A provision wagon left Tank's Station on April23d,
Edward Donnelly and 1'atrick Donagliue iu charge,
to get a load of flour at the Sail Ciuioue Station Tney
started on their return, but never reached the Tanks.
The next day two express men, Messrs. Feign aud
O’Brien, left the Tanks westward bound, and never
readied the San Cimone Station, and have not since
been heard wf. On the 27th a coach left the Tanks
forthe \Ve.-t. in which were five peisons—Mr. J. J.
(liddings, Sifpeiintend. nt of tiie San Antonio and San

Anthony Aldar. Samuel Neely and Mr. Buggy, em
ployees of the Overland Mail Company. Two • f the

Station badly bruised, and had evidently been iu a
severe struggle This circumsai.ee amused the suspi
cions «»f all, and mir informant went the next day to
Fort M cLanc and applied tor ai escort of troop* to in

were despatched, who on Monday, near Stein's Peak,

about datk. They found scattered along the ravine

Ac. The roof of the station (widen was some time
since abandoned) had been burnt, the coral wall had
been thrown down, and the Indians had formed a

[Special Despatch to the Charleston Concur j
Richmond, June 11. -Private letters just received
the war for fifty years, if necessary, was fully
shown. On the contrary, the certain bankrupt
cy of the N’ortii in a short time was conclusive
ly ueinoustrat. d. His chief object iu visiting us
was, as he stated, to procure a loan for the gov
ernment. not of money, but of cotton from the
crops now growing—with one million bales t f
cotton at its disposal, he considered the new gov
ernment cettaiu of success—certain of lecogni-
tion. and certain to be relieved of the infamous
blockade.
Before Mr. Stephens had concluded, the cries
for “the subscription,” from various parts of the
house, compelled him to stop, and begin tbe work
of taking down the names of the planters ami
their respective Ians. In about half an hour, 5j,-
• Uitl bales of cotton were subscribed by the persons
present. G-n B. W Heard and Col L M. Hall,
were the largest subscribers—the former subscrib
ing doti bales, and tbe latter $2fi0,(Hi0 in cash.
One of our meicbatits. Mr. Coz irt, subscribed 10 -
bales of cotton, remarking, “he could buy them if
he could not raise them.'’
The chairman of the meeting. Judge Andrews,
then appointed some of the most intelligent and
thoroiign gowing citizens to canvass the county,
and fini-h the wink so gloriously begun We feel
confident that we will raise2.1 too bales more.

“Son'll," the Washington correspondent of
a Richmond paper, communicates the follow
ing :
“While standing in Willard's Hotel, last night,
a small party of men gathered near me, and en
gaging in earnest conversation, I heard one of
them say to another, “Jeff Davis, the rebel lead
er, is soon to be cared for.” I have just seen
with my own eyes tbe gentleman who has sworn
to take Ins life at any cost, and lid will do it —
His plan is to get a letter of introduction from
some leading secessionist here to Jeff Davis;
t ti-n to visit bimat bis rooms in your city, and
ask for a private friendly interview, and then
tmdei the guise of friendship, to plunge a dagger
to his heart, regardless of the consequences ! —
That there is a pian ou foot here for the murder
of the Southern President I have not the shadow
of a doubt.”
important,aud should be as rigorously discharged
as those who are engaged in the military service
ot the Government, it behooves every good
citizen to protect the Confederacy fiom the effect
of treason of hundreds of wretches who are per
petually giving aid and comfort to the eneiny
Wherevet th re is evidence of treason, informa
tion against the offender should beat once lodged
with the Confederate States District Attorneys.
Treason against the. Confederate States is com
mitted by every one owing allegiance to those
States, who shall levy war against them, or shall
adhere to their enemies, giving them aid aud com
fort. If any person, having knowledge ot the
coiiitiii'Sion of any act of treason, shat! conceal
or tail to disclose the same, such person is himself
guilty of misprison of treason, and liable to im
prisonment for seven years and a fine ot one thou
sand dollars
If any person, without the permission or an-
thority ot the Government of the Confederate
States, sh ill. directly or indirectly, commence or
carry ou any verbal or written correspondence
with our-enemies, with the design of furnishing
them with information by which to deteat tit
measures of onr own Government, he commits a
misdemeanor; which is punishable by tine aud im
prisonment.
It is the duty of every loyal citizen to see that
no violation of these laws shall go unpunished.
Die hunting down and arrest of every man who
gives aid and comfort to the enemy, is a patriotic
duty which every one should seek to perform with
the utmost zeal.
We have rea-on to believe lhat, in every sec
tion, there are wretches who should be brought
tojtistice as speedily as po-sible During times
like these, the District Courts of 'he Confederate
8tates should act wi It such promptness and de
cision as to strike, terror into every sku.king
traitor in tiie land.

