Gen. Seymour’s forces still remain in front of Jacksonville. The videttes are about a mile be yond Camp Finegan, and nine miles from the town itself. The troops have entirely recovered from the slight shock imparted by the late unfortunate result at Olustee, and are in excellent condition to again meet the enemy. We do not entertain the slightest belief that the enemy will attack ns in our present position. Whether another fight oc curs depends altogether on our advance move ments. The fortifications it front of Jacksonville are of a formidable character, either for offensive or de fensive purposes. The troops have been at work on them day and night, and an immense amount of labor has been bestowed upon them. The absurd repoits that our forces were in imminent danger of capture were, without the shadow of foundation, The enemy was too badly crippled to follow us on the retreat, and we are confident that he has little relish to attack us now. A number of gunboats lie in the stream ready at a moment’s notice to open fire. Gen. Seymour’s command has been largely reinforced, so that at the present moment it far exceeds the number that the rebels are re ported to possess. i A cavalry skirmish between one company of the rebels and a detachment ol the Independent Mas sachusetts Battalion, occurred on Saturday, a short “fe beyond Camp Flnegan. The fight was of short durauon, and resultedin the complete rout a loss of one killed and three M?wpoit W ?i« a f a r} tles occu rred on our side. at “iSSPi- ?.““> of the Signal Corps, and Acting Aid to General Seymour, re- Spommunicate with the enemy P 1 truce.

The Washington correspondent of the Tribune telegraphs as follows: From private intelUgence received this evening from Charleston we learn that the business of blockade Tunning has been resumed there, and that hardly a week elapses without a.couple of block ade;runners running over the pass and entering tnexiarbor. his is attributed to the insufficiency of our blockading squadron, greatly reduced by Gillmore s expedition, and to a lack of vigilance in the officers entrusted to watch the entrance of i he J! a y- The Tepse ls which ha-re succeeded iu bpraing the squadron during the last month came with lull assorted cargoes of muskets of English manufacture, shoes, blankets and medicines. The comparative rest which the Charlestonians Imre recently enjoyed has been used by them m the completion of the works of defence which are now progressing rapidly, and which will soon, they hope, make Charleston one of the strongest of the rebel cities. All the disposable hands are now engaged upon these fortifications, numbering, it is said, oyer 10,000 men. .The slaveholders have been compelled to furnish to the military authori ties one-foqrth of all the male slaves between the ages of 15 and 50. All the free colored males of the same age are required to give themselves up for the same purpose. The Charlestonians have established a Joint Stock Company for the purpose of blockade*run ning, and have already secured a couple of swift steamers, now employed in the trade between Nassau and Charleston. These steamers, it is re ported, have made two successful trips between the two cities during the last month. CUT BULLETOr. Mb. Mubdoch’s Patbiotic Lecttre akd Becitatioss.—Last evening Mr. J. E. Murdoch gave his second entertainment at the Academy of Music, on behalf of the “Special Belief.’ * The house was a full and brilliant one, and Mar. Mur doch’s eloquent and patriotic utterances were greeted with the heartiest sympathy and the warm est applause. His subject was “Providence, and Love of Country,” and nobly was it discussed. Recitation* of patriotic poetry were interspersed with the lecture, and were listened to with the in tense interest which Mr. Murdoch’s admirers always accord to his admirable elocutionary efforts. The recitation* were introduced by quotations from Bryon’* “Giaour.” He gave various read lags from Mr. Boker—“The Standard-Bearer's Battle-Cry, ’ from Whittier, * ‘Barbara Frietchie,»» from Bayard Taylor, “Scott and the Veteran,” and others, together with Janvier’s new poem, “Gettysburg.” Ex-Governor Pollock made some felicitous remarks at the opening of the en tertainment. Military Funeral.— The interment of Ma jor Henry C. Whelan, of the «th Pennsylvania Cavalry, took place yesterday at St. Mary’s church. The funeral was attended by a battalion of the Provost Guard, commanded by Colonel Frink, and the old corps off Washington Grays, un der Lieutenant Ralston, preceded by Blrgfeld’s Band. A large number of army and navy officers, and the male friends of the deceased, formed apart of the procession. At the chnrch a solemn re quiem mass was celebrated by BeT. George Stro be!, assisted by Rev. Chas. M Honigle as Deacon; and Rev. T. Hanni-gan as Sub-Deacon. The mu sic of Ohnewald s Requiem Mass was snog by the Choir.

