Saturday Evening. W# understand, gayn the Chronicle Senti nel, that Sherman has given the citizens of ! Savannah fifteen daye grace to settle up their bank and other accounts, which are to be bal anced by Confederate Treasury notes. If this report ig true, there will be but a few -open accounts in Savannah after the fifteen days of grace expires. Everybody and everybody’s relations will be eager to square up at once. I From the same paper, we learn that Kilpat rick, at last accounts, was in Thomas county, I in this State, with a large force of cavalry, de vastating and laying waste as he advanced.— It is thought that he intends to lay waste to all Southwestern Georgia, and then to go in ! to Alabama. Where is Wheeler, with his cavalry, that they are not in pursuit of him ? —» From Sataknah.— A gentleman arrived in our city Saturday, says the Chronicle and Sentinel, who left Savannah on Wednesday. Everything was quiet up to that time. Gen. Slocum marched in on Wednesday morn ing at the head of about three hundred men, and posted guards around to protect the property. No outrages had been committed. It is thought that Gen. Sherman will not permit his army to gc into the city. It is said that Sherman intends to request all residents to take the oath of allegiance. Those who do so, will be allowed to remain, and their properly will be respected. Those who refuse to do so will be compelled to leave, and their prop erty will ;be confiscated. It was thought by some that the rice and cotton would be taken possession of in the name of the United States Government, and receipts given therefor. FURTHgR FROM SAVANNAH. We have aet, as yet, received any detailed ac- I count of the evacuation es Savannah. On Sun« ! day Sherman sent in a formal demand for the surrender of the city. This was refused; and forty-eight hours were demanded to allow the non combatants an opportunity to leave the place.— During Sunday night, Monday night and Tues day night, our forces quietly abandoned the city, bringing off all their wagens and field artillery, destroying many of the Central Railroad and also aU the previsions and forage between Harderille and Savannah. All is quiet this side of Harderille, our forces being advantageously dispesed along the line of railroad.— Chat. Her eury, 23 and. Rumors. —The Selma Mississippian, 28th, says: The city is rife with rumors, some of them so ab surd that they are not worthy of mention. Thejre is 1 a report that Hood has had two engagements with ; Thomas, in which he repulsed him each time, and ! that Forrest had succeeded in capturing Murfrees- I boro with the garrison. This report rises to the I dignity of probability, but we have nothing which i would cause us to give it full credit. Raid on thk Mobilr and Ohio R*ii.road.—We are credibly informed (says the Selma Mississippi, 28th) that a raid of two thousand Yankees moved oqßfrem Memphis and struck tho Mobile and Ohie railroad near Verona on Saturday last. We are not advised as to the extent of the damage done, but presume it is very slight. Gen. Breckinridge has issued a proclamation which declares that all inhabitants of East Tennessee who are serving in the Armies of the United States, and who before the Ist January, 1865, shall leave said service, with the purpose of leading a peaceful and orderly life, shall receive the protection cf the Con federate authorities, and shall not be taken for military service, nor as hostages for those who may be seized by the United States authorities, unless they shall thereafter be guilty of acts of hostility to the Confederate Government. From tho provisions of this proclamation deserters from the ate army (after being mustered in,) and these guilty of murder and other high crimes, are excluded. From ths Front. —lt is reported that Sherman has sent a force frem his army around to the as sistance of Foster’s troops on the 6'oosawhatcbie. The enemy’s batteries in that quarter have in creased, as evidenced by the continuous shelling of the railroad, doing, however, very little damage, j Our cavalry continue to scour the country around I Ilardeeville. In other respect* affairs* in that i quarter are unchanged. ; A gentleman who left Savannah, Thursday night, states that Sherman had sent about three regiments into the city as a guard. The remain der of his army is encamped outside the city.— Sherman, it was stated, had offered the Mayor every assistance in presarving order, and had sta tioned guards for the protection of private houses, stores, and public buildings. So far as our infor mant had observed, citizens were unmolested, and private property respected. Our informant states that Sherma* demanded the surrender of the city of Savannah uncondi tionally, stating that if complied with favorable terms would be shown to the garrison, but if not that he would proceed to take it either by assault, investment, or tho more sure process of starvation ■ and, if taken in that manner, no quarter would be given to the garrison, nor would be be responsible for the conduct of his troop*. He afterwards sent a copy of General Hood’s demand for the surrender of Dalton. ; Sherman’s Impector General, who was bearer of the flag of truce with this, informed one of oar officers, Captain Macbeth, that Sherman came very near being killed a day or tw® previously by a fragment of shell from our side. His body "ser vant was killed, and Sherman barely escaped by dodging behind a rock.