THE FIRE AT SAVANNAH.

IuE E1Rh AL SAN ANNA1k.
A letter from Savannah gives long
description Of the recent conhagration
there. It says:
The fire commenced on the north side
Of Tubby street, between Ann and St.
Gall streets, in the stable Of Mrs. Nor
rell. 1t then extended to Ann street,
corner of Tubby street, and from thence
to the arsenal. The following additional
property is known to have been de-
stroyed: Walnut street, four houses
Orange street, ten houses; st. Gall
street, fourteen houses; West Broad
street, thirty houses. On Congress,
Montgomery; Pine, Broughton, Tubby
and St. Gall streets, over one hundred
buildings must have been destroyed
This is but rough estimate. 1t will be
several days before the entire damage
can be ascertained.

conduct OF the war to the development Of the pro-
duc;ive interests Of the country-the production Of
food and clothing should be stimulated by all the
available means In the power Of the Government

governed ITSELF of denying TO soldiers the re-
1uis:e supplies OF food and clothing, except so f,
they could be obtained at less than market prices

THE YANKEE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY
SPEECH FROM LINCOLN.
The constitutional amendment" for
the abolition and prohibition of slavery
Throughout the country" has been re-
ceived by the Yankee people with enthu-
siasm, and is being acted upon by the
Legislatures of some of the States. 1t
has been ratified by the Legislatures OF
illinois, Michigan and Rhode Island, and
by one House in that of Maryland, while
in those of New York, Massachusetts, and
other States the ratification measures
have been introduced. Ina speech which
President Lincoln made on Wednesday
night, in response to seronade in honor
of the success Of the amendment in the
House of Representatives, he said that,
while some might entertain doubts about
the legal validity of the abolition of sla-
very by his proclamations, none could
cavil when it was decreed by the concur
renee of three-fourths of the States in
the resolution adopted by Congress. In
Massachusetts, the people manifested their
enthusiasm by the ringing of bells and
firing of salutes throughout the State
In the West Virginia House of Delegates,
on Monday last, the bill to abolish sla~
very in that State was ordered to its
third reading.

counteract and dissipate an erroneous
impression existing among them that

and engaged in, system Of special ex-
change. &1-%
In the course of the debate elected by
!. this resolution, several gentlemen ex-
planned the action of our Government on
the subject Of special exchanges to be
this: That whenever the Yankee au-
fhorities would select any one of our men
or officers, prisoners in their hands. and
send them to US, we would, in exchange.
return an equivalent, selected by our
selves. But in no. case will we discrimi.
nate among our soldiers in the hands of
the enemy by selecting any one for spe.
c;al exchange, nor will We allow the
snemy TO say who We shall send in ex
change for any officer or man sent to US

IArEsr FROM SHERMAN.

LATEST FROM SHEHMAN.
The Yankee dates from Savannah are
to the 2sth ultino. They announce with
great joy the "opcning Of the campaign
on the soil Of South Carolina" The dis
patch says:
Oae portion of Major General Sher-:
mans army moved direct from Savan-
nah, Georgia, and the other, consisting Of
two corps, moved from Beaufort, South
Carolina, and were both rapidly advano-
ing against Charleston, South Carolina.
Tbo latest intelligence from Sherman's
army represents it to be at distance of
less than forty miles from Charleston
The rebels were offering resistance at
every point, but were rapidly being
driven from every available position for
defence. Forage and subsistence were
found in large quantities by our soldiers
as they followed the retreating steps of
the rebels.
The army commanded by Major Gen
eral Foster was cooperating with the
army under General Sherman, and the
movements OF our troops through South
Carolina are but the precursor of far
more terrible and disastrous campaign to
the rebels than that of their celebrated
march through the heart of Georgia.
The lines of General Sherman were
being gradually contracted, and it was
probable that no desperate resistance
would be made, or battle offered, until
our forces had reached to within few
miles of Charleston, where the main body
of the rebel forces would be concentrated,
to make one last terrible effort to save
the State from the inroads of Sherman's
conquering army.
