To. Major . Gen. Dix, New York: -
Dispatches have been received to-day, from
General Foster, who had a personal interview
on, the morning of Wednesday, the 14th inst.,
with General Sherman at Fort McAllister,
which had been taken by assault on the pre
ceding day.
Qttivannah was closely besieged and its cap.
tura with the rebel forces there was confi.=
dently expected. It was to be surrendered in
two days, and if not surrendered Sherman
would, open his batteries upon it.
Gem Foster reports that Sherman's army
is in splendid condition, having lived on its
march - on the turkeys, chickens, sweet pota
toes and other good things of the richest part
of Georgia. The march was feebly resisted.
Nothing has been heard from General
Thomas to-day.
Unofficial dispatches state that the Provost
Marshal, at Nashville, reports five thousand
prisoners and forty-nine pieces of artillery as
being already secured.
. It is ascertained that in transmitting Gen.
Thomas' report last night, a telegraphic mis
take was made at Louisville ,or Nashville, in
the estimated number of our casualties. The
dispatch written by Gem Thomas stated that
"whole loss would not exceed three thousand,
and very few were killed.
A dispatch from Lexington this evening,
states that on the 13th, at Kingsport, Tennes
see, General Burbridge had a fight with Basil
Duke's brigade, formerly John Morgan's, and
routed fith aloss to the enemy of 150

GREgiT NAVAL EXREDMON
ON BOARD THE UNITED STATES STEAMER
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, HAMPTON ROADS,
December 12-3 P. M., 1864.
[Correspondence of the Baltimore .dmerican.l
Through the kind courtesy of Rear Admiral
Porter, I have been permitted to accompany
the great naval and land force about to take
its departure from this harbor to operate
against an important point on the Southern
coast; and have been assigned accommoda
tions on board the splendid steamer Santiago
de Cuba, Captain 0. S. Glisson, from whom
I have received a cordial welcome
to the generous hospitalities . of his
cabin, which, after the exposure incident to a
trip in the Captain's small boat from the flag
ship to the Santiago de Cuba, against a heav
sea arid fierce northwest wind, which sent the
spmy in drenching showers over our little
craft, I have found most acceptable indeed.
Under the pilotage of a less experienced sea
men, and with a less efficient crew, the trip
would: have been as perilous as uncomfort
able; but with the gallant Captain at the helm,
and the muscular arms of his brave "blue
jackets" tugging at the oars, there was no
room for apprehension, and so, with no great
er mishap than shipping some salt water and
taking rather an unseasonable shower-bath,
we soon reached the decks of the Santiago,
and were not long in feeling ourselves " very
much at home," in compliance with the hos
pitable injunction of Captain Glisson.
As I write, all appears to the ready for a
start, certainly it is so on board our ship, and
Captain G. is only waiting the signal to get
under way. Orders have been issued to keep
a bright lookout on the flagship for the sig
nal, but as the gale hest not yet blown itself
out, we gall probably not get off for some
hours yet.'
Meanwhile I will *copy my time in en
deavoring to give your readdes some account
of this great armada; but its destination and
the plans arranged for operations, although
fully known, must not at present be stated,
lest by a premature publication of the same
important information should be communi
cated to the enemy. Suffice it, therefore, for
the present to say that the expedition is no
doubt by far the largest in tonnage, class of
ships, and weight of metal of armament, that
has yet been sent against the enemy.
The fleet, including transports and tenders,
Will number not less than one 'Mildred and
My vessels of all grades. By far the largest
periton of the fleet has already sailed. That
portion now here embraces, however, the
Webster
PRICE THREE CENTS
larger and most important vessels and the
army transports.
The entire expedition is under command
of .Rear Admiral D. D. Porter, whose name
and fame, in connection with the many bril
liant operations on the Mississippi and its
tributaries during this' war is so familiar to
your readers - that I need do nothing more than
mention it.
The co-operating land force, numbering
about thousand men, is under command
of Gen. Butler.
The naval portion of the fleet—that is, the
war Vessels proper—number sixty-five, inclu
ding the largest and most powerful vessels in
the navy. The fleet is divided into five divis
ions, the iron clads forming one, and the
wooden hulls formed into four others, with a
large reserve force of smaller vessels.

