SEYMOUR, R. M. Bas, First Lieutenant Firat artillery, U.'S, A., Assistant Adjutant Geaeral. Such was the encouraging position of affairs on the 16th day of February, 1864, A change was, however, in store for the forcea in this district, In consequence of the stoppage of our regular despatches, under the orders of the commander, we are unable to present our readors with complete details; but ive them as full as they can possibly be obtained from the statements of the pagsengers and others by the Foiton, 1% appears that among tho forces that bave been Drought into this contest ore the follewing:—Forty sev- enth, Forty eighth and One Hundred and Fifteouth New Fortieth end Fifty-‘ourth Massacha- sette Voluntecrs; Seventh Connecticut, Seventh New Hampehire, First and Eighth United States Volunteers (colored), Viret North Carolina Volunteers, Firet Massa- irst and Third United States artillery and the Third Rhode Island battal- fon. These forces, not over strong in numbers, were, on the afternoon of the 20ih, brought {nto contact with the rebels, under (it ts supposed) cithor General Hardee These rebel troops were sup- York Voln ntocra; chusetts crvvalry, and sections of the or General Beavregard, posed to nnmber about fifteem thousand men. The en. gagement took place at Olustec, on the railroad between Jacksonville aud Tallahassee, and over fifty miles from the former place, Olostee is between Sanderson and Lake City. From the imperfect aecounts we bave it would appear that Ceneral Trugan Seymour neglected tho all important precaution of throwing out scouts and skirmishers, and the troops therefore advanced in force into a trep set by the rebole, The horses attached to the field pieces of Hawilton’s battery were shot down by sharpshooters, and the men in attendance sultored severely. The guns belong ing (to thie battery had to be abandoned. The Fortieth Massachusetts infantry, which had been mounted, were brought under a very severe fire, the eifrot of which was to cause them to retreat hastily, leaving tucir dead and wounded in the hands of the enemy. During the advance our troops found themselves aud- denty in front of a rebel battery, which opened upon them @ galling Gre almogt bofore they were aware of ite presence. The guss of the rebels were concevied by the woods, and the eifect of their discharge upon the advane- Ing tores was fearful avd demoralizing, The Union troops fell back jo great disorder, and were perfectly panic btricken. It ja stated that Generel Seymour has beea placed un der arrest, and Geveral Israel Vo, des or ul to take command of the district, which has receatly been rein forced by a division of veteran troope, The losses are variously estimated at from twelve to iteen bupdred mea.
