Flto.V! KLmH »A,
We have authentic information of the move
meni? of Urn two armies in Florida during the
week just past.
It app ’ars that a column of the oneniy, con
sisting of eight regiments of infantry, six pieces
of ariiiieiv and abut billion of cavalry, left
Jacksonville on the night of the 31st May and
advanced in the direction of Baldwin. The
day .olio ving, they cause upvS OUT cavalry iu
forenoon, and drove them frcnl Gedtir
; K-tir tts’ Creek bask upon Bat win.
Ihe enemy outnumbered u so greatly that a
successful stand was out of the question.
'the next day, June 2d, oar forces advanced
from Baldwin, and met the enemy between
that place and Mefjritts’ Creek. They were
not inclined to risk a light on this day, and we
drove them back into Jacksonville.
Our forces t en retired, leaving the lines of
(he two armies a* they were before the move
ment. Our loss was but trifling.
It is supposed that the object of the enemy
was to reconnoiter our position, with a view to
future Cpetitions. Gen. Patton Anderson was
wide finite to Hs movements in this case, and
will doubtless be prepared for any advance
and at any time.
A party of deserters have burned New Troy,
Fla. Not a horse was left standing. They
also have burned ali the houses in the centre
ami Southern sections of La Fayette county.
They carried otf all the negroes, horses, and
mules tliev could get
FROM THE COAST.
The enemy are certainly alter some mischief
in this vicinity. ,Their movements at Hilton
Head and in Warsaw Sound, for the last few
days, a r e suggestive of an attempt at deviltry
of 'some sort. It is reported that a party of
Yankees landed on Wilmh.gtou Monday and
recounoitered that island for a considerable
time, arui on leaving amnsed themselves by
burning the old house at Whiting’s Point.

transports cvine np Warsaw river and ana or
edat the islands known as the “Two Listers.”

ner a Point, on Whiriaarsh Island.
We are pleased to know that eur military
authorities are on tee alert, and we hope every
citizen will hold himself in readiness to go to
the rescue should it become necessarv.
The object of the enemy is probably, to ob
tain a foothold on M hitinarsh. believing that
it will a:: ra them a valuable stand point in
operations against the city. We have nr de
sire to cteais any alarm, but we are free to say
that existing circumstances contain ample

Ujion the part of our adversaries, we have been
placed in poisewsion of the law of nations, and
Hat we aie entitled to invoke its application.
We know of no better from i® which that can
be done than the mode suggested by the reso

Your Committee, therefore, recommend the
adoption of the accompanying resolution :
Resolved, That the President be requested to
make an exposition through our commissioners
abroad to the various European Powers to
which they may be accredited, ot the t ioiations
of the rules of civilized warfare, aud of the
atrocities committed by tha Government and
the armies ot the United States in the prosecu

