OF the Capture...Augusta
TO be Taken Next.


NEW YoRK, Dec. 27.-The World.
speclai from Fortress Monroe %. learns
from Major Gray, of Gen. Shermans staf.
particulars OF the capture Of Savannah:
Inc surrender was made BY the Mayor1
and Council. Shermans and Slocnms
headquarters are in the city. The demand
for the surrender was made on the 18th
and Sherman closed his disnatch Nth
Hoods words to the negro troops At Dsi-
ton, to the effect that # his demand vss
not complied with he would take M nr;s.
oners: Hardee replied that he could and
would hold the city. 2iH,l3
Sherman proceeded to complete the in.
vestment of the city, but owing to swamna
on the north side could not at once extend
his lines in that direction. 49,
Gen. Hatch's division of Fosters force
held the left of our line, occupying the
upper part of Hutchins Island, completely
blockading the ingress and egress over the
river below where ferry was discovered
plying between the city and union cause
way: This was the hole through which
Hardee got out. 'ii 80 : y !
Our prisoners are increased by constant
~ finding them secreted. The city Is 60
full of citizens, refugees and others. that
many live on the streets. Nearly 800
prisoners have succeeded in reaching our,
lines. The Aillen prisoners are supposed
to be forty-three miles south of Savannah. }
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Sherman am
nounces to the Secretary of War that he
intended to move up the Savannah River
Immediately and capture Augusta. Y
The news to-day is that he has already
moved. Sherman says after this he shall
turn round on the rebels of Charleston, de-
stroying all its railroads on the way.
New YORK, Dec. 28.-The Savannah
Republican of the 21st says: -
By the fortunes of war we, to-day. pass
under the authority of the Federal military
forces. The evacuation has left the CITY
gates open, and Sherman with his army
will no doubt to-day take possession. We
desire to counsel obedience and all proper
respect on the part of our citizens, and to
express the belief that their property and
persons will be respected by our military
rulers. -. '''I
The fear that Gen. Sherman will repeat
the Atlanta expulsion order, we think is
without foundation. Then he could not
supply food for citizens and army. In our
case food can abundantly be supplied for
the army and citizens.
1t behooves all to keep within. their
houses until Gen. Sherman can organize
the Provost Marshal system. Let our
conduct be such as to win the admiration
OF a magnanimous foe, and give no ground
for complaint or harsh treatment on the
part OF him who may for an indefinite Pc
Rod hold possession Of our city. ,l1 ~
The Herald correspondent says the reb-
ell Commodore Hunter has gone up the
Savannah River with couple of light
draft gunboats. "'" 'as1 q -.
Wheeler's cavalry, Hardee's infantry,
and Hunters fleet combined, are the seve-
raj obstacles to Sherman's march on Au-
gusta by water transportation.

TIE WOUND OF MosEBY Fredericks-
burg, Dec. 25.--The gallant Moseby re-
ceived dangerous but not mortal wound,
last Wednesday. He is in our hands,
well cared for.
A raiding party of the enemy landed
in Westmoreland on Monday, committed
a good many depredations, and then left.
From the Richmond Examiner, Dec. %.
1t has been known in this city for Sc
veral days past that Colonel Moseby was
wounded seriously while en- route for his
command in Fauquier, on Wednesday
last. The particulars, so far as report
ed, represent that he was attacked by a
party of the enemy at a private house,
whittier he had repaired to avoid them,
where they discovered him. He, sup
posing that they would know him, COM
nenced shooting at them, and, after kill
ing and wounding four of his assailants,
he fell, seriously wounded, the enemy
having Immediately returned bis FIRE. II
appears, however, that they did not re-
cognize him, and supposing that be was
mortally wounded, they left him. lie is
now in safe place, and, it is thought,
will soon be out Of danger from his
wound.

portance from the armies in Georgia,
Tennessee, or on the James river. It is
intimated that Gen. Thomas has started

Grating against Wilmington was, at last
accounts, at anchor at Beaufort, N. G.
Gen. Sherman has published an order
in Savannah which seems to indicate
determination on his part to send beyond
his lines all citizens who adhere to the
Confederate government. He says:-
The mayor will forthwith give public
notice that the time has come when all
must choose their course, viz: to remain
within our lines and conduct themselves
as good citizens, or depart in peace. He
will ascertain the names of all who
choose to leave Savannah, and report
their names aud residences to the chief
quartermaster, that measures may be ia
ken to transport them beyond the lines"
Gen. Sherman further says that not
more than two newspapers shall be pub
lished in Savannah, and that the editors
will be held to the strictest accounta-
bility, and will be punished severely in
person and property for, among other
things, ''any comments whatever upon
the acts of the constituted authorities"

ExTRAvAoANcn IN NEW YoRK.--A

Marvellous stories are related Of the
costly presents that have been purchased
at some of the Broadway jewelry and fan
cy stores, during the week, for presenta-
ton on New Years day. One house,
to my certain knowledge, sold necklace
yesterday, worth So, 500, and cash down
was paid for it, too. The purchaser was
the vice. president of q down town insu-
rance company, and q bachelor. The
same firm sold, within half an hour of
the above, a pair of bracelets, studded
with diamonds, at 81. 100. Another
house in Broadway say they have been
in the business for five and twenty years,
but never sold SO many costly articles as
they have this season. AS another proof
of the extravagant tendencies of the
times, the fact may be mentioned that a
magnificent brown stone front mansion
was sold on hurry Hill, (Fifth avenue,
on Wednesday, for $95, 900, the purcha.
ser of which only three years ago. it is
said, would have found it hard work to

The " PEACE MISSION TO RIcumoSD. .

THE PEACE Mission TO RICHMOND. +"
The Washington papers of Tuesday
last, deny that the Messrs. BLAIR had
gone on peace mission to Richmond.
The Republican says:
I" Hon Montgomery Blair and his IA
Their, Francis P. Blair, Sr, returned to
this city on Monday from brief visit to
Fortress Monroe and City Point. Some
of the newspaper CORES pondents sent
them upon semi-offlcial peace mission
to jeff, Davis. This was, Of course, a
mistake"
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer writes:
Francis P. Blair, ST., and Montgo-
merry Blair returned from the Army of
the Potomac tonight. Gen. Grant de-
clined to give him pass to go to Rich
mond, he not having any authority from
the President or Secretary of War to
pass the lines, Gen. Grant would not
take the responsibility on his shoulders.
1t is said the main object of Mr.. Blair,
Sr., was to procure those letters which
had been stolen from his house last sum-
mer by the rebels, and which contain a
complete history of the intrigues of his
political career, an expose of which would
be damaging to leading men, both living
and dead, upon both sides of the lines"
