Washington, Dee, 5.—The Rervwuscan of this eity, in an extra, publishes the following: “By the errival of the Governroent transport at Fortress Monroe Inst evening, the Government has received ed vices from Savannah to the 2d of December, that when tho steamer left, information had reached Bevannsh that Shermman'y advance cavalry was within six miles of that city." This does not con- flict with the news brought by the steamer Della, which arrived on Saturday night, that Savannah papers of the 80th of November announced that Bherman's army was within lorty miles of that sity. These papers do not state at what date he was that distance from the city. A gentleman re- cently fromm Savannah informs us that there are no important defences on the West side of Ba- vannab. Baltimore, Dee. 5.—Advices from Fortress Mon- roe of last evening report the arrival there of the Steamer Gen, Lyon, with 759 released prisoners, At the time the Gen, Lyon left Savannah (last Thursday night), the )atest news received there was to the effect that Gen. Sherman occupied Mil- len, Ga., and that bis cavalry was scouting several miles out from the town, meeting with but lite resistance. Every effort was being made for the dofence of Savannah, Our prisouers report that boys of thirteen years, and even women, were as- isting in the trenches and earthworks, Sherman was slowly but surely advancing to the coast, and no doubt of his succeas need be eutertained. New York, Dec. 5 —A private letter received in the city per the Fulton, from Port Royal, and com- ing from excellent authority, say ‘Sberinan's advance is said to be leas than cighty miles from Savannah, Admira! Dahlgren and Gen, Foster are ecting in concert with him, an! something bril- Want may be expected very shortly, probably he- fore another steamer leaves for the North, Ad- miral Dahlgren aud General Foster have » large force at their disposal to use wheuever 1 may be Becossary. &e. REBEL ACCOUNTS. Baltimore, Dec. 5.—The Amenioan bas Rich- mond papers of Saturday, but they do not appear to have as late Georgia pews aa that received by steamers from Savannah, except the following from General Bragg, which refers to an engagement subsequent to the capture of P scotoligo Bridge by Gen. Foster's forces, The Richmond papers say : The Yankees who landed at Port Royal, ant Moved jnte the interior with the expectat on of me w Sherman's advance, encountered a body of Confederate troops et a place called Grahame- ville, The enemy were badly beaten, and driven from the grour The telogrem conveying this in- formation does not state the direction in whieh the enemy were ‘driven,’ but we presume thoy wore driveb back towards Beaufort.” LATER The following dispatch haa been received from Gon. Bragg, It in date! yesterday, at Savannsh : “T have just returned irom the front. The enemy was badly whipped, and has retired to the Cooss- watchic. tened, but I do not apprehend any serious attack (Signed) * Braxton Baaca"' (Grabamev |e, where we are reported as having been repulsed by the rebels, isone of the stations on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, It is thirty-four gules northeast of Savannah and seventy miles from Charleston. Our forces, however, are evidently still above Grahameville, holding « posi. tion on the Coosawatchic, Is will be remembered that news already published from Hilton Head says hat Geueral Foster bad captured Pocotalige Pridge, which is further inland than Grahamsville, being forty-nine wiles from Bavanneb and Aity-five from Charleston.) (By Mail) The Richmond papers contain further details of Genera! Sherman's progress, which confirm the de- tails already publisied in the Bun, The Exquieren States : We believe it true that Sherman's army has ached M \len, and separated into two colurons one moving toward Bavannab River, and another turning back toward Augusta, ‘I'he latter column sod movement is without doubt intended as a teint to protect bis rear from attack, It is too late to menace Augusta, and Sherman's main body is too far South, He will do one of two things—either go straight to Beaufort and to Savannah to attack Charleston by land, or be will jon Grant in an at- tack upon Richmond, He has met with very little resistance ju his march through Georgia, The Waia, of Dec, 2, admits that Sherman will reach the Atlantic ip perfect’safety, and adds: We think it probable that Sherman will reagh the Atlaniic in comparative saloty, His next move, in our cpiniom will be by ses to Richmond. We do not believe that nue succeed 'n taking either Augusta or Bavannah. Indeed, should be eucceed in capturing the above named places, it will do him no yen since he will fd there nothing he wae seeking. At the last named he will have to fight, Another point on the railroad is thraa- | and that be (s very well aware of, and dose not wish to do before securing # base upon the sta. Charleston, for the present, at least, we take to be entirely out of the question, Should he determine to secure himeelf on the sea, avd thence iame dur ing the winter to ravage the country or to carry on ® rorular Winter cam; We suppose be can. Lu the meantime, he 8b immense track of coun’ jor, over which it is im: bie that his army, situated on the