The Daily Dispatch: January 4, 1865., [Electronic resource], The evacuation of Savannah — the Latest statements from Southern sources. (search)
ew miles below the Gulf railroad. We also had strong batteries at Rose Dew, between the two Ogeechees, at Beaulieu, Thunderbolt, Causlin's Bluff, etc., and troops stationed on Isle of Hope and Whitmarsh islands. Our newly-erected fortifications on the land side of the city were very strong and capable of turning back almost any kind of assault, though they were not commenced till after Sherman had nearly reached Milledgeville. Sherman's army appeared before these works about the 8th or 9th instant, and on Saturday, the 10th, considerable fighting occurred. --Several severe assaults were made, in which the enemy were signally repulsed. Early on Sunday morning, the 11th, a tremendous cannonading began and was kept up for half the day. It was supposed in the city that a heavy engagement was going on, but it proved to be only a general shelling from the heavy guns on our lines. Sherman was in no condition to attack our works. He was scarce of ammunition and had no heavy guns, as wel
We have received a copy of the New York Tribune of Monday, the 9th instant. The news is unimportant. The pursuit of Hood. The pursuit of Hood, it appears, was given up because the Yankee pontoons did not come up in time to cross Duck river. The truth of the matter is, that Forrest was on the other side of the river, and pontoons would not have done any good. A letter in the Tribune says: I believe it was not the policy of Thomas to drive the enemy rapidly before him, but rather allow Steadman's flanking column sufficient time to move round by way of Huntsville and Decatur, and arrive at the proper place in time to cut off Hood's retreat. But that General, by some strange foresight, anticipated such a movement, and redoubled his exertions to free himself from the dangers which were closing around him. After crossing Duck river, the troops moved forward to Pulaski, our cavalry meeting Forrest's forces a few miles this side of that town, strongly posted and

That thereupon the Northern and Southern people shall pledge themselves to a hearty support of measures, peaceable or forcible, for the acquisition of Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and the freedom of Ireland. Invasion by the Indians. A telegram from Julesburg, Colorado territory, dated the 9th instant, gives an account of an Indian invasion, upon "loyal" settlers: On Saturday morning, sixty Indians attacked the overland mail express, about three miles east of this place, and robbed the mail. They also attacked a mule train close by, killing one man and wounding another. The troops at the military post here, numbering fifty to eighty men, immediately started to the relief of the white settlers in the vicinity, and drove the Indians to the bluffs a mile back, where the Indians

Magenta, from New Orleans, brings the announcement of the arrival of the steamship Morning Star, with General Thomas W. Sherman and staff. The gunboat Rattler drifted ashore in a late storm, between Vicksburg and Natchez, and was fired by a gang of guerrillas and burned to the water's edge. A letter from Mobile to a citizen of New Orleans says that fighting was going on in that vicinity on the 31st ultimo. The rebels were burning cotton a short distance from Natchez on the 9th ultimo. Attack on the Yankee picket line on the South side. A dispatch from the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, on the 19th, says: The rebels made another attack on the picket line this morning, just before daylight, and captured a few videttes on the right of the Second division of the Sixth corps. The morning was very dark, and the attacking party approached cautiously behind an old abattis until they were almost at our line ere the pickets were aware of their comi
fe of Senator Foote was looked to by the speculators in peace as a good mine of news to be worked, instantly that she was under Chadwick's roof. But the lady was weary and depressed, and needed perhaps extensive shopping before she received friends. --To-morrow the hand of a new peace-maker will fall heavily as Jeff. Davis's obstinacy. [This "new peace-maker" was, doubtless, the attack on Fort Fisher of Sunday night.] Yankee News from Savannah. The Arago, from Port Royal on the 9th, has arrived at New York, and furnished the Yankee papers with a batch of Yankee news from Savannah. The Fifteenth corps was reviewed by Sherman in the streets of Savannah on the 7th. Several "gentlemen, representing large capital at the North,"have arrived in Savannah to open a branch National Bank. A soldier who attended Christ Church (Episcopal) writes to the Republican that a very important part of the church service was omitted, viz: The prayer for the President of the Uni
