Several British journals are contending
against the legality of the blockade, upon
two grounds: First that it is in violation of
treaties Of amity and commerce with friendly
nations. Second, that the President has no
power to proclaim 1.-THE Congress being the
War.making branch of the Government.
If there are treaties with other nations
which expressly provide that the Govern
ment of the United States shall not blockade
the ports of the Confederacy, they should
doubtless be respected; hut there are none of
that character.
In respect to the division of the powers of
this Government; this is a question with
which foreign nations have nothing to do.
The question for them is simply this: Is the
blockade actual? Ifit is they are bound to
respect it.
1t is true that the Constitution enumerates
among the powers of Congress that "to de.
clare war;" but it is equally true that the
President is not prohibited from making war
without proclamation. There was no decla-
ration of war by Congress against Mexico,
and yet war was made; and its existence as
an actual war was recognized by all the ma
tions of Europe. They took cognizance Of
the fact, and inferred, as they were bound to
do, that the fact was conclusive as to the
right,

that H. P. Ritchey, a minor, aged between
fully detained at Camp Dennison by the
officers of the Twelfth Ohio Regiment. 1t
appeared that he joined Company as a

young man was released.
A writ was also issued on behalf of E. B.
Fl. Owens in the Sixth Regiment.

South CAROLINA AINDIGNANT.-SinceF France

of privateers into their ports, the Charleston
Mercury recommends that all relations with
Great Britain and France be broken off al
once, and that neither of the two be al
lowed to have bale of cotton under any
circumstances. Terrible!
There is no doubt says the Louisville
Journal, that many hundreds, if not thou
sands, of men of Northern and foreign birth
have been forced into the Southern Army
and are forted into it continually. Gener-
ally, however, they have no means o!
making ther wrongs known, for they are
not permitted to write to their friends, and
the Southern papers dare not let the truth
appear in tleir columns.

Attempts are being made to put Mr.. How
ell Cobb's system of finance in operation
This, in its main feature, consists in borrow-
ing the cotton of the planters and giving
them security in the form of the Treasury
notes of the Confederacy. To the shame OF
the planters, be it said that they do not seem
to relish the proposition; but as they have a
summary way, in that country, of disposing
of such as do not come up to the work, it
will probably win in the end.

Crowds of Patriots.

The number of applications for office under
the Collector Of the Port of New York is
twenty nine thousand. As the number to
be chosen is considerably less than one in
fifty, there should be mastering officers ready
to place the balance of these patriots at once
in position to serve the Union in another
field of action. Such devotion to their
country will doubtless make them excellent
soldiers
