From .EncI,sonriIIe. FIorEdn.

A passenger direct from the seat OK war in
Florida gives us the following information
The Federalists have now at Jacksonville but
500 men, 500 at st. Augustine, and 1000 at
Fernandina.
There are three gunboats lying at Jackson
viIle-two at the wharf and one out in the stree m.
When the Yankees first landed, but few Of the
inhabitants had left the place. but Immediately a
stampede ensned, all leaving except some Of
decided Yankee procivities.
As a general thing the Yankees have abstained
from injuring the property abandoned, but those
who have taken the most active part in the war
are suffering severely from their depredations.
One widow lady has two sons aud two sons
in-law IN the Confederate seTYice-her only re-
naming son IA mere boy and one-armed) fired
upon the Yankee officers when they landed.
This lady has lost her house, land, negroes, stock
and even her household furniture.
The houses in Jacksonville have, some of them,
4 been given to the negroes
From two Yankee prisoners, taken the other
night by our pickets, the troops were informed
/ that il WAS not the intention Of the enemy to
march any further into the interior, but merely
/ to hold these seaports in order to render the
/ blockade efectual, and to get as much Of our
4 property as possible into their hands.
The cars and all railroad stock were saved, and
/ are now running regularly as far down toward
1 Jacksonville as our encampment, which is about
I FIVE miles from the town.
! Our troops are in fine spirits and eager to give
/ them brush.-SaUaHRah NeJoS,

The BuIIle at Newbern Both Armies
Whipped!

1De dispatches published in our paper yes
terday from the North, state that the Federals at
Newbern hoisted the white flag in token of sur
render, tuiee, but the Confederates, not seeing
it, run as hard as they could the other way. and
lett the tederals victorious in spite of them
selves How mortifyiDg this reflection must be
to any gallant son Of the Old North State. for
gallant are her people, and her troops have often
proved themselves so on many well fought
field. Whose fault was it that victory did not
perch upon the southern banner Why, the oft
told tale-the officers who led the Confederate
troops into actiOni Had they done their duty,
tue Federal army at Newbern would to-day be
prisoners in the Old North State.
The fears Of the Eederals maguifed our forces
to double their actual number. Thew ssv we
had over 1900 men in the field, when the truth
is, we had barely 1000. The dispatch leaves no
doubt that our troops had only to l1iH It. and
they would have achieved glorious victory at
Newbern, in spite of the odds The Fedsrals
were actually whipped, and all our troops had to
do was to have received their submission. But
the North Carolina troops went into that fight
believing success impossible against such odds,
and therefore when the pinch came, both be-
heving they were whipped, the Federals dis
played the white flag and the North Caroiuians
made tracks for the interior. Both were whipped.
All that was wanted at that crisis to extinguish
forever this Burnside expedition which is now
most imminently threatening the integrity of the
Confederate States and cover the Old North
State with immortal glory, was the simple de-
termination to win the fight
With what regret and chagrin will kpowl-
edge of these facts fill the brave volunteers who
fought at Newbern. They fought well Fifteen
hundred slain aud wounded Federals attest their
yalor All that was wanted to change that scene
Of hurried, griefstrieken and disastrous fight,
to save thousands of property and to guarantee
the horror r-stricken mothers and babes OF that i'll
tated town in the possession of their homes (says
the Macon Telegraph was just one grain more
of confidence in themselves Had the officers
maintained their GOODNESS and equaninity, we
think they would have seen the surrender Of the
flags of the Yankees, which were twice displayed
to the breeze. But no They were conscious
only of the comparative Ettleness of their force
and the mischief it had sustained. They did
not believe they could whip the indomitable in
Vader
Alas, these things do not look like serious
struggle for independence and selfpreservatiOn.
1t is not the kind of fighting which will save
either.

"a Reports having been circulated that Mrs
James X. Polk received visits from the Federal
officers at Nashville, and treated them with q
courtesy that ought not to be extended TO the
invaders, a correspondent of the Atlanta Con-
Jetsracy correctly remarks that she cannot be
censured for exhibiting cold politeness to such
officers when they call to pay their respects, es-
pecialIy as many of them are old acquaintances,
and some received their appointments from her
husband during his Presidential term. He
showed by extracts from northern papers, that
she has never sought TO conceal her sympathy
for the southern cause, although she deeply re-
grets the necessity Of the present war and the
causes which produced it."
Mrs Polk cannot well regard the visits of the
Federal officers in any other light than as cour-
teOus acknowledgements Of her dignIhed position
and personal worth, and it would be unwOmanly
in her to repel them with insult or taunt. In
deed we doubt whether any of the ladies OF the
South are called upon, by any true instinct OF
patriotism to treat mere cOurtesleS from the enemy
with seoru or contempt. 1t wOnld be doing vio-
lence to their nature, without accomplishing any
practical good.

