a SCREW LOOSE IN THE CoMMIsARIAT
The Carlisle Volunteer of Thursday, in
speaking of the resolution of inquiry Of
fered in the House by Mr.. Williams, re.
marks:
at is well that Mr.. Williams, redhot
Republican, moved the Resolution of in
quiry." Had Democrat presumed to do
SO, he would have been denounced as a
"secessionist' and "traitor" at once, and
no doubt been expelled from the House for
daring to inquire into the robberies now
being perpotrated. Mr.. Williams is strong
partizan, and is the ablest in the House,
and, unlike most of the members of his
party, he is an honest man.-When the
tonnage tax robbery was before the House,
he denounced the bribed scoundrels whn fa-
vored the measure, in language the most
scathing we ever read. He is an honest
man, We repeat, and we are glad he is af.
ter the robbers who are making a mock
show of patriotism, when their object is to
pluuder the State Treasury"

position of England in regard to the

What is the duty Of the Govern

If this is done a victory for the North
is certain, and the experience we
have gained at Big Bethel, Bull Run
and Davis Greek is not in vain. The
next turn to win is rightfully ours

Hatteras was, in their eyes. an i'm

of the temporary fort which has been

1t is exposed to all the dangers and
inconveriences which are peculiar to
that part of our Atlantic coast, and
which, in fact, make it the terror OF
navigators. When the equinoctial
season comes, as soon it will. and the
winter surf beats in all its fury up
on its beach, Hatteras will prove to
its captors anything else than com
Portable and profitable possession
All that they can do in the meantime
is to annoy the opposite shore across
the Sound with piratical boat expedi-
tions when they think they can do SO

the Yankees, Hatteras is worth some

; Raising tho Blockade.

This important subject is handled IN
all Imaginable ways by our intelligent
cotemporaries Of the South, and, sc
far as we have observed, they all look
to foreign powers to accomplish this
end. In fact, it would appear that
we are now to look no longer at home
for attempts to do away with the
blockade, hut, on the contrary, the
cry is our cotton must be had by
Europe, We need not exert ourselves
France or England will interfere in
our behalf, and it will not be- long
before they raise the blockade. We
feel panied to note such expressions
coming as they do from native born
citizens. Decidedly opposed are We
to such policy it does not become
us as Southerners; it is neither dem.
ocratic, nor characteristic. of true
Southrons, and should not be encour-
aged, but rather discountenanced. 1t
is a plain Acknowledgements of what is
not so-our incapability of succeed
ing in prosecuting the present war OF
independence. Can any reasonable
individual gaihsay this. No! 1t is
too palpable.
Nothing would please US better
than to receive the cheering intelli-
gence Of the breaking of the blockade.
but under different circumstances
than those anticipated. The benefi-
cial effects which would arise from
such a result, we are aware would be
in a measure beyond comprehensioas
but we repeat, depend not on foreign
aid; let us prepare and make bold
effort; if we fail, it cannot hereafter,
be thrown r 0;s- faces that we made
no move in that direction, depending
solely on others to take it in hand.-
While battling for independence let
us show to the world that We are in
dependent. If England or any other
power desires breaking the blockade,
we'll and good, by no means though,
lot overtures be made to them bv
our people,
Every foreign item that contains
the least insinuation relative to the
breaking of the blockade being under
advicement, is Immediately snatched
up and made the subject Of lengthy
editorials, or pubic conversations ;
it is paraded before the people, and
painted in colors innumerable, and
to such an extent is it sometimes car
ried, that it disgusts instead of enter
tains. Let US keep calm, and we