— Constitutionalist, 28 th. From a gentleman who visited Savannah last Sunday under flag of truce, we learn that everything is perfectly quiet in the city, and that a number of steamboats swarmed in the river, something like old times. Private property has been respected, and that nothing ha3 been burnt in the city except Mr. Wilkins’ Ship Yard and Mr. Roberts’ 1 Mills. General Sherman’s Headquarters are at the residence of Mr. Charles Green ; General Slocum's at John E. Ward’s ; Gen. Howard’s at Mr. Mulyneux s, and General Ward’s at Mr. Wetters’. The city is to be garrisoned with negro troops under the cemmand of Gen. Foster. General Sherman has. by an order, refused ’O receive any more flags of truce from subor . dinate officers, and says if his boats running on the river are fired into, he will force every citizen in the city to leave it immediately. [Constitutionalist , 28/A. Pbrsonal.—We had the pleasure of meeting : yesterday afternoon, Capt. Haggerty, a member of Gen. Hood’s military famity, who is en route from the army of Tennessee to Richmond. Capt. H. left the army in the immediate front of the defen ces of Nashville, on the 12th iast., but it was ex pee ted it would fall back the next day to a point where the necessary supply of fuel could be ob tained. Provisions were abundant. The reports given by Capt. H., reference to the battle of Franklin, and the situation of the army when he 1 left it, no not differ materially from those previ ously leceivtd through Southern sources. [ Appeal, 30 th. A late Cincinnati Commercial says : Oat of a lot of three hundred recruits who left Tod bar racks, Columbus, under a strong guard, day be fore yesterday, on their way to Nashville, ninety seven managed to desert on the way from Colum bus to this point. /FITE DOLLARS l PER MONTH. Northern News. A Nashville dispatch dated the 4th, says the most splendid exhibition of the war, in this section, may be witnessed fro* Capitol Hill. The entire Federal lines of battle, almost from I right to left, may be plainly seen with the na ked eye. Over fifty thousand troops occupy , our lines, which is just five miles. A. J. | Smith’s corps ia on the right, resting on the river, on low ground, on what is known as the John Harding pike—a branch road of the Charlotte pike. What is known as the right I wing extends east to within a hundred yards !of the Franklin pike. Then comes the 4th corps, temporarily commanded by General Thomas J. Wood, in place of General Stanley, who was wounded at Franklin. Gen. Wood’s headquarters, at the widow Aeklin’s, on the Grannywhite road. Our line of battle jnst escapes the exquisite grounds of this lady, al though all of her negro huts, walls and senses have been torn down for breastworks. The centre extends east to beyond the Murfreesbo ro pike ; then comes the left—the 23d corps— under Gen. Schofield—which extends to the river. Gen. Stodman, with his command from Chattanooga, filling in, and in reserve, upon a high bank of the river, a few hundred yards south of tha reservoir. Our extrema left rests upon a bank seventy-six feet above high-water mark. The rebel line cf battle is plainly visible about two miles from town. It is believed that Dick Taylor’s forces, numbering nearly ten thousand strong, are in reserve, and it may be that this corps is operating near Mur freesboro. General Frank Cheatham is commanding the enemy’s right wing. He has three divis ions—Generals George Maney’s, Bate’s and Anderson’s. THS PANIC AT LOCISVILL*. A dispatch from Louisville of the 11th says: There is great excitement here to-day, pros pects of another panic. All sorts of rumors are afloat about Hood, Forrest and guerrillas generally. Many apprehend we are to have a Forrest raid at least as sweeping as “Old Pap Price’s” in Missouri. If Forrest is in Kentucky, he may not leave till he does a grant, deal of damage, and gathers up a great deal of plunder. Fears are expressed for the public property, even about the falls of the Ohio. We have plenty of earthworks, but hardly ready for use. There seems to be a lack of energy, vi gilance and wise precaution. The rebels are ever and everywhere active on the alert. Every horss in town is being impressed.