"couldn't see it, On Monday, according 10
the Savannah Republican, an engagement took
place between the Confederate light batteries
and the Federal gunboats. The Republican
says: 'sWe have no particulars, except that
there was no loss on our side, and we poured
the shot and shell into the enemy for some
considerable time, it is hoped with good effect.
FROM the negro raid into Florida we look for
nothing serious. We only hope that the enemy
will take it into their heads to concentrate their
entire force of .tAmerican citizens of African
descent at Jacksonville. 1t will prove a great
convenience to the owners of those deluded
victims. They will then have some prospect
OF recovering their stolen property, provided
they can be got tar enough from the gnnboats
TO be caught. The idea of their doing any
serious fighting against white men is simply
ridiculous. We hope Mr.. Thayer will succeed
