Tallhassee, March 25th, 1864. Col. Thompson : Dear Sir —■ I send you a short descrip tion of the battle field of ‘‘Olustee,” jotted down after an early and very thorough examination the morning after the fight. In his official report, General Finne gan styles this the battle of “Ocean Pond,” but I think it is generally known now, and ever will be hereafter, as the battle of i “Olustee,” being in the vicinity of the j creek and railroad station of that name. —- 1 Olustee is a Seminole ’ name, and signifies j “Black Water,” j The area of ground on which the battle i was fought is a triangle, the base of which . was the enemy’s line of battle, and as near as I could judge, is half a mile long. The apex of the triangle, where they filed off in the road on their retreat, is 1 } miles distant. Approaching this area, I first saw quan tities of gutn timber, cut down by the en emy’s shot and shell; large pine trees bro ken off near the top, and often in the middle; whilst those standing up were scarred, and splintered, and sometimes perforated through, byi small solid shot, the marks of*liiiu tmJ Uuik thick on the trees, ranging, on the ene my’s side, from five feet to forty from the ground. Here you came upon the lead Uon fed erate soldiers, “their faces to Heaven, their feet to the foe.” The wounded have all been carried off to our field hospitals du ring and soon after the fight. None ol our dead had been robbed, but many had their limbs straightened and their bodies arranged in decent positions by consider ate passers by. A fact worth recording is that, although the cannonading was so severe, I did not see one of our men who had been killed by a cannon ball. Most ot the wounds were in the breast, and where this was the case, the fingers were invariably clutched in the bosom, tearing open the clothes. A large majority of our killed struck me as being tall, spare, slightly built, and very young men. About two hundred yard's beyond these, I came upon the bloody grjound occupied by the oneni\ -for the gray-coatjs and blue-coats were not mingled. The scene was horrible ! Here were literally piles ot deind and wounded. I counted in one group eight, in another ten. and in another thirteen, white and black. No kind hand had arranged their limbs, but they lay just in the attitudes in which the vital spark had left them Here one sat erect against a tree, hi? eyes staring, and his legs and arms stiffened out before him. Here a negro had crawled into so me brush to die, Ins back was bowed up like a hoop, his face to the ground, and he resting entirely on the points of his extended fingers and toes. The eyes ol all were wide open, and the whites ot those of “Ouffee,” as well a3 his teeth, were displayed with a peculiar grimmare. The wounded often made pillow * oi the dead, and in this way the piles, which are gen erally considered an exaggeration, do occur. I witnessed one sad sight, and stopped my horse to regard it in respectful silence, A man, severely wounded, was on hi? knees, bending over the lace ot a. dead soldier, one arm around his neck and the other aero his breast, the tears streaming down his cheeks—the picture of deep affection and in tense woe. No one put any idle questions to him, and he did not seem to be the presence of tiny one The dead Yankee horses presented a piteous spectacle; on one spot, where we had captured a battery, I counted twelve, and 1 suppose there were forts- others scattered about. Our dead were all decently interred by 12 o clock, M.- at single graves. Then began the work of ] fitting in possession of theii '‘free farms,’’ tome four hundred find fifty ol the enemy’3 a- iand. Instead ol the promised forms, howevti. they received only small and rather crowded tenements, with fifteen or twenty owners, white and Idack—the termer often occupying the ground floor, or net. Such was the case With tit- redoubtable Col. Frieble, of a negro regiment, iu whose pocket was found a letter from his wife, (query, white or black?) asi'incr htm to --confiscate lor her "A nice side saddle when he reached Tallahassee ‘ , Yes l the- black-hearted Frieble had afw ? s bumi A leader of a horde or infuriated ne groes, on a mission ot murder, robbery and rape, ought he not to have been left to rot on the ' lain, tor me obscene birds to fatten on his \irriis, and the gaunt wolves to gnayr bi 9 bone3 A vaii-tj oi trophies cotil ibe sen around our csruip tirvu tin- night ot the UAttb-. many of Them Yankee untion in the -Amp • <>f little coaveoiettcc?. fm the s-obW.m camp -r on tae man It. po* up tn the smailest comp ,s* Let tHrs. dagto tr> Otvpes, at.

