HEPRIsAls FOR ABOLITION ou1aAGEs.
Letter from Mr.. vallandigham to the
Publishers of the ssDayton
Empire."
WINDSOR, C. W., March Z. 1884.

WINDSOR, C. W., March z. 1854.
Messrs Hubbard 4 Brother. Dayton. Ohio:
GENTLEMEN--I read, several days, ago,
the telegraphic announcement of the 'srid-
ding" Of the Empire Office by ''furloughed
soldiers" l offer you no sympathy, for that
viii avail nothing now or hereafter. / do
express to you my profound regret that you
were not prepared to inflict on the spot, and
In the midst ofthe assault, the complete pun
ishment which the assailants deserved; but
am gratifed to learn that some of them did
soon after receive their deserts. But these
cowardly acts cannot always be guarded
against. And they do not primarily come
from the soldiers" There Is, therefore,
but one remedy for past and preventative of
{. futnfe injuries; and that Is, instant staaIna-
~ and ample repTisdls upon the persons and
property Of the men at home, icho, bg IunQtd1e
and conduct, are dlscoys melting these oufraqes.
No legal nor military punishment is ever
inflicted upon the immediate instruments.
Retaliation, therefore, is the only and right
full remedy in times like these. / speak adj
visedly, and recommend 1t in all cases here
after. It is Of no avail to announce the
falsehood that "both parties condemn it,n
after the destruction has been consummated.
The time has gone by for obedience without
protection. Ispeak decided language but
the continual recurrence Of these outraees
frequently attended with murder, and al
ways without redress-demands it. They
must be stopped, let the consequences be
what they may. Reprisals in such cases
arr. now the only way left for return to law
and order. Very truly,

The two Abolition morning papers IN
cgncinnati TEEN daily with foolish and ma
lienant falsehoods against Democratic men
and Democratic measures at Washington.
/, The correspondents Of these papers at the
Federal Capital seem to be paid for the pur-
pose Of spreading falsehoods. They both
have places under Congressional Charge
The correspondent Of The Commercial writes
the more foolish; while the correspondent
of The Gazette writes the more malignant
falsehoods. "MAcK" is understood to be
Clerk to SHERMAN's committee in the SEN
ate, and only indulges in praises OF his pat
ron and in caricatures Of Democrats whom
that Senator dislikes. The other scavenger
-aAeATEr-is one of the Librarians to
the House, and takes advantage Of his po-
sition to coin the most unfounded and spite
I full especially about Hon. S. $. Cox and
Judge BLISS, and other Democrats with
whom he ought at least to be associated In
courtesies. Why don't some membermove
TO dismiss him as public iiar and slander-
er. On every bill, on every vote, on every
speech, this long-haired correspondent--as
The Commercial characterizes him-misrep-
resents our Democratic members, at the
! instigation and under the auspices of GAR
FIELD AND COMPANY. The Democrats can't
do thing that is not misrepresented.-
What they don't do is distorted, as having
some bad motive. We caution the people
who read these daily eoinages of these
young men at Washington, to make allow
ances, always, for the necessities which
compel them to misrepresent and falsify.-
Indeed, If their readers will compare their
own stories from day to day, or with the
statements Of each other, they can be con-
yicted-the one of gross Misrepresentation,
and the other Of downright falsehood.

The Florida Atrocity.

The more we learn of the influences
which led to the Florida expedition and the
useless massacre of Olustee, the worse the
whole affair seems to be. There is an in
tense feeling of indignation concerning this
matter throughout the country which has
not yet found expression in the newspa-
pers or Congress. The letters which reach
the North from soldiers, officers, and civil
ians in that military department agree in
tracing the whole responsibility for the ex-
pedition and consequently for the disaster,
directly to the White House, at Washing
ton. The most shameful feature Of this
whole matter is the cowardly attempt by
the President and his friends to try and
place the responsibility upon General Gil
more, in the face of this formal official doc
ument -.a

