TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
JOYFUL NEWS FROM SHERMAN.
Arrival of a Scout at Hilton Head? Sher
man'* Army All Right?Only Ten Mil?
from Savannah on the 9th? The March
up to that Date Unchecked ? Brief Dis
patch from Gen. Howard ?It Tells the
XV hole Story?Our ''Success thus far Per
fect."
Hiltos Head, S. C, Deo. 12. (via Fortress
Mokrok, Va., Dec. 14.?Major Gerural li. W.
Chief of Staff;? General?Captain Duncan, of
General Howard's scouts, has just come in
from General Howard, having descended the
Ogeeche river in a small boat. H* left the
army on the evening of the <>th. Sherman's
whole army was then within ten miles of Sa
vannah, advancing to attack it. The enemy's
works, five miles from the city, were probably
attacked yesterday, as heavy firing was heard
in that direction.
Captain Duncan represents the army to be
In the best spirits possibles and in most excel
lent condition. Very little opposition had been
iset with on the march, as the enemy-could
not tell what loutes would be taken. The
army has lived off the country, and had accu
mulated a considerable number of horses and
cattle. It was also well supplied.
The following is a copy of the dispatch
brought by Captain Duncan:
"Hea: yBAKTBRS Army of theTennessee,
Near Savakkau Canal, Dec. 9. 1-<>1.? To ihe
CvmMtmu'.r uf tht I . S. A'u val t'orctx in the vicin
ity of i'avannnh, Ga?Sir: We have met with
perfect success thus lar. Troops in fine spirits,
and near by.
"Respectfully, G.O.Howard,
Major General commanding,
Kight wing army."
Another dispatch was brought by Captala
Duncan, directed to the signal officer ol the
fleet, from General Howard's chief signal offi
cer. requtsting a good lookout to be kept for
signal*.
T have ihe honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, J.G. Fostbs,
Major General Commanding.
From Fort Royal, S C.
Fortress Monroe, Dec. 13.?The steamship
Arago, Captain Gadsdin, arrived herelasteve
nirig, having in tow the United States gunboat
Augusta, which broke down while^n the way
Irom Port Royal. The Arago brings mails,
passengers, and important dispatches from
General Foster, commanding the Department
of the South.
The laU-st advices from Sherman at the time
the Arago left?on the Mh instant?were that
ells advance troops, comprising mostly cavalry
and 1 iktit artiliey had reached a point only
lorty miles lrom Savannah, and were steadily
feelir.g their way towards tnat city, with every
prosj ect of capturing it with very little loss to
nis army. He had succeeded in severing the
railroad communication leading to and from
Savannah, and bad cut off the most important
routes of supplies for the troops that were has
tily assembling in the defence of the city.
The most intense consternation is said by our
men recently exchanged to be prevailing not
only in Savannah, wh*re the authorities are
hourly expecting to hear the booming of the
guns of Sherman's vanguard, but also in
Charleston, it being with difficulty that the
excited feelings of the populace can be al
layed, so great is there dread that Sherm in
may yet make the capture of this latter city
the object of his grand campaign. The ex
change ol prisoners is progressing very favor
ably, considering the state of affairs in Charles
ton, and no doubt is entertained but that CjI.
Mulford will succeed in obtaining a sufficient
number of our men to load the remaiuing ves
sels ol the exchange fleet.

Thr weather has considerably moderated.
All of our forts did more or less firing to-day,
V nt apparently with little damage to the enemy.
Skirmishing between the lines was renewed
tc-day with greater earnestness than for some
days past.
The enemy yesterday fell back to his main

outer lines.
Despatches fnlly confirm the success of Gen.
Eossean's troops, under Gen. Milroy.
Gen Bates's division is w ithin two miles ol

Nothing has been heard from the rebel
brigade that crossed yesterday at the Cumber

