Capture Of Cedar Keys. \
s{f1s
Tile Savannah News Of the ed has the follow

f+s "A (
s a gentleman just arrived from Florida Informs
us that the town Of Cedar Keys, Florida, situated
at the western or gulf terminus Of the Florida
on Thursday last, Cedar Keys is d small town
with about thirty houses, and probably one hun
dred inhabitants The bar has nine feet water, and
isl good harbor for small vessels. All the time the
Yankeesdook the place HERE were threesschooners
loading and five fishing smacks at the Wharves.
Our informant, who had an interest in one OF the
5schoonefs,4 which was loaded with lumber and
turp antne feels confident that the owners of the
vessels il port destroyed them rather than that
they should fall into the hands Of the enemy. Some
time since the Confederate troops were withdrawn
from Che vicinity Of Cedar Keys 81 NJ
On Thursday night last, AZ coon as it was ascer-
tanned that tie Yankees intended to attack the
town, Mi. Ynlee, President Of the Railroad, went
down with two companies Of Infantry to protect
the property ii the vicinity and check the Yankee
advance. A messenger from Cedar Keys was sent
to GAINESVILLE, Florida The nearest telegraph office,
attacked the town, and asking him to send assist
5ance. During ThuTsday firing in the direction Of
Cedar Keys was heard in the adjacent country, and
d conflict had no doubt taken place between the
Yankees and the Florida troops.
u FRoM RELoW There were only three blOckad-
ing vessels below last evening. Que Of them left
yesterday morning and steamed toward Port Royal.
For some days past Federal camp fires have been
seen on Tybee Island, within reach of the guns of
Fort Pulaski, and yesterday forenoon few shells
were thrown from the fort Id their neighbOrhood,
but with what effect is not known. There are no
Fedefals seen on the island, except their picket
guard !, and; they keep well concealed and beyond
the reach of our guns. II; e i 81 II.

On that account wished him, as q prisoner,

come under my observation on China Station,
in 1858. He was distinguished while In com.

my. On Saturday and Sunday a small party
Was prowling around the country on the oppo.
cite side of the Pamunky, sheir object being to
await an opportunity to destroy the shipping at

G. H., Saturday, and to-day is reported in the
neighborhood Of Williamsburg ~
Ten Of the most prominent citizens remaining
on this side of the Chickahominy, have been
arrested. They undoubtedly gave information
upon which the rebels have operated on our

Gen, Hunter and his Contrabnnd
Regiment.

WARRINGTON, June 17.--several days ago q
resolution was passed by the House inquiring Of
the Secretary Of War whether Gen. Hunter has
organized regiment of negroes, fugitive
slaves, etc., for the defense of the Union. Sec
retary Stsnton's reply to this resolution is 70
the effect that the Department has no official In
formation on the subject In order to ascertain
If the information is true, copy of the House
resolution has been transmitted TO Gen. Hunter
to make report thereon.
The Secretary adds, that Hunter was not au-
thorized to organize q regiment, but on his
requisition arms and clothing had been sent to
the forces under his command, without instruc-
tions as to the manner in which they are to be
used. He has not been furnished with them to
be placed in the hands Of slaves and black fu.
gitlves,
As to that part of the resolution calling
for orders and correspondence between Gen.
Hunter and the Department, the President In
structs the Secretary to say that such 0 report
at this time would be improper and incompat-
BILE with the public service. ....... ..
