Of June, General Gordon made brilliant daeh on
the rebels In front Of Jacksonville Fla. Therebel
camps Finnegan and Milton were hanked, while
another party attacked in front, The enemy fled
in confusion.
ut appears that the gunboat Water Witch was
surprised when captured. Rebels boarded her In
email boata, and before those on board had time
to get up flight, they were prisoners. The Water
Witch viii be great acquisition to the rebela.''

bridge across the Ch;ckahomlny, and his po-
Eition is impregnable to assault In the
meantime, a1airs With Butler and Gilmore
begin to assume more active shape. Gil
more has advanced, and il marching on Pa-
tetsburg, and has already carried the first line
Of the cncmy's earthworke with small loss to

in the destruction of a portion Of the Peters
burg and Richmond Railroad.
From the South Atlantic coast the news is
feF3 cheering. 4 reconnaissance towards

force from Battery Island, only two miles
from Charleston. Our forces at Jacksonville,

them to flight
