"A Republican paper, the Cincinnati Gazette,
says this: The papers and reporters at Washing
ton say that great injury is done to the service by
exaggerated of the numbers of the
army of Washington. From them the people get
the impression that the Capital is safe, and volun-
teering flags. The Washington Star says that

"A New York letter says, our merchants are
very anxious-as every body else must be-that
the Government should take immediate measures
to check the lively traffic now going on under
the British flag, borrowed for the occasion by the
rebels, between Havana and New Orleans. Pri-
vate letters from the latter port received yester-
day, by the Harnak, show that the magnitude
and Importance Of that Illicit intercourse are

published accounts. Not only are shipped salt,
drugs, groceries and other articles of which the
enemy is VIGOROUSLY 'short," but rifles, gun
powder, s~altpcter and other warlike stores. So

nifty, the effectiveness of the blockade of course
