An Explanation.l

WASHINGTON, March s.--Tbis evenings
Republican has the following s
In our first edition Yesterday we doubted
the statement that Col. Dahlgren reached
ourlines ia safety, we did SO because we
knew at the time that the Richmond SEMI
mel of Saturday, i copy of which reached
Gen. Meade's headquarters: announced that
Col Dahlgren was killed in the skirmish at
Kings and Queens G. 81. This fact was te-
legraphed to the President late on Satur-
day night, or hours after Gen. Buffers
deapatch of Sunday was received announc-
ing the safety of Col. Dahlgren.
The news of the death oflthe Col. was
not made known to bis father the Admiral
until this morning, because there was a
q lingering hope therclmight bessome mis-
take about it in the Sentinel. Last night
late Gen. Butler telegraphed that he had
received information confirming the an
nouncement in the Sentinel that Col. Dahl
gren was killed at Kings aud Quecnss G. IL.
The President being satisfied there was
no longer any good reason to doubt bis
death, deemed it his duty this morning TO
communicate the facts to Admiral Dalghren
which was done.

The repulse in Florida is not much ale
viated by later accounts. Our troops fought
desperately bnt were completely overpow
cred and suffered terribly. The whole ex.
pedition seems to have been, from the first
exceedingly ill-starred and unadvised. 1t had
a confessedly political aim, the occupation
OF Florida being of no possible advantage
in military point Of view. We have had
it twice before and each time evacuated il
because il was, strategicalIy, of no impor
lance whatever The New York journals
in view of the fact that most Of the troops
engaged were from that city and State are
particularly severe in their comments upon
this useless waste of blood and treasure
