the situation.
The capture of Savannah maybe con
sidered certain. Bhebman is already in
communication with tliefleet, and the cap
tore of Fort McAllister opens the Ogeechee
river. The comment of the rebel papers
indicates the importance of this position,
and also thd ease with, which it was cap
tured. We have another report to-day, by
a steamer from Charleston, that Savannah
has already fallen ; but there is no reason
to pay much attention to rumors when we
are in daily expectation of definite news of
its redaction? • • • .
The possession of this city will be of
immense advantage to our arms. Shbr
man establishes a. new base in the rear of
the rebel forces, from which he will
threaten aH-their southern communica
tions. From Savannah he can advance
upon Charleston; add, with the aid of the
fleet take it without- great trouble. His
movements from this base will interfere
directly with Lkb, and it is plainer now
than it has ever been that Grant has not
delayed his attack upon Richmond because
of the difficulty of success, but in order to
await the results of Sherman’s co-ope
rating movements. We repeat that the
scope of this campaign is far greater than
any others of,the war, and that Generai
Grant does not aim merely at brilliant and
decisive victories— though since he has
been‘in command of our armies we have
had many of them—but is forking for the
complete and permanent overthrow of the
rebellion. t
The soundness of Sherman’s great march
is confirmed by the result of Hood’s ad
vance on Nashville. - Prompt advantage
was taken of his temerity, and though it
appears that huge forces were left to guard
kiß lines, two expeditions, were sent out
from Vicksburg, and Baton Rouge to cut
his communications, and both were sue-,
cessful. That from Vicksburg has severed
him from Mobile and Jackson entirely, and
made the Mississippi Railroad useless for
months. In the meanwhile, with all these
dangers in his rear, Hood 'is severely
pressed by Thomas, who, in accordance with
that masterly policy which has governed the
whole movement, which begun with the
division of the army at Atlanta, delayed a
battle till Sherman was beyond the reach
of pursuit, and '-Hood’s communications
cut. The greatness of the victory won
before Nashville is confirmed by the de
spatches we print to-day, which show that
it is no longer Thomas but Hood that is on
the defensive, and that the rebel problem
is not how to take Nashville, bat how to
get away from it.
-The House of Representatives has
passed the new Bankrupt act/and all that
remains to make it efficient is its passage
by the Senate. Thiß act is of the highest
importance to our commercial interests,
and its legislation at this moment is im
portant and welcome.

Xbe Explosion at Dupeot's Powder Mills.
INCIDENTS. KAMI! 13 OP TH* KILLED, WOUNDED, ETC.
[Special Despatch to The Press. 1
Wilmikgtok, Del,, Doe 18.—I have endeavored
to gather the full details of the explosion at Du*
pont’s powder mills yesterday. It seems that there
were several explosions, of which the first was the
heaviest, and was probably the one whleh was
heard, and created so muoh alarm, in your city.
It occurred In the Hagley yard, about 10>f A. 51.,
When all the men were In the yard and at work. It
is hard to tell where the grand destruction com
menced, or whaVwas Its cause, but It Is supposed to
have begun In the press-room. The explosion com-,
munlcated itself to three of the mills engaged In
making Government powder, tearing them to atoms
and scattering their ruins far and wide. Other
buildings were very much injured—some of them
so muoh BO as to make them useless. It maybe cited,
as an evidence of the terrible force of 'the explosion,
that great heavy beams were lifted up like rushes
Into the air, whirled distances; sometimes, of over
800 feet, and Imbedded to deep In the ground,
frozen hard as flint, as to stand firmly on end.
Great hollows were scooped In the ground by the
mere concession, seemingly, and timbers scattered
in profusion over the fields around. Not a vestige
■of some ol the exploded mills remained, Save the
foundation walls and scarred earth. The heat
generated by the sudden ignition of such a large
quantity of powder was so sudden and so intense
as to ehar great trees In a twinkling—the moist
green bark burning as readily as tinder, but
■ceasing to bum when the last ramble of the
roar of - the explosion had died away. The
windows in the ■ surrounding country were, of
course, damaged mueh. In Christ Church (Epis
copal), every pane was crumbled, and In the
house of Mrs. Alexis Dupont, whleh is situated
one hundred ana fifty feet from the scene of disas
ter, the glass was shattered so violently that some
-of the family were cut by the flying fragments, The
house was shaken from roof to foundation and se
riously damaged. Immediately after the explosion,
and when the excitement had spent Itself, the
yard was closed'and no admittance granted to the
numerous persons who were ateractedfrom thls
clty and the country around to curiously view the
havoc. As usual, there is a sad catalogue of deaths
to; write along with the exhibit of damages to
property, which are Insignificant in, compa
rison. There were ten men killed. I have not
seen aay of them, hut I hear that some are torn to
pieces, and only eharred and bleeding fragments
remain, sickening and unrecognizable. They were
■named] John Dougherty, Edward O’Donnell, bhas.
O’Neal, Michael Hazzell, Dennis Collins, Cornelius
Carr, Patrick Deary, Thomas Hennesy, Michael
Deary, Thomas Gill. No others weremuchlnjured
As the risk of explosion Is always taken Into ac
count In powder manufactories, the buildings are
never made either ornamental or valuable. They
are usually frame structures, oheaply built, and
-easily replaced when blown to pieees. The loss is
therefore not great, financially; It Is only great,
and properly so, in the death that attends It. I
believe, however, that the men, who go Into the
works with the probability of sudden death always
in view, and thus show a great moral courage, are
very well remunerated for their labor, and their
families, in case of their death by accident, are pro
vided for by the Messrs. Dupont. The provision Is
said to be ample to those in need. J. O. W.

