MANASSAS JTNcrIoS-Irs sTBATEGETIcAL M
PoRrAScE.-A correspondent of the New Orleans
Della writes as follows:
The strstegetical Importance of Manassas June
ton to both sides is obvious. Richmond is at the
lower and irregular angle Of the irregular Quadri-
lateral which bounds the seat Of war. 1t l5 to be
the military well the civil headquarters of the
Confederate Government, and itshould by all means
command the two lines of which it is the interseo
tion-one leading to Norfolk the other to Hsrper's
Ferry. Now, Manassas Junction is on the line to
Harper's Ferry, about midway. Advancing into
Virginia. the United States army could not well af
ford to leave Confederate force, say from ten to
fifteen thousand, and constantly increasng ia its
resr to Harpers Ferry. Nor could Confederate
commander ct Richmond afford to leave so impor
tant portion Of his army as that at Harpers Fer
ry cut off by the seizure CT his line Of communities
ton a. Manassas Junction. The preeaution had
already been taken TO destroy railroad bridges be-
tween that point and Alexandra. The enemy can
only reach il on foot and depend upon it, an at
tempt to do go will bring Of the most desper-
ate and bloody contests related il the annals of
war.
The South Caro- inians, under Gen. Beauregsrd,
have the post Of honor, as well as danger, at Ma
nassas Junction. They asked to be placed where
the storm Of battle seemed most likely to burst.
Their ardent wish is tc meet The enemy face to face
hand 10 hand. They feel not the least doubt Of the
result They reduce the question to the simple one
of victory or death. The enemy must kill them, be
killed fly for his life. In fact this is the spirit
Of TIE Southern sOldiery in general. The Southern
soldier has Romans faith in cold sleel-a faith
whose terrible illustration caused the vultures 10
gather to their anticipated banquet when they heard
the ''long, stern swell which babe the Rom&s
close" Be assured it will be dreadful day when,
after the thunder Of artillery Is flushed, and the
rattle Of musketry has subsidized, Southern column
with one terrific shout, shall leap with rapture to
close encounter with the enemy, and commence
the harvest Of death with bsyonet cutlsss and bowls

The Liverpool Cotton Interest on the
Blockade.
From the LIVERPOOL Albion, Nav %.


The English temper is very likely to be severely
tried on the question Of blockade. II is not the in
rest of the English merchants that any Of the ports
Of America, either North South, should be block
sded and any 5yoeka5s C be regarded With the most
Jealous criticisz1 A blockade is the carrying into
effect by an armed force of that rule of Law which
renders commercial intercourse with the port block
AIDED unlawful on the part of neutrsls. Actual
blockade is the most essential element Fl legal
blockade and it is only be consideredss actually
existing when there is power to enforce it. "The
very notion of a blockade" said Lord StoweH, elm
cudes that the 5esiegng force can apply its power
to every peint Of the blocksded State Now it is
very much questioned whether the North can ef-
fectualy carry cut the complete blockade it has mo-
tilted the world to exist Of the whole seacoast Of
the South.
II may therefore, be regarded as certain that the
British public who want cotton from the South and
corn from the North. will not be satisfied to recog-
nize any constructive bloekades, and there is every
reason 10 fear if the American people continue long
In state of hostility that gerry Craze questions 0iiI
arise uvh respect TO the blockade Of American poTts
1t will be lamentable, indeed, if any collision
shoad arise between this country and either Of the
bellgersnt parties; but it would eyince q want Of
prudence in the public journalists if they did not
point out the probable consequences Of any sVoWed
line of tactics 10 friendly State. If the Southern
States are in earnest in their determination to
eede, no physical force can compel them to remain
in the Union, and the proposed mutual slaughter
will bs at once futile aud wicked. There are few
people who can better afford to be reasonable than
the Americans. for they are recognized as people
charged with indomtsble pluck, and they will lose
nothing by owing in this terrible emergency that
they are also possessed Of moderation and renec-
ton.

To arms, to ye braves,

Fight bold for Freedoms cause,
Fight for your native land.
Your fathers fought for precious rights;
They fought for liberty;
Betray not then the sacred trust
By them reposed in ye.
But fly to arms, ye braves,
The hour of trials nigh;
Onto the battle field
To conquer or to de-
To arms, to arms, We braves,
And for your children tight;
Strike home for Liberty,
Equality and Right
Strike home others did Of old
Forall you hold most dear;
List to sIAYish craven heart
Whose pulses throb with fear;
But fly to arms, ye braves,
