Hurra! for the Blockade.

Flour has fallen dollar and half a bar.
rel, and fresh beef is lower than it has been
in this market for ten years; thanks to Lin
coins blockade. Keep it up for some time.
most noble Gorilla. 1t is just what we resi-
dents and can't getaways have been wanting
for some years. The effects of this blockade
have been beneficial in many respects. We
rejoice, especially, in its operation upon
those heartless spectators who sought to
forestall our market by buying up all the
provisions in the City, and holding them for
a big rise. This Villainy had been laid be-
fore the Governor, and steps were about to be
taken to correct it, by summary action on
the part of the authorities, or the people,
when, most seasOnably and kindly, Poore
came with the Brooklyn and saved US all this
trouble, by blockading the mouth of the
river. Thus, all export being stopped, both
up and down the river, we have an abund-
ance of erything that is produced between
the Ohio and Missouri rivers, and the Gulf
OF Mexico. The effect on Texas cattle is par
tieuiarly interesting. Large droves of these
cattle have hitherto been driven Horthward
into Missouri, and even into Illinois; and eV-
en- those which were sent hither had to COM
pete with the better conditioned cattle of the
West. Hence the supply was comparatively
small. But now, having no other market,
aud being without competition, the Texans
are all driving their cattle to New Orleans,
not only supplying this market at very rea-
sonable rates-cheaper, in fact, than the
rates in the Northern cities-but furnishing
enough to send to the river towns, as far as
Memphis. No less than two hundred head of
these cattle were sent In that direction few
DAYS ago. It is established now, beyond all
doubt OF uncertainty, that the yield of corn
will far exceed the demands of the South,
and new -four will be 10 market in a few DAYS
in the greatest abundance. We may have
less hog meat than we have heretofore had,
but whether that will prove loss or incon-
venience remains to be proved.-M D. Delta.

The United States War Expenses.

The debt which the war will entail upon
the United States promises to be enormous.
The N Y. World in the following para
graph gives some Indication of it:
Congress may "a well make up Its mind
at once for funded debt such as the country
1asr.r ud sqac But this ought not really to
excite any very deep concern at the time
of the first call for troops the government,
owed about one hundred millions. Allowing
two hundred millions for the expenses of put
ting down the rebelliOn-wbich is a very
large estimate-aGd fifty millions to cover all
peace deficits, we shall have national debt
of lire hundred and fifty millions"
Where is the two hundred millions to be
had to pay the expenses of the war? That
sum cannot be raised in the North. as we
have already had ample evidence in the bids
for the Government loan. The truth is, the
money is not there. The wealth of the NCrth
has been acquired from their connections with
the South. As Mr. STEPHENS justly says, 1t sis
not in the productions of their soil. 1t con-
sists mostly in their commerce, their ship
ming. their trade, their Manufactures their
soindles, their looms, their foundries, their
FORCES. their inventions, and their thousand
and one contrivances for supplying the wants
and the markets of the South They sold to
the South annually not less than $3.50 OOO,-
COG worth of manufactures of varOns kinds,
besides the enormous profits accruing 10 their
shin owners from being our carriers while
they exported to all the world besides not
exceeding s4O.GOO.OOO. Their machinery is
fitted only to manufacture supplies snited to
our wants. They knew our wants and were
prepared to supply them, and were not pre-
pared to supply those of any other people,
Most of what they made for US will suit no
other people," All these sources OF their
former prosperity and wealth are now almost
without value. They are yielding nothing
now and will yield nothing of moment here
after. With them Northern wealth is sacri-
feed and when the war is over the peopl"
will End entailed upon them debt which
they Can never pay.

ONE THING AT THEY'VE learn that
some of our friends in the Legislature OF
Connecticut contemplate discussing, if not
adopting, the COrwin amendment to the Con-
situtiOn OF the United States. We trust they
will pardon US for suggesting that the sub
Ject might as well be postponed for the pres
ent. In the first place, the nation is now
engaged in a struggle of fearful magnitude,
in which its right to have any Constitution
at all Is at issue.-N. Y. Tribune
We believe that last statement of the Abo-
litiOn organ is a true one. If the policy
already initiated by the President, and en-
dorsed by the Tribune, of trampling on the
Constitution, by overriding all of its funda-
mental principles and declarations, is to be-
come the settled policy OF this government,
then indeed the question whether the people
are to be permitted ito have any Constitution
at all, ;" IS the question Eat issue" And it is
time that the people of the North should so
understand it.
The struggle in which the Tribune is en-
barked, is a struggle to abolish SLavery, by a
war OF invasion. This is the object of the
AbOlitionists proper, with whom the Tribune
sympathises. But is this the policy of the
President aud the Republican party? If it is
not, let them say SO. The Corwin amend
ment simply declares that Congress has no
authority to abolish slavery in the States,
Now let the Republican professions be car
ried into practice. Let the people know that
war is not carried on for Abolition purposes.
The opposition OF the Tribune to the Corwln
amendment gives just cause for suspicion
that the object it has in view is not SO much
to save the Union as to promote the settled
plans of the AbOlitionists. The vote in our
Legislature upon the amendment will show
now the Republicans of that body view this
important questiou.-Hartford( Conn., Times.

The Bethel Fight.

