TIE INEFFICIENCY OF THE BLocKADE.--Mauy in
stances have been recently developed going to
show that the blockade of the Southern ports is
mserably Inefficient, and it is not at all unlikely
that the evil effects of the neglect on the part of
those who are responsible will be more severely
felt at no distant day.
We saw not long ago the rebel privateer Sumter
escaping from New Orleans, which is nomlnally in
a state of blockade, and are familiar with the
depredations she has since committed on our mer-
chant marine. Then, we find the Niagara leaving
Charleston exposed for two days; and again, we
see the Wabash leaving the same port unprotected
for fifty hours at time, and then the necessity OF
the Niagara deserving the waters of Pensacola tor
two or three days in search of the privateer sum
| ter, because the Brooklyn let her slip by at New
| Orleans. And yet We have not heard that any
court of inquiry has been established or any inves
| tigation ordered into the cause of these apparen
| derelictons of duty. What is the blockade worth
thus managed? New York Herald 18th.
In the same number the Herald calls the Fedora
Secretary of the Navy an imbecie, and repeats it
stereotyped call upon the New York merchants t
arm all the idle vessels that can be got hold of.

STIRLING INCIDENT IN THE FIGHT At MANASSAS.
Probably no battle ever fought called forth more
remarkable instances of individual heroism than
the contest at Manassas. In the progress OF the
struggle regiments, and even companies, became
separated, and in many cases there hand to-
hand contest between individuals of the opposing
armies. At this stage of the battle, an incident
occurred, which, prohaby, has no parallel since
the days of David and Goliah. young man from
Augusta county, named Stitzer, member Of Capt
| Grinnan's company, found himself confronted with
| a tall Yankee Sitter had discharged his mu>ket
and the Yankee had loaded his, and was about tc
put on the cap to shoot Sitter. 1t was rather Al
awkward predicamerit to be placed in, as there
was no time for parley. Sitter, fortunately, re
tanned his sef-possession, and finding the chances
| OF contest with muskets very much against him
promptly threw his down, and sezing good-sizet
| stone threw it with great force and unerrng aim
and struck the Yankee between the eyes, crushing
in his skull and killing him instantly Stltzer
| when boy was accustomed to practice throwing
stones, and had acquired such skill that ne coul'

intelligent officers of the regiment, and may be re
lied on as authentic. [Richmond Wing

The Baton Rouge Advocate of Sunday says:
For two days past the weather has been decidedly
hyperborean in aspect. A strong and cool north
breeze has been continually blowing, compelling
pedestrians to don their fall attire. The absence
Of yellow fever, however, removes all apprehen-
sion Of the bad ehec of such "spell.'
The Opelousas Patriot of Saturday says:
For two OF three days during the past week we
were visited by chilly north winds and some rain.
In some portion of the parish it has done little
injury to the cotton crop. But from nearly every
quarter comes the cheering intelligence that the
crop this fall will be larger than it has been IN
many years. The corn is now made, so that what
ever be the weather, we are certain of a great
yield.
The following paragraphs from the Tensas
Gazette of Friday and the Plaquemines Rice
Planter, of Saturday tell the same story regarding
| the weather;
| For the last week we have had the most remark
| able weather ever experienced this time of the
| year. Rain nearly every day, and on " Nednesday
regular November or December weather, wher

so far but very little complaint

| perienced for the past few days is very unfayof
able for odr rice farmers. For the next five o
six weeks, we want dry and warm weather, il
order } gather in our rice crops in the best man
ner.
The St. Helena Imperial of Saturday says:
From what we have seen and can hear, Their
never was such prospect for crop as at thi
time. Corn has fully matured, and cottonis making
at rapid rate, which will be the largest crop eve
grown in this parish by one-tenth, if no disaste
should befallit.
