Speaking of the coast, there is alikelihool that we will soon have an inviucible army in the loeali ty throutened by the Yanks. Be..ide the troops that are sent thither by the Confederate Gloverrrmefnt, many oempanies of volunteers from the interior are hastening to the rescue.

It is at serious draught upon our oiliet, but ire du nut mean to protest the demuand of our country iwhile there is a shot in the locker. It is a matter (if coutetence to many citizens, espe ially to the families of'our brave soldiers, that the Adrrrie'r should be kept going: and it is of very great eoneeru to our privnte interests that it should nt he stopped. Yet is it also of infinitely greiter m.ment to its aill, that there ie noo falter. ing in any single family or firm of the District, whtn calls are itade fer protectioan ahi.tl defenee. We therefore cheerfully :equi.:ece in the deterini. uation of our active partner to take the field, and shall endeavor to do the best we can for our read. era until such time as the storm may pass and sunshine come again. And should storm till gather upon storm, is full well it may from present uppearances, we who are left shall strive to do oiu ilcie duty here orelsewhere.

Look to small etvils in lm, if yan .uhAtavoid graat anse - News of the Week. Among the items of news which may he found in our present issue, it will be seen that the plan ters upon the island's are adopting the course of { burning all they cannot save from the threatened invasion. The deep spirit of enmity and high resolve thus mnanifested, eandot fail to produee a marked effect at once, both at home and abroad. It would appear that an advance by MCCLL t.As is still expected, on both sides, before the United States Congress meets, which will be on the firat of next month. The news frome England is unfavorable to an interpositiou eta the part of that government in our favor. See intelligence from Nashville, pur porting to have been received by a late steamer. Some think this is but upper-deck talk for the marines; the sailors may or may not believe it as they list. Whatever the truth may be,. is it not better to squelch at once this long Indulged expec tation of help from England and Frapie, and to act as though it would never come. Cotton was to have opened'our 'ports by the 1St of November, or, at the least, to-have obtained'he recognition of l-our independence; But neither event has yet oc curred. It will probably turn out that Poader, and not uuon, is to be the mighty King of our safety. The Fe(eral triumph at Port Royal, it will be seen, has caused great rejoicings at the North. The magnificent Yankee nation is. wonderfully uplifted at the idea thatfour hundred of their best guns could, and really diJ, silence some forty Confederate pieces of inferior calibre. Tremen dous achievement ! The world may next expect to'see them meet u's in fair battle with'no greater odds than two- to one. We trust the affair at Port Itoyal will serve to stimulate them up to this point of heroism ;-it will then- hat'e done us as much good as a victory. For the cery latea, turn to our express news coltimu. The startling announcement of the .apture of. Messrs. Sr.tnt.Lr. and Msox, and their Secreta ries, will be received with varying reflections. The uppermost one is, will or will not Great Bri tain vindicate the heretofore stringently-main tained prerogatives of her flag and domain ? Ify the way, one of the dispatches states that the "ladies of the party proceeded on their voy age to Europe." ______ Fire in Graniteville. On Saturday 9th inst., Mr. RAsox Dunsv's shop, together with all his implements and some wagons nearly complete, was destroyed by Are. A house belonging to Mr. B. C. HAnn, was con sumed at the same time. The fire originated from a slnrk in a auan:i:y of fodder stowed away near the shop. We sytupathize with the sufferers, and hope that future good luck may make them forget all their losses. E. K'. Necessity of Discipline. In the diminished condition 'if our male popu. lation in and about this village, there Is an imps Sriuns necessity for vigilance and discipline in our domestic matters; and the same remark will ap ply to almost every naighlborhooad in the district. We earnestly suggest that the Vigilance As.;ocia tions have work before thetm, which it is important should be faithfully attended to, for the next two months at least. It is cotaparatively an idle time on the plantations, and as the Christmas holidays approach there is always ia natural inclination to m loose conduct in a certain class of our population. It is surely the part of wisdom, in the present emergency, to take care in due time that every thing of the sort he entirely prevented; And to this end, it would he well to reorganize patro!ls at once in every direction. It would be well fur thermuore for planters to adopt some stringent agreemuent in respect to the extent of privileges they may grant their aaegroes for some time to come ; And we would particulaarly urge the Town Council of this paIce tn la:..k into this business aat nce and to ad.,pt, ad e:ry into effect, such an ozadinance as may tfay mieet the disorders and dangers of the season.
