The amcnnt of sales reported at the Department to-day was 82, 000,150. The total amount reported at the Departmentin the last five days is 87,400,000. The report of the Committee on the Conduct of the War relative to the progress, origin and results of the expedition into Florida, commences with the statement that on the 15th of December last, Gen. Gillmore addressed to Gen. Halleck a pro position to send a force to operate in that State to recover its most valuable territory, cut off a rich source of the enemy's supplies and increase the Humber of colored troops. On the 22d Gen. Halleck replied, authorizing him (Gilimorej to undertake such operations as he might deem best, while securing the position al ready held before Charleston. On January 14th Gen. Gillmore asked permis eion to establish on the west branch of St. Olair river, in Florida, a depot preparatory to an early advance, and ox the fo , lowing day he wrote to the Secretary of War in relation •to colored troops io garrison the forts from which the troops for the ex pedition 'were to be drawn. On the 2.2 d of January General Halleck wrote: 4 gln regard to your proposed operations in Florida, the Secretary replied that the matter bad been lett entirely to your judgment and discretion with the means at your command. As the object of the pro posed expedition has not been explained, it Is im possible to. judge here of its advantages or practi cability. It it is expected to give an outlet for cot ton or open a favorable field for the enlistment of colored troops, the advantages may be sufficient to i n i ih i g4WeYstirril Ci . ta.7lTl7 [ Fil i fiiel i nVl T oua u ce . to such expeditions. If-successful, they merely absorb our troops is garrison to occupy the places captured, but have little or no influence upon the progress of the war." General Gillmore urged in reply that such an occupation would afford an outlet to cotton, lum ber, and other products, and prevent the rebels from obtaining rich supplies of beef and establish ing railroad commnrdeszion elsewhere by the seizure and the :use of the rails of the Fernandina and St. Mary's Railroad.. It would also obtain colored recruits and inaugurate measures for the speedy restoration of Florida to her alle giance. The only step taken by the President m this affair seems to have been she following : EinCreuvr. MANSION, W.A.E.E.LtIGTOIT, Jan. 13, 1964.—ilfejor-Geneta/ Gil/more: I understat d an effort ir. being made by some worthy gentlemen to reconstruct a loyal State government - in Florida. Florida is in your department, and it is not un likely that you may be there in person. I have given Mr. Hay a COMmitgion of major, and beet him to,yonwith some blank books and other blanks SOMA in the reconstruction. He will explain as to the manner -of using blanks, and also my general TieWS on the subject. It i,s.desirable for all to en operate, but if irreconcilable differences of opinion .shall arise, you are master. wish the thing done in the most speedy way 4>osEible so that when done it lie within the range laf the isle proclamation on the subject. The detail labOr will, of course, have to be done by others, but I shall be greatly obliged if you will give it such general supervision as you can find consistent with your more strictly military duties. It-igned) A. LINCOLN. The expedition, numbering six or seven thou sand men, was placed by Gen. Gillmore under the command .of Gen. Seymour, and Rear Admiral Dahlgren furnished three gunboats. Particulars Of these operations are given, which have bees substantially communicated to the press hereto fore. After. Gen. (ill more, who had accompanied life expedition, had returned to Hilton Head, he received a despatch from the commanding gene ral, desiring that a diversion might be made against Savannah, to prevent the sending of relief to the rebel forces In Florida. Gen. Gillmore immedi. ably despatched Gen. Turner, his chief of staff, with orders to fall back. A terrible storm prevented this order from reaching Jacksonville till the battle of 01119 tee was raging. Turner was in communication with Gen. Seymonr,'but deemed it expedient to witthhold the order during the engagement. The remainder -of the report. shows that oar forces were less than those of the rebels, who had the advantage of - position In improvised intrenchments of logs, rifle-pits, etc. Gen. Seymour is secure in his present position, having been reinforced. Geri. Turner's testimony concerning the colored troops, is -that they beh..ved about as well as the white troops. The Ist North Carolina colored regiment supported Captain Elder's battery. The Captain, who had been in more than thirty engagements in the Army of the Potomac, said he had never seen troops light better than that regiment of colored troops. SOUTHERN NEWS.

A friend who traveled with Gen. Robert E. Lee on his way down from Gordons vilie to Richmond, says he has a very hale and vigorous appearance, and looks as though there were a dozen or more good campaigns in him yet. 'He is a man of fine commanding appearance, six feet or upwards in height, .and weighs probably the rise of one hun dred and eighty. But for his white beard, which he wears entire, but trimmed short,.and his silver hair, he would be comparatively a young looking man, barely more than in the prune of life. The -General is•affable, polite and unassuming, and shares the discomforts of a rai'road coach with or dinary travelers. He travels without a staff* or other attendant. He is first to rise and offer his seat to ladies,'lf any difficulty occurs in seating them. He talks freely of affairs generallY,but had little to - say concerning the army and the coun try. At one stilton where an eiger crowd were gazing at him, he modesty remarked: 44 1 sup pose these people are Speculating as to 'what is on foot now." He speaks quickly, sometimes binsquely, and with the tone of one who is aeons; turned to command. His countenance is one indi cative of firmness and decision of character, with rather more absence of that mild and benevolent caste than his habitual tolerance and amiability would' lead one to expect. He looks the stern sol dier. , The General is as unostentatious and unas suming in dress as he is in manners. He wears a colonel's coat, (three stars without the wreath,) a good deal faded, blue pantaloons, with top-boots, blue cloth calms, and 'a high left hat, without adornment save a small cord around the crown."-- Charleston Courier. The Conner says of the iron-clad' recently winched at Charleston: The Ashley has been built, finished and launched under a, heayy_ fire, the enemy having been in formed of the location of the boat by deserters. Great credit is due to Mr. Jones, who'has perse vered and personally superintended the work: dur ing the whole bombardment, AFFAIRS Al' ALNXANDRIA VIRGINIA.—The wharves for the new ferry between Alexandria and Washington are being constructed in the most substantial manner.
