Es5~ Correspondence from Hilton Head,
of date August ID, states that until with
in two wecka affairs in Florida had been
very quiet. Several recent raids by Gen
Birney has, however; invested that district
with some interest An expedition on
the Fernandina Railroad resulted in the
destruction, at Callehan, of two cars and
the telegraph Office, the capture of loco
motive and seven cars, and a number of
horses and large quantity of small arms
and stores were captured. Subsequently
n more important expedition proceeded up
the ST. Johns in transports to Taylor's
Ford, on Black Creek. A column advan-
ced to Whltesville on the south fork of
Black Creek, where force of rebels was
drawn up to dispute the crossing. A
skirmish ensued which ended in the COM
plete route of the enemy. The fighting
was sustained on our side by two colored
regiments, who behaved with commend
able degree of valor. The force pushed
on for thirty miles, and destroyed the
trestlework and an important bridge over
the st. Mary's river. At Clay's Hills
they had a brisk skirmish with the I'd
Florida cavalry, who fed in confusion
The column then marched to Trail Ridge
on the Cedar Keys Railroad and destroy
ed the trestle-works. They next proceed
ed on the old Alachua trail to Darby's
Still, on the Lake City Railroad, where
trestle work and water tank were des-
troyed. While the water tank was burn
ing, the wind suddenly changed and COM
municated the flames to building con-
tanning two thousand barrels of rosin, all
of which was consumed The column
proceeded to storm Baldwin, but the enc
my evacuated the place during the night
Our troops here secured quantity of
guns, sabres and forage. A rebel male
was also captured, one of the letters, ia
ted at Baldwin a day or two previous, sta
ting that the force in that place consisted
of the Second Florida Cavalry, the Scott
Battalion, four companies of reserves.

cry. Our forces now occupy Baldwin
and Camp Milton. The formidable earth
works which Gilmore caused to be erected
for the defense of each of those places,
are still illstanding Carsrun daily ybetween
Jacksonville and Baldwin The princi-
pal object in holding Baldwin is to de-
prive the rebels of the use of three lines
Of railway, and prevent them from dri-
wing cattle from the lower and richer por-
tions of the State into Georgia. The
rebels have subsisted their armies for a

Let them follow the advice Of The WorId
lin the other instance it uas PARTIAL,
succesafnl-if they think II will pay. But
We would caution them against one resal,
thot may follow such movement: Thsil
goods may remain on their shelves or ia
the cases, until such time a. they are
brought to their sepses BY reason Of tbeis
loss Of customers. The people believe in
the insxonble logic Of events. They
have ssen gold 60 up and dry goods With
it; they nov sse gold going down, and
they went and expect 70 go dry goods
take the same direction. All illegitima,e
efforts on the part Of New York merchants
to defeat this plain logic will be sure to
excite compromising opposition. The
Northwest bears no particular love and
sympathy toward the city of New York.
While she is filing the army with her
sons to pat down this unhoIy rebellion,
the city of New York, by moro than two
to one, votes her efforts t" failure" and
declares for "peace At any price, While
the Northwest is encouraging the hardy
sons Of the mouldering kingdoms Of the
Old World to come to this land of plenty
and have their own vine and fig tree, the
Mayor Of the city Of New York discour-
ages immigration by every sussion which
suggests itself to his bad hesrt, simply for
the reason that immigration may add 1
few soldiers to the Union army While
The people of the North west are filled With
JOY 1t the success of our arms in the very
heart of the rebellion, this same Mayor |
forbids the loyal people Of New York to |
rejoice because it is victory over his
own friends and brethren. The mer-
chants Of New York m.y think they have

But they have not. any more than = mo-
nopoly Of the virtues. PHILADELPHIA 10
