Insubordination.

--The Hilton Head correspondent of the New York Herald writes as follows:

‘ A small expedition sent from the First South Carolina Negro Volunteers to the inland waters of Georgia, ten days since, was obliged to return in consequence of the open insubordination of the negroes. In a melee resulting from positive mutiny, two negroes were killed by the officers, while the officer in command was almost beaten to death try a negro before the would-be murderer was shot down. The mutineers were put in irons on their return to Hilton Head. On another scouting expedition from Port Royal Ferry to the maintained, in the excitement of the moment a negro accidently discharged his musket and instantly killed Lieut. Gaston, of the First South Carolina, who was ahead of him. This sad affair gave the rebels notice of the approach of a hostile force, and the object of the expedition failed in consequence.