— Every available four-legged beast, whether in or out of harness, wherever found, is nabbed. I shouldn’t be surprised if all of us two leg ged animals also are impressed and put in the trenches within a week. A telegram from Cairo to the Saint Louis Republican says that Beauregard is marching cn Fort Pillow with siege guns. Osceola has been occupied by the Confederates. Tne tel egram gives the following about another slaughter of innocent “colored troops” who had*been sent out merely to kill a few ‘rebels : Abant twenty-five rebels appeared on the river banks apposite Memphis, waved their hats and hurrahed for Jeff. Davis. A force of about one hundred &Dd fifty ne grees was sent on board a steamer ab*ut a mile lower down the river and landed. When they filed out on shore, the rebels broke and ra» apparently in the greatest consternation, hotly pursued by the negroes till they came to a thick bush place, where the tebels had a large force secreted, who suddenly rose and fired on the negroes, when they fled in the greatest consternation, the rebels hotly pur suing and slaughtering them at a dreadful rate. Eseape of Confederate Officers. Captain Henry B. Claj, of General Morgan's staff, captured with other Confederate officers in the surprise of Gen. Morgan at Greenville, Tenn., reached Richmond on Sunday. He re ports that himself and five other captured officers escaped from a train on the Chatta nooga railroad on the 19th of October, at a point known as Florence depot, between Mur freesboro’ and Nashville. The officers who jumped off with him were Captain C. A. With ers, Adjutant General of staff; Captain James Rogers; Captain Huwald. of Huwald’s batte ry ; Major Dun, of the 39th Mississippi, and Lieut. Mosby, Engineer on Gen. French’s staff. They lay hid in the woods for some time, oc casionally showing themselves to well known Southern residents whom they can trust, and by whom they were most hospitably treated. Captain Clay, in his wandering before he struck tha Confederate lines, visited Wilson, Rutherford and Davidsou counties, in Middle Tennessee. The people appeared to be anx iously awaiting a Confederate advance into that section, and knowing ones asserted that we could at once obtain from three to five thousand recruits from these three counties alone. Our informant, while making his ob servations, saw two corps ot Hood’s army pass through Florence. The men were well clothed, well Bhod, and there was an abundance of blankets among them. The troops were with al in the most exuberant spirits. Capt. Clay went within fifteen miles of Nashville in No vember, and left on the 15th of that month in his peregrinations towards the Confederacy. The officers who escaped with him are sup posed to have reached the security of Confed erate lines, but as they separated and trav elled in squads of twos, Captain Clay could not speak with certainty on this peint. He is a grandson of the late Hon. Henry Clay, of Kentucuy, and shews in the accomplishment of what he undertakes all the energy and will of his illustrious grandfather. —Richmond Ex aminer. tm • 1 Bcantifnl Scene. ay jxke t. h, cross, It was a bright, warm, Sabbath morning—several parse ns, perhaps a dozen, were collected in a large upper room. To the right of the fireplace hung a beautiful picture—intermingled land and water. — The eye involuntarily wandered to this painting ever pleased and never satisfied, seeking to look farther through the green trees. Yes, it was beauti ful, but that is not the beautiful thiDg of which I am going to tell you. It is another picture, a living one in the room. I have said there were some dozen persons collec ted there. In this midst was a little table, with a communion service upon it, and be ide the table sat a reverend, white haired man. His face thought ful and kind and gentle and firm. In; his manner he was simple as a child; and perhaps you would not think, my little friend, that he knew more about birds and flower* than all the little girls and boys in the Confederacy put together; aye he knew moie tkan a great many grown people put together, and it ought to make us ashamed to see one man who has learned so much in a lifetime, when we know so little. The old gentleman was a minister, and most of those around him were of bis flock, lie opened the bible and read. They sang a hym : and then he talked to them ns you may suppose the Aposde John to have talked to his children in the gospe . He said: “I have been your, minis :er in Charles ton for fifty years. I have buried your grandfathers and grandmothers— l have married your parents— I have baptized you and received you into the Church—l have been with you in your joys, and in your sorrows, and in the fifty years of my ministry there has not been a d'ssention nor an unpleasant feeling We have been scattered. Wehaveallhad our You have had deaths in your famifie*. and I have lately lost one dearer to me than all tka world besides; but let us look to higher^hings.” In concluding his remarks, he said : If any of you are sick or in sorrow, and wisli to see me, do not hesitate to send for me. I will always come any distance with The expense is but little ; the trouble nothing I have nothing now to do bat to serve my onuntry by laboring among her soldiery and to visit my scattered Congregation, to who* l am bound by such tender associations.” Was that no beautiful? I was not one of tbi* congregation, but I felt the deep pathos of the scene, and with true Christian sympathy could I draw near to the table u” 1 join with them in commemorating that love in death, which produces such charmiag fruits in the followers of our Lord. Do you