JOYFUL NEWS FROM SHERMAN, ES Arrival ef a Scout at Hilton Head—Sher- y Ten Miles The March up to that hecked—Brief Dis- patch frem Gen. Moward—It Tells the he hole Story—Our +‘Success thus far Per- ject.*? Hitton HEAD, S. C., Dec. 12. (via FORTRESS Monrog, Va., Dec, 14.—Major General H. W. Chief of Staff :-—General—Captain Duncan, of General Howard’s scouts, has just come in from General Howard, having descended the Ogeeche river in a email boat. He left the army on the evening of the Sth. Sherman’s whole army was then within ten miles of Sa- vannab, advancing to attack it. The enemy's works, five miles from the city, were probably attacked yesterday, as heavy firing was heard in that direction. Captain Duncan represents the army to be in the best spirits possibile, and in most excel- lent condition. Very little opposition had been rset with onthe march, asthe enemy-could not tell what routes would be taken. The army has lived off the country, and had accu. mulated a considerable number of horses and cattle. It was also well supplied. The following is ® copy of the dispatch brought by Captain Duncan: “HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE TENNESSER, NEAR SAVANNA CANAL, Dee. 9. 1561.—To the Commander of the U.S, Naval Forces in the vicin- ity of Savannah, Ga —Sir: We have met with perfect success thus far. Troopsin tinespirits, aud near by. “Respecifally, . 0.0. HowARD, Major General commanding, Right wing army.” Another dispatch was bronght by Captain Duncan, directed to the signal officer of the fleet, from General Howard’s chief signal offi- cer, requesting & good lookout to be kept for signals, T have the honor to be, very respecifuily, your obedient servant, J. G@. FoatTra, Major General Commanding. From Port Royal, S.C. Fortress Monnog, Dec. 13.—The steamship Arago, Captain Gadsdin, arrived here lasteve- ning, baying in tow the United States gunboat Augusta, which broke down whileen the way from Port Royal. The Arago brings mails, passengers, and important dispa'ches from General Foster, commanding the Department of the South. The latest advices from Sherman at the time the Arago left—on the Sth instant—were that Gis advance troops, comprising mostly cavairy and light artilley, had reached a point only lorty miles from Savannah, and were steadily feeling their way towards tnat city, withevery prosp ect of capturing it with very little loss to isarmy. He had sacceed+d in severing the railroad communication leading toand from Savannah, and had cat off the most important routes of supplies for the troops that were has- tily assembiing in the defence of the city. The most intense consternation issaid by our men recently exchanged to be prevailing not only in Savannab, where the authorities are hourly expecting to hear the booming of the guns of Sherman’s vanguard, but also in Charleston, it being with difficulty that the excited feelings of the populace can be al- layed, 80 great is there dread that Sherman msy yet make the capture of this latter city the object of his grand campaign. The ex- change of prisoners is progressing very savor- ably, considering the state of affairs in Charles- ton, And no doubt is entertained but that Col.

Lovisvitie, Dec. 4th.—The Journal’s sne- cial Nashville despatch, Dec. 13, says: ci The weather has considerably moderated. All of our forts did more or less firing to-day, tutapparently with little damage totheenemy. Skirmishing between the lines was renewed to-day with greater earnestness than for some days past. The enemy yesterday fell back to his main line, but to day has reinstated the force in his outer lines. Despatches fully contirm the success of Gen. Rossean’s troops, under Gen. Milroy. Gen Bates’s division is within two miles ot Murfreesboro. Nothing has been heard from the rebel brigade that crossed yesterday at the Cumber- land. Despatches received from Gen. Rossean say that Murfreesboro is allright, and heexpresses contidence that he will hold the place against any force the enemy has at his command. The Democrat says: “We are informed that Gen. Lyen’s rebel forces burned the depot and several sheds at Haddensville, on the Mem- pbis branch railroad yesterday.” Colonel Johnson telegraphs that the rebel Gen. Lyon’s adyance is moving on Ruesell- ville. His main force, 2,500 strong, is at Elk- ton. The Navy Co-operating with Thomas. Acting Rear Admiral S. P.

