It has cleared the country East of the Johns of rebels, has relieved and encouraged the Unionists of Florida, and has put into the hands of the Government not less than worth of property in cotton and cattle. A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph, writing from Tallahassee under date of the 15th instant, gives the following interesting items from Florida: There cannot be many Yankee troops now in Jacksonville.

The Jacksonville (Fia,) Peninsula, a Yankee paper established since the occupation of that town, has advertisements by Jas Remington, "U S Marshal," to sell the property of Hon David L Yuice, Gen Jas Flanagan, and other. The same paper contains the following history of Birney's devastating raid into Florida: On Tuesday, April 28, Gen Birney having received information from scouts and deserters of an intended rebel movement across the river St Johns, and having also collected accurate detailed as to the localities where cotton and cattle were to be found, left Jacksonville and ascended the river as far as Welaka, 110 miles from the mouth. On his way up he stationed pickets at every point where the enemy could have possibly crossed the river, to protect his communication, and to guard against the laying of torpedoes.

A detachment of the 17th Connecticut also joined us from Volusia. We captured next day a rebel messenger which important letters relating to blockade runners, the perusal of which determined the General to push on rapidly to Sunday evening, May 1st, where we camped.

A considerable quantity was captured, and in the Lagoon, a short distance from the town, we took two schooners, blockade runners, from Nassau. They were both crammed with cotton and their decks were maded with it. These vessels, the Fannie and the Shell, were eventuality sent to Jacksonville, and the cotton take in charge of by the Treasury Agency. I took passage on one of t
