THE LATE BATTLE NEAR LAKE
CITY, FLA. e~

gentleman reached Petersburg yesterday, who
was present at the battle fought last week near
Lake City, Florida, and assisted in removing the
wounded from the field. He says the battle lasted
for two and half hours, and resulted in decided
victory on our side, though the Yankees retreated
in rather better order than usual A running
tight was kept up by the cavalry for six or seven
miles, and the enemy suffered severely
Our informant states that the Yankee force was
fully twice as large as the number engaged on our
side, but our troopssfopght with desperation and
discrimination qns1 passed by anything that has
occurred during the War.
The principal and hardest fighting was done by
Gen Talcott's Brigade of Georgians It is said,
that when it became known the enemy were ad-
vanclng In force, Gen Fnnegan suggested the fall
ing back of our troops to their breastworks, but
Gen Talcott insisted that he might be permitted
to fight them in open field, and on ground of their
own choosing. He did meet them in open field
and on their own ground, and vanquished them,
notwithstanding their superior numbers.
The enemy bad three regiments of negro troops
one from Massachusetts,, one from South Carroll
ma, and one from North Carolina These troops
supported their artillery, and terribly cut to
pieces In charge made upon them by the Geor-
gians.
The gentleman from whom we derive this in
formation, says the Confederates lost about 80
killed, and about $50 wounded. The loss of the
enemy was more than $50 killed, and between six
hundred and seven hundred wounded As the
Yankees in their fight left all their dead and
wounded on the field, the number loss on both
sides was easily ascertained.
The people of Florida are in fine spirits and
much encouraged by the result of the fight, and
our informant says that all the way from Florida
to Virginia, the soldiers and the people are in the
best spirits and confident of victory in the open
iEg campaign He gives most cheering account
of matters in the South.-Petersburg Express

MURDER, VIOLENCE AND TREASON

The following letter from Randolph county, will
give some idea of the mischief which the agitators
in North Carolina producing. And this will
be but the beginning if steIn and prompt measures
be not taken to arrest the evils. We call the at
tenton of the Confederate and State authorities to
the enormites and outrages reported by our cor
respondent:
RANDOLPH Co., N. c., Feb 22, 1864.
Messrs. Editors: On last Wednesday, the 18th,
several deserters went to the house of Mr. Pleasant
Simons, of Montgomery county. Some four of
them entered his house after the family had retir-
ed to bed and demanded bacon of him. He con-
cluded to give them some and ordered his daugh-
ter to get it. She brought them two hams: they
said that would not do, they must have more.
They then went to the smoke house, broke the
door open and begun to cut down the meat; when
an acquaintance, Mr. Jacob Sanders, who was lodg-
ing with Dir Simons that night, got up and went
out to them with Mr. Sirnons The deserters Or
dered them back in the house, or they would shoot
them. They went back, but Mr. Sanders got a
gun and repeater from Mr. Simons and went out
armed, when the wretches fred on them, killing
MIR Sanders and mortalls wouuding Mr. Simons,
Mr. Sanders fred twice or three times before he
expired, and it is believed he killed the noted Bill
Owens, and probably one other. Mr.. Sanders
died In fifteen minutes; MIR Simons survived some
twenty four hours.
Mrs. Simons came out of the house 10 her hus-
band, when the devils ordered her back in the
house or they would put lead in her: that they
had sent their sons to the war, and they all
id set of secessionists and took up rock to
put an end to Mr. Smons, as they said he was not
quite dead. His daughter interceded, and they
left 20 take off their wounded and dead. Six or
eight balls went through the smoko-house door,
and one ball through the dwelling house door.
The yard was strewn with human gore: il stood in
some places in puddles, where the men lay.
l attended the funeral of my friend Mr. Simons,
who was very respectable citizen, as was also Mr.
Jacob Saunders-both men over so years of age,
and leave large families, having sons in our army.
Only a few days previous, Mr. Cagell was shot
in the same neighborhood, but not mortally. Can
nothing be done to put stop to these acts of muir
der and treason?

The Lynchburg Republican publishes letter
from an army correspondent near Somerville Ford,
Va, which gives the following account of the Yam
kee re-enlislment
1.-TWO gentlemen, who have been scouting iR
Prince William county, and have just returned
from there stad 10 camp last night, and report
that there has been n heavy fight among corps
of Yankee troops stationed near Rristoe Station,
under the following circumstances:
day had been appointed for re-enlisting the
men of this corps, and large number of barrels
of whiskey had been brought down aud the heads
knocked out and the men invited ID drink, In Or
der to get them mp TO the stickiHy point. Some
of the Dutch and Irish pitched ie, got tight, abd
arrayed themselves in the line sfo abe re-ensted,
but the calculating, full hoodedvY aBkees, together
with large portion Of the whole, smelt che rat
and refused to participate whereupon the rsenlist-
ed men commenced taunting the rest, and gen.
eral followed, all parties seizing their arms.
The fight lasted for hours, aud the firing is said 20
have been terrific. The commanding officer had
six pieces of artillery opened on the insurgents,
and finally succeeded in restoring quiet Five
hundred men reported as killed, and loog
trap of ambuances and wagons were loaded and
sent off with wounded. ] presume there Ia no
doubt as to the truth of this affair, officers in
this regiment have received letters from their
families in that neghborhood confirming the facts,
and stating that they heard the firing, &e. Two
thousand of the men implicated in this matter
were placed in irons, which fact will give you some
idea of the extent and importance of this affair.
This is the second fight the Yankees have had
lately, as reported by prisoner, r
Two Yankee regiments, whose terms Of service
had expired, we're ordered to advance against che
rebels, which they refused to do, and brigade
was ordered against them. The two regiments
are said to have whipped the brigade, both losing
about one hundred men killed aud wounded.
