New YoRK, Feb 20.-The following
correspondence from Florida is published
to-day:
Baldwin, occupied by our forces, is
small town eighteen miles from Jackson
vile, on the Florida Central railroad.
There are not over twenty five families
in Jacksonville, all of whom claim to be
Unionists The rebel forces in Florida
are about $500 strong, and under Gen.
Finnegan.
The railroad is still in running order,
though the rebels intended to take up
the rails preparatory to an abandonment
OF Florida. Barbor's station and San
derson, the latter forty miles from Jack
sonville and on the railroad, have been
occupied. At the former place a Skin
mish was had with the rebels, in which
we had four killed and fifteen wounded.
Several buildings in Sanderson were in
flames on the arrival of our forces, one
of them containing 5000 bushels of corn,
and another 1000 barrels of turpentine
and rosin. A document was found at
Sanderson, emanating from the chief
commissary of the rebels, which gives
startling evidence of their desperate con-
dition. Beef and bacon are entirely ex-
hausted throughout the South, and from
all quarters cries are arising for relief.
From Florida our forces subsequently
advanced towards Lake City, where the
rebels are in force, and though we fell
back to Sanderson, Finnegan was terri
bly, frightened and left the place with g.
600 cavalry and infantry.
Lake City is half way from Jackson
vile to Tallahassee. Finnegan, before
leaving, carried off all the rebel property
There is reason to believe that the en-
envy, ifhe fights at all, will take position
on the west bank of Tunnel river, which
is not fordable, and will have to be pom
TONED or bridged over.
Up to the 18th we had captured four
teen cannon.
Late reports state that Beauregard
was marching in force to Tallahassee,
and Lake City was being garrisoned by
Georgia troops.
Of the persons captured, about one
half took the oath of allegiance. The
steamer ST. Mary was to be raised, be-
ing uninjured.
Our forces had captured and caused
to be destroyed over $4,000 worth of
property. Two hundred bales of cotton
We're procured at Baldwin.

The ALLEGHANIANs CoMING.-By an
advertisement in another column it will
be seen that this celebrated troupe will
visit the city next week, opening on
Thursday night at Masonic Hail. The
fame of these artistes is commensurate
with the continent, and no troupe has
ever received such general eneomiums
from the Press. OF these notices we
copy few;
The Alleghanians gave a most enter
tanning musical performance at Hope
Chapel, last evening, to a numerous au-
dience. Nearly every piece on the pro-
gramme was encored. The songs were
selected with discriminating taste, and
sang with that artistic harmony for
which this troupe is renowned The
bell performances were astonishingly
well given. These excellent soirees we
hope to see receive the liberal patron
age their merit entities them to"-IIlde-
