the following irlf a,rn1ation from the ash
iingtoa Star of Thursday evening last,
which is Che latest paper recsired from
that point The Star is one Dff Idncoln's
minor organs, and, we presume, keeps
pretty well posted up in the eosrcion
movements again Sc the South. g Ihe threat:
tnat not a bale of cotton will find its way

navies Of gland and France ride the.

We learn thai dozen vessels of Com

fifty war vessels of various deselipt
accompanied by. sufficient steam tFalis-
ports for the aceoynnod dation of a land
force at least 20, ,0G0 G0sstrong. Thus twill
prove sufficient to make an efficient block
ade Of. every inlet on the Southern coast
into which any vessel drawing six feet Of
water might otherwise enter, while It will
devolve on the disunion authorities the
necessity of skeepin in arms feeding, &c.,
distinct armies sufficient to cope with the
land forces accompanying It. in or near
Norfol Charleston, SavannaE, Pensaco-

an aggregate of 120, 600 troops Stationed
for the protection of 6hose imp portantlI
points alone.
- The operations of the feet alone thus
bid fair to monopolize the attentioa of all
The military force the disnnio ionists can pos
,sibly keep in the field, unless they pro-
pose to abandon to the United States the
cities we name above. That not a hals
of cotton or q cargo of tho other Southern
production can seek a market through
any Southern port is to become a fixed
fact within one month from this day !; q
and without the proceeds Of the sale of :
their crops the disunio onists will have no.
means whatever Of procuring military
supplies Of any description; for they5do
not sproduce or manufact ctnre them, it will
be remembered, and their wealth is by no
means in moneS

universal admiration for their fine bear

were at the extreme rear. and out of heal.-
ing of the music.
In the afternoon, The Congarec Mount

honorary and volunteer, paraded, and
went through their eyolutions to the7sat-
isflction ofla large crowd of spectato tors
The Butler Guards also had a parade. T
The correspondence between Seward
and the Governor of New York shows
the ntentions Of the Lincoln Government
to wage a protracted war-a war of sub
jugation.
They are determined to retake-or st
least try to retal1e a Il the posts and forts
that have been captured. The Richmond
EaqQirel, hears that General Scott, on
Tuesday last, toldsa distinguished citiizon
Of Virginia, most nhequiyo yocally, that the
Lincoln Government intended to eretako

FROM PENsAcoI. here ARE about
5000 Confederate troops at: Pensacola.
The work of erecting batteries at all
points within reach goes on briskly and
assiduously, though. it is understood that
they still lack some days of preparation
to enable them to open effectively The
unfinished gapin the railroad to Mont
gon,ery, will be closed up by the gt!h Of
May, which will enable our vefnment
to transport some heavy siege artillery
which is greatly needed. About tweIlf
Columbiads, most of Them Of eiglt-iilicn
