state that the enlistment expires at the end
of three years whether the war is thea ended

Timely Words.

The attention Of every reader is directed to the
an interesting point. The "0n-to- Washington ,
journals ana mock heroes would do well to ponder
its plain statement and sensible concluding sug-
gestion. We are infringing no point of dccorum
in publishing the extract:
g I regret exceedingly to see the opposition
manifested by many to the course pursued by the
Administration in carrying on the defensive ope-
rations against the enemy. It is quite easy for
"by standers to make observations" Those who
complain of the tsrdincss Of the Administration
and its failure to advance upon Washington City,
certainly have never reflected upon the fact that
our forces were not sufficient to warrant such a
course, even should such course have been dc.
termined upon.
'.As one of the officers of S. CIV. in the Con.
fedcrate service, I must say the Administration
has ncbly discharged its duty.
"When we reflect that ut the battle Of Manassas
Plains 70 had, (al told) only about 27OOO troops,
who had been daily and nightly for fee days
watching the movements of the enemy; and when
We still further reflect, that on the whole day of
the 21st Of July, about ten thousand Of the 1900
troops were all day engaged, we must conclude
that force Of 1000 troops, with about thirty
miles to march to Washington City, could not
have reached tha: point until about Tuesday noon
with one fourth Of this 1000 firing by the way
side. We must then acknowledge the enemy to
be the most degraded, vile and cowardly-race that
inhabit tho Globe if we can conclude We could
have occupied and retained Washington City.
"What are the facts? The onemy had at the
very lo,eeSt estimate possible, about $4,000 place
in their intrenchments. We could not have reached
there in good time with more than $1,000 at mcst;
could 10000 tired and jaded, though gallant troops
have stormed the many strongholds Of the enemy
and occupied Washington City?
:" Let us all lay aside our opposition and "make
long pull, strong pull, and q pull altogether
Then if we do not succeed, forfeit my life"

LATEST NEWS.
From the Churleston Courier, llh inst.
Latest from Beaufort.

A gentleman who left Pocataligo on Sunday
morning at o'clock and Beaufort on Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock, informs US that there
appeared no signs of the enemy's advance on Beau
for. up to the hour of his leaving the latter place.
No information had been received at Pocataligo
of tho destruction occupation Of the town up to
Sunday morning. The rumor, therefore, Of its
being shelled by the enemy seems to be without
foundation.
The Rutledsc Mounted Rihcmcn started from
Pocataligo for Beaufort Sunday morning by order
of Gen. Ripley. On his way up from the latter
place on Saturday, our informant met dctach-
ment of the st. Helena Mounted Rilemen on their
way to Beaufort. Couriers are continually pass
ing between Beaufort and Pocataligo. Several Of
the Planters on tho Island in the vicinity of Hill
ton Head and Bay Point, had set fire to their Cot
ton to prevent its falling into the hands of the
enemy.
Gen. Dunovant's Regiment had arrived ut Po-
cataligo all safe.
Col. Clingmans North Carolina Regiment had
also arrived mt Cuosahatchie.

development of prcconcerted plan, to prevent or
deny the arrival of suecors to the cotton States.
Occurring,t'as these villainies did simultaneously
with the attack on the coast, it is impossible to
doubt that thore aro accomplccS Of the Federal
Government scattered through Northern Georgia
and East Tennessee. They may not be numerous
but are sufficient for the mischief they have un-

Charleston and Edsetield.

In the present emergency it is we'll to compare
the relative military exhibits of the up-country
and the !ow-country Of South Carolina; and, to
illustrate the contrast briefly, we take Charleston
District for the latter division, Edgefeld District
for tho former
What Charleston has contributed directly to tho
Confederate cause in men, we are not fully aP-
priced of. Every one is moro than willing to make
liberal estimate in this regard. But, according
to our information, that estimate cannot exceed
five hundred.
Edgefeld has contributed to the common cause
about fourteen hundred men. Indeed she has
nearly that number now actively engaged IN the
field, five hundred of whom upon our own
coast while the rest have been in hard service for
many months.
This relative proportion of nearly three to one
will probably be found to hold good as between
the two divisions of the State above indicated.
Our only purpose in mentioning tho eircum-
stance, is to say that the low-country ought now
to do, that which We know it wW do, viz: put
forth its strength us one man to repe the invader
The up-country will not be found wanting, as its
exhibit thus fur has shown.
In the Governors message we see mentioned
some 5000 troops in Charleston put on war foot
ing, twenty corps of mounted men in the parishes
and brigade forming in rear of Georgetown.
These forces, all brought into active duty, will
place the low-country in fair comparison with the
rp-country. But until this is done, further call
upon the upper portion of the State for volunteers
to take tie tieid will not have the appearance of
equal justice. That the up-county will respond
to any and every call that may be made, VIC have
not a doubt And in case Of actual invasion, our
people will turn out universally if need be. Still
it may be questionable how far it is proper TO
press generous team. Let every part Of the
State, if practicable pull alike. Apul NIL together
must be made, if we would not drain too closely
come portions of the State to the exoncratou and
consequent inglorious inactivity Of others.-In
making these observations, we entertain M sus-
picion of any section or district-but We wish to
see the fair thing done on all sides.

In Doubt,

The Charleston Mercury Of Monday says at the
head of its news column:
We have not word of authentic news from
Beaufort. The report came over the wires yester-
day, that the place had been bombarded and
burned. Later in tho day, We heard that tho
town was not burned, but that it had been occu-
pied by the enemy. We cannot vouch for either
statement. The regular news dispatches from the
scene Of the invasion are, we presume, suppressed
by military authority. Our special corrcspon-
dents hnve sent us no dispatches of late, so that
We must be content to watch and wait.
