The largest estimate I have heard made of their force is ' five thousand, the smallest is four companies ; and the truth seen to lie between three hundred "and five thousand. The number is unimportant; because, while i' they hold the village at all, they can throw j' their whole force in whenever desirable.? j. Our cavalry have visited Port Royal Island I (upon which the town of Beaufort is) on' two occasions since its occupation by the enenty, and have put the torch to almost the last lot of cotton, rice and corn on that . ! island. The last visit of this kind, under Col. W. E. Martin, occurred on the 6th instant, I he party remaining uO the islaud j twenty four hours. The headquarters of General Sherman isj at Hilton Head Island. His forces?va | riously estin.atrc! at from ten thousand toj forty thousand?occupy that island, and! Beaufort, on Pott R.?yal Island; and from' these tw.. centres their marauding partiesj move, always with extreme caution, about j the adjacent island. A reported landing] of the enemy at Port Royal Ferry, on the: 9th instant, induced an immediate concentration of three of our regiments at that j point. No landing, however, was attempt- j ed, and Col. Edwards resumed his fortnerj position at Coosawhatchie, Col. Dunovantj taking position nearGardner's Corner. Brig Gen. Peinbercon is now in corn ; mand of this military district, Brig. Gen. j Drayton being in command of the district! south of us, and Brig. Gen. Ripley of the! district north of us, including Charleston.! Geu. Lee is in command of the whole, his headquarters beiDg still here Brig Gen. Pernborton is for the present also here. The enemy are in occupation of Tybee Island, at the mouth of the Savannah, and are busy making ready for something ; what that something is to be the future must show us. Within the last day cr two a good deal of activity has been pervading our defensive r.rrny, as well as our enemy upon the islaud, and stirring events may be confident ly expected within three days. The land ing of the enemy at Port Royal Ferry, just north of Port Royal Islaod, upon the main laod, is a matter rendered more than likely by couiiog events, whose shadows arc al > ready around us. Trie conflagration in Charleston glares up id our meDtal horizon as a siogularly signifi cant fact, but you have access to the details, better than we. D. j Coosawhatchie, 1 '6th Decern let. From the Columbia Carolinian. A Call for Prayer. The afflicting hand of an angry God if now being laid most heavily npon us. The clouds which have so long overspread om sky, instead of being dispelled, seem to be growiog darker and darker, and ever and anon a fearful storm bursts upon us. Manj of our homes have for months been render ed desolate by the absence of those whc went forth to fight the battles of their oountry?alas! too many never return again. A powerful and vigilant enemy is uow threatening us on every side. Already his unhallowed feet have been placed upon our sacred soil, and he is robbing oui houses and making bare our fields. And in the midst of all this, while struggling against such great and innumerable difficulties, the devouring fame is sent upon the metropolis of our State, and thousands oi our fellow-countrymen are bereft of their houses and property. Surely, if ever a people were called upon to "humble them selves under the mighty hand of God," to forsake their evil ways and turn unto the Lord?to pray earnestly and "without ceasing"?it is this people of South Carolina. As a Christian people?a people acknowledging an over-ruling Providence?we are most imperatively called upoo to 1 ft up a loud and wailing cry unto Him who is the God of cations and the disposer of human events. Id view of these circumstances, Mr. Editor, as an humble citizen of this commonwealth and a member of this community, 1 beg leave, through the columns of your pa per, to suggest that the Christian people of Columbia adopt the plao which has been resorted to - in other cities?that at every day, at one o'clock, the city bell be sounded three times as a sigoal for priva e prayer.? [nthis way, all are reminded of this solemn duty which most certainly devolves upon us. And since it is united supplication which God has most specially promised to aoswer, thus a mighty volume of prayer would dai ascend, we trust as the savor of sweet incense, before the throne of the Majesty on high. I hope the suggestion will meet with the approval of the oommunity. Let us not be alow to do all in our power to avert these calamities which are falling upon us. L. Latest from the West. Nashville, December 14.?The members of the Kentucky Legislature had a caucus previous to the electiou of a United States Senator, and the vote stood as fol lows: Garrett Davis, 46; Josbu F. Bell, 45.

