Col. Wardrop's Sword.--Gen. Hill, captured at Roanoke Island, has a sword belonging to Col. David W. Wardrop, of the Union Coast Guard.
The sword, which was presented to Col. Wardrop by his friends while he was a captain, and is inscribed accordingly, was loaned to Theodore Winthrop, and was taken by Hill at Big Bethel.
It is a pity that Col. Wardrop's wish to have a hand in the next tussle with Hill was not gratified.
Several companies of his command were engaged in the affair.--Boston Journal.
