v nUj N1Kg THE BLQCKADE. -
We Uie the fol owing Tery eensible arti
cle from tbo . Petersburg Express. It u a
Terj ignifiomt fact, ibat -while we. rarely
"hear of a teasel running into our ports with
a oargo of merchandize being captured, we
Very frequently hear of the capture of Tear
aU running ontjritb cargoes of eottoo.t In
this manner, tbo iniuritrAf the blockade to
"ihe North is tery much mitigated, while it
is felt io all its rigor by the South. As long
as the Yankee?, through the medium of Naa-
sanj can exchange their merchandize at enor
mo us prices ;;foir, Southern, cotton, they
will be terv well content to maintain the
- '....'-
blockade. What his become of thai spirit
of patriotism which wool J destroy the cotton
rather than see it' fall into Yankee hands
That the importation of earn, ammunition and
army stores into Southern ports is beneficial to u,
cannot be denied. We owe much of tbe eScien-
. cj of our military forces to topplies of the above
indispensable articles which Late been received
from abroad by n timer cm axrirala of steamers in
cxir harbors Which have "run tbe blockade," m
tbe phrase is. By thin means we have, to a con
tiderable extent, been enabled to operate in the
Held with the brilliancy of succce that bss marked
all tbe pitched battles we hate been engaged in.
Bat ibis bntiness" of runniog the' blockade,
which daring the first year of the war was so con.
- ducted as to be ot the greatest profit to tbe Con
federate cause, and of the least gain to the Yan-
: keee, has assumed of lato a somewhat opposite
, character, and, as it is now pursued, promises to be
more advantageous to -our enecjy than to our
iclves, unless it can be kept in its proper limit.
W stave been frequently struck in the last few
months with ihe fact, tbk.t a Urge majority of cap
lures by-the blockading vessels have been of
cufuHird bound steamers, with cargoes of cotton,
whilt it has been very rarely that an inward
Umnd one was seized. i
Nassau is now one ol the busiest commercial
towns on the South Atlantic waters, aod has been
made to by the circumstance of its extremely ad
vantagHous position, as neutral "port, being
equally convenient to New "iork," Savannah,
. Charleston and Liverpool. It haa become, there
fore, the contre of a vat contraband trade not on
ly between Europe and the South, but i between
the tatter and the North. . The Yankees want
l otion just as much as wa want arms, munitions,
Ac., "with which- vessels that run into Southern
. . harbors are nearly all loaded. The bloekaders
know this, and they know also that a cargo of cot
ton in New York or Boston is worth at least five
tiu.es more than a cargo of foreign goods. Hence
it is, we believe, that imcard bound vessels are
sufiVired to run tie blockade in numerous instances
in order that they may load with cotton and itheo
he captured when they come out. Tnis seems to
us to be an almost irresistible inference from; the
fact we have stated, that most of the captures late
ly have been of steamers attempting to return to
Kuroje freighted with cotton. .Moreover, there
-is strong reason to believe that many articles are
hipped regularly from New York and Boston to
! ' Nassau for Te&hipment to Charleston, Wilming
ton, Savannah, and Mobile, there to be auctioned
off tn Nassau account, sub rosa, at the enormo.ua
prices now paid for almost" every description of
; goid payable in Confederate money, which is in
stantly invested in cotton that is pretty sure to flod
its way through the blockading fleet to Aiassou,
hence it goes in a Yankee bottom to New York
or Boston, where it brings nearly as enormous
prices as the goods auctioned off in Charleston
Thus the Northern adventurer, if he succeeds in
getting his goods safely to Charleston aod his cot
ton to Nassau, realizes two Tmrnense profits from
his enterprise enough to tempt the cupidity of
such Mammon worshippers as Yankee capitalists
into the wholesale contraband operationa
which areevidently going on on their account in
the Bahama waters. Whoever will examine the
auction catalogues ot goods publicly sold in Charles
ton or Wilmfn 'ton, will discover many articles
Of obviously Northern manufacture, and whieb
were evidently shipped from a Northern port.
- . Now, if this be the true state of -things, it is
plain that the South is to ore injured than benefited
bj the safe arrival in her ports of these cargoes
f.-nm Nasssu, and we think that the Government
ought to do sometfng to remedy the evil. . As long
as the Yankees can get our cotton, the war will
continue; and, therefore, every avenue through
which. they can collusively procure it from our
coast should be sealed up. We are sorry to think
that there are men in the South yes, even in
Charleston w to will sell their cotton to the
agents of speculators, although they may know
that it will find its way tox Boston via Nassau.
We have noobjectioa to steamers direct fiom
ropr, loaded with whaf our army and people ab
solutely need,rufining the blockade nor nave we
any objection-to such steamers doin; the same
- thing upon their rrturu io Europ with whatever
caigoes they may be filled with. It is this trade
through Aossau between the South and Arte York
'jT that we take exception to, and having expressed
our visas of it, we hope that something will be
dono to pot a stop to it. '
A RICH CORPORATION. -We
take the following from the Petersr
burg Exprest : 1 ' ' .
The Cirx'a Sharx. The President of the Pe
tersburg Railroad Company intiiea -the stock
holders to call upon tbe Treasurer and receive 'a
dividend." This dividend, we presume, is about
JO cent, for the lsst three months. Aa theity
" owis between fifty-five hundred and six thousand
shares of stock in this company, we imagine'the
Trranirer will have the pleasure of filling a check
for a pretty large amount. We uaderstand that,
when this dividend shall b paid into the public
treasury, the city will have received, this year,
upwards ot $172,000 as its shire of tbe profits of
. this railroad. Yerily, when our financial affairs
are in such prime order, our city taxes should be
proportionally reduced. And next year, if this

