THE tWAR.
The Federal troops under General
Gillmorb have met with a disaster in
Florida: The expedition sent recent
ly' to Jacksonville, after capturing
that place 'advanced into the interior
of the State. Jacksonville is near
'the northern boundary of Florida
and stands on the border of a bay
forming the mouth of St. John's Riv.
er. .This river flows north and curves
around to the east within a shortdis
tance- of Jacksonville. A railroad
runs west from Jacksonville to Tal
. lahassee which is almost two hnn
.dred miles distant. The Federal ex
') ',edition; was sent along this railroad
Ito capture Tallehasses, which is the
capital of the'State, with the inten
tion, of establishing a new Govern
went there. For :few miles it kept
alongthe border of the river, but as
thEtt. -river gradually curved to the
„southward; the expedition following
tithe :line of the railroad, reached into
the interior. The supply boats and
, transports also sailed up the river to
the place where the railroad left it,
,about five miles from Jacksonville,
and there established a supply post.
•, ;The expedition under General Sey
,•mour was about six thousand strong,
principally negroes. For two or
three days it advanced without find
ing an enemy, and on the 20th instant
(last'Saturday week) was near Olus
tee, ra, station on the `railroad fifty
'miles west of Jacksonville. Here the
enemy surprised it, and •after a fierce
tautest of three hours the Federal
troops withdrew leaving all their
/lead and a great part of their wound
ed in the enemy's hands. Five guns
were captured and alarge number of
iprisoners. The total loss will reach
ffteerk hundred. Being defeated, the
expedition retreated as quickly as
• possible to Jacksonville, the enemy
pursuing. On reaching the St. John's
river the supply post near Jackson
ville was broken up and the Federal
*am withdrew into the town. A'
steam transportwhich was aground
was burned to prevent her falling
into the 'enemy's hands. The Con-

VIOLENCE IN LEBANON!
The endeavors of the Lebanon
Courier and its good friends to incite
the soldiers to riot and violence, cul
minated on Thnisday last in, what
they have been 'teaching and wishing
for. When the Courier threatened
that the "copperheads would wish
the in.ountains,, to cover them upon
the return of the soldiers," it inaugu-

last Thursday. When they,bad.rais7.
ed "spirits from *e v.aisty deep" they
were appalled Arthem theniselves,
and did not know what to do 'with
them, especially, when they found
that they were,threaiened to be also
' plagued. by. them. , We are, grieved
to chronicle-the !scenes of last Thurs
day, and had rather throWn a 'veil
over there, but as a faithfuljelithalist.
we would fail in our duty if we fol
lowed the dictates of our heart rath
er than our duty to the public.
A number of 'men dressed in' the
honorable and' distinctive uniforin of
the 'United States, and who claimed
to be soidiers; made 4 an attack npon
the headquarters of the Democratic
Club room of this borough; tore down
a transparency inscribed.' with the
names of "Woodward, Lowrie and
Democracy," pitched the pictures of
the Club into the streets, threatened
to gut our office, maltreated our citi
zens; 'and, in general, enaeavored to
subject our people and property to
mob violence.
Threats had been made before last
Thursday that outrage and violence
was intended, and on that day,
through the incentives of evil -dispos
ed persons and bad Whiskey, the
threats culminated in *hat will ever
remain a blot on the fair fame and
name of those who participated, as
well as those who instigated and
counseled them.
The Club room is directly over the
ADVERTISBR. office, the . ' eritrance to
both being the same. While at work
on Thursday afternoon last, we heard
a noise down stairs, and shortly after
were told that a number of soldiers
intended to sack the Club roMand
destroy ,the transParency. .One of
the pa4y, at the same time, made
his appearance in our office, and de-.

but did not think that .it was honor!

them into our office. They were in a
highly excited state, and demait t led
to know whether we Were for the

one of the ways the money goes.

abuse. of Gen. :McClellan; while it •has
not a word to say against the squan

gates for himself fr,om Florida, that
is all right in the estimation of the
Courier;-when people chase' to admire
a soldier who his faithfully and suc

self on every occasion. The inspir

of you in every respect. There is

your past. I have one hope, and that
is that we may yet serve together
