MIR. sEwARD's LAST GARD. is


Whether Mr.. Secretary Stewards letter
to the Governors of the States is prompt
ed by anything more than desire TO
keep himself before the public, is more
than we can say The letter is a muddlc
and one is puzzled to know why he as
sumed to write it, or why it was written
to the Governors, or why if there was
any motives for the suspicious 1t embod-
lies, il was written at all. IL Is the duty
of the Secretary of War to see to mat
ters of coast defence, and as Congress
will be in session before the State Legis-
latures, to the former body viii fall the
duty Of providing for it. s,.5 -
The document has had tho effect of
knocking down stocks; and as an attempt
for notoriety is more costly than the ar
rests Of small boys and old women as
State prisoners. The language used vii
confirm and spread the conviction felt in
Canada and England in regard to the
North. rt.t-..
The impression conveyed by this docu-
mcnt is that Great Britain, aud perhaps
othe powers allied with her, viii attempt
to break our blockade and that thisywill
lead to an immediate state of hostilitles.
1t Is even possible that the. AdmihiStra-
ton, desparing of an eticctual blockade,
may have determined TO abandon tbat
pretence, and to assume to suspend the
legal existence OF ports of entry in tho
rebellious States and that Mr.. Seward Is
preparing for the defiance chat foreign
powers may give TO such an attempt
rhe Congress Of Paris settled that an
effective blockade must be respected by
neutral powers, aud this is now the law Of
nations; bat how far nation has right
to close, by proclamation, ports in tho
hands of an insurgent force, is yet an
open question England aud France
would interpret il in the light OF their
own interests -
| we should look upon an Intervention
by England, France aud Spain, (the lat
tr power being allowed TO come in in
order to humiliate us as an event calcu
lated to ro6se to IN xtr, me tie Ma ional

the corn and cotton 70 Europe, and much

are the best customers Of England and
France. No war could be long main
tanned against us, without involving our
adscrsaries IN ruin as great aud far
more disastrous, for they would have less
power Of recuperatiou than we.

the BILL 1t was to meet pressing case. The con-
dition of that regiment from sickness and want of

ment of facts from undoubted sources showing that
that regiment had not received dollar of wages,

money. Many of them were represented to he

list large.

to the one read by Mr.. Merrmon, from private of
the Lafayette company at Yorktown, in which, with
out murmuring, the writer had made it plain to his

many things necessary to their comfort and health.
That as to the two companies from Fayetteville, he
knew them a-they were not given to murmur-
better men, drawer hearts rallied under no Southern
standard-they had shown themselves such at Beth
Ell, and in any future contests, there was not one
single man Of them who would not desire "a place
