Insubordination. --The Hilton Head correspondent of the New York Herald writes as follows: A small expedition sent from the First South Carolina Negro Volunteers to the inland waters of Georgia, ten days since, was obliged to return in consequence of the open insubordination of the negroes. In a melee resulting from positive mutiny, two negroes were killed by the officers, while the officer in command was almost beaten to death try a negro before the would-be murderer was shot downen to death try a negro before the would-be murderer was shot down. The mutineers were put in irons on their return to Hilton Head. On another scouting expedition from Port Royal Ferry to the maintained, in the excitement of the moment a negro accidently discharged his musket and instantly killed Lieut. Gaston, of the First South Carolina, who was ahead of him. This sad affair gave the rebels notice of the approach of a hostile force, and the object of the expedition failed in consequence.

From Charleston. Charleston, July 24th, 9 P. M. --The bombardment was renewed early this morning, with rapid and continuous firing until a flag of truce went down at 9 o'clock. The attack was renewed this evening, the enemy occasionally firing at Cumming's Point, Sumter replying heavily. The firing is still going on. We sent down to the fleet to-day one hundred and five paroled prisoners and received forty. A physician just from Hilton Head says that 54 of our regulars took the oath of allegiance last Wednesday. The casualties this morning were three killed and six wounded. Those which occurred this evening not heard from. [second Dispatch.] Charleston, July 25. --Regular firing from Fort Sumter and battery Wagner at the Yankees on Morris Island was kept up all night, and continued all of to-day. The Yankees occasionally responded from their batteries on Morris Island. The monitors and the Ironsides, lying outside, took no part to day. The

t estimate of their loss in the assault of Saturday, 18th inst., was fifteen hundred, killed, wounded, and missing. In the first repulse on the 11th three hundred and fifty badly wounded had been conveyed by the Cosmopolitan from the State to Hilton Head. He acknowledged that these disasters had been very heavy, with greater loss, for the time it lasted, than any similar action of the war, but boasted that they would yet take the battery. Lieut. Campbell, who was taken prisoner, or was sCampbell, with great presence of mind, and with his usual well known activity, pushed them off the parapet, both falling, it is said, on their own bayonet. He works, and hurried to the enemy's rear. The oath of allegiance was tendered him at Hilton Head, but rejected with the utmost scorn and contempt. The transfer of prisoners having been completed, the parties bid adieu to each other, the lines were cast off, and the steamers returned. Two of the Yankee wounded died going out. Dr. Daw

ckness have been greatly reduced during the past ten days, and the probability is, that in the course of another week the sick list will be very small. Those who are sick have the best of treatment and attention, being immediately conveyed to Hilton Head, where accommodations have been provided for them. As yet there have been no signs of the yellow fever or any other epidemic, and such is not apprehended on the island this season. A few cases occurred last year at Hilton Head, but such saniHilton Head, but such sanitary measures have been taken as, it is believed, will prevent a return of that class of disease this summer. On Morris Island not a tree or shrub is to be found.--The only thing that approaches vegetation, even in its simplest form, is a kind of rank grass which is discovered in certain spots, like the oasis in the desert. The absence of vegetation is believed to have a salutary effect on the health of the soldiers. As would be naturally supposed, the climate here is excessively warm, espec

Released. --The citizens of Camden county, Ga., who were ruthlessly torn from their homes nearly a year ago, and have been confined since that date at Hilton Head, have been released and restored to their families. Some of them were in Savannah last week, en route for home. They state that all prisoners in a like category have been discharged and sent over the lines. It was done without exchange or the assignment of any reason.

hould be permitted to go North. Correspondents brought to Grief. When Gen. Gillmore's plans were first matured much mischief was made by their premature disclosure in certain prints of New York and Boston, in which the positions of our batteries, the number and calibre of our guns, and the work they were expected to accomplish, were detailed public. This attracted the attention of the War Department, and Gen. Gillmore was directed to send all correspondents in the department to Hilton Head, and there keep them in arrest until the completion of his operations here, but as a certain gentleman of the press had secured an appointment from the Post-Office Department, and been stationed by the Secretary of the Navy on board of the flagship of the squadron, the evil could not be met by a partial banishment of the reporters.--The individual alluded to is rapidly acquiring an unenviable reputation as an author of bogus dispatches; and as his case could not be reached, and especially

olferino, and Sebastopol were mere child's play!" Prodigious!!! Where these mighty battles were fought, and where they were won, is a mystery.--Certainly not on this continent, nor since the beginning of this war. Within that time, and upon that arena, it has usually been the fortune of that army to be flogged whenever it came in contact with the Confederates. We are, however, not surprised at the enthusiasm of the Herald when we reflect that in the same article it calls the captures of Hilton Head and New Orleans greater feats than the destruction of the Spanish Armada and the battle of Nile! After this, it is not to be wondered at, that the Herald should "spread itself" in speaking of the iron-clads, those boasted ministers of Yankee wrath, which bombarded a brick fort for two months without being able to take it. Such implements of destruction must of course be very terrible to John Bull and Johnny Crapaud, and the Herald holds it up before them as we have seen children frighten

From Charleston. Charleston, Oct. 21. --Ten Yankee prisoners, including an acting ensign, captured in a barge near Georgetown by our cavalry, arrived here this afternoon. They belong to the United States schooner Ward, blockading off Georgetown, and were taken after setting fire to and destroying a small schooner loaded with cotton it. Dearing creek. There has been considerable increase in the enemy's squadron off this harbor, and an increase off Hilton Head. [Second Dispatch.] Charleston, Oct. 25. --No change in the firing. Weather very stormy. The enemy, on land and sea, quiet.

onor of taking possession of a fortress which the former had reduced. For, in pursuance of the original agreement between Dahlgren and Gillmore, the latter was actively preparing transportation for two small picked regiments, numbering together five hundred men, with whom he intended to take Sumter by escalade. This "misunderstanding"was quite fully developed by a recent correspondence between Dahlgren and Gillmore, of which we have minute information in a letter received yesterday from Hilton Head. Dahlgren first writes to Gilmore, requesting him to "subdue the fire" of Sumter, as be intended soon to remove the obstructions between that work and Moultrie, adding that if that fire could be "subdued" he might be saved the necessity of engaging Sumter with his iron clads, all whose powers would be required against the interior defences of Charleston. To which Gillmore made reply, in substance, that he had supposed that Sumter was a helpless and harmless ruins, so far as its
