Charlestonand Edgefield. In the present emergency it is well to compar the relative military exhibitiof the up-countr and the low-country of South Carolinrt; and, t illustrate the contrast briefly, we take Charlesto District for the latter division, Edgefield Distric for the former. What Charleston has contributed directly to th Confederate cause in men, we are not fully ap prized of. Every one is more than willing to mak a liberal estimate in this regard. But, uccordinl to our infirmation, that estimate cannot exceel five hundred. - Edgefield has contributed to the common caus about fourteen hundred men. Indeed she ha nearly that number now actively engaged in the field, five hundred of whom are upon our owl coast, while the rest have been in hard service fo: many months. This relative proportion of nearly three to bni will probably be found to hold good as between the twedivisions of the State above indicated. Our only purpose in mentioning the circum stance, is to say that the low-country ought nor to do, that which we know it will do, viz: pul forth its strength as one man to repol the invader. The up-country will not be found wanting, as its exhibit thus far has shown. In the Governor's message we see mentioned some 3000 troops in Charleston put on a war foot. ing, twenty corps of mounted men in the parishes, and a brigade forming in rear of Georgetown. These forces, all brought into active duty, will place the low-country in fair comparison with the up-country. - But until this is done, a further call upon the upper portion of the State for volunteers to take the field sill not have the appearance of equal justice. That the up-county' will respond to any and every call that may be made, we 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 a generous team. Let every part of the State, if practicable, pull alike. A pull all together must be made, if we would not drain too closely some portions of the State to the exoneration and consequent inglorious inactivity of others.-In making these observations, we entertain no sus picion of any section or district,-but we wi-"h to see the fair thing done on all sides.

The attention of every reader is directed to the subjoined expressions of Col. Tstos. G. BAcoN on as interesting point. The "On-to-Washington journals and mock-beroes would do well to ponder its plain statement, and sensible concluding sug. gestion. We are infringing no point of decorum in publishing the extract: "I regret oxceedingly to see the opposition manifesteud by many to the coutrse pursued by the Administration in carrying on the defensive ope rations against the enetmy. It is qtuite easy for " by standers to make observations." Thoase who complain of thme tardineuss of the Adminisraition and its failure to advance upon Washington City, certainly have never retlect:ed up)on the fact that our forces were not suflicient to warrant such a course, even should such a course have becn de termined upon. "As one of the officeers of S. C.V. in the Con federate service, I must say the Administration has nobly discharged its duty. " When we reflect that at.the battle of Manassas Plains we had, (all told) only about 27000 troops, who had been daily and nightly for feec dug. watching the mnoyements of the enemy: and when we still further reflect, that on the whole day of the 21st of July, about ten thousand of the 27000t troops were all day engaged, we must conclude that our force of 17000 troops, with about thirty miles to march to Washington City, could not have reached that point until about Tuesdny neon with one fourth of this 17000 tiring by the way side. We must then acknowledge the enemny to be the most degraded, vile and cowardly-race that inhabit the Glob, if we can conclude we could have occupied and retained Washington City. " What are the facts? The enemy had at the very loest estimate possible, about 22000 to plaice in their intrenchmen ts. We could not have reached there in good tiene with more than15000tt at mest; could 15000 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 a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether." Then if we do not succeed, I forfeit my life." The Brightest of the Year.

