Savannah is situated on the right

about eighteen miles from the coast:
has population of 10000 inhabitants,
a concentration of wealth and aristoc-
racy, making it one of the handsomest
cities of its size on the continent. The
city is beautifully laid out, with broad
streets densely shaded, interspersed
with numerous parks, squares and
monuments. One of particular grand
eur is that of Count Pulaski, a noble
Pole, who fell there in the cause of
American independence.
The defenses of the city were all on
the southeast or coast side, and were
of the most formidable character, they

march was midway of these railroads.
We had several formidable streams to
cross, but having our pontoon bridges
with us, they did not impede our
march very much. We passed through
McDonough, Jackson aud Monticello,
the county seats of Henry, Bates and
Jasper counties, but few days before
fourishing towns. The inhabitants
had abandoned them, leaving perhaps
their all to the mercy of an invading
soldiery. The high roads for the first
two weeks of our march, were literally
strewcd with every conceivable con
Gaping in from the wrath to come,
but were overtaken by our cavalry
and their principal means of transpor-
tation taken and appropriated for the
further prosecution Of the war. Such
a state of things can be better imagin-
ed than described.
| On the 10Th of November we crossed
the Ocumulgee river at Planters fac
tory, destroying the factory mills and
5000 bales of cotton stored there for
government use. Proceeding on our
march, we struck the Macon & Sa-
vannah railroad ataGordon, the june
tion of the Milledgeville branch rail
road, about twenty miles from Macon
and sixteen from Milledgeville. Here
our division commenced the destruction
of railroad property and made an ac-
ceptable job of it to AIillen, at the
junction of the Augusta road to Sh-
vannah.
On the 25th of November we crossed
the Oconee river. The country through
here is pine growing, sandy, unset
tied section, with numerous swamps.

Ogeechee river. Here we had consid-

prisoners, men who were exempt from

they were pressed into the ranks

December 10 we arrived on the

city of Savannah. Here they had some
strong works on the east side, and
had dropped the sluice gates on this
stream while the tide was in, thus
