'Jacksonville, Feb. 14; IS6
Feb. C, the pier at Hilton Head with
transports, troops and siores. The expedition
■was about to start: All preparations that had beeu
making for months., were to ciatmnate in action.
It was an Army Corps taat General Seymour com
manded on this occasion. lutantry, engineers,
cavhlfy, light and . heavy artillery; quarter
masterlsi commissary's, ordnance and medical
stores! all the myriad necessaries ol an indepen
dent lorce had been gathered together.' 1 .
On Sunday, Feb. 7, at 9 o’clock, the Expedition
came to a rendezvous in the mouth or the St.
Johix’s River, on the c*ast of Florida. At li
o’clock the transports proceeded up the river, and
after a few delays, caused by grounding on eaud
bars, backing olf, and the like got to Jaeksonvill
abont 4 P. M. Here the Maple Leaf tied up to the
wharf. The General Hunter proceeded to iho
wharf* • next above. As the second, mate,
Mr. Elijah Norris, was tyiug a hawser
to a post on the dock, a volley was fired irom a
small ruinous bonsfe fronting the river. Oneot
iha-bullets pierced Mr. .Norris’ shoulder, and
penetrating the side of the boat behind him. He-i ;
now doing well. No other casualty happened:
Thes4th Massachusetts, colored, Ooi. Hailowell
wereon board the Gen. Hunter and IVliple Laaf.
They swarmed ont into the streets of Jacksonville,
deployed as~ skirmishers, captured the sigm.
station, from which the volley had been fired,
broughtin three signal-men and three signal-guards
as. prisoners, and, in general, behaved witn
soldierly alacrity and bearieg.
Nextaskore were the -iOthMassachusetts Mounted
Infantry, Col. Henry, and the Independent Mas
? achnsetts Cavalry, the whole under the command
<f Major Stevens., These were accompanied by
General Seymour and his staff, and made an ex
amination of tne neighborhood, guided by refuge-s
who had been brought lor the purpose. It was
ascertained that a vidette of twenty cavalry
men had been posted at Jacksonville, and had es
caped when the transports turned the bead in
river. No force-coula be found neaier than Cimp
* Finnegan, where about 50U men were said to be?
under command of Lieut.-Ooi. McCormick. A
considerable force was said to be at a place called
Baldwin, about twenty, miles from Jacksonville,
on the Tallahassee river. Gen. Finnegan was re
ported as the rebel in command. Guards wore
posted around Jacksonville; headquarters were
chosen, and the rest of the troops were landed
The 115th N. Y. V., were marched out toward the
railroad, and night fell upon Jacksonville, in the
possession of the Union troops.
Next day a strong force was thrown out, and
headed by the cavalry, surprised 'and captured a
rebel battery of eight pieces with ammnnitioa. In
this exploit the commands of Col. Jlenry and Ma
jor Stevens greatly distinguished themselves.
They rode past the rebels drawn np ia line of bat
tle at not staying to answer the
challenge of the sentries. Here none butiufantrv
were posted rebels, and not more than 500
men tvere found to have beeu there. Charging after
midnight upsn the terrified gunners of Abel’s rebel
battery, resistance was useless, I heir feeble ami
terrified supports of cavalry and infantry fell back,
and scatterea. A rebel sergeant captured declares '
the stampede to have been general and very cow
ardly. In the meantime, the brigade commanded
by Col. Barton, in which were the 47th, 4sth and
115th New York, and the 51th Massachusefs
pressed closely upon the Confederates at Baldwin,
"and'scattered them, taking about 1,000 prisoners.
In this brilliant charge 17 men were wounded,
two mortally;
On Thursday, February 11, Maj. Stevens's and
Col Henry’s cavalry command overtook the
enemy at the Little St. Mary’s River, three
quarters of amile from Barber’s Station, and dis
persed them after a brief resistance. Here some
'3O prisoners were captured, and a nuinoar were
killed and wounded. Of ihe cavalry, 17 received
gun-shots, or.which two have proved faul. The
survivors, will be brought to Hilton Head on the
Cosmopolitan, and will receive every attention
while on board the hospital ship.
The rebel troops in Florida adopt the Indian me
thods of warfare. They hide in bushes, pour vol
leys upon detached men, arrange ambuscades, scat
ter when attacked, and reassemble by previous
arrangement. The two cavalrymen of the 40th
Massachusetts killed at Little St. Many’s each re
ceived five bails from unseen foes. They had been
sent forward to examine, the one a ford, the other
a bridge. Both were orderly sergeants.
Proceeding to Sanderson, the cavalry lonnd an
‘ immense depot of rebel Commissary's and Quar
termaster’s stores all in llames, lit’by the enemy
in their hasty retreat. Only one large building
used for storing salt, was spared. Tli*s was full
and fell into the possession oi the United States.
Sanderson is on the Jacksonville and Tallahas*«e
Railroad, midway between Baldwin and Lake
city, 40 zniles from Jacksonville.
Further reconnoissancee have been made as far
as Lake City, Fia., where the rebels will probably
make a stand. They are fortifying the place.
An examination of Green Cove Springs was i
made on the 13th by Hr. Smith, Chief Medical JDi- :
rector of the Department. The place is situate 35 1
miles above Jacksonville,' on the St. John’s river
and derives its name from a very fine sulphur
spring. Three hotels, suitable for hospital pur
poses, were found and taken possession of These
had been used as barracks by the rebels. Three
rebels id a small boat lied at the approach of the
transport Nelly Baker, in which Dr. Swift and his ■
protecting force were embarked. The boat
one man and three loaded muskets were captured.’
f otei fixtures were carried off; with large
quantities of turpentine, rosin and pitch. Thiee
7 amihes took refuge on the Nelly Baker, and were