Our gallant volunteers covered themselves
all over with glory at the battle of Bethel
Church on Monday last. Though less in
number to their adVersaries of at least three
to one, they routed them with tremendous
slaughter, and drove them in CONSERVATION
from the field. The loss of the enemy in
killed and wounded cannot be less, according
to their own accounts, than from five hundred
to one thousand We think the last number
will prove nearest to the mark. 1t will
doubtless be some time before Picayune But
Ter makes another of his piratical expeditions
into the interior of Virginia Indeed his
hired mercenaries will not long be permitted
to come outside the walls of Fortress Monroe.
1t Is said that great blame Is attached by
the North to Col. Pierce, who commanded the
abolition forces at Bethel Church, because ne
did not run sooner than he did. We have no
doubt the Yankees will run much sooner next
tlme.-Lyuchburg Republican.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1861.
Hon. w. HI. Wisener.

This gentleman, the Representative in the
been one of the most devoted adherents of
the Union in this division of the State, stated
in the House yesterday evening, on motion
to print the Governors message, that he had
opposed the measures to take Tennessee out
of the Union. He had thought those meas
ures were wrong; that Tennessee should not
participate in the struggle going on between
the two sections; but that the people of the
State and his own immediate constituents
had decided against his views. He said he
had rendered his res gnation to the Governor,
but it was not accepted, and hence be was in
his seat. He was present to give his support
to all measures calculated to sustain the
State, and to carry her through the struggle
In which she had assumed her part, and was
ready to vote for the printing of any number
of copies of the message that might be deemed
appropriate.
We trust this worthy example will be at
once initiated by the late friends of the
Union throughout the State The vote of the
Sth inst, the act of the sovereign power OF
the Commonwealth, has separated US from
all political association with the Government
of our enemies of the North, and the only al
Tentative left US is either to acquiesce in the
expressed will OF the people and sustain it,
or to oppose it and join its armed enemies.
We hope there is no patriot who will hest
tate to choose the former. We are now in
theory and fact at war with the Northern
one or the other. Let US have now but one
voice and but one ARMAND let that voice
and arm be raised alone in defence Of the
State and the South

Important InteIligence

Decisive events are evidently at the door,
On Wednesday evening strong body of Fee
deral troops took possession of the village of
Romney. and menace Winchester. If they get
possession of the latter town they will cut off
our communications. Three hundred of our
militia hold possession of a point called
Hanging Rock, about thirteen miles from
Winchester, on the way to Romuey. Two
thousand Confederate troops arrived at Win
chester from Harper's Ferry on Thursday.
and at last advices were about to proceed
towards Romney.
This is all the Information really reliable
that is to be had at this moment relative to
the movement. They indicate speedy action.
Whether blow at Harper's Ferry is the true
object of the enemy, or whether the occupa-
ton of Romney and the menace of General
Johnson's command is not rather intended as
a diversion, while an avalanche of troops is
about to rush from Alexandria on our po-
sition at Manassas Junction. is a question
which the Confederate Generals have now TO

life, bis home and bis all, as sacrifice upon
his country's altar. 1t is the embodiment of
all Others Truth, honor, fidelity, integrity,
fillial affection. parental devotion, domestic
attachments, ties to home and the hearth
stone, and all the ennobling sentiments that
dignity man, would have no existence with
out country Those institutions which fos-
ter them, in which they terminate, grow and
bring the richest fruits, all depend upon that
disinterested patriotism which animates the
volunteers breast. Such men must be, and
will be, sustained The means and the re-
sources necessary to do it are in the country.
They must and will be had. If not by a loan
bearing interest, as proposed. they will be
reached by taxation, where there will be
neither interest nor principal returned.
If the loan is not made as proposed, or in
some other way, the whole amount of the
S50,000,000 to meet the wants of the year, as
well as the future millions to meet the wants
OF succeeding years as long as the war lasts,
will have to be, and will be raised by taxa
ton. Should not the planters and the prop
erty holders on whom the burthen must tall,
come forward cheerfully and cooperate with
the Government in this financial scheme,
which in the end will work SO advantageous
ly to them?
The country must be sustained. Every
one agrees to this. Our all depends upon it,
Constitutional liberty depends upon it. The
parpetuatlon of the grand idea of self-gOvern-
ment announced by our sires and grandsires
in '76 depends npOn it. The hopes of man
kind and the world depend upon it. Then,
people OF Wilkes, come forward willingly,
periodically and zealously to the great work.
1t is fitting that this appeal should be m ode
to you here first, You occupy revolutionary
ground. Twas here your revolutionary sires
erected the standard of independence while
il was yet almost a wilderness. Twas here
they periled everything dear to them, not
only portion of their crops, but everything
they possessed in the world in defense OF
Constitutional liberty for themselves and for
their posterity. They were not situated as you
are, surrounded with the comforts of wealth
and elegancies of life. They were poor, with
the Indian savage close by, and beset all
around by rOyalists and tories. They risked
their all for their country-for that cause
the success of which has made you what you
are. Here in the woods they erected fort
to which to rally when driven from their
homes. To that fort they gave the name of
Washington, the first place on the continent
to which was given the name of him who af
forwards was so justly styled ''the Father of
his Country" The principles they fought
for under WashingtOn's lead are again in
danger. Will you with all your means be
less ardent now in their support than were
your fathers in the days of their weakness
and their poverty?
