THE PALL OF SAVANNAH, Below we give in detail the latest des patches in reference to Gen. Sherman’s movements and the probable fall of Sa vannah. Doubtless Savannah was in pos session of our forces several days since. Washington, Dec. 15.—The following telegram was received from Fortress Mon roe last night, dated Dec. 14th, from Fort Royal Harbor: To Hon. Gideon J. Wel les, Secretary of the Navy—l have just received a cofnmunication from Gen. Sher man’s army. It is within a few miles of Savannah and in fine spirits. I shall bring all my available force into connec tion with the army. A dispatch is for warded with this. Very respectfully, J. A. Daulgken, Rear Admiral. A bearer of despatches from Admiral Dahlgren arrived in this city this morning with the following important dispatch tor the Secretary of the Navy. Flag Steamer Philadelphia, Pout Royal Harboe, S. C., December 13,185-1. — Hon. Gideon . Wells, Secretary of the Navy. Sir : —It is my happiness to ap prise the Department that General Sher man with his army is near Savannah, and lam in communication with him. In view of his probable arrival I had station ed several steamers at different points, and had come down from the Taliffnny yes- terday in order to be at hand. J had not to wait many hours. This inarning about eight o’clock the Dandelion arrived with Captain Duncan and two scouts, Sergeants Meyron Jemmick and George W. Quigly, bearing the following lines from Gen. Howard : “Headquarters Department of Army of Tennessee, near Savannah Canal, Georgia—Commander of United States Naval forces in the vicinity of Savannah, Ga. : We have met with ' glorious success thus far.- Troops in fine spirits and near by. Respectfully, • O. O. Howard, Maj. Gen. Com.” Captain Duncan states that our forces were in contact with tlic rebels a few miles outside of Savannah. He says Sherman’s army are not in want ot anything. Per haps we could not give greater satisfac tion to the country than that whie'h I am sending, and I beg leave to congratulate the United States Government oh its suc cess. It may, perhaps, be exceeding ray prov ince, but I cannot aefrain from express ing the hope that the department will commend Capt. Duncan and his compan ions to the Hon. Secretary of War for some mark of approbation for their suc cess in establishing communication between Gen. Sherman and the fleet; it was an en terprise that required both skill and courage. I have the honor to be, very respect fully, your obedient servant, J. H. Dahi.gken, ' Bear Admiral, Comd’g S. A. Squadron. We are permitted to publish the fol lowing extract of a letter from General Sherman, written before he started off on his great match, which shows not only that he reached the point at which he aimed, but that he accomplished the diffi cult work some twelve or fourteen days earlier than he expected : Kingston, Ga., 9 r. m., Nov. 3, 180-1. Capt. Peacock, U. S. N., Mound City; In a few days I will be oil lor salt water, in hopes to meet my old friend D. D. Porter- again. Will you be kind enough to write him and tell him to look out for me about Christmas from Hilton Head or Savannah. (Signed) W. T. Sherman, Maj. Gen. That Sherman had captured- Savannah before the steamer which brought the above dispatch had fairly got out of the harbor of Port Royal, is probable, from the fact that the messenger who reached here this moraing says that when coming out of the harbor, and while too late to communicate by signal, the whole fleet began to fire a salute. Upon looking to .ward the vessels, they were being decora ted with flags in honor of some great vic tory, The opinion, then, of all on board was that news bad reached the Admiral of the fall of Savannah. AproiNTED.—The President has ap pointed Hon. Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio, Chief Justice of the Supremed Court of United States, in room of Rodger B- Tsonsy, dec’d.

To attempt to write such an article, in which the name of the Deity was to be used with as much familiarity' and as little respect as that of a political demagogue, was cer tainly presuming very much upon bis mercy. We hope, for the sake .of the craft, and the morality of the rising gen eration, that our eyes may never again fall upon such a sacriligious publication in any paper making pretentions to morality'. The “ Little Pilgrim.” —This is the title of one of the most valuable papers, to put in the hands of children, that is pub lished in this country. It is edited by Grace Greenwood, whose name alone is sufficient recommendation. It is a month ly publication, containing 1(3 pages of care full selected contributions, among wich are Charades, riddles, puzzles, : enigmas, and illustrated rebuses.

