stols also, but with no damage other than slightly wounding a horse that was hitched about 250 yards from the edge of the bluff. Oar men fired from one to five shots each. One of them, a volunteer, a noted hunter and excellent marksman, fired five times, and each time selected his man — the one with the most brass buttons on, as he expressed it. After each shot, he did not again get a glimpse of his object. An hour intervened, when the boat was attacked again by Captain Lang's (of Camden county) company, who were similarly ambuscaded on a bluff about eight miles distant. One of the volunteers of Colonel Davis's mounted regiment shot both barrels of his gun, loaded with wire cartridges of "blue whistlers," or buckshot, into a group of four of the Federals on deck, about sixty yards from his position, and saw no more of them after he fired. A negro who had been a prisoner of the Yankees, and escaped from Amelia Island to the camp near Fernandina, states that he was made

The enemy were not in the city but on board their vessels in the harbor--Eight Yankee soldiers were engaged gathering oysters within musket ra ge from the bank, and the temptation induced one of our men, a printer, belonging to the Jackson Artillery, who had accompanied the expedition, to pull trigger on them and killed one of the party.

n current that the troops in Florida are to be withdrawn. We are credibly informed that such is not the case, and that they are not only to remain, but every man in the State is determined to come to their aid and fight to the death. Florida, though a young State, will do her share, and can bring into the field her quota of good marksmen. Picket firing. Between 6 and 7 o'clock Tuesday evening, a Yankee barge, containing some eight or ten men, was discovered by our pickets, in Augustine creek supposed to be taking soundings or reconnoitering. Two of the picke's fired at them, and one was seen to fall. The enemy returned the fire, but missed their mark.--They then hurried back. Capt. Rockwell's company, stationed at a battery near by, went to the assistance of the pickets on hearing the firing. About midnight, the Federals returned and commenced an attack.

An outside people in dress, houses, professions, polities, morals, religion, and philanthropy! "We are a Christian people," quoth Burnside and Goldaborough, "and fully alive to the responsibilities, of that character." Bang rear their heavy cannon, and whit go the bombshells into boat loads of women and children, giving a solemn Amen to their meek sad humble assumption to themselves of the merciful and humane virtues of Christianity.

Rebecca Chandler, a white girl, was arraigned for trespassing on the premises of Robert Gary, and destroying his property. It appeared that to get to her residence she has to pass through the garden of Gary, and while in the act of so doing, a few nights since, with a companion, the couple were ordered out by Gary — a command which they refused to obey, and retorted on him by pulling up and throwing at his person a few turnips, and perhaps other vegetables. Thus was Gary's property destroyed by the erratic Miss Chandler. The Mayor announced his intention of sending her to jail, but it is presumed he did not. Edward, slave of John D. Quarles, was ordered to be whipped for throwing stones in the streets. It is a pity the Mayor did not have the power to order a good many of the white urchins the same punishment for similar offences.

The witness, an honest, simple looking chap, identified the accused as one of your men who assaulted, robbed him, and after wards recovered his watch, and pistol from him; but the money had been handed over to a confederate.
