Four rilled sixty-eight pocadcrs?s inch

hundred and twenty pounderrirlo-in pivot
and four small rifles in broadside forward.
In addition to this formidable batteiy she
has one gun not moo#ted, lying on the
starboard side of the engine room liateh.
Mr. Gild* could not ascertain its calibre,
as it .was covered-with a tarphrilin. ,She
lias a crew of about two bundled men.
who looked dirty and undisciplined, and
. Morris apolir/'d for tlie appearance of the
ship and crew, and Rifcl they hnd been
very busy lor tlie past' few days. Her
chief engineer is confined to his room on
account of injuries received by tolling

ARRIVAL OF REBEL DESERTERS, |
Sherman vrLhin four .Hilts of Atlanta.
On Monday last three deserters arrivedher;;
from Savannah. The papers they
brought were only to the litb, not .as
late aslhose obtained by Hag of truce at
Port Royal Ferry, hut the information
they communicate is quite important.
They rep ort that Sherman has cr^fe^
the Ckattahoocliee River, at a point nine
miles above that he had threatened, and
that he is now advancing on Atlanta.
At laics; accounts he was only about lour
miles distant, and Johnson had fallen |
back to the city. All the munitions of
waraud government properly were being j
removed to Macon and Augusta, mid tlie
general expectation wn that the city
would Da given up.
- Gen. Foster s recent expedition created
a great sunre in Savannah. Its departure
was known as soon as the transports
sailed, l.nt tl e destination was suppos^'
to be Savaunalh ,Tho rebels now bu-vcj
two rams there, the Savannah and the
Georgia. On the night of the sailing of
the expedition they got up steam, and
cauie down' to the ohslrutiious on the
Savannah Itivcr. Gen. Johnson also sent
a brigade ot'Georgia troops from Ids army.
Tliey proceeded as far as Augusta, and
their destination was then changed to
John's Island, where they ptfrtieipatdd in
the fight of Saturday, July Oth.
These reports may require the allow
IUI iatiwu uoiiuiij i^vr^rw j
in receiving the statements of deserters:
hot their 9tory is very straightforward. i
and is jxrffcctly consistent wiJ,U rthe admissions
