Furthermore, you cannot deny that he

there is room for regimental drills. A

young men. who have full chests and full
cheeks, and joy, and youth, and strength in
them, not decayed and cutcast fellows en-

ment has formidable and invincible ap-
pearance.
The officers are young, bright faced fell

says: -

says, How do you do, Sir, very politely

violation of neutrality for the Terry to run
at all, and when it was the 'itity d the citi-
zens themselves 70 have delivered up the
Terry to the officers Of the United States.-
At last we understand the aalnaus of the
citizens of Paducah. Being disturbed in
their infamous work of aiding and abet-
ting the thieves and scoundrels of Tennes-
see, they have set themselves up as pirates,
without even Jeff's letters of marque, and
it is doubtless their expectation to prey upon
the commerce of the river and gain scanty
subsistence from the proceeds of larceny.
If the gun-boats are fit for anything, let
them try their metal upon the den of
thieves at Paducah.

SEIZURE OF GooDs BOUND FOR PADUCAH.-
The Steamer Emma Duncan, from Cincin-
natl to st. Louis, landed here yesterday
morning, and the Surveyor having examin-
ed her bills of Iading, found that large
proportion of her cargo was destined for Pa
ducah. The Captain of the Duncan was in
structed to put ashore all freight intended
for Paducah, which was done. The freight
includes so bags of coffee, 90 casks Of ba-
con, 20 barrels whisky, with large lot of
soda, candles, soap, salt, pork, &c. These ar
tlcies have all been stored by the Surveyor,
and viii be held until some arrangements
are made about the return Of the steamer

THE BLOCKADE TO BE ENFoRCED.--It is
stated that fleet of % schooners laden
with stone, for blockading the inlets of the
North Carolina coast, and steamers needed
to tow them into position before scuttling,
are by this time at their destination, and the
North Carolina pirates will speedily find
their trade cut of. 1t is sad alternative,
that of destroying those inlets but military
necessity rules the hour, and there is no help.
The Rebels have brought this ruin upon
themselves.

PARTICULARS OF THE SEIZURE OF THE
SAMUEL ORR.-From one of the officers of
the Samuel Orr we have obtained the par
ticulars of the seizure of that boat When
the Orr landed at Paducah last Thursday,
party came on board, consisting of eight
Paducah men, and dozen or more alleged
Tennesseeans-oficers of the Terry. The
officers of the Orr were at their various
posts in the boat, unarmed, and were only
appraised of the intention of the crowd
when it was too late to resist. The Cap
tain, Engineer, Pilot, and Clerk surrender
ed 10 men with cooked pistols, and quietly
went ashore. The boat was then backed
out and taken up the Tennessee River, the
crew giving three cheers for JEFF. Davis
While one of the pirates was unfastening
the Orr's line, the rebel Captain, supposing
that the man was one of the former crew
securing the boat, fired at him, wounding
him in the leg and hand. The seizure was
mrde in broad day light, and the whole pop
ulation of Paducah witnessed it from the
top of the hill. No circumstances were
made, every one seeming to think the pro-
ceeding {" all right" The Paducah steam
ers lying at that place have all gone up the
Tennessee river, fearing that the gun-boats
would take them off in retaliation for the
seizure of t q Samuel Orr.
