As we have alte: dy n maiked, the foolhjM which the entrry has already obtained wiihia the harbor ot harles- ton elhctualiy juLa a dtop to tie runuitg of the blockade at that point. That fcusicesa therefore concentrates here. Where the carets- is there will the vultures te also. Where the hloo hade miners seek to get in, there v,i I tha block ed :T3 be to capture them. We may expect the blockade oS thid port to be hereafur ir uch more rigid, for the double reason of more attention being attracted to the port aid of a larger blockading force being left available by ilu seal- iig up of Charleston.

Mr. Cuiry ws not a candidate, and the position was yield ed to Jemison as an act of party magnanimity. It is be lievad by mapy of Curry's friends that he could have beea elected. Jemison was originally a nulliler, and though subsequently a co-operationist, has beea a firm and uncom promising supporter of the war.
