them by following their authors into the secret

required blow like that against Fort Sumter

sturdy qualities which make people is to be
free. Thus the sequence OF the late battle is
more careful and thorough preparation greater
activity and vigor in every department Of the
Government, a stronger determination on the
part of the people to crush the rebellion, and
firm resolution among the soldiers of the Union
to recover in victory the honOrs lost ut Bull

been a decided advantage TO tie Nation, much a.

been issued by Admiral Milne ~ the British
vessels on our coast, defining, with stringency
and precision unheard of before, what the
British Government considered an efficient block

a physical impossiblty. 1t was with reason
considered on our part that such orders could
only have been framed for the purpose of pick

convenient pretext, in relation to the blockade.
But we IRE glad to note that there was no
