EMPLOYMENT OF ENLISTED MEN BY
Crv1L1ANs.-Gen. Gilmore has issued
General Order, in which the employing OF
enlisted men by civilians is strictly pro-
hibited, except where such employ
ment is authorized by the Major-General
Commanding, or when the soldier is on
furlough, duly approved at Department
Headquarters.

~. NAVAL MATTERS. 49,
The Sumter and the Hettie, prizes to
the naval tug Columbine, left here to-day
for Jacksonville. They will probably be
condemned as lawful prizes, and be set
to work without being taken out Of the
St. Johns. The Hettie is quite a fine
boat, of the wheelbarrow pattern, and
will prove Of great service. She was
built just before the war for the Pilatka
and Jacksonville line, but never made
the trip but twice, and may therefore be
considered as good as new. Her saloon
is large, her rooms well fitted, and her
capacity for carrying freight or passen-
gers is good. Aside from the wheel in
her stern, she resembles the Darlington,
which is advertised to be sold at Beau
fort next May. '..' -
The Hettie had motley collection of
freight going down. One hundred and
fifty bales of cotton, mostly ginned,
comprised the leading item. Then there
were turpentine, and rosin, and copper,
fruits, hencoops and fowls, cotton gins,
whiskey stills, sugar and rice, old rail
way iron IN large quantities, more cot
ton, more fruit, and several families Of
loyal refugees, black and white, with
their goats, cats, dogs and children. In
tow was the Sumter, looking as much
like two-story pig-sty as like river
craft and yet this vessel has done good
business in running goods and passen-
gers through the inland passages of the
Peninsula State. To us the Sumter will
be comparatively worthless, but to the
rebels her capture will prove rather dis
astrous. The Hettie, which has not
been in use for a couple of years, will
come very handy for us. Her speed is
about seven knots.
The arrival of the Columbine was op-
perfume. Had it been deferred day or
two later, an expedition for rescue or re-
lief would have been sent out, so con-
vinced was every one that she had been
captured or destroyed.
Assistant Surgeon G. w. Woods, of
the Ottawa, has been ordered North.
Assistant Surgeon Willard, who was one
of the officers of the Vanderbilt during
her cruise for the Alabama, arrived to-
day to relieve him. First Assistant
Engineer Sprague, of the Ottawa, who
has just been promoted, is soon to be Or
dered to another vessel.

AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 22d.
FLAGS OF TRECE.


FLAGS OF TRECE.
Major Eddy, of Gen. Seymours Staff,
accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Chapman,
Chaplain of the Goth N. Y. Volunteers,
rode out to the lines of the enemy yes
terday under flag oftruce. Mr.. Chap
man sought admission for the purpose
of looking after our wounded at Talla-
hassee; but after waiting till dark with
out receiving any reply from the rebel
commandant, the party returned. The
rebels sent us a flag of truce on Sunday,
concerning Catholic priest and two
sisters of charity, whom we received,
and it is not unlikely that when the
answer to Mr.. Chapman's request is sent
in. it will be of a favorable character.
MEDICAL DIRECTOR. H
Surgeon A. Majer, Z. S. v, has been
relieved from duty in the District of
Florida, and Surgeon S. W. Gross, u.
S. v. announced as Medical Director.
PnArK,, Fla, March 23d, 1864.
sKIR,usn.
We had skirmish with the rebels
here on Monday, the 9lst, in which the
enemy; who made an attack in force up
on our pickets, was repulsed and driven
in full retreat. Between hundred and
6fty and two hundred of the rebels
made a dash upon our mounted pickets
on the right, comprising y portion OF the
ll5th New York, driving them in little
way. A portion of the same force then
passed our center and went to our left,
where our outposts were also attacked.
The enemy fought dastardly, firing from
behind the trees; but notwithstanding
this advantage, our own men being in
the open space, the rebels were driven
back in confusion, and taking to their
horses made the best escape they could
In the fight, which was of very brief du-
ration, not one of our own men was hit.
One of our officers, however, asserts
that a rebel officer, mounted on a amagnifi-
cent grey horse, was seen to fall after one
of our vollies. The Ottawa, Lieutenant
Commander Breese, fired over the town
during the engagement, and one or two
of her shells burst prematurely, the frag-
mcnts falling among our lines, happily
doing no injury.
PICKETS CAPTURED.
Last Saturday the rcbs caught two of
our pickets mapping by fire, over which
they were cooking their coffee, and took
them prisoners. Their horses, hitched
to saplings close by, were also taken.
Let this be warning to our men. The
previous admonition of the officer of the
picket had failed to put them on their
guard.
GOOD QUARTERS.
Col. Barton, the commandant ut this
post, is most agreeably located in the
house of Mr.. Hart, prominent and
wealthy seeessionist. This dwelling, the
finest in the town, was formerly the IA
vorite resort Of the rebel officers at Camp
Dickinson. 1t is surrounded by grounds
handsomely laid out, abounding in orange
groves, evergreens, rare shrubs and
choice flowers already in bloom. The
Putnam House, formerly a large and
well patronized hotel, is now the Post
Hospital, under the charge of DR.. Null

