We also had strong batteries at Rose Dew, between the two Ogeechees, at Beaulieu, Thunderbolt, Causlin's Bluff, etc., and troops stationed on Isle of Hope and Whitmarsh islands. Our newly-erected fortifications on the land side of the city were very strong and capable of turning back almost any kind of assault, though they were not commenced till after Sherman had nearly reached Milledgeville. Sherman's army appeared before these works about the 8th or 9th instant, and on Saturday, the 10th, considerable fighting occurred. --Several severe assaults were made, in which the enemy were signally repulsed. Early on Sunday morning, the 11th, a tremendous cannonading began and was kept up for half the day. It was supposed in the city that a heavy engagement was going on, but it proved to be only a general shelling from the heavy guns on our lines. Sherman was in no condition to attack our works.

He was scarce of ammunition and had no heavy guns, as well as other difficulties in the way of his giving battle. During the siege, severe assaults were several times made on particular points, with a view of storming our works and breaking through our lines, but all these were handsomely repulsed. On Saturday, the 17th instant, a flag of truce was sent in by Sherman, demanding the surrender of the city; and on Sunday, the 18th, a reply was given by General Beauregard, refusing to comply with the demand. On Monday, the evacuation commenced — the first squad coming out about mid-day; another came out at 4 P. M., and two others at night.

Our informant states that Sherman demanded the surrender of the city of Savannah unconditionally, stating that, if complied with, favorable terms would be shown to the garrison, but if not, that he would proceed to take it either by assault, investment, or the most sure process of starvation; and if taken in that manner no quarter would be given to the garrison, nor would he be responsible for the conduct of his troops. He afterwards sent a copy of General Hood's demand for the surrender of Dalton. Sherman's inspector-general, who was bearer of the flag of truce with this, informed one of our officers--Captain Macbeth--that Sherman came very near being killed a day or two previous by a fragment of shell from our side. His body servant was killed, and Sherman barely escaped by dodging behind a rock.

Such suspense is worse agony than any reality, be it ever so dreadful. The only intelligence from Savannah, Georgia, from Southern sources, since its evacuation, is the following, from the Augusta Register: It is reported that Sherman has sent a force from his army around to the assistance of Foster's troops, on the Coosa-watchie. The enemy's batteries in that quarter have increased, as evidenced by the continuous shelling of the railroad; doing, however, very little damage. Our cavalry continue to scour the country around Hardeeville. In other respects, affairs in that quarter are unchanged. A gentleman who left Savannah on Thursday night states that Sherman had sent about three regiments into the city as a guard. The remainder of his army is encamped outside the city. --Sherm
