| The situation is evidently critical The
routes We have indicated afford immediate
entrances to the Southern States, and eve-
ry consideration Of safety urged, in fact,
by the inclination of the Northern press of
the invasion of Tennessee demands that
these routes should be strongly and vigi-
lantly guarded. q
THE SEoUEsTRATIoN AcT.--The New
Orleans Crescent says.
There has been good deal Of talk about
the Contiscation Bill, very proper ono TO
meet the robberies of Lincoln, Seward,
Chase X Co. There are many fine stores
on Camp, Canal and Poydrass streets,
which must come within the meaning and
intent of the law. The great iron front
store, on the corner of Camp and Com
mon, will come within the law stores on
the corner of Bank Place and GravierA--
stores corner of Poydrass and Camp
stores corner of Canal and Chartres---tne
fine block corner of Royal and Blenville.

not cast the first stone, there cannot be ex-
pected any relief for those who have ig-
norcd the South for years, and drawn large
sums of money from its great storehouse
Of wealth and riches. True, the present
state of afIairs may be and is without 9.
precedent. But the stern and unbending
demands OF justice and retaliation require
the course indicated by the Act Of the
Confederate Congress to be carried out to
the fullest extent; and our own citizens
who have suffered BY the illegal and vile
acts Of the Lincoln, Seward & Co. dyuas-
ty be remunerated from tho proceeds Of
the confscated property. AS the act is
retrospective, taking effect from tho first
of May last, it may call into question the
rents paid by tenants since that date---
therefore, tenants and hrers Of property
which Is liable to be confscated would do
well to pay into the Confederate Treasury
hereafter. No suits can bc instituted in
our courts for residents in our enemies
dominions. Now, Messiours Tenants, you
can either pay your rents or let II alone;
but If you pay them now, with the law be-
fore you, you may have to pay them over
again. We talk to you Cor your cwn ad-