cosan, closely watched, can exercise any influence for good or evil, We do not see thet Sherman's last exploits will have any effect upon the iasue of the war, The Senrimat gives the following sccount of the called 'Uevastation' of Georgia: Going to McCredel's place, we found his house in ashes end lis gin-house burned, and every he muat be kopt in, as dons in the to horse and mute gone. In his lot were about one hundred horses fying dead : they looked like good stock, and were evidently killed to deprive planters oftbem. Anumber of McCredel's negrose were gone. Proceeding on, we found every plantation on the road sinilarly devastated, except that no other dwe}hng houses were burned until we reached the fine farm of Hon, Joshua Hill, This is a per- fect wreck ; « large gin-house full of cotton, corn cribs, dwelling—a!l a smouldering ruin. His loess ‘was greater than thet of any planter in this sec. tion, Besides the cotton, several thousands buah- cls of corn, potatoes, several hundred of wheat, and much other valuable property, with every horse and mule, and many negroes are gone. No farm on the road to this place, and as far sa Wo can bear towards Atlanta escaped their brutal ravages, They ra the coantry below here to the Oconee river e roads were atrewn with the debris of their progress, Dead horews, cows, eheep, hogs, chickens, corn, wheat, cotton, books, paper, broken veasels, coffee mills, and fragments of nearly every species of property that adorned the beautiful farme of this country, strew the way- sides monuments of the meanness and rapacity of the people who boast that they are not robbers and do not interfere with private property, In Madison they burned the depot and one or two old warehouses, with the jail and market-house, They gutted every store, and plundered more or less on every lot, The fired the drug-store and seve- ral other houses, and their officers, with «show of maguanimity, sided to put outthe flames, A lady on the Eatonton whose father is in the ariiy, feeling afraid to stop at home, went to the louse of » neighbor, ana, on returning, found every plate broken, every kuifo and fork gone, sud her own clothes stripped to sbreds and scattered about the lot, VERY LATFST. Fortress Monroe, Deo, 4 —The prope!lor General Lyon, Captain Ward, from the Savannah river, Thursday, 1st instant, with 143 Union prisoners arrived this evening, A sergeant who was with them reports Sherman's cavalry within six miles of Bavannsh on the 80th of November, Savannah was being fortified as rapidly as possible, Four trains loaded with rebel soldiers had arrived ou the Gulf Ra\lroad, There was'no report of disaa- ter to any portion ofthe Union forces, He says the railroad was cut just after the train be came through to Bsvannab on had passed through, The Savannah Rervpiicax of Nov. 30tb, contains no telegraphic news from any quarter The follow- ing are editorval items on the situation, Another fight is reported between Wheeler and Kilpatrick on Monday, with the usual result, The latter was decently thrashed and driven back in the direction of the Infantry. It ja reliably report- ed thata force of about 1,000 landed yosterday forenoon from the Yankee fleet at Boyd's Lond. ing, on Broad River, in South Carolina, and some eight miles distant Fa. vannah and Charlestou Railroad, A por- tion of this command approached the railroad later in the day, but subsequently re- tired. Woe still beleve Sherman bas vo serious thought of encountering Savannah with his jaded columns but will attempt to make bis way to the coast. Pursusut to a resolution of the General Assembly, Gov, Brown, betore leaving Milledye- vile, made a proposition to the convicts in the Penitentiary, of a ‘don if they would volunteer and prove themselves good soldiers, Nearly all volunteered, It is stated thatthe Georgia Militia has been turned over to the Confederate service.

Cincinnati, Dec. 5 —Major4ieneral Stanley, who was wounded inthe battle of Franklin, arrived here yesterday, He says that the reports of the battle that have reached the public have not been exaggerated, The revels mos with their heaviest losses in attacking our trains, which were of enor- mous size and value and filled the roads for twelve miles, It was not intented that Franklin should be held longer than was wecessary to get our pro. perty outof the way. The rebels had been pres. @mg us very bard from Columbia, and at one time we wero in great danger. Hood Jost his opportu. nity by not attacking in force at @pring Hill, Bohofield's army consisted of the fourth aad Twen- ty-third Corps, together with a few segimenta which had recently entered the service. They left Pulaski on the 28d of November, and wore so closely pressed that at times it was thought the artillery wagon trains would have to be abandoned, but by good management they were all brought through safely, General Stanley bas been in near- ly all the battles in Tennessee and Georgia, but he says that the musketry fre ot Frauklin was for sn hour the most intense he ever witnessed ; be- sides this we had 28 gung in agtion with full aweep of the rebel columna, © Na NEW YORK, A dispatch to the Cosoumott from Nashville says Murfreesboro, Bridgeport and Chattanoogs are safe.
