a EAerCulenn Task.

In order that the world may appreciate
the magnitude of the task which the aol
interim Secretary of War and Gen Scott
have undertaken, and may admire the ad.
venturous spirit which animates that gal
liant pair, We would remark that the States
which are already out of the Union, and
which are to be whipped" into obedience
to laws which they have renounced, are as
follows:
Dec 20-South Carolina ordinance
passed.
Jan. 9.-Mississippi ordinance passed
Jan. Ii Florida ordinance passed.
Jan. ll.-Alabama ordinance passed
To-day or to omorrow, Georgia will be ad
dcd to the number, and before a month has
e!apscJ, Louisiana, Texas and the great
State of Virginia will certainly have scced-
ed and exposed themselves to the judicial
wrath of Smalley. Within that time, it
Is more than probable that Arkansas, North
Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky and Tcnne.
sec will also have been guilty OF treason or
misprision of treason" as defined by the
acute Smalley.
The States which have already reused
The ire of Snalicy, and arrayed against
them the military ardor of the al interim
Secretary aud the venerable Lieutenant.
General, have the following population,

Blockade.

The definition Of blockade; in international
law, Is the application Of force by one bel:
iixerent to the ports Of another. The measi-
ing OF the term has never been extended
TO an internicine war, much less to one be-
tween Confedcrated States. Should the
dominant majority in Congress institutes q.
blockade of the ports of the seeding StAtes: I
for the purpose Of compelling their submits
sion, the meaning Of the term blockade
must be greatly enlarged, not only in its
wider applied tion than usual, but the pur-
pose and aim Of blockade must be departed
from as az instrument in bclligercnt hos.
tilities.
1t is now the accepted definition Of block:
ade that it must be 80 efficient as to prevent
all access 10y sea to the blockaded port. Like
con,raband OF war, the interest AID human
ity of the present age have contracted, not
enlarged, the sense of these phrases. The
naval forces of the United States are totally
inadequate to the blockade Of . long lipc of
Atlantic and Gulf Coast Ii the central
despotism at Washington should resolve I'd
select one or two ports Of the South for yeo-
gcnce, in the Introduction Of their foreign
trade, the question of blockade within the
meaning OF international law, will, in all
probability, become European, as we'll a.
American, on the principle that the interest
of general commerce are not to be sacri-
heed IN vain endeavor to compel the sub
mission OF recusant States in Confedaracy
OF equals. The position will be taken i'm
Europe, that as there is no prospect Of sub
jugasing seven States these being in posses
sion fncarly all the military approaches to
their capitals, de .tacto independents is
established, irrespective of the Au.cricad
view otthc question; thatifone or more ports
only are blockaded, and not the whole, it
void violate the Constitution, by giving .
preference 10 some ports Of the Union over
theirs, all the States being considered by
the dominant majority in Congress as still
members of the ContcIcracy Eccnfng
