tice of their return, and Capt. Strain, who had command of the guard, arranged his little force to meet them. The correspondent thus describes the result. The first boat fell an easy prey, coming incautiously up to the landing, a volley of Enfield halls soon silenced the party. Somebody was hurt this time, and the commanding officers of each of the steamers, Capt Mather and Lieut. Budd, were each found pierced by half a dozen balls a piece, each of which alone would have been fatal. Thrack, but with a raking fire of grasp and shell from a six- pound howitzer on board one of the launches and from the Henry Andrews, they strove hard to pass under the opposite bank, but it was of to use; though they were nearly 400 yards off, our Enfield bullets whistled about them, and they deserted the boats and took to the bushes, but only 8 or 10 were seen to land. Under cover of night they removed their dead and wounded, but this morning we recovered four more of their boats, which were co
New Smyrna (Florida, United States) (search for this): article 4
The fight at New Smyrna, Fla. --A correspondent of the Floridian and Journal gives an account of the recent brush at New Smyrna, in which two Federal navy officers, Captain Mather and Lieut. Budd, with a considerable number of man, were killed. The bodies of the two officers, as our readers are aware, arrived at Washington, D. C., a few days ago. It appears that six Yankee launches with eight or ten men in each, went up the river either on a stealing expedition or in search of Union sentiments. In the afternoon of the same day our advance pickets gave notice of their return, and Capt. Strain, who had command of the guard, arranged his little force to meet them.

cover of night they removed their dead and wounded, but this morning we recovered four more of their boats, which were completely riddled, and the large quantity of blood indicated a fearful loss of life. We also found and secured their brass gun and a number of pistole, muskets, cutlasses, and other articles, which they had left in their hasty retreat. We buried the four dead men in our hands in one grave this morning, but a flag of truce was sent ashore and their bodies asked for. Captain Bird gave them until sundown to open the grave; the two officers were removed, the poor sailors were tumbled back unceremoniously into their nameless tomb. Thus ended our first brush with the enemy; our boys have smelled powder now and silenced cannon with rifles, and come out without loss of life or limb. The Yankees have found some of the English goods they were in search of — a few leaden bullets, and will be more careful how they sail up our little river where they are likely to meet
