Port Royal Ferry on the north side is to our army of the coast what Mason's and Munson's hills were last September to the advanced guards of the army of the Potomac. At both points the hostile pickets have frequently spoken to each other. Here is a specimen of a recent conversation at the Ferry: Yankee.--Halloo, over there. Southron.--Halloo yourself.

From the South. Our Southern exchanges furnish us with the following interesting information: The war on the Sea-coast — latest accounts from below. From the Charleston Mercury, of the 8th inst., we extract the following: Up to a late hour yesterday evening, all was quiet at the various military posts along the sea- coast. The enemy have threatened to burn every house and outbuilding they find deserted, and have already begun their work of vandalism, having applied the torch to the fine residences of Mr. Adams, Mr. Chaplin, and Mr. Wm.
