The left is on. the Savannah river, three miles a bove the city, and the right is on the Ogee chee river, at King's Bridge. The army is in splendid order and equal to anything The weather has been fine and supplies abundant. Our march was most agreeable, and we wete not at all molested by guerillas. We reached Savannah three days ago, but owing to Fort MeA Haste! we could •not communicate; but now we have McAllister, we go ahead.