Sedalia, Mo., advices to the 7th inst., *ays that ten uiole teams, while on a fora stiug expedition near that place, were seized by a party of rebels and the teamsters taken prisoners. Boston news to the 7th, received here, conveys the information that two officers and two hundred prisoners of the North Caro lina Regiment will be sent next week to Fortress Monroe from Fort Warren, and released on their parole. Memphis, December 14 ?Three thousand of the enemy from Paducah marched into Vienna on Thursday last, burning dwellings and a number of fine residences aud then returned, not daring to come on nod attack Camp Beauregard. At Columbus all is quiet Gen. Jeff. Thompson's last exploit was in surrounding a party of the enemy guarding the bridge between Charleston and Bird's Point, kiiling four and capturing two Another Confederate Victory in Va. Richmond, December 14.?Official in telligence has been received here that the Federals, five thousand strong, attacked Col. Edwara Johnston's command on Val ley Mouutain, on the 13th, but were repulsed, with great loss, after an engagement of seven hours. The battle commenced at 7 o'clock in the forenoon. John ston's force was twelve hundred, but has since been reinforced by two regimeDts.? Johoston is a Virginian, and a graduate of West Point, but commands the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. Arrival of a Tennessee Regiment. ?The 8th Tennessee Regiment, (or rath cr seven companies of it.) Col. Fulton, arrived in this city, yesterday morning, about Z o'clock, and lerc ror oourn i;aro Una about noon. The regiment is a very 5ne one, and the men fully come up to our idea of bravo Tcnnessoe boys. They are principally from the central portion of the State. For a while they were under the command of Gen. Floyd, were ordered thence to Bowling Green, Ky., but this order was subsequently countermanded and their destination charged to South Caroli na. They are well armed aod equipped, and ready for active service. ?Petersburg Express. Tho Defences of the State. An impression seems to exist with many persons that our State authorities have control of the defences of the State. This is a mistake. The whole care of aod for the defences of the State is in the hands of the Confederate Government since last spring, and we know and are authorized to state that all the troops in the State are subject to the orders of Gen Lee, the command ing General of this department. There is no rcgimeDt or company od service in the State but what is UDder General Lee's or ders or have been ordered to report to him Our State authorities may make suggestions, but have no power or control in the matter. It is due to them that this be prop erly understood.? Columbia Carolinian, 11 th inst. Jeff. Thompson Turns up Again.? This indefatigable patriot is never idle, and whenever we hear from him, we find that his energies have been successful in advan cing the cause of the South. From the Confederate flexes of Columbus, Ky., Dec 4, we take the following paragraph : A few days since Gen Thompson, by a stratagem captured the steamer Empress, on her trip from St. Louis to Cairo. Jeff ODly got 400 cavalry horses and some other valuables, took the crew prisoners, aod set fire to and burned the boat. This infor mution we derive from a gentleman from the other side of the river, and whoknoics. )9*A detachment of the new stone fleet composed of six ships aad one bark, left New Bedford ou the 9th instant, for a Southern port. Interesting from Mexico.?We take the following paragraph from a letter dated i City of Mexico, October 29, and published i in the New York Hearld: r Strange whispers are on the air that the j agent of the Confederate States, learning the I proposed disembarkation of troops at Guayr mas, offered $2,000,000 to this Government for the use of the port of Matamoras; ) all of which being reported to the Legation, the American Minister held out a | counter offer of S6,000,000, and that, in r great disgust at the discovery that the > Mexioan Cabinet has only been playing 1 i with his eagerness to extort a higher bid ' from him, Mr. Corwin talks of going home ' [ in November. He will carry with him ' such treaties or conventions, for ratification ' at Washington, as the alarm of the Government shall suffer to remain intact. Startled ' at the fact that Col. Pickett has denoun- 1 ? t ,?