Not a few in Savannah have remained idle spectators of the struggle now going on, in which they have more involved even than those noble ones who have stepped forward to battle for their country's cause. The city and the county of Chatham has, nevertheless, done its duty nobly; she has now in the field a full proportion of her population, and those who remain are the weak in spirit and in courage, the infirm, the wealthy, and those who have been employed in work as necessary to the prosecution of the war as the stout arm that wields the sword. Since the draft these establishments have been so severely crippled in their resources that the proprietors have seriously contemplated the arrest of any work towards the completion o

Savannah (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 6
From Savannah. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Savannah, Ga., March 7, 1862. I gave an account in my last letter of the draft ordered by the Governor, to supply deficiencies in the requisition made by the Confederate Government for twelve regiments. The draft was duty effected, and it has caused universal indignation, especially among the unfortunate subjects of military or rather militia rigger. It has not apparently been administered with the impartiality which should accompany so grave a retrenchment of the ordinary civil rights of a citizen, and this has given just complaint to many. Savannah is not the only city which can lay claim to she preeminent honor of having stood a draft, and this unenviable distinction has originated solely from the numbers who feel so wrapped up in self, or involved in the intricacies of trade, or wedded to luxurious case, so to shirk the performance of the duty which their country demands of them.

One of our steamers (the Leesburg) ran aground between Skidaway and the main land, some days since, and has since remained in that position. The accident occurred from the breaking of a rudder iron. To-day the "reliable gentleman" reported its capture by the Yankees, but it turns out to be umbers. We presume she will not remain long in her present position.

Fernandina has been occupied by the Yankees, not a gun being shot before our forced abandoned the post, leaving twenty-six guns in their possession. The acquisition is one of little value, save the guns captured, the country in the vicinity being poor, sparsely populated, and armors destitute of means of living, save the cattle ranging the country at large.

The siege of Savannah, conducted on the part of the Americans by G. n. Lincoln and Count D' Estaing, was a proof of how much energy and skill might effect. The British force, inferior in number, with a naturally weak position, especially in the centre, history tells us, rendered the works almost impregnable by assault, by diligent and unremitting labor, and compelled the American forces to retire from the siege. Such was the position in 1779. The situation is not materially different now; the besieged then were without a navy, as we are to-day, and D' Estaing's fleet were then lying in St. Augustine Creek, at Thunderbolt, nearly in the same place as that which the Yankees ventured in approach but two months since; we have, then, every reason to feel confident of the result of the present attempt of the foe to possess himself

overnment. The gunboats are in the same predicament, not from mechanics now being employed on a work which General Lee a week since characterized as a very important and necessary means of defence. From this state of affairs apparently no redress can be obtained, the Confederate General commanding has no authority in the matter and General Jackson equally is incompetent to discharge from the service those drafted. Since the departure of General Lee, the command has devolved upon General Pemberton, of whose energy and officer-like qualities I have already informed you. His stay in Savannah has been well received by the citizens generally, and wherever he has been known he is accepted as a worthy successor of Gen. Lee, Before leaving, the General completed, with his staff, the reconnaissance of the lines of defence which extend from the Savannah river north of the city towards the Louisville road, thus finishing the circuit of earth works extending from river to river.
