Complete Success Of Negro
'ErOQpS


The experiment of making soldiers OF
negroes has been faithfully and success
fully tried,in the DEPARTING Mt of the South
and especially upon late expedition sent
by Brlgudier General Saxton, on tho
transport Darlington. down the coast OF
Georgia and Florida, under command of
Colonel Beard of the 4Sth New York, for
the purpose of recruiting among the ne
rrocs for the LIST South Carolina Union
Regiment, and Of damaging the enemy
whenever opportunity offered. The ex-
pedtion asccnd,d several small rivers
and gained many accessions to the ranks
The capacity OF these recruits for sold
icrs was fully tested and unequivoca!ly
certified to by the commanding officers.
The SIT amer Potomska having conveyed
the transport, the Lieutenant command
ing gives the following testimony to the
conduct of the negro troops:
Sir: it gives me pleasure to testify to
! the admirable conduct of the negro troops
list South Carolina Voluntecrs), under
the Command of Lieut.-Col. Beard, 48 h
/ New York Volunteers, during this day 5
operation. They behaved splendidly un-
der the warm and CALLING fire we were
expose d to, in the two skirmishes with
the enemy. I did not see man finch,
contrary to my expectations.
One OF them particularly came under
my notice, who, although badly wounded
| in the face, continued to load and fire in
the coolest manner imaginable.
Every on of them acted like veterans.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM BUDD,
Acting Lieutenunt com'dg Potomska.
To the Rev. NJ. French, Chaplain U.
s. A.
Colonel Beard himself says in his re-
port:
"The colored men fought with aston
ishing coolness and bravery. For alacri-
ty in effccting landings, for determine
ton, for bush fighting, found them all |
could desire, more thun | had hoped
