Deserters Shot.—Most of the deser
ters, says lho Quincy Dispatch of the
15th, who attempted to destroy the Rail
road bridge over the Auoilla river on
Saturday last, have been caught, tried,
and were probaply shot at Tallahassee
last evening. Their crimes have been
numerous and damning, and their pun
ishment as swift as it was righteous.
As soon as the attempt on the Bridge
was discovered, our authorities were on
their track. Two were killed near the
Bridge at the start. Os the three others
captured, two were run down by dogs.
One of these is Martin, a notorious char
acter, who has committed all sorts of
depredations, and was much feared by
the people of that section. The other
was Strickland,"a Captain among the de
serters, and formerly an overseer on the
Railroad, who had also made himself
very obnoxious. The name of the third
is £st known to. us. Such speedy and
wholesome treatment of these desperate
characters will drive their associates out
of the country or induce them to take
refuge under Gen. Lee’s amnesty Proc*
lamation.

Synopsis of a Speech delivered to the troops
at the Camp of Organization, near Ham
burg, S. C., under command of General
Shelley, on Saturday, March 1 \th, by
lion. Henry IF. Hilliard.
Mr. Hilliard, said: Recognizing tbe
right of my old friends and constituents
to call for an expression of my views at
this oritioal period in our national affairs,
I have yielded to your invitation. Some
two years since under the influence of
great despondency in regard to the state
of the country, I felt disposed to witha
draw from political life, but I soon dis
covered that I had erred, and I took the
earliest occasion to resume my connex.
ion with the pursuits in which I had been
engaged all my life. Every man owe *
debt to the Republio, and no man must
despoir Os it. It is proper gentlemen in ad •
dressing you, that I should, say some
thing of my past relations to political
questions. This very large assemblage,
which is eminently a representative body,
embracing citizens of nearly every South
ern State, is composed largely of gentle
men from Alabama—my own State—and
from that portion cf the State formerly
represented by me in the Congress of the
United States.
It is known to you that 1 was a mem
ber of the old Whig party; I shared all
its fortunes, prosperous and adverse. Up
on the accession of Mr. Buchanan to the
Presidency, impressed with the sound
Constitutional character of hiw adminis
tration, and foreseeing the formidable
opposition which it was to encounter from
the Republican party, I counselled a gen
erous support of that Administration by
the people of the whole South, irrespec
tive of old parly divisions. Misunder
stood by Borne, and misrepresented by
others, I was fiercely assailed for this
connsel, but I do not hesitate to declare
that if my counsels had prevailed, the
country would have been in a far bet
ter condition than it is to-day. An
undivided front on our part, and unbro
ken support to a single candidate for the
Presidency, aided by the true men of
the North, would have given us a com
plete triumph over the Republicans. It
is known, too, that 1 was opposed to the
measures which took the Slates out of
the Union. Loyal to the South always, I
desired to save the Government, and
I believe that a united co-operation of all
the States of the South would secure our
rights under that Government. Os course
the current of the revolution swept by
me—l was quietly engaged in the pur
suits of private life when I received au
invitation from the President, through a
member of his Cabinet, to call at his of.
fice. Upon going there I was met by the
President who acquainted me with his
wish to send a Commissioner to Tennes
see, to induce that State to join tbeCon,
dOJiUMBUS, SA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, MM.
fac’.eraay. I accepted the mission, and
prooecdid to Nashville, tnct with com
plete If#C"CB9.
Thq Proclamation of ths President of
the United Stales dcolariag the purpose
of that Government to oatree us into obc
dience, was eo flagrant a violation of ev
ery principle of free Government, that I
felt that it vras the duty of every man who
loved Constituiitnal liberty to resist it,
and I appe tied to the gallant people of
Tennessee lo join us in the great battle
which was about to be feught for free,
dom. From that hour to this I have
thrown into the contest whatever of abil
ity or influence I could command to give
success to tho cause. Everything dear
to us is involved in the contest —let us
keep in view tho gfent issue.
Let ii‘freefrom every complica
tion.
Gcntlemeu, we are contending for a
principle, not a policy. *.Yhen we attempt
to mix up a policy—a plan of settlement
with the great principles involved in the
dispute, we put it out of our power to
come to any salisfactory lenns of adjust
ment with the of the United
Slates. That principle is, the rght of a
Slate to decide its own political relations
with other Slates This is the essential
right, cf every free Stale. The moment
that is yielded up, it ceases to boa free
State. Georgia was a State before the
Government of the United Sia es had au
existence. So, too, was South Carolina,
Virginia, and ail the old Thirteen Stales.