SHERMAN.
WASHINGTON, 800. 18,1864—5.15 P. M,
Official despatches from General Canby have been
received to-day, showing the complete success of an
expedition sent by him from Vicksbnrgto co-operate
with General Sherman’s operations and out Hood’s
communications with Mobile. General Canby also
reports the probable suoooss of another expedition
from Baton Rouge, under command of General Da
vidson, the .details and objects of which it is not
proper now to disclose. When last heard from,
Davidson was reported as haring caused quite a
panic In Mobile, and devastating the country gene
rally.
Lieut, col. Ear], commanding a special party,
was severely wounded and fell into the hands of 'the
enemy at Fayette, Mississippi.
The Richmond papers of to-day confirm the re
ported capture of Bristol, an expedition
supposed to be under the command of Generals
Stoneman ana Burbridge, also the surprise and
capture of the Slade Spring depot on the railroad
thirteen miles south of Abingdon, Ya. They also
contain General Hood’s official report of the battle
of Franklin,'in which he acknowledges the loss of
many gallant officers and brave men, among whom
he enumerates Major General Claiborne, Brigadier
Generals John Williams, Adams, Geist, Sfcrahl, and
Branberry hilled, and Major General-John Brown
ana Brigadier Generals S. Carter, Manlgaulti
Quarlls, Cockerell, and Scott wounded, and Briga
dier General Gordon oaptupd.
.They also state that on Wednesday General Sher
man carried Fort McAllister, commanding the en
trance to the Ogeeehee river, by storm, and that the
capture of this position puts* Sherman In communi
cation with the, Yankee fleet, and necessitates the
reinforcement of Savannah.. The despatches of
General Canby, so.far as proper for publication,
and the extracts from the Richmond papers, giving
Hood’s official report of the battle of Franklin, and
our success In Southwestern Virginia and in Geor
gia, are. subjoined. TJp to this hour (8 P. M.)
nothing has. been heard from Nashville since last
night, and nothing lrom General Sherman later
than the Richmond newspaper, report of the cap
ture Of Fort McAllister on Wednesday:
New Orleans, La., Dec. On the 25th utt. I
reported that a movement co-operative with Gem
Sherman's operations would be made from Vicks
burg and Baton Rouge for the purpose of cutting
Hood’s communleations with Mobile. The expedL.
tlon sent from Yloksburg, and consisting of about
2,000 cavalry and eight plooes of artillery, com.
manded by Col. E. D. Osband, 3d Colored Cavalry,
returned on the 4th test., having met with a com- .
plete success. After an admirably-executed flank
movement on Jackson, on the 24th, the expedi
tion started for the Big Black bridge on the Missis
sippi Central Railroad, whloh was reached on the .
27 th, and, after a stubborn resistance, captured
and destroyed, thus cutting Hood’s army qff
from the large quantity of supplies and stores
accumulated at Jackson, Miss, aad making that
railroad, whloh was his mate relianoe, unavaila
ble to him for months to come. Besides this Im
portant bridge and trestle work, the following pro
perty was completely destroyed, viz: Thirty miles
of railroad traok, Including culvert, wagon bridge
over the Big Blaek; Vaughn,Pickett, and Goo
dman Stations; railroad depots and buildings, 2,600
bales of cotton, two locomotives, four cars, four
stage coaches, twenty barrels of salt, and «162 000
■worth of stores at Vaughn’s Station. The ex
pedition was considerably harassed on its re
turn by large bodies of the enemy’s- troons,
hut suffered no material losses and brought back
more recruits than the entire loss in effec
tive men. Major J. B. Cook, commanding the
Sd Colored Cavalry distinguished himself and his
regiment greatly, by the gallantry with whloh the
force guarding the Big Black bridge were driven off
from behind their strong stookades cn the opposite
side of therlver. Our men had to charge, dismount
ed, with nothing but railroad-ties for a path, and In
the face of a sharp Are. I have announced Major
Cook In general orders as promoted to the vacant
lieutenant colonelcy of the regiment, subject to the
approval of the President. E. R. G. Canby.
City Point, Deo. 16.—The Richmond Dispatch of
to-day, alter fully eonflrmingtheprevious reports of
the capture of Bristol, says that “the enemy then ad
vanced up the railroad towards Abingdon, whloh w°
presume fell Into .their hands, though we have no
Information of the foot. The next we hear of them
they had, at 9 o’clock yesterday morning, pounced
down on Slade’s-Spring, a depot on the railroad
13 miles this side of Abingdon, taking every one
there by surprise, and capturing an of the railroad
employees except one, who managed to escape to.,
ten-the tale. %At last accounts the enemy wore
pushing up the railroad to the direction of Marlon,
