enclose you an extract from the Evening Express pub

there have been three four vessels from North
Carolina They come in under the British flag which, no
1obt, is all right very wrong think the oophole
through which these vessels creep from the Southern
ports might be closed by the vessels detailed FOR that
duty.
The news from the gold field is very nattering. The
Union has but few sympathizers here The price Of fish
is materially affected. The following is the extract
alluded to-
THE BLOCKADE NOT EFFECTIVE.

under blockade and active trade carried in the

cent accounts state that six vessels loading Beau

blockade has not been made effective at these two ports

yided with vessels OF draught sufficiently light
to enable them to lay OIL these harbors. Taking
advantage of this fact, the rebels are pro0ting

of the United States District Court this morningUnited
States District Attorney Dana tor the government Sid
ney Bartlett and Edward Bangs for the claimants The
counsel agree to main facts in the case II is not
claimed by the government that the vessel had the
blockade or was trying to run it when captured The
only ground upon which liz claimed s that is the pro-
perty of public enemy, being owned by citizens Of
Richmond and the principal question that arises is
whether the citizens Of Virginia, which State Is now in
rebellion, be considered public enemies.
This will probably be argued at length at some
future day. The claimants all say that they
are loyal citizens of the United States. ques-
ton Of fact may, however, arise as to the
ownership Of 400 bags Of coffee, In which British
house may prove to have interest No claim hfs been
presented by this house yet but should they present
solid claim the coffee will be given up belonging to
public enemies -Four hundred bags Of coffee belong

Abolition Achievements.

The achievements of mercenariesof Ab- olition have no parallel in the history of the earth. Here is number.
 I. Major Anderson ran off from Fort
 Moullrie in the night, fler destroying all the property he could. Z Lieut.. Slemmer ran away from Pen- sacola in the night after he had injured as much property as possible.
 B. Commodore Pendergrast ian away from Norfolk, after sinking several fine ships, spking some scores of guns, and f- rinp the Navy Yard.
 4. The commander Of the Abolition force at Harper's Ferry, hearing the ap- proach of the Virginians, ran away as fast as possible, first setting fire to the Govern ment workshops.
 ,. The other day in St. Louis the myr- mldons of Lincoln fired on an unarmed crowd of citizens--killing thirty.eight. among whom were several little girls and boys.
 From these facts it is clear that the achievements of Lincon's abolition hordes are altogether unparalleled. Four times they ran away, after destroying or attemp- ting to destroy some valuable property; and in the fifth instance with a heroism
 that was sublime in its doubtlessness, they fixed their Minnie rifles into helpless crowd, and succeeded Tn slaughtering men. women, children and babies, to the num- Der of thirty-eighl
 And the coward leader of these towards and murderers threaten us with subiuga- ton! Pallid with fright, fleeing from the approach of armed men, and hands red with the blood of helpless women and children. these are the abolition braves But time will work out a just compensa- ton; and when our boys have an opporlu- nity to measure steel with the Abolition enemy, the massacre at St. Louis will be amply atoned for.