THE SIZB OF OUR ARMY.
We find in the Richmond Enquirer ' the
following cominunicatiorf -on , this subject,
which we admit contains some sensible sug
gestions but from the writer's defensive pol
icy we dissent in toto.- Nor do we; believe
that Lincoln's draft will bate tbe effect he
anticipates. At least, it will be infinitely
better for. us to prepare for them how, in the
belief that tbepublio sentiment of the North
will sustain the Lincoln Government, than to
wait until the C0Q,0OOmen are organized,
drilled, and. readj! to be hurled upon us, be
fore we begia to prepare. We are afraid that
the views of this writer are those of the Pres-'
which: ease we may look forward i
neTyear
tear to a repetition, of the disasters of
should remember that we now hate not only
to maintain our own armies, but that our in-
taded country has to maintain the armies of
the enemy, and it is for the purpose of stop
ping this one-sided operation that we advo
cate war, of intasion. , . Let our armies
march into the enemt'e oonntry. and force
him to maintain them si well as his own.
He has set us the example of subsisting his
armies upon the people intaaea, ana tne
people of the North would hate no right to
complain should we follow the example set

3TATE OP TBE .WAR.
Messrs. Editors: Until recently the signs of the
times were indicative of no great advantage caia
ed by the Confederates, and the eye was turned in
search of some rat of' light betokening peace in
prospect. And it would seeta thatsothing more
in favor of the South could have happened than
Lincoln's call for conscripts. It may be consid
ered the breaking of the back bone of the war at
the North. - nothing better could have happened
unless it were the call for 1,000,000 instead of
600,000 men. ' Bo long as foreigners carried on
the war,' and the native population In the New
England Slates were left at home, it was all tery
well. Now all alike have to enlist, and the mut
tering thunder already begins to roll. Lincoln's
defeats have excited him to basty action and he
cannot recover from' its effects on the Northern
population. President Davis has little left him to
do, but to maintain the defenaive-and let the cor
rosive work among the Federal. The fall elec
tions will reveal the virus hews. And in connec
tion herewith, it is with regret we see tbe "Dis
patch" .(.! -'Express raising; the cry for more
Conscripts, increasing the army to so weighty a
mass as to break down the Government. For it
will be found the number of rangers we expect to
organize will Insure more success than double
their number of ordinary troops. Hence, by prop
erly massing the army already in the field, and
picketing our coast well, everything will work
well-enough, f . ; ,
. Where small armies will do; it cannot be pru
dent to attempt large ones, especially situated as
the South is, with, a scarcity of the necessaries of
life, and totally unable to redress the grievance of
a famine by drawing supplies from abroad. We
must support the army as well as raise it ; and if
the wild dreaming of the "Dispatch" is followed,
calling from labor all from 35 to 50 or 65, with a
constant reduction of the slave labor, we ahall find,
before January, corn $10 per barrel, flour $39 and
bacon $1 perls. and no Confederacy can stand
such prices. The complaining we hear occasion
ally now would, in that event, break out in7 thun
der, and blight the prospect before our President
with his plan of concentration of force aod df fen
site action. .'-!.: V ) S
, And if the seaboard, is approached more in
wardly, tbe militia can becalled out to defend our
property. And this will be theooly kind of war
fare waged hereafter by Lincoln, seeking the
weakening of the South by reducing its slave Tabor;
and bear in mind no large army can so well pre
vent this as rangers, properly active.
There are two ways to breakdown a Govern
ment too-large an army and Uo small an army,
We can not support a larger one without danger
at home. The late Conscript act was unpopular,
and a new. one will increase the disaffection, and
it will be more prudent to let well enough alone.
Let it be hoped that nothing rash may be done by
Congress, when we are getting on so well.