wish to know the name of this man wb*M gray hairs shine like a diadem about his brow? I have told yon that he w.u from Charleston, aad I need scarcely wriia the name of “Bachman.” I wender if any little bey is now wishing that when hiscurly brown locks turn gray he may wss them with the same dignity, and that when he ap proaches the close of life as many affectionate ejtm shall be turned upon him. Honor and virtue do a«>t come for the mere beckoning- We must work for them, and they are worth it. it is worth a lifetime of pain to be able, at last, to reach one hand kindly back in farewell to the world, while the other hi stretched forward to grasp tho crown tha* is glit tering before us. — Children't Guide. Revolutionary Extracts. Petersburg, Dec., 1864. Editor Richmond Sentinel: I send you some short extracts from letlerg written to General Washington during the Revolutionary war, and which are to be fonnd in Speras' “Correspondence of the American Revolution.” They are interesting as bearing upon the events of the present war. C. C. Gov. Livingston, of New Jersey, writes in Feb ruary, 1778: “1 am so discouraged by our public mis management and the additional load of bus iness thrown upon me by the villainy of those who pursue nothing but accumulating for tunes to the ruin of their country, that I al most sink under it.” THOMAS WHARTON, JR. “The unparalleled patience and magnani nimity with which the army, under your li cellency’B command, have endured the hard ships attending their situation, unsupplied a* they have been, through an uncommonly se vere winter, is an honor which posterity will consider as more illustrious than could have been derived to them by a victory obtained by any sudden and vigorous exertion.” HENRY LAURENS. “There is a certain versatility habitual, if not almost constitutional, in men born South of thirty-eight degrees of latitude in those States.” Major General Greene, at Boston, September, 1778. ‘‘The growing extravagance of the people and the increasing demand for the article of forage, in this quarter, have become a very alarming affair. Hay is from sixty to eighty dollars a ton and upon the rise. Corn is ten dollars a bushel and oats four, and everything else that will answer for forage in that pro portion. Carting is nine shillings a mile, by the ton, and people much dissatisfied with the price.” Henry Laurens, President of Congress Novem ber, 1778. “Where is virlue, where is patriotism now ; when almost every man has turned hi* thoughts and attention to gain and pleasures, practicing every artifice of change alley or Jonathans; when men of abilities disgrace fully neglect the important duties for which they were sent to Congress, tempted by tho pitiful fees of practising attorneys; when members of that body artfully starts point, succeed, and then avail themselves of the sea crets of the House, and commence monopoli zing and accumulate the public debt,for their private emoluments ?” Maj. General Lincoln, Charleston, (S. C.) No vember, 1779. “The House of Assembly refused, on the recommendation of Congress, to raise any black corps.” [lt would appear from this that Congress recommended this measure to the States, or at least to South Carolina.] “Fort Moultrie, on Sullivan’s Island, six miles from the town, supposed to be th* key of the harbor, is in a very decayed state, and without a ditch, pickets or abatis to it. The repairs of that also are delayed from the same cause. [The want of negro laborers.] Two floating batteries have been recommended to cover the bar. and they would undoubtedly answer the most valuable purpose as no heavy ships can come over it unless they take omt their guns, or they are so much carened a* they cannot work them. These also, thoogta indispensably necessary to the safety of the harbor, are unprovided.” Gen. Greer.e, We3t Point, Nor., 17 79. “I have no doubt but that every State bor dering upon the enemy will apply for a proper force to protect them against their ravages. To comply with these commands, will hazard the safety of the whole army. Divide yonr force and you will fall a prey in every qsar ter; and I am persuaded, were you to adopt the plan, it would be so far from affording them that protection and security, which they promise themselves, that it would become one of the principal causes of the enemy’s making inroads, and committing depredations upon them.” Improvement t* the Flac.— We have before h* an engraved copy of the “proposed Confederate flag,” provided for by the bill introduced iDt* th* Senate on yesterday, by Senator Semme*. It differs from the flag as now existing, chiefly in having a bar es red at the edge of the flag. Th* effect is to relievo the flag of its excess of whit*, and impart to it more warmth and richness of *x pressio*. The proposed model is th* design of an officer in th* army, and is highly approved by many officers of taste and position, whose letter* we hav* seen. It is particularly commended by naval officers, whose judgment in such matter* i* always considered entitled to peculiar considera tion.—Richmond Sentinel. NOTICE !
