Tug LATE SH!nMlSM SEAR BEAuTo&T.-!n
our issue OF the yi!, inst, we alluded 10 u col
lison between the enelny and the South
Carolina cavalry. 1t seems to have occurred
as follows:
On the 9th, at dark, a detachment Of tie
mounted regiment, under command OF Col:
w. E. Martin and Maj. q. w. Oswald, crossed
over Port Royal Ferry, under orders to COM
plete the burning of cotton commcnced ten
days previously by Capt. S. Elliott, Of the
Beaufort vuluatcer Artillery. Col. Martin,
with two guides, one of whom was Capt. y.
Barnwe, and ten mcu, proceeded towards
Beaufort, while Maj. Oswald brous 1t on the
remainder Of the detachment Of iilty men.
When within three quarters OF mile OF
the town, in perfect darkness, their advanced
party, under the Colonel, were fired upon by
the enemy's pckets, at the distance OF about
thirty yards. Of The South Carolina troops,
Capt. Barnwell was wounded. BY the return
of the fire it is supposed two OF the encmy
were killed.
Thr SOUTH Carolina cavalry remained tween,
ty-four hours on the island, and completed
the work which they were sent to do. There
is scarcely any cotton left on the is!and.-Sa-
vsnnah News, 18th.

HOW To Use II.

Hote to use bacon, is the question; And it in.
wolves n duty on the part of every man in the Con-
fedcracy The answer is plain use it with tho
strictest possible economy. Many will do this
from sheer necessity; but many others will not be
thus stratcned in its use, and it is to these ne
chiefly address the remark. Those who have
enough 10 do them, should save all they can for
the general benefit. This is patriotism. Those
who have barely enough, should strive to make
out with it, even though they are fully able to
purchase more. This is patriotism too For is
it not true, that by as much as this class Of con.
sumers keep out Of the market by just so much
will the poor of the country find bacon cheapsr
Aud again, who is he that would roll in abun-
dance whilo the country is in distress2 Wo can
not think there arc any who could do this, if
they would for moment reflect upon the princi-
pie of action above indicated and which, We sub
nit is ut once unselfsh, and calculated as far as
it goes to benefit the people OF large and by con-
sequence the common cause.

Fearing that mere important affairs haro diverted
your attention from smaller one, we take the
liberty again to invoke some action oil yenr rar;
relative to the more perfect order and sccuriy Of
this Incorporated town. 1t il surely no unsuia-
bic time to think Of this business. The scason
and our circumstances alike point 10 the propriety
Of doing so. 1t may be that you have attended
to what VIC Indicate; if 20, excuse our ignorance.
If the opposite, we hope not to be considered Off
cious in again reminding y"a ii it. Would II

CAMpAlGs IN THE WEsr.-From the Bowl
ing Green letter Of the 9th. to tie Nashville
Banner, we clip the following:

considerably forward. Each party is anxious
to gain some advantage ut tEc other, aid Is
actively on the alert to secure the advantage.
Whenever either army crosses Green River,
or moves in argerumbers toward that stream,
general engagement may be expected. As
t. VIII .cA party will first venture general ad-
vance, remains to be seen. | yet believe
that the force at this point under Johnston
and Burkner will make the a,!vanrc, and un-

be made very soon.
