But lust on the eve when the commsn-
der of this department was about to ac-
complish something which might cover it
with honor, the necessity of the time, as
interpreted by subordinate officers, led to q
complete suppression of news. If the or
der was essential to military success, 1t
was eminentIy proper; but the military
position here has been adverse to secresy.
Although the manner in which the enemy
obtained news from this quarter has not
yet been discovered, yet, every man, from
Geu. Saxton down to the American citizen
of African descent in the uniform of Uncle
SamGel, is aware that every feature of

cautions, however, seemed only to have

Yesterday was signaled by one of the
few great events in this dull military dis
trict, which, with the exception of an odd
shot or two from hostile pickets beyond
Beaufort, may be regarded as region of
contingent peace. The war, however, has
come to our doors, and it necessarily in
wolves this department in the contest.
There is, perhaps, no quarter of the
South more appropriate as a base Of ope:
rations than Hilton Head and ,Beaufortj
yet the resources OF aggressive power
which they offer have been seldom used.
When advantages have been taken OF
these resources, the operations were called

cessity. A mighty body of troops have
been tFansportedato the headquarters of

ardor for some new field where the prac-
tical life of the soldier might be exempli-
