Gen. saxton has transmitted the following
to tho War Department:
BEAUFORT, s. c., Jan. u, 1868.
Hon Edwin n. Stanton, Secretary ofWar:
DEAR S1R Il have the honor to report That
South Carolina volunteers is now completed.
The regiment is light infantry. composed Of
ten companies of about cighty-six men each,
armed with muskets and otiicercd By white
men. In organization, drill, discipline, and
morale, this regiment, for the length Of time
it has been in service. is not surpassed by any
white regiment in this department. Should it
ever be its good fortune to get into actiou. l
have no fear but it will win Its way to thc con-
fdeDcc Of those who are willing to recognize
courage and manhood, and vindicate the wise
policy Of the Administration, in phtting these
to strike 4 blow for the country and their oTlt
liberty, In no regiment haTe1 ever seen duty
performed with SO much checrfulness aud alac-
rty; and as scntine1s, they are peculiarly yigi-
lant. hare never seen, In any body OF men,
sucl, enthusiasm ard deep-seated devotion to
surely 60 wherever they arc led. Every man
| is 4 volunteer, and seems fully persuaded OF
| the importance of his service to his race. In

bored under difficulties which might
have discouraged one who had
less faith in the wisdom Of the
measure; but an1 glad to report that the
experiment is complete success. Ny belief
| is, that when We get a footing on the 1nsin
| land, regiments may be raised, which will d.
| more than any now in service to put All enc

WHAT TO EXPECT.

It may be set down as fact that, what
ever legislation in Congress, whatever poll
cy in the Cabinet, or whatever strategy in
the field, promises to hurt the rebel cause
and reduce the enemy to submission, will
be denounced BY the Copperhcads, either
as q violation Of the, Constitution md IN
act Of usurpation by the "tyrant Lincoln" !"
or as IN outrage upon the rights Of hu-
manity and the usagcs Of civilization. Our
readers will understand TINT the hot and
fiery phrases that the denouncers will use,
are only so many confessions that they
feel the treason that they dare not
express. The meancst one Of them dare
not assert in private conversation that he
believes that alr. Lincoln, his immediate
advisers, or his party friends, hive any de-
signs upon the liberties Of the people, or
upon the perpetuity Of the Constitution
ms it is" Their blatlering is for party ef
fcct,-to obtain power in the North, and
finally, to rcassert the claim Of the De.
mocracy, strengthened by slavery, to rule
the country. That's the English Of all o.
it And to attain their wishes they arr

Col. Roone, Of tic New York 3'th in
antzy gave complimentary dinner 10
the veteran Gen. Wool, at pelmontco's, in
New York. There were about fifty Invited
guests present. Gen. Wool, in response TO
i complimentary toast, made M eloquent
specch. Hc was for the whole country, and
nothing but the whole country. No CON-
promise, no separation, no lire Of dcmar}sa-
tion; and to preserve that Union invlolatc,

He woulil give all to preserve the county
and restore it 10 its original condition,

nation commanding the respect Of the
world, whose dug was respected under every
cline and upon every soil. Where was it
now. Broken up by bitter war between
the North and the South, which originated
through the ambition Of q few men.
He was the last man who would listen to
compromise, and would not hesitate to de
nounce the man as guilty Of treason Whc
wouldsuggestit II the compromiscrs want

hands Of q wealthy corporation, and its al.
fairs are conducted with great commercial
and political ability and skill, But, like
too many of our own papers. it is not proof
against corruption, and you may buy its
talent and influence to any cause, for so
much q column. It is clear enough,
that it has lately been subsidized
By the Sccessionists, and they have
had to pay fabulous price for their big
English whistle. For even the Tines,
which is SO matchlcss in its cfErontery-in
its brazen impudence-in its lies, and frau
dulent transactions-could not be bought
over to advocate the sovereignty Of indifid-
ual States, and The divine right Of Slavery
unless it secured for Its tergiyersation
and trcachery moro than Thirty Pieces Of
Silver.
There is indeed but one sacred column in
this abominable and most infamous sheet
and that is the one devoted to the
"Money Article" There is no buying this,
nor tampering with it. Virtue and
morality and religion, truth, liberty
and Justice are fair marketable con,modi-
ties, but the price Of stocks, Of the three per
cents, Of gold and bullion, and all the rest OF
| them, is not to be misstated. Conscience
reigns over this one column, at least anu
oil the others are rotten with corruption.
| As might be expected the English Gov
eminent, through its agents and secret ser
vice money, makes frequent use OF the
! Times to feel the pulse Of the people upon
| any doubtful measure which they are de-
sirous of carrying; and many shaky min
istry has been bo1stered up by the Satanic
| eloquence Of this vile pander of abuses, o1
wrong and enormous crime.
Our own people are far too sensitive ol
the opinion which the English Times, and
the English people entertain Of them and
| their doings Be sure the opinion OF the
Tines weighs not feather with the great
bulk Of the English people, and all the
virtue and intelligence to be found in their
| 1nnks is ranged On the side Of the North in
the present struggle for the Onion
Instead Of paying this sensitive heed to tlle
ubiquitous Tines, VIC should be grateful
that this paper, which is fit only tt
represent Yahoos in their cloacum ofabom
ination, should find in lis so much that i
worthy Of its ridiculc, and condemnation

our loyal readers as still have doubts
about The propriety Of putting muskets |

thority to speak undcrstanaingly, nor his
inclination to speak truthfully, on the SUBJ
iect, can be doubted. He is high-toned
and an excellent officer, and his
statements must be received as
facts. If co. we ask the readers to whom
We refer. if this is not an encouraging

plays such "alacrity," vigilance" "enthu-

The London Times Is usually regarded
MS the exponent Of popular opinion in
England. When any great question is agi-
tating the public mind, every one is eager
to see what this journal says about it; and
even those who know the exact value Of
the Thundc1er's opinion, and the amount
ofreliance to be placed upon it, read its
leading articles with nervous interest,
and oftcn with 1ll-conccalcd trepidation, as
if the "Scamp Jupiter Of Printing House
Square should have committed, in
himself to tie wrong side Of the advocacy.
These facts chow, at least, the power that
the Times possesses; but that it represents
the thought, feeling and convictions Of the
English people, is altogether q mistake.
They like to read it, it is true, Us one likes
to read brilliant essay, or q smart speech,
but the5 are not hoodwinked by it, nor Gu
joled by its specious eloqucnce and spark
ling wit. They call it the Lying
1fmes,' and the middle and work
ing classes especially, arc fierce in
their dcnunciations Of it. It is the AUTO
crat of the Press, and treats all its cotem~
poraries with supreme contempt. But
strong as it undoubtedly is in all that con-
s,itutes strength, and wonderfully talented
as most of its articles are, it has never yet
stood as the conqueror Of the people when
they have arraycd themselves against it.
IN intelligent, persistent expression Of
opinion on New Hall Hill in Birmingham,
at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, at
Paradise Square in Sheffield, and at the
enormous Cloth Hall Of Leeds, has many
time dashed the thunder from the hand Of
Jove, and brought him to terms Of peace.
and compelled him to cat his own words
and advocate the cause Of his opponents
The 1ymes processes TINT it never tr;cs
