ONE OF GOD'S NOBLEMEN.—A flat-boat full of soldiers, a few of whom were Africans, attempted to land at Rodman's Point, on the coast of South Carolina. The rebels were awaiting their approach in ambuscade, and reserved their fire till the end of the boat was resting on the shore, and then opened a deadly fire. Life could only be saved by lying flat on the boat's bottom, and if they remained inactive long, the whole boat-load would be captured. One of the negro soldiers, who saw the situation, and the vital importance of getting the boat off, as well as the imminent danger of the attempt, said: “Somebody got to die to get us all out dis ’ere, and it mought jus’ as well be me as any body?” He then deliberately rose up, stepped on shore, and pushed the boat off. As she swung clear, and the men crouched in the bottom were saved, the body of the noble African fell forward into the end of the boat, pierced by five bullets.
