We present to-day, in j .or,; haste than filiall be our cn-iom, the first number of the Savannah Dairy Herald. In this pa; -r is merg-.i The Palmetto 11., a am), which, during the past ten mouths; as a weekly a r, nj r jasper, has at tained a greater circulation, in proportion lo the number of residents of the Depart - JBCir nt, than any other army paper pub lic! ied. We shall nuke tins as we made The Palmetto Herald, a newspaper, lor the publication 01 all such 100 J aud general news as is not contraband. We shall use every effort, and spare no expense, to ob tain all the news of each clay which it is proper to publish. \v r e propose to ex clude politics, as out of our province; but where we can. editorially or in any other way. aid the government of the United States, or encourage its army and navy hi their glorious work, we sh ill do so. We shall, above all, esteem it a duty and a pleasure to promote the interests and contribute to the enjoyment of the noble army which has just added to .its numerous grand achievements an ex ploit which is uon-rivalled in history, and has excited the admira l m of the world. T lit* present size of the Herald, neces sarilv adapted to the shape of the print lug psper we have on hand, may prove too email ; and in that ease we shall soon enlarge; it ;4>ut we believe a small paper, weh printed, and well lihed, will prove inoie acr. ptabie than a large sheet, lack ing those recommendations. ’ Our arrangements arc com pick for cor respondence, by I?ve ry opportunity, front 3New jtork, If o st-on, Chicago, St. Louis, and other northern cities, from all,point of t.lii- army, and frotn each post oi the t)ep:irtmuit of tie* South. 1m; Savannah Daii.v lli:Ru.i> lias been established oil the ruins oi the old Savannah News a fir—eating sheet, with a worm-eaten office, to fully ronovate which will he the work of suue time yet.

Scarcely a week had elapsed after the city Mas in our possession, be fore Mr. A. A. Dice, sue Agent, had his banners out and his office thronged with soldiers eager to send money home to their relations and friends. Biuce then the office has been doing a. tremendous business. It lias received and sent to New York Pearly a million dollars in money, besides a large number of freight pack- ages. “o . The clerks* are experienced ‘and com petent. anu the office works ns.smoothly as the best in the land. Mr. A. A. Rice is the General Agent and Mr. E. P. Tunnison, Cashier. A large number of packages are now daily expected from the north, consisting of the freight sent to the "west and re turned in consequence of the movement of the army.

Captain John L Iveily, A. Q. M., who for a time had charge of marine trans portation here, lias gone home on a leave of absence, rendered necessary by the im paired state of bis health. Yankee Invention.—Some time since there were lying near the side walk in a town not far distant, a lot of pipes that had been taken from a whiskey »tiU, whichtthe United States army’s advance had caused to move to another point pre sumed to be of more safety. A by-stan der was interrogated as to what sort of a machine that was. He replied, that it was “a machine for grinding smoke.” “Well,'' was the rejoinder ot the rebel soldier, “sposo its a Yankee vent-ion, bn; l‘d like to see it in operation."

The most cut rnrising dealers'are always the most profitable to purchase from, and Mr. Camp is both enterpri sing and honorable. Musses. C.

Alarm of Fire. —The alarm of fire yes terday morning at eight o'clock, was caused by the burning of their cabins in one of the public squares, by some sol diers who were changing their camp. We suggest that unless such destruction of quarters is ordered for military purposes, it would be generous for soldiers remov ing to leave their cabins intact, as the city is now permanently in our posses sion and the lumber is not only valuable, but in burning, endangers other proper ty.
