Raising the Blockade.


This important subject is handled in
all Imaginable ways BY our intelligent
contemporaries of the South, and, so
far as We have observed, they all look
to foreign powers to oaccoulplish this
end. In fact. it would appear that
we are now to look longer at home
for attempts to do away with the
blockade, hut. on the contrary, the
cry is our cotton must be had by
Europe, we need not exert ourselves,
France or England win interfere in
our behalf, and it will not be long
before they raise the blockade. We
feel pained to note such expressions,
coming as they do from native born
citizens Decidedly opposed are we
to such q policy !; it does not becone.
It's a. Southerners; it is neifher'dem-
ocratic, nor characteristic OF true
Southrons, and should not BE- encour-
aged, but rather discountenanced. 1t
is plain acknowledgment of what is
not so--our incapability Of srcceed-
ing in prosecuting The present war Of
independence. Can any Reasonable
individual gaipsav this. MOI! It is
too palpable.
Nothing ~'d;ild please ss better

effort; if ~ = fail, it cannot hereafter,
be thrown in our faces that we made
no move in that direction, depending
solely eM others to take it in hand
While battling for Independence let
lis show 10 the world that We are IN
dependent. If England or any other
power desires breaking the blockade,
well and good, by no means though,
let oyertures be made to them by
our people.

low body Of water. so miles long and
from ten to twenty-five. miles wide.
1t is exposed to al the dangers and
inconveniences a'liich are peculiar to
that part of our Atlantic coast, and
which i'll fact, make it the terror of
nayigators. When 1.-The equinoctial
season comes, as socn-it will, and the
winter surt beats in all its. fury up
on its beach, Hatteras will prove tp
It's captors anything else than COM
Portable and profitable possession.
All that they. can do in the meantime
is to annoy the opposite shore across
the Sound with piiatical boat expedi-
tons when they think they can do so
with safety. -
Although Of no actual value to
the Yankees, Hatteras is wort'Ssome-
thing to the Confederates as a point
to intereept-with privateers. Northern
vessels engaged IN the West India,
Mexican and South American trade:
Many captures have recently been
made in Il vicinity, and paid hand
somely. 1t will, however, be an ex-
ceedingly difficult, if. not altogether
impracticable job, TO retake it, III con-
sequence Of its distance FROM the
mainland Apd the command of the
waters around it by the Yankee feet.
If the Confederate es could land sufs
ticcnt force on the island, they would
.ooI; have full possessionofi They
may possibly be able to devise some
fcasible-plan ofreaehing it, but they
must be quick about it if such a
movement rs contemplated.
One thing, at all events, Will have
20 be done. An army will have to
be sent down to the inland coast to
protect it against predatory eNcur-
s;ons--tlethievish Il boat raids--which
viii be made across the Sound by the
Yankee pir~tes as soon as they es-
tlblish themselves on the. sand bank
which they have seized. We pre-
sumo that the North Carolina and
Confederate Governments will, of
course, have Il special eyeto this mat
/ ter. And just here we may remark,
that in view Of this Hatteras affair,
md of the immense ascendancy of.

State South of Virginia, with an cX-
tensive seaboard, ought forthwith to.
