Saint Marys River (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 2
The late fight in Florida. A dispatch dated Lake City, Fla., February 24th, says that the enemy have abandoned their position on the St. Mary's river, and are retreating to their gunboats. Our loss in the late fight is put down at thirty-five killed and from 700 to 800 wounded. --The enemy's loss is estimated to have been between 2, 5000 and 3,000. The enemy's force is said to have numbered about 10,000 men of all arms, whilst ours would not exceed 4,000. Two of their negro regiments were placed in front, and urged on at the point of the bayonet. At a distance they withstood our fire, but as our lines advanced they broke in confusion. More than one-half of the two negro regiments are reported to have been killed and left dead on the field. The prisoners taken represent their forces as much demoralized by the result of the fight, an unusual proportion of their loss having been in officers. The number of small arms captured in this fight was sixteen hundred.
