VoTING OF SoLDIERs.-A paragraph foun d
its way into some of the democratic newspa-
pers to the effect that a regiment of soldiers
in Cairo, voted unanimously for Mcclellan.
This Statement naturely excited some atten-
ton, inasmuch as the soldiers were very gen.
orally believed to be for Lincoln. Upon in.
vestigation it was found that the so called
regiment referred to, consisted of fifty rebel
prisoners, held in military durance. This
explanation is of course satisfactory; the re-
bells every where are for Mcclellan; the re-
bel armies along the entire line hurrahed,
when they heard of the Chicago platform,
and the nomination of Mcclellan upon it.
Every rebel in the Confederacy, would vote
for Mcclellan, eff he could be allowed the
privilege.

HONOR TO THE HEROES OF oLUsTEE.
The batteries and redoubts about jack
sonville have been appropriately named
after the following brave officers, killed
or wounded at the battle of Olustee -
Capt. John Hamilton, 1t. Col. W. II.
Reed, Col. Henry Moore, Lieut.. Tulley
McCrea, Col. c. W. Fribley, Lieut.. j.

says in conclusion
"No recollections can be more permanent to
this command than of those who fell so gallant
ly and gloriously at Olustee; the above is less to
commemorate than to acknowledge the honor
that is justly felt to be due to those who spared
neither their blood nor their lives on that occa-
sion."

LATE NEWS FROM REBEL Pa
PERS.

We received yesterday files Of RieA.-
mond and Charleston papers to the 1lth
inst The former are still harping upon
the atrocious enormity of Kilpatrick's
raid and "the Lincoln dynasty" while
the Charleston prints meekly follow suit
in similar strains and clamor for ere
taliation."
AFFAIRS AT SUFFOLK.
The most important feature of the
news from Richmond is to the effect
that on the 9th instant our forces at Suf-
folk, Va, were attacked and routed.
and were driven out of town in confu-
sion, with the loss of large number
killed, one piece Of artillery and large
quantity of commissary's and quarter
masters stores. According to the rebel
accounts, our troops were "fiying"
toward Portsmouth, burning bridges and
everything else behind them. BY our
papers we learn that the town was re-
taken on the following day.
EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
The Richmond Sentinel has column
clarifying the eight hundred men whom
General Butler recently sent up from
Point Lockout, for having withstood the
"bribes" held out to them; but it COM
plains bitterly that they were landed in
silence not a cheer-not even the waving
of a handkerchief welcome them"
OLUSTEE.
The secession press is jubilant over
the results of the battle of Olustee. One
writer speaks Of the long list of casual
ties in the New York Times of the I'd as.
"the prettiest page Of printed matter he
ever saw"

City to an outpost near Pilatka to bear
dispatches. Once away from the rebel
lines, he struck for the St. Johns, and
soon found himself among our men, who
took good care of him. No considerable
force of the enemy can be heard of with
in forty or fifty miles of the town. One
or two cavalry companies are within the
vicinity of our force, but are not very
formidable in men or morale. Our lines
are now mile or more from town, and
preparations for strong defence have
already been begun, and are well adj
yanced.
As yet, the reports relative to the i'm
mense supplies Of cotton, turpentine, &C.,
have not been verified. Amore extended
search than that already made may de-
velope hidden and valuable supplies.
The naval tug Columbine escorted the
expedition up the river, and remains to
act in any contingency.
General Seymour and Commander
Balch went up from Jacksonville, on
Saturday, to look after affairs in that
quarter, and to concert for what may
prove an important movement.
THE COAST SURVEY.
The U. S. Coast Survey schooner Cas-
well has arrived at Jacksonville, and is
anchored off the town. Capt. William
H. Dennis, assistant in the Coast Survey
Corps, has been attached to the staff OF
Brig. Gen. Seymour, as Typographical
Engineer, and has entered upon the dis
charge of his duties. His aids are also
engaged in topographic and photographic
work about Jacksonville, preparing maps
and charts of the river and country about
the town. The work is going on rapidly
and must prove Of great value to the
military authorities in the Department.
The surveying steamer Vixen, Captain
G. o. Boutelle, is daily expected at the
mouth Of the st. Johns, to replace tho
YMgnls N the fight houses, and re-light
them. They are much needed at this
point, in order to enable vessels, if neces-
sary, to cross the bar in the night, and
also to serve as beacons to vessels pass
ing up and down the coast. The work
will be speedily completed.
NEW SIGNAL LINE
Has been established by Capt. Dana,
Chief Signal Officer of the Southern
District, from Jacksonville to the mouth
of st. Johns river. The intermediate sta
ton is to be at Yellow Bluffs, about mid
way between the termini Of the line.
The Yellow Bluff Station is now in pro-
cess of erection. 1t will consist of a
tower about one hundred feet in height,
from the summit of which the eye can
sweep over a vast region of country.
The tower on the church in Jacksonville
is clearly visible through glass, as it is
only seven and half miles distant, as
crow flies. The lighthouse at the
mouth of the river, which is to be used
as signal station, is seven miles and
three quarters distant from Yellow
Bluffs, in an air line, and is easily dis
cerned in clear weather. The line will
soon be in operation and will undoubted-
ly prove of great value to the Depart
ment.

