Affairs on the coast. movements of the invaders — how they get their information — Jacksonville — our Sharp. Shooters at work — the policy of firing cities--Gen. Sidney Johnson, &c. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Savannah, Ga., March 14 The news from Norfolk and the West has quite diverted our attention from the enemy hereabouts. We have little worth recording, if we except some further attempts of the Yankees to penetrate towards our outposts, with a view to reconnoitre doubtless.--The last attempt has resulted rather unfavorably for them, thought they returned the fire of our pickets without inflicting any injury whatever. The late desultory movements in our neighborhood indicate an impatience on the part of the invaders which will cause us, no doubt, considerable trouble from predatory incursions. Their fleet has dispersed along the coasts of Georgia and Florida, and now are in the St. Johns river, and doubtless in possession of Jacksonvill

isherman was the medium of communication; and that these means exist everywhere, even in our midst, cannot well be doubted. The lesson which the people of Jacksonville had learned, and which they carried into effect, will keep the emissaries of Lincoln in wholesome terror of a like visitation. I have learned that three thousand of the enemy now hold the town, and no doubt will harass the few remaining citizens as long as they are permitted to stay. They are on the main at present, and Gen. TWalker had said he would apply to the city in a similar emergency — to fight it with water. The question has been discussed seriously here to fire the city in preference to leaving it an asylum to the legions of blood thirsty vagabonds that Lincoln has sent to subdue us. Many have entered seriously into the question but none, I venture to predict, that have aught to lose in the general destruction. If any advantage could accrue to us by the destruction, or positive injury to the Yankee, i

; he could make many new supporters of his Administration; he could take advantage of the present ardor of the South, and change the whole aspect in the West by taking the field in person. I believe such a movement would be of incalculable service to the country, and around his banner thousands would flock who have not yet been called to the field. Nothing of any especial importance has occurred on our river. Yesterday Commodore Tatnall went down in the Savannah, and, I understand, Gen. Lawton, also, to reconnoitre. They were saluted with about one hundred and fifty shot — in fact, during the entire morning the booming of great guns were heard from all parts of the city. The enemy have now very formidable works on the river; not only by reason of the number of their guns, but of their range. Seventeen guns have been mounted in batteries, and the passage of the river is an impossibility for any other than an iron clad battery. The success of the Merrimack, or rather Virg

The loss of McCulloch and McIntosh is greatly deplored.--McIntosh — a name familiar to Georgians — is well known here, and his worth appreciated.

I have learned that three thousand of the enemy now hold the town, and no doubt will harass the few remaining citizens as long as they are permitted to stay. They are on the main at present, and Gen. Trapier has an opportunity to redeem his honor and teach the foe a useful lesson. He has called upon the Governor for twenty-five hundred men, and, with the force he has at present available, will be able to cope with the Yankees. They have not progressed as far as Jacksonville without encountering serious opposition and loss. No batteries were there to detain them; but the brave riflemen, who are accustomed to the chase in the woods and everglades of the flowery State, did not permit them to

late desultory movements in our neighborhood indicate an impatience on the part of the invaders which will cause us, no doubt, considerable trouble from predatory incursions. Their fleet has dispersed along the coasts of Georgia and Florida, and now are in the St. Johns river, and doubtless in possession of Jacksonville. In my last letter I expressed the fear that they would ascend the river and succeed in destroying the foundry located there, and the Confederate gunboat being built by Mooney under contract with the Government. It has been reported here by passengers over the road from Florida that the town of Jacksonville has been the scene of intense agitation on account of the near approach of the Yankee fleet. Besides destroying the foundry and gunboat already alluded to, the citizens appear to have dealt summarily with some Yankees doing business there who attempted to make their way to the enemy; the punishment, though sudden, is not undeserved. There are some dwellers a

I have understood that the expressed his determination to fight the fire which General Walker had said he would apply to the city in a similar emergency — to fight it with water. The question has been discussed seriously here to fire the city in preference to leaving it an asylum to the legions of blood thirsty vagabonds that Linantage, then could result from the destruction of the city? None whatever, and the citizens of Savannah will be the first to defend their homes from wanton, ruthless destruction, from whatsoever source it may come. This has been ascribed to General Walker frequently, but I am not aware that the General ever expressed any such opinion. The discussion in Congress relative to the removal of Sidney Johnson from the command in Tennessee, does not find favor here, thought the President may succ
