The first point reached was Gardner's bridgo,
on the Roanoke river, beyond Jameston. Here
mas encountered a force of Kebel cavalry prob
ably acting as videttes the main force (infantry)
being strongly intrenched on the height beyond,
the position being approached by a bridge
lly the rapid movements df Captain Donegan,
who led the advance, the Rebels were frustrated
In tbiir deign of destroying this bridge ; and the
Uth New Jersey, which formed in column by
platoons, rushed onward energetically across the
bridge, up the heights, and succeelid shortly in
driving the enemy from his position, w,th but
s Ik bl loss to cither par'y. Captain Graham,
with Ids cavalry, charged in his nio.it gallant
style, and following closely on the heels of tin;
tiling Rebels, succeeded in taking several

The ma n column continued its onward march,
but tlid not succeed in eoinii gup with the Rabuls
until reaching Foster's Mills, where, they were
discovered strongly intrenched, and with one
icco of artillery. Similar to their lirst position,
this was approachable alone over a bridge, which
' this time the enemy had succeeded in destroying;
but a plank served the purpoo, although the
transit was of a more hazardous character. Tne
command, however, crossed in safety by this
means, and in line of baillo coufruutcd the Roods

Important despatches from (ion' ral Sherman,
and gloiious intelligence confirmatory of the cap
ture of Savannah on the 2 1 it.
On the 20th General Sherman having nearly

Foit l.re, nnil several other of the minor out

the forces wnibr the command ..f II vrdee, sent
a summons by flag of truce to the effect that If
the place was not in a cenuin ti ne surrcmletod,
a In iiihardment und assault would at once
commence. At this summon the rebel Ge
neral sent back a reply that as his com
munications were yet open und hi: men fully
supplied with subsistence and stores of every
kit d, they are en viiled to withstand a long
siege, and be was determined to bold
the city to the very last moment, and
di'eml ti e citizens and prop.vy which ha l
been placed under his protection nutil his forces
were ovcrpowi red and he be co'itpelled to sur
render. Fvery preparation had been made by
General Miermaii to assault the Uebdl position
next tiny, but when tho morning of the 21t
dawned, it was ascertained that the enemy had
evacuated their outreno'imcnts.
fcou'rul regiments of infantry immediately ad
vanced, toi k possession of them, and shortly
afterwards General Sherman emered tho city at
the head of his body guard, and received from
the hiimls of a dcpntaiion of its citizens the sur
render of tho place.
It appeaie that Hardee, on the night of the
20tb, seeing the Impossibility holding the city
and fearing that tho only means of esc ipo left
open acros the Savannah was likely to be cut
02" at any moment, determined lo avail himself
of this ronte for bis retreat.
His troops immediately set to work to partially
des roy the navy yard and all t'io Government
prcpeny, and at twilight, under tne protection of
two iron-clad rams, succeeded in crossing the
viinnuh river, over a causoway, to the north sido
intending to push forward to Charleston.
;I2,(I(IU biles of cotton were stored in the city,
which the KebeFs, In tbelr haste, neglected to
destroy.
The two Ironclad rams were sunk, and all tho
FnTcrnment property and store which tbey
could not carry off with them, they burned or
threw into the river. Four steamers and a small
gunboat were captured, which, together with the
lotion, and a large amount of Kobcl munitions
of war, form a part of tho spoils of the victorious
army.

by a joiut resolution ot the Genorul Assembly of
the Siate.
Georgia seceded from the old Union to protect
her rights and maintain her sovereignty, and slio
w ill, in her no.v ulimnco, neither penult 'lio "en
tire niiichincry of her State government to be
stopped," her "courjj of justice to be clos d," tlio
"..uthority of her magistrates suspended," nor her
"S'ate lines to be oblitera ed."
Nearly fifty regiments of her sons have spent

