A Hero.

Among the officers who will probably be placed
in high potition in the army o: the South, no one
is more truly the hero than Gel. W. II. L. WAL
Kerr Of Georgia. We adopt the language Of one
who knows him wsll. Col. Walker was gradua-
ted in the Military Academy ar West Point in the
year 1877, ani Immediately entered the army, as
brevet I'd I:eutruput before lie hud attained his
majority. 1t may etrIly said of him that hc has
fought hit way" up to the position which lie
now urcupics. lie met his enemy for ths first
time upon tho buudy iiel Of Dchecobce, in which
engagement ho received five wounds. lis gal
unt and daring conduct np"n tha, occasion was
soon rewarded by his promotion toa Cupt.iney,
upon the Recommendation Of Gen. Taylor, than
whom tacro WAS NO better ju!sc OF the merits and
worth Of soldier. lie wns afterwards assigned
to the division commanded by General Scott in
the Florida war, anl in every battle fought Oh
that line he gallsn,ly sustained his well-earned
reputation. In this campaign he rendered urdu-
Gus and efficient service for two ycurs.
"At the battle of Mulino del R.y he was again
severely wounded in .torming party, in which
eleven out Of thirteen officers were either killed
or soyely disabled lie wus confined eleven months
from the wound received in that engagement.
Since that time he has been detailed upon
rious duties connected with the service, among
which was the command Of the curps Of Cadets
ut Wcs. Point, which position be held for two
years.
"Asde from the nrduous and distins suiShed ser
/
promotion which has been indicated, fr"m the
consideration, that ho is the ranking officer Iy "ye
of all the graduates at West Point, now in the
Confederate States. His claims urc also fortified
by tho fact that he Was the first officer in the Amy
Of the late United Suites to resign his commission,
and offer his services in defence Of the rights and
honor of the South. Animated by II lofty aud
virtuuus patriotism, and .inarns under sense
Of the wrongs and outrases which had been indie
ted upon her rights and her equality, he could not
brook delay until his native State Georgia bud
| spoken, Lut he seeded from the army ON the very
duy thnt South Carolina seeded from tho Federal
Gniun.
I" In view then of seniority of rank-of his long
and gallant services and Of his proficiency in all
that pertains to the skill aud discipline Of the SOL
dier, no man is more worthy OF the favorable con-
sideratiou Of our War Department.

Blockade OF The Southern Ports

WAsHlNGrOE, March j, lSOl.
learn that Lord Lyons, the British Minis
;cr. has officially notified the :ime'ican Gov.
..rnrnrnt that Great Britain will not recognise
a blockade of the southern ports, unless it is
thorough and ciftctual, and that the mere
anno,lnc .rnelt OF a blockade, in accordance
with the treaty Of Paris, sillnot be recognised.
In order 70 make the blockade of the
Southern ports thus complete, the American
Government must have vessels enough to
blockade every port, otherwise the British
Government will feel themselves compelled. in
ACCORDANCE with their engagements with other
powers, to disregard the restriction and carry
ON their commerce with the Southern ports
as If no such blockade had been announced.
It's understood that it is als2 the intention
OF NJ. Mercier, the French Minister, to i've
tie same notification to the Government i'll
regard to France, and that all the European
powers, in consequence ot the peculiar rela,
tons they have with the commerce of the
world, will likewise take advantage OF the
treaty Of Paris, and act in accordance wiki
the policy adopted by the French and English
Governments.
