The regiment of City Light Guards, from Savannah, composed of very young persons, has been stationengton and Warsaw Sound, has had complete success.

The passage was defended, and is still, by a b

Finding that it would not be prudent to attack the city of Savannah with the small force which Gen. Sherman had under his command, he determined to attack Fernandina, Florida, and Brunswick, Georgia. In conjunction with Commodore Du Pont he arranged the expedition, which left Hilton Head on the afternoon of Febun — a one-hundred-and-twenty-eight-pounder — on a sling-cart, and three thirty-two pounders on the wharf. All the guns were spiked. The Fort had originally twenty-seven guns, but when the rebels evacuated it they carried away eighteen guns to Savannah. There were four thirty-two-pounders and one rifled gun in a masked battery near the wharf at Fernandina. The gun-carriages were burned and the guns spiked. There was also a battery on Cumberland Island, but the guns were removed. The rebe

The abandonment of these batteries gives us complete control of Warsaw andwich and sent on board this ship, namely:. His master was Wm. P. Fulton, of Savannah; he left that city on the twenty-second instant, (Saturday,) coming by way of on Wassaw Island, with three thousand troops. All provisions are scarce at Savannah, and very dear, particularly bacon, rum, liquors, and such like. Fresh beef iving-bell, and now talk of piling the river across.

When he an's bluff, and they said that they were mounting guns at the old fort above Fort Jackson, below the gas-house, and near the first ferry wharf; but he knows little ofs sullen and would not answer questions, but he finally came round and told us Savannah was in a bad way, and was short of provisions.

I had indeed accomplished my object, which was to open the inland passage to Darien, and if the Potomska had not been in what I fear a crippled condition, I should have placed her at Doboy, which commands the river outlet, or at Sapelow Island, which commands the entire entrance to the Altamaha and the inland passage to Savannah. Darien has been deserted as was Brunswick; this we learned from some contrabands who came off to us; a company of horsemen only remaining in town, with the intention of firing the place should we approach it. . . . . I have been from one end of St. Simon's Island to the other. But one white man is I saw him. He is with his aged mother and little child. He had never been in the army, refused to leave his house, and was in mortal dread of our coming, as the military had informed him that
