The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1861-05-08

BLoCKADEs AND Hummelshine, feeling
has been caused by "a dispatch from the
Washington reporter for the Associated
Press, respecting the compatibility of block
ade of the Southern ports with some of our
treaties with foreign powers. The whole
matter is simple enough. Some of our
treaties provi e that in case we are not at
war with a foreign power, and decide upon
blockading its ports, we must give certain
number of days notice to the other party
to the treaty. But this has nothing to do
with our domestic affairs.
Our Government can blockade the ports
of a rebellious State with just no more no.
tice to foreign powers than it would give if
it were to declare rebellious city under
martial law A Governments right to
sefprotection is paramount to everything
else The only possible difficulty would be
that some foreign power with which we
have such treaty might choose to regard
the Southern Confederacy as a de facfo
Government, which, under present circum-
stances, is about as likely as that the sun
will set tonight in the Easily. 7. Post
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1861-05-08

THE CALL FOR ADDITIONAL TRooPs.--The
following extract from dispatch from
Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War,
was received by Governor Morton, on We'd
nesday, May LIST:
"No additional troops beyond the regi-
ments called for are at present needed. If
the six regiments put into camp by you
should be disposed to volunteer for three
years, unless sooner discharged, they would
be accepted-not otherwise at this time"
In answer to dispatch inquiring as to
full particulars of the above, the following
was received on the 4th instant:
GAS soon as determined, which will be
in day or two, you will be informed how
many regiments are desired from your State
in addition to those mustered into service
under the former requisition from this De-
partment. SIMON CAMERON
Secretary of War.
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1861-05-08

A man was heard to say, yesterday, u
am out of work, out of money, and out of
provisions, and must have something to
eat, and farther, he said there were many
in the city in like situation. There are
none in this city who will be suffered to go
hungry, if they show q willingness to help
themselves. There are too many warm
hearts and open hands to allow such suffer-
ing, while there exists power to relieve IT.
But there is work for all who are willing tc
work not in the crowded city, but in the
country, where the unusual amount of rain
and the many volunteer soldiers have left
the farmers behind in their spring work
Ye who are idle, don't wait for a job tc
turn up, but go and seek work among the
farmers, and if you do not get large wages
you will be earning something, and not
stay in the city and use up the few dollars
you may have, and. then have to depend
upon the charity of your neighbors. @.
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1861-05-08

The good citizens of Indianapolis, il will
be seen in another place, have held meet
ing and passed some resolutions for the
especial benefit of the cities and towns Dor
dering on the Ohio. They think we should
stop all the provisions destined to any point
south of this, though we know they are 60
ing only SO far as Henderson or Uniontown.
AS we stated the other day, very small
amount of produce is shipped from this
point, because shippers do not consider it
safe But, really, if it is the intention of the
Government to have provisions stop going
South, why don't they issue a proclamation
instructing US to that effect? If it is Gov
ernor Morton's desire that the battle
should be opened up on the border, and
that we should stop dealing with our neigh
| bors across the river, let him issue an order
to that effect, and we will obey it, regard
less of what it may cost US. But we do not
propose usurping the powers that properly
belong to the Government and commence
carrying on the war on our own hook
| Vigilance Committees are not very safe in
stitutioGs, except in cases of great necessity,
and our people do not feel like placing in
the hands of such an organization the power
of searching boats and stopping produce
We are loyal, but we are also law-abiding,
and we have not yet received official Motif
cation that we are expected to stop produce
Until we do receive such notice, our people
purpose letting it " slide"

few days, have received letters from the
arch-rebel, rendering them important COM

by one act of treachery sacrificed lifetime

pluck, our gratitude will be too great fol
