A dispatch from Major-General Jones, received last evening, reports all quiet at Coosawatchie and Pocotaligo. "Of Sherman's movements we hear plenty of rumors. Our latest and most reliable intelligence states that he is moving cautiously towards the coast, below Savannah, probably for Genesis Point. Fighting was reported on Saturday at Monteith, about ten miles from Savannah. The Savannah railroad was reported torn up from the former point to the junction of the Central and Savannah railroad.
