thought they had a right TO make the most OF

dry local bills were ordered TO third reading Recess

received from Gov. Seymour about the draft, saying
that reduction of between 10 900 and a. 900 had been

OIUsTEF,
another TOa.

We preferred to print without comment yes
terday our correspondents account of the battle
Of Olustee. To-day il is necessary to say a
word on the CEASES Of the defeat.
There is no essential disagreement between
the three narratives which were published yes
terday, though one ofthem-that of The Times
lis written in manifest wish to shield Gen.
Seymour from blame. But since it is also
truthfully written, it is more damaging to him
than any other account.
The decisive facts are these:
Gen. Seymour was at BARRIERS Station, thirty
four niles from jacksonville, on the Florida
Central Railroad, on the 10Th of February, with
column Of 1900 infantry, 400 cavalry, and 20
guns. He started that column on the morning
of the Goth, at Z o'clock, toward Olustec, at
which place, according to his information, the
enemy were posted in force. Although moving
avowedly in search Of q fight, no skirmishers
were thrown out to cover his tanks, but the
troops were marched in close order, in three
columns, cavalry and mounted infantry in front.
The advance came upon the enemy at p. III.
At that time, Ger. Seymour's troops had been
in motion, over difficult roads, without rest OF
rations, for five hours. exhausted, faint, and
hungry" says The Times narrative, "they were
suddenly attacked by a large force Of the enemy,
concealed behind thick wood, waiting with
complacent satisfaction the entry u our men
into his ambush; very much after the manner
that the spider would have the fly walk into
his parlOr."
The action lasted three hours. Gen. Sey-
mour, having permitted his troops IN the first
place to be Ganked, established them finally be-
tween two swamps, one in front preventing
them from attacking the enemy one in tho rear
preventing their retreat. In that horrible trap,
subjected to a fire in front from twice their
number, TO fire from sharp-shooter5 in the
trees which rendered artillery nearly useless,
and to an enflading fire which demoralized at
least two regiments in succession Gen. Sew
mour held his brave troops, and surveyed their
slaughter with unmatched equanimity."
When out of less than ), 900 men, 1900 had
been killed or wounded, the remainder were
allowed TO fall back. The 5ith Massachusetts
snd lst North Carolina-colored repimeota-
covered tie rcreat. And so ended tho battle of
Olusicc.

Let US here observe that the attacks on
President Lincoln with regard TO this Florida
business seem to us equally unjust with those
on the cOlored soldiers. We refrain, so far as
possible, from Military criticSmi but there is
no single account from this Florida reverse
which does not make Gen. Seymour wholly re-
sponsible for it, He ran into the trap set for
him, not in obedience to his orders, but in def
sDce of them, and of every dictate of prudence
and common-scnse. President Lincoln il just
