Florida News.

New YORK, March "Details are publish
ed of the late battle in Florida. Our force was
$500 infantry, 400 cavalry and 20 cannon
The enemy is reported $4,000, posted be-
tween sWamps, protected by earth works and
rife pits The report that no skirn.ishers
were thrown out is untrue. After our de-
feat we retreated in good order. The rebels
were commanded by General Gardiner, Of
Port Hudson fame.
General Vodges arrived at Jacksonville and
would take charge of the defenees there. There
is no confirmation of the reported arrest OF
General Seymour probably untrue.
An expedition up the st. Mary's river has
captured half a million feet of seasoned yellow
pine timber.
A raid to Georgia destroyed a number of
ferry boats at the main ferries in that part Of
the country.
A small force took possession of Gaines
vile, Florida, and threw open the rebel store
houses to the starving people Of the place, be-
sides repulsing a party Of the enemy sent
against them,
After holding possession so hours
our men retired. The gunboats Pawnee,
Mohawk, Ottawa, and Norwich are at Jack
sonvile.
Correspondents say the morale Of our men
is unimpared, and their willingness to meet
the enemy is as perfect as ever.
After a few days rest they will move
against him, if he dares to advance.

By the arrival of the steamer Bremen at
New York, we have foreign news to the 18th
ult., which is four days later than the advi-
ces peviousIy received. There is little that
il new respecting the Danish question, except
the fact that Prussia objects to the clause in
the proposed armistice which permits the
Danes to retain tho Island Of Alsen. This
island is only separated from the Schleswig
shore by the ferry; but the Danish gunboats
can cover theSfanks Of the army which has
retreated there. There are about l6,00e Dan
ish troops on the Island, the remainder Of their
forces have retreated to JutlHnd. The Sound
of Alsen is about one hundred and fifty yards
broad, and the works, very strong by nature,
which may be considered as a tete-de pont, are
armed with heavy guns, and cross their fire
with that of the works on the island at points
in front OF the line of defense, which must be
occupied by an offensive force. In the Aus
trian Parliament the Emperor said that Aus
.ria and Prussia had done their best to prevent
a war between Denmark and the German
Confederation but it having broken out, they
had occupied Shleswig as pledge. The po-
sition of England in relation to the Danish
question was briefly stated by Lord Palmer
ston in the House of Commons on the 18th
ult. He said that he had proposed protocol
which should be signed in London, Denmark
agreeing to revoke the obnoxious constitution
as soon as the Parliament could be assembled
England, France, Russia and Sweden being
witnesses to the engagement, ana Austria and
Prussia accepting the diplomatic security il
lieu of the territoriaEsecurity they wish to OBJ
tain. The latter powers, however, being bent
upon obtaining great renoWn and great mill
tAry glory, and thinking that was to be got BY
attacking The small state Of Denmark, decIin
ed the proposal, and said it was too late
England had given no guarantee other thar
being a witness to the proposed agreement
The Paris Nord denies the statement Of th'
Paris correspondent of the London Times that
a French army of observation was about being
placed on the frontier of the Rhine. Bomba,
advices Of the oath Of January, are to the sf
feet that the Alabama was then off the ives
coast of India, so that the stories Of her block
adS at Annoy are unfortunately untrue.

CoNsREss.--We notice nothing Of special
interest in the recent proceedings of this body.
The absorbing question at present is the tar
on rShisky, or rather the question of taxing
that now manufactured and on hand, upon
which the two houses are unable to agree
An amendment taxing stock on hand 20 cents
per gallon passed the House on the 22d o.
January, but the manufacturers and those ir
their interest rallied in strong force, and by
the usual appliances in sueh cases succeeded
in getting reversal Of the decision on the / 9Th
ult.-22 members changing their votes, inclu-
ding democratic members from Ohio, John
son Of this district being one of them.
Both Houses have passed without opposi-
tion the following resolutions complimentary
to the re-Snlisting veterans:
Resolved, That the thanks Of Congress are
hereby given to those noble and brave men
who having already SO gallantly endured the
hardsbips and perils Of war for more than two
years, in support Of their country and flag,
present the sublime spectacle of again Volun-
tarily enrolling themselves in the army for an
other three years, or as long as the war shall
continue.
I'd. That the Secretary of War cause these
resolutions to be read to each Of the veteran
regiments which have re-enlisted, or shall re-
enlist, in both the volunteer and regular for
ces Of the United Statea. '"'- 5-

The Vigilance Committee Hanging in Idaho.


