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.

A Lieutenant and sixteen men were despatched, who on Monday, near Stein's Peak, met a train of \V. S.

They found scattered along the ravine newspapers and other mail matter, pieces of harness, 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 breast work of it aronnd the spring. Near [the sta tion the bodies of two men were found, tied by the i feet to trees, their heads reaching within IS inches of ] the ground, their arms extended and fastened to the J pickets, and the evidence of a slow fire under their heads.

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.

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 all parties to the war.