which IS 27 miles on this side of Abingdon. This Is a
raid in Breckinridge's rear, The raiders, leaving Ms
forces Eomewhere in the neighborhood of KnoxvlUe,'
came up the north side of the Holston river and
crossed over to Bristol, It Is probable that the
raiders separated, one party proceeding to - Bristol
and the other to Abingdon. If unchecked, it Is
likely they will come up the railroad, even as far as
Salem, and thence escape to Kanawha by the route
followed by Hunter last summer. It is unknown'
who la In oommand of this expedition, bat It looks
very much like some of Stoneman’s galloping work.
“None of the despatches received say anything
about Saltvllle. If it Is unprotected, it has doubt
less been visited by tie enemy. If, however, there
were any troops there, the Yankees were apt to fight
shy of It, and oonfine their operations to the rail
road.”,
' THE BATTLE OF FRANKLIN.
General Hood’s official report of the battle of
Franklin has at last been received. It will be seen
that our reported extraordinary loss of gonoral offi
cers Is but too true. The following is General
Hood’s despatch:
HSADQUABTBES ASKT OP THE TENNESSEE,
Six Mileb pbosi Nashville, Dec. 8,1864,
via Mobile, Dec. 9th.
To the Hon.. J. A. Scddon:
About four o’clock P. M., November 30th, we at.
tacked the enemy at Franklin, and drove them
from their centre line of temporary works into the
Inner lines, which they evaouated during tho night,
leaylng their dead and wounded in our possession,and
retired to Nashville, closely followed by our cavalry.
We captured several stand of colors and about 1,000
prisoners. Oar troops fought with great gallantry.
We have to-lament the loss of many gallant officers
and brave men. Major General Claiborne, Briga
dier Generals John Williams, Adams, Gelst, Strahl,
and Branberry were killed. Major General John
Brown and Brigadier Generals S. Garter, Maai
gault, Quarles, Cockerell, and Soott were wounded.
Brigadier General Gordon was captured.
J, B. Hood, Major General.
A subsequent telegram from General Hood says
that our loss of officers was excessively large In
proportion to the loss of men.
PBOSt SBOBQIA—POST M’ALLISTER TAKEN BY
“ Official Intelligence was received yesterday that
the enemy on Wednesday oarrled Fort McAllister
by storm. The garrison of the fort consisted of
one hundred and fifty men. Fort McAllister Is on
• the Ogeeohee river, fifteen miles southwest of Sa
, vannah, at tire- point where the Savannah, Albany
; and Gulf Railroad crosses the river. It is about
' Six miles from tiro Ossabaw Sound. The capture of
* this position puts Sherman In communication with
the Yankee fleet. Without attempting any mili
tary criticism, we cannot withhold the opinion that
the exposing or one hundred men to the assault of
Sherman’s whole army was a piece o{ extravaganoe
that Our present military resources do not seem to
warrant"
The Examiner has the following *. “ Fort MoAHta
ter commands the entrance to tkejOgeechee river,
and has prevented the enemy heretofore from as
cending the river. We believe there are other
works further np the stream whloh would render
Its navigation by the enemy extremely uncomforta
ble. The fall of Fort McAllister does ndt by any
means Involve the loss of Savannah, but will neces
sitate the relnforoempnt of th® troops defending
that city. .
THE RAID IN VIRGINIA.
“At Slade’s Spring the enemy captured an engine
and fourteen flats, with some rallroidhands. On
’these a party of men were mounted and sent np the
road towards Marion, and a despatoh from the ope
rator at thatplaoe, on yesterday, tells us that they
were, at 2 o’olook, within a mile of that place.
Their object Is warily divined. It Is to burn the
bridge over the Holston, and break the road, to pre
vent troops from being Bentdbwn the line by steam
to reinforce Saltvllle. To Saltvllle the main body
will undoubtedly go—ln all human probability, has
already gone. There are some.fortifloations atsalt
ville, and some reserves; what number wo do not
know. If these can chick them by any saorlSoe, re
inforcements will soon put the plaee out of danger.
At preeent It Is oertainly In very great danger.”

leases, undivided interests, or royalty. Standing Stone
Creek (a branch of the Little Kanawha river), and its
tributaries pats through this property, and it has upon
it a larger amount of boring territory than is owned by
any other company in West Virginia. It is situated in

greater, and is considered by all experienced oil men
familiar with the oil district of West Virginia quite
£qual. if not superior* to the Bathbone tract The

Burning Spring through by Standing Stone and Petro
leum to Morse Neck wells, near the Ohio river, and
embraces the line of upheaval.
The property of this Company has not been developed
for the reason that it belonged to minor heirs, who