Colonel James Foster arrived at ST. Joseph
No, from Idaho last week, and furnishes to
the st. Joseph News an account of tie Niaing
District Vigilance Committees proceedings.
Colonel Foster and eight others came on
mules four hundred miles to the Mormon set
Element, thence in sleighs sixty miles to Salt
Lake City, and form that point through in
twelve days more on the overland stage. OF
the hanging tragedies, Colonel Foster says:
A few days before he left the miners caught
a highWayman, with whom the country has
long been cursed, st Nevada. and hung him.
Two more were hung at French Ranch. In
their confession they gave the names of eighty
three of their gang, and acknowledged that
they had killed and robbed over one hundred
men. They told where number of their
bodies were concealed.
Virginia City was next surrounded by the
exasperated men early one morning. No one
was permitted to go out but all could come
in who desired. Five men were arrested auc
guard placed around them. They wanted tC
know what they were arrested for, and were
promptly told, and that they had already beer
tried by the Vigilance Committee and con
demned, and that if they had any confessions
to make they had better be making them
They were examined one at time, out o
hearing of the rest, and they all implicated
the same men, gave the same names, and toll
the same stories. They were then token ou
and hung. Five men of the gang were ais
arrested and executed at Bannock, making
thirteen in ALL
Among those hung at Bannock were Henr
Plummer, High Sheriff, and George Lane
alias "Club-Foot George, and Jack Gallagher
two of his deputies. In arresting the las
batch, one of them, a Mexican, fred on tn
srresting party from his demicil, killed one c
the best citizens in Bannock and Wounde
another. A mounted howitzer was then rar
ged and a raking fire opened on the cabir
completely riddling it and severely woundin
the desperate concealed within. He was ia
ken out and hung. the cabin was torn dow
and piled up and bis remains placed on it an
burned.
About one hundred men had gone over
Deer Lodge Diggings, when Colonel F. left, t
execute some more Of the same gang. I'll
miners had sworn vengence against the higl
waymen, and say they intend to make clea
sweep of them.

A POWERFUL ALIGN BEHALF OF THE Con-
sTITUTIoNAL ABOLITION OF SLAvERY.-The
Catholic Telegraph, the official organ of the
Archbishop of Cincinnati, in closing strong
and earnest editorial against the continuance
Of the institution Of Southern slavery, says
that "the absolute necessity for its extinction
before any thing can be accomplished for the
repose of the nation has taken hold of the
minds and hearts of the people, and any at
tempt to retard The popular will must end in
disaster;" that "we are particularly pleased
with the change which has taken place in the
sentiment of Catholics on this subject; that
party prejudice is giving way under the press
ure of public opinion, and finally, says the Tel
egrapb, eve hope the day is near when clause
in the Constitution will proclaim liberty to ali
men within the limits of the United States" :"
This is good, says the New York Her raid.
The ball is rolling on, and soon, like the stone
which was cut out of the mountain, it will fill
the whole land.

Streeter's guilt, but he persisted in denying
the charge on which he suffered. He said:
"The crime for which 1 have got to die, am
entirely innocent of. May God forgive those
who have wronged We" He fell distance
of eight feet, and his neck was instantly bro

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD. D.
This great enterprise, the rapid progress to-
ward completion of which made within the
last year is one of the greatest wonders of the
day, was formally opened a few days ago to
Gallon, on the @. G. & @. road, from which
point trains are now running directly through
to New York, connecting with the New 7 York
& Erie road at Salamanca, N. 7. The work
on that portion of the road wert of Gallon is in
a state Of forwardness and Is being pushed for
ward with a vigor that insures its completion
within short time, when it will afford con-
tinuous broad-guage route from New York
to st. Louis, and must necessarily become q
great thoroughfare and formidable competitor
for passengers and freight. The N. z &
Erie is one of the most comfortable and relia.
Bile passenger roads in the country and il
the Atlantic and Great Western is equally
well managed, as it doubtless will be, the
route will be one that must command large
share Of patronage.
