rival here, the burning of mills, houses, and property belonging to Northern men with suspected Union proclivities, burnt by order of the rebel commander. I left Mayport yesterday, with the vessels named, for this point, ordering the Ellen to stop at John's Bluff and take on board the guns and munitions of war at that point, and ale. The weather was rather inauspicious — sun obscured, air damp and chilly, and wind prophetic from N. N. E. Yet withal the trip was not unpleasant. As we left Mayport astern, the vessels took their regular positions in line of sailing: Ottawa (acting flag-ship) leading; Seneca, Pembina, Isaac P. Smith, and Ellen, following. Tho a comparative ignorance of the channel, which is exceedingly intricate and difficult of passage, we were obliged to proceed very slowly.

repared to give him a very warm reception whenever he will come here. With kindest regards to all inquiring friends, I remain, in haste, yours very truly, G. T. Beauregard. Richmond, Va., Oct. 3d, 1862. Genl. Beauregard, Charleston, S. C.: General Finegan telegraphs from Lake City, Florida, that 3000 Federals are landing at Mayport Mills, at the mouth of the St. John's River. He has repulsed three naval attacks on the batteries at St. John's Bluff, eighteen or twenty miles from Mayport, but is not strong enough to resist the threatened land attack. He says that two regiments of infantry from the coast of Georgia sent to him for a few days will save the St. John's River, and perhaps East Florida. Send the assistance required as speedily as required. Answer by telegraph. G. W. Randolph, Secy. of War. Headquarters, Third Mil. Dist., S. C., McPhersonville, Oct. 3d, 1862. Brig.-Genl. T. Jordan, Asst. Adjt.-Genl. and Chief of Staff, Charleston, S. C.: Sir,—I have the
