ord what he wanted, as one of our number in searching the trash in the deot came across one hundred and fifty dollars' worth of confederate notes. Twenty-seven dollars of this stuff paid for a breakfast for nine. At Baldwin, the railroad from Fernandina to Cedar Keys crosses the Florida Central. It will be seen at a glance that it is an important place for us to hold. In the afternoon, General Seymour and staff came up from Jacksonville, and later in the day, General Gillmore, with a portiono our possession, fired the one and sank the other. A gun which was planted to protect the stream was captured by us the next day. Most of the crew have given themselves up as deserters. Yesterday morning the gunboat John Adams came in from Fernandina with a locomotive and several cars to be used on the Florida Central Railroad. The rails on this road are in good condition, and have been little used. The track at the Jacksonville end, and that portion which Colonel Henry destroyed, also a

Sanderson is a village a littleSanderson is a village a little larger than Baldwin, a railroad station, and distant from Jacksonville forty miles. The rebels had the burning buildings afforded sufficient. Sanderson was the centre to which all the forage and pr the State was forwarded. We remained at Sanderson till two A. M. the next morning, and then sta message to General Seymour, who Was now at Sanderson, asking for further orders. He was firm in was in getting provisions to the troops. At Sanderson the troops were forty miles away from their ally resolved that Henry should fall back to Sanderson. To that point several regiments of infantr Friday while following a negro soldier from Sanderson. A courier, going from Camp Finnigan to Jacn the command. I heard a woman tell one, at Sanderson, that he would be surely hung if the rebels eral Seymour ordered to be burned just above Sanderson, are the only breaks between Jacksonville an

The prisoners said n that same day the rebels had received from Lake City a large quantity of clothing, most of it ent the afternoon, the cars had been there from Lake City and taken away some government stores. ThreA. M. the next morning, and then started for Lake City. We arrived within two miles of that place, infantry had advanced. The evacuation of Lake City by the rebels Thursday night shows how badlyn, not knowing which way to turn. He had at Lake City three thousand cavalry and infantry, and yetI have no doubt of the truth of the remark. Lake City has a population of three thousand. In a stieutenant-Colonel Ponce, who was in front of Lake City, looking at the skirmishers, in the garb of e have information that such is his design.

d a half millions of dollars is the fruit of the success. To Colonel Guy V. Henry and his command, the battalion of Massachusetts cavalry, under Major Stevens, the Fortieth Massachusetts mounted volunteers, and to Captain Elder, First artillery, and his battery, this achievement is principally due; and the Brigadier-General Commanding especially desires to praise Captain George E. Marshall, company E, Fortieth Massachusetts mounted volunteers, and his small command of forty-nine men, who captured and held Gainesville for fifty-six hours, receiving and repulsing an attack from more than double his force, and, after fulfilling his mission successfully, returning to the designated place of rendezvous. These deeds will be among those remembered by us with the greatest pleasure and honor, and the command may emulate but can hardly expect to surpass them. By order of Brigadier-General T. Seymour. Official: R. M. Hall, First Lieutenant First Artillery, U. S. A., Asst. Adjt.-General.

Finnigan. His force is scattered, and amounts altogether to about two thousand five hundred. The Florida Central Railroad, which extends from this place to Tallahassee, is in running order. A train came and departed to-day. It was the intention of the rebels, however, to take up the rails next week and transport them to anot Lake City has a population of three thousand. In a strategic point of view, it is an important place for us to hold. It is half-way between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. I estimate the amount of rebel government property captured and destroyed thus far by the raid into Florida, will reach the value of one million and a half er a pontoon or construct a regular bridge. If we have a battle there, it will, in all probability, take place at Suwanee River, which is between Lake City and Tallahassee. The section of country through which we have passed offers superior advantages for guerrilla warfare. A number of this despicable class of people has been

Baldwin is a small town on the Flosame gentleman has nearly two hundred bales of cotton near Baldwin, which he had ordered to be sent to this place. General F further from the infantry. At seven A.

At Baldwin, the railroad from Fernandina to Cedar Keys crosses the Flken at Ten-Mile Run, also much of the property captured at Baldwin, have been sent to Jacksonville. Colonel Henry left Baldwf the tenth. At a point on the railroad, four miles above Baldwin, we came across thirteen bales of cotton, and further up,

ive P. M., this day. The expedition, comprising twenty steamers of various classes, and eight schooners, the whole under the command of General Seymour, left Hilton Head on the morning of the sixth. The forces consisted of cavalry, artillery, and infantry. The entire fleet arrived without accident of any kind at the bar off Fla., Sunday, February 14, 1864. I have already noticed in a previous letter the safe arrival at Jacksonville of the troops forming the expedition which left Hilton Head on the sixth instant, for Florida. I now propose to chronicle the events which have occurred in this region since the landing. Prudential reasons deter me froty to accompany Major Stevens as volunteer aid. He recently received his commission as captain in the Fourth Massachusetts cavalry, and when the expedition left Hilton Head, was on the point of going North to join his regiment. All the distance from Jacksonville, either Captain Ray or Lieutenant Holt led the advance-guard. The Fo

was a chance when the rebels saw their line of retreat cut off, that they would attack Henry, in which event they would have been gobbled up in a very short time. Henry was prepared for them, and I heard him express the wish more than once that the enemy was following. Another gallop for two miles, and I witnessed the most brilli three rails were taken up at three different places. This would not only prevent the rebels from getting off their supplies, but keep them from sending troops to Henry's rear. Every mile that we now travelled, carried us one mile further from the infantry. At seven A. M. we dashed into Baldwin, a place of fifteen buildings, theeth Massachusetts, thigh; C. E. Lee, Co.

The track at the Jacksonville end, and that portion which Colonel Henry destroyed, also a half-mile which General Seymour ordered to be burned just above Sanderson, are the only breaks between Jacksonville and Lake City. In a day or two we shall have a train running to our front with supplies. The telegraph is in operation from Jacksonville to Sanderson. The President's amnesty proclamation will be extensively circulated through Florida. A large supply has just arrived from Washington, and packages have already been sent to the front. I doubt not we shall see a most favorable effect produced by its distribution. On Thursday the steamer Nelly Baker proceeded up St. John's River, a distance of thirty-five miles from Jacksonville, to a place called Green Cove Spring. Two companies of infantry were on board. Medical Director Swift was in command of the force. After landing, the party went to one of the principal hotels of the place, and discovered therein eighteen bar
