The privy council held by Her Maies-
ty on Saturday last was for the purpose
Of issuing an order prohibiting the ex-
port from the United Kingdom or carry.
ing coastwise of all gunpowder, saltpetre,
nitrate of soda and birthstone. Tbs
Queens proclamation to this effect il
published in London Gazette extraor-
binary.
1t is stated in the Times that nearly
every ship loading for New York is TAX
ing out large quantities of lead, which
article is not mentioned in the royal proc
amation. 1t says: The American op-
erations in lead in this market date from
the commencement Of the war. In the
German markets they commenced in
October. As almost all the salpetre
used throughout the world comes from
Dude we have practically monopoly of
the article.
CANADA IN CASE OF WAR WITH THE
UNITED STATES.
The Times adyerts 70 Mr.. Stewards
recent instructions to the people near
the Canadian frontier, and says that the
only inference from it was that he was
about to force a quarrel with England.
1t says that the wisest course for Canada
will be to prepare, to let her at once dis
cipline her militia and emulate the
mother country by drilling a volunteer
army. Montreal only wants stout hearts
and jealous hands to be safe until the
spring returns, when we can make it Sc
cure. The danger to any other point of
the frontier is less. Canada should not
rely too much on US and too little upon
herself

Tine NAME OF SCOTT COUNTY TO BE CHANGED
The Abingdon Democrat in noticing the arrival in
that place Of two companies Of volunteers from
Scott county, Va, says as the companies passed
through the streets, three cheers were called for
Scott county. Some member responded % it is
not Scott county now We intend to call it Davis
county" And this, we learn, is the sentiment of
the county generally. The people intend to apply
TO the Legislature to change the name of the
county moi desiring that any such disgrace should
attach to it as being called after the traitor and
parricide- Winfield Scott. This is right

TALK ON CHANGE.

1t was dull on the flags yesterday; not more so,
however, than usual on the last day of the spring
months A squad of the old seadfasts might be
seen taking things cUolly and philosophicay after
having advanced freely for the Southern cause,
and expressing their contempt Of old Lieutenant
General-HQsty Piate-ofS Soup, who is really afraid
to head the Black Republicans and enter Virginia
for It's suhjugation.
There was some talk about the blockade of the
rivers. The Brooklyn maybe at the head of the
passes in twcntyfour hours, which will prevent all
egress and ingrcss. For weeks and months We
have urged on the authorities the defenceless posi-
ton of the passes at the mouth of the river. The
Brooklyn at the head of the passes is equal to a
half dozen vessels outside of the bar. Our fire
ships are not ready, and it is supposed all New
Orleans has to do is to submit to the paper
blockade.
The capture of the bark H. E. Spearing, Capt.
Rogers, from Rio, by the Brooklyn, was talked Of
freely. Whether she was taken in attempting to
run in after being warned Off has not been aacer.
tanned. However, the eaptors have got tartar.
the cargo Of forty-six hundred bags Of coffee is
owned by Rio, purchased on the credit Of the
mouse Of Brown Brothers Il Co. The vessel is
| owned IN part here, and the balance is owned in
New England. The coffee would have paid well
III our market at this time. 1t will be remembered
that the Brazilian Minister at wasbinpton nroteeraa
against the blockade, contending that ninety days
time should be allowed for South American cav
ernments to be notified. The hlUnder-headed com.
manders Of Lincoln, Seward & Co. do not know
what they are about.
The ship Argo, of Bath, with load of tobacco,
which was sent into New York as a prize. has been
released, ard the British bark Hiawatha cannot be
held,
The week closing has been attended with favora-
BILE weather tor the growing crops, The accounts

Doc EAT Doc The Lincoln papers of Phila-
delphia oil agree that the most shameful frauds are
pracdced upon the Northern volunteers by those
who sell them clothing The natural instincts of
the Yankee to cheat and defraud SO strong that
he cannot help practicing it even upon his own
brethren who go to fight his battles. Shoes do not
asst more than three days, and brooches not over
week. unable longer to swiude the South by
their fraudulent waVes and merchandise they are
now practlcng their faVorite profession upon
themselves May they have happy time of it.

Reactionary symptoms.


1t was once gravely asserted that the
book" of Rocks Opera was written by
Thackeray. The " Gipsey's Warning" was
edited by different person than the author
of "Vanity Fair" Francis Bacon COM
menced novel, and even went so far as to
dictate jest-book Douglas Jerrold pro-
jected work on Natural Philosophy, and
Charles Dickens was the author of the
"words" in Hullah's opera of the " Village
Coquette." Lord John Russell wrote the
tragedy of "Don Carlos" and the grave
William Pitt contributed the last verse to the
prison-song in the "Rovers:" attributed to
Canning, the last line of which terminated in
the refrain of
University of Gottingen.
Great minds have remarkable simili-
tude, and develope themselves like shooting
stars. The public mind of California will
never accept of dexterity for principle. The
party who rows one way and looks another
can never secure majority of the votes of the
loyal and Union-loving people of the Pacific
coast.
The delusive hope of the Republican pol
iticians can never dupe the masses of the
people of this State into the support of their
ticket Their tricks and tactics are thor
oughly understood and appreciated. They
affect to believe that they have gained
strength in the country since the develop
ment of the internecine war that their eleya-
walton topower was the incipient cause. They
are not master of the situation, and this
phantasy may as well be dispelled at once.
Insolence of tone don't suit the state of the
public mind. Though they are potent in the
White House, yet their weakness in the
country is self-evident. Their regular plan
of operating will defeat them. Their policy
is repugnant to majority of the people
True it is that they have caught daring from
the uncertain sounds that the trumpet of the
late Secession Conyention has given origin
to. While the enemy IRE laundering at our
gates, we do not purpose to sit squabhling
over the petty objects that are presented TO
view. Our destiny is altogether different
Theirs is the condition of Jerusalem in its
last siege. Their tone of insult and ridicule
carries no weight with it. The temper of the
people reject with scorn such appeals. The
time for political reaction has arrived. The
speeches of Conness and Edgerton are having
the happiest effect upon the public mind of
the country.
The obstructive party in our national af.
fairs ought to be "counted out, +" and their an
tecedents obliterated from the page of our
history. The cold and unsusceptible followers
of JEFF. Davis, and the tutored hirelings of
Lincoln in this State, will have to give place
to men of a more comprehensive and enlarg
ed patriotism. Judicial blindness, with
which they are afflicted, leads them to mis-
take the signs of the times. The current of
Democracy cannot be damned up until they
are overfowed by its impetuous food.
