Hilton Head and Beaufort.

Hilton Alead presents the appearance of a
busy little town, ,talthough it is nothing but
creation of military necessity, But one house
stood there when our forces first took possess
sion of the place. The Hilton Head expedi-
tion and the subse1 1uent occupation of Beau
! fort are still remembered as one of the first
cheering successes of the war. Since then a
considerable plumber efsrset hansas, ,lares> NJ

Of military and naval officials.
A business street, Merchants Row, has
sprung up, giving evidence of the commercial
enterprise of our army suffers Extensive
piers and wharvcs afford the necessary accom-
! lnodations for the shipping, and clusters of
naval and military work shops and store-houses
are scattered On the islands enclosing the spa
cious bay. The harbor is suid to be superior
in depth and security to those Of Charleston
and Savannah, and it, as.seens to be the in

is likely to become one of the chief CONNER

the result can hardly be doubtful: All that

An hours ride on steam tug took us across
the bay to Beaufort. The appearance of the
town disappointed my expectations. When
i,nr troops took possession Of it in the early
ps't.'f the war, it was described by the news
plo'r correspondents as composed of the most
r?nt'r,t mansions;, in which the wealthy plan
ters Of this region led luxurious life. There
are indeed some large houses in the place, but
they are clumsey, sober looking square struo-
Ytures, with nothing of that ornamental ele-
gance which We are accustomed to fipd in the
country houses of the North. The town. is at
present almost exclusively inhabited by COL
ored people; saw but very few white faces
there. An ambulance ride to a plantation in
sheancigh ghborhood was far more interesting
