Pastalsylvanla Soldiers, late Pri.oners in
iHe Sontik, Now at Annapolis.
GOT. Curtin dispatched Surgeon General
Phillips to Annapolis, on Saturday evening
last, to look after the welfare and supply the
wants of the Pennsylvania soldiers, late prig;
oners in the South, who have just been ex
changed and returnetwithin cur lines. Sur
geon Gen. Phillips was dispatched by Gov.
Curtin to use his utmost endeavors in succor
ing the poor fellows who have suffered such
barbarous treatment at the hands of the reb
els, and to report at once to the State authori
ties for whatever co-operation may be needed
to promote the success of his mission. Those
'baying relatives and friends among the re
leased Union prisoners now at Annapolis may
rest smeared that whatever the authorities of
Pennsylvania can do to relieve our heroes
will be promptly and cheerfully performed.
The Contest For the Certificate of Elec
tion in the Sixteenth Congressional Die.-
Messrs. Koontz and Coffroth, the Union
and theJ opperhead candidates for Congress,
in the XVlth Congressional District, appear
ed before Gov. Curtin. this morning, for the
purdose of discussing the right to the certifi
cate of election in. that district. Two returns
having been made, it now depends upon
prima facia evidence as to which is genuine.
The Governor postponed his decision in the
case until Wednesday next, and hi the mean
time the . contestants have proceeded to take
ei,idcnce as to the legality of the returns now
On file in the State Department. There is no
doubt, whatever, that the facts will prove the
' , validity of the returns electing Gen. Koontz,.
in which event the Governor will of course
embrace his name in the Proclamation declar
ing the election of Congressmen in this State.
Advertise.
All seasons are appropriate to the merchant
and manufacturer for advertising. If business
is dull, the- sensible man advertises. If busi
ness is buoyant and brisk, the only way to se
cure a profitable portion, is to advertise. The
secret of every man's success in trade—all the
great fortunes amassed in mercantile pursuits
and mechanical enterprises, ars directly due
to the liberality_ with .which such merchants
and manufacturers advertised. Without the
great advertising medium of the country—
without the facilities afforded by the numer
ous journals now published, the business of
the nation would soon dwindle and become
utterly worthless. The intelligent business
man understands this fact, and exhibits his
appreciation of its advantages by the extent
of his advertising.
THE PENNSYLVANIA TELEGRAPH is now the I
• • •As Irs,o - susa - oso csa - voringUlg me
dium outside the two great cities flourishing
on the Western and Eastern border of the
State. Its morning and evening editions
reach a class of people whose patronage is
worth seeking, and whose disbursements for
domestic and general business purposes, can
easily be commanded by those willing to ad
vertise. Our morning edition, alone, as it is
circulated in the adjoining and counties -be
yond, is equal to almost any of the local pa
pers published in such localities—and when it
is considered that this is a daily issue, it will at
once be seen that the advertiser who seeks our
columns, is sure of deriving the largest bene
fit from their use.
We mention these facts for the benefit of
our local tradesmen, as well as for the infor
mation of the merchants of New York, Phila
delphia and Baltimore. Our morning edition
now circulates largely in all the towns along
the Pennsylvania, the Lebanon •Valley, the
Northern Central and the Cumberland Valley
railroads. These roads in this vicinity, tra
verse the richest portion of the State. Business
men would do well to remember these facts.
At this season, particularly, the great firms of
the commercial cities, desirous of securing
the retail trade of the localities traversedby
these roads, should take advantage of the.fa
cilities to do so afforded by the TELEGRAPH;
while the retail traders, who seek a fair share
of the business of the holidays, can 'only re
alize their desires by liberally advertising.
'All advertisements appear in both editions.
This alone is an important fact.
Oun Annum); to the pitiful apology for
the utter repudiation and defeat of the cop
perheads at the late election, put forth in an
address by C. L. Ward, the chairman of the
treason-sympathizing, dough-face State Cen
tral Committee, has excited the rancor and
the spite of one .of the slowly expiring organs
of that faction. Of course we were not as
tonished that such should have been the effect
of our article. It is as much the business of
that decaying sheet to vituperate its opponents
as it is the peculiar faculty of Mr. C. L. Ward
to falsify all be touches, These qualities are
as peculiar to the journal and the individual
in question as stench to manure. As for Mr.
Ward, we owe him no malice and seek to
visit him with no resentment. If he makes
-an ass of himself in his old days, it is the
fault of his nature and not of his education.
He knows that he is doing wrong, b u t h o
ean't help it. His great master, Buchanan,
endeavored once to place him in a position,
by accrediting him as a minister to a foreign
court, (the one-horse gqvernment of Dlica
rauga,) but Ward's propensity for falsifying so
disgusted old Buck, that he closed his blind
eye with such utter disgust as to force a tear
f rom its lids, as he bitterly exclaimed, "Well,''
V i and is a d o ---,n liar, and the truth is not in
him." With this" endorsement from Buchan.
an, why should any tory organ go into wawa
sions over any allusions of ours to Ward?
Tmr, Misgami State ConTention will assem
ble early in 3exciary. It.is expected that it
will decree itatziediate emancipation; prohibit
"Sunday laws," and render-foreigners eligible
SOT the highest state offices.
Sherman.
