Important Laws.

We lay before the readers Of the PATRIOT
this morning several very important laws
which have just been enacted by the Congress
Of the Confederate States One of them pro-
vides for the organization of volunteers from
Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, many Of
whose noble sons have already borne con-
spicuous part in the war for Southern indie
pendeuce, and their glorious example will
be eagerly followed by thousands OF Others.
Another Of them provides for an increase OF
the army to four hundred thousand men,
number sufficiently large to meet the de
msuds arising from the increase of the Fed
eral army authorized by the Lincoln Con
eress. The third is in regard to aliens in our
midst. To this we wish to direct particular
attention. 1t at once settles the question re-
specting aliens, and shows that our Govern
nent does not intend to tolerate enemies In
our midst. Those, therefore, who reside IN
the Confederate States, and still adhere to
their allegiance to the Federal Government
at Washington, will, after reading it, know
precisely where they stand; and, if they are
wise, will prepare either to change their allie
glance to our Government or to depart in
peace. We presume that President DAVIS
will i-sue bis proclamation at an early day,
and then there can be no further dalliance.
Look to your safety.

LINcJLS's BLoCKADE.-A. reliable gentle
man at present scjOurning in this city, (says
the Richmond Dispatch of the 8th,) who from
his connection with and knowledge of politi-
cal affairs in Great Britain, is very likely to
be fully acquainted On any topic that he may
presume to discuss, said yesterday that the
British Consul in Richmond has been inform
ed, or would soon be, by Lord Lyons, that
tn e latter had received advices by courier
from Rear Admiral Dundas commanding the
British squadron off Charleston harbor, noti-
fyinR the British Minister at Washington
that. in accordance with instructions from
his Government, he had examined into the
blockade established by Lincoln's vessels at
that point, and such examination had con-
WINGED him that it was Ineffective, and by the
law of nations null aud void. His determi-
nation, therefore, was to enter the port of
Charleston with his feet at an early day, de-
spite any pretended opposition that might be
offered to bis so doing. The facts the Admi-
raj requested Lord Lyons to lay before Hon
VIM. FL. Seward, Lincoln's Prime Minister,
who Is reported on the same suthority to
have "waxed exceedingly wroth," and threat
eneI the British Empire with all the ven
geance C pable OF being bestowed by the Ar
my aud Navy of The late United States-we
trust thes- iidings may b. verified. The act
OF Admiral Dundas doubtless only proceeds
tn. recognition of Southern independence by
a t-w weeks The world does move.

Rumor OF Another Battle.

Passengers who came down upon the Cen
trail train Yesterday evening, report that Gen.
Lee and Ger. r zsncTantZ. IN Tuesday. at
TENN d 1 ga, ii,- All age of each other
IN .dya.ced iii II Gen. Lee reached
th.. point in dispute wi;h TWO regiments few
d, ,.r- in advance a. : adversary, who had
M gIments. A b. lie ensued, in which
m uemy were driver I'm the field with a
Is- of forty killed, wnIi- there was little or
n le-- on our side. Gen. Lee commenced
nf,I,ing the pass he had gained near Big
Sr,,,t.. in Pocahontas county, fifteen miles
o., HIntersville. Big Spring commands the
K. road from Randolph to Lewisburg,
10 the Central r abroad.
w copy the above from the Richmond
E,oairey of the 10th, in which we also find
the following extract of letter from Bath
county:
w are now daily expecting battle
snsueW here between Huntersville (the county
<..,.' 81 Pocahontas) and HuttOnsvile, pro-
baby on Elk Mountain. The enemy are at
the church in Mingo fats, (12 miles above
HuItonsville) and advancing towards Hun
tersville. Our forces are at and beyond
Huntersville, as far as the Big Spring on Elk
Mountain. Their scouts are said to be with
in eight or ten miles of each other. ALI our
Bath boys are there, who can be. Somewhere
near - have passed this point within
the last week. More than half of them are
from Tennessee, and are very much afraid
the battle will come of before they can get
out They are strapping fellows generally,
ard eager for the fray"

From springfield.

We have advices from Springfield to Mon
day at 2 P. NJ. Up to that time no battle or
skirmish had taken place, subsequent to that
of Friday evening at Dug Spring, heretofore
noticed. The Secession forces were, it is
represented, divided into three columns. The
column engaged on Friday was commanded
by Colonel Cravens. and a prisoner reports
