told these Governments that this is an act of

Manufacture and trade, that it end;tnEers

Spain must be refused. too though she gen

We suffer the cotton 10 70 TO Spain, England
will be supplied from Spanish ports. The
effects OF such vast dimlnution III the sup
ply OF cotton are very easy foresee. The
price VIII rise rapidly in Europe. Upland
cotton, the price Of which is Gt. l., will go 10
I'd perhaps isd. Manulactnred goods will
rise IN 'ha same proportion. The conse-
4ucnces OF such changes are of daily eXpe-
riencc, Of infaliiDle sequence, and are well
known to every experienced merchant and
thoughtful statesman. The production Of cot
ton in All parts OF the world Will be greatly
stimulated; tn consumption CT goods viii be
vastly reduced.
The POTOMAC BLOCKADE.
The correspondent of one Of our Southern
exchanges, from the seat OF war near Ma
aassa, writes on the subject OF the Potomac
blockade as follows:
The Yankees have discovered ut last that
the Potomac is biockaded, aud that their
piratical ships will NOT be able to urowl up
and down that river heretofore. They
seem to think greal deal about it, and con-
tess the navigation is stopped, unless they
take the batteries. They will not find that So
easy, and will hardly attempt such hazard
Gus enterprise. Their attention appears to
be directed only to Matthias Point below
Aqua Creek. They VIII find there is auo ther
formidable battery between aqua Greek and
Washington, capable of arreeting the pro-
gress of any fleet. They can neither get up
nor down. We have the river closed Tor u
dis canoe Of some forty miles. Our Maryland
friends need no; be AFRAID. hereafter, in cross

have talked so much about mashed batteries
where there have been none, that they VIII
now realize the truth OF the liable about the
cry OF wolf. The value OF these forks in 4
strategic point OF view, rs affecting tae gen
eral operations of the war The Potomac
and with reference to the liberation of MARY
land, cannot be we'll over estimated.

OUR DEFENCEs AFyE8 Tug WAR.
The Mobile .figaytiSa' observes that az soon
Is the Var is over the Government Of the
Confederate States Will commence the work
Of establishing cordOn of strongly fortified
posts all along our Northern frontier, to be
strrisoned b. our standing army. For sew
@r&l and sufficient reasons, We desire that
kentucky should belong TO this t'onteder1cy
as she certdInlyWil. One OF these reasons is,
mat our Government may have the privilege
OF bGiIdIng great ana inpftgUa bic fortress
on the ban Ms OF the Dhi0, just opposite Ctn-
cinnati, with Il hundred Dig coIumDiids on
lis rampart5, trained noint-b blank on this abO-
lIti0n poFkopoh3. Thus we would have an
under hOlG' on the North unless it choose
to move it's - Queen City to q safer neigh
boThood. Any time that the North "stoie 3
Niger. committed any act Of aggression. or
. kicked up any ruction," all our Govern
meut would have TO DO would be 10 notify
the Northern Government that on such a dav
the commander Of our anti Gin cinuati glib
raitar would send a cartel to the porkopoli-
taus giving them SO many hours 10 remove
HEIR women, children and non com batants
lor down would come Cincinnati At the expi-
raJiOD OF the time. Ii this 20 :yer-supportet
menace did not fetch the Niger, bring apollo
~ and amendment for the aggression, or
abate the ructlou, then We are mistaken in
the interest-alive shrewdness of The citizens
o. the North.
TRADE WITH THE SOUTH.
The shipments, especially Of sugar and mo-
lasses, from the large Southern cities 10 Viz
sjnia, 10 say nothing OF Government unr-
chases, have been on the most extensive scale

Southern trade 10 that city, suys:
