Correspondence CT the st. Louis Republican
SANTA FE, July %, 1861-On the 18th it,
slant our southern stage was attacked by
Apaches On its downward trip, while in camp
at VaiveTde. The driver, Jacob BingeIman,
was killed, and Joseph Girrold, conductor, and
OIgin and son, TancheTos, wounded. The for
mer, 1t is supposed, rnorta!ly.
The mules Belonging to the stage company
were saved, notwithstanding nineteen head Of
horses and two hundred cattle were taken
from the same enclosure. The cattle were
subsequently recovered. Indian depredatisns
are altogether too frequent here. Scarce a
day passes but we hear, and sometimes see
evidences of their unwelcome visits, and soon
as they understand that the whites are at war
among themselves, we shall have a hot time.
Like Falstaf's ~ragamutins 1T the battle Of
Shrewsbury, we are in a position to be pep
Psred.
Lively times are expected 10 the Valley of
the Mesilla. The Kcrth and South, from pres
ent indications, intend trying their strength
there. All our dispossble troops are either
there or on the way, AID the Texans are eX-
ertibg themselves to the utmost to bring into
the field at that point a corresponding force.
That there sill soon be a collision there, 10
one seems to doubt.

ability, but it IS somewhat doubtful whether

The EneaHpment at Union City,
Cens Clark.


The 14.h and 18Th Mississippi regiments
comprise a part Of the force at Union City.
A correspondent Of tue New Orleans Delta
writes from that place, under recent date, as
folIows:
Il is a prevalent opinion here, and il is said
10 be that of the Cairo commandsnt, that the
neigbborhood Of UDion City is likely 10 be the
scene Of the second Manassas. Gen. Clark
OF Mississippi, brigadier-geDersl OF the Con
federate army, is our commander at Union
City, and is an exceedingly discreet, brave and
efficient officer. The soldiers and citizens
have unbounded confidence in his ability,
There is 10 doubt hat his position was some
what vulnerable to attack from Fremont'a
army last week, owing 10 the diversion Of oui
forces at New Madrid, and | an inclined t.
think that Gen. Clark is fully sensible Of thi
exposed condition OF bis forces. Had Fremont
been aware Of this be would no doubt have
advanced, but | do not believe he could haYi
reached the rear Of Memphis.
have taken some plans to inquire, ard
find that thsre are great reserve resources il
the country-farmers by hundr eds, provided
every man Of them, with his hunting piece;
trusty rifle or shot gun, though but few pistols
except in the hands of the ladies. ] hear 0
many Of the citizens OF the country, and Of thi
town, VITO have provided every female membe
Of their families with reyolvers, and but few
| can assure you,a T wanting the nerve to u.s.
them.
The energy of Gen. Clark has lately prove
| quite e%ffectual, l think, in stopping the danger
Gus espionage which had been so successful,
practiced, and thus no doubt has be preventeI
the exposed nature of bis camp being know
to the enemy. His efficiency, l imagine, hs
pretty well removed any great danger at tn
present, as he will now be reinforced, no doubt
TO the desired extent, before the enemy i
/ aware and offer him battle.

Financial storm, predicted.

The New York Rerald, Of Wednesday, in an
editorial upon the baekwardness Of the New
York and Philadelphia bankers in taking their
share Of the government loan says:
The exigencies Of the moment are such that
it leaves the financial officer Of the government
but one alternative, and that the resort 70 the
Napoleonic OF peoples loan. Toe bare an
uouncement OF that policy will create a panic
such as has never taken place in this or any
other country. The parties to whom the two
hundred and fifty millions now in the savings
| banks belong, will no longer hesitate when
they can increase their interest from FIVE to
seven snd three-tenths per cent.-the former
doubtful and the latter the very best OF sscuri-
ties-but will forthwith demand their meney.
The result Of this universal demand is be ter
imagined than described. Our savings banks
loan the money which they receive on mort
cages upon real estate and the purchase Of
first class stocks and bonds; it is in this way
that they are able to pay their depOsitOFs in
terest. Let this money be demanded, and
mortgages, stocks anu bonds will have 60 be
thrown upon the market to obtain money 10
pay the depositOTs. The class OF depositors
are such that at The fTst symptoms Of a crisis,
even if they do not wish to purchase treasury
notes, they will forthwith call for their depos-
it's, and the result will be the same. The fall
ure Of he savings bsnks viii carry with
them all other institutions, and ali will go
down together in the crash.
We repeat il, the financial affairs Of the
country never stOad in as critical a position as
they do to-day. Thirty days from this may
see the banks and financial firms tumbling in
every direction. The Wall street philosophers
may, however, in view of the action OF the
Boston bankers, reverse their decision and de-
eide to furnish tie money even at the congress
sionsi figures. Should they decide upon that
courss, we may escape the storm that is now
pending; If not, look out FOR breakers.

The FOURTEENTH RsGIaENT.-Tbs men,
beIs Of this regiment are still in ignorance OF
the time when Uncle Sam will l~iquidate their
claims against him. Day after day they have
waited with all lie patience possible under the
circumstances, and vet three weeks have
e!apsed since their return, and still ono pay.'
This morning a large number frem up country,
"weaTy with watching" took the cars aud re-
turned bone, declaring that if the paymsster
desired to see them when be did come, said in
diyiduai could 'cali sround.o-I0ledO Blade.
This is a subject to which we confess our
selves unable to 10 justice. We are told that
the money and the psymasters to psyofall the
three months men are in the State. Still
the regiments are not paid, and the most seri-
Gus damage is done the business OF re-enlist-
ment. The blame is said to rest with the War
Department. We don't know anything about
where the responsibility should rest, but we do
know that it would be just like the War De-
partment to neglect the performance CT its
dutv in any vital matter. Cameron seems to
have been hunting the remains OF bis brother

The New YorK Democracr.

