The SOUTH CAROLINA REBELS AT CoosAwHAT-

connecting Savannah and Charleston passes at
Coosawhatchie within easy striking distance
of an army at Beaufort, and that the military
occupation of Coosawhatchie commands that
road, including several bridges, and breaks the
direct rebel communication between Charles

The SOUTHERN PAPERS ON THE ARREST OF
MASON AND SLIDELI.-We have received intelli-
gence from the South which shows that the
news of the arrest Of Mason and Slidell had
reached the rebels, and that while it has evil
IDENTIFY fallen as bombshell in their midst, they
console themselves with the belief that il will
bring England into the conflict, and that with
her aid they will be enabled to extort their
independence in very brief time. They pro-
badly feel that their situation has now grown
so desperate that only foreign aid can save
their cause from speedy annihilation; and the
jubilant expression of their opinion that Eng
land is soon to become their ally only indicates
their wishes, and not any well founded rational
basis for such an expectation The insurgent
chiefs will probably be disappointed in this just
as much as they have been in other matters
upon which they have confidently built, delud-
ing both their followers and themselves, till
they have been awakened to the sad reality of
their situation by the memorable logic of stub
born facts.
