FLAG-STEAMER PHILADELPHIA SAVANNAH RIVER, January 4, 1865. HON. GIDEON WELLS, Secretary of the Navy. SIR: I have already apprised the Department that the army of General Sherman occupied the city of Savannah on the 21st of December. The rebel army, hardly respectable in numbers or condition, escaped by crossing the river and taking the Union Causeway toward the railroad.

Shortly after the fighting ceased, Colonel Ellet sent the ram Lioness, under a flag-of-truce, to demand the surrender of the city. To this demand no response was given. A little later, Flag-Officer Davis sent the following note to the Mayor, at the hands of one of the officers of the gun-boat Benton: UNITED STATES FLAG-STEAMER BENTON, OFF MEMPHIS, June 6, 1862.