that glorious old commonwealth, while a p wer

burns I In ir cities and vdliges; destroys b' lu
ll rids of miles of ihe railroads of their state, and
plunders tbein of their property, leaving liioir
wives and children wuliout oread.
Their Kxicu'ive asks for aid, an I especially
that the sons ol Georgia may be permitted to re
turn and strike a b ow in her detense. It is
denied, and she Is left without an iufan ry force,
while her capital is ihe head. pi triers of (iouet.il
Sherman, to confront his powerful army, except
the Confederate Reserves in the Stato, and the
Statu otllcers und militia reserve, nm milling in
the usgregatc to a few thoasand men, many of
them with but little physical strength to endure
the hiudships ol the t nun.
Not a thousand men of all her large number of

her tt rritoiy was being overrun, In r cities, t wns,

lib these tacts before you, I leave it to your
own judgment ng a man of candor, which
your character, us u Virginia represcuta'ive,
iiulbnri.es me to assume, whether your pub

win tin r my S unt should, with bur lato sad
experience, turn over to Confederate control her
State otllcers, aud her old men aud boys, to be
taken from her limits; which would leavo ber
perfectly poweiless even to ward off the blows
from vital points', should the armies of the enemy
again puss over her territory.
Had the sons of Georgia been permitted to
return to the soil of Georgia, as asked by her
Executive a short time since, tho army of Gene

1'auin, December 11 The last sari duties to the
remains of tho late American Minister to f ranco
was performed this iiftcrnosn in the American
Chapel of the Rue de Hurry. The reaJing of the
opening services was shared by tho Rev. Dr.
Sunderland, pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr.
Cleveland, of New Haven, Conn., ami tho Il tv.
Mr. I.ninsoii, of the American Episcup U Church
in tlie Rue lUyurd.
The chapel was crowded to overflowing ; many
went uwuv tor want of room, and u largo crowd
rema ned standing in the street. The Government
si nt a detachment of soldiers of the line, two
Ii tsof which, wlih fixed b tyoiots, and knapsacks
on their b cks, be d the two aisUs of thecli ircli,
wllie tlie street In front of the chur 'h was also
lit Id by a double lile, resting on their arms.
'1 lie collln. placed on a platform iu front of the
pulpit, wus draped in the Am. l ie m Hag, and do
i oratt il with (lowers. Tho Emperor w.is repre
s.nttd on tills occasion by one of bis Cham ber
1 ins, who attended in a suite carriage; the Dip
It mullc Corps was fully represented; there were
mnny leading secessionist present firmer friends
ot the dec. a-id in public life at Washington; and
iu every direction the eye encountered notabili
ties of tho political and fasliioiMblo world. Such
a tr.buU to the memory of the deceased was a
great .'ource of satisfaction to his friends, and t
ullthosvwho knew tiy association the eminent
qualities of his head und bcirt.
lheFnnch press, and especially the ministe
rial priss, have exhausted their eloquen t; in
ttrmsof praise of tho deceased minister. We
have never seen an eoual umount of eulogy given
to uny deceased foreign minister at Paris. M.
i iitilin l.minvrac says of him this morning in the
( 'unstitutitmnrl, in an nrtlc'o which assumes thu
foi ih of the usual seinl-ollleiul uttorance of th it
pBlier :
"Mr. Dayton, taken away prematurely from
the esteem of ull those who knew him, carries
with him universal regrets. As we havo already
snitl, tins hnnorsble diplomat was ono of the
ii. heritors of the snge und noble traditions
I e.tn tithed to their coun ry and to history by
the founders and the carlv statesmen ot the
American Republic. Ho wus of tho school of
