Correspondence Of the New York Journal Of Commerc-
The Southern Blockade.


The remarks of Lord John Russell upon the
subject of the American difficulties create some
remarks here. / am not sure that, while these
views create much exultation in the South, they
viii carry CONSERVATION to the navigating and
commercial interests of the North The bellige-
rent recognition which is proposed sanctions the
act of the Confederate States in issuing letters of
marque and reprisal. 1t s, in fact, the first stage
of recognition. But it also involves certain OBJ
legations of neutrality on the part of Great Brit
ain. That government can not permit trade in
arms and other articles contraband of war be-
tween her subjects and either of the belligerent
powers. At the same time, il will be observed
Lord John Russell recognized the blockade 50
far as IL may be made effective. Thus the ques
tion between the North and the South now is
whether the Washington Government can en-.
force the blockade Can they prevent privateers
from going out, or coming in with priest How
much naval force will be requisite to guard two
Thousand miles of sea coastl
Ii IL apprehended that the large mercantile
fleets We have scattered over the seas may be the
prey of privateers, especially since the Federal
Government have Withdrawn our naval force
from abroad. This may have been wise step
however, because the blockade was the most OBJ
vious mode of suppreSsing priyateering.
Perhaps, however, Lord John Russell's ex-
temporized views may not be those which, upon
reflection, will govern the opinions of the law
officers of the crown.
The consequences of the blockade to the cotton
trade are TO be considered. The Federal Gov
ernment propose by blockading the Southern
ports to prevent the expectation of cotton or di-
vert it from those ports to the ports of the North
Atlantic States, where they may impose an ex.
port duty on it. an excise that will be equiva-
lent to an export duty But the Montgomery
Government will prohibit the export of the cotton
by any overland route to the Northern ports.
They will suppress the cotton export or controls it.
They will say to the British Government, if you
want cotton, you must send your ships for it to
our ports and break the blockade
So now, the Federal Government is to consider
how many mOnarchies they have to fight, besides
the monarch of the Southern people.
But foreign powers must recognize our block
ade-eotton or cotton. The question now is,
therefore, whether the Federal Government can,
with the aid of volunteer navy from the North,
enforce the blockade.

The Kentucky mu.ket..

A portion of the guns forwarded by the Gov
ernment to arm the Unionsts of Kentucky. were
distributed yesterday, at Covington. We are told
that. to all appearance, the division was so made
as to be satisfactory to both parties in other
words, the Secessionists got their full share of
this bounty. Perhaps this was necessary in order
to perfect the plan Of armed neutrality which
seemed to possess so many attractions to the peo-
pie of that State, to say nothing of certain class
of our fellow citizens
We dot profess any knowledge of secret move
ments in Kentucky nor of the policy of men who
whisper their plans and opinions in each others
ears in out-of the-way places. We never found
any benefit from such knowledge. nor any truth
in it. But looking at things as they appear IN
the surface, we are free to say that we had much
rather those arms we're upon this side Of the
Ohio: more, we believe that it would be better
for Kentucky, had they stopped this far short of
their destination. We do not superabound in
arms here. and until those of the enrolled, who
are not only loyal. but beyond the danger of be-
coming otherwise fully supplied, there is lit
tie reason for the Government to extend its libe-
rality to others.
In brief, we look upon the Government as
having been sold in this matter not by intention
al traitors, but by men at once tmid, credulous
and ambitious. In any point Of view, We are un-
able to see the wisdom of the policy that assists
the promiscuous arming of the people of Ken
tucky; and have, as yet, been unable to find any
man who could make it clear to us.-Cineinnafi

