IRON CHARLFSTON

The Worlds letter from Hilton Head says
General Gilmore has sent orders to Florida
that 10 future only Jacksonville will be held
by our troop, and no effort whatever will be
made to occupy other towns.
The steamer Arago, from Hilton Head and
Charleston Bar 4th inst, has arrived. She
brings detoohmonts Of the Nth, 54th and
l5th New York, 9Th Maine, s5th Pennsyl-
vania and 80 Rhode Island Battery. Also,
some twenty officers, wounded in Florida,
and hlty-iour rebel deserters. Colonies Rust,
Moore, lannon's, Meyers, Sldel and Jack
son are among the passengers, the total num-
Der Of which is $50.
Nothing new from Charleston. The bonn
bardment is still continued with good effect
The rebels reply at intervals, but seldom do
any damage.
The supply steamer Bermuda is reported
to have captured a rebel privateer in sight of
Port Piokets after an exciting chase. The
rebels bad Just put prize crew aboard a cap
tured trading vessel, which was not retaken.
All war quiet at Jacksonville, Fla. on the
I'd inst. Reinforcements we're rapidly arriv-
irg and Gen. Seymours position was suffi.
GENTLY formidable to repel any attack on our
troops.
Our troops are outside Of the town, some
of them at distance Of eight miles. The
Notifications around Jacksonville are of an
extensive character. A flag oftruce was sent
to the rebels to obtain our wounded, but the
rebels refused to let us have them.
The main body Of the rebels is encamped
between Ten Mile Run and Baldwin. The
rebels admit their loss to be enormous-some
setting it as high as 2000.
On he 9Th small skirmisb occurred be-
tween our cavalry and the rebels near mp
Finnegan The rebels had five wounded
One Of our men was wounded.
Gen. Gilmore arrived at Jacksonville on
the 29,h.
The business Of blockade running is resum-
cd at Chirleston. Hardly a week passes but
one or two vessels run in Over 10000 ne
groes are engaged on the Notifications of
Charleston. A joint stock company has been
organized at Charleston for blockade running,
and two swift steamers are now employed be-
tween there and Nassau. Two successful
trips are reported within a month.

tie the payment of interest, and passed the

chaplains while absent on leave, or by sick
So, or as prisoners, and pay of $50 per

The Senate will probably amend the gold
Il so that it will conform to the views OF
House.
The rebel authorities refused to release ci-
lians living within the limits OF the Con-
deracy, and now imprisoned, on the ground
at they are not subjects of exchange, and
citizens of the Confederacy have no claim
ION the Federal Government. In future nc
tizen Of the South will be released without
king the oath of allegiance to The Southern

1t is thought that bill will be introduced

FROM WASHINGTOM.

The following appears IN Washington
'spatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
AN interesting correspondence has taken
ace between Secretary Chase and President
ncolu on the subject Of the Pomeroy cilcu-
=. Some days since Chase sent note to
e President. saying he had not seen the
mercy circular until published, and that be
approved OF it; but, nevertheless, at the
licitation offriends, he stood in the attitude
candidate for the Presidency, and he sub
tilted to Mr.. Lincoln the question whether
CHI an attitude was incompatible with his
,latons as member OF the Cabinet.
The President replied that he had not seen
r. Pomeroy's circular at all, and as to
aether Mr.. Chase's candidacy was incom-
tible with his position as member OF he
.binet, that was a question for him (Chase)
decide"
The Heralds Washington dispatch says it
rumored that Gen. Grant is to take Gen.
