and came rapidly up with the rebels.
When he came within their shot, one
fired at him but NARROW being a good
rider, hung over the side of his horse,
and, without injury, received this shot
and another, and then another, till all
four Of the rebels had discharged their
muskets at him. Then fastening up to
them, NARROW presented his bayonet, and
by threats of shooting, succeeded in ta-
king three of them prisoners. The fourth
resisted iercely, but received blow
over the head with the butt of a gun,
which effectually cooled him down. And
so, before the rest of his force could
come up to help him. NARROW had, alone
and unaided, captured four armed and
mounted rebels. who were then brought
quietly into camp, with great rejoiciugs

The Expedition to South Carolina.

The fleet of the Southern Expedition
or, at least, portion of it, has reached
its destination at Port Royal entrance on
the coast of South Carolina. This en-.
trance is an estuary into which empties
Broad River, on which Beaufort is stu
ated, about | 8 miles from the sea. Beau.
fort is one Of the oldest towns Of South
Carolina, and is rather noted as the resi-.
dence of some Of the oldest and wealth
lest families Of a State that prides itsel
on families old and wealthy. To be ap
preached and threatened by a Yankee
fleet, with whole cargoes of " mud slls'
and greasy mec hanics" is an indigni
ty that must be considered at the South
even more outrageous than TIE invasion
of the sacred SOIL"
The waters of that locality, neverthe
less, the estuary of Port Royal, and the
rivers emptying into it, are peculiarly
we'll fitted as haven for hostile fleet
1t is broad and deep, and the best bar.
Dor on that coast. To take Beaufort
which can be approached with 90 feet Of
water, will be an achievement that must
be considered heavy blow to the rebel
lion, not only because Beaufort is in il
self place of local importance, and in.
habited by locally important people, but
because its possession will be a good base
for future operations. An army once es-
tabllshed there, and protected by fleet
in the neighboring waters, can threaten
at will both Savannah, about thirty five
miles south of it, and Charleston, about
fifty miles north The region is inter
sected by system of small rivers, and
along the coast are the famous Sea Is
lands where cotton of the longest staple is
grown. \ few miles north west of Beau
fort runs the Savannah and Charleston
Railroad, the possession of which com
mands the intercourse between the two
places. As strategic point, ii is evi-
denuy one of great importance, and as its
occupation by the Union forces VIII be a
signal triumph to the Union cause, dis
heartening to its enemies, and encoura-
ging to its friends throughout South Car,
olina and Georgia, so, for that very rea.
son, will the repuse of the expedition at
that pointb be of the last Importance to the
insurgent GeneraIs,-N T. Tribune.