Thb Chestnut. —Mr. Grover still presents lov drßma with novelty after rovelty, and with each new piay the scenery improves, and all tne appointments become more attractive. Last evening Marston’s “Pure Gold” was given to a good house, and it passed off very well, consider ing the fact that the artists generally were scarcely up in their parts, and that they seemed to fear to let themselves ont with spirit and energy. The plot turns on the false accusation of a father, of robbery and murder, and his restoration to his daughter and to society, with an untarnished re putation. The father aforesaid was played bv Harry Pearson: the daughter by Miss Sophy Gim t ef- Miss G. acted with her usual tenderness and effectiveness. Mils' Germon gave an admirable portraiture of a noble-hearted and quick witted English lady; Mr. Donaldson played a rake and dandy with his usual ability; Mr. Chapman did the best he could with the character of a stiff old aristocrat of broken fortune, and Mr. Mordaunt threw some spirit into the part of an Italian re fugee. The minor parts were tolerahlv performed and will be given with much more effect at later I erformances of this attractive piece, when all the artists are,familiarized with the text aud the sitca tione. To-night * 'The Coßeen Bawn' ’ will be re peated, and shortly “The Ticket-of-Leave Man” will be revived. “Our First Babt” is the subject of Mr. De Cordova’s third and last lecture at Concert Hall on Thursday evening. Judging from the two first, we have no doubt the Hail will be filled to over flowing.

It was feared for a while that the Are 'wo nld s 'W’eepabroad streak direct through, the city from the Reed Hon«e to the Lake, but the vigorous exertions of the people in that loca lity saved ns from that calamity: The magnifi cent block known as Wayne Hall, was in great danger for a while, together with the buildings adjoining. The house at the comer of French ami Fonr.h streets belonged to the Hamot estate: tha ether, we believe, to the Colt estate. . The people living in these houses were all poor, and we fear that some of Stem will suffer greatly.

The health of Governor Hicks is slowly improv ing, but bis condition is now such that he can be removed from Washington to his home, near Cam. bridge, Md.~, with safety. Hon. Fernando Wood is lying dangerously ill at his residence, at Bloomingdale, from an attack of pneumonia. ' Mrs. A. D. Richardson, the wire of the corres pondent of the New York Tribune, died on Friday last, at her home in Massachusetts, after a -single week’s illness. Her disease was congestion of the brain, induced by an attack of measles, hut thatlt should have taken this form is to be attributed doubtless to the intense anxiety she has suffered in. consequence of her husband’s imprisonment. Mr. Richardson, with another correspondent of the Trtbunt, Mr. Julius Browne, was taken prisoner on the 3d of May last, while attempting to pass Vicksburg in a tng, which was blown up by a rebel shot. - They were sent to Richmond; vritht paroles in their pockets for exchange, and thrown into Liibby Prison. From bitty Prison they were removed early in the winter to Castle Thunder, and from Castle Thunder more recently to North. Carolina. To this cruel treatmentof Mr. Richard son is now added the death of his wife and the or phanage of his children. Tee Grb'coat Be Soto.—A private letter from Havana, dated March 1, states that the United States gunboat Be Soto was in the dry dock there. The blockade-runners and Seces sionists in Havana had threatened to burn the vessel, and also threatened the officers with violence. The Spanish authorities, however, had given the officers of the Be Soto permission to wear their side-arms, and they now visit the city fully armed.
