The region around Port Royal Entrance and
Island has -a strange, eventful and romantic his
tory. It 'Was, in 'fact, the first settled spot on
the coast Of North America. Row interesting,
in view of our expedition, to read the story of'
another expedition to the same locality, just
three hundred years ago. The first colony was
sent out by Admiral Coligni, a zealous Protest
anti and then one of the Minisiers of the Crown,
who at, the time of the War between the French,
Protestants and Catholics obtained permission of
Charles IX. to plant :a colony of Protestants in
Florida—a name then applied also to a great part
of the Southern Coast. Command ,of two ves
sels was accordingly given to Jean Ribault, "a
man experTin:sekcattsee," and in the
_Spring ,of
1562 he landed' on the Florida Cottit. Sailing
Northward, 'he Aiscoiered: several Vlvers; One of
which, from' " the fairness and largeness of its
harbor," he called the Port Royal River. The
old chronicler Landoniere, who accompanied the
expedition, describes the scene in glowing colors.
Splendid forests, shorestfestoofted witbrielf grape
clusteri; birds Of'brilliatit plumage; 'stags and
deer in the luxuriant savannahs. As the 001 d
-
mender cast his eye across 'the waters of the
beautiful river liefore him, says L'audoniere and
measured the breadth of its mouth' and , thtif
depth of ',its Sounding, 'he persuaded himself that.
"all the argosies of Venice could ride upon its
bosom." Accordingly, loon the island a kevt
miles.up Port Royal River he, erected„it is said,
on the Very spot where the town of Beinfoitnow
stands, a pillar with the arms of France, and a 1
few days after built a fort which, in honor of
King, Charles IX., he, called,Charles' Fort--Arx
Caro/in:a—from which circumstance the 'c'ountry
took the name of Carolina. , Ribault reminded
the colonists that they were now occupants of a
" vast country, filled with every goodly promise,
where every, man was to •be hthiored, not 'for his'
birth or fortune, but on aocOunt-of his 'own per
sonal achievements "=a .leeson, - -by the way,-
sadly neglected by after-settlers of. Carolina.,
Thus it was on that very. spot. that, for the trst
time, three hundred years ago, on the North,
American Coast, the flag of a, civilized colony
might be Seen' by the apprciric'hing mariner. But
this Met French colony did not flourioh, and„
after sending out another to the same locality,
thekFrench; in 1567, gave up all idea of making
settlements.
Port Royal is thus, manifestly, &place of.great'
importance. The harbor is iovaluable to our na
val operation& Beaufort and vicinity is one of the
best bases we could select for military operations.
Raving command of the sea, we can transport
men, provisions and military stores thither alimst
artreadily and cheaply as to IWashington.- It
will be easy thence to penetrate .the country.
Charleston is" about fifty miles , North, by rail;
aria,Savannah is some thirty miles South. Both,
of thire places, the most important in the South,
except Mobile and New Orleans, may be thence
aisailia, and the interior , ay,be peuetrated at

great shipping port, forAlte outlet of Southern
products.
The whole Of this region-hould be studied ion
the map s as it has quite an amphibious character.
The-mouths of the rivers and -the inlets ofrthe
ocean inclose a number of islands of considerable
size among which- may be mentioned .Hilton
Head, St. Helena, and Port Royal.
The possession of the fine harbor of Beaufortor,
Port Royal thus gives command of. one of•the most
important, and, for the designs the army •of , the
Union has in view in making a lodgrnent, on. the
Southern coast, most advantageous bases of ope

an area of i,540 square miles. The surface is
low and level, and the soil sandy and alluvial,
producing cotton, rice, eta., in great abundance.
Our troops will thus find themselves lodged in

county) in the State---fyielding some fifty Millions

simple process, and, moreover, that. we havwthe.

Berry' to say that this 'is ``a complete, detneion:-on,
the part of those who.-entertain-it. • The cotton

any moment, but, that ip an event . which, depends

to' interfere in the matter. It - islerfectly true,
that the Queen of England i or the Emperer of

That is an exercise of snpreme.authority which
cannot be called in question r The practical

error. Instead of -releasing the cotton Which is

:France would be CO render the bloCkade more

ral and necessary result.;3lThose who 'advocate
the adoption of this, step, leen). to think that it
would give some kind of `right to interfere : with.
the
.blockade: This is a`sericis mistake. The
right of blockading an enemy's ports is one
which :from the earliest, , times; has never been
disputed. Questions have arisen, aUchwill arise,