The Albany .dFgusfof the 16.h inst says:
The State Central Democratic Committee,
Of which Hon. John A. Green is chairman,
and which represented in The last election the
"H4rl" section OF the party ia this State. so
called-of which Breckenridge and Brady
were the candidates, met yesterday in this city,
and after the passage Of preliminary Tesolu-
tons, which will be found elsewhere, unani-
mouslY concurTe1 in the call OF the State con-
~yention for the 4th Of September next at Sy-
~racuse; and in the merging Of all conflicting
organizations In The common effort against the
enemies OF tie Union.
This is the hrss general demonstration in
behalf OF the movement initiated By the Dem
ocIatic State Committee Of which Mr.. Rich
mond is chairman. The German committee Of
New York, committees of other cities, and the
whole Democratic press without exception, re-
sponded promptly and with enthusiasm. This
committee represents an organ zatiOn embrace
ing the whole State.
We rejoice at this evidence Of Democratic
unity. 1t is one Of the assurances Of a Demo-
cratic victory, and Of a restoration OF better
and more efficient c~ounsels to the State, and
5osn 10 the DstiOn. There is but one party
that can carry on war or restore peaCe-one
party only to whom the Union and c~onstitu-
tion can be trusted, and that party is the De.
mocracy. When it is united it Is always VIC
%toTious.

FEMALE sEAaeH1Na IN THE REVENUE
SERvIcE.-ManY persons are unaware that "a
old system OF English and Continental
custom houses exists In the revenue
service OF New York, in the way Of
employment OF female searchers. At the
barge Office a. the foot Of Whitehall street all
the first and second class passengers who ar
rive in foreign vessels are taken into a con-
venient room appropriated for the purpose,
and female searchers perform their Office upon
the voyagers of their own sex. The duty, ct
course, is delieately and eXpeditiousiy done,
and it NAV be promised that the employment
Of females in the service is an imperative ne
cessity. Large quantities Of diamonds and
other precious stones are annually smuggled
into this couEtry, and despite the vigilance OF
tae officers of the customs, they continue to
arrive by every steamer. Sometime since 1t
wac found that females were employed con
csaling these dutiable articles, and, no doubt,
in many instances they succeeded IN escaping
with their goods by pleading for that non in
reference with their baggage and person
which no gentleman conld refuse. Since the
Inauguration OF the female revenue officers,
smuggling in that direction has materially de-
creased.
No More PRIsONERs.-Ths Cincinnati
Times, abiding to the discharge OF prisoners
by the federal government, on administering
tue oath, has the following mild suggestion:
Nothing has more discouraged our trooPs,
especially in Western Virginia. than this IN
wise and seriously dangerous policy. l. is not
uuc0mmo to hear them declare that they will
take DO more prisoners, but Gs a matter OF
self-defense, shoot al whom they &c, within
their power.

RAILROAD Accident near Knoxville.

The Knoxville Register, of The Goth inst,
gives the following account Of the railroad
accident which occurred three miles from that
city, upon the East Tennessee and Virginia
rDilroad on the night previous:
Two extra trains, containing a regiment Of
Mississippi soldiers, left our depot about dark,
and had hardly got out Of hearing when the
foremost train came into collision with a freight
train coming west. The collision was fright
FIJI, but only one nan, whose name we have
not learned, was killed outright. Some TWEEN
ty-eight or thirty brave soldiers were more OF
less Injured, several Of them it is supposed
fatally. An engine was immediately dis
patched TO this city, and several physicians at
once repaired to the spot.
About II O'clock the train returned, bring
ing the wounded. DR.. Ramsey, who has charge
Of the Knoxville hospital, having received in
telligence of the accident, was awaiting their
arrival. The wounded were conveyed to the
hospital, where they received the most unre-
hitting attention, both from those having
charge OF the hospital, and from the medical
force at Camp Sneed. We cannot, at this late
hour of the night, give a detailed account Of
the collision, nor a list of the wounded.
The accident is charged to an error in the
railroad management, which should be inYes-
tigated. We refrain from stating the various
runors which are 10 circulation, lest we should
do injustice to some Whe are innocent.
Tn engineers and fifemen Of bo'h trains, as
far as we can lear0, escaped without injury.
Although much Indignation was manifested
toward them, they are said not to have been to
blame. These railroad accidents are becom.
ing frequent. Let the culpable parties be
ferreted out, and let the responsibility rest
upon them.

FEMALE SPIEs.-A northern paper contains
he following: Gen. Mansfeld's Office at
Washington continues to be visited daily bv
ladies to procure passes permitting them to
cross the river into Virginia. The important
part played by female secessionists in cen
veying intelligence to the rebels has resulted
IN the utmost caution being exercised in grant
ing passes to ladies, and none, except those
who brIng undoubted proofs Of their loyalty,
are favored. The National Republican saws
that a young wemAB, elegantly attired, ap-
piled recently for a pass, representing her
self to be a sister Of a major In one OF the
regiments near Alexandria. On being oues-
toned, she stated that she stopped at WiHari's
Hotel ; but when asked the number of her
room, was quite Disconnected, and in a mo-
ment she abruptly left. An inquiry at the
hotel confirmed the suspicion that no such
lady was an inmate of the house. Cores
pondence intercepted by the government agents
often d~iscloses the names OF women in Wash.
inston-soue Of them young in yesrs-who
sympsth1ze with the rebels, and it not unfre-
quently happens that, not knowing the fate Of
their letters, the fair rebels apply for passes,
and they are confronted at once by the proofs
of their disloyalty.