Alabama, Mississippi, and other Slates
had been foiniad since the organization
of the United Slates ; but they were ad.
mitted into the Union with all the essen
tialrightsoffreoStai.es. What wc con
tend for to day, is the right, of these
States to decide for themselves what re*
lation they will hold to other powers;
European or American. The Stales were
united under a common Government,
whose powers were defined byu Constitu
tion. That was tho fundamental law of
the Union. To admit that the will of the
majority may override the Constiiution,
and that the majority may infpose upon
the several States by the bayonet is to
construct out of the ruins of a Republic
a colossal despotism. A law passed in
conformity with the Constitution ought
to'be obeyed; an act which viola! es it,
is no law at all. Hero then, gentlemen,
is the issue. 1 care cot what relations
we held to the question of Secession—
thal question has gone by. We ate con
fronted now by a powerful Government,
which asserts its right to compel these
States to submit to iis authority. Wc de
ny (lie right. We have taken up arms to
vindicate the great principle of Constitu
tional liberty. All that we demand is
the right to treat with the United Stales
as a free people. This right they deny
J’Srey demand abject submission
But a few weeks since they lefusel to
treat with us—they rejected cur appeal
to be heard in regard to the terms or re
conciliation ; they demanded submission.
Now I must say frankly that I have ob-
Ecrved a growing disposition on the part
of those who conduct our Government, to
shut us up to a policy to proclaim that
we will not treat with the United States,
except upon certain terms. I insist that
all questions affecting our future rela
tions to the people of the United States,
ought to be left to future negotiations.
It is not the time to talk of how many
Stales shall be embraced under a com
mon Government —that great -question
must be dispesed of as it was disposed of
after the first Revolution. The people
of the several Slates will decide it for
themselves. No men—no parly—have
the right to announce for us that we will
settle only upon certain terms. What we
demand is the right to be heard as equals
in negotiation as to our future relations.
When that is conceded to us, we are ready
to treat upon liberal terms. Until that
is conceded wo will range ourselves with
unshaken constancy, and undaunted he
roism'under the banner of Constitutional
liberty which we have unfurled. No re
verses shall muster
ing of armed hosts shall inlimidate us.
We all breathe the spirit of independence.
Tliy spirit, iadepeotlf-ncc, Itt me share!
Lord of tbe liou-heiirte.l ami osgte oyo,
Tby stepa I’ll follow with my bosoam bare,
Nor hood the gloom that lowers along the sky!
I believe that wc have friends at the
North, and that if thepoople of lie two
sections could meet in convention they
would speedily settle the great quarrel.
But the Lincoln administration do not
desire a settlement. They would not
oven allow our commissioners to proceed
to Washington, where they would have
had audience with the conservative
party of the North. If they refuse
us terms, if they refuse to negotiate with
us, wo must fight out the issue. I hale
war. I mourn over its violence, its des
olation, its sacrifice of human life. But
if it is forced upon us by the Lincoln ad
ministration, we must teach them that a
people contesting for constitutional lib
erty cannot be subdued. They must
pass through a line of flame and steel be
fore they reach the heart of the South.
Platea may yet be reproduced upon these
Southern plains. As the setting sun
gilded tbe arms of the ten thousand
Greeks who defeated the Persian hosts,
so, too, it may flame upon our victorious
banners. There is a God also who rules
the destinies of nations. Let us put our
trust in Him and do our whole duty.
It is true we want men; but, if the
government will adhere to a true course
provide well for our troops, deal gen
erously with the people, we shall find
onr armies growing in numbers, in ardor
and in heroism. We need not revolu
tionize our whole social system by put
ting negroes in the army. This policy
is full of peril to us. To train u servile
race to the use of utms, to put them side
by side with our brave soldiers, to team,
them the idea of equality with the vhi.r
man—au idea which will never pass out
out of the brain of the negro—is a propo
sition in conflict with onr principles, our
policy and our interests, tike the ele
phants employed in the artniee of the
East they might turn upon our ranks sad
spread disaster in their tracks. No
gentlemon, let our government dealjustly
and generously with our soldiers, and
our armies will bo full, while our slaves
will cultivate our fields and male our
crops to sustain the army. Congress has
no more power over slavery in the States
than it has over serfdom iu Russia or
tho apprentice system in England.
The restoration of General Johnston
to the eommand of the army of Ten
nessee has already wrought a happy
change in tho spirit of our troops.—
Henceforth let there bo no division.
Let us make every sacrifice for our
couiffry. We must, on our part., be
prepared to settle the great di.-puie
upon liberal terms. Thcro is no great
sipca*. dividing us from the Uaityd
Stales, no mountain range. They must
be our neighbors, and Ihe lerms of peace
musi be satisfactory to both parlies, if
that peace is to be lastiug.
The Late Fight In Florida.
The Q tincy Dispatch has an account
of Ihe'fight at Florida, on the 1 h ull.
The enemy numbered 1,800 men under
Brig. Qen. Newton. They left Cedar
Keys on Tuesday, February 28 .h, iu sev
en steamers, three lerge bido-whecl&tcam
ers, carrying troops aud four propellers
loaded wiilt stores lo sloth tho Fort, at
St. Marks alter it should be captured.
This is the statement of prisoners. Scv.
oral small sailing vessels accompanied
the expedition. The fleet arrived at the
Light House cn Friday evening Min eu
3d, and commeuoed'lauding troops, which
work was completed by 1 p. m. of Satur
day. Two howitzers, but no cavalry were
landed. The only horses were thoseused
by the general and his staff.
