points not made Ineligible by the reports. 1t is

asked for nor is it demonstrated to have been i'm
possible to have saved the army by evacuating the
position nor is it known by what means it was
found practicable to withdraw part of the garri-
son. leaving the remainder to surrender; nor upon
what authority or principle Of action the senior
generals abandoned responsibility by transferring
the command to a junior officer. '

Florida Items.

From all we learn from persons lately arrived,
the affairs of Florida are in amentable condition,
owing to the ineficiency of the officers in COM
mand With the exception Of Col. Dewd, of the
Mississippi Regiment, none Of the officers were
worthy Of their position. The men were eager for
fight, but were held back by their commanders.
Gen. Trapier has met with the condemnation of
every man, woman and child in Florida, and has
been hooted at along the route he travelled.
: In despite of these adverse circumstances,
brilliant action was performed by a company of
Col. Davis Regiment, First Florlda "a Cayalry. rms
position on bluff on the St. Mary's river, and
waited the approach of Federal gunboat. AS
they approached, man at her masthead, espying
sad Re
are u, With that he raised his rifle and the look
ont dropped dead on the deck from hislofty perch.
Clarke's men then gave three cheers, fired yoey,
killed and wounded. The gunboat not being able
to contend with our men thus adVantageousy
posted, retreated discounted.
The eyaucation. of Fernandina was conducted
very badly, and much was lost owing to the ineff-
cheney of the Colonel in command. Ex-senator
Yulee, President of the Florida Railroad, was I'M
tring in his efforts to save the property OF the ct
zens. He was the last man to leave Fernandina,
and was on the train that was fred on he es-
capped by great efforts, and projected an expedition
on Monday night to bring off the tram that had
been left, which would have been entirely success
full had not the railroad bridge been set on fire by
order Of Col. Hopkins, in command, Just as the
train reached it. All the Florida troops need to
ensure success is a worthy commander.
At last accounts battle was, being fought on
the mainland between the Federasts, 3ooo strong
and our forces numbering about 20Q0. There Is
no doubt that we shall take the whole Federal
force if Gen. Trapier does not order retreat,
Such are a few items we have gathered from
those recently from Florida. .zz
We forgot to mention that the steamer St. Mary,
Capt Freeborn, is safe in the st: Johns river. 1t
ia said that she has been taken far up that river
and there sunk by the gallant captain. Had it not
been for the sagacity Of Capt. Freeborn. the ST.
Mary's would have been taken on Sunday morn
ing, when the first Federal steamer made her ap
[ pearance, flying French flag, in distress. Itwas
proposed to him to go out to the assistance of th!
pretendedy distressed steamer. Capt. Freeborr
look a good look at her through his glass ant
quickly observed that he.was not to be caught il
that way, because he was sure she was Yanket
build. 1t was then that LeutCo Holland ant
eight men put off to her in boat, and were caugh
and taken prisoners by this base stratagem OF the
unscrupulous Yankee. [savannah Republican

Louisiana Regiment, who so gaanty fell at the

they start this week to join Gen. Beauregard.

we have our latest intelligence from the upper
liver.
reports from scouts had been made at Island
No. 30 that Columbus had been occupied in force
by the iNederals and that their advance guard had
reached hickman, KY, by land. The amount Of
the occupying force was unknown.
On Saturday last a fleet of gun and mortar boats
anchored above island No. 10, and fred number
some time, evidently for the purpose of ascertain
ing the range OF their pieces, they retired. But
two shots were fired from tho island. No casual
ties on either side attended the affair.
Loter.-The Clara Dolsen, from Hptonville,
arrived last evening. The Federas continued a
slow fire on Sunday from their heavy guns. Seve-
raj shells, thrown some two miles and half,
exploded over the island, without doing any dam
age. No response was made from Hur batteries.
