The news from the Coast. --The reported landing in force of the Yankees on Seabrook's and John's Island is not confirmed by our latest Southern advices.

Their pickets were attacked by a party of seven of our men, and driven back, with the loss of one Yankee taken prisoner and two others reported killed, with no loss on our side. The enemy have not attempted a landing on John's Island, and many of the rumors brought by passengers Monday afternoon have since bee reported killed, with no loss on our side. The enemy have not attempted a landing on John's Island, and many of the rumors brought by passengers Monday afternoon have since been officially contradicted.

ire whether the rebellion was caused by slavery or abolitionism, by ambition or interference with State rights.

d nights a very large and formidable battery has been erected by the enemy on Folly Island to bear upon the southern portion of Morris Island, and in full view of Fort Sumter the Yankee sentinel is seen steadily pacing to and fro on his post. An entrenched camp has been made lower down on Folly Island, and unmistakable preparations are evidently progressing. The abandonment of Cole's Island spring before last, and the difficulties of access on our part, enable the foe to proceed. At Seabrook's Island, North Edisto, there are also indications of earnest efforts to make a safe basis. A force of several regiments has been and is now at work, while five iron-clad gunboats and a number of transports lie in the stream. Some seventy transports are still waiting in Broad river, and the outposts of the enemy in Gen. Walker's District have recently been doubled in strength. In view of these appearances it becomes us to prepare vigorously to resist another demonstration before the heat

nder the command of Capt. Conrad. In order to make all boys of that age bear a portion of the military burthens, squads were appointed from time to time to pick up those who skulked and force them into line. Yesterday morning Captain Conrad rent out a squad, as usual, and when they arrived at the depot they halted for a breathing spell. Whilst waiting young Poythress loaded his masked, and in attempting to put the butt of it on the ground, the hammer struck the edge of the platform, causing the cap to explode and the gun to fire, the ball passing through his own head and wounding him morally. He was immediately conveyed to Seabrook's warehouse hospital, where every attention was given him. The accident caused a gloom to spread over the rest of the company, for young Poythress was a favorite with his companions, and was cheerful and intelligent. Let his fate be a warning to all who handle fire-arms, and especially so to the hundreds of youths now entering into military companies.

knife, and advancing to the counter pushed Wiley back and said he could whip W. Wiley told him "all right," and learning that Carroll had a knife walked out of doors, followed by Taylor. They had been in the street but a few seconds when Carroll went out, and approaching Wiley cut at him. Wiley then knocked C. down, and walked into the house. As Taylor started in Carroll cut him severely in the left shoulder, inflicting an ugly and dangerous wound. Carroll then went to the Libby prison, and, with his knife in his hand, made his brags that he had just cut and killed two or three men with it. As soon as Mrs. Rick saw that Taylor was stabbed she sent for Dr. Sherrard, who dressed the wound and had the patient sent to Seabrook's warehouse, from which point he was carried to Chimborazo Hospital, where he is now lying very ill. Carroll was arrested during the evening by Capt. Pleasants, of the night watch, and after his examination yesterday was committed to jail for a further hearing.
