twenty-four horses aud mules; destroyed a sugar mill
and a distillery, which were used by the rebel govern
ment. together with iheir stocks of sugar nnd liquor,
nnd burned the bridge over the Oclawaha River,
When returning they were attacked by a band of over
arty cavalry, whom they defeated and drove off with
a l<««i of more than thirty to the rebels After a long
and ra*id march they arrived at St. Augustine, on
March lxth, having lost but two killed and four woun