Reconnoissnnce? Farther About Hood.
Nashville, Dec. Mth.?Yesterday afternoon
a reconnoissance was made by regiments from
Steadman's corps near the Murf.eesboro pike.
Sharp skirmishing occurred during the after
neon. There was no losses on the Federal
side except some half a dozen wounded.
A deserter who came in yesterday, reports
that Hood nad altered his lines.
Somewhat later and reliable Information is
to the effect that the rebel forces are still in
thi?ir former position.
Hood has been reported sick at Franklin,
with typhoid lever, but the report is not cre
dited. He is undoubtedly with his troops,
within a few miles of Nashville.
A lot of Government wood was destroyed
by a party of Couieuerates, ten miles np the
river yesterday. A portion of rebel GenerM
Lyon b command is reported to have burned
some trestle work on the Edg'tijld and Ken

DISCHARGE OF THE ST. ALBANS
RAIDERS.
Montreal, Dec. 13.?The case of the St. Al
bans ejitiers was reopened to-day before Jus
tice Courtal. The court-room was well filled
with spectators. The appearance of the pri
soners was much the same as at the last hear
ing.
At the commencement of the proceedings
Mr. Kerr objected that the court had no juris
diction in ihe case. He denied in toto bis
honor's right to sit there at ail on this Investi
gation.
Mr. Derbln said that, after having granted \
delay of a month, they had now met to hear
evidence for the defence, and nbt to listen to a
legal argument.
After a few words from the Court, and from
Mr. Johnson, (Queen's counsel
Mr. Kerr was allowed to go into an argu
ment as to the jurisdiction of the court in thu
premises, and after some dlscossion between,
the counsel, the Conrt said that this was a
matter of most grave importance, involving;
his right of jurisdiction, and. :onsequenily..
the validity of these proceedings from the com
mencement. He should, therefore, take time
to consider it before proceeding further and
for this purpose the court would adjourn until
3 p. m.
The Conrt reassembled at 3 o'clock, and was
densely crowded. Justice Coursal, on taking
the bench, said the matter In question was
most important, since his authority had been
denMd. He had given the argument on both
aides his most serious consideration, and
bad come to the conclusion that the case came
under the imperial act, and that he was bouud
to act and to obey the imperial authority. la
a national question, like the one nnder coo
sidera'lon, the imperial act was supreme, and
must be his guide. Onr own provincial act to
carry Into effect the Ashburton treaty had not
received the special royal sanction requisite.
The case was a most exceptional one, and being
national be ceuld do no other than allow onr
awn act to give way before that of the Imper
ial Legislature. The revised imperial act must
rule herein, and that aet required that the
Warraat-ar.der which the prisoners were ar
rested stae^ld be signed by the Governor Gen
eral. If t*e. court could have reserved the
point fcra tribunal U would most glad
ly have done so, bntfsiaoe tbe liberty of no
subject was Involved there admitted of the
d?lav. sad slnie be bad not bad the warrant at
tbe Governor General, be bad com* to tbe eon
elusion tbat the court poe^essed no jurisdiction
In the case, and be mum order tbe immediate
release of the prisoners.
Tbe announcement was revived with ap
plause by a nnmber of persona present, bat
tue demonstration was instantly checked.
Mr. Devlin then rose, and in a moat impas
sioned speech implored bia Honor not to oMer
the discharge of tbe prisoners upon th* re.
maining indictment-', but in fairness and jus
tice to the conaeel for the United States, and
for tboseot the private prosecutors, tbe Banks,
to allow of a bearing. He contended that the
prisoners could be discharged only on this on*
particular indictment, and the court owed it
to the con nsel to be beard on the others. Hhoald
it be said in au English court of justioe that the
Judge having decided in favor of tbe prisoners
lu one cate, he immediately dischargee them in
six others, what would be said ontslde? TM
counsel for the defense themselves knew that
the course which tbe court had taken was un
precedented. Had not his lienor issaed six
warrants, and yet he bad but one warrant be
fore him. lie called solemnly on the court to
hesitate He (Mr. L>evllu) could not remain
sllei) t whilst thirteen men charged with roa
bery, and even wi?h murder, were allowed to
at liberty without their several cases being ln
\ estimated. < >ur good name for justice ana talr
play was at stake, and though some amongst
us might be sympathizers with tho prisoners,
he bsd yet to learn tbat they ?et at naught the
jewel, lair play He again called upou tbe
court to hesitate before discharging these men,
and give tbe counsel for the prosecution a
chance of being heard, for here the most im
portant interests of all were at stake, vi*.. in
ternational ones. He again implored he court
r.ot to order this wholesale delivery, lie would
put it to tbe court, was it treating the counsel
lor the prosecution with fairness? It the court
should persist in doing this, then we must be
prepared for the consequences. No csnntry
lmd dealt fairer with England in extradition
matters than had the United States. Tbeir
Judges combined to give effect to the extradi
tion treaty. The Judges of onr Supreme Court
had concurrent jurisdiction with bis Honor,
and had counsel known of the probable cour*e
ol Lis Honor, they wonld have desired tbe
court to allow these Judges to have seats on
the bench with him.
Mr Johnson rose and said that both those
who represented the United States and thoen
who repievented private iuterests in this affair
had upon them a grave responsibility, bat he
tbonght Mr. Devlin mistaken in the view which
he took of the judgment of the court. The
court meant that tbe prisoners were dis
charged on tbe one charge which had been
investigated.
The Court tore said that Mr. Devlin had
rnderstood the judgment of the court aright.
The prisoners were discharged in every case
be tore him.
Messrs. Kerr, Abbott, and Laflamrne, counsel
for the prisoners, obj-cted to any calling in
question ol tbe judgment.
Mr. Kcse, counsel for the United States,
wished to speak. He said he did not meau
to call hie Honor 's judgment jnst delivered in
question
The Court declined to bear further, saying
that if he had no right to arrest these men on
one charge, as he held tbat he had not, then
neither bad he the right to detam them on any
others. These men had been arrested on magis
trates' warrants upon bis own motion, and
then on motion of the police, and now whan
bis Honor's own jurisdiction was called In
question because his warrants were null and
void, he saw be had b en mistaken, and it was
the duty of every British judge, on finding that,
to rectify the error?.
The Court ordered, therefore, that the pris
oners be immediately discharged, and was pre
pared to incur ihe responsibility of hie own
actB.
Applause again broke out in the court, but
wp,s again instantly che-ked.
In a few minutes the prisoners walked
through the court room and were congratu
lated by a few of their acquaintances; and
when they emerged from the building a few
voices we're raised in something meant to be
cheers. They then separated, looking pleased
at their enlargement, and tbe crowd at once
dispersed.

