Steamer Kensington, Pensacola Bay, October 24, 1862. sir: In continuation of my reports from Sabine Pass, sent by the prize schooners Adventure and West Florida I have the honor now to state that on the thirteenth instant I sent the Kensington on her way to the Rio Grande, under command of Acting Master Taylor, there to water the Albatross, in obedience to your orders, and also to water the other vessels blockading on the Texan coast. The next day I commenced to prepare an expedition to destroy the large railroad bridge at Taylor's Bayou. The expedition I had before sent, under command of Acting Master Pennington, of the mortar-schooner Henry

The canister must have had some effect upon the rebels, for that and the shrapnel were distributed pretty freely into the ambush. The guerrilla bands here in Florida seem to have adopted the mode of warfare practised by the Indians in these swamps not many years ago. The rebels were quickly driven from the sloop, which was Drs. Stevens, Scofield, and Draper have volunteered their services as an act of kindness to our enemies. Apalachicola was once the largest commercial town in Florida; but now every thing looks desolate. A small rebel steamer comes down the river from Columbus, Ga., about once a week, and supplies the inhabitants with corn-meaacked in salt for the government. Large quantities of salt were of course required, and the rebels had erected salt-works all along the bays on the Gulf coast of Florida. The gunboat Sagamore demolished thirty-six of these salt-works in St. Andrew's Bay, about a month ago. We have demolished the works here in Apalachicola Bay, an

deracy and the two powers just named — have been suffered the remain inoperative against the menaces and outrages on neutral rights committed by the United States with unceasing and progressing arrogance during the whole period of the war. Neutral Europe remained passive when the United States--with a naval force insufficient to blockade effectively the coast of a single State--proclaimed a paper blockade of thousands of miles of coast, extending from the Capes of the Chesapeake to those of Florida and to Key West, and encircling the Gulf of Mexico to the mouth of the Rio Grande. Compared with this monstrous pretension of the United States, the blockades known in history under the names of the Berlin and Milan Decrees and the British Orders in Council, in the years 1806 and 1807, sink into insignificance. Yet those blockades were justified by the powers that declared them on the sole ground that they were retaliatory; yet those blockades have since been condemned by the publicists o

doubtful of my authority to take the step, while your body is in session. Not wishing to exercise any doubtful authority when your presence and approbation may so easily make it certain, I most respectfully recommend that I be authorized immediately to call out such portion of the militia as may be deemed sufficient to meet the present emergency. I have the honor herewith to transmit copies of resolutions on various subjects, of the Legislatures of the States of South-Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, forwarded to me by their respective Executives, with a request that they be laid before you. The most important of these relates to the proposition of guaranteeing to each State of its proportion of the confederate war debt, and to these I invite your early and deliberate attention. I am also pleased to be able to inform you that the correspondence conducted by me with the War Department at your request, in relation to the burning of cotton in Eastern North-Carolina, was en

of this expedition was to occupy Jacksonville, and make it the base of operations for arming the negroes, and securing, in this way, possession of the entire State of Florida. It gives me pleasure to report, that so far the objects of the expedition have been fully accomplished. The town is completely in our possession, and mad. It is my belief that scarcely an incident in this war, has caused a greater panic throughout the whole Southern coast, than this raid of the colored troops in Florida. The negroes are collecting at Jacksonville from all quarters. I am, sir, with great respect, R. Saxton, Brigadier-General of Volunteers. New-York times account. Port Royal, Wednesday, March 18, 1863. In a late letter, I furnished a meagre account of an expedition of colored troops to Florida. A recent arrival from the scene of operations puts me in possession of details which are interesting, and promise important results. The troops left Beaufort on the sixth instant,

came here and occupied Jacksonville under the most auspicious circumstances for the speedy acquisition of the entire State of Florida. There were known to be less than three thousand rebel troops in the State; and all who were conversant with the afccupation until we were prepared to hold it as a base of aggressive operations into the interior. It is the key to East-Florida, and its occupation by us would have immediately compelled the rebel abandonment of all the territory east of the St. Jos inflicted, and Col. Higginson was the last person from whom I expected it. If Gen. Hunter had desired to do the State of Florida and the cause of freedom and Union in the South the greatest injury — if he wished to paralyze the patriotism and dehe loyal sentiment placed at the mercy of the common enemy. Now this place — the best and most flourishing town in East-Florida, and the only place whose citizens and property-holders were generally loyal — has been irretrievably ruined, and its pe<