Sharp skirmishing occurred during the after- neon. There was no losses on the Federal side except some half a dozeu wounded. A deserter who came in yesterday, reports that Hood nad altered-his lines. Somewhat later and reliable information is to the effect that the rebel forces are still in their former position. Hood bas been reported sick at Franklin, with typhoid fever, but the report is not cre- dited. He is undoubtedly with his troops, within a few miles of Nashville. A lotef Government wood was destroyed by a party of Contederates, ten miles up the river yesterday. A portion of rebel General Lyon‘s command is reported to have burned some trestle work on the Edg*tisldand Ken- tucky railroad,twelve miles above Springfield, Tenn. DISCHARGE OF THE ST. ALBANS RAIDER! MonTEEAL, Dec. 13.—The case of the St. Al- bans raiders Was reopened to-day before Jus- tice Conreal. The court-room was well filled with spectators. The appearance of the pri- soners WSs much the same As at the last hear- ing. Ke the commencement of the proceedings Mr. Kerr objected that the court had no jaris- diction in the case. He denied im toto his bovor’s right to sit there at all on this investi- gation. F Mr. Derbin sald that, after having granted 4 deiay of @ month, they had now met to hear evidence for the defence, and ndt to listen toa legal argument. After afew words from the Court, and from Mr. Johneon, Queen’s counsel— Mr. Kerr was allowed to gointo an argu- tnent as to the jurisdiction of the court in the premiees, and after some discussion between the counsel, the Court said that this was matter of most grave importance, involving bis right of jurisdiction, and, consequently, the validity or these proceedings from the com- mencement. He should, therefore, take time to consider it before proceeding further, and for this purpose the court would adjonrn until 3p. m. tne Court reassembled at 3 o’clock, and was geneely. crowded. Justice Coursal, on taking e bench, said the matter in question was Most important, aince his authority had been denied. He had given the argnmenton both ides his most serious consideration, and had come to the conclusion that the case came under the imperial act, and that he was bound to act and toobey the imperial authority. Io al question, like the oné under con- sider ¢ imperial act was supreme, and must is guide. Ourown provincial act to t tt the Ashburton treaty had not Sealed the special royal sanction requisite. The cace wasa Ream e! aud being national he ceald So no giper than w our m act to give wa! that ofthe Imper- Legislature.

The announcement WAS received with ap- piause by a number of persons present, but the demonstration was instantly checked. Mr. Devlin then rose, and in & most impas- sioned epeech implored his Honor not to order the discharge of the prisoners upon the ree maining indictments, but in fairness and jas- tice to the counsel for the United States, and for thoseot the private prosecutors, the Banks, to allow of a bearing. e contended that the prisoners could be discharged only on this one particular indictment, and the court owed it to the counse! to be heard on the others, Shoald it be said in an English court of justice that the Judge having decided in favor of the prisoners iu one case, he immediately dischar, them in Six others, what would be sald outside? TBe counsel for the defense themselves knew that the course which the court had taken was un- precedented. Had not his Honor issued six Warrants, and yet he had but one warrant be- fore him. Hie called solemaly on the court to hesitate. He(Mr. Devlin) could not remain silent wDilst thirteen men charged with rob- bery, and even with murder, were allowed to at hberty without their several cases being in- vestigated. Cur good name for justice and tair play was at siake, and thongh some amongs' us might be sympathizers with the prisoners, he had yet to learn that they set at naught the jewel, fair play. He again called upon the court to hesitate before discharging these men, and give the counsel for the prosecation a chance of being heard, for here the most im- portant interests of all were at stake, viz., in- ternational ones. He again implored ‘he court not to order this wholesale delivery. lle wouid put it to the court, was it treating the connsel tor the prosecution with fairness! If the court should persist in doing this, then we must be prepared for the consequences. No cenntry had dealt fairer with England in extradition matters than had the United States. Their Judges combined to give effect w the extradi- tion treaty. The Judges of our Supreme Ooart bad concurrent jurisdiction with bis Honor, and had counsel knowu of the probable course of Lis Honor, they would have desired the eourtto allow these Jndges to have seats on the bench with him. Mr. Johnson rose and said that both those who represented the United States and those who represented private interests in this affair Lad upon them a grave responsibility, bat he thought Mr. Devlin mistaken in the yiew which he took of the judgment of the court. The court meant that the prisoners were dis- charged on the one charge which dad been investigated. The Court bere said that Mr. Deviin had understood the judgment of the conrt aright, The prisoners were discharged in every case betore bim. Mesers. Kerr, Abbott, and Lafiamme, counsel for the prisoners, objected to any calling in question of the judgment. Mr. Rose, counsel for the United States, wiehed to speak. He said he did not mean to call his Honor’s judgment jast delivered in question The Court declined to bear further, saying that if he had no right to arrest these men on one charge, as be held that he had not, then neither had he the right to detain them on any others. These men had been arrested on magis- trates’ warrants upon his own motion, and then on motion of the police, and now when his Honor's own jurisdiction was called in question because his warrants were nuil and void, he saw be had been mistaken, aod it was the duty of every British judge, on finding that, to rectify the errors, The Court crdered, therefore, that the pris- oners be immediately discharged, and was pre- pared to incur the responsibility of hie own acts. Applause again broke out in the court, but was again instantly checked. In & few minntes the prisoners walked through the court-room and were eongratu- lated by a few of their acquaintances; and when they emerged trom thé building a few voices were raised in something meant to be cheers. They then separated, looking pleased at their enlargement, and the crowd at once dispersed. ST. ALBANS RAID CASE. Important Order by Gen.
