five hundred strong and under Gen. Finna-

through. The rebels had intended to take
up the rails preparatory to an abandonment
of Florida.
Lake city is half way from Jacksonville
to Tallahassee.
Finnagen, before leaving carried off all
of the rebel Government property, and
there was reason to believe that the enemy,
IL he fights at all, will take a position on the
left bank of the Swanee river, which is not
fordable, and will have to be pontooned or
bridged. r.
Up to the 14th we had captured thirteen
cannon.
Barbour's Station and Sanderson, the lat

ABOLITION PATRIoTIsM TESTED. = The
Mount Vernon Banner of Saturday says
that ''in Butler township, Knox county, as
in every other township in the State, there
exista lot of cheap patriots, of the Loyal
Abolition persuasion, who are always boast
ing that they are ready to spend their Ias'
dollar and spill their last drop of blood to
carry on the existing war. Some Of the
young Democrats down there, for the pur-
pose of testing the honesty and sincerity Of
these Abolition bloviators, proposed that
they would come up to Mt. Vernon and vol
unteer, if the Abolitionists would do like
WISE But as might be expected, the Abo-
litionists, with one or two exceptions
squarely backed out. One Abolitionist
however, named Morgan Fawcett, son OF
Samuel Fawcett, violent war man, who Is
pretty well known in this county, volun-
teered. But the young gentleman had
scarcely enrolled his name before his patri-
otto daddy, in high state of excitement,
came up by express to Mount Vernon, to
have his sons name stricken from the ROLL
Not finding the proper persons there to
grant him relief off he posted to Newark
by the first train; and after using argu-
ments which Abolitionists only know how
to use, he succeeded in the object of his
mission, and brought his son back to the
shelter of the paternal root, where his deli
cate person will be more secure than in
facing rebel bullets.
cold man Fawcett can now breathe freer
and DEEPER and can resume his insults and
abuse Of Democrats, and especially the
fathers and friends of the young Democrats
who have volunteered in his neighborhood,
by calling them "Copperheads," Secession
ists,' 'rebel sympathisers," &c.

Gratis who stood fire. like men, and didn't
try to sneak out like the Fawcetts, are l.

SMALL Pox.-The Cincinnati Enquirer
states that the dreadful and loathsome dis
ease smallpox is prevailing in that city to
very considerable, if not an alarming ex-
tent. The medical faculty of the city are
unanimous in declaring that itnever existed
to such fearful degree in Cincinnati as at
the present time, and their time is constant
ly employed in attending upon patients
afflicted with this terrible malady and in
vaccinating those who have thus far escaped
the disease, old and young, large and small
Vaccine matter has become scarce, and many
physicians have run completely out, while
number are anxious to procure the regu-
lar COW pox virus with which to vaccinate
and have accordingly addressed the City
Council on the subject. The petition, signed
by Drs. George Fries, X. II. Moore, and
others was presented to the Council on Fri
day. 1t asked for an appropriation of a
proper sum, say $500, to be intrusted to 6
Board of Medical Practitioners, with au.
thority to procure effective vaccine matter
either by reward for owners of cows hav.
ing the cow-pox, or to persons primarily
vaccinated, with matter obtained from af'
fected cows. The petitioners say:
1t is the unanimous opinion of the medi.
cal faculty, both in this country and Europe
that vaccine matter becomes useless, an6
frequently injurious, disseminating other
diseases when obtained from children Sec
ondarily vaccinated.
The petition was referred to the Board Of
Health with instructions to report thereon
The smallpox is also prevailing in Indi-
annapolis. A dispatch to the Enquirer states
that two hundred cases are reported to the
Board Of Health. The disease is spreading
1t is in the Jail, in the camps, in several o.
the public houses, and in every Ward in the
city. There are two or three cases in the
immediate vicinity of Governor Morton's
residence.

To THE FRIENDS OF IRISH NATIONALITY.
AS has been noticed in the public prints,
Fair will be held in Chicago, commencing
on Easter Monday, March 2Sth, (and con-
tinuing through the week. for the purpose
of raising pecuniary means to forward the
object Of the Fenian Brotherhood, which is
nothing more nor less than the redemption
of Ireland from the despotic yoke of for
eign Government and placing her in the
attitude she was destined to occupy amongst
the nations Of the earth. In the name OF
Liberty, then, we appeal to the generous
sympathy Of every lovero of Freedom to as
sist us in carrying out this grand design,
and of placing one more in the glorious
galaxy of nations that now adorn the earth
Bleeding Poland, with not half the advan-
tages that Irishmen now possess, is strug-
Cling with the Autocrat of Russia for her
lost liberties, and shall not Irishmen emulate
/, her example, or shall they lay supinely
and hug the chains with which they are
bound and kiss the hand that inficts the
punishment? God forbid! Rather rend
the chains asunder and fling back the bro
ken links in the face of the oppressor, than
submit to this worse than Egyptian bond
age. To free, then, a generous people, this
appeal is made in behalf of the Fenian
Brotherhood. To carry out the object in
view, the following persons are appointed
by the committee of Safety to cavass the
different Wards in the city of Columbus:
Miss Isabella Maley, Jane Kehoe, Mrs
MilliH, Miss Mary McGill, Miss Jane Nc
Cullagh, Miss Anne Walsh, Miss Catherine
McC3n, Miss Anne McHale, Miss Catherine

martial, of which General N. c. Mclean is

r. w. Caldwell, First Ohio Heavy Artillery,
for short time in command Of the military
post at Cincinnati. The following is an abb
stract of the charges:
/. Presenting claims against the Govern
ment Of the United States, knowing the
same to be false and fraudulent.
2. Aiding in obtaining the payment Of
claims against the United States Govern
ment knowing the same to be false.

Judge Whitman, presented written state
ment declaring himself innocent of the

| ACCIDENTAL DEATH.-We learn from the
Circleville Democrat of last week, that
Strouse Cox, of Pickaway county, private
lin Co. E, 6sth o. v. l., came to his death in
an unfortunate manner, on the 4th of Jan.
last. He was on detached service at Gen.
eral McP Pherson's Headquarters, Vicksburg
Miss, as a teamster. On the evening o.
January Sd, he got on one of his mules, and
started for the camp of his regiment, about
two miles distant to visit his comrades
The night being dark, he missed the way
and very suddenly and Unexpectedly came
upon guard, who challenged him to halt
Cox Immediately endeavored to comply
with the summons, but the mule frightened
atlthe guard, and attempted to run off, when
the guard thinking the rider was trying tc
escape, fired, the ball passing through Cox's
right arm and thence entering his body in
the region of the stomach. He was imme-
diately taken care Of and every effort made
to save his life, but in vain--he died in about
ltwenty-four hours. His last request wal
that his friends should be informed of hi
4 death, and that he died in the cause of hi
4 country. He was buried with militar.
4 honors at Vicksburg, His fellow w-soldicr
bear willing testimony TO his gallantry an,
noble patriotism. t