There has been considerable discussion, within
the last few days, with reference to the number
of arms at the command of the Government of
Tennessee in the present perilous emergency.
We can state automatically that there are now in
the arsenal and in the hands of the volunteers
about fifteen thousand good arms, consisting of
Mimic muskets, old patent muskets and Mississip-
pi rifles. The fint-lock muskets are rapidly
being altered to percussion locks. There are
scattered throughout the State several thousand
more. which are now rapidly coming in under the
vigorous measures prosecuted TO reclaim them
1t is hoped that all who know of any of the State
arms in their districts will assist i'm the work of
returning thsn 10 the arsenal Immediately
In addition % this inventory, it has been ascer
tanned that there are about Is ,00c sporting rifles
in the hands of private parties, which may easily
be converted into first class arms by the raised
sight and the MIME ball.
We are also authorized TO announce that tele-
graphic dispatch was received last night, that an
ample supply of arms will be shipped here in q
few days.
The public solcitude on this subject may, there
fore, be at once dismissed.
Our brave volunteers viii be well armed, and,
with arms in their hands, they will 20 forth TO

Correspondence Of the n. Y. Journal Of Commerce.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON, THURSDAY. Nay

",
We have now fifty thousand troops in Wash
ington, Annapolis and Baltimore, and fortnight
hence there e'will be twenty thousand more 1t is
evident that the Government considers the safety
of the Capital to be a paramount object; but,
while providing for that, they will be prepared to
extend military operations to the South and West,
from this position as basis. The Government,
il is said, has received such assurances of finan-
cial and military support, that it will proceed with
much confidence TO develop plan of operations
which, while it will subject the seeded States to
much Inconvenience, will test the question wheth-
er there is Union party any where in those
States or not. 1t is also intended, by the same
movements, to promote and confirm the existing
Union sentiment in Western Virginia, in Mary
land, Kentucky and Missouri.
The occupation of Baltimore by a large Fed
eral force, and the apparent acquiesence of the
citizens in the same renders the future efforts of
the Government for the defense of the Capital
very easy. Maryland will now furnish her quota
of three months volunteers for the defense of the
Capital: and besides, James Cooper, a native of
Maryland, and now resident of the State, though
long citizen of Pennsylvania, and Senator in
Congress from that State, has obtained authority
from the Government to raise regiment in Mary
land, to serve during the war.
1t is expected here that the Government will
now order the occupation Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad between the Relay House and
Wheeling. This will of course involve the ne.
cessity of dislodging the Confederate troops from
Harper's Ferry, and the prominent occupation OF
that place by the United States forces. Then
will begin the fierce struggle for which both par
ties have been preparing.
The probable formation Of Western Virginia
into new State, and the certainty that the Fede
raj Government will recognize and receive it as
member of the Union, renders it necessary for the
Government to defend that region, which is even
now threatened with invasion from Harper Ferry
We hear no suggestions in favor of peace from
any quarter. not even of truce. Gen. Rober
Z. Lee has been duly invested with the command
of the confederate troops in Virginia, and yer,
soon President Davis will himself make Richmond
his residence, and superintend in person the ope
rations of the war.
Will there be any peace party in the cominl
Congressf Will the cause Of peace and common
sense have a single advocate in that body from
any Northern State? Not one, so far as is nov
known

Secession Foreshadowe6 a Quarter of
n Century AQO.

