da troops, with reinforcements from other States, numbering about 8,000 of all arms, had taken position on the west side of Mc-Girt's creek, 12 miles from Jacksonville. Under the supervision and direction of Generals Beauregard and Anderson, breastworks and stockades were constructed at this position, and similar fortifications of a more permanent character were thrown up at Baldwin, 8 miles in the rear of McGirt's creek, and at the intersection of the railroads running from Fernandina to Cedar Keys and from Jacksonville to Lake City. For a time there were many indications which gave promise of an advance of the Federals, and every preparation was made to meet them at McGirt's creek in the first place, or in the event they should turn that position, then at Baldwin, where it was believed a successful defense might be made against a superior force. Our effective force operating near Jacksonville was, infantry 6,290, cavalry 1,568, artillery 487. BrigadierGen-eral Gardner, by vigo

e stringent by gradually occupying the coast itself. A few words will suffice to explain the small military operations which preceded in the first four months of 1862 the setting out of this great expedition. The first was the occupation of Cedar Keys. This group of islands is situated on the western coast of Florida, a short distance from the main land, and fronting the head of a line of railway which, crossing the peninsula in an oblique direction from south-west to north-east, connected of light draught to St. Mary's through the inland canals, which took possession of the town and fort without opposition. This operation was marked by an incident unexampled of its kind up to the present moment. The railroad from Fernandina to Cedar Keys, after skirting for some distance, on Amelia Island, the sheet of water which separates it from the continent, crosses this sheet of water over a large bridge built on piles. Just as the gun-boat Ottawa was entering this lake she saw a train

mmense salt-works, had been withdrawn. An expedition was immediately organized with a view to the destruction of these establishments. On the 6th of October about one hundred men were conveyed to the spot in eight launches; they accomplished the task assigned to them after a slight affair with some Confederate skirmishers, in which five or six of their number were wounded. During the autumn the Federal navy also destroyed the salt-works in the Bay of St. Andrews, those of St. Mark, near Cedar Keys, those of Tampa, and lastly those in the vicinity of Appalachicola. The last town was occupied by the Unionists, but constantly menaced by their adversaries, who starved them in it. The inhabitants themselves only existed by means of contraband trade with the rest of the country, which it had been found expedient to tolerate. The Confederates, becoming bolder from day to day, did not hesitate to fit out vessels, intended to run the blockade, in the river from which the town derived its

without any delay, to the end that those who had taken the oath, and whose vote had been discounted in advance, might take part in the Presidential election in November. Gillmore, accordingly, did not lose a single minute. On the morning of the 8th he put his troops in motion in the direction of Baldwin. This place is situated about nineteen miles to the west of Jacksonville, and at the intersection of the only two railroads that Florida possessed at that time–that from Fernandina to Cedar Keys, and that from Jacksonville to Tallahassee. These two roads, which traverse the most fertile part, Northern Florida, connect the Atlantic coast with that of the Gulf of Mexico. Gillmore counted on following the first far enough to drive the enemy back toward Tallahassee, to hinder them from enlisting troops, from collecting stores, turpentine, and cotton in the eastern part of the State, from carrying off the rails of the railroad, which they intended, it is said, to use in the repair of

Discontinuance of mails. --It is stated that the Post-Office Department have discontinued the steamboat mails on the Mississippi river all the way from St. Louis to New Orleans; the steamboat mail from Mobile via Lake Pontchartrain; the steamship mail from New Orleans via Pensacola, Apalachicola, Cedar Keys and Tampa Bay to Key West; also, all the steamship mails from New Orleans to the seaports in Texas, as Sabine City, Galveston, Indianola and Brazos Santiago. This makes a reduction of some $400,000 per annum of mail pay. These were all discontinued in consequence of the act of the United States Congress, at its last session, directing the Postmaster General to discontinue mails when the service was interrupted in any of the States.