of America.
Tne resolution was unanimously agreed to.
A GiiAxyr Avii.ua l* Near* Caaouaa. —A
correspondent relates to the Columbus (inqui
rer the annexed Incident which is highly cred
itable to those engaged ia it:
Soon after the late evacuation of Washing
ton, N. C., by the Yankees, Capt. 3. B. Bower,
v ith a detachment of fifteen men, was sent
down on the road to reconnoitre. Having cap
tured about twenty-five deserters late ia tae
evening he saw a large schooner heading for
ihe shore, aud determined if possible, to make
her a prize. Some time in tho night tho
schooner anchored at the mouth of a creek.
Capt. 3. with a detachment of eix men, went
out ty her in an open boat, boarded her, and
alter a feeble resistance captured her, and
found her loaded with corn and afewgcods.
He sent the goods ashore, and compelled tho
Yankee crow to weigh r.achsr and sail tor
Washington.
While on the way they discovered a gunboat
right ahead. Capt. B. ordered the helmsman to
run in as near to shore as possible without
grounding, hoping to escape in this way, but
very soon the gunboat cams u»ar enough to
tli e a shot ahead as a signal to round to, which
the Yankee crow vehemently insisted on doing;
but Capt B. ordered the man at tho helm to
go on, and enforced tho order by putting a pis
tol to Ins head. Tho gunboat finding its sig
nal disregarded, fired into the schooner. Capt
B. now finding escape with the schooner im
possible, ordered her mu ashore, and she
grounded, perfectly riddled, about a qunrtor
of a mile from the beach, wien Capt. B. com
pelled the Yanks aboard to jump overboard,
our men following. They all swam and wad
ed ashore, leaving tho vessel just before the
crew of the gunboat boarded it.
Tiie Fudeeal Debt Wkiouhd and Measured.
—The following curious and suggestive cqicu-,
latious were read by Mr. John Fair, the other
day, before the Albany Democratic Association:
The National debt is stated to bo §4,000,000,-
000.
It has been said that this debt is so great
that it is too vast for comprehension. Now,
as a practical man, 1 propose to weigh it and
measure it, and we may therefore "obtain a
more definite idea Qt its immensity.
A silver dollar measures 1J inches ia diame
ter. $8 placed edge to edge will make one
foot in length, $24 so placed will make one
yard in length, and $4,2.240 so placed will
make one mile ia length. The (arth is 21,60.0
miles in circumference, it would therefore, re
quire $912,382,000 to go once around it. This
vast sum must be multiplied by 4 *nd 4-10 to
make it equal to the amount of our national
debt, which would make the silver dollar go
around the earth's < ircumference four times,
and cover 8,640 miles besides. Allowing a
silver dollar to weigh au ounce 1(3 to a pound,
2,000 pounds to the ton, our debt would weigh
125,000 tons, and would require 125 ships of
1000 tons burthen each to carry it.
It would make (.2,500 truck loads of two tons
each, and calculating that each truck will cover
a space of thirty feet, they would st retch a dis
tance of 355 miles, and make a chain of trucks
which would encompass the great cities of
New York, Albany and Trov in an clipticai
line.—lt would take a man 365 years and 40
days to count the nmoqut of this vast dept, es
timatipg that he would count 500 per minute,
working ten hours a day and six days a week
Depredations. —The cavalry that are scat
tered through the country between Johnston’s
rear and Atlanta are committing the most out
rageous depredations upon the persons and
property of citizens Stock is stolon and kill

A few nights ago a Lieutenant approached a
house that was occupied by a widow lady.—
He knocked at the door, and upon the lady en
quiring “Who’s there?” he asked for a drink
ol’ water. The lady refused to open the door,
as she was alone, with the exception of her
little children.
The villain immediately rushed against the
door and burs ted it open, and entered. The
lady seized on an axe to (island herself with,
but it was immediately wrobteq from hot, ar,4
she was seized by the scoundrel. Just thoii
the attention of some soldiers wm attracted by
the cries of the children and carae just in time
to release the lady from the o utchea of the

escaped unhurt. Batteries Simkins’and Oheves
kept up a spirited reply to Gregg and Wagner.
the Ironsides took her departure from this
port Monday night and sailed North. All that
is lift now are the five Monitors and the usual
wooden gunboats.
During Ihiusday the Yankees brought anew
gun from the lower end of the Island to Bat
tery Gregg.
An attentive correspondent at Secessionville
has furnish' and us with an accout of the furious
bombardment to wnich that place was sub
jected on die 7th and 7th inst. He says :
On the 1 til instant the enemy hurled at our
works from their gunboats, their batteries on
Light House Inlet ami from their Long Island
battery, one hundred and ninety shells and
holla. On -tho Bth, from the slime points, they
fired two hundred and fifteen projectiles. For
tunately no person was hurt.
The demolition of q.ibins, shantees and other
snug little appointments, characteristic of a sta
tionary camp, was extensive. Two shells per
forated GaptainjCulbreath s quarters. Thehome
of otiler officers sustain more or less injury.
It is needless- to say that during this hail of
shot aud shell our batiries were not idle, and
out pieces were fought gallantly aud efficient

on Long Island is hushed to-day (June Im

private memoranda the enemy, since the tii -t
of February last, have thrown at. Fecessiohvtlie
over one thousand shell and solid shot, rang

mention.
