THE RECENT DISASTER IN FLORID

THE RECENT DISASTER IN FLORIDA.
A private letter from an officer in the
Massachusetts, 10th amounted Infantry
gives some particulars of the loss in that
regiment in the recent battle The letter
is dated Jacksonville, Feb. 22, to which
place the regiment had returned. The
regiment lost one officer, Lieut.. Charles B.
Leathe, and twenty men. The writer,
"Clarkc Remick, wounded-not bad"
Col. Henry had three horses .shot under
him, and the regiment lost fifty horses.
The writer gives the total loss as eight or
nine hundred.
Another letter from the same officer da-
ted at BARRIERS, Columbia Co., Fla, Feb.
IS, previous to the disastrous retreat,
says:
"0ur regiment has seen several engage
ments, in one.of which five pieces Of ar
tillery were captured by us; also whole
rebel camp. the rebels having barely time
to get out of their beds, leaving every
thing behind them and scattering like
so many sheep. Not gun was fred nor
man hurt. Another skirmish was on
this stream where we now lay, in which
we lost eight or ten men killed and sever
al wounded. The rebel loss was much
more serious, and we captured 80 horses.
Another skirmish was at Lake City, Tor
Aligator) in which we were overpowered,
having no infantry support, and were
obliged to retreat seven miles. The far
thest point we went from here was Starke,
about in the centre Of the state A few
miles south is Fort Hardec, famous in the
Indian wars" .."

and 1900.
"Gen. Seymour is severely censured in
not throwing out scouts and skirmishers

troops were led into trap.

suffered severely. The rebel sharpshoot-
ers picked off their horses and the guns

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
The following is the vote for Commits
,ioner as far as heard from:
THE WAR NEWS.

THE WAR NEWS.
The western news will be read with
keen interest. The movement of Gener-
al Grant, about which we have had so
many rumors from army correspondents,
seems at length to have commenced. His
army, in force, has advanced to Tunnel
hill, and, at last accounts, was near Dial
ton. Whether this means Rome and At
lanta, or is merely a movement to clear
the country in his front, preparatory to
the spring campaign. few days will de-
termine. We doubt whether he is pre-
pared to march upon Atlanta; still Gen.
Grant has unexpected ways of doing
things, and he may march upon that city
simply because it looks unlikely that ne
would or could do so. aoa a5Ha.
The movements of General Sherman
are still involved in obscurity, and we
can we'll understand why great anxiety
should be felt in Washington respecting
his position and success We surmised,
when the news came of General Sherman 8
march eastward from Vicksburg, that his
object was to distract the attention of the
enemy, to draw rebel troops to Polk at
Meridian, and to Mobile, preparatory to
an advance of General Grants forces
against Johnston at Dalton. We still
think this is the most reasonable theory
Of the movement from Vicksburg. That
General Sherman has captured Selma we
do not not believe, for the simple reason
that he could not afford to 60 so far from
his base Of supplies with his communica-
tions cut off and the enemy in force
upon his rear. An army of thirty thous-
and men cannot live on air, and the coun-
try he marches through is not rich enough
to allow him to subsist by foraging.
Were he to try to do so his army would
become 50 scattered over vast extent Of
country as to be a mere mob, and could
offer very little resistance to the powerful
forces of cavalry which are reported to be
hanging on his tanks and rear. Nor dc
we credit the theory of his marching
upon Mobile. According to rebel ac
counts, to accomplish that feat he would
be necessitated to march one hundred and
sixty miles by the roads leading from
Quitman. The country is pine barrer
and has no provisions to support an army
We should not be surprised, therefore, t.
hear that, after his object had been accom-
plished of thoroughly alarming the rebels
and laying waste their country as far al
the Tombigbee, General Sherman had re
turned by the way he came. If he sno
heard from soon at Vicksburg it SHOULD
excite the most lively alarm, for it nigh
mean that his army was cnt off, surroun
ded, and compelled to surrender for wan
of provisions. The reports that he ha'
cut General Folks army in two, and sent
them flying in different directions, mus
be taken with many grains of allowance
also that Admiral Farragut has com
menced an attack upon Mobile. Thi
last we think will not occur until he j
reinforced by some iron-clads from New
. York World.