Campbell, Ksq.. of this place, on Monday evening the f,iii. While the ihinily were sitting in the room, the light from the lamp’hegan nickering as is sometimes its wont, (caused by the wick being too short or not satura ted sufficiently with oil) whereupon Capt. J. D. Campbell approached to the lamp for the, purpose of extinguishing the ilarae, when the fire, commu nicated with the oil, which instantly exploded in the Captain's face The oil upon the Captain's hair, face and shoulders becoming ignited, it was with difficulty the fire could be quenched, and it was not until his hair had been totally burned and his fact dreadfully scorched that a bucket of water dashed upon his person prevented further injury. Other members of the family were slightly burned, and the oil spilled ujK)n the floor being on fire was making rapid headway in destroying the carpet, but the flames were soon extinguished. A child sleeping in a cradle in the room was rescued by a gentleman before any injury was inflicted upon it. We were pained' to learn that Mr. Campbell has been greatly disfigured, and it is uncertain ! when lie will recover from the effect of the sad mishap. * Our citizens, tailing wtrning from the fact that kerosene oil does partake of the explosive quality of fluid, -will do well to look more particularly to the wants of their lamps by observing whether the wick is of sufficient length to Suck the oil, and also observe that the wick is properly trimmed lor burning. —Huntingdon Globe. ■ Gallant Little Exploit.—' The following will show your readers bow the Rebels hurried away from 'Chicago when they found their designs on the city and Camp Douglas, for the Bth inst., were exposed : ; Captain Louis F; Booth, Kinth Illinois Cavalry, was among those furloughed from Memphis to come home to vote. He left Chicago on -the Michigan Central Railroad for XCalanuuoo on the day of election. The train had not proceeded far when he noticed five Rebels in the car occupied by himself. Being an invalid, in. ail overcoat, ho was not observed by them. He also found two soldiers, one of whom only was armed. The Re!«ls were fully armed. Captain Booth imme diately telegraphed to the Provost Marshal of Michigan City to meet the train. yOn his arrival there, Captain Booth threw off his hyercoat, show ing his toothpick and revolver, arrested the-Jfthn nies, and turned them over to >dr. Provost Miif,lm!. There proved to be nineteen of them on the train, who are all (thanks to Captain Booth) doubtless now enjoying the little hospitalities of Camp Douglas. Oil Investments Hon; A. K.

I tried *ll the rheumatic remedies that I coul : hear of, but found no relief until I tried youF Rheumatic Compound and Ulood Purifier. I used three-fourth* of a bottle ot it, and it cured me sound and well. My wilW also \v.i4 afflicted with the same disease, and a small por tion of H cured her, lam nearly seventy years of age; and it is over four years since I was cured, and 1 have pot been troubled with it since. It affords me great pleasure to furnish you with this certificate, *> that yon can refer others who are afflicted with rheumatism, to me. 1 remain yours truly, ANDREW ARMSTRONG, No. 10 Jame* Street, Allegheny City.

CANoNaBUEQH, WASHINGTON CO., \ April 1-th, lSt>4. > Mr.. A. Johnson -Ccnr Sir: I wish to say a word or two in favor of your Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier. 1 have been afilicted with Rheumatism, more or less, for over twenty years. A great part of that time 1 was very bud. 1 tried a groat many rheumatic medicines but received very little benefit from them. On the first of last January, I was so bad that 1 was entirely helpless. I could not write mv own name; I could only lio on one tide. While reading in the United Presbyterian paper I saw a notice of vour Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier. I was afraid at first that it might to like oth«r remedies that I have tried, but as it was in a religious pa per I concluded to give it a trial. So I got a bottle, used it, and found myself a little better. I used three bottles mure, and 1 am happy to say that I have neither pain or ache. I am bixty-eiaht years of age, I can lie on either aide, travel for half a day at u time and not bo fatigued. I believe your Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier to be the best medicine ever olfercd to the Public for the cure ef rheumatism, ii you think this note, with my name to it. will be of any use to you or a sufiering public ; you are at liberty to u*e them. Yours with respect, JOHN I. LOCKHART. Mr.. Johnson Dear .mV; My wife had be«u afflicted with neuralgia for a long time. It commenced on her iu ISotf. Site was so bad with it that she \v w obliged to lie in bed about lour day* iu the week, ah- tried everything that we hoard of that w;ts recommended for that disease bulahe got no relief; then we tried medical advice but it dune no gfood. At last X thought she must die. as I thought there was no cure. But in *h? spring of 1563, X believe iu March, a daughter of Mr. Dickey’s, who lives in the Court with me. said, ‘-Why dout you get Johnson's Rheumatic Compound and Blood Purifier. It cured my father of the rheumatism when he was a cripple, and the doctor could do nothing for him.” So I got a a bottle of your medicine, and before my wife had the bait of it used, she was cured. It is now more than a year since, and nbo has not been troubled with it aiuco. This I can testify to, on oath. Yours, PlTTiDur.Gii, April 11th, ISo-l. Prepared by R. K.
