TANARUS., left Jacksonville,' Fla., and penetrated into the interior through Marlon County. They rescued ninety-one negroes from slave ry, captured four white prisoners, two wagons and twenty-four horses and mules; destroyed a sugar mill and a distillery, which were used by the rebel govern ment, together with their stocks of sugar ana liquor, and burned the bridge over the Oclawaha River, When returning they were attacked by a band of over fifty cavalry, whom they defeated and drove off with a loss of more than thirty to the rebels After a long and rapid march they arrived at St. Augustine, on March 12th, having lost but two killed and four woun ded. This expedition, planned and executed by colored men under the command of a colored non-commis sioned officer, reflects great credit upon the brave par ticipants and their leader'. The Major-General Commanding thanks these cour ageous soldiers and scouts, and holds up their conduct to their comrades in arms, as an example worthy of emulation. By Command of Major-Gen. Q. A.

Our venerated and beloved President, ABRaHAM LINCOLN, has been taken away from us by violence. In the very midst of our uational rejoicings over the recent triumphs of the national arms, and on the an niversary of that dark day upon which our noble Flag received its first iusult from treason, and which had been specially set apart by Executive order os a day for its triumphant restoration to the place of its form er humiliation, and while the heart of the nation, buoyant with the renewed hopes of an early and a lasting peace, was overflowing with emotions' of fra ternal forgiveness towards its worst enemies, the hand of the stealthy assassin was invoked to perform the dreadful deed. Language can but leebly portray the enormity of this crime, or the infamous guilt of those at whoso in stigation it was committed. The murderer and bU .abettors will alike be con signed to the execration of mankind for all time. Befitting ceremonies will doubtless be ordered by the War Department as a tribute of resptet for the memory of our lamented chief. • Meanwhile, in the discharge of our present duties to our country and to our fellow men, let us emulate his transcendent worth as a man, his zeal and fidelity as a patriot, and his cons stency of conduct and con scientious discharge of duty as a public officer.