The Battle OF NeyYbern Killed and
WnnmdRd.


The editor of the Raleigh North Cardinal
gives the following as the result Of the late battle
The whole of our losses IN the hands OF the
enemy are-killed, 45 wounded, So prisoners,
202; tOtal, 302.
These, with two or three dead, brought away
by their comrades, constitute our entire loss,
The loss of the enemy is uncertain Our flag
of truce party learned from Yankee officers on
Monday last that their loss in killed and wound
ed was from seventeen hundred to two thousand
This may be somewhat extrayagant but the
loss was undoubtedly heavy.
Up to latest accounts no movements had been
made by the enemy. The enemy's pickles. were
out to the distance Of from six to ten miles from
Kingston, where our forces are.
The damage to the town of Newben was
slight The Yankees were plundering in all di-
recrions, and were little more than a drunken
mob. They were pillaging all round the neigh
Misunderstanding negroes, robbing hen-roosts,
driving off stock, etc.
Considerable reinforcenents had arrived at our
headquarters, and were continuing 70 arrive
We deem it impolitic to record the movements of
our troops or to mention our defenses.
Gen Gatlin had been superseded by Gen. An
derson, and Gen. Anderson had Joined Gen.
Branch in the command of the brgades. Gen.
French has been ordered to Wilmington for
duty. The most vigorous movements, internally
and externally, characterize our army in the
Newbern district
Cotton and naval stores were being destroyed
in large quantities on the line Of the enemy's
supposed advance. The enemy had made no
advance from Newbern.

A letter received here by a gentleman (a
refugee) from his mother, now in Nashville, has
been kindly placed at our disposal From it we
are permitted to make the subjoined extracts, as
being interesting to our readers, and which may
be given without perpetrating ian outrage" or
doing that which sensitive, enviOus, Overwhelm-
ing vanity may magnify into being "akin to
treason" The letter also contains other matter,
which it would be gratifying to the public to be
made acquainted with, but having higher sense
Of prOpriety than to "kold that no harm can
come of publishing everything that the press
can get hold Of" we withhold it. The letter is
dated at Nashville, March 18th, and the writer
says:
We have exciting times here, the Yankees
being as numerous as flies in summer time; the
river is perfectly alive with boats and ferryboats
and the Yankees pushing everything with des-
peTate energy. The troops that have passed
through here could hardly be counted, and there
seems to be nc end to the trains Of artillery and
cannon. Even while am writing four cannon
are passing with ten horses to each one. Army
wagons are also passing continually, and there
are hundreds of sick soldiers coming in every
day. All other business except that in which
the Yankees are engaged is at perfect stand
still They are busily employed in repairing the
Chattanooga railroad, and have an engine run
ming on it.
81 good many deserters are coming in every
day, and have taken the oath of allegiance,
some of them from Hawkins company. Your
old acquaintance J J-and Ben have both
deserted, and the latter has joined the 18th Ohio
regiment.
+" The enemy has been encsmped about three
miles from the city, but have advanced TO Muir
freesbOro. Skirmishing is going on to cOnsid-
erable extent every night, but with what results
l cannot tell. On Friday morning we heard the
firing quite plain, from which / think the skir-
mishing was very heavy. Our boys are on the
alert, and viii keep them busy protecting their
exposed points.
Andy Johnson arrived in town last week,
and viii be our future Governor. hear that he
is going to call out the militia. Dr. Harris has
left us. GDr Harris was he Episcopal minister.
ED. CON- He was arrested last Sunday a
week ago and told that he must pray for the
President of the United States, and no other, on
peril of bis life. He said be would suffer death
frst so he is gone. All the churches are closed.

men into service, but l hope you may not be
compelled to go. My kind love and blessing to

FoRTmACON AND THE NASHVILLE,

The Wilmington IN. C.) Journal contradiets
the report by way of Fortress Monroe, in regard
to the alleged capture Of the steamer Nashville
and the blowing up of Fort Macon Where the
Nashville is, II says, we need not say, but may
say that she was not burned in Beaufort harbor,
but is safe. Neither has Fort Macon been blown
up. At the last accounts number of the ene-
my's gunboats-some say fourteen, were at
Rogue Inlet, opposite the mouth Of White Oak
river. which forms the dividing line between the
counties Of Onslow and Cateret, and is about
twenty miles to the south of Fort Macon. A
land force either landed from the boats or march
ed down from Newbern, has taken possession Of
Swansboro, small town near the mouth Of
White Oak river The immediate object of this
movement seems to be to cut 0tf Fort Macon from
communication with the coast country to the
south, and thus gradually invest that work.
It is very evident that these northern reports
must be taken with many, very many grains Of
allowance
