Lieut.. Colonel Joseph r. Hawley, Of
the Connecticut Seventh, at Port Royal
writes to the Hartford Press, (of which
he is editor telling how the opening Of
the artificial channel known as "Wall's
Gut by means of which our gunboatf
were enabled to pass into Savannah river
between Fort Pulaski and savannah, was
accomplished. He says:
Wallis Cut, one Of the Inland passages
to Savannah, was obstructed by the reb.
els when our forces took Port Royal, by
the sinking Of brig and driving three
rows of piles across the passage. The
delicacy Of the operation Of removing the
distractions can be imagined when w
state that the place was so far within the
enemy's lines that they left it entirely un.
guarded, thinking that our troops would
not have the temelity to approach the
channel. nor the ingenuity to remove the
distractions.
But they did not know the Yankees
daring and skill. Some time before the
18th Of January the three companies q
the Connecticut 7th that were left on Hill.

end Of Daufuskie Island to act IS guard to q
party Of engineers who were to attempt
TO open Wallis Gut. From the house,
which formsd this headquarters of the
party, Savannah was plainly visible, at a
distance Of eight miles, across the marshes
and bayous. The line Of the river could
also BE- traced, and the men seen on the
decks of the black little steamers which

For the benefit Of those who have stu
diously denied that the Confederates are
training negroes as soldiers, we quote the
following paragraph entire from the Bowl
ing Green Courier Of Feb. Sd:
New ORLEAs REvIEw.-There was a
review Of troops 10 New Orleans on the
sth inst. A correspondent of the Mobile
Register makes mention Of a noticeable
feature Of II, as follows:
One of the most noticeable features in
the review Of the eighth, was the appear
ance of large regiment composed OF free
colored men, and partly oficered by men
of their own color. They are we'll armed,
clad in substantial uniforms, seemed to
be admirably drilled, and altogether made
very creditable appearance. Among
them was the company of the old veteran
Jordan. the drummer boy of the Chal-
mette, who stepped as proudly as if again
marching to victory under the command
of the lion hearted jackson. This reci-
meDt had their places in the line Of march
OF the Division, and l did not observe
that any invidious distinction was made
between them and others.

~ Who is Schuyler Hamilton" is
the question universally asked by the in
dignant friends of the I'd Iowa, who are
legion. We are not able to answer the
question, though We presume from his
name that he is son or grandson of
Alexander Hamilton. Many persons seem
to think that Col. Tuttle ought not to
have marched at all, until the outrageous
stigma attempted to be fixed upon the
whole regiment for the act Of ''so.ne mis-
creants' possibly not members Of the reg
iment. had been wiped out. Blu, we think
the ready obedience of the regiment un-
der such provoking aud outrageous in-
suit will rebound to their infinite credit.
We can scarcely doubt that Gen. Hal
leck will see that ample reparation shall
be made to the gallant Second, and VIC
shall be much mistaken if their obedi-
ence under the circumstances is not COM
mended AS worthy Of imitation and the
highest jewel in their chaplet of honors.