New York, Dec. 14.?The fallowing general

!i7 ? Information having been received at these
headquarters that tbe rebel marauders who
weie guilty of murder and robberv at St. Al
bans, Vt., have been discharged from arrest,
and tbat other enterprises are actually In pre
paration in Canada, the commanding general
deems it due to tbe people of the frontier towns
to adopt the most prompt and efficient meas
ures lor the security ol their lives and prop
erty.
p All military commanders on the frontier are
therefore instructed. In case further aots of
depredation or mnrderare attempted, whether
by marauders or persons acting under com
missions from the rebel snthorities at Rich
mond, to shoot down the perpetrators if possi
ble while in the commission of their crimes, or
if it be necessary, with a view to their captur*,
to cross the boundary between the United
States and Canada, said commanders are here
by directed to pursne them wherever they may
take refuge, and, if captured, they are under
no circumstances to be surrendered, but are to
be sent to these headquarters for trial and pun
ishment by martial law. The major general
commanding the department will not hesitate
to exercise, to tbe fullest extent, the authority
be possesses under the rules of law recog
nized by all civilized States in regard to per
sons organizing hostile expeditions wr.hin neu
tral territory and fleeing to it lor an asylum
after committing acts of depredation within
our own, such an exercise of authority having
become inaiepensible to protect our cities and
towns from incendiaries, and our people from
robbery and murder.
It Is earnestly hoped that th? Inhabitants of
onr frontier dis'r:cts will abstain from any re
taliation on account of the outrages committed
by the rebel marauders, and tbat the proper
means of redress will be left to the action of the
public authorities.
