And what is more, the or!er will be

patched to tlie harbors Of rebel seaports.
Besides the regular government war ves-
sels, scores Of fclipper ships and stout steam
ers will be chartered Immediately by the
Government, and sent to those insurgent
ports where' they will be anchored. By
eioslng up the ports, the rebels will be
struck a terrible blow, one which they are
utterly powe-less to repel. The loyal men
command the sea. From this date until
the end Of the rebellion, no ship will be
allowed to enter rebel ,harbor. They are
completely cutoff from all intercourse with
the outer world. ALL their cotton and
other products will hereafter find egress
over the railroads. and water courzes of
the interior which lead to the Eastern
cities. This trade will compensate the
loyal citizens in some measure for the
losses inflicted upon them by secession.