_ oetl as an act or nosunty to me reueio j.uc license to pass United States troops through i MexioaD territory to invade Arizona and i Texas, these people?Cabinet, Congress : und all?are eager to ando their work, and ' absolutely deny the oelebration of any trea- ' ty or contract for the sale of lands. < ? / , The Position of Utah?Beigham Young's Prophesy.?"Ion," the special , Washington correspondent of the Baltimore i Sun, dated November 29, says : Utah haa substantially declared her in- i dependence as a state, and has taken the i position of strict neutrality between the < South and the North in the present contest. But it appears^that the delegate from that | Territory will resume his seat in the Fed- ' eral House of Representatives at the com- 1 ing session. A statement from him as to ' the peonliar attitude and policy of Utah will necessarily be elicited. Meanwhile, j however, I learn that Brigbam Young, as 1 autocrat of the Mormons, has more thoroughly than ever obtained tho confidence of his people by the fulfilment of his remark- ( able and often-repeated prophesy of the J dissolution of the Union. Not a single U States soldier now remains in Utah, and the travel across the plaius is much diminished 1! There is do trouble whatever between the I' Mormons aDd the citizens of the States.? The national electric telegraph passes through the territory, and it ia a matter of boast with Brighara that it is scrupulously protected from injury. Siege of Matamoras. New Orleans, December 13.?The Brownsville Flag, of the 28th ult., has been received here, bringing the latest intelligence of the siege of Matamoras. The Flag says the siege commenced on J the 20th and still continued. Several des- j perate engagements had taken place in the ( city, iD every one of which Garcia, at the ( head of the Crioolinos, in town, seemed to have had the advantage of Caravajal, who leads the Rojos. The besiegers ou the 26th ult., at the j instance of the French Consul, granted a ( flag of truce of twenty-four hours, in order ( to allow foreigners to move themselves aod ( their property. Very little was saved, however, the streets being obstructed by | barricades. . Ten large stores filled with costly goods, ( had already been destroyed. Several foreigners and non-combatant3 were killed ? The contest was renewed fiercely on the 27th, and a terrificfiring kept up that night j j Caravajal sends his wounded to Browns- < ville , ? ? j Important News. ( The Norfolk Day Book, of the 13th, ( received a copy of the New York Herald, j of the day before, which states that a panic | hue occurred in Wall street, from the Secretary of the Treasury having, in bis re- i port, called for an additional six hundred < ! millions (5600,000,000) of dollars, and es- < timating that, if the war lasts till July, J j 1863, he will waut one thousand millions ! ' j It is rumored in New York that Gen.

I The indications are again very strong of t | an early engagement at Manassas and other ( j points on the Potomac, and also on the i | Peninsula. 1 i Col. Maxcy Gregg has been promoted to ] a Brigadier-General Ship, and ordered to j report to Gen. Lee. He proceeds imme jdiately. * Richmond, December 16.?In Congress ' j to-day, Henry C. Burnett aod Judge Mori 1 | roe were sworn in members from Kentucky. ' | A large number of military appointments ) j were confirmed and will be published in tbe 1 J Army Register. ( Nothing from the camps. ^ Washington, December 9 ?Tbe Gov t j ernment have decided to release as many ? j rebel prisoners of war as they will release ? I of ours. All those in Boston have been ! given permission to go to Richmond on the 1 j condition that they do not take up arms a- i i gaiust this Government, unless duly ex ' ! changed or released, and the same thing ' ' will be done with all the prisoners of war 1 j we now hold, but not to include the State 1 | prisoners, or those taken in the North j so * J persons haviog friends in "Secesb," who * i have been taken prisoner, can soon see ' | them back, if the rebels will accede to this 1 ! mode. Several companies of Regulars (Infantry land Cavalry) surrendered to the rebels in I | New Mexico, and released oo parole, will ! be sent to garrison forts along the frontiers, where they can go on duty without violation of their parole. ' ' - ? - - ?