House is the headquarters Of the worthy
Provost Marshal, Capt. Smith. Other
fine dwellings are similarly appropriated.
REBEL RESIDENCE BURNED.
Yesterday morning, by order Of Col.
Barton, the torch was applied to hand
some dwelling on the hill in rear OF the
town, belonging to a surgeon in the rebel
service. It was the desire Of Col. Bar
ton to preserve it, but the enemy having
made it bulwark to shelter themselves
while firing on our men, its destruction
was considered military necessity.
PILATKA.
DR.. Pinneo Medical Inspector of the
Department, in company with Surgeon
Gross, Medical Director of the District,
and Assistant Surgeon Tremain, are here
to-day on visit of inspection. In COM
pany with Col. Barton, they have made
the tour of the post, with all the arrange
ments of which they justly profess them
selves delighted. There is no prettier
spot in all Florida than this. The choicest
fruits, the most brilliant foliage, the
balmiest atmosphere, vocal with the mu-
sic Of birds; the majestic century old
i've oaks, burdened with pendant moss,
with their shadows falling ON green
sward smooth as an emerald carpet the
evidences Of wealth and refinement
everywhere visible, strongly commingled
with martial sights and soundsaall go to
make the place one Of the most attrac-
tse in the Department, or ia tho eitiae
South. " .1
SCENE OF REBEL ATROCITIES.
I visited one spot to-day, however,
which made me sad to lcok upon. l
stood under rude gallows, where, but
few months ago, six colored men were
hung for attempting to escape from bond
age to freedom. A slender branch of a
tree, growing not quarter ofa mile
from the village, had been bent down
into the crotch of an upright stick, and
fastened permanently in that position
by the weight of struggling, dying hu-
man beings, two of whom were thus
murdered at time. The graves of
the martyrs are under the tree where
they perished, marked by simple sticks,
placed there by the blacks of the village,
all of whom were compelled by the
authors of the infamous proceeding to
witness the horrible ceremony, and they
say that one of the victims Though l
can scarcely credit the story of such
barbarism) was dubbed to death in his
grave, after the wretches had commenced
to heap the earth upon him, because the
slip-noose failed in its work.
COMPLIMENTS TO WORTHY OFFICERS.
Lieut.. NJ. McMartin, Quartermaster,
and Lieut.. II. s. Sanford, Adjutant of
the 1l5th N. Y. Volunteers, were hand
somely used by their regiments to-day.
To each was given a fine horse, with
equipments. The gifts were presented
by Major Walrath, who, in an eloquent
manner, recited the merits of the officers
and of the regiment whose efficiency
they had contributed greatly to sustain.
Appropriate responses were made, and a
"sociable this evening is to wind up the
affair.

his troops meanwhile living on the very best
provisions, he had with him drove Of 200
cattle though he started from Atlanta with
only 200. He gathered upon the way over
. 700 able bodied negroes, aud 80 many
horses, mules and wagons as to embsrrass
him. His army, during considerable por-
ton OF the march, extended over sweep of
country sixty miles in breadth, as much Ms
four miles at times intervening between the
right wing of one column and the loft Of the
other; but communication was At oil times
kept up between the two.
The whole loss in men from the time Of
leaving Atsnta 10 the arrival in front Of
Savannah, from wounds, sickness, captured
Struggling. and all other CAUSES, was only
about !, 600. The average daily march was
about twelve miles.
When the city of Savannah WAS invested
by Sherman it WAS unprepared for a siege,
and it was believed that ii could not hold out
more than few days

down many, failed 10 check the advance, ard
the work was ours. Most Of the garrison,
