This report, we have reason to believe, is premature, though that the exigency of the situation in South Carolina may, at some future time, demand its evacuation, is among the possibilities. A report, believed to be authentic, reached here Saturday night that the enemy's infantry had succeeded in crossing the Edis to river above Branchville, and had struck the Columbia branch railroad eight miles south of Orangeburg — a point twenty miles above Branchville. If this be true, our troops have already abandoned Branchville and fallen back to Columbia, or, at least, behind the Santee river. The Santee will form a very strong and easily-defended line, having a swampy margin and its passage being very difficult.--Columbia is situated on the right bank of this river, about one hundred and twenty miles from its mouth. From Columbia, the Santee flows in a southeast direction, and empties into the Atlantic some fifty-odd miles north of Charleston.
