The North are becoming alarmed at the captures
of the Southern privateers, and as remedy have
proposed the arming of thei yankee fishing smacks,
for the purpose Of assisting the regular Navy,
which is proven to be inefficient in all respects.
These boats number some two thousand or more,
aud vary in size from sixty to Eone hundred and
sixty tons.

The PASSPORT SYsrEM.-The Boston Courier has
the following with regard to the order of Presi-
dent Lincoln in regard passports:
Our telegraphic dispatches of Yesterday con-
tanned the information that the State Department
had issued notice that no person hereafter
should bo allowed to go abroad without pass
port, and that no person should be permitted to
land IN the United States without passport from
minister or consul of the United States or if
foreigner, from his own government, countersigned
by such minister consul. We are not aware of
any law which authorizes the Secretary of State
to impose any such restriction upon a citizen of
the United States, whether going abroad or return
ing home. II any such law has been recently
our young and progressive country should have
adopted Regulation which is growing obsolete in
Europe. The passport system is great nuisance
there, as all travellers testify. 1t imposes
great trouble and some expense upon honest men,
while 1t affords society protection against
| rogues aud knaves. We trust there is some mis-
take in this.
MOB Oh MARTIAL LAw.-We publish elsewhere
extracted from the Daily Neus, list of the So
called "peace newspapers, in the orthern States.
Five OF these papers have been recently mobbed,
an indignant populace cutting their establishments
from top to bottom, in two instances offering vo-
| ience to the editors and setting example of de-
struction which, if followed to any great extent,
would lead to anarchy. Yet 1t is right that
thing should be done to prerent the dissemination of
sympathy 'ch treason in the loyal States, and the
constant propagandism Of discomfort with the war,
in which this large portion of the press is engaged
ALL HANDS DRILLING.--A Charleston paper says
Our militia here are all under drill. Every
white male, from sixteen to sixty years old, is now
drilling making ready for the fall campaign and
about our CITY, Every store is closed at four o'clock
daily, and all hands drill.
| RECRUITING IN PHILADELPHIA.-The thirty. one
regiments that were being recruited in Philadei-
phia had to be consolidated on account of the i'm
| possibility to fill them up The thirty regiments
will thus be reduced to some ten or twelve.
