NUMBER 544
The blockade.

The London Economist states in late
number, that it receives numerous letters
almost daily, urging the British Govern
ment to break the blockade of the Southern
ports. That journal replies at length to all
such urging, by affirming that the right of
blockade belongs to all beligerents, and for
England to insist that the United States
shall abandon the blockade, would be neith-
er more nor less than declaration Of war!
A beligerent power has the right TO en-
ploy any recognised mode of warfare to
conquer or subdue its'enemy. This block
ade is the most effective mode within the
grasp of the United States and to cause it
10 be raised would be simply wrenching
from their hands their most formidable
weapon. II would be just the same as if
England we're to insist upon the United
States fighting the South with ri6ed cannon
or MIME muskets To interfere In The
blockade would be to interfere in the war
TO foregO the nentI al position which Eng
land processes TO have assumed. and become
therefore responsible for the conditions of
peace.
"If the United States can blockade the
Southern ports so as TO prevent any cotton
leaving them, they have just as unquestion-
able right TO do so, as they have to shoot
Southern soldiers, or to capture Southern
privateers, or to destroy Southern proper
ty. If the Federal army entered the plant
ing States, and burned every bag of cotton
stored or growing there, they would be
merely exercising the habitual and un-
doubted privileges of war; We might call
them brutes aud rufiians, but we should
have no claim of redress, and no legal COM
plant against them. We want the cotton,
and we are willing to buy it but it does
not belong to us, but 10 the secessionists,
their foes. If then, they might destroy the
cotton, a fortiOri they may confscate it, seal
it up, lay an embargo upon it. The same
argument which would warrant us in de-
manding that the cotton shall be allowed
to come forward because we need it and
cannot do without it, if pushed one step fur
ther would justify us 10 seziug it by force
from its owners if they refused to sell it 10
us--as it is affirmed by some they intend to
do. Nay more it would almost warrant
us in insisting on the negroes growing cot
ton for our use, so long as their masters de.
sire them to do so. For if the urgency Of
our needs is an excuse for one act of un-
lawful interference and coercion, why not
for another"

THE ANTI-CHNEsE.- The Anti-Cooley
Association of San Francisco, has issued an
address to the people of California in Oppo-
stion TO the emigration of Chinese among
us. The Association recommends that the
Chinese be driven out of the State, and all
immigration Of that class stopped by the
passage OF an Act providing for gradually
increasing license tax upon all Mongolians

at first this tax shall not be large, it shall
be increased periodically, until it amounts
to o complete prohibition.

ARREST OF GwIN & Co. AT PANAMA
The Panama Star, of Nov, 9th, gives some
particulars of the arrest of Gwin, Benham,
and Brent at Panama:
On finding they were arrested. Gwin and
his companions went to their state-rooms
and threw overheard everything that might
implicate them, including earpet-bag,
sundry maps and papers which we're seen
floating away asteTn. Capt. Pearson Of
fered to put back to pick up the documents
but General Sumner thought it unnecessary.
On the arrival of the steamer at Panama
the United States Consul endeavored to dis
suade General Sumner from transporting
his prisoners across the Isthmus, and the
Governor sent GO armed police TO stop
them. The prisoners were conducted 10 the
cars through a double row of 458 United
States soldiers, armed with rifles loaded with
ball cartridges. The police, of course, Of
fered no resistance. 1t is said that the pro-
ceedng has excited deep hatred against the
United States among those who were for
merly friendly. Gwin and Benham had
only tickets for Panama, intending to go
to Havana and take the steamer for Eng
land.

SINGULAR Notwithstanding TO q
discovery just made. some one must have
alighted upon the Salmon River mines a
long time ago, and made good thing of it.
A Mr.. Block just from there, mentions o
circumstance connected with these mines
which remains a mystery. A set of sluice-
boxes were discovered about ten miles from
town, and small creek partially worked
out. Nobody seems to know how or when
they were used 1t is supposed the Nor
mons at some period used them, as they
had settlement some sixty miles from Sal
mon River, or others who we're killed by
the Indians.

TIE BERMUDA.-The New York Tribune's
correspondence contains the following i'm
portant facts respecting the English steam
er Bermuda, which recently ran the block
ade into Savannah:
The captain is named Tessiere, and lives
in Savannah. An English sea captain was
on board also, who took command when
other vessels were 10 sight. Her orders
were TO make Fort Hatteras and hoist q
private signal which would be answered,
and If not answered to go 10 Savannah
She made Hstteras and hOisted her signal
which was not answered, causing great
alarm. Just then an English war vessel
hove in sight, and she represented TO them
that she was in distress, being out Of water,
aud there learned that For. Hatteras was
in the hands of the Federal forces She
then made for Savannah. She made Tybee
light at 2 A. NJ, ran by the fort, and seeing
no vessels, pat about and ran in. She was
met off the light by flotilla, which escort
ed her up to the city amid the ringing OF
bells and the firing OF guns, Her cargo
was l8 large rifie-guns, 2 Wbitworth 124
pouuders, one o! which was Immediately
sent to New Orleans, 1900 Enfield rifles,
$4,000 Belgian rifles, with fixed ammuni-
tion to all of them, 10000 overcoats, be-
sides quiBine, morphine, thread, needles,
etc. A return cargo of cotton was pre-.
pared for her, which she commenced TO
take aboard, but the populace stopped it,
saying she should take no cotton to Eng
land. She was loaded and ready for sea on
the 4th of this month, with a cargo of rice,
naval stores, and few bales of cotton.
Two other vessels, with similar cargoes,
were daily expected from England.

seizure OF SIidcII and Mason.

The S. f. Herald has the following com
ments on the seizure of the rebel Commis.
sioners:
The more we reflect on the circumstan-
ces attendant upon the arrest OF Mason and
Slidell, the more we are disposed to think
that the act Of Com. Wilkes will be acqui-
esced in by the British Government. II we
are not mistaken in our understanding Of
the matter, the British West India Mail
steamer Fingal, upon which vessel the reb-
els sought refuge, was detected in The act
of carrying arms and munitions Of war for
the rebel States. Captain Hunter, of the
steamer Delta, which arrived at Boston on
the 10th instant, reported that the Fingal,
when at Bermuda, transferred o cargo Of
arms TO the rebel steamer Nashville, which
had run the blockade with Mason and Sill
dell, etc. Now, II we can rely upon the
statement, Commodore Wilkes would have
been justified by the law of nations in seiz-
ing the Fingal as we'll as the two rebel
Commissioners. The commanders Of the
West India Mail steamers are all, it is un-
derstoOd, officers Of Her Majesty's navy, so
the Captain of the Fingal, which, by the
way, runs under government charter, can
not set up the plea of ignorance in relation
to this illicit business. There would have
been no doubt as to the right of Commo.
dore Wilkes to seize the Fingal had she
been a merchant vessel, and we should
think that there would be as little question
of the right in regard to a steamer in the
official service OF the government. Indeed,
we should not be surprised if the comman-
der Of the Fingal be reprOved for carrying
a cargo which was contraband of war. His
official position only gave more henous
character to the crime. If the commander
of a regular man.of-war in the English ma
Wy were to employ his ship in smuggling
arms into the rebel ports, his act would un-
questionably be one of open hostility
against the U. S. Government for which
England would be held responsible.

merchants are surprised and disgusted at

over to the rebel treasury what they owe to
Northern merchants. They expected to
