BS~ The New York Times says tive are
glad to see indications that the Secretary
of the Navy is using all possible diligence
in providing for still more effective block
ade of the southern ports. In addition to
the vessels of the navy, he has already Sc
cured sixty or seventy vessels belonging to
the mercantile marine, and assigned them
to this duty. We understand that steps are
actively in progress still further to increase
their number We trust that there will
very soon be no reason TO apprehend COM

E7y- The Cairo correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says scouts report the
woods of Ballard county, opposite that
point, in Kentucky, as swarming with
armed men, since the incoming of our new
troops. They are continually coming and
going, and undoubtedly in hourly commu-
nieation with the Pillow army of New
Madrid. Every now aad then squads of
them will come out upon the river bank in
full view of this side but there is no help
for it (; we dare not invade the sacred soil
for their capture.

Bg- Our Government, instead of appro-
priatiug whatever is needed for the subsist-
enee of the army, pays 10 gold all claims OF
the Virgiuians. for property occupied for
military purposes. The Herald says that
regin.eni-of Yirginians have filed claims
for damages under the general orders pre-
seribing al assignment Of damages to prop
perty. Some Of these demands are for more
than the whole property of the claimants
could at any time have been sold for.

EGY- The rebel Secretary of State has
called for eoo,o0o soldiers. When Mr.. Lin
coin made a requisitiou for $4,000 volun-
teers, it was followed by one from jeff. Da--
Wis fol. $50, 900. The Confederates have be-
come little more modest, for the vote OF
500, 600 men by our Congress, instead of
being doubled by them, as on the former
occasion, is now only, exceeded by one
sixth of the number. q
When it is known that in the seeded
States there are one million able bodied
men between the ages of eighteen and for
ty-fve, if requires no very great calculation
to see that the 600, 600 men cannot be OBJ
tanned. At least los, 900 are now in the
field, and large proportion of those at
home will be required to stay there to
watch their plantations. Two hundred
and fifty thousand men is az many as they
! will ever raise. The call is made for bun
combe, AID is equal in its impudence to jeff
Davis assertion that he had taken pro-
visions for so, 600 men for a year, when the
next day Gen. Beauregard was compelled
| to issue proclamation, telling the people
of Loudon county that if they did not sup
ply his army with food he would be com.
PEELED to use force tosobtain it.

THE VIRGIxrA MILIrARY.-The following

The IRGINIA MILITAhY.-I nc lOiIo"'uS
extract is from the Charleston Mercury ar
my correspondent now in Virginia:
1.-THE militia are being mustered in te-
day, and many of them came to it with con-
siderable reluctance. There are some who
have no no ardent sympathy for the cause.
They viii fight for the South, of course, II
obliged to tight, but they have the feeling
that If 1t had not been for South Carolina
there 1Colila hare been no n ceSsiy for fight
ing. Many others can badly spare the time.
Their oats are unharvested their other
crops are still immature they have no
hands to work them but their own and it
is truly matter of serious Inconvenience
and injury to be obliged to turn out. Yet
in this section there are many who can fight,
and who can be spared to fight, bot WHO
WILL NOT UNLESS THEY ABE COMPELLED TO
IT. Besides this, with the militia will come
out the ordinary firearms OF the country,
which will not come without
How do the people ofKentucky like the fore

And not only so, but compelled to leave IL

likewise required to take with them, attel

MOURNING IN CHARLESTON The obsequieS
of Bee, Barton, and johnson were celebra-
ted W 18th great pomp in Charleston, on the
10th of July. The Mercury says:
Yesterday was day of mingled gloom
and stern pride. Mourning for the honored
dead occupied and stilled each heart. Our
whole people uprose with one instructive
feeling to lay the tribute of honor upon the
tombs Of our dead heroes, stricken down in
the cause of their eountry-in the defense
of our homes-in the wild shock of battle
on the field of blood. Never since the
interment of our -veneFable, great, and i'm
mortal statesman, has so universal gush of
sorrow welled up from the heart of our
people. All business in the city was sus-
pended the stores, seemingly with pre-ar-
rangement, were all closed. Thousands up
on thousands, with grave faces, assembled
men and women-on foot and in carria-
/ ges; the windows were blocked with fe-
| male f4ces-ali had assembled at the shrine
/ of the dead.
