The Blockade.

The traitor Davis has issued his
proclamation offering lettcrs-of-mar-
que, inviting all persons disposed to
commit piracy, to seize and confiscate
the mercantile ships and cargoes, the
private property of loyal citizens.
Lincoln promptly gave orders to shut
up every rebel scaboard town, and
permit nc more vessels, coastwisc or
ocean-bound, to enter. The weight
of this blow upon the insurgents a
hardly be estimated. If the order be
vigorously executed, grass will soon
grow in the streets of Charleston,
Savannah, Mobile, Galveston, New
Orleans, and even Baltimore, if she
don't behave herself. All commerce and
trade in these cities will cease. They
will be literally sufiocated to death.
No more revenue will be collected at
any secession port during the contin-
uancc of this war. All moneys must
hereafter be raised by direct taxation
or forced loans. The products of the
South will be forced to seek interior
routes to loyal ports !; and what is
more, the rebels from now forward,
will be able to purchase such articles
only as the Government shall permit
them to have. No more arms, am
munition or military munitions can be
obtained North of Mason & Dixon.
They will be put on short rations,
unless they al eat their cotton seed.
Hard times, heavy taxes, forced loans
and hopeless p%rostration Of trade, will
press down upon the traitors. But
these Affections will be light. COM
pared to some of the horrors of war
which will overtake them. They have
aroused a people slow to anger but
terrible in their wrath, who will smite
them until they ground the weapons
of their rebellion, and return to their
allegiance to the Constitution and the
Union. There will be neither truce
nor peace until this wicked rebellion
is crushed. JEFF. Davis and his des-
peratc confederatcs will be made to
rue the day on which they declared
var against the private property of
Northern citizens, and issued their
piratical warrants to rovers. They
will be taught that peculiar proper
ty" on land, is as much exposed as
ships and cargoes at sea-.

A gentleman from New Orleans
says that the greatest exertions were
being made there to secure volunteers.
A bounty Of twenty dollars was offer
ed, and two dollars extra to any per-
son securing a recruit. This would
be a paying business here at the
North, where the chief difficulty is to
make room for the men that are offer
ing their services. The women and
children were pouring into the city
from the interior to avoid the apprc-
hended danger of slave Instructions.

When the Virginia commissioners
called on the President to ascertain
his policy, before they should pass
their ordinance of secession, his reply
was substantially that he should IN
deavor to hold, occupy and possess
the property and places belonging to
the Government, and collect duties on
imports, but it was not his purpose to
use force except when necessary for
these objects. He said:
An unjustifiable assault has been
made upon Sumpter. | shall repress
it if I can, and take places which have
been seized. I shall to the best of
my ability, repel force by force. II
the war news proves true. | shall
probably withdraw the mails from the
seeded States. Iconsider the forts and
other property in these States yet be-

not attempt to collect duties by
armed invasion. don't mean to say
however, that | may not land forces
to relieve forts.

about the mails.

The Wonders of a Week.

1t is only one brief week since the
Lightning brought the sad news of the
fail of Sumptcr, and the grievous in
suit to the national flag. The blow
that fellcd the stars and stripes, blot,
ted out p~artizanship, and united TWEEN
ty million of frccmcn into a solid pha-
lanx. A cry of vengeance rose over
the land, to be placated only by the
utter subjugation Of the Constitution
and the nation. A solemn vow to
Heaven was taken by three millions
of fighting men, that the parricides
must be stricken down, and the
damning insult atoncd in blood.
What history has been made be.
tween two Sabbaths 4! One week ago
the people seemed sunk in indiffer-
cnce, absorbed in pursuit of mammon,
divided into partizan factions. Be-
hold the marvellous change seven
days hath wrought Could miracle
do more? The worlds history fur
nishes no sublimer manifestation of
exalted patriotism, or more ~fervent
devotion to liberty.
A wal has begun not of conquest
and acquisition, but to defend the life
of American Nationality, the suprema-
cy of the law ever anarchy, and the
existence of our bcneiicient Govern
ment. loyalty and treason will
arms. The strength of Lib
crty and Union will be tried against
despotism and secession. One or the
other must perish by the sword. The
Constitution of George Washington
or the Constitution of jeff. Davis must
be the supreme law Of the land.
We wal not against the people OF
the South but against the enemies OF
the Union, wherever they may be
found-wliether in Chicago, Charles
ton, New Orleans or San Francisco.
The place is nothing ; it is the overt
act, the deed of treason, the attempt
at violent subversion of a peaceful
and righteous government, that causes
loyal men to put Oh their IN and
go forth to smitc the parricidal foe.
If a week has wrought such won
ders, what will a year accomplish
