THE CAPTURE OF NEGROES ON
MORGAN's ISLAND.

Our Beaufort correspondent sends us
the following account of the capture Of
negroes on Morgan's Island last week: ].
"On Friday night, May l9th,'at about
midnight, a party of rebels numbering
l6, came over from the main land in q
row-boat, landed, on Morgan's Island and,
captured twelve colored people, includ-
ing men, women and children, from a
plantation owned by Mr.. Philbrick, and
superintended by a MIR. Wells. They
also took all the personal effects of tlse
rUnrraDands, pigs, chickens, wardrobes
and trunks. Three other men were taken
and set to guard some stolen pigs, when
they made their escape, the rebels not
daring to fire upon them, from the fact
that the colored people had. told them
that there was regiment of our soldiers
on Edding's Point, which is right oppo-
site, and on st. Helena Island. The
rebels told the people left there that they
would come over again in q few nights
and take them all off; but the gunboat
John Adams went up there with a
strong picket guard, and landed them
at Edding's Point, to guard that and
Morgan's Island, and should the rebs
repeat their visit our boys will no doubt
be most happy to see them"

On the 25th the McDonough, Lieut..
Com. Phythian, the Hale, Acting Master
Mitchell, and the Coast Survey steamer
Vixen, Captain Boutelle, all under COM
mand of Captain Stone, went on recon-
noissance up the South Edisto. The
gunboats anchored opposite Gov. Aikens
place, and some howitzers, landed in
boats, were taken by party across Je-
hossa Island. The party were fired on by
a rebel battery on the, Charleston side of
the river, but no damage was done. A bat
terry OH Williston Bluff also fired on the
boats, without doing any harm. The oh
jects of the expedition were attained, and
the vessels returned to their stations.
Capt. w. H. Dennis, of the U. S. Coast
Survey, left for Morris Island on Tuesday,
with his schooner, the Caswell, TO survey
the inland passage between Light House
and S.ono Inlets. Capt. Dennis has dis.
played much skill and energy in his cap
acity of IN officer in the Coast Survey in
this Department.
The Coast Survey steamer Vixen, Capt.
Boutellc, is now lying at this station.
