NOBLE CONDUCT OF THE GOVERNOR OF
RHODE IsLAND.-A squad of SO men under
command Of Lieut. Adams and Sergeant A.
M. Sawyer, left Camp Cony, Augusta, last
Wednesday, bound to Bedlow's Island and
Washington. They left Fail River in the
steamer Commonwealth Friday evening and
were out all night in the storm. Noprovision
had been made for the men on board the boat,
and on Saturday morningit was found that
they we're likely to get no breakfast. At this
juncture, Gov. Smith of Rhode Island, who
was on board the steamer, ordered the best
breakfast that could be got up, to be served to
the soldiers, saying that he would pay for it.
This was done, and in short time the gallant
soldiers sat down to smoking feast, which
was consumed with great zest. Gov. Smith
drew his check for the amount. He will not
soon be forgotten by these men, who on the
arrival of the steamer at New York, gave him
three rousing cheers as he stepped onto the
wharf. aa55 .aoslbsrs