tl.o Wushmgtons and Franklins. Tbo agent
ot liia (iovtrnmei.t iu Fran c during' a period
ot great trial to tlie country, and charged with tbo
most tio.it ute resp. nsibilities, Mr. Bay ton has
known how, by the cour.esy of bis manners, tho
prudence of his language, ami his m (deration, to
avoid tlie complications and einhurrassrno us
which might have otlieiw so arisen. The Uanei
States lose in Mr. Dav t in an eminent cttUuu,
while we, on our part, are left to ucc impany,
with res cot to the grave, thu wise states. nan and
the honest man."
In a previous number the Vo'ixtittUionnel said of
the deceased Minister : f
"Mr. 1 ray ton was one of the most distinguished
and eiiligbiemd moil of the l uiud States. From
his courteous manner and his always well chosen
und mea-ured language, every ono could recog
nise in him a diplomatist who had followed the
gr od tiad. lions bequeathed by tho first generation
of statesmen ol tho American Ri iubbe-"
The (Jojiion So'uiiKile, after giving a sketch of
tl e ileccufcd Minister's ale aud piiulic services,
adds :
'1 bo honorable gentleman fultllled his dipt -niiitic
functions with a re tnudo and tact which
procured him tho esteem of even his political
adversaries; and assuredly ho hud to take
mi active part in a whole series of im
portant and delicato questions. It will SiillLto
to mention thu affair of the Tre nt the re
pealed visits of tho Confederate war vessolst)
pons of France the dillcrcnt phases of the .Mexi
can expedition the offers of F.uropcAQ media
tion n h i ted by tho United States and the Imild-
ii g of wur vessels for tlie South at Nantes an I
II rdcuux. In all th'se dillicult circumstances
lie bus always bad a safe rule of conduct aa in
fallible guldo political probity."
Tuo I'utne, a papi r unscrupulously hostile to
the Ciiion, contains the following nonce :
'Our political diUeiences," it observe', "tit
not prevent us from joining with the Unionists
in their regret for tho death of the able di
plomutist, as well as honiist man and perfect
gentleman, whom their cause has just list.
In the dillicult clrcuiiistancL'S In which his
country was placed, Mr. Dayton never departed
from the dignity becoming a diplomatist. Being
obliged to make himself the echo of tho haughty
und ' soiuetiuies excessive exigencies of Mr.
Seward, Mr. Dayton found means to mitigate
their harshness, aud thus to neutralize the Just
influence which the Confederate representatives
hud acquired in Europe. Mr. Dayton was per
sonally known to the Emperor Napoleon 111,
whom bo frequently met during his residence in
the State of New Jersey."
The Journal de jWMcs contains a lengthy and
highly comdllnieutary notice from the able aud
sympathetic peu of Professor Ladoulaye. The
l'reue, the France, the Steele, all speak in terms
corresponding to those quoted above. The Franco,
the organ of Mr. Slidell, waj the only paper
which contained any notice of the death the day
after it occurred, and this note, which was a Tory
kind and complimentary one, is suitl to have ceun
furnished by Mr. Slidell Wmself.
It is known that Mr. Slidell cherished the
highest respect for Mr. Dayton, and never hesi
tated to manifest it. So good an understanding
had grown up between the deceased and the
French Government in these later times, that
there is reason to believe the Government deeply
regrets this loss. We are sure that our own Gov
ernment would hare been the gamer by hut longer
stay on earth.
Ily this death Mr. Pennington, of New Jersey,
the First Secretary of Legation, falls into the
title of Charge des Affaires de la Legation, until
he is raised to the title of Charge d' Affaires, or
uutil another minister is appolutesf. N. Y. Ttmeo.

