SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. IL, 1855.
The city Of Savannah presents 3 very
lively appearance to the stranger landing
on the levee. Wagons here, wagons there,
wagons every where-not the wagons of
trade, but theinevitsbls army wagon, with
its six obstinate mules, who viii persist in
going the wrong way, Notwithstanding the
"To no" Of their driver, and the liberal
sprinkling Of oafhs Of other drivers. Bar
rels, boxes, cases, ordnance stores, quarter
masters stores, eommissary supplies are
daily, hourly, yes, minutely, landed on the
dock, from whence they disappear in the
wagons, OF are swallowed up In the ware
houses where once the merchants Of this
city ttored their goods, and lstterly their
cotton. Q1srtsrmasters and their clerks,
commisssries and their clerks, wagon
masters with no clerks are busily Tying
around checking of their invoice, signing
that receipt, issuing orders tOsubordinates,
and still finding time to greet old friends as
they land. Guards at each Of the streets
leadingto to the lines prevent ali who have no
business there from going down totbe dock.
Much confusion is thus avoided. Just
at the top Of the river bank Is Bay street,
crowded with army wagons, among whose
maze horsemen dodge and turn and pick
their devious way. Tesmsters, whita and
black, cluster In groups, snd compare notes
as to the state Of the road over which each
has to travel, and eat pies and cakes Of S
very doubtful quality. Around the head
quarters Of General Gery, commanding
the post q throng Of people wait their turn
to transact their business with the officials
who now occupy the clerk desks Of the
Railroad Bank" Beyond is the Custom
House and Post Ohees, where the Ssvan-
nah Republican and Herald sficos are,
queer specimens Of neWspaperdom. The
Christian Commission have opened one Of
the large stores on Bay street, and placed
therein two long rows Of writing tsblea.-
These tables are daily crowded with soldiers
who gladly avail themselves Of the paper.
pen and ink gratnituously furnished By the
Commission, TO write home. Here Is the
husband writing 10 his wife, the son to his
mother, the brother to his sister, or may
hap to somebody else's sister, the fsthsr to
his children, and sll telling Of Sherman's,
no, their great march, and specializing az
to what will be done by The Army Of
Georgia. There Is also q billiard saloon
several restaurants in full blast. An EE-
press Office has been opened and il Alresdy
overwhelmed with business. The Pulaski
House affords fair accommodation 70 5 host
of patrons, and orderliss and horses indi-
cate the presence Of quite g large
number of officers. Suffers stores
and such other shops as have been per
mitted to open are thronged with custom
erA Amongst the Shopksepers are the
usual proportion Of the Hebrew persua-
sion. General Geary has eStabliahed q
list Of prices, and overchArging theee
rates brings about oondscation Of the stock
and the incarceration of the proprietor.
Passing along the by streets, clusters Of
soldiers can be seen around the doors Of
many Of the shsnties where the occupants
white and black, dispense corn bread st
fifty cents per loaf. Some Of the small
GROCERIES about town have also reopaned,
and whiaksy distilled from Sorghum Is re-
tailed at 81 per glass. This business Is
stopped as soon as 1t Is made known TO the
Provost -Msrshsls. The city has been d.
vidRd into two sections, eastern and west
ern, and these sections subdivided into
districts.
The General Provost MarshaTs Office is
daily throngsd swith citizens, soldiers,
negroes and everything that can walk or
be carried. The other Offices are easily
distinguished by smaller crowds.
The mansions Of citizens who have left
the city for the city's good, are occupied by
general and staff officers. In many in
stances, officers have been invited to accept
quarters In the houses ofsome of the wealth.
iest citizens who regard their presence as
q sure protection. Pianos that lately re-
sounded with rebel tunes now give utter
snce to the loyal songs of traitor-hating
officers. DrsRing-rOoms wherein the
naughty Southern women have fostered
and encouraged rebellion and treason, now
echo to the tread Of Union warriors, and
re-echo with their merry laughter. The
slave-quArters attached to each mansion
hold no more the bondman, but are occu-
pied by orderlies or free negro servants.
The squares are occupied by the troops, who
have erected neat huts In which they have
made themselves quite comfortable. Not g

New YORK;, commanding Third Brigade,
Second Division, Twelfth Army Corps has
inaugurated an afternoon dress parade on
South Broad street, which proves highly
attractive to the citizens as well as to the
other troops. There Is negro minstrel
troupe at st. Andrews Ball, and the the
ater is used for concerts by the celebrated
band Of the Tnirty- third Massachusetts,
Regiment. Every possible inducemsnt Is
offered the citizens 70 enjoy themselves and
to resume their vested svocAticns with

attended. What Is more, and that can
not explain, there is and has been for the
last two months daily service at several
