conducting this war We have sought no aid propos-
ed no alliance, offensive and defensive, abroad.
Perhaps We had the right, if We had chosen to ex-
ercise it, to ask to know whether the principle
that the blockade to be binding must be effective,
SO solemnly announced by the great powers of Eu-
rope At Paris, be generally enforced or applied
only 70 particular parties.
Nr. Davis says he has caused the evidence TO be
collected which proves completely the utter in
eihciency Of the proclaimed blockade OF the South
ern coast. and shall direct it to be laid before such
governments shall afford the means Of being
heard.
But although they should be benefited by tho
enforcement Of this law SO solemnly declared BY
the great powers of Europe We are net de pendent
upon that enforcement for the successful prosecu-
tion Of the war. AS long as hostilities continse
the Confederate states will expedite steady in
creasing capacity to furnish their troops with food
clothing and arms. If they should DO forced to
fOrego many Of the luxuries and some Of the COM
forts Of life, they will least have the conscious
ness o knowing that they thus becoming
moro and more independent Of the rest Of the
world.
He concludes as follows: While the war which
Is waged to take away from US the right OF self
government can never attain that end, it remains
to be seen how far it may work revolution in the
lndustrla! system Of the world, which may carry
suffering to other lands we'll our own. In

humble dependence upon Providence, from whose
searching scrutiny VIC cannot conceal the secrets
OF our hearts, and to whose rule we confidently
submit our dc. .tinies. For t1e rest We 81 all de-
pend upon ourselves.
Liberty is always won where there exists the
unconquerable will to be free, and VIC have reason
to know the strength that is given by u conscious
sense not only of the magnitude but Of the right

Gen. Samuel r. Curtis has preferred cherges
against Captain Chauncey Mckeever, Fremont
Assistan, Adjutant General, accusing him Of in
subordination, disrespect to superior officer and
conduct unbeccming an officer and gentleman
Captain Mckeever is charged with countermand-
ing Gen. Curtiss orders and usurping authori y
ostcnsibly under orders from Gen. Fremont, but
really without them with speaking disrespectful-
ly OF superior, particularly volunteer officers, ind
with conferring title and rank upon private citi-
zens without color OF law.
Information received here establishes the fact
that the rebels knew as much about the grand re-
view as va did, and had formed plans to attack
our outposts IN force but discovering preparations
against then and apprehending disaster, had re-
Trained.
Gen. Havelock has been commissioned as in.
