GEN. SHERMAN.
Order Reigns in Savannah.
Heavy Blow to Lee and Davis.
Lee has Thirty Days Rations.
Press Dispatch.l

New YORK, Jan. 6.-The Post has pri.
vate letter from Savannah, which speaks
of the order prevailing in that city since
its occupation by our army and the con-
fidence citizens have Of our protection
A citizen late one night exhibited his
watch to the writer and said he would
not dare to wear watch or anything
else of value on the streets at night be-
fore the arrival of Sherman.
The writer was also informed that
Governor Brown was about to issue
proclamation before Hoods march to-
ward Sherman's rear, calling conven-
ton to propose terms of peace, but was
deferred by Hoods movements. He was
afraid of JEFF Davis 1t would appear
that the destruction of the Georgia rail
road by Sherman struck staggering
blow to Lee and Davis at Richmond.
The Post has seen a private letter
from a citizen of Savannah, which states
on the authority of an officer of that road,
that it supplied Lees army up to the
time it was broken, with 100 head OF
cattle per week, the cattle coming from
Florida and southern Alabama. There
is reason to believe, from information in
possession of residents of Savannah, that
Lee has not thirty days rations on hand

The Blockade Runner Oliesfa-CaP-

ChnrIP-IOu,

New YORK, Jan 6-The Herald's Beall-
fort correspondent, writing on the 18Th
saws the United States steamer Lillian,
lately the captured blockade runner by
that name, has Just arrived here for coal,
and reports having fallen i'll with the
pirate Oliosta, that vessel having run
ont of Wilmington on the night of the
25th of December over the western bar,
while the fleet was engaged with Fort
Fisher On the morning of the Goth the
Lillian discovered black smoke to sea
ward and gave chase, coming within
gunshot Of the supposed blockade runner.
The vessel did not seem disposed to
heavc to- The Lillian accordingly
opened on the stranger with her forward
pivot gun and fired two shots Upon
nearing the stranger it was discovered
that she had flying at her mast head the
rebel ensign, and carried five large guns.
As the Lillian carries but two small guns
it was wisely considered prudent not TO
fight the rebel. The Lillian then put
about and stood in for the fleet. The
rebel followed her some distance, but
finding that the Lillian was far outdls,
tancing her and she was approaching the
blockading fleet, the rebel changed her
course and started in another direction.
The Heralds correspondent off Charles
ton Goth, says the blockade running
steamer Julia, with a cargo of $50 bales
of cotton, bound from Charleston to Mas
sau, was captured short distance out
side of the former port on the Goth, by
the United States Gunboat Accacia.-
The Julia and cargo are valued at $780,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Andrews who
commands the guard picketing on the
Potomac river from the great falls to
the mouth of the Monocacy, says that
the guerrillas who infest the banks OF

passes without their firing upon our
pickets and making an attempt to cross
the river at some point or other. Mon
day night while the mail carrier Of Major
Andrews was carrying mail from the
camp to Poolesyille, he was fired upon
from the Virginia shore, and ball
passed through his hat. On the same

would be not only no reason to aid US,
but would be an additional reason for
abandoning us to our fate and encour-
ging our enemies TO complete their con-
quest.
1t is said that we are averse TO diplo-
macy By no means Diplomacy is a
highly respectable kind of agency for
the transaction of international affairs,
but we have observed that there is Rot a
satisfactory diplomacy between two ma
tions, one OF which is begged for favors
and the other sues IN forna pdaperis, one
of which has entirely the front door to
all the Courts of the world, and the
other has to creep up the back stairs at
imminent risk of being kicked out.
One writer suggests that there is
treachery in advice to rely solely upon
our own strength, and to disregard and
neglect the aid of diplomacy. Perhaps
this sagacious writer can tell us where
there is anything else for us TO rely upon
than our own strength, and what dip
lomacy is open TO US, and with whom 2
This Confederacy has never had any
other reliance than its own native
strength and resolution has none other
now, either actual or possible, and this
being the truth we hope there is no
treachery in plainly saying so. As to
those who are now urging upon the Con-
federate States that they should offer to
return to colonial dependence, or aboh-
ton of slavery, to England and France.

The following compilation from our exchanges
shows how some of the generals, who figured
prominently during the war, now engag-
ed:
Burnside has gone into the railroad business
at Reno and Pithole. Carl Sehurz is a Wash
ington correspondent. Sigsl has become editor
of Baltimore German paper. Franklin is su-
perentending the Colts armory at Hartford. w
). Smith, the famous cavalry leader, has gone
into the retail grocery trade at Chicago. Pat
rick has returned TO the plow Ferrero leading
the art of dancing and Percy Wyndham is again
a fencing master. Among the late rebel gener-
ais, Buckner, of KY, ia now associate editor of
New Oaleans paper; Gardiner of Port Hudson
memory, is local reporter while the general
who drove off Franklin and his 900 men at
Sabine is bar-keeper at Houston, Gen. G. F.

and convinced that he could not advance an
other step ION that line, latter all this,
Gen. Grant says, in effect, that all this had
been in vain that it had all been a great
mistake; that nothing had been accomplish
ed by it; that he could not hold the line over
which he had marched and that (humiliat-
ing confession) he was, after all, obliged to
transfer what remained of his army to the
much despiscd James river, and after waiting
there for reinforcements, to operate against
Richmond from that base, from Mcclellan
base, from the base to which he might have
proceeded early in May; without the loss of a
man Accordingly, on the 18th of June, the
movement from Cold ArbOr was commenced
and the advance corps of the army reached
the James river on the 18th. From that
moment Gen. Grant took up Gen. McClellsn's
plans; from the point where the latter had
been compelled to abandon them in August,
1862, by Gen. Halleck and carried them, of
course, TO a successful termination.
