Il is said that there is small battery further up,
which would probably offer little or no resistance on
the approach Of the feet. Once in direct eommuhl'
cation with Charleston and Savannah is secured by
tbe railroad between the two cities, and consequently
with all the South. There being fine commercial
facilities there, cotton port would be open to the

bockaded. IT is through the numerous nlets in th'
neichborhooi Of Charleston and Savannah that th'
vessels enter and depart, though we never hear
their carrying cotton. No provision has been made
for the blockade of these nlets. The Iheodora, VIII
Mason and Sdell on board did not 20 out OF Charles
ton harbor, nor did the Bermuda enter Savanna
harbor; but both steamers found passage througt
somc of the numerous incis that serve as shunpke'
10 those haIbors. The spigeots and the places o
leakage have not yet received the attention they
deserve.
