the attention Of our readers to the ad-
yertisement Of Messrs. SIMPSON &

menare thorough mercantile men,and
will always be found atable, whether
called upon for information, or bust
ness transactions. We do not wish
any person to take our word for this,
but by calling at their place Of busi-
ness, the truthfUlness of our assertion
can be ascertained. Besides this thev
do not seem to fear the News viii kick

Rules ofMc Blocka1e.-Ihe Ma
a]Mn,elligencer, of the Sd inst,
has the following important informa-
tion concerning the blockade of the
Southern ports:
We learn that, on application made
by some of the Diplomatic corps at
the State Department, the following
points We're ascertaineu:
l. Vessels IN blockaded ports,
when the blockade took effect, will
be allowed u reasonable time to de-
part.
.. Vessels bringing en:igrants,
though they had no notice of the
blockade, will not be allowed to en-
ter blockaded ports. That class Of
persons come to the United States chief
1y to settle in the upper States on the
Mississippi it will be better for them
toenter an open port and thence make
their way to their destination rather
than encounter the damages and
casualties incident to the insurrec-
tionary condition Of the Gulf States.

To Young Soldiers.

Ho,c to- Prepare tor tie Campaigm.--
/" An Old Soldier" in one of orr cx-
changes makes the following pithv
hints to Young volunteers, and they
should be needed:
|. Remember that in Il campaien
more men die from sickness than from
the bullet.
9. Lincyotrblanketwitho one thick
ness OF brown drilling. This adds but
four ounces in weight and doubles the
warmth.
3. Buy Il small jnlia-rubber blan-
ket {on}y 81 50) to lay on the ground
or to throw over your shoulders when
on guard duty during rain-storm-
Most of the Eastern treeps are pro-
vided with these. Straw to lie upon
is not al~avste be had
4. The best military hat in use is
the light co'ored soft felt; the crown
being sufficiently high to allow spac.
for air over the brain. You can t;,s-
ten 1t up as Il continental in fair wealth
or, or turn il down when it is wet or
very sunny.
). Let your heard grow so as to
protect the throat and lungs.
8. Keep your entire person clean;
this prevents tevers and bowel com
plants in warm climate. Wash your
body each day if possible. Avoid
strong coffee and oily meat. Gener-
al Scott said that the too free use of
these together with neglect in keep
ing the skin clean,) cost many a sol
dier his life in Mexico.
7. \ sudden check ofperspiration by
chilly or nj ght air often causes fever
and death. When thus exposed, do >
not forget your blanket.

The following brave language we
find in the Courier, published at Sy-
racuse, n. Y. We glory in the edi-
tors pluck:
COERCION AT HoME.-Fanaticisn
is ripe in the streets OF Syracuse. A
despotism worse than any ever exer-
cised by Napoleon is about being in
augurated in the Saline city. The
Republican abolitonists, short time
since, intoxicated with success al the
election of Abraham Lincoln, have
now become insane at recent reverses.
Threats Of coercion Of democrats are
openly indulged in, and the Courier
and Union is to be ''nobhcd,' 'nuz-
zled' "guillotincd' and deprived of
the freedom Of speech! Runols We're
rife during the night Of Monday and
all day yesterday, coming from hot
headed Republican abolitionists, that
our Office should he 'nobbcd" and the
editor and publisher severely hand
led. We cannot conceive in what
manner we have offended against the
popular public sentiment, unless it be
by showing up the weakness and fol-
~ of the present administration, that
has submerged the country in civil
war, and brought disgrace upon our
flag III the eyes OF all Europe! There
are none more loyal to the constitu-
ton and the Union than those who
conduct the Courier and Union. Yet
ii will never lend its aid in justifying
such an l,nholy and unnecessary war
as the one now drawn upon us, against
the advice of one Of the best and the
most practical military men the world
has seeu since the days of Napoleon
and Washington. But we do not de-
sire to enlarge upon this subject. All
We have to say is that the ranters who
put out the threats had bcttc, let mt
the ,5ob Ly contract. The first attempt
at anything Of this sort would be the
dearest job TINT Il parcel of rowdi"s
and lawbrea<ers ever assembled for.
The city would see the hands"mest
c0tiNoa that ever was danced since the
invention of the Lancier's Quadrille!
If we are to write hereafter with a re-
volvcr at oar elbow, We hope some
friend Will send us Il "shooting IRON
and we will tender our due acknuwl- |
edgmcnts.

Mans Character.-We may judge
of "A mans character by what he loves
what pleases him. If person
manifests delight in low and sordid
objects-,he vnlgar song and debas-
ing language; in the mistortunes of
his fellows, or cruelty to animals, we
may at once determine the complex
ion of his true character. On the
contrary, if he loves purity, modesty,
truth-if virtous pursuits engage his
heart, and draw out his Affections
we are satisfied that he is an upright
man. A mind debased shrinks from
association with the good and wise.

May l. 1861.
Ny Dear F1lend-We are now in
camp and but poorly provided for at
that, though perhaps as well as posi-
bic. 1t has been raining for the last
two days ,and our tents leak; we sleep
on buIirush mats and cover with one
blanket. Our last fishing excursion
on Cross Lake, that terminated in IL
bailstorm was a foretaste Of what we
are now enjoying. There are some
half Il dozen of our number sick, viz:
Melville, Blackwell, Beall and some
others from the country who joined
the day we left. X
They have now laying outside OF
TT Pickens' 10 war vessels, and some
1900 men in the Fort. President
Davis las concentrated here 10000
men. Martial law has been proclaim
ed; We are under strict military dis
cipline. Gen. Bragg keeps all his
plans Il dead secret; it is supposed he
will make the attack about the 10Th
OF May. 1t is whispered that the
Yankees design attacking Pensacola.
Their object is to get possession OF
the Railroad. and cut off our supplies
through that channel.
We could have u tolerablv fine
time of It here, if we were only a lit
tie better protected from the heat of
the sun aud the pelting rain. \ beau-
titul beach is before Us, and there is
a cool sea-breeze all the time; can get
oysters at ten cents Il dozen: fish in
any quantity, rs cheap as We want
them. II we want a mess OF crabs.
all we have to do, is to go and catch
them. Yours, &c,

We close with a portion Of letter
from one who seems to take things as
they come with cheerful spirit. 1t
some member of the company could
find time to write, the News would be
pleased to publish matters of public
interest:
"Dcar lIotAer and .Sitcr.-Tlis Is
Sunday morning, but the diligence
with which we have TO labor throw
ing up sand-hanlls, inte.+i".. materi-
ally with the devotional reflections the
dav should inspire; and o,m occupa-
ton is rather suggestive Of the intc-
rior of an ant-hiil than Of one Of the
Shreveport churches. We have had
to work every Sunday since we left.
\ large number OF nortars for throw
ing shells, and one Dahl gren gun ar
rived this morning. and We have been
them from the cars to the
wharf, for the purpose of shipping
them to the Navy Yard. We work
fifty men OF our company on the sand
batteries every day; the other com
panies send about 200. Five compa-
MES Of Louisiana volunteers, our own
included. are stationed in Pensacola;
when the fight comes off, we will be
down to assist in the attack on Fort
Picllens, which is about eight miles
from here.
Gen. Bragg was here yesterday ,and
passed this battalion in review, he
complimented the Grays very hand
somely.
From the best information we can
gather, the attack will not commence
for some two weeks yet, unless the
i ederal troops attack us, which is,
think improbable.

ply is one OF it and is now pacing

lzet on his shoulder in front rs a sen
