The BLeCKADE.-We understand that the
Government has changed its policy towards
the towns of Smithland and Paducah. For
a season all supplies were prohibited ship
ment to those places. So strictly was this
rule enforced that the inhabitants of South
west Kentucky actually began to suffer for
the necessaries of life. Among the suffer-
ers were those who claimed to be good I'm
ought not make them suffer so keenly for
the conduct of their neighbors, which they
deprecated out could not prevent. After
the August election, in which large ma
jority Of the citizens of the State manifested
a determination to stand by the old flag,
the Secretary of the Treasurer relaxed the
blockade TO considerable extent so far as
cities in that State were concerned, and
the surveyors of the various ports are au-
thorized to grant permits for the shipments
of articles, even contraband of war, to
those two cities. It was under this ar
rangement that the Samuel Orr was allowed
to take SC large a cargo to Padncah on last
Wednesday. Our business men who placed
confidence in the integrity of the citizens of
Paducah, seem likely to realize that their
confidence is misplaced. If the owners of
the W. B. Terry were wronged by the gov
eminent in its seizure of that boat, the
wrong would have been righted after
proper investigation, and damages would
have been paid them to the full extent of
their loss. The seizure of the Orr was pi-
racy, and the whole town is more or less
implicated in the crime. The owners Of
the Orr have ever manifested the most
kindly feelings for the citizens of Paducah,
and have done everything in their power to
accommodate them in almost every par
ticular, and the seizure of their boat, and
the stealing of its cargo, shipped in good
faith by our business men, was an act of
ingratitude of the most base description.
Traitors inevitably cease to be men of
honor, and men who turn their backs upon
the constitution and laws of their country
are unworthy of confidence in ordinary bu-
siness transactions Men who will rob the
Government will steal from individuals, and
it is strange to us that our merchants would
trust their goods within reach of those who
have heaped every indignity upon our city
State and Government, which their malig-
nifty could devise. We presume, goods des-
tined from this place for Paducah, will here
after be paid for before they leave our land
ing.

"a The New York Times hears " very
frequently of messages from merchants at
the South tc, their creditors here, begging
them not to consider them dishonest, and
declaring that their lives would be in dan
ger at home if they did not openly and os-
tentatiously repudiate their northern debts
but whenever the time shall come that they
can be released from the terrors of the mob
they declare their purpose to pay every dol
lar they owe both principal and interest"

? The 18th Regiment, Col. Veatch, has re-
eeived marching orders, and will leave for
st. Louis this morning The Regiment is
fully armed and equipped, and is only def
Gent in that which time alone can give
discipline. They go into quarters at Camp
Lafayette, near st. Louis, where they will
be Thoroughly drilled. How long time will
elapse before they take the field, is a matter
known only to General Fremont, who has
neglected to enlighten US upon the subject
We have secured special correspondent ,;
who will follow the fortunes of the 25th,
and keep our readers fully posted as to its
whereabouts and exploits The departure
of this regiment will be regretted by hun
dreds, outside of the large circle of friends
and relatives who this moaning have said
goodbye TO loved ones, gone to support the
Government and the Union The officers,
by their courtesy, and the soldiers, by their
quiet orderly behavior, have won the es-
TEEN and admiration of our citizens
Wherever they go, the best wishes of the
people of Evansville will follow them

Rg~ The secessionists of Kentucky have
for some months been working desperately
to get the State into war Falling to do it
by any other means, they are now trying to
accomplish the object by pretending to be
great friends of peace. Now don't they cut
a pretty figure At Louisville they hold
meetings wheresa white flag is displayed,
and white rOsettes worn. They have been
rebuked by the voice of an indignant peo-
pie, and they now take up this miserable
"peace party " dodge.

CLOSURE OF OUR PoRTs.-The Evening
Post observes on this subject:
If England should foolishly take it into
her head to regard this closure as a block
ade, we should only have to refer to her
own Naval Chronicles from l794 to 1913 to
prove that, with all her boosted naval skill
and numerous fleets, she could not keep
French privateers from cruising upon her
own coasts, or American clippers from eva
ding the blockade of the French ports, al
though the extent of the French coast was
not one-third that of the Southern coast,
and her navy was nearly ten times greater
than ours was at the commencement of the
rebellion. IS
To Theoretically seal all the numerous
ports of the Southern coast, so that no yes
sci can get in or out, is an impossibility.-
This has never been required, We repeat,
by the laws of nations, which have always
recognized blockade as effectual when the
force maintained was sufficient to make an
attempt to get in or out of the ports " haz-
ardous. But we do not profess to estab-
lish blockade; only to enforce our laws ;
yet in either view, our position is morally
impregnable.

WAXING UP.-The Government is ut last
preparing hot only to lay hands upon treas
son southwark, but to strangle it in the free
States. The New York News and Day
Book, sheets which have sown treason
broadcast, supported by the money OF the
rebels, are to be suppressed, and the traitors
in Washington are to be hunted out. The
people are taking the law into their own
hands, and breaking up the organs of JEFF.
Davis in our midst. This, as the Cincinnati
Commercial remarks, may or may not be
justifiable, according to the laws of peace;
but it is inevitable. We are at war We
have enemies in our midst. They are maxi
ing war against us--war as deadly as if
they were in the Confederate army. They
are inviting hostilites at home, and they
must be subjugated. The question must be
tried throughout the North wherever the
tories are lifting up their heads and wag-
ging their tongues or printing their poison
Gus lies, whether there are loyal men
enough left at home to take care of the per-
nicious villains who have been made bold
by that popular forbearance which has
ceased to be Virtuous.
1t is mistaken notion that a newspaper
has the right to print and circulate what
ever its editor may see proper. It is mani
testify the 'duty of patriots to see to it that
in this crisis the licentious and systematic
abuse of the government by newspapers is
at once stopped. Our attention has been
called to an article upon this subject from
the pen of the Hon. Edward Everett, in
which he says:
While we regard as unbecoming our
Christian civilization that resort to Lynch
law, by which every expression of opinion
adverse to the popular sentiment is sup
pressed in the seeding States, a0e ought to
remember that IN tOLerdtissg traitorouS press
among ourselves, are practice a hberGEty
a0hieh dagake7as no gratitude at home, and IS
neUer reciprOcated By the opposite party.
This is plain language from welcome
and weighty source. The country is wax
ing up to this great truth, and we hope to
see every sheet in the employ of the trail
tors suppressed, and every tory sent South,
where he belongs. The State of Indiana
enjoys the questionable reputation of having
three prominent traitors among her public
men and Representatives, one of whom has
been detected corresponding with the enc
my. While Indiana is giving her loyal
sons to suffer in the great cause of the Un-
ion, Jesse D. Bright, Voorhees,, and Davis
are permitted to roam about collecting in
formation for the Confederates. The only
way to reach these papers and these trail
tors, is to let every community look after
its own secession sympathizers. We are
now engaged in life or death struggle, and
every patriot, whether in the army or at
home, must do his 'lnty and his whole duty.

that his father objected on the ground that
ours was family quarrel, and could be
