FROM SAVANNAH.

A letter from Savannah, dated the 31st
ultino, has an account of the review of
the negro fire companies on the day be.
fore by Generals Sherman and GearY.
About military matters, it says:
There was little stir on the other side
of the river this morning. For several
days rebel sharpshooters have been giving
considerable annoyance to our boatmen
and hands employed in clearing the OBJ
structions out of the river below the city.
Last night detachments from the First
and Third divisions of the Twentieth
corps were sent across, and early this
morning skirmish occurred, in which
the rebels were scattered in every direc-
ton. They are supposed to be portion
Of Wheelers cavalry. I'VE had a few
men wounded, but suffered no other loss.
AS you are aware ers this time, no
doubt, General Fosters expedition. up
Broad river was not successful. The
rebels still hold the railroad, and are
liAely'to continue in possession of it till
a larger force is sent to dslodgc them,
which, by the way, can very soon be
done when the proper time comes for
Sherman TO move.
AS for the city, everything is quiet and
we'll regulated. We are pleased to an
nounce, as a matter of record, that the
schooner Maryland, Captain Cathcart,
yesterday, was moored at one of our
wharves, she being the first sail vessel that
has arrived since the re- occupation of the
city by the Union forces.

tersed with persons who saw him. ne
w,s reported as very low tho first two
DAYS. but better the third. He was then
tracked to Piedmont, and from thence to
Salem. and out of Salem towards the
Warrenton pike. - -,
Several persons who saw hmm in the
ambulance report his splitting blood, and
the belief that he. cannot live seems to be
general. He is probably concealed IN
the country, seriously, if not fatally: IN
iured. A farmer who saw him last sun
day said he was not expected to live.

the cessation Of hostilities and the union
Mr.. Pruyn (New York; said he and
those on his side claimed that the Union
had never been dissolved, and that it ex-
lists in its entity this day that there is
q rebellion against the laws and the Con-
stitution. and that the whole object of the
war is to put down the rebellion and
bring back the rebels to obedience. Ina
very memorable speech made last year,
the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. |
Stevens) said that we had acknowledged
the South as belligerents and as foreign |
power. and that the rebels had all the
rights Of belligercnts and had been
treated as such by all the .powers of Eu-
rope, and that we were bound to treat
them in the same way. Now he under.
stood the gentleman had reversed his
position. and claimed that these people
were simply rebels, that we are to put
down the rebellion, and that they do not
occupy the position they did last year:
Mr.. Steyens-To what does the gentle.
man refer?
Mr.. Pruyn-Your speech Of last year!
Mr.. Stevens-I still maintain that the
South, having proclaimed itself indie
| pendent of this Government, and taken
up arms to support its position, is, by
the law of nations, belligerent, and |
hold that they should never come back
Into the Union except as new States
r1rom conquered territory.
MIR. Pruyn said he had quoted from
the gentlcman's speech to show the gen
tlema,,'s position was utterly inconsistent
with that which he took last year; now
the gentleman says they are not con-
nuered nation.
Mr.. Stcvens-I said no such thing!
Mr.. Pruyn-Then the gentleman
quoted from Scripture to show that We
ought to execute vengeance on these
people.
Mr.. Stevens-I applied Scripture to
show the Lord punished us for not abol-
ishing slavery, and that he will continue
to punish us until we do.
Mr.. Pruyn-I certainly understood
the gentleman to say it was our moral
and religious cuty to put down the re-
bcllion as a rebellion, and not as the
conquest Of foreign power.
The committee then rose and the
House adjourned.
A Washington telegram says:
Francis Blair, ST., feeling himself ag-
grieved by the story told of his recent

1t is a noticeable fact that, during the
debate in the House this afternoon on
the subject of peace, both Mr.. Greeley
and Mr. Blair were present. 1t will be
seen from the Congressional report that
Representative Cox said he saw the for
