The enemy occupy Tybee Island, and threaten Savannah.
Vice-President Stephens was in my office to-day, and he too deprecates the
passage of so many people to the North, who, from the admission of the journals
there, give them information of the condition of our defenses. He thinks our
affairs are not now in a prosperous condition, and has serious apprehensions
for the fate of Savannah.
