lost, or obscured by defeat The final
success of Grants army will squeeze the
rebellion into space too narrow to let
it live easy, if the way should end the
next day.
While the Eastern papers have studi-
ously avoided making special mention
of what our soldiers in the army Of the
Potomac did at Charlottesville, we are
glad to observe that their brigade and
division commanders are not so "hide
bound" The Goth Indiana is highly
commended by Gen. Ward From the
beginning this regiment was in the ex-
treme front, and was continually send
ing in prisoners, and at one time cap
tured the entire 23d Georgia Regiment,
except its Colonel, who shamefully de-
serted his command.
General Ward, in his official report,
thus specially mentions the regiment:
X
"The Doth Indiana recently assigned
to this brigade have nobly sustained
their we'll earned reputation on the Pc
ninsula, capturing nearly the whole OF
the 23d Georgia regiment. Their cool
ness and undaunted courage merited and
received the encomiums of all who wit
messed their actions"

All who know this gallant officer know
that such words from him are no slight
compliment.

The Late Expedition or Negro
Troops I'm South Carolina.

A correspondent q the Now York Herald
writes from Hilton Head, 8. g.. June ai,s as
follows: oh rfi'f' 1f4' 54sia
As n sort Of postscript send few details
of the South Carolina expedition. They stsrt-
ed on Monday evening last They proceeded
up 10 Combahee river, after taking troops OFT
the Sentinel, which had grounded. They ar.
rived at tho Colnbahee early Tuesday morn
ing and then quietly steamed up that streaIp
to Fields Point, twenty miles fiom its mouth,
where they landed. The rebel pickets then
quickly fed, leaving strong eanhworks.-
Leaving a company there they went up to
Tar Bluff, and left company there TO pro-
tect their line Of communication. They then
threw out parties, and the negroes at work In
the fields ran towards tie boats in spite Of
pistols 10 the hands OF the drivers. a large
number came in. The John adams destroy
ed pontoon bridge at Comtahee Ferry, but
distractions prevented her further advance
Col. Haywood's plantation, at Green Pond,
was visited by company, and bis horses,
carriages, &C., were captured, bis rice mill,
storehouse filled with rice, &C., were burned.
Returning, they were attacked BY rebel sharp
shooters and cavalry. They held their ground
and drove off the rebels with the aid OF tho
shell from the John adams. Tho section Of
artillery went up the other si!c of the river,
and burned cotton, rice and grist mills, rice, ,
plantation houses, and captured number OF
mules. The steamers were loaded with ne
groes, to the number Of seven hundred and
over; but many were left behind, as tho ex-
pedi,ion was obliged to hasten back. % s'
In the meantime the detached companies
were attacked by small forces Of rebels, but
stood their ground till the steamers came up
and dispersed the rebels with shell. AT
Fields p ,int the rebels had a battery, but the
guns of the Harriet Wood drove il off The
Companies wero taken on board, and the ex'
petition arrived back at daylight this morn
ing. The negroes were quartered in church
and all the able bodied men are 10 be drafted
into COL Montgomerys regiment. Durlng
the absence OF tho expedition plantation. hous-
es, rice mills and storsbouses filed with two
crops of rice were burned indiscriminately +,
and the rice plantations were flooded, so as to
spoil the crop for this year. Consider able
quantities of cotton were also destroyed. Col,
Montgomery, it is understood, takes the whole
responsibility of the burning OF private res'-
dences and other unusual acts OF warfare, de-
Tending them as the true policy Tor conduct
ing a war against rebels.
The expedition did not loose man, and
ccomplisbed, it is claimed, all the olJGcts Tor
which it was designe'.

DO Not put Dirty Wool INSIDE of a
Fleece.

The Wool Grower says an important
woolsuit was recently decided at Bath, Stu
ben County, N. Y, in which o. A. willard
& Co., of Boston, were plaintiffs, and Enos
Merritt wool grower, of Yates county, N. Y,
was defendant. The plaintiffs alleged fraud
and sci forth in their declaration that in July
1860, their agent bargaincd with defendant
for lag feeces Of wool at 473c per h., full
market price at the time, for good fine
wool, 10 be delivered in good condition.
Tho agent testified that he had sgreed for
the wool on tue sleeps back soon after j,
had been washed, and the dcfendent agreed
10 put bis wool up in good condition. The
wool was brought AID delivered TO the agent,
apparently in good fair co dltion, externally
and hc received it and paid the stipula' ed
price, Bot soon after he discovered by open
ing some fceces that some half pound o.
uuwashed tags, and much dirt and filth were
in each fleece This was proved by several
witnesses who ass,led in opening the ileeces.
Tho defendcnt proved that he had washed
his sheep clean aud put bis wool in good con
dilion, but acknow ledged that he put un
washed tags in each fleece, and claimed thai
it was the common custom Of wool growers
10 bis vicinity. He introduced several whc
swore that such was their method, aud sup
p sed it to be the general usage.
Plaintiffs proved by several respectable far
mers that they never put their unwashet
tags in their Heec s, and they were not aware
that it was customary to co so. 1t was ar
gued by counsel for defence that the common
usage should protect his client in putting il
tags; inasmuch as the agent received, accept
eI, and paid for tho wool and made no b
lection at the tire, plaintiffs should not re
recover. Also, he claimed that it was tn
agents duty to open the hseces at the tim
TO ascertain their condition.
Counsel for plaintiffs argued that inasmucl
as tho wool appeared outwardly in good or
der, the agent had good rlason to believ
that tho inside must be in corresponding con
dlion, according to the usual appearance o
tho inside and outside of nceces The cour
SO rulel, ami remarked that the purchase
was not obligelto open the heeces when b
purchased wool, to ascertain the condition
and that the seller had no right to concea
anything in the fleece like unwashcd tags Q
anything understandable. The jury fouu'
9 cents per pound damages for plaintiffs
74s lbs. Of wool, with interest from tho tim
Of purchase. TIE defendent also had to pa
the Costs Of the suit.
