MoRE NEGRO FIGHTING-On the
2Sth ult, Gen. Saxon sent the steamer
Darlington, from Beaufort, down the
coast OF Georgia, to Fernaudina, Flor, and
made twelve days trip. They made Is
landings on the Rebels plantations, de-
s,roying the magazines and foriifcations,
and accepting some hundreds Of contra
bands who hocket to them. They created
much terror. The colored soldiers on
board fought as bravsly and as effectively
as the whites. The joy of the escaped
slaves, of all sizes and both sexes, was
most apparent aud extravagant. Some Of
our men were wounded, but none killed,
and the expedition was most successful.
The Rebels send back their slaves if they
eau, sometimes numbering those who will
not go!
