A despatch from Savannah brings the painful intelligence of a terrible disaster at sea, in the loss of the steamer Evening Star, from New York for New Orleans, with two hundred and fifty passengers and a crew of fifty persons, very few of whom are, so far, known to have been saved. The disaster occurred one hundred and eighty miles east of Tybee Island.
