The RIockade.

1t is argued in some quarters that the pol
icy of the Government in proclaiming block
ade of the Southern ports OF the Union, con-
tanned within itself the germs of difficulties
which it were desirable to avoid. A block
ade, it is said, is measure in which foreign
nations are concerned. They can inquire in
to it, and have right to insist that il shall
be executed in truly effective manner by a
sufficient naval force before the entrance to
every port.
II, instead of blockade, the Presidents
proclamation had simply declared the ports
of the rebellious region to be closed and no
longer potts OF entry, this difficulty would
have been avoided. Every nation has right
to indicate what ports shall be accessible TO
commerce, and, on proper notice, may close
and open them as it's own necessities shall re-
uuire. No foreign Power has any right to
ask whether port, which the National Gov
eminent has declared to be closed, is or is not
fully blackaded, nor any right to complain OF
the seizure and confiscation OF vessels at
tempting to enter such port. 1t is matter
of domestic policy with which foreigners have
no concern.
This would appear to be the view of Con-
eress, which has just enacted a law for clos
ing the ports of the whole Tebellious sea
coast. The President win, we presume, soon
issue the necessary proclamation enforcing
this law; and then the animated discussions
of the tereign journals on the subject of the
blockade and all the kindred topics will be
superogatory T. 7F7bune, 10Th dug,

astronomical Prediction ver,fied

Soon after the first appearance here, on the
1st of July, of the great comet, the astrono-
mers unanimously announced, as the result
of their calculations respecting its orbit, that
it must have been a bright and conspicuous
object to eyes in the Southern hemisphere in
the month of June. This prediction has been
confirmed by letter from DR.. Moesta, Direc-
tor of the Gillian National Observatory at
Santiago, dated June IL, Wherein he states
that brilliant comet h.i.i been visible
there since the beginning Of June. A COM
parison of is place in the heavens, as there
observed, shows that it was then following
the very path which our astronomers pre-
dicted it had done, after it became visible
here The prediction with regard to its
briliiancy and course among the Southern
stars has been triumphantly sustained.-Bos-
ton Courier.

RICHMOND, Va, July "a, 1861.

more properly between that place and Cen
treville-by South Carolina regiment, while
visiting the scene in company with United
States Senator Foster, OF Connecticut Five
hundred and ninety-four prisoners of war
were taken by the Confederates, and proba-
bly, many more. We are in Richmond, hav-
ing arrived last evening, and are in prison in
tobacco warehouse. The kindness and
courtesy of the military officers are unexeep-
tonable, and / feel assured that especial
kindness and attention to the wants and pri
vations of their prisoners who have unfortu.
nately fallen into our hands will be extended

The circumstances of my own capture at this

who have been taken prisoners of war, and
who now surround me as / write. / am IN
able to learn from the prisates here whether
any of the officers of the Thirteenth regiment

Another Mn, for Federal Judge.

In March last Colonel Van DoRN, OF the
Confederate Army, captured several nunoreo
Federal soldiers in Matagorda Bay, Texas
On their surrender they were required &c
,aks an oath not to serve against the Confed
crate States, which they took, and were re
leased. They were conveyed to Fort ham
iltou. New York, and are now there IN the
limited States service as regular soldiers. A
few days ago 200 of them sued out Wit o
Aassu. corpus with view of being discharged
alleging that their oath absoiSes them IRON
whatever service they owed to the Govern
ment.
The writ was duly served upon the orneeI
in charge of Fort Hamilton, who, catching
a glance at the formidable array OF names
declined to have anything to do win 1t. Tne
writ was consequently returned unsaiished
Counsel has since written to the Secretary Of
War upon the subject, but as yet has received
no answer. Thus the difficulties of the Fed
erals consequent upon their refusal to recog-
nize us as bellgerants, flock thick upon
them.
