In the course of conversation between
Lieut.. A. Is. Cummings, Of the ship Rich
mond, at Port Royal, and Capt Morris,
commanding the British guardship there,
the latter said 81 suppose you are in
search of privateers. Lieut.. Cummings
replied in the affirmative, and inquired of
the captain how be would treat them
in case they shosld attempt to enter the
port. "We are ordered to observe
strict neutrality, and if the Sumter were
to come in tomorrow she would receive
the same attention and assistance YOU
have received. We can make no ditfa-
ence." He read an extract from letter
from the Lord Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty, which says: I'm the event ofany
vessel bearing the flag Of the Confederate
States entering the harbor, you are to OBJ
serve strict neutrality The flag is
described, and the letter adds that the

The l. ma culation Of Prem ont,s
Proel I'm ration.

We believe that every loyal paper in
the North. and the majority of those that
sustain the Government in the South,
are on the record in approval Of Fremont's
Proclamation. The patriotic masses of
the North rejoiced at the manifestation of
vigor and pluck exhibited by it, and all
took new heart and hope under its inspir-
alton.
The emasculation Of that proclamation,
and the reputation of its policy by the
President, has east a general gloom of
mingled grief, indignation and despair
over all countenanccs on our street, ex-
cept some half dozen who hang around
"Secesh corner to rejoice in the calami-
ties of their country.
The Bull Run disaster was u terrible
defeat at the hands of the enemy, through
the laundering incompetenev of our
friends, and while the people were cast
down and chagrined, their indignation
was excited against the enemy and their
spirits rose to meet the occasion But In
the present instance our hopes are all
blasted by the deliberate determination
OF our friends and rulers, and the policy
thus lnaugurated seems to preclude the
hope of any back bone to the Administra-
