with difficulty and exposure, to the position
it was ordered to take, driving in the pick

The blockade of the Potomac.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of the 2Sth says
We are now informed by telegraph. this
morning, that the Potomac is blockaded. We
noticed statement, copied from a Richmond
paper, that when the Potomac was blockaded,
it might then be assumed that the COnfede-
rates were ready for offensive operations
agains Washington, and that no serious at
tempts would be made to prevent Federal
vessels passing up the Potomac until every
thing was ready about Washington under
Beauregard. We may fairly assume, there
fore, that the blockade of the Potomac
means that the Confedcrates are now ready for
either defense or attack.
What will the Government do? The tele-
graph says that there is not fleet enough at
Washington to destroy the rebels batteries
that line the banks of the Potomac and con-
stitute the blockade of that river. a land
force is necessary to remove them. Doubt
less the Confederates anticipate that, and are
ready for such a contingency. But if the
Government has not feet enough at Washing
ton to destroy the blockade, has il not a suf-
ficient feet at it's command elsewhere-at
Fortress Monroe, New York, Baltimore and
other ports-to accomplish the purpose? And
may not this blockade of the Potomac have
been instituted at this time, to engage the at
tention of the coast feet and keep it from
Savannah. or wherever else it is destined.
1t may be, however, for a more serious
purpose. 1t may be the intention of Beau
regard to get between Baltimore and Wash
ington, or north of Baltimore, and cut off
supplies from Washington and force it to
surrender. or drive Mcclellan to leave his
Entertainments and attack Beauregard in his
The closing of the Potomac must be for some
great stategic purpose, as the blockade sim
ply, while it might annoy, could not distress
Washington, while the road to Philadelphia
and Baltimore is kept open.
A few days will, doubtless, disclose the
purposes of the Confederates in closing the
Potomac.

Pensacola in Danger-Is Montgomery

We have learned from Mr.. MarZOni, editor
of the Pensacola ObserUa, that the Federals
have established themselves on the mainland,

Iy shell Pensacola. We have batteries in
front Of Pensacola which can sweep the bay,
but they are not capable Of reaching the ele-
waited land beyond it. This is matter which
needs the Immediate attention of our military
authorities Although We have forces and
batteries which could prevent a landing of
Fedeaal forces in Pensacola, or on our side
of the bay, yet it would be bad affair to
suffer the insolent foe to lombard the city
with impunity. Mr.. NJ. informs Us that there
is not at this time effective forces at the navy
yard, to drive the Federals off of the neck of
land they occupy in front of the city
1t may be the plan OF the enemy to effect a
landing of large force on that place, and
then attempt an inland invasion, and if he is
successful in his march upon Montgomery,
which without resistance, he could reach in
ten or fifteen days, are We prepared to repel
such invasioR7 Our people believe We are.

The proclamation of Governor Peitus
which appears this morning, calling for ten
thousand additional troops from Mississippi,
in obedience to requisition of Gen. A. S.
Johnston, will be responded to with an
alacrity and zeal characteristic of the Mag
nolia State. Our brave boys, painting for
an opportunity to join the gallant hosts who
are already in the tented field, will fill up the
requisition at once. They will come from
the pine clad hills of the east, from the
plains and glens of all sections of the State.
The soil of our sister State, Tennessee, is
threatened with invasion. The true men OF
Kentucky are calling upon US to help them
drive out the minions of the DespOt. We
have no doubt but that our patriotic and
chivalric citizens will fly with their arms like
these who have gone before, and that there
will be no difficulty whatever in meeting the
demand of the country.-Jaekson MissiSsippian.

New England and the War.

The New Bedford (Mass.,) Mercury, in a
late article urging the people of that city to
make sacrifices for the war, says:
s'Certainly, in no mode at all commensu-
rate with its wealth and intelligence, has New
Bedford demonstrated its appreciation of the
terrible nature of the struggle and the vast
Interests depending on its result. We think
we do not overstate the case. From a city
having more than twenty thousand inhabi-
tants, not a single company enlisted for the lOar.
We know of no sacrifice worth the name that
has been made in any direction"
That does not speak we'll for New England
patriotism. We should have been in a bad
position if the Northw west had not done far
better than that-Gn Enc

The most important arrests that have been
made during the rebellion, came to light in
this city to-day. Most of those previously
incarcerated in Fort Lafayette had been de-
voting their influence to treason; but the
parties here arrested were contributing arms
and munitions of war daily, bribing officers
of the United States Army to further their
designs; aud had organized system of trea-

HIGH WHARF.-THE Savannah has been up
as high as % feet, from the recent lheavy
rains. This morning it had gone back to Is
fett, and receding. The consequences of IL Q
floods have been rather serious. The low
lands along the river have been overfiowed.
and crops of corn have suffered greatly. The
high wind which preceded the rains, pros
trated the corn, and the flood coming upon
it in that condition has doubtless leveled it
beyond recovery. We hope the damage is
not so great as many apprehend. We are in-
formed that Mr., VIM. Ewes plantation, be-
low this city, is submerged TO the depth of
several feet.
The Augusta canal also overhowed its
banks, but no injury was thereby sustained.
