appropriate airs by tue band, Mr.. Holt appeared
oil the steps of the hotel, and was introduced 10
the crowd by Edward Everett, who made some
complimentary aud very patriotic remarks.-
Mr.. Holt was received with earnest enthusiasm
and spoke about fifteen minutes.
MIR. Holt said he came to Boston not only to
see the city but to revive his patriotism amid the
thrilling associations that clustered around the
cradle of liberty. He was most gratefully sur
piised by the cordially Of this reception, and
was thankful for that recognition of fidelity TO
our country, and also for the kind illusions 10

The name of Beauregard, the rebel geueral-in-
chief, having penetrated to Mexico the Diayio
di M9ieO furnishes some biographical informa-
ton concerning him. This authority states that
the grandfather of B1auregard was a Mexican
bandit, called Boregallio, who acquired great
wealth by his depredatiOns in the mountains of
Sierra Nadre. AT his death the gang broke up,
and his son, Boregallio, Jr, omigrated to New
Orleans, where he bought two large estates.-
The first he called TOutOn, aud the second Beau
regari; hence his name of Touton Beauregard.
Subsequently he was fortunate enough to marry
lady of high percentage, and at once acquired
great influence among the foreign population of
Louisiana. As with his property SO with his
offspring the first child was named Touton, the
second Beauregard, and so on with all the chill
dren alternately In the year 1881 or 1882 he
obtained for his fourth son M admission into the
Military Academy at West Point, under the ap.
pellation Of @. 4. Beanregard. This fourth son
is the man now general-in-chies of the rebels.

We clip the above from the Cincinnati Catholic

distinguished and learned editors of the Telegraph
that it becomes the duty of every clergyman in
the seeded States to abstain from any dctipe act
that may lead their people to believe that they
are released from the obligation of their oath Of

THE BLOCKADE NOT TO BE BROKEN UP.

From The London Star.
The Secessionists were al first led by the con-
sideration Of the serious calamities which such
prlyatlon would entail upon us, TO cherish wild
anticipatons that should forciby break the
blockade, in order to obtain the commodity which
is to vast body Of our countrymen a positive
necessary of life. II is needless to argue against
step which has probably never been con-
templated by any sane Englisbman. Apart
from the folly and wickness involved in A
departure from our position Of strict neutrality,
It would DO Infinitely more economical for the
State TO enlarge itself with the support of all
those whom the absence of cotton might de-
prlye Of employment than, in The hope of procur-
ing It, to plunge into a war. forcible breach
Of the blockade by England is out of the quss-
ton.
but it is quite certain that the National
Government will vigorously prevent tho Seeding
States from exporting any portion OF their cotton
cropf If England were the only sufferers from
such step, of course we could not expect that
the prejudicial elect upon our interests would
have much weight with the execution. War is
so thoroughly the incarnation of selfshness that
the calamties it may entail upon the best friends
OF the combatants are not deemed worth a
thought. But what will the manufacturers in
the Northern States say to the entire paralysis
OF their industry Cotton is to them quite as
needful as it Is to us. How can they be expected
to put up with the entire pryation Of the
stample, ut moment, too, when the burdens
upon the taxpayer are enormously enhanced
by the expenses of the war? The blockade of
the Southern ports is no doubt a very efficient
weapon in the hands of the Nationalist, but Il
has this serious disadvantage, that they cannot
use Il without cutting their own fingers They
would act more wisely il they stationed vessels
TO levy duties at the entrance of each port in the
Seeding States.

On Wednesday evening, MI. wootten. tue
Attorney General of the State of Delaware,
appeared nj the Continental Hotel, and. without
much ado, commenced using secession language
or which he would have had his head punched,
but for the fact that he fan away like a rebel
coward, and has not heen heard of since. We
remember, many years ago. that boys used to 20
to an old pepper pot woman in Southwark, and
after ndulging in Il few bowls of the coveted
article, one of the number would manage to slip
out and raise q sudden alarm of fire The boys
taking advantage Of the circumstances, would
run out, without paying for the pepper-pot.-
Now, whether the Attorney General OF the State
Of Delaware had or had not paid for his drinks
we do not know neither do we know whether
he did or did not talk secession, in order 10
have prelext to suddenly vacate the premises.
One thing is certain, he ran like a coward, af.
ter having INDUCED in the most abusive language
against the Union, the United States, the Presi-
dent thereof, and everything else that is loyal,
particularly our army, which he denounced in
the most unmeasured terms. The persons who
heard him, belonged to the class Of gentlemen
who seldom, perhaps never, resort TO violence
Some OF them went in search of police Officers
TO come and remove the nuisance. Before they
arrived, the Attorney vamosed, and has not yet
been heard Of 1t was thought he had made
straight tracks for the depot, at Broad and
Prime streets, and few of the "b'hoys" hav
ing been put on the track, proceeded to that
place to intercept him, but he either did not go
there, or else managed to avoid the party. The
loyal men Of Delaware ought to watch his
movements and adopt whatever measures they
might think hest, TO remove him from society,"