" , - The Richmond Enquirer pnblishea the oor
respondeBce between Generals Lee, Johnson,
Hueer and the Secretary of War, in refer
ence to the evacuation of Norfolk, from which
it appears that General Huger was opposed
to the etaeoation of that place. In a letter
to General Lee, dated Norfolk, May '3rd, he
says : "My idea is, that abandoning this place
is abandoning" Virginia; and it would be bet
ter to sacrifice etery man of us than to gite
it up." General Hnger also publ'shea a card
in tbe JSnamrer in reference to his conduct
r- " ; - -
in the battle of the Seven Pines, from which
it appears that the reason he failed to engage
the enemy in that fight ' was, he did not re-
ceite orders to co so... Wef tmnc the tiene

action tn that memorable fight, but as we do
not wish to do .him injustice; we will publish

A CARD. '
RicSuokd, Aug. 23, 1862.1
lln
. General
Johnston's official report of the
battle of "Seven Pines," I am censured for not
having my division. in position at an earlier hour.
This was impossible. That there was a delay I
admit and regret, but it was caused by the sud
den rise of a stream upon which the troops were
encamped, and the stream had to be bridged.
Gen. Longstreet's troops got the road at the cros
sing first, and my troops had to wait until his got
over. After that there was no delay beyond tbe
time required for so many troops to cross. I met
'General Longstreet at the headquarters of Gen.
D. II. Hill: I asked bun which of us was tbe
senior, as I did not know ; he replied that he was.
ltold him if, he knew It, that was, sumcient.4-
From the records in the Adjutant General's of
fice. I find ho was mistaken. " I was the senior.
He directed noe to proceed down the Charles City
road to a designated position, and sent three
brigades of his division (Wilcox's, Colilon's and
Pryor's) withUhe three of my division, and there
await his orders vve all marcneo togetner, and
arrived at tha point ' designated betore 4 o'clock,
i - i i ' j . r .L' n.
ana couiu qbtb muvau io ujr part ui iu ntfiu
that afternoon bad I had order to do so.' -Soon
after retting into position Gen. Longstreet sent for
tbe three brigades of his division, and a short time
afterwards sent for General Armlstead's brigade
of my division. . These troops were engaged on
Saturday afternoon. If these troops could be en
eased, tbe rest of my division could have been
encased also bad I received orders. Late that
evening I was directed by General Longstreet to
send General Mahone's brigade early the next
mornincr to report to General D. H. Hill. The
next morning I was directed to conduct General
Blanchard's brigade to a position left of the Wil
liamsburg roaA', andiabout 3 o'clock I was ordered
to conduct it to; the front and report it to Major
General D. H.rliilf. lhus by lieneral lxng-
street's orders were Jheae three brigades Of my
command taken! from me one by one. I can only
hope such treatment was required by the exigen
cy oi toe, service, un iue oi june, iwo
days after the date ef'Gfeneral Longstreei's re
ports, be published a general order m wnipn ne
states : "At the publication of general order no.
16, from these headquarters, dated June 2d,
tbe extent of j the service of Major tfenerai
Hueer's division was not understood. That
division is entitled, to its share of the,honora of
the day." He also ordered that "Seven fines"
ue inscribed upon the standards of the 12th, 14th
and 4lst Regiments Virginia Volunteers and the
3d Regiment Alabama Volunteers. I applied
to the War Department on the 26th of, July for
Gen. Longstreet's report. 1 only received it on
the 19th of August. To this official report 1
have asked for a proper enquiry, to whigh I am
entitled. The regulations of the army very pro
perly prohibit the publication of official correa-