reconnoissance was as far as Picolata 4 it

a portion of my command, under Brigadier Gen.

afternoon ot the same day.
The advance, under Colonel Guy Y.

mto the interior on the night of the Sth, passed by
tbe enemy, drawn up in line of battle at Camp
Finnegan, seven miles from Jacksonville, sur
prised and captured a battery three miles in the
rear of the camp about midnight, and reached this
place about sunrise this morning.
At our approach, the enemy abandoned and sunk
the steamer St. Mary’s, and burned 270 bales of
cotton, a few miles above Jacksonville. We have
taken, without the loss of a man, over 100 priso-’
ners 8 pieces of excellent field artillery, in ser
viceable condition, and well supplied with ammu

Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 15 — The telegraph
has been established from this point to Baldwin,
the railroad junction and Barber’s station where
our force now stands. It is frequently cut by
prowling enemies. Communication is k-pt open by
couriers. Three have been shotatbntnonestruckso
far. One rebel soldier captured, and liberatedafc-»r
taking the oath of allegiance, has been arrested
for shooting at a courier. If the charge is proved
against him he will hang. It is reported to-day
thatthe J St. Mary’s iron river steamboat, aban
doned by the rebels, has not been destroyed, bu'
that the cotton was removed, and the water let
into the ship to sink her. Means have already
been taken to raise her, and their success is san
guinely anticipated by the authorities.
Native refugees continue to arrive in Jackson
ville. Some have been hiding in the wood from
the rebel cousciiption for overtwo months. Two,
who came in this morning, report th» country
abandoned and undefended as far as Lake City.
It is estimated that a regiment has be n detached
from Savannah, Ga, to reinforce the rebels in
Florida. Their headquarters are nowat Houston.
Not more than 2,5b0 of the enenar are known to be
in tbe State.

Oncol the most valuable or ail recent inven

Tobacco, is the above named Pipe.
It differ* from the old style in having two Tabes
throughout tue stem, instead of one, whereby the
smoke is kept entirely separate from tha saliva
andnicoiine. The effect is really charming. The
pure Oder of the Tobaeco is preserved, thus ren
uering the smoke far more delicious, andtho'Pipe
never becomes- offensive.
This Pi - e is rapidly superseding the old style of
Pipos, and monopolizing Ihef ,vor of all smokers,
beeause it is in reality far better and cheaper than
olh-rs.
