The BLoCKADE.-Captain Livingston, Of the
United States steamer Penguin, has been rem.
dering important service on the coast of North
Carolina. In an official report, made to the
Navy Department, he mentions that he had
been on board Of two prizes, captured by an
other Of our vessels, while they were on their
way to New York.
1t appears that one vessel is not sufficient off
Cape Fear, for there are two passes, perhaps
forty miles apart; but whatever deficiency
there may be in keeping up an effective block
ade will doubtless soon be remedied-as soon
as the vessels for that purpose can be pre-
pared.
The steamer Penguin chased "Confeder-
ate schooner, which came out from Whining.
ton, loaded with timber, to be taken to the
West Indies to be exchanged for coffee. She
was within the guns of the Penguin, but nc
fire was opened upon her. She chose the
means for her own destruction by running
ashore, where the sea broke over her. and she
filled and wrecked.

PARsoN BRowNLow's TREATNENr.-The loyal
and fearless editor Of the Knoxville (Tennessee)
Wing, thus tells the story of his wrongs:
Our exchange papers are kept back and not
allowed to come to Knoxville. Our letters are
broken open and robbed, in all directions !;
and our newspaper packages are laid aside or
destroyed, 80 as to keep them out of the hands
Of our Subscribers. At Cumberland Gap, OF
the ONCE near there, we are informed upon re
liable authority there Is large pile Of letters,
TO say nothing OF papers, addressed to us,
which seceaionists will not allow to come for
ward. These letters, no doubt, mostly from
Kentucky, contain several hundred dollars for
subscriptions At Bristol, we are informed,
our paper 10 thrown aside and not allowed to
20 further East. One contemptible puppy,
who fills the digni6ed position Of route agent
on the railroad, boasted In this city that be in
tended to destroy the papers cent out by him
because they were incendiary sheets. Similar
acts Of perfdy are committed all over the coun.
try by . set Of unprincipled Williams who han.
die mail matter.
In this the boasted freedom Of the press, Of
speech, and of conscience, we hear Of in the
new Southern Confederacy! And does this
freedom, guaranteed by the Constitution Of
Tennessee unrepealed as yet, enter into this
war for Southern rights and Independence? II
90, may God deliver US, and our Union coun-
trymen, from such freedom, and from the en-
joyment of such rights!

INTERCEPTED LrrTERs.-The public have al
ready been made acquainted with the fact that
Mr.. Muir was recently arrested at New York
on the eve Of his departure for Europe, and that
in bis possession was found a mailbag contain
ing letters from Southern correspondents, ad-
dressed, for the greater part, to England.
These letters have, by order, been forwarded
to Washington, where some Of them have un.
dergone perusal. From what we hear, they
are as earnest in praise Of JEFF. Davis and the
Southern Confederncy, and the foe agricultural
and political prospects Of the rebels, as they
are abusive Of President Lincoln and the Uni.
ted States Government, and Of the Yankee,
generally. One Of the writers, at least, speaks
with confndece Of the recognition of the South.

Mr.. NELSON NOT DIscHARGED.--Hon. Mr.. Mel
son, of Tennessee, lately arrested on a charge
Of treason, was brought to Richmond on the
10th instant in charge Of sixty Confederate
soldiers, and committed to Jail.
Mr.. Nelson was elected to Congress by an
overwhelming vote, by constituency who
desired to be represented at Washington, and
this constitutes bis treason. In crossing from
Rogersvlle to Kentucky, few days ago, be
was arrested in Lee county, Virginia, by an
armed military force of thirty men, which
should be recorded as one Of the most gallant
exploits of the rebellion. He was then taken
to Richmond, and will remain in jail until he
can be tried for treason against the Southern
Confederacy, by secession judges. before seces-
sion jurors, and upon the testimony Of seces-
sion witnesses.

FORWARD To RICHMOND!

The National Inteaigencer, of Saturday, de.
clares, n set terms, that, 30 far as Virginia has
been invaded, 1t has been done with view to
the defence Of the capital, and to the dispersal
of the hostile force collected in its immediate
neighborhood. The Intelligencer, in that decla-
ration does not speak for either the Presidest
or the country, whose objects have far more
extended range: nothing short, indeed, Of the
restoration Of the national authority in every
part Of Virginia and Of the whole South, and
irrespective of the defence Of Washington, or
of the army OF Gen. Beaursgard at Manassas
The Inteuigencer can explain, at its leisure, for
whom 1t does speak. r
Forward to Richmond! That was and Is the
instructive cry Of patriotism everywhere, and
no military bluudering at Bull Run will silence
it. 1t came directly from the popular healt
and not q moment too soon, and is now .,
necessary as ever, If there really is anybody
for whom the Inteuigencer is authorized to speal
as 1t did on Saturday.

FUaIr1vE SLAvEs.-A letter to the editors
Of the Intelligencer, from st. Aary's county,
Maryland, dated August Is, says:
There Ia quite rush to our shore of the
blacks from Virginia. On Tuesday morning
last, q batteau, In which there were ten likely
negroes, was stranded on Corn6eld Point. They
got safe to land, and were taken up by the
neighborhood patrol, and last night, I believe,
they were taken back to Virginia. Is not this
against q law Of Congress recently passed !
Virginia, who was 20 sensitive about losing q
single fugitive slave that she joined In this un.
natural rebellious var, IL now having her ne
groes escaping by hundreds" ..
If these fugiHvss were arrested BY ths army
patrol, they trauscended their duty, and com.
mitted an act ss reasonable as though they
had returned to the enemy any other kind oi
contraband property. Slaves are the muscles
and sinews of the rebels and are used against
us with as much force as they can be, and every
one captured or retained weakens the power ol
the enemy, and strengthens our own hands.

The CALL FOR ADDITIONAL TR0oPs.-The
"Contederates are evidently congrstulating
themselves that they are going to have their
own way in the war They are acting like the
robber lying in wait for his victim They are
likely to be disappointed in their calculations.
The energy Of our Government is aroused to
guard against every possible scheme of the en-
emy.
Only Sunday, the War Department issued
a call for additional troops, and already the
responses from the Governors addressed are
in the highest degree gratifying We may,
therefore, soon expect large reinforcements.
The people will doubtless rally to the sup.
port of their Government, when they see 1t
thus engaged in measures not only for the de
fence of the capital, but for every interest Of
the United States.

A New AIARN.-Yesterday's Tribune has .
double loaded dispatch from this city to the
effect that Davis designs TO cross the Potomac
into St. Mary's and Charles counties, Maryland,
seize the Annapolis railroad, and 50 aurround
Washington. The .tory Is all Imagination from

Charles counties, rising Of the negroes is much
more probable than rising Of the secesaionista,
and the sum total Of their white population does
not exceed that Of decent New England town

It Is to be made by neither. The rebels are