While the General has bis hand in, we hope
he willalso give.the public his reason, if he

(The Major General commanding discovers with
great dissatisfaction that General Order, sso. 5,
requiring that the troops in this command be
subsisted on the country in which their operationa
are conducted, has either been entirely misinter
terpreted or grossly abused by many of the ofBL-
cers and soldiers of this command. It is to be
distinctly nnderstK)d that neither officer nor sol
dier has any right whatever, under the provisions
of that order, to enter the house, molest the per
son's or disturb the property of any citizen what
soever, j
Whenever it is necessary or convenient for tbe
subsistence of tbe troops, provisions, ' forage, and
guch ether articles as may be required, will be ta
ken possession of and used, buteveiy seizure mast
be made solely by the order of the commanding
officer of the troops then present, and by tbe offi
cer of the department through which the issues
are made. Any omcer or soldier -wno snau do
ound to nave entered toe Douse or.moiestca tne
property of any citizen, will be severely punish
ed. Such acts of pillage and outrage are d tgrace-
ful to the army, and have ueither been contempla
ted nor authorized by any orders whatsoever.-
Tbe perpetrators of them, whether officers or sol
diers, will be visited with a punishment which
they will have reason to remember ; and any of

The Kuropa has .arrived . wi! London and
Liverpool dates of the 9th. - Mr." Slidellhad an
interview, with M. Thouvenel sabsequent to his
aijdence with the Emperor, and M. Thouvenel is
asserted to have alleged that the un willingness of
England was the principal reason why, France
did not act at once in American matters. The
recognition of. the South was regarded as pretty
certain . -r1' T.-,.'- - a
A-grandTbarquel was given at Sheffield to Lord
PalnserstoE, whs in his speech regretted the pre
vailing distress in the manufacturing districts ;
but he thought all would admit the wisdom of the
government in not attempting to relieve that dis
tress, by interference in the American , war. He
coniidered interference would only make matters
wore, .and the government would, tLerefore,
maintain strict neutrality. He ;.hois7iUat-the.I

J Mr. Roebuck made a long speech. He said he
bad no doubt America would be divided in two,
and' he thought ultimately into ; fire parts, and
forever cease to be the United States. He denoun
ced the conduct of the North as an immoral pro
ceeding, totally incapable of success.: Thus they
could never be re-united. - Tne war was a mere
waste of blood. It was no. war against slavery.
He said he would entreat the noble lord tojj weih
all the consequences of what he called perfect neu
trality. There has not yet "been perfectly; neu
trality. We were at present supporting thef North
with every means ot offence and injury to the
South. ' He, - therefore, begged tne. noble lord
deeply to consider w hether the time had 'hot come
for him to be the first in Europe to ask the Great
Powers to recognize theSouihern Confederacy.
'No,' no," and cheers. " Six months would not
passover before that was done. The Nottherners

OUB ABMY IN' TflF SOUTHWEST.
From the numerous stroog assurances which
we daily, fipd in our exchanges, we are forced to
the conviction that we ray bojurly look for seme '
important movement to be made by the forces
under Gen. Bragg. These movements, It irliopext,
will annihilate the Yankee army in Tennessee
and free that State aod Kentucky from Yankee
role. Speaking on this subject, tbe Atgtuta (Ga.)
Constitutionalist says i c; ; - I A. . A..
It would be improper for us to rive any details
of contemplated army movemeats bat tbtrs can
he no impropriety in stating that there hi every
reason to belTeve that Cumberland Gap la now
completely invested, and that its fall ana capture
oy our troops wui soon do announced; and that the
defeat of Buoll by 'Bragg will jalso take plaoe tt .
an early day. With these important facta accom
plished, and Roaencrans defeated at Curl alb,
Tennessee would be almost entirely cleared of our
enemies, and the evacuation of! Memphis would
soon follow. Our Victorious armies would then
have no Impediment to their march through Ken
tucky, to the very borders of tbe Ohio.
Again, tbe K noxville correspondent of the Mo
bile Begi'stsr sajsr V" ' ; .,;.:-'-
"The enemy's forces in Norlti Alabama and

may be considered reliable as to numbers CUm -