There were also found very many l,cat o -nine-tails, such as were used in the onty farmerly. Th« woumled negroejs were all very humble $3.50 Per Month. —the slaves dejected in the extreme. The Northern negroes, at first, spoke as to their equals, but 3oon found it would not do. Said one of a group to a Confederate soldier stand ing by, “I say, my friend, just let me put my arm around vour neck, and raise me up a lit tle.” Confederate soldier— ‘ Don't call me your friend, d—d you. I’d just as soon blew your brains out as not, and 1 wouldn’t touch you with a ten foot pole.” I wili only add, that from the ‘signs,” this was one of the good fights of the war, and won by the pluck and aim of our men. Few orders were given (and those principally by General Colquitt, who directed the battle, and wan under fire the whole time.) Isis order was “push on,” and that was done steadily, even by some of the troops, who were (by great neglect somewhere) early out of ammu nition. Florida. ibraimm Lincoln His Real Name. A writer in the Atlanta Intelligencer, who is a Kentuckian and who professes a personal acquaintance with Lincoln’s par ents, furnishes the following sketch of his Marne. origin:* A man known as Abraham Lincoln, who now sits in the seat once occupied respectively by Washington, Madison, Jefferson and Jackson, was born in the county nl Hardin, now in the county of Laraue, in the State of Kentucky, and about forty miles from where the writer of this article lives when at home. The mother was a single woman of very low social position, by the name of Hannah Tlanks. Sho was generally reputed to have from one eighth to one-sixteenth of negro blood in her veins, and always asso ciated with negroes on terms of equality. According to the statement of Hannah Hunks, her illegitimate child was the son of Abraham Inlow, (who was still alive and in Kentucky in September, 1861.) I have, myself, heafd her make this state ment. Moreover, Inlow always claimed the child as his own, Here, then, is a testimony of the two witnesses most con versant wiih the facts both establishing be yond cavil that Inlow is Lincoln’s father. I will here give you a few fact3 in re» gard to Inlow. He was originally from North Carolina, but emigrated to Ken tucky when very young. He is quite tall, being about six feet three inches in height. Ho goes barefooted in the sum mer, and I have never seen him with a coat on but once. His pants are held up by one suspender only, worn over the left shoulder. llis nose is disfigured by hav ing a niece about the size of a dime bit out of it in a light. When little Abe was four years and six months old his mother intermarried with a man by the name of Lincoln, and the boy was afterwards called by his step fath er’s name .One night old Lincoln coming home and finding Inlow at his house, felt those, pangs which once disturbed the no ble Othello and caused him to immolate the spotless Pesdemona. He felt those sad pangs, but lie-did not go off intosolil oquies nor talk tragedy, but like a back woodsman of the coarser mould he pitched into Inlow, and they had a regular “set to.” Lincoln hit off a portion of Inlow’s nose, and the latter deprived Lincoln of one joint, of Ids thumb. After this affair old Lincoln became exceedingly cr el to Abe, and his mother found it necessary to send him to live with a lady who lived in the neighborhood There he remained until he was about thirteen years of age. By this time he was able to work on the farm, and old Lincoln relented towards him and permitted him to return and live with him. The lady who gave Abe a home at this time was Mrs Mcßryde, who afterwards moved to Nashville, Ten nessee, and who was still living on the 15th February", 1862, at which time the writer of this article saw her and conversed with her. She can substantiate the state ments here made. During Abe’s residence at Mrs. Mcßryde’s he was sent to an or- ; dinary oM field school for three years, : and then obtained the rudiments of a rough education. After hi.' return home he went no more to school. Neither old Lincoln nor his wife (Abe mother) could read and could not see the use of an education. Abe was now put to hard v»«.rk,and was even oom pelled to work on Sundays. Tin- he could not sfand, .--o he ran away Irom Lin coln and went as a hand on au uiuo fiat boat.

COMPULSORT AND VOLDNTART FCNDINO COM PARED. —It is with nations as with individuals, the first is the important step in pecuniary matters. An advance in a wrong direction, may render affairs irretrievable. So it has been with the fiscal policy of the Confederacy. It began in error and we arc apprehensive It will terminate in disaster. When at the out set of the war, it was proposed to purchase the cotton crop and ship it, the ports being unobstructed by blockade, an influence from an official source, defeated the plan, under the plea that it was no part of the function of the government to engage in mercantile tran sactions ; yet we have since seen that same government become an exteusvie purchaser and shipper in cotton, in fact, engrossing the eutire export trade of the Confederacy. If the policy then recommended, had been pur sued, we would have had large balances due iu Europe, which would have supplied ample funds to have built and equipped a navy.— The opportunity was lost. —Allanta Confeder acy. Which reminds us that in the limits of this vast Confederacy, there were in the dpring of Cl, only *ome two or three prints which ad vocated earnestly the appropriation of the whole cotton crop by the Government. One of these was the Telegraph. But the plan was ridiculed as turning the government into a groat cotton brokerage, aud the golden oppor tunity lost lqrever. Suppose (he government could have appropriated the whote crop then, as it might have done, at ten cen s per pound —two-thirda in eight per cent, bonds. It would have cost ICO millions, and would been worth now in Europe, how many 1 Macon Telegraph. If lie Had Only Known. Garret Davis says, if lie had only foreseen what has already come to pass, he would have opposed all attempt to coerce the Confederate States into re-union, and would have appeal ed only to moral influences. We doubt not, says the Richmond Sentinel, that thousands of other coercionists Ijave equally regretted their insane and criminal undertakiug. Thirteen hundred thousand men have been vainly put into the field, and fifteen hundred aud thir teen millions of dollars art officially reported to have been spent up to the ■ first ot March last ; but, despite this lavish expenditure of blood and treasure, the end is not accomplish ed, and the prospect is more desperate tuan ever. .'Seven tnvmrreu men n- . accordingly, beerp called out, in add»uuu vo multitudes previously sent to the cem. \ . . death.
