--The Savannah
News, of Wednesday last, says:
‘
An officer of the 7th Florida infantry, who arrived by the
Gulf train last night, reports that he left
Lake City on last Sunday evening. He says that information had been received by the military authorities there that the
Yankees had landed a force at
Palatka.
The force landed at that point is not known, but it was rumored that it was large.
Gen. Finegan had dispatched forces to meet them, consisting of cavalry, infantry and artillery.
Our pickets in front of
Jacksonville confirm the previous intelligence that the greater portion of the enemy's troops had left that place.
Everything continued quiet in the neighborhood of
Jacksonville.
