Savannah. at the same time no such neces-
sity now exists, and all those troops can be
consolidated for battle. In a strategical point
OF view, the evacuation of Savannah was
source OF strength to rs and danger to Shsr-
man.
The Sentine, Of Wednesday says: "Ths PEG.
ole of Richmond-the great multitude who, by
the most unremitting labor, cannot make one
half the sum paid to Government clerks-dre
starving. This is not flourish, but q fired fact.
The avarics of traders, hucksters and butchers
has brought this about, and it is time for Ooun-
ellis to do something"
The Wing of that date says 1t Is folly to talk
of returning as colonists to Great Britain for
protection; that Great Britain would not dare
to receive them; that any interference Of Great
Britain would be resented as an insult by the
United States, and that Great Britain has not
power to enforce any line OF hostile policy she
. may adopt.
The Wig says -" Great Britain has aiiow wed
the Yankees to put their coasts into such q state
of defeuse as 10 render them unassailable By
her fleets.
"She has no ships that could encounter the
Yankee monitors with any prospect of sue
cess, and although it is easy enough for her to
build such, yet the probability is that they
would not be able to cross the ocean. Moni-
tors are made for coast defense and not for
ocean navigation. She could not, then, in all
ports, far less send an army and fleet here to
assist us in driving away the Yankees pre-
paratory to returning to colonial vassalage
I'VE think Ii, therefore, hardly worth while
to inquire into the expediency OF returning to
the arms Of Old England, seeing Old England
fight 1t out with the Yankees. The alterna-
tive presented Is death or slavery. We hope
our people have not yet come to that point
that they hesitate in their choice"

long to the Academy OF Visitation, was fred
by some malicious person and destroyed. The
loss was trifling, but the fire caused consider
able alarm to the Young ladies Of the academy,
1t being within fifty feet Of the building, and
also to the residents on Fayette and Fourth
streets. The firemen and police were on the
spot and actively exerted themselves to pre-
vent the spread of the flames to more valuable
property. The fire. plug at the intersection OF
Fourth and Fayette could not be used, the
screw resisting all efforts to turn il. Had the
academy building been liz flames, the fremen
could have done little for lack of asupply or
water. The citizens applied themselves to the
extinsuishment OF the fire by throwing snow,
Ice and mud upon it, when it was discovered
that the water could not be obtained from the
plug.

GEN. LEE CUT oFF.-The work of Sherman's
army has been seriously felt by Gen. Lee and
his army In Virginia. The destruction of the
Georgia ''Gulf Railroad was staggering

sate note to gentleman In New York city,
says the Post, from friend In Savannah, states
an officer of the g ulf Railroad, that that road

was broken up by Shermans troops, with elev-
en- thousand five hundred head of cattle per
week, the beef coming from Florida and south
Alabama. Even this supply was insufficient
Tor Lees demands, it seems; for a month or six
weeks before Sherman left Atlanta and Savan-