Vice President Stephens made a speech to -the
people of Wilkes county, at Washington, on tbi
8th ins'., which is one of the grandest produe
tions of -modern times. We will pub'ish it nex
week. We cannot resist copying, at this time, tin
following noble sentiment. Speaking of tin
volunteers he said :
“In offering themselves voluntarily to fight i»-
battle, they tnak-- the highest and noblest offerin
man can make Of all tho virtues none is purer, ho-
Her, loftier or so ' mdlike as that which prompts a
matt to offer up himself, bis life, bis home and hi'
aff. as a sacrifice upon bis country's altar. It is th-
embodiment of all others. Truth, honor, fidelity
integrity, filial affection, parental devotion, do
mestic attachments, ties to home and the hearth
stone, and all the ennobling sen’iments that dig
nify man, would have no existence without i
country. Those institutions which foster them
in which they geminate, grow and bring the rich
est fruits, all depend upon that, disinterested patri
otistn which animates the volunteer’s breast.—
8uch men must be, and will be, sustained
The tight at Brent Betlici Church.
Full and reliable particulars of this fight in Vir
ginia, between Federal and Confederate troops
have been received. The victory is even mon
u-lorions for our troops th n at first supposed
There were on our side 1100 men, on tbe Federal’*
4off0. We lost one man killed and two or thrr.
wounded; en the enemy's side between 200 ate
15 10 were killed and wounded. The battle fieb
was covered with ibp bodies of the dead Yankees
Ut'dpr a flag of trnce tbe enemy were permittc
to hnrv their dead. This is one nf the mos
wondeiful battles on record. The hand of Go<
is as plainly seen in this fight, as in the menior;*-

TIIE CAPTURE OF THE PRIVA
TEER SAVANNAH.
Almost every Jay now brings us news of
importance. Monday brought us tbe in
telligence of tiie capture of tiie privateer
Savannah, from this port. The loss of tiie
schooner in times like these, would scarcely
call for a moment’s consideration. But
the circumstances are such as to renderthe
fact one of gra'-e import—perchance the
results may he still graver. With tlie in
sane anil bloody-thiisty spirit ruling the
Government of the N mth, there ate prob
abilities that the crew of the Sar amah
will he executed. The United stares
Government have said it—.lie popular
clamor lias approved the bloody declara
tion. Will their bloated vanity and ma
lice give way to the milder voice of nation
al law—of reason and discietion? Will
they not go on in their mad pathway ol
violence and lawlessness? Tlicir*course
up to this time has been uniform. VVill
they at this day pay regard to reason,
justice or law? ]l they do not what then ?
A) e! what then?
Let one of these men perish, and we
look to the authorities at Richmond for
immediate and bloody retribution. We
look to them, and we shall expect them
to settle a strict account of blood for blood
li a hair of the head of a single man of
this crew is injured, Bouth Carolina will
demand that the outrage he atoned for—
an eye lor an eye—a tooth for a tooth—a
life for a life. Aye! and she will hare it—no
more and no less: on the battle field and
after the battle. Let one of these, her
citizens commissioned in her cause, perish
as a pirate, aud woe to the enemy wh“ falls
into our hands. Humanity and justice,
no less than the cause itself will compel
to prompt and ample retribution; and the
sooner tlris is understood, the better for
