The flag of truce boat came up with Mrs. Jas. Sanchez and three children yesterday afternoon. We have been enabled to glean the following information by this arrival:
Mrs. Sanchez and family were taken from St. Augustine to Hilton Head, thence to Beautiful, and not allowed to leave the steamer. She was then sent by flag of truce for this city on Monday last. All the women who have husbands, brothers, or sons in the Confederate service or any employment under the Government, were forced to leave St. Augustine without a sufficient time allowed them to dispose of any portion of their property, and only permitted to take with them their clothing.
Dr. Weems and his son, and E. B. Usina, who refused to take the oath of allegiance to the United States Government when the Federals took St. Augustine, are still incarcerated at FortMarion, in that city. They will doubtless be taken to Hilton Head. Gasper N. Papy, who many of our readers remember as the keeper of the Florida House in St. Augustine in giving information to the enemy, claimed to be a Union man, and changed the name of his boarding house to that of ‘The Union House,’ finding himself mistrusted by his new friends, he now claims to be a Spanish subject. We believe he is a native of St. Augustine, born under the United States flag.
The 22d of February is fixed upon as the day for the attack on Charleston – that being, as the Federal officers were overheard to say when speaking among themselves of their purpose, the anniversary of the inauguration of Jeff Davis.
Mrs. S. learned from conversations she overhead while at Hilton Head among these officers, that there were upwards of 50,000 troops on Hilton Head and the islands adjacent, and another fleet of forty vessels were looked for from Boston.
