The Black SOIdiers-AnOther Successful
Expedition,

PoRT ROYAL, S. c., Nov. 25.-The organ
izatiOn OF regiment of black soldiers under
brigadier general SaXton is progressing finely.
You have already received an account of a
successful expedition of one of the tugboats
with a company of armed blacks to Sapelo
river and other places on the Georgia coast.
where they were for the first time under fire,
and acquitted themselves bravely in an en-
gagement with their former masters, protect
ing the flight of a large number of their race
who sought to escape the horrors of bondage.
That success led to the projection of another
enterprise, which, in brilliancy and practical
value surpasses the first. Three companies
of these South Carolina volunteers, Captains
Trowbridge, james and Randolph's, under the
command of Lieutenant Colonel Beare, pro-
vost marshal under General Saxton, left
Beaufort on the 18th, in the steamers Ben
Detord and Darlington, going to Doboy
Sound, Georgia, and remaining there a week,
returning with two hundred thousand feet of
the best Georgia pine lumber sawed and
ready for use. This was taken from Haw-
kin's, Todd's, and Blues mills on the main
land, directly in face of the rebels, who gave
the black soldiers an opportunity to test their
pluck on shore as they had previously on
tug-boat, where they fought with the advan-
tage of a partial barricade. While most of
the negroes were engaged in loading the
steamers with lumber, the company of Capt
James advanced on a reconnaissance, and
were opened upon with musketry by the reb.
els, from position in ambush.
The negroes deliberately returned the fire,
and, drawing up in line of battle, kept up a
fusilade, maintaining their ground until by the
aid of the guns of the steamer and those of
their convoy. the gunboat Madgie, the enemy
was dislodged Three Of the colored soldiers
were wounded, one so seriously that his arm
must be amputated The officers of these
men express the greatest confidence in their
fighting qualities, and after these practical
tests of the courage, even of raw recruits, as
were those composing the expedition, it is
about as well that we should hear no more
narrow-minded expression of their incapable
ity to defend their liberties

Mailing In SOdOm.
From the Charleston Is. c. Courier


The continuance of this contest involves in
creased suffering. The evils that follow in
the train of this calamitous visitation grow
more direful with every day Other hearts
than those now aching with anxiety and bleed
ing from bereavement are rent with grief, and
the friend who sympathized with some afiict-
ed one yesterday, to-day weeps bitter tears
over his own sorrow. The iron is driven the
deeper, and our burdens become more and
more heavy. And though more than eighteen
months have passed away since the strife was
begun, the end seems more distant than it APP
pearedto be twelve month since. Hope af-
ter hope has gone out in darkness, and expec-
tations we had fondly cherished have turned
out to be miserable decisions. So often have
we been disappointed and deceived that now
our faith rejects every promise and turns
away from every sign. Our foe is as active
and determined and powerful as ever he was
and the agent that was to compel foreign ma
tons to intervene and put an end to this
wicked and infamous contest, has not been
potent enough to accomplish that end.
We stand alone. Vast hosts are mastering
to repeat in stronger force and with more OBJ
stinate courage the attempts that have been
made, and strongholds hitherto unattached
will soon have to bear the most furious on
slaughts the enemy, with his wonderful re-
sources OF ingenuity and material, is capable
of making. TO Illustrate his well conceived
plans, to repel these terrible attacks, we have
to depend entirely upon ourselves. The foe
will do its utmost; military genius and knowl-
edge, the boundless credit of the govern
ment, the best mechanical skill-mind, money,
muscle-have all combined to insure sue
cess.
And while these tremendous efforts are be-
ing put forth-while our homes are darkened
by the shadow of the death angels wing and
our bosoms wrung with anguish-while we
are enduring grievous privatons and hard
ships, and our soldiers are almost naked, we
stand alone. 1t is true foreign tongues mem
ton our name with respect and admiration.
1t is true our fortitude and gallantry have re-
ceived abundant reward in glowing words of
praise and in warm heartfelt wishes for sue
cess But sympathy and admiration have af"
torded no substantial assistance, and all I'M
aided we brace our nerves for the dreadful
conflict.
