The Ziem, Savannah has gene np at last President Lincoln received en official despatch from Gen. Sherman, on Sunday evening, dated Savannah, 22d, presenting the city of Savannah to the President, as a Christinas gift, and announcing that the city wag occupied by onr forces on the morning of the 2 lit. Sherman had almost surrounded the place, and demanded the surrender of the city on the 20th, or it would be assaulted the next day. Hardee replied that be would defend the city to the last, as his men were in good condition, and well supplied with everything. But that night ho "leaked out," crossing the river into South Carolina, his main force, supposed to be about 15,000 strong, and all his light artillery.

He blew np the iron-clads, and burned the Navy "Yard. Oa the morning of the 21st, Sherman entered the city, whichTwas surrendered by a deputation of citizens. Among the captures are 800 prisoners, 150 heavy guns, plenty of ammunition, about 25,000 bale3 of cotton, and some 20,000 citizens, who aro reported quiet and peaceably disposed! A despatch from Gin. Foster, of the same date, gives substantially the same report as the above, but the number of bales of cotton captured is placed at 33,000. The torpedoes and obstructions were removed from the river, and the fleet ascended to the city.

Sherman will immediately move np the river, end capture Augusta. It is reported that ha has already started. Gen. Thomas' headquarters are now at Pulaski, Tennessee, and the pursuit of Hood's broken and discouraged army still continues. The Tenneessee River is very high, and it is reported that Hood's pontoons are swept away, and that he will bo overtaken before he can cross to the south side of the river.

Tho rebel papers announce that the great naval expedition which sailed from Hampton Roads, is moving np the Cape Fear River, to Wilmington. Some of tho Forts commanding ho approach to the city have already been bombarded; and heavy land forces havdisembarked at the mouth of the river, to approach the city from the roar. Rebel papers announce that Price is re-organizing bis army, in Arkansas; and that he has 33.000 troops, allMissourians IlAnrER'a Magazine and Weeklt.

An individual was seen, a few days ago, tampering with the telegraph wire, where it passes through a corn-field, a mile or so above Rnlo, and where it was broken about the same time.

In one of the Western States an action for divorce was brought by a husband against his wife, and among the leading allegations against her was ono that she never made good bread.

Soldier T.art uymmartlc" The State Board of Canvassers, con sibting of the Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, and Attorney General, met at Topeia, a few days since, to canvass the vole cast at recent clec tioD. The Snprcme Court, who were petitioned to forbid the counting of the soldier vote, having decided thstnthe matter was "not regularly and properly befor-a it, the responsibility Tested with the Hoard of Uanvassers.who decided, by a majority, not to count the vote. That vote would not have changed the result on any State office, bnt would have beaten Price7for the Senate, in this and Lockwood, in the Conncil Grove District, and probably made a change in several fiiher members of the Legislature. Gov.

Carney, Auditor Hairgrove and Attorney General Guthrie decided agliinsT'counting the soldier vote, and Secretary Lawrence and Treasurer Spriggs were in favor of it. As to the Iegaliiy of the soldiers' vote. we have a decided We believe it is clearly unconstitutional. We so believed, last Winter, when the, voting bjll was before the The Constitution expressly says that no soldier shall voto. Until that 'clause was amended.

no law to allow soldiers to vote wonld be Constitutional. Such an amendment is now adopted, and hereafter the soldier vote will be legal. We voted for such an amendment, two Winters since, and again, last Winter. But whsn a bill allowing soldiers to vote was introduced, before ih Constitution was amended, much as we wanted them to have that right, we conld not, consistently with onr oath, vote for it. Three-fourths of the members of the Senate and House be lievedjas-we did, yet they refused to face the mnsic.

They said' that there was a difference of of opinion, and they wonld give the soldiers the benefit of the doubt. But ono member of the Honse, (Orem, of this County,) voted against the bill, and bnt five members of the Senate. Among the latter was McGrew, the Lien-tenant Governor elect. But that bill once passed, we do- not believe the Board of Canvassers had any authority to go behind the returns. Their dnty is to count the vote as returned to them, and not to interperct the Taws, or decide Constitutional points.

