Incident. OF the f,ebelIion.

From the Florids Peninsula
There are few facts connected with
the escape of General Breckenridge and
Mr.. Benjamin from the Co federacy
which are, perhaps, not generally known.
After the surrender of General Lee's
army both General Breckenridge and
Mr.. Benjamin made their way to Fiori-
da. General Breckenridge siauck the
State neaf Monticello. where he found
friends who assisted him in getting TO
Marion Couhte, from whence he hoped
to find an opportunity TO get cut o. The
country.
General Breckenridge spent number
of days in hunting and visiting with his
friends in Marion, but knowing that he
could not remain there long his friends
procured small metallic boat, in which
he and his companions, Colonel Wilton
and Captain Wood, and the Generals
faithful servant, soon found themselves
ascending the StJohn's river The par
ty after much toll, reached New Smyr-
ma, where they found a schooner, which
carried them safely to Nassau, n. P.
The General was known as Colonel
Cabell.
Mr.. Benjamin also struck Florida near
Monticello, where he met friends who
assisted him Oh to the vicinity of this
place. Here Mr. Benjamin hoped to
find some vessel to Cuba or Oneof the Ba-
hama islands but there was astrict watch
kept by the United States troops station
ed here, and there was butfew boats left
on the coast. But Mr.. Benjamin finally
procured small boat at Mapetee, upon
which the ex-United States Senator and
Confederate States ex-Secretary of Stat
embarked as cook, and in few days
found himself under the protecting folds
of the british flag. Mr.. Benjamin pass
ed himself off as a hunter named How
ard. There is quite an amusing little
anecdote connected with Mr.. Benjamin
during his stay with a friend of ours in
this vicinity, but we refrain from MAX
ing it public.