EIon. Chas Jas. Faulkner Relea-i c bed.?From the New York correspondence1 c of the Philadelphia Inquirer, dated Deoember 10, we take the following paragraph: Mr. Charles Faulkner, ex-Minister to France, who, as yon know, has been enjoying some weeks of elegant leisure at a certain fashionable watering plaoe called Fort Warren, kept by one Unole Sam, turned up in town to day on parole. He is en < route for Dixie's Land, in exchange for Hon. Mr. Ely, of Rochester, so the story goes. i A Marylaed Reoimnt Deserting Lincoln.?We reoeived intelligence through an officer attaohed to Gen. Clark's staff, ; who arrived here last night by the Orange and Alexandria train from Centreville, that , an entire Maryland regiment had deserted Lincoln's army, bringing with them their arms and equipments. The particulars of the desertion were these : The regiment was sent out on picket from Alexandria, and when they reached the front of onr lines they hoisted the Confederate flag and i marched into Centreville. They were accompanied by their Colonel and all the officers of the regiment.?Lynchburg Vit- ; ninian. December 12. |i 7 / lttl) i Parson Bronlow.?A dispatch from Knoxville to the Louisville Courier says the notorious Wm. G. Browulow has been arrested and imprisoned to wait his trial for treason. Brownlow is ambitious of being made a martyr, and has done every thing he well could to provoke this result. He should be tried, and bung, if found guilty. This is a country where freedom of speech and opinion is guarantied, but when a man abuse * legal right, and prostitutes it by stirring up rebellion and making war npon his Government, it is perfectly just and consistent that be be punished for the act.

Ct 4L for Indemnity.?The people or me ooum will be glad to learn that the Court of Commissioners to determine olaims for indemnity for losses by the war, to be paid out of the sequestration fund, is to be arranged at once. The following appointments, as commissioners to compose the court, have been made by the President and confirmed by the vote of Congress in secret session : 1 Ceo P. Scarborough, of Virginia; Thos. i D. Reynolds, of Missouri; and Walker Brooke, of Mississippi. An Example of Liberality.?We learn that the Central Railroad Bank and the Planter's Bank, of this city, have each contributed 31,000 for the relief of the sufferers in Charleston. The loan of 810,000 to the city, offered by the Merchants' and Planters' Bank and the Bank of Commorce, was made for twelve months without interest. Savantifrh Republican. < ?? ?? Important.?D. F. Ferebee,Esq., who has just returned from a mission to the Confederate Government, on which he was jent by the Convention, reports among other thing, (says the Raleigh Rtgriter,") that Secretary Memminger expressed a decided opinion that the blockade would be raised n thirty days.

Davis," lately wrecked i )ff the harbor of St. Augustine, and than , whom no one more obnoxious to the Yan- 1 tee nation is to be found in the Southern Confederacy. The Lincolnites would consider the capture of a man who had dealt tuch terrible blows at their commeroe as heap, even at the risk of a war with Engand, and the knowledge of his escape will jrobably dampen the even jubilaot joy which they have manifested over the seizure )f our commissioners. There were several other Southern gen;lemen of influenoe on board the Trent, all )f whom are, we hope, now safely landed n Eogland, and engaged in maturing plans for discomfiture of Yankee malioe. < Richmond Enquirer. Arrest op a Mail Robber.-?We learn ] hat Mr. D. P Blair, special agent to the * Post-Office Department of the Confederate c States, who has been endeavoring for some i irae past to find out the parties who have 1 jeen robbing the mails, has, through his < ndefatigable energy and perseverance, sue- r seeded in arresting the guilty person. t The name of the felon is J. P. Ely.? 1 Be is a cousin of Senator Ely, of Roches- 11 er, New York, who was captured by our rallant troops at Manassas and is now a pris- li >ner at Richmond. v This fellow Ely was a stage driver of the jj nails, and from suspicion of him, Mr. Blair put several decoy letters into the mail, v which, not being uccounted for, he arrested p lim at Oxford, Mississippi, and found the Dissing letters in his pocket. Mr. B. imnediately put him in irons, placed him in- . tide of the stage and drove it himself to Ckalona, a distance of sixty miles, where le delivered him to the proper authorities, who sent him to jail to await his trial. Too much praiRe cannot bo awarded to < Mr. Blair for the vigilance and tact he diB-l" jlayed in ferreting out the robbery. Mobile Tribune.
