up to their shoulders, crossed over to the pine-land, turned upon the rebel brigade which defended the passage, and routed it in utter disorder. It was in this attack that General Wager Swayne lost his leg, and he had to be conveyed back to Pocotaligo. Still, the loss of life was very small, in proportion to the advantages gained, for the enemy at once abandoned the whole line of the Salkiehatchie, and the Fifteenth Corps passed over at Beaufort's Bridge, without opposition. On the 5th of February I was at Beaufort's Bridge, by which time General A. S. Williams had got up with five brigades of the Twentieth Corps; I also heard of General Kilpatrick's being abreast of us, at Barnwell, and then gave orders for the march straight for the railroad at Midway. I still remained with the Fifteenth Corps, which, on the 6th of February, was five miles from Bamberg. As a matter of course, I expected severe resistance at this railroad, for its loss would sever all the communications of the

The vessels will be in readiness to start to-morrow morning. By order of J. L. Reno, Brigadier-General. Edward M. Neill, A. A.G. February 5. After a stay of three weeks and two days inside of Hatteras Inlet we are at length in motion. At an early hour this morning active movements commenced. A few vessels that had not yet been towed into position were hauled astern of steamers and lines stretched between them. At half-past 7, Flag-Officer Goldsborough's vessel, the Philadelphia, moved forward, heading partly southward, and was followed by the other vessels of the naval squadron. As the squadron held a southward course f

Presentation to Mrs. Eversol.--On the evening of the fifth February, at Cape Girardeau, Capt. Ben. Sousley, in behalf of the Alton Packet Company, presented to the heroic and loyal Mrs. Eversol the sum of two hundred dollars, in acknowledgment of her courage, humanity and patriotism, in recently saving the passengers of the steamboat City of Alton from being captured by Jeff. Thompson's marauding band. It will be remembered that, as the boat was approaching the shore where the enemy waited o her merit was richly deserved, but a richer one is assured to her in the memories of her countrymen and countrywomen. Captain Sousley subsequently received from Mrs. Eversol the following modest and appropriate note: Commerce, Mo., February 5th. J. J. Mitchell, President Alton Packet Company: dear Sir: Permit me, through you, to tender to the members of your Company my thanks for the unmerited token of respect which they were pleased to convey to me through the hands of Capt.

irst, I wrote informing you that the objects to be attained by the operations were: 1. To procure an outlet for cotton, lumber, timber, etc. 2. To cut off one of the enemy's sources of commissary supplies, etc. 3. To obtain recruits for any colored regiments. 4. To inaugurate measures for the speedy restoration of Florida to her allegiance, in accordance with instructions which I had received from the President by the hands of Major John Hay, Assistant Adjutant-General. On February fifth, I directed General Seymour, whose command was already embarked, to go to Jacksonville, Florida, effect a landing there, and push forward his mounted force to Baldwin, twenty miles from Jacksonville, the junction of the two railroads from Jacksonville and Fernandina. A portion of the command reached Baldwin on the ninth, at which point I joined it on the evening of the same day. At that time the enemy had no force in East-Florida, except the scattered fragments of General Finnigan's com

; no waste of villainous saltpetre; no screaming shot and shell. The whole affair was conducted in the most prosaic, common-place manner, and did not differ from the most ordinary capture of a ten-ton sloop, laden with physic and notions. What matter? Some seven hundred thousand dollars in gold changed hands in the space of a few minutes, to the profit of Uncle Sam and his handy mariners. The main chance being secure, the romance can be dispensed with. But to the record. On the fifth of February, as the Cumberland was making the best of her way toward Mobile, her captain and passengers felicitating themselves on the speedy termination of a prosperous run, with large profits looming up in perspective, a check was suddenly put to their gayety by the appearance of the much-dreaded enemy. At the time she was sighted from the deck of the De Soto, about half-past 8 o'clock in the morning, the Cumberland was in twenty-nine degrees forty minutes north latitude, and eighty-seven degre

whom the Navy Department owes exclusively the preservation and honor of its fleet. The partial disintegration of the several commands assigned to this expedition was a cause of embarrassment, though not entirely of failure. The command of Major-General Steele, which I was informed by Major-General Sherman would be about fifteen thousand men, was in fact but seven thousand, and operating upon a line several hundred miles distant, with purposes and results entirely unknown to me. February fifth, I was informed by General Steele that if any advance was to be made, it must be by the Wachita and Red Rivers, and that he might be able to move his command by the way of Pine Bluff, to Monroe, for this purpose. This would have united our forces on Red River, and insured the success of the campaign. The twenty-eighth of February, he informed me that he could not move by the way of Monroe, and on the fourth of March, the day before my command was ordered to move, I was informed by Gene
