The Washington Chronicle of Sunday, received yesterday afternoon, contains the following official bulletin: War Department, December 17, 10 P. M. Major-General John A. New York Dispatches have been received to-day from General Foster, who had a personal interview on the morning of Wednesday, the 14th instant, with General Sherman, at For which had been taken by assault on the preceding day. Savannah was closely designed, and its capture, with the rebel forces there, was confidently expected. It was to be summoned in two days, and if not surrendered. Sherman would open his batteries upon it. General Foster reports that Sherman's army "is in splendid condition, having lived on its march on the turkeys, chickens, sweet potatoes, and other good things of the richest part of Georgia." The march was feebly resisted. Nothing has been heard from General Thomas today. Unofficial dispatches state that the provost- marshal at Nashville reports five thousand prisoners
The Daily Dispatch: December 21, 1864., [Electronic resource], From Savannah. (search)
From Savannah. --The latest newspaper account from Savannah is the following paragraph which we find in the Charleston Mercury of the 17th instant: "As far as we have been able to learn, the report of the evacuation of Savannah by our forces, so current yesterday, is altogether without foundation. General Beauregard left the city by the Savannah railroad yesterday morning. Foster's batteries, in the neighborhood of Tilifinny creek, near Coosawatchie, continue to shell, with great vigor, every train that passes the latter point. As yet, however, we have heard of no material damage done; otherwise, all remains quiet along the line of the road."
