From South Carolina.—A Port Royal letter of the 3d February, says most of Gen. Foster’s fleet has arrived here in good condition. The “First South Carolina Negro Regiment” arrived from an expedition 60 miles up the St. Mary’s river, Georgia, to Woodstock, which they burned after having repulsed the enemy in a severe engagement. They also destroyed a rebel saltworks. The regiment fought like veterans and repulsed superior numbers. The commander, Col. Higginson, accords them great praise for their soldierly qualities, and says there is a fiery energy about them beyond anything of which he has ever read, and attributes his success in the expedition, mainly, to Corporal Robert Sutton, formerly a slave upon the St. Mary’s river
