RIGUTEoUs RETALIATIoN.-SeVeral
Of the L. 5. Census AEarshals in the Sc
ceding States, having applied to Mr..
Kennedy, Superintendent Of the Cen
sus at Washington, for the Immediate
payment Of their fees, he replied that
the government had been deprived, BY
the so-caIled Southern Confedcracy, Of
the funds whcrewith to pay its crcdi-
tors, and was therefore unable to pay
them; but if they will accept Of orders
Of their own citizens who owe the gov
ernment, and will signify their wiIling-
ness to honor the drafts, he doubts not
that arrangements can be effected to
cancel their obligations.

THE BLOCKADE.

The National Iateligeacer Of August 10th
discusses the blockade, or rather the closing
Of the ports Of rebcllious states, at great
length. From this article it appears that the
right Of a nation to blockade its own coasts
or 20 close its ports to commerce, has been
heretofore tested and established. During
The civil war in Portugal, about thirty years
ago, she established blockade Of her own
ports. A British steamer ran the blockade but
was captured in port by Admiral Napier, an
Englishmau who was then in the service Of
the Queen Of Portugal. The vessel was con
demnod. Napier returned to England, and
in 1896 an action Of trespass was brought a.
gans' him by owners Of The captured steamer
The court dismissed the suit, Chief Justice
Tiudal taking the occasion 10 say that " the
vessel was rightly taken by the Queen Of
Portugal as prize" In 1891, and before its
domination had in fact been established, Rus
sia forbid the entrance Of vessels to any of
her ports ON the Black Sea, except where Gus
tom-houses and quarantines had been estab-
iishcd No formal blockade was attempted,

Fifteen of the tweuty-one Breckinridge pa

ESCAPE OF UNION PGtsoNRRs- Thirty
three of the federal soldiers. who were held
as prisoners at Manassas. have escaped hand
somcly and returned TO Washington. David
Glendenning of Portland, Ne, with thirty
two others, was taken prisoner on Sunday
afternoon at Bull Run, by Johnston's reserve,
in front Of the angular battery of the rebels
They we're taken thence to a new guard-house,
just erected, about half or three-qHarters of
a mile back in the woods from Manassas -
The rebels every day entreated them to Join
their ranks and made them very flattering
propositions. Their fare in the guard house
was bad enough, although pint Of brandy a
day was given each
They were all heavily manacled, and many
were chained to the walls Fortunately for
them, file was accidently found, with which
they had so weakened their irons that on
Saturday night last they made a rush upon
their guard and effected nleir escape One
lieutenant and single .entinel wefo posted
at the only egress lct The guerd-house.--
These were killed, aAa The whole thirty three
made quick time through the woods TO Jack
son Hights, and from thence To Washington
They all arrived in New York Wednesday
evening. Mr. Glendenning says that he has
enlisted into the Maine Seventh and after he
has been TO Portland shall return in a few
days to the army, and that twenty-three of
his fellow-prisoners will accompany him. He
says, further, that they are all old soldiers,
and have seen service before.
The rebel Congress has voted to oxpel or
imprison all Unionists.

GOVERNMENT LOAN NEGOTIATED.

GOVERNMENT LOAN NEGOTIATED.
Tho banks Of New York Philadelphia and
Boston have very promptly met the wishes Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury, and engaged
to take at once fifty millions Of treasury notes
bearing 7.3O per cent interest; and reserying
the right to take fifty millions more on the
18th Of October, and still fifty millions moe
on the 18th Of December at par In
the mean time, il moro funds arc required,
the Secretary can issue demand notes so far
as may be necessary. The government is to
issue no other treasury notes until the banks
shall have determined whether or not to a.
vail themselves Of the right to take the issues
of October and December. II they decline,
the notes will be offered to the people at
large as a national loan The banks take the
notes to dispose of 10 persons wishing to
make investments and the motive for doing
it is to prevent the treasury notes from enter
ing into the currency of the country, and
cutting off, so far, the circulation Of the banks.
The movement is good, both for the banks
and the government.

Hall has held the office for many years, and
has secured enough from it to be well to do

than right to rotate him out, even had the

give the place to a Republican. The Courier

The Richmond Dispatch in narrating the
Bull Run closes graphic account of their
valorous conduct under the fire of the Feder-
al troops as follows;
AT length they withdrew from the fight
Their final rally was with soma 60 men OF the
600 they took in. Balaklava tells no more
heroic tale than this: Into the valley Of
death marched the six hundred As they
retired, they passed Gen. Beaurogard. lie
drew aside fronted, raised his hat and said
salute the Sth Georgia with my hat off. -
After the retirement of this remnant of the
Sth Regiment, The Dispatch goes on to tell
how the Georgia 7th was brought up to sus-
tain the position they had occupied, and how
bravely they fought Tut it appears that they
were slaughtered very much in the same man
ner the Colonel Barlow being killed i'm
mediately upon taking position. These de-
tailed accounts Of the losses sustained by
each regiment show much greater loss Of
the rebels than the papers which publish
them Lave ever been willing TO admit in the
aggregate Here are over 500 Georgians
admitted to have been killed, while the Louis
ianians claim to have lost over 500, and the
South Carolina Legion, whose Coloue was
woun led and their Lieutenant Colonel killed,
are officially reported to have been complete
ly cut up, and to have had more than 200
killed and wounded The North Carolina
Regiment lost 10 men, and eV6fy ogier re-
giment suffered more or less and yet the re-
bel authorities claim that their loss was less
than that Of the Union army

A CAMP MEEIING IN IRELAND.-Camp
meetings have hitherto been held only in A.

meeting began in Enniskillen, Ireland, under
the direction of Rev. II. Graves, of this coun-

parts of our country. In the centre was a
large square that would accommodate three
thousand people with seats, and canopiad
platform for the preacher and other minis tiers.
y large tent was erected for general prayer
meetings, and for the public service in un-
pleasant weather. But few Of the worshipers
remained on the ground during the night.
though some abode in their tents, and were
pleased with the experiment. The ministers
entered into the meeting with zeal and graft
flying spiritual results are reported. Many
were awakened and converted. and it was
hoped that the good influence would extend
throughout the Conference.

SusPENDEp.-During the last few weeks
one hundred and fifty newspapers have sus-
pended publication. In these times subscrib-
ers should be more prompt than usual in
paying for their papers, for publishers need
the money.
On the one hand, job work and advertising
have fallen off, while on the other the ex-
penses of publishers are greatly increased to
get the newS and promulgate it at the earliest
moment. SO don't forget the printers.
