were sent up from the multitude. The crow Len ,utee
for Wigfall, and no excuse was tolerated. In vain he would's'
seek some remote part of the cars; the crowd hunted him
up, and the welkin rang with rejoicings as he addressed
them in his emphatic and fervent style of oratory. Next
would be heard a cry for Toombs !' He, too, sought to
avoid the call, Toombs !" Toombs !' and the sturdy Geor-
gian statesman had to respond. His frank and open manner
came home to the hearts of all. Whether in his own State,
in South Carolina, in Alabama, or North Carolina, ' Bob
Toombs,' as they familiarly call him in Georgia, was always
welcome when ho addressed the people. In Atalanta, Au-
gusta, Wilmington, and Goldsborough, the crowds assem-
bled were very large, and the enthusiasm unbounded. At
Goldensborough, while partaking of his supper in the hall
of the hotel, the table was thronged with beautiful girls,
and many were bedecking him with garlands of flowers,
while others fanned him. It was a most interesting occa-
sion. The military had formed into squares to receive him
from the cars, guns were fired, and the bands struck up in-
spiriting martial airs during the interval of supper. The
whole country is a camp. On every hand we see soldiers ;
and everyday the cars are crowded with them. From appear-
ances, they are the flower of the South. The journey of Pre-
rident Davis from Montgomery to the capital was one conti-
nuous ovation. The whole soul of the South is in this war;
and the confidence manifested in our President, in the
many scenes which transpired on this trip, shows that the
mantle of Washington falls gracefully upon his shoulders.
Never were a people more enraptured with their chief ma..
gistrate than ours are with President Davis, and the trip
from Montgomery to Richmond will ever be remembered
with delight by all who witnessed it. The eagerness of
young and old of all classes to catch a glimpse of him, or
take him by the hand, is beyond description. The trip has
infused a martial feeling in our people that knows no bounds.
While however there is a rush to the battlefield in our older
States, which threatens to fill up all the ranks in our army,
we must have a thought for the far distant West, and give
our young sister States an opportunity to unite their names
in the history of our war on the borders of Virginia. The
President and suite were welcomed to Virginia by a depu-
tation of the Governor of the State and the Mayor of Rich-
mond. These gentlemen reached the party at Petersburg,
and accompanied them to the city.

tions of pleasure. On leaving his saddle the President was
surrounded by an eager crowd of soldiers and civilians,.
whom he indulged by a hand-shaking performance, until
the pressure became so great that he was compelled to re-
tire to the balcony of the Executive Department, where, in
response to the demands of the assemblage, he delivered the
following brief and pertinent speech My Friends and
Fellow Citizens,—l am deeply impressed with the kindness
of your manifestations. I look upon you as the last, best
hope of liberty; and in our liberty alone is our constitu-
tional government to be preserved. Upon your strong righ
arm depends the success of our country, and, in asserting
the birthright to which you were born, you are to remem-
ber that life and blood are nothing as compared with the
immense interests you have at stake. (Cheers.) It may
be that you have not long been trained—that you have
much to learn of the art of war; but I know that there
beats in the breasts of Southern sons a determi-
nation never to surrender—a determination never to go
home but to tell a tale of honour. (Cries of 'Never,' and
and applause.) Though great may be the disparity of num-
bers, give us a fair field and a free fight and the Southern
banner will float in triumph everywhere. (Cheers.) The
country relies upon you. Upon you rest the hopes of our
people ; and I have only to say, my friends, that to the last
breath of my life I am wholly your own. (Tremendous
cheers.)

whether to advocate open or secret sessions ; but I
suspect that the people and the press will cry out
for the former. The prominent candidates for the
Speakership will be Mr. Grow, of Pennslyvania, and
Mr. Blair, of Missouri. Grow has the advantage
of long experience in Congress and great knowledge
of business ; the latter is strong as coming from a
slave State, as having at some personal risk done
very efficient duty in securing that State to the
Union, and As belonging to an influential family.
The purpose of the Government not to go south
this summer appears to be unchanged, except that
attempts will probably be made to occupy Rich-
mond and Memphis. If these two can be secured,
they will await the autumn before going further.
The Southern Government is evidently acting on
the supposition that such is their intention, and
have placed Mr. Davis in Richmond with his Ca-
binet, to inspire confidence at that point, and have
commissioned General Beaureguard to attend to the
defences of Memphis. There are various surmises
as to the probable operations in the autumn. One
is that a large force will be assembled on the fron-
tier to occupy any probable army that the South
will be able to collect together, and that meanwhile
forces will be despatched by steam transports to
open and occupy one or more of theblockaded ports,
so that an avenue may be established both for the
entry of foreign goods and the exit of cotton, under
the directions:of the revenue officers of the United
States. I have reason to believe that this plan has
received a favourable consideration.