Ofthe political novel the Parfisan Leader, by
Beverley Tucker, we have already spoken. Not
only is the doctrine of States rights, as now
maintained by t"e seeding States laid down
accurately described; so accurately, indeed, that
it is difficult to conceive of the work as having
actually been published twenty FIVE years ago.
We subjoin extract:
At the same time, the power and the will Of n
fixed majority in the North, to give a master to
the South. had been made manifest. II was
clearly seen, too, that he ivan BUREN, had de-
termined to use the power thus obtained, and to
administer the government solely with view to
the interest of that sectional faction, by which he
had been supported We ricfis," WOE to the
vanquishedv' was the word. 1t had gone forth;
and Northern cupidity and Northern fanaticism
were seen to march, hand in hand, to the plumber
and desolaton of the South.
Under these circumstances the Southern States
had been at length forced to see that the day for
decisive action had arrived. They therefore de
termined no longer to abide the obligations of
Constitution, the form of which alone remained,
and having, by movement nearly simultaneous,
seeded from the Union, they had Immediately
formed Southern Confederacy. The sudden
ness Of these measures was less remarkable than
the prudence with which they had been conducted.
The two together left little doubt that there had
been preconcert among the leading men of the
several States, arranging Professionally what should
be done, whenever circumstances should throw
power into the hands of those whom, at the bid
ding of the usurper. the people had once driven
from their councils. Ii is now known that there
was such concert Nor was it confined to the Sc
ceding States alone. In Virginia, also. there were
men who entered into the same views.
But while the President believed that no de-
cisive step would be taken by the more Southern
States without her cooperation, he had devoted
all his power direct and indirect, to control and
influence her elections. or tumutuary insurrec-
ton he had no fear. The organized operation Of
the State Government was what he dreaded. BY
this alone could the measure of secession be ef-
fected; and this was effectually prevented by
operating on the elections of members of the Leg
islature of Virginia. From the November vote
on the Presidential election, less evil had been ap
pretended and less pains had been taken TO con-
troll it. In consequence of this. something more
of the real sentiments Of the people had been al
lowed to appear on that occasion; and, from this
manifestation, the more Southern States were en-
courged to hope for the ultimate accession OF
Virginia to their confederacy. They had, there
fore determined TO ,cait for her no longer but 10

How TO TAKE CARE OF THR HAIR.-As 10 men,
we say, when the hair begins to fall out the best
plan is TO have il cut short, give it good brush
ing with moderately stiff brush, while the hair
is dry then wash it we'll with warm soap-suds ;
then rub into the scalp about the roots of the
hair little bay rum. brandy or camphor water.
Do these things twice month I; the brushing of
the scalp may be proftably done twice a week.
Damp the hair with water every time the toilet is
made. Nothing ever made is better for the hair
than pure soft water, if the scalp is kept clean in
the way we have named The use of oils, or
pomatums, or grease Of any kind, is ruinous to
the hair of man or woman. We consider il a
filthy practice, almost universal though 1t be, for
il gathers dust and dirt, and soils whatever il
touches. Nothing but pure soft water should
ever be allowed on the heads of children. Ii is
a different practice that robs women of their
most beautiful ornament long before their prime:
the hair Of our daughters should be kept within
two inches until their twelfth year-Hoa's Jour

statement, and merely give it as the index of the

North are pouring continuously into the Capital

tore we could possibly begin assault, Wash
ington will be defended by 10000 men, supplied
with all the engineery of war. The time for
taking the old seat of Government without des-
perate battle has evidently gone by; yet its doom
is sealed. The fixed and unalterable determine

The New York ZOuaves I'm washing.

The Washington correspondent Of the Phila.
delphia Press thus describes the New York Zou-
aves at the capital
The New York Zouaves, under command of
Col. Ellsworth, of Illinois, have created good
deal of CONSERVATION in our city of magnificent
distances. They have had two days of extensive,
expensive, and extreme fight. fun and frolic.
They have broken into taverns, terrified old la
dies, ordered dinners and suppers, which they had
the impudence to request their victims to charge
to that bankrupt concern, the Southern Confed-
eracy, and performed many other irreverent feats.
They now occupy the new Hall of the House of
REPRESENTATIVES from which their arstocratic
predecessors, the New York Seventh Regiment,

From the Paris Steele, May 2.

The calmness shown by the Northern States is
proof of the confidence which they feel in the
justice of their cause. We cannot but regret the
deplorable struggle which has commenced but
we have a firm hope that the principles of justice
and liberty, which prevail in the North, will come
triumphantly out of the crisis into which the vio-
lence of the partisans of slavery has thrown the
Union. Our wishes and our sympathies are in
favor of those who do not admit in any one
right Of property over his fellow creatures. and
who do not measure liberty by the color of the
skin.
