The Nelrs and Courier says the parade and
review of the colored troops in Charleston on
Wednesday was altogether creditable. They
looked and marched well, but we're rather
late in assembling. The parade was composed
OF the First and Second regiments and the
Grant and WAGNER cavalry. The troops
marched up King street to the Citadel
Green, where they were reviewed by the Adju-
tant General and his staff. General Manigault
addressed them briefly, compl menting them
on their creditable appearance, and assuring
them that the State would aid them if they ad-
hered to the order and discipline shown. There
are at least ten good companies, which will be
strengthened by the wedding out of some who
failed TO pass muster.
A correspondent OF the Netos aud Courier,
speaking of the proposed improvement OF the
Citadel Green, pays this compliment to Savsn-
nah: 'If our little sister city of Savannah had
that space in the centre of its city we laggards
would not know it in less than a month"
NetUs and Courier: .'The large bell of st.
Michael's chimes, which was cracked about a
year ago and sent 70 England to be recast,
reached here few days ago on board the
Norwegian bark AIica, from London The
joint resolution TO release the Del from the
payunent of customs dues is still pending in
Congress. and as soon as it is passed it is hoped
the chimes viii be restored and the public re-
lieved of the torture Of hearing hymns on Sun
day played upon seven bells.

grants arrived on the steamer City OF Atlantis
from Castle Garden, New York, ON Tuesday

Is to surmount the monument at Spartanburg,
is now standing complete in the foundry OF

his rife brigade-Ieather hunting shirt,
breeches and moccasins. The General is repre-
sentad as having Just drawn his sword on sight