The troops for the present campaign have been
arriving at Washington at the rate of about 1,000
a-day, and it is probable that the advance upon
Manassas Gap will be made before long ; that time
depends, however, upon the movements of General
M'Lelland and General Patterson upon Harper's
Ferry and the counter movements of General John-
ston. Thus far General M'Lelland has acted with
great celerity and success. By a forced night march
of loyal Virginian troops he surprised and com-
pletely broke up a camp of the rebels.
The intrenchments on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, opposite Washington, are now completed.
My regular Washington correspondent writes under
date of June Ist, that " the principal works are
two totes de pont at the head of and half a mile from
the Long-bridge at Washington and the Aqueduct-
bridge at Georgetown. The former is a bastion with
retreating angles, 2,500 feet long, with double em-
bankments, and a ditch 10 feetdeep. A coves makes
in behind it from the marsh, which extends from
the bridge to the foot of the first rising ground.
The other work is similar to this, and of about the
same size. The hills at Alexandria are well fortified
towards the interior, and the lines of the intrench-
meats extend to the right of the town several hen-
dred feet. Beyond the aqueduct there are intrench-
ments on the summit." These works on the Virginia
side of the river are occupied by about 13,000
troops. The slope on the Washington side of the
intrenchment is occupied by a New Jersey Regi-
ment. Three more New Jersey Regiments are sta-
tioned beyond, towards Alexandria on both sides of
the road. Alexandria is occupied by the Michigan
Regiment and the Penn sylvan ia sth. The New York
Firemen Zouaves are stationed about a mile beyond.
Alexandria. The 69th New York Regiment is sta-
tioned at the Georgetown intrenchment, the New
York Bth at Arlington.house (General M'Dowell's
head-quarters), and the New York sth and the
Brooklyn 28th beyond Arlington-house, with which
communication is kept up by an artillery road con-
structed through the woods. The country there is
undulating and woody, with bridle-paths intersect-
ing it for two miles up the river from Arlington-
house. These details may interest some readers,
but the position of these regiments will not be long
maintained, as the onward movement is speedily
looked for. Mr. Davis is undoubtedly concentrat-
ing all his force in Virginia, with a view to
outnumber General Scott at the beginning, if
possible, and of gaining the prestige of a victory.
We have ;no means of knowing his exact force.
From all the information I can gather I think he
has not less than 50,000 or 60,000 effective men
under him in the various parts of Virginia—the
larger part stationed at Harper's Ferry, Manassas
Gap, and Richmond. General Scott has about
35,000 at Washington, 10,000 at Fort Munroe,
5,000 in and about Baltimore, 10,000 in and on the
frontier of Western Virginia, and 10,000 threaten-
ing Harper's Ferry from Pennsylvania. In addition
to this, troops are every day going on from here,
and before many days Virginia will be threatened
by an army of 100,000 men.
The blockade is now established at Mobile and
New Orleans. The Mobile Advertiser of the 28th
ult. says
"About 11 o'clock yesterday morning a large steamer
appeared and took her position to command the ship chan-
nel entrance of the bay, coming to about seven miles, more
or less, off Fort Morgan."

An important conflict, and one much to be re-
gretted, has arisen in Baltimore between the mili-
tary authorities and the Chief Justice of the United
States. The General in command at Fort M'Henry
arrested, under instructions, a prominent citizen of
Baltimore, and removed him to the Fort. The
Chief Justice, to whom his friends made application
for a writ of habeas corpus, hurried to Baltimore
for the purpose of issuing one. Gen. Cadwallader
refused to produce the prisoner, on the ground that
the habeas corpus was suspended, upon which a
warrant was issued for the arrest of the General for
contempt. The sentry at the door of the fort refused
the marshal admittance. The Chief Justice then