The Governor signed the soldier voting bill, thus indicating that be believed it to be Constitutional; now he refuses to connt the vote cast nnder law to which he himself gave vitality, because it is nnconstitntional It may be, that in approving the bill. he was misled by his "Constitutional adviser," the Attorney General, bnt has since seen the error of it Bnt in what a predicament is Gnthrie When the bill came before the Senate, it caused a flutter. Many members believed it to be nnconstitntional, but bad not the backbone to oppose it. They therefore referred it to their interpreter of the Constitntion, Attorney General Guthrie, asking his opinion. It cams.

He decided that it was Constitutional that the Constitution did not mean what it said and he branched off into a mixture of spread eagle stump-speech, and schoolboy composition, all about the brave soldiers. It was a disgrace to a man holding his position, and should have entitled him to a spanking from some old grandmother. But the Senate had bis opinion, and gladly acted upon it, thus getting rid of their own scruples by accepting his nonsense. After having sent in his "opinion," he made the sage remark: "I guess I fixed those fellows in the Senate 1 They thought they had me, and would thrust the responsibility of killing tho bill on me. But I've got them now Last Summer, in a laudatory article in the Nemaha Courier, written by himself, he referred the many opinions ho had given, as Attorney General, not one of which had been contro verted.

He was so eager to serve the State, that ha bored every Senator, two years ago, to elect him Secretary of their body, until he disgusted them, and they beat him; then hurrying off to Washington, he whined piteonsly to Gen.

Lane, telling how he had worked for him, and how the State Senate had wronged him because he was a Lane man, nntil the General, partly ont bf pity, and partly to get rid of bim, secured him a Paymasterships, to enable him to indnlge his pleasure in serving the Government, at a Major's salary.

The figures are: Number of white males, 3,325 females, 3,144.

Slaves, 68. Free colored, 6. Total population. 6,544. Population- in I860; Decrease, 6.

Popnlation of Oregon, in 705. 1860,720. Decrease, 15. Popul'n of Forest 1S64, 380. 1860,350.

Increase, 80. In I860, Holt Connty contained 809 slaves. The census for this year, as shown above, 68; and this number has" de creased at least one-third since tbeyjtvere enrolled. There are 1313 male persons' fnUbe uouuiy, iiuciuaiDgsoiaiers in me over the see of twenty-one, of which number S90 are Radical Union men, and 477 range in the" political scale' from mild Conservative down to extreme rebel. The remainder are not yet entitled to vote, bnt are generally Radical.

Many of the Conservative voters enumerated above, were, at the time of enumeration. temporarily absent, and many have left the Connty since then. The fotal number 'of voters in the County now, may bo classed among the opposition, is bnt little over 300. Holt County has famished overJOO men for the Union army, and between 300 and 400 for the rebel army. The latter cannot be correctly estimated.

Holt has been injured less bp tho rebellion than many other Counties around her; yet, when the demoralization of the whole people, the many lives sacrificed, the depreciation of property, are fairly estimated, the result looks fearful indeed. Andrew County has suffered more thin Holt has. The result of the census just completed in that Connty, shows over 2900 less than the census for 1860. Atchison Connty shows a falling off of "Onn Youkgi Folks." The reader will remember that wo mentioned, a few weeks ago, a new Magazine for young people, which would shortly be issned by Messrs.

'Com. nf, Air Attehftto.Absassinatk'Gsnebal Grant The NawYork Sun of Wednesday ttes that a gentleman 'who was a paosengsr on tho train which brought JJonerrtl Grant from Baltimore to Philadelphia, on Friday Ut, relates the follow4 ing rather remnrfcable incident: The General had been sitting for a long time at om of thd windows of the car. During tha evening he left his scat and panned into a forward cnr. where he re mained. Another gentleman, who seated himself in tho position vacated by.

the General, was snWqnently startled by two leaden bullets that came cranhibg through the window pane end lodged in the other side of the car. Fortnnately these messengers of death struck a little too high to do injury which the gentleman thought might have been accomplished if he had been struck by them. Whether this was the rettult of accident or a deliberate attempt to cssassinate the General will probably never be known; but the fart thtt two ballets were simultaneously fired into'a window at which General Grant had only a moment before been sitting, certainly looks moresiifipiciouy than otherwise.