On Monday, the Mth Instant, the 3d Cavalry

object of the movement. The column was pre

On Tuesday morning the inarch was continued

vance ; i he 2tl Itiigadc, General Chapman, In tho
tci r. Ihe iiual precautions were taken lo guard
ugnu.'t surpnse, and Kt. tiling transpired during
tie li ght lo alarm the camp; but at about 'i
o'cloik (just before daybreak) the following
iiioiinrg, ll.c pickets of tlie 2d brigade (Is
New Hampshire Cavalry ), guarding a road leu I
ii g ii, a ivistcilv direction to tho back road, gave
, i. alaiiii.aiid instantly n whole brigade of Rebel
civalrj , limited by General Payne, inadoa dash

a ti w lords of flic ttth N.w York bs.oro dis

I Hints is, tell buck, vv ben the 1st Vermont,

tie brought in, and the enemy were charged
out of the camp, und driven between ono anil two
miles. While the 2d lln; ule was tnus ongaged,
ii force of tlie enemy, estimated lo number about
three hundred men, charged in, from tho sumo
sine i f the load, upon tho kt brigade.
These were, in a very short tune, driven off
wiih heavy loss. Here tho men ot tlie 21 Ohio
sat in their Middles until the enemy wero within
titty y aids, whun tho Ohio boys commenced
imply ii g Rebel saddles with their set en-shooters ;
iin. I, ult. r tiring one volley, changed, scattering
them in every direction. When the dash wus
ini'de uiouiul the picket of ihe 1st New Hump
shlie, upon the 2d brigade, about llfty of the 1st
New Hum) bbirc boys were cut oil'. Thusc wero
all cuptiiicd except Lleuteuuiit-Colonelllutchlugs
und (ittetn men.
Cnptum Lee, Provost Marshal of the division,
reports as lisur g received thirty-three prisouers
Imcluilbg two captains) representing the 7th,
Nib, and i2lh Virginia Cavalry. After this brief
ullair, finding that V bin tons (late Rhodes') divi
si. n ol ii fori try was coming down the pike, and
ihe special object of the expedition having been
Hi itmipli.-h. d, General Custer fell back withoat
iKii.g molested by lie enemy.
It appears that the enemy iccoived early infor
mation ot this movement on Monday night, by
scout to Newmarket, and fromthenco the news
was telegraphed to Stauut m, the Infantry hoad
qiuutirs, and to Waynesboro, the cavalry head
quint, rs. That night Rosser marched to liarris
burg, and tbo next morning moved down the
buck road, while the lntantry came down tho
pike, und, by a forced inarch, reached l.aey's
.-spring Wei! ue.-day morning, wheu the a'.t.icn was
luuetc.
Nearly the whole of tho attacking force was
die aid in blue clothing, which caused somo
ludicrous scenes, as it was impossibe, at times,
to distinguish lietween friends and enemies. This
ft ct caused the enemy, during the height of the
excitement, to shoot down some ol their own men
by mistake, and ut the Bono time It enabled
otheisto escape who otherwi-o could not have
done so. The charging party had received orders
to ore the s.ibio only, aud bad It been strictly
obej ed, they might have met with some degree
of tneeess ; fortunately, however, sovural of tho
most excited used their revolvers when near the
pickets, so that the camp was nlai uied in season.
At least fifteen of the enemy were killed, and
a laige number are known to have been wounded.
Our loss wasivvo killed and twenty-two wjuudoj
The men suffered terribly from cold, abd sumo of
tl em bad tbeir lent frozen on the march.
W hen the 1st Vermont was in position, ready
to e hafge, a party of tho enemy, only a fotr rods
tll-lanl, moved slowly along their front, as if
within thi ir own lines. Msj.ir Camming and
C. plain Mitchell were ordered lochurg but just
ul ilmt instant a superior ollleer said no; that
they were tome of our own men.
A si rgeat rode out to useerlain to what coirt
mnnd tney belonged, and tbo enemy r-sp ju.lc I,
' V'-d New York." Not answering some other
queslioLS icudily, ho became satlsiied us to tho
real churae'er, and the signal was given. Many
saddles wero emptied ns it was, but scarcely u
man could have escaped bad their real character
hem known At another time Captain Stotio, of
i be 2d brigade stall', got quite indignant at a
puty ol about fifty Rebels whom he tried tj rally,
tor neglecting to olu'y his orticrs.
Major Cummings, of the 1st Vermont, and
Cupiain Everts, ol ihe Hih Virginia Rebel Cavalry,
met in camp aud had some talk together, without
cither knowing that tbo oih r win an enemy.
The adjutant ol the Sth New York undertook to
cull a Rebel sergeant to account for trying to
steal mmi thing from an ambulance. At one
tune indeed no man dared fire or strike, for fear
nt hitting a friend Lieutenant Palmer, 1st New
Hampshire, got 'mixed up in tho Rebel ranks,
und only uitiovered his mistake when a Rebel
asked him where Rosser wus. Ho subsequently
escaped. Some of the enemy must h ivo slept
cold that night, for ninny were peeled of their
clo bing on ihesp.it.
While on this trip, Dr. Wood, Surgcon-In-Chief
of the Division, undertook to ascertain the fate of
some of our wounded men left in Rebel bauds
several weeks ago. He succeeded in ascertaining

One inuu was brought to the M runt Jackson

thing In fore being brought thero. Dr. Wood
says the Rebel burgeon admitted thu' his books
had bten very .Imperfectly kept, and it was
possible others hud died whose names wore not
