FROM the Columbia Herald.

Confederate states have not ship at sea. We may
safely originate plans for blowing up the vessel:
employed in blockadmg our ports, without danger
| of being 'hOisted by our own petaPd."
Such an attempt is not TO be expected from gov
ernmental Departments and Bureaus; projectors
with their "seething brains and shaping fantasies
are terror to them. Throughout our Southern
seaports, men Of mechanical turn and of the right
spirit must go to work maturing the best plans for
the destruction the capture Of every blockading
ship - ..--
All things invite the enterprise From the Chesa-
peake to the mouth Of thesRio Grande our coast is
better fitted for submarine warfare than any other

uniform currents, and bottom always sandy,

these sands, acquiring confidence in their new
element and skill in the of their terrible engines
Of destruction. Experiments should be multiplied
for fixing upon the most effective form for the sub
marine shell, percussion cap for firing the fuse,
and especially the arrangements of the fatal wire
safe when not IN use, and inevitable when drawn
upon an enemy. All that art can do. we will DO
for the destruction of our invaders; but we would
rather capture than kill them. We will, far as
possible. heed the calls of humanity. If. in the

shells may easily be planted all over the cruising

sailed over without exploding them.

A Heroine of ,SI.

ede Kay" the graceful Harper,s Ferry cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier, relates the
following patriotic incident in which lady of
Maryland was the actor
In the dearth of other news. let me give you
another instance of the lovely devotion of women
to our noblest and most glorious of all causes.
Very recently Mrs. Bradley johnson, of Frederick,
Maryland, wife of leading lawyer and daughter
of Romulous n. Saunders, formerly Minister to
Spain, hearing that the Baltimore regiment station
ed at this point, were not adequately armed and
equipped, determined TO remedy the defect Alone
she lourneyed 70 North Carolina, her native State
and there before meeting of prominent citizens,
explained the object of her mission. But few
words of her eloquent and pleading tongue were
necessary. Five hundred of the most approy-
ed rifles were instantly supplied, beside
clothing and accoutrements of all descrip-
tions. She returned here, and was received
with the honors due worthy woman, who had no.
bly, accomplished her patriotic mission. But this is
not the only feat of Mrs. Johnson worth recording
On her route hGmewsrd while passing over the
Orange and Alexardria Railroad, her suspicious
(womanly and of course more ACUTE were aroused
by the appearance of man on the train. She in
weighed the fellow into conversation, and finally
elected from him such expressions Of sympathy for
the North, to justify sn officer being called and
an arrest made. Concealed about his person were
found maps plans and other documents. He proved
TO be Mr.. Mckenzie, of Alexandria, and paid
spy in the service of Lincoln's Government.
