TINES DISPATCH.

A highly intelligent and trust worthy
gentleman, who has been on duty in con-
nection with the blockading squadron off
Charleston, assures me that since Capt.
Marston took command of this station, Eve
weeks, it is absolutely certain no vessel has
put TO sea directly from that harbor.
Through narrow channels leading among
the sea inland5 to Savannah and even to
points on the coast of Florida, small crafts
suck as schooners OF light draft aud sloops
may have made their way, but the watch
of the passages is not kept, being impossible
that large vessels should pass through them.
HERALD's D1sPATCH.
The division OF Gen. Blenker holds the
Coiumbia turnpike from Long Bridge to
Mason's Hill, their pickets extending beyond
Annahdale, six miles above Bailey's cross
roads. They have seen nothing of the
enemy except an occasional scouting party,

King of England, for the last two hundred years
has attempted to suspend the liberty bill of Great
Britain, yet the President of the United States has
not only assumed this power, but chosen to delegate
it to subordinate military officer, in gross violation
of the Constitution of the country. When you
have passed the resolution before US, there will
no longer be any free institutions in America; this
will have ceased to be a land of liberty" He had
been as deeply attached to the Union as any man,
and would gladly have sacrificed all he had of prop

coercion, or conquest. Good for MIR. Bayard Fay.
