A gentleman who left Pocotaligo on Sunday morn.
at seven o'clock, and Beaufort ON Saturday after
noon, at two O'Clock, informs us that there appeared
no signs Of the enemy's advance on Beaufort up to
the hour of his leaving the hitter place. No infor-
nation had been received at Poctaligo of the destruc-
ton or occupation of the town up to Saturday morn
ing. The rumor, therefore, of it's being shelled by
the enemy seems to be without foundation.

taigo for Beaufort Sunday morning, by order of Gen.
Rirley. On his way from the latter place on Saturday,
our informant left a detachment OF the st. Helena
Mounted Rifemen on their way to Beaufort. Court

vicinity of Hilton Head and Bay Point, had set fire to