PILATKA OCCURRED.

PILATKA OCCURRED.
The little town of Pila.ka on the left
bank of the St. Johns river, about seven
ty-fye miles from its mouth and fifty from
Jacksonville, was occupied by oui forces,
under Col. Barton, on Thursday morning
last, the 10th instant, at daylight. The
force, consisting of infantry and artillery,
left Jacksonville on the transports Gen
eral Hunter, Delaware, Maple Leaf and
Charles Houghton, on Wednesday even
ing, and, under the direction of good
pilots, reached Pilatka at about daylight,
without anything of an exciting nature
occurring on the trip up. The night was,
densely dark, and a terrible thunderstorm
added not little to the difficulty of the
passage of the boats up the tortuous chan
mel, and also to the discomfort of the
men. The rain poured in torrents md
drifed into the boats and upon the men
in young Niagaras, while the lightning
was incessant, and the peals of thunder
rapid and deafening. Through all these
iisagreeable accessories to a night move,
the expedition progressed safely and sat
issactorily, and had nearly accomplished
its first object before sunrise Of the 1pl-
loving day. But few Of the enemy were
seen by those who disemtarked first and
they offered no resistance to our move
ments. The rebels probably had only a
small cavalry picket in the town, and on
the approach of our men it was with
drawn aud the place given up without
firing shot on either side.
The town was found entirely DIES efted,
except by three small families, who pro-
fessed Union sentiments, and des sred to
remain at their homes, and within the
Yankee lines. They have but little pro-
perty, and are not at all reluctant to seek
refuge and food under the old aag. The
remainder of the inhabitants of the once
fiourishing and promising town have
fled. and found new homes elsewhere
with the rebels.
The village is about one-fourth the
size of Jacksonville, and was, before the
war. one of the most active and business
like places in that section of the State.
The town is well laid out, and boasts of
quite number of fine brick buildings on
the river bank, used as warehouses and
stores, which were formerly filled with
cotton and produce, and large and valu-
able stocks of goods, such as are COM
monty found in country districts. There
are also many dwelling houses in town,
built of brick, and with some architec-
tural pretensions. Ali Of these buildings
are now vacant and deserted. Many of
them have furniture in them of no great
value. The general aspect Of the place is
dismal and melancholy, and possesses
but little interest at present,
Shortly after our forces arrived, rebel
deserter came in from Lake City, and
gave some important information to the
commanding officer relative to the enc
my's strength and position. He was
tired of the war, and embraced the op-
portunity afforded him by his command

Cd. Gen. Benham and Gen. Hunter

Losses of Our Army.


The losses OF our army uring the cam
pagn of General Grant bave been greatly
exaggerated. We hear upon The best
official authority that the number of the
killed, from the time the army crossed the
Rapidan until it reaced the james river
did not exceed four thousand me-. The
wounded numbered something over forty
thousand and including casualties OF every
description, less than Fifty thousand; while
the deaths Of these wounded men are so far
not much in excess of two thousand, or
from four to five per cent. The injuries Of
the wounded men in the majority OF cas- es
are very slight-'rhe permanent loss to
our army for the time mentioned may
be twelve TO fifteen thousand men. but not
in any case more than twenty thousand
and the loss Of life is much less
