THE YLORIDA EXPEDITION, Since my last commusication—in which I gave a de- failed account of the cavairy expedition under Colonel Seary, of the Forticth Massachusetts; Major Stevens, First Maseachusotts Independent Battailion, and Captain Wider, Horse Battery B, First artillery, to the vicinity of Lake City, and its Drilliant successive, routing and pur_ suing the enemy and destroying a Jarge amount of valua. Ble supplies of the rebel army—our forces bave met the vebels in strength, in a strong position, chosen by them- selves, and fortified. In this engagement our forces came out second best, and with considerable loss in men and ‘waterial. ‘The battle was one of the most furious and bloody of ‘tay that bas yet taken place in‘ this department, which fe already famous for the carnage on both sides that has marked pearly every engagement fought within its orders. What ite ultimate results may be time alone ean decide. It is quite certain thet, although our loesee ‘were quite heavy and the advantage rather in favor of the enemy, the moraleof our men is unimpaired, and their willingness to meet the enemy as perfect as ever.

Two companies of the Seventh Con- gecticut skirmished with our cavalry advance for two miles, when a point was reached where the railroad is erossed by the sand road. At this place were two or tbroe houses, which constituted all there was of the town of Ulustee—a name that bas now gained @ place in history. THK ENEMY FOUND 1N FORCE.

A large quan- tity of lumber was left at King’s Ferry, as our force fell ‘back before they could load it, in consequence of the ro- ports received from the fight at Oluates. Lieutenant Taloott acted as adjutant of the expedi- tionary force. Mr. Wm. Alsop, United States Tax Com- miesioner, an old po lumberman, aided greatly in rafting down the Inmper. ‘THE RIVER BLOCKADE. ‘The formidable boom that had a year ago been placed across the river by the rebels, to prevent an ascent of our naval vessels, broke away in a late fresbet and lodged on Amelia Island, where its timbers are now being used by Capt. Lewis, of the Volunteer Engineers, in the con- struction of Fort Clinch, Fernandina CAVALRY OPERATIONS. Major Stevens’ cavalry battalion made a raid to Goor- gia a few days since and destroyed a number of ferryboats at the main ferries in this quarter of the country. Colo- ne!