The enemy marched for Newport. Col.
G. W. Scott tinaaked them at Newport
with hie cavalry, but he was compelled
to fall beck, which he did slowly, fighling.
Oa Sunday evening he retreated across
the bridge at Newport burning it behind
him. Col. Scott, their foieo ou number
ing his ten to oac, he.d them in check for
for forty eight 119 ms
During Sunday night and Monday
morning rciulorocmems came down tho
railroad, and preparations were made to
meet the enemy, who had marched to
wards the Natural Bridge, finding it im
possible to force a passage across the river
at Newport. Among the companies that
went down on Sunday night and Monday
morning were four ftv.m this county,
(Capt. DuPont’s, composed of men over
fifty years iff age, Capt. Scott’s, Captain
Johnson sand Captain Smith’s,) together
with Lieut. Whitehead’s section of artil
lery. Capt. Johnson’B company was kept
at Tallahassee, being dotailed. The oth
ers pushed on.
Our forces had barely reached the
ground, when the ball opened at 4 A. M.
wii’a lively *kirmishing. This continued
it o’clock, when tho tight
commenced in earnest, and continued for
three er ttiur hours. The enemy attack
ed with considerable spirit, anil made
three attempts ro /t,e bridge, blit
each timo was repulsed with comparative
!y heavy loss. Their last repulse decided
the event of the day, and they commenced
a retreat to their fleet, ieaving on the
field some twenty-five killed, but carry
ing most of their wounded with them.
Some prisoners wero taken «u the pur
suit and some wounded picked up. Pris
oners stated that they had thrown some
of their dead into the St. Marks river,
and had buried eleven under their breast
works on their extreme right, where our
troops had made au attack.
Our forces behaved galiant’y through
out. Citizens, volunteers, old men and
young men, most of whom had never
been under fire and never expected to be,
all stood up to their work without flinch
itlg, and too much cannot be said iu their
praise.
Msj.Gen. Sam Jones was in command
.Brig. GeD. Wm. Miller distinguished
himself by his coolness and inirepidiiy
on the field. The brave Capt. U. K Sim
mons met a glorious death—closing upon
the battle-field, with his face to the toe,
a life which he had exposed continually
from the commencement of the war, in
the service of his country. The 2d Flor
ida Cavalry under Col. Uarraway Smith,
behaved with great gallantry, and the
Artillery was admirubly served. Tha
Kilcrcase Ariillor.v. r.ana
jwuutiaiii's Battery, Capt. Dunham, did
great execution, and contributed largely
to our success. Lieut. Whitehead’s sec
tion, which was despatched ou Monday
morning to Newport, also did excellent
service, and has the credit of preventing
by its rapid aud steady fire, the capture
of that place by the enemy.
The services of Surgeons C. A. Henlz,
C. A. Gee, and TV M. Wilson, and their
careful and constant attention to the
wants cf our men, arc deserving of special
notice, and were the occasiou.of frequtztt
remark.
Our loss is’ 3 killed and 23 wounded—
most of them slightly. That of the ene
my is estimated ut 350 to 400 killed- arm
wounded. We also took 30 prisoners—
-28 black and 2 white.
The following is tv statement of the
enemy’s forces:
iy.it Louisiana, (colored,) Lt. Colonel
Pearsall, 10 companies, averaging 75 men
each, 759.
21 U. tJ. Infancy, (odored,) Colonel
Townsend, G companies, avemg.ng 100
men each, GUO
21 Fla. Cavalry, dhmounted, (mos ly
deserters,) Maj. lrigga, about 450—total
1,800.
There arc may incident of tie fight
worthy of mention, if we had lime and
space.
Two deserters were captured—one of
them, Peter l’e!f, belonging io Capt.
Simmon’s Company, and the other, ——
Fowler, belonging to Capt. Jeter’s Com
pany, They were tried cn tho ground,
by a drum-bead Court-Martial, and sen
tenced to be shot on the spot; which
wa3 done in the presence of tbe command.
The Yankees carried off two men from
Newport, (Hatch and McCook,) but sub
sequently released them. They say that
the Yankees admitted a.loes of 300 to
500, and that their officers stated in con
versation, that we had a very large force
—much superior to theirs. It is no mat
ter to them now, what our numbers were;
but fully two-thi. 13 of our forces never
had opportunity or occasion to fire a gun.
The conduct of oue of oar privates is 'ie.ervir.g
of aien'ion—Joseph Nixon, former y of this
~a t> ut wof Leon. He was atatioued
iri.ng our sharp ahooters, aud manar-d to get
within about n.ty yards of the euem>’-i entre .cl'-
ments and behind a tree. Nixon gave the enemy
a specimen of tao tac'ica in vogne in the old Flor
ida war. Raising a shone, some us the en-my
would put up the'r he-ds, when he would fire.
Then coolly re-iuading, he wuntd yril a-ain, and
tho operation would be repeated, are I at every
shot down won and go a bl.-ctt or white Yankee wi.-n
abut et through h s -knit—a in at advantageous
mode of fighliug, and worthy of imita'ion.
