Is there to be no limit, no end to the injustice we heap upon this unfortunate people?
Cannot even the fact of their being in arms for the nation, liable to die any day in its defence, secure them ordinary justice?
Is the nation so poor, and so utterly demoralized by its pauperism, that after it has had the lives of these men, it must turn round to filch six dollars of the monthly pay which the Secretary of War promised to their widows?
It is even so, if the excuses of Mr.Fressenden and Mr.Doolittle are to be accepted by Congress and by the people.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, T, W.HIGGINSON, Colonel commanding 1st S.C.Volunteers.
NEW VICTORIES AND OLD WRONGS To the Editors of the Evening Post: On the 2d of July, at James Island, S.C., a battery was taken by three regiments, under the following circumstances: The regiments were the One Hundred and Third New York (white), the Thirty-Third United States (formerly First South Carolina Volunteers), and the Fifty-Fifth Massachusetts, the two last being colored.

They marched at one A.M., by the flank, in the above order, hoping to surprise the battery.

As usual the rebels were prepared for them, and opened upon them as they were deep in one of those almost impassable Southern marshes.

The One Hundred and Third New York, which had previously been in twenty battles, was thrown into confusion; the Thirty-Third United States did better, being behind; the Fifty-Fifth Massachusetts being in the rear, did better still.

All three formed in line, when Colonel Hartwell, commanding the brigade, gave the order to retreat.
