Washington, March 29.-The following dis
patch from General Saxton forms the most inn
portant contribution yet made to the solution of
the problem offered by the rebellion. 1t should
be remembered that General Saxton is a thor
ough military man, not originally exempt from
the prejudices Of other officers Of the army, and
that it is purely as military man that he bears
this testimony to the triumphant success Of the
policy Of arming the escaped slaves:

Florida, consisting of the first regiment South
Carolina volunteers Colonel Higgnson COM
manding, and portion Of the I'd South Carolina
volunteers, under Colonel Montgomery, captur-
ed and took possession of the town Of Jackson
vile, on Tuesday, the 10th inst.
"As stated in my last report to you, the OBJ
iect Of the expedition was to occupy Jackson
willie and make it the base Of operations for arm
ing the negroes, and securing in this way pos
session Of the entire State of Florida. 1t gives
me pleasure TO report that so far the objects of
the expedition have been fully accomplished
The town is completely in our possession, with
many prisoners. There has been constant skir-
misbing going on for several days, and in dar-
tile utmost bravery. Never in single instance
can I learn that they have finched. 1t is my
belief that scarcely an incident in this war has
caused greater panic throughout the Southern
coast than this raid ofthe colored troops in Flor

from all quarters.