THE. SAILING OF THE FLEET
TECPADAY 2,2oumbro, Dec. 13-6 A. u.—Owing
to the roughness of the sea, although the gale
had very much subsided long before night
fall, it was deemed prudent, on account of the
iron-clads, not to sail until the weather should
become more calm,. and thus all expectation
of a departure Was postponed till morning.—
A more beautiful sight than Hampton Roads
presented last night it would be difficult to im
agine. The full moon shining in a cloudless
sky, its silvery light-reflected in myriad rays
Ifrein Are heavnig waters; the dark hulls and
tapering masts aninibars of the fleet, all
. irrung - out in ah.srp, bell 40f:tired outtinog,
the numerous brilliant signal lights displayed
from the various vessels—the Admiral's
flagship conspicuouS among the gallant
throng by its three brilliant red lights—all
reflected in endless intermingling lines of
lights on the dancing waters; the gleaming
bayonets of the pacing sentries—all made up a
picture full of rare beauty, quite beyond my
power adequately to describe. Then the
sounds—the Musical bell answering to bell
and echoing back again on the passing,
breezes; the boatsWains' whistles, the life and
rolling drum, and other kindred sounds, ad
, ded a thrilling interest to all. I could not
but feel a shade of sadness, however, whilst
viewing the noble get, to think how many of
the gallant fellows_it embraced must, in all
probability, meet death or fatal wounds in
their country's service, ere they again return
to the peaceful waters of. Hampton Roads.
But now the' scene is changed—the glorious
night has given place to a bright and more
glorious day. The officer of the deekhas just
announced a "general signal" to the fleet from
the flagship. Our gallant Captain consults
his signal book; his quick eye in-a moment
catches its significance, and he announces the
order "Get. the ship under way," and to his
guests, "Gentlemen we are off at last."
Now comes a stirring scene. If the sight of
last evening was inspiring, the one now pre
sented to our gaze is vastly more so. The
noble flagship is gay with brilliant signal
flags. The fleet respond, first to the "general
signal," then come the signals from the flag
ships of the various divisions. There goes a
signal to the mast-head of the grim looking
"Ironsides." Quickly her iron-clad satellites
respond, and puffs of steam announce they
are-all heaving up anchors and getiAng under
way.
• The tall towering masts of the great frigates
and sloops-of-war are swarming with blue
jackets, bending sails so as to avail of the
breeze and save coal for operations elsewhere.
Our own good ship is moving.. Our • "blue
jackets" are heaving up the anchor with a
will, and their lively tramp as they go round
and round shows they are not loth to start.
We are getting ready to tow the Monitor Ma
hopac. As it is desirable to save the coal of
the Monitors, they are all to be towed except
the Monadnock, which has proved such a
good sea boat that she is expected to take
.care of herself. She.has just steamed by us
in gallant •style, whilst we are waiting to take
in tow the Mahopac.
The army transports have all gone. They
slipped out during the night, and are well out
seaward by this time.
10 o'cloek.—We are now fully off, the whole
fleet moving out of Hampton waters in gallant
style. A bright sky overhead,. a favoring
breeze and smooth sea. May* the God of
battles "be unto us a safeguard and defence,"
and grant us good success.
Orr OAPs HENRY, Deo. 13, Noon.
I close this letter hastily, in order to give it
to the Pilot, who is just about to take leave of
us. Yours, to., A. F.
THE FLEET OFT HATTERAS ON THURSDAY LAST.
NEW Wm, December 16.—The steamer
Morning Star, from New Orleans on the 10th,
has arrived. She passed off Hatteras on
a large fleet of steamers steering southeast.
Tam Richmond Examiner finds another
"symptom the breaking down of the bar
riers that until this war kept the negro in
his proper place," in the fact that at the slave
auctions swarthy negroes are among the
buyers. "Not an• auction is held but the
negro element is largaly developed, and some
dusky 'Mrs. Toodles' alivays around enjoy
ing the first pick, and putting her label on the
goods of her choioe,' That is "a date of
things," truly.

SAVANNAH IS COMPLETELY INVESTED.
The Fleet Heard, From.
Fos Morrsoz, Dec, 17
The special dispatch steamer Eliza Han
cock, arrived to-day from Hilton Head with
Major Anderson, bearer of important dis
patches from Sherman and Foster.'
The news brought by the Hancock is of the
most encouraging character.
The vanguard of Sherman's army had sue
ceeded in reaching with safety, on the 13th
inst., and with very little loss to the main
army, the outskirts of Savannah, and on the
14th Sherman completely invested the city,
heimnaing in and cutting off from all means
of escape, Hardee and his army of 15,000
men.
Should th& place not be immediately sur
rendered, a regular siege Will be at once pros
ecuted with vigor.
Secure lines of communication had - been
opened between the armies of Sherman and
Foster, and on the 14th inst., the two gen
erals dined together at Fort McAll'ster. No
doubt was entertaiund at Hilton Head but that
Savannah must speqdily fall, and when that
takes place, the attention of Shermait will, in
all probability be turned toward Charleston.
The Hancock passed off New Inlet, N. C.,
while on her way to Fort Monroe. The ex
pedition and fleet, under Admiral Porter and
Gen. Butler, which sailed from here some
days ago, alEio spoke the steamer Amanda
Winants forty miles southwest of Cape Hat
teras, bound north.

A letter, from City Point, dated yesterday

from Charleston and Augusta papers of the

forces were pretty well &Altered, a

was fifty miles in the rear crossing the Savan
