rnembering the readers Of the Waterman and

for President making. The National Com

candidate for the next Presidency. The 7th

NEW YORK, Feb. 81.
The Times says the steamer Fulton brought
information of a sad reverse TO our expedi-
tion under Gen. Seymour in Florida. We
are unable TO give details, because, after the
Fulton had put into the bay, she was board
ed by the provost marshal aud quarter mas
ter, with orders from Gen. Gilmore to de-
prive passengers of all private letters in their
possession. To passenger we are indebted
for the following facts Of the battle on the
Goth. Our troops, under Gen. Seymour. met
the enemy $4,000 strong, 55 miles beyond
jacksonville and miles from Sanderson, on
the line of the Jacksonville and Tallahasse
railroad. The battle was desperately fought
during three hours, and at sunset our forces
overpowered in numbers returned to Sander
son, taking with them the greater part OF the
wounded. The 7th Connecticut. 7th N. H..
40th Mass, 48th and l50th N. Y, and eth
u. s. Regulars were engaged. Col. Cribley
of the Sth u. S., was feft dead on the field
Col. Reed, Hungarian officer was mortally
wounded. All the officers OF Hamlin's 9at-
terry were wounded. The Cosmopolitan ar
rived at Beaufort on Monday with 270 of the
wounded. The enemy captured five guns.-.
1t is supposed that the troops we're from
Braggs army. Our loss is estimated at from
500 to 1900. rs rebel prisoners were brought
in by .he Fulton.
The Heralds naval correspondence dated
OFF Mobile. 10th inst, says;-The Hartford
with Admiral Farragut and six mortar schoon-
ers are with tho fleet. 1t is announced that
they will engage Fort Gaines to-day, De-
serters state that there are about 20. 900 reb-
ell troops in and around Mobile. Two rebel
ron-clAds,- Tennessee and Nashville
are in the harbor. The rebel programme is
stated to be an ascent of the Mississippi, by
these vessels, capture New Orleans and block
ade the river between there and Matches. In
this they were to be assisted by Gen. Magru-
der's aud Tsylor's forces.
Forty-6ye of the ringleadeFs Of the recent
mutiny in Fort Morgan were under sentence
OF death. II executed it will seriously injure
the rebel cause in Mobile.
The Hersld's dispatch from Western Vir-
gnia reports that big fight has occurred be-
tween Capt. Harper's Company OF Swamp
Dragons" and 200 Of lmboden's men, at
the mouth of the Senaca River, who were
beut on a raid Nothing is known OF the re-
suit. but it's tone leaves the inference that I'm
bodsn was defeated.
The Richmond Examiner oftle 22nd says;
II Grant defeats Johnston Georgia and Ala
bams are open TO him and Mobile will TALL
without a struggle.
