TIE REVIEW AT BEAUFORT.
The grand review and inspection Of the
forces Un Port Rnyal Island, on Thursday last,
~ Alajor General Hunter, vas one Of the
finest atlirs Of the kind We have Witnessed
in the department. The day was clear and
beautiful, and not warm enough to make the
marching oppressive to the troops. When
Gen. Hunter, accompanied by Gen. S,xton and
their respective Etafs,- rode on the parade
ground. he was received BY salute u thir-
teen guns, fired By company S, 1st United
States artillery, Lieutenant Gibbs in com
uaand.
The General Commanding then passed IN
and down the lines, receiving the customary
honors. Afterwards he inspected the troors,
which embraced only. tue Infantry and artli.
weakened By details and in furnishing an es-
cort for the General Commanding, that they
were exempted from the order Of parade.
The inspection was most satisfactory to all
concerned, the troops exhibiting thorough
knowledge OF their duties, 4 careful attention
to important matters Of personal cleanliness
and ncatness in dress, and, in short, grow
ing tSprif tfu corps most gratifying to observe,
After the inspection had been completed the
troops passed in review before the General
Commanding, marching with the steady step
and air OF veterans.
Tie regiments from the Army Of the Poto-
! mac, thinned by disease and battles, attracted
much attention by their soldlcrlv appearance
The review wills witnessed by 4 large number
Of spectators, among whom were many ladies,
ITEMS FROM TIE RICHMOND PAPERS.
From the Richmond Examiner o,hl
CAPTURED ARMs-Goss1p oF YANKEE IRIS
oSERs.
The last Of the trains Just mentioned came
from Hanlilton's Crossing. In 4 conTersa-
| tim with Capt B1akey, the mail agent, We
LeaTd sonl,: Interesting details.
At Hamilton: Crossing there are more mus
kets piled on either side Of the road tlan
have ever been seen together since the WAT.
They were left on the battle fields BY the
| Yankees, and MANY thousand more there are
! which have not vet been collected.
The number Of cannon captured By our army
| IS not yet known. but it Is said to be oycr
| fifty. 1t is doubtful whether the pieces taken
| from the Washington Artillery wcrc rcc,lp-
tnrcd. 1t is most probable the enemy hurried
the,n to the rear, that they might thereafter
| be paraaed as trophies aud boosted over.
The Yankee prisoners ad.uit that they were
awfully beaten, but say that it was uwing to
the fact, which they never cease to proclaim,
that they have no Generals. Many of the
prisoners say that Hooker tell, or was knock
I'd from his horse, during the battle Of Sun
day. They know nothing more than that they
saw him fall This was, doubtless, the origin
Of the story that he had been wounded, and
lad lis leg tnken of.
One Of the Yankee officers, brought to thi:
city, told 4 gentleman, who Was In converse
tion with him, that Burnside was not beatc CT
at Fredericksburg was repu1scd-but thai
Hooker had gotten "perhaps the d-est tlrub
5ing that ever General had.'
AL our troops arc jubi1ant over what they
consider as beyond all comparison the great
| est victory Of the war. They say the victory
IF the 18th Of December was not circunl'
stance 10 it.
I We have omitted to mention that the Tan
kce officers sent down OIL Thursday night
were rnt into tue latirs' cars, while the Tor
Of the sanle cars were covered with oul
wounded. Tie scoundrcls should be 1natle II
to remain where they are until the last one .
our wounded has been brought down.
THE TRAINS or YESTERDAY.
The first ambulance train Of yesterda,
reached the city shortly after SIX O'Clock p. nj
1t brought down $50 wounded pnd :, Yankee
officers. Citizens were In Attendance, will
great quantities Of refreshments, tea, coffee
liquors, aud bread and meat, to al Of w.licl
the wounded did ample Justice. The obnox
ious military feature of bayonetinG ciiizrn
away from the caEs did not manifest itself 81
immediately az upon the previous day Oal,
after the wounded Lad bren supplied with re
fresAn,cnts WAS the guard organized and tn
| street cleared.