II is clearly pointed out that the expedi-

self. who sent his own Private Secretary,
John Hay. to restore the State to the Union.
But there Is secret history In connec-
tion with this matter. 1t seems that Mr..
Lincoln was inspired to order the expedi-
| ton by tax collector, named Stickney, at
| Port Royal. This man, who is sharp, un-
scrupulous New Englander, after visit to
Washington, boasted that he had got AOld
Aben all right. There was to De money in
| the thing Tor himself and friends. Even
! the offices were divided in advance. Hay
was to be the member of Congress from
| Florida, while Stickney aspired to the Sen
atorship. AS only about q thousand votes
were required, they could be got from the
soldiers. camp followers, and suffers, who
would occupy the State upon its conquest.
| In every point of view this has been
most scandalous business. Why was Hay
made major and then an assistant adjutant
general over the heads Of brave officers who
were periling their lives upon the battle

HrLroN HEAD, S. c., March 8.

Our repulse in Florida turns out even
worse than stated in my last Dispatch
Our total loss will not fall much short of
1.500, over.400 of which were left killed and
wounded in the hands of the enemy. The
affair was done up very much after the
style of the French and Indian defeat of
Braddock in l755. The rebels, not less
than 10000 strong, were posted behind the
railroad embankment, which there curves
i'm the shape of horseshoe, near the station
of Olustee, some fifty miles in the interior.
A few skirmishers had been sent out by the
enemy to allure our people into the snare,
and they were followed, as they desired to
be. Our men had marched several miles,
and had their knapsacks on when the enc
my opened on them.
| fear an effort will be made to cover up
the reality of this humiliating affair; but
the country sheuld know the truth, and
hold those responsible who are the authors
of the expedition. Fortunately for the
reputation of General Gilmore the move
ment was not of his planning. The order
came from Washington, and it is said none
other than the President is the responsible
party, and that he ordered the movement
without consulting his military advisers
Even this knowledge, as satisfactory as it
may be to some, will not bring to life the
hundreds of men needlessly slain. II, in
reality, Florida is Of SO much importance to
the rebels, they will make hard fight for
it; but, if not, why should we dissipate our
forces and have our men killed without
reason? q .sf

IcOrrespondcnce Of the New York world.I

Correspondents of the New York world[
MoRRIs ISLAND, S. c., Feb. "A.
The most important thing talked about
here is our humiliating defeat in Florida
When all the facts of that expedition shall
be known the country will not restrain its
Indignation ut the author. General Gill
more Is not responsible for it. The movement
scqs made BY orders from Washington, and scds
fbr political purposes sciolly. For months,
Mr.. Stickney, one of the tax commissioners
OF this department, has been urging the adj
miliistration to send a military expedition
into the interior Of Florida so as to reclaim
the State for political purposes. They wish
ed to get hold Of the archives, to be able to
organize pretended State Government, and
gire political Office 10 him and fe,c of ths same
kidney. Some tcere to be benefited politically
and Others hare chance TO speculate IN lands.
On his recent return from Washington Mr..
Stickney stated that he had accomplished
his object; and shortly afterward General
Gilmore received an order to send force In
to the interior of the State.
See the result. We have sustained Bull
Run defeat; our loss in men will not be
much short of q thousand, with twelve
pieces of cannon. Some of our best officers
have been killed and wounded. Our small
force was enticed into the interior, miles
away from their base, and then fallen upon
by an noyerpowering force and slaughter
The enemy had timely noticed of the expe-
dition, and concentrated to meet us. The
results just as military menhere predicted.
1t was the worst time of all Others to at
tempt an offensive movement, when our
forces all along the line were resting upon
their arms, giving the enemy ample oppor-
tunity to draw away troops from any point.
This is the result of permitting political
adventurers to interfere with military move
ments. These are the facts of the case, in
spite of what interested parties may say or
do to cover up the truth. AS you may well
imagine there is great indignation in mil
tary circles. l hope you will assist the
country to ventilate this disgraceful pro-
ceeding on the part of our political man
ayers. JUSTICE.
