From later and fuller details of the
battle at olustee, ten miles beyond San
derson, Fla, on the 2Oth ult., we learn
that our loss was 1900 killed, wounded
and prisoners. 1t seems that Gen. Sey.
moQE bad but $500 men in the main
fght7against Is, 600 rebels. The rebel
Gen. Gardner had selected a position Of
peculiar advantage, which would force
Gen, Seymour, if he gave battle, to take
position t between two swamp, "a cutting
off his retreat, and exposing our troops
to 3 flank fire from the enemy. the other
preventing a charge ; and the railroad,
along, which our troops marched, would
be, separated from them by a swamp waste
deep in wafer, the reserve on the other
side Of the track, and the supplies on the
road Gen. Seymour marched our brave
troops towards This slaughter pen in three
columns, without skirmishers, although
repeatedly informed that the enemy were
in position but few miles in advance
With the utmost eq%uanimIty' he marched
our troops into the trap and saw them
shot down by force nearly double in
number, and after permitting himself to be
~ambushed, established them between the
two sgamps as indicated above. The
shaFprshooters did fearful work among
our brave boys, from among the tall pines
where they were concealed, making our
batteries useless, five guns had to be alb
andonea, all the horses and men being
disabled. lis reported that the 8lh u,
S. Y, colored, Col Fribley, were pushed
to the front and lost $50 men in twenty
minutes. The fight lasted two hours,
The field was left in possession of the
enemy many Of our wounded hadtto be
left and aahabty retreat only secured by
the arrival Of a small reinforcement.
This is a sad back-set to our cause in
Florida, and we hope that Gen. Seymour
will be severely deal with for his crimi-
nal negligence in not throwing out
skermisAsrs when marching ayowedly in
search of a, fight. Jacksonville is still
held BY our .forOes, but The town Of Bald