The last Army and Navy eTourn2i says that
Sherman's column consists of four corps of
infantry, two divisions of cavalry, four bri
gades of artillery, and two horse batteries
The infantry is composed of the Fourteenth
Corps, Brevet Major General Jeff. 0. Davis;
he Fifteen tb, Brevet Major General Osterhaus;
the Seventeenth, Major General Blair; and
the Twentieth Major General Slocum. The
cavalry consists of two strong divisions, under
Kilpatrick. Finally, there is a full brigade of
artillery for each corps, and one battery of
horse artillery for the cavalry. The editor re
frains from giving the numbers in his pos
session either of men or guns, but he says
that the infantry corps are more than usually
strong. The artillery force is organized on
Gene. Barry and Hunt's new plan, prevailing
in the Army of the Potomac, consisting of an
independent brigade of each corps. Each
artillery derriage has eight horses, with
twelve in reserve for 'each battery, all care
fully picked for this march. The Quarter
master's Department in Sherman's army has
'always been a model for efficiency and good
management. The whole force is divided
into two wings, Gen. Howard commanding
the right, and Gen. Slocum the left.
The 'Richmond Enquirer of the Bth, says
that "either there is no news from Sherman,
or it is not proper to make it known." If the
rebel authorities knew anything to the preju
dice of his expedition, they would be sure to
blazon it to the world. The Examiner affects
to discredit the accounts from this side, of the
victory at Franklin, Tenn., over Hood.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
THE Leavenworth Conservative states that
the majority for Lincoln in Kansas is 9,810.
The increase of the vote in the State is large.
There were polled in 1802 15,418 votes; in
crease near 2,090, and this too in the face of
the large number of soldiers now inthe field.
There were more votes cast for Governor than
fBt the Presidential electors. For the former
there will be near 18,000, for the latter, say
17,000, with all the counties in. This differ
ence arose wholly from the refusal of a few
German radical friends to vote for Presidential
electors.
Tax Panama Herald says that information
has been received in San Francisco lately, to
the effect that Dr. Gwin, formerly United
States Senator from Calafornia, has obtaiued,
through the influenceyof the Emperor Napo
leon, and in his interest, a commission from
Maximilian as Governor General of the State
of Sonora, with authority to induce emigration
and settle the country, and power to grant
lands. •

Sherman's 111'neh in Georgia
lILS ANSIT IN SPLENDID CONDITION, AND REPORTED
kwrrigni six Buirs or saveNtraz
APPROACIUNO SAVANNLU
The Republican says: ".t is reported in re
liable military circles that information has
been received that Gen. Sherman's cavalry
crossed the Qgechee canal, and appeared in
the rear of Savannah at two, points on Thurs
day. It is reported that one portion of the
force dashed into and captured Yamacraw,
while the other swept around on the south
as far as Beulah. Yamacraw is just north of
Savannah. Beulah, we believe, is on the Ver
non river, a tributary to the Orsabaw sound."
SHEEMBE WITHIN SIX MILES OF SAVANNAH-LEE
SENDING TROOPS TO GEORGIA
WAssmarrox, Dec. 10.--It is reported direct
from General Grant's army, that on Wednes
day the rebels had information that Sher
man's advance was within. six miles of Savan
nah. At this point he had halted, and was
awaiting the arrival of certain portions of his
command which had been pent in different
directions for the purpose of misleading the
enemy. Deserters who gave this information
also state that there is great dissatisfaction in
the rebel ranks, because correct information
of Sherman's movements is withheld from
them.
Especially is this so among the Georgia
troops. They also report that many of our
prisoners have escarkd from their confine
ment, and joined Sherman. It was also evi
dent from the conversation of these deserters,
that Lee had detached troops from his army
and sent them to Georgia to assist in arresting
Sherman's advance. It is not too great an
inference to draw from the above facts, • that
ere this Sherman has thundered at the gates
of Savannah, and most probably with success.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10.—The following special
dispatch has been received at the office of the
American:
ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 10--p. Kt.—The steamer
Victor hasjnyt arrived from Charleston, where
all of Col. Idtdford's fleet are now lying, the
point of exchange having been changed from
Savannah to Charleston, Generals Sherman
and Foster having interrupted the exchange
at the former place.
When the Victor sailed on Wednesday heavy
firing was heard in the direction of Savannah,
indicating either an attack on Savannah or the
railroad between the two cities. All agree

AN INCMIDIAMS SHOT
Si. Lours, Dec. 10.
Major Gregory, commanding the post at
Franklin, Mo., reports that the rebels made
an attempt last night to burn the Missly
Bridge, on the southwest branch of the Pacific
Railroad. When discovered by the guard,
the incendiary was sitting on the bridge try
ing to kindle a fire with a brand. He had
with him ft man dressed in rebel uniform, who
was unrecognizable by the citizens of the vi
cinity. Six balls pussed through himi °lim
ing instant cl&ith. •
The crew of the steamer Ike Davis, captured
some time slime by the rebels, as run into
Galveston hiAcr, arrived at ge*Qrlenns on
the 2d.
The situation is unchanged in : front of the
the Fourth Corps. Not a shot was fired up to
2 o'clock to-day. Since then some slight skir
mishing has occurred.
Owing to the slippery condition of the
ground the men find it impossible to move
about.
The rebels can be plainly seen from the
front of the Fourth Corps, standing about
their camp fires.
Hostilities may be said to have ceased, on
account of the weather.
Deserters who come in say that the rebels
have strong intrenchments.
Colonel Lewis Johnson, commanding the
Fourty-fourth Colored Infantry, has received
from the General commanding the highest
praise for the manner in which he fought his
troops at Mill Creek Station No. 2, having
gallantly kept the enemy at bay for sixteen
hours, and finally fought his way out and
reached Nashville with a loss of one hundred
and fifteen men killed and wounded. No re
port has been received from the gun-boats
that went down the river yesterday morning.
No cannonading has been heard here. The
river is three feet an the shoals and falling.