wrote a long opinion, denying the right of the
President to suspend the writ, and putting the
case in a way to excite the already embittered feel-
ings of the people of Baltimore. 'Where the Chief
Justice, a Southerner, and the Attorney-General,
also a Southerner, disagree as to the limits of the
powers of the President in time of rebellion, lay-
men may claim the right to make up their minds for
themselves. We have at present only the state-
ment of facts as made by the Chief Justice in his
opinion. From this, however, we glean that the
offence for which Mr. Merriman has been made a
prisoner of war is not known ; and, if it should turn
out that General Cadwallader has information that
he was acting with the enemy and counselling the
means of attacking the force under General Cad-
wallader's command, it is not easy to see why he
should not be arrested, and held as a prisoner of
war, not subject to release by civil process. In the
time of such a rebellion as this, the act of the Mili
tary Department in a country which has just bee.
subdued, which is still held by force, and which
sympathises actively with the rebels, ought not to
be measured by the same criticism that would be
applied to it in time of peace.
We have at last authentic accounts of the posi-
tion of General Houston in Texas. He is for the
South unequivocally, although condemning the re-
volution as unnecessary.

" The United States' steamer Brooklyn, Captain Poore,
having notified the authorities at the Belize that a strict
blockade of the mouth of the river had been ordered, and
that he was on hand to render the blockade effective, was
boarded yesterday under a flag of truce by the captains of
several British and French vessels now on the bar, and
Captain Poore was asked if he intended to prevent the de-
parture of the vessels then on the bar belonging to English
and French owners and loaded with freight for foreign
ports. Poore declared that he should certainly prevent
their departure or seize them if they attempted to run the
blockade. As their ships are all heavily loaded with valu-
able cargoes, including 2,000 hhds. of tobacco shipped by
the French Consul on account of the French Government,
and several hundred on account of Rothschilds and other
foreign houses, such a decision naturallyproduced consider-
able excitement in this city. The British and French Con-
suls took the matter in hand, and by telegraph caused Cap-
tain Poore to understand that they would not permit such
nonsense, and that the British and French squadrons would
be here in a few days to protect the interests of their Go-
vernments. The latest news from the Belize was that Poore
had backed down and the ships are all going out. The Bri-
tish and French merchants in this city, who are largely
engaged in our trade, will demand the protection of their
Governments, and it is hoped both by them and our
own citizens, as all the trade we have or intend to have is
with their ports, that their fleets will speedily appear in the
Gulf."

The Confederate States have passed the following
act prohibiting the exportation of cotton through
the Southern seaports :-

rica do enact that from and after the Ist day of June next,

United States, it shall not be lawful for any person to ex-
port any raw cotton or cotton yarn from the Confederate
States of America except through the seaports of said States,
and it shall be the duty of all the marshals and revenue
officers of the said Confederate States to prevent all viola-
tions of this act.

Southern papers, with a view of forwarding them
in lieu of a letter, under the belief that when
strung together they would be more interesting
than anything from this quieter part of the coun-

" Our readers have been long since placed is possession
of the fact that Stringham and Pendergrast are night and
day cruising near the mouths of our principal rivers, not
only endeavouring to effect a complete blockade of our ports
but are constantly seizing, searching and detaining every
kind of water craft, from an oyster craft to the largest
importing vessel. Nothing goes amiss with these men.
Everything which they can catch is contraband. Soft
crabs, sheapheads, pig fish, green peas, and strawberries
are all mercilessly confiscated as Minie rifles, ammunition,
breadstuffs, and bombshells. The insolence of the enemy
on land is also as unendurable as it is on the water. On
the great route of travel between Baltimore and the South,
' baggage-smashing' is a regular occupation of the enemy.
They open everything, from private letters to the most
harmless packages. They declare anything and everything
to be contraband. This system of disguised piracy and high-
way robbery, it seems, has thus far been met by the Virginia
authorities with that Christian meekness which recom-
mends the offer of both cheeks to the enemy. Stringham,
Pendergrast, and Butler seize everything, from ships and
strangers to love letters and rat traps ; we permit contra-
band of the most dangerous character to escape. We learn
that a few days ago there was a large, well-built Yankee
vessel lying near the mouth of the Pamunkey River, loaded
with the best of ship-building materials. The vessel itself
would have been a most valuable accession to our navy,
while its cargo would have furnished the necessary material
for the construction of several good vessels. The officer in
command at West Point, knowing that Pendergrast and
Company were seizing every Virginia and Southern vessel
which they could overhaul, determined that the Yankee
vessel on the Pamunkey should not escape. He therefore
directed its seizure, and his orders were promptly executed.
The seizure was right and proper, and should be followed
by many others. it was an act of discourtesy, however, to
the enemy, which the company for taking care of 1)