S From" the Churketon Cunrier, IIltk inet. o Latest from Beaufort. 1 A gentleman who left Pocataligo on Sunday t morning at i o'clock, and Beaufort on Saturday afternoon, at two o'clook, informs us that there o appeared no signs of the enemy's advance on Beau - fort up to the hour of his leaving the latter place. No information had been received at Pocataligo r of the destruction or oecupation of the town up to I Sunday morning. The rumor, therefore, of its being shelled by the enemy seems to be without foundation. The Rutledge Mounted Riflemen 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 a detach ment of the St. Helena Mounted'Riflemen on their way to Beaufort. Couriers are continually pass. ing between Beaufort and Pocataligo. Several of tie Planters on the Island in the vicinity of Hil 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 at Po eataligo all safe. Col. Clingman's North Carolina Regiment had also arrived at Coosahatchie. Several of the men reported as missing in Col. .DoSaussure's Regiment, it appears were taken on board the steamer llunetre4 by Captain Morris, who kindly offered to take them to Charleston and arrived hero yesterday. Their names are. J. J. Burrows, A. B. Gaskin, J. J. Gaskin. F.A. Cooper, S. Maddox. J. P. Carter, Robert Mason, J. F. Eddy, W. S. Eddy, H. Buckles, J. 0. Hudson and one unknown too sick to tell his name. He has been kindly cared for and sent to the Hospital. Port Royal. The Savannah. papers 'of Sat'irday afternoon give a few additional particulars of the fight at Port Royal, which we append: " Col. Wi. H. Styles' Volunteers Teorgia Regi mentreached the scene of action ahout one r'ecwk, having marched from Skidawny, seven and a half miles distant, at the double quick. But they were unable to fire on the fleet, which was nut of the range of their guns. The regiment hail several killed and wunde'l by shells from the fleet. Our informant states that Col. Styles had two horses shot under him, and in the fall of one of them received a slight injury in the shoulder. Between 11 and 12 o'clock, twelve vessels en gagel the Forts, five of them first class steam firigates, the other seven were gecond class steam ers, with a tug leading. 'l he tug opened fire on our infantry stationed some distance from the beach. One of the-frigates, the Minne stoa, at a distance of two miles, also threw shot and shell at the infantry. Our informant assures us that seven Dahlgreen guns, from one of the frigates, fired many shots on the hospital cointaining our wounded, hitting the building several times, notwithstanding the yel low flag was flying. The Surgeons were compelled by this barbarous act, to have our wrounded moved further into the interior. The Minnesota is reported to have been on fire three times from hot shot thrown from the batte ries. Capt. Spaulding's regiment lost all its baggage, blankets, &c., but saved all their arms. Of Col. DeSaussure's regiment, stationed at Fort Walker, four were killed at the batteries and 20 wounded. The killed were covered with blankets and left. The wounded were all placed on board of steain ers, and will arrive in Savannah to-day. The abandoned batteries were taken possession of bcy the enenty and the U. States flag waved over thom ias our troops retired. Several caf the, Fedleral frigates were steel-elad. and cur bam1 lhad. no etteet upon them whatever; while some -, their shcets teook effect at the dlis lance of three tmiles. The island is said to be compljeetely ploedec up bcy their halls, and it is a miracle that anay of our tmen escaped alive. F-emn th.~: ,u&tcnnahc'c len~cuan, Oth, icct~.

Ste Xta..r.ad. is the .development of a preconcorted plan, to prevent or delay the arrival of succors to the cotton State. Occurring,'as these villainies dill simultaneoussly with the attack on the coast, it is impossible to doubt that there are accomplicca 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 dortakon to perpetrate." In Doubt. The Charleston Mercury of Monday says at the head of its news column: - We have not a word of authentic news from Beaufort. The report came over the wires yester day, that the place had been bombarded and burned. Later in the day, we heard that the 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 correspon dents have sent us no dispitchos of late, so that we must.be content to watch and wait. Skirmish in Tennessee. Ractuxoxso, VA., Nov. 11.-A skirmish occurred on Sunday night ltst, about fifteen miles from iJrjstol, on the East Tennessee Railroad, between a party of Confederate scouts and a body of Union ists. Two of the latter were killed, and nine ti ken prisoners. The Unionists are said to be loca ted at two points, numbering, at both, about >00 men, with prospects of being reinforced to the number of 3,000 men. Rather stirring and exterinating times are ex pected in that neighborhood. Allfaius in Arkansas..
