The Blockade.

The LINCOLN Government viii not be pert
mitted to say what articles shall and what
shall not be exempted from tbs operation Of
the blockade which it has established. They
havc discovered, it seems, that the blockade
is njuring themselves more than Us, aad are
endeavoriug to tighten the burtheEs Of the
war to the Western farmers, by permitting them
to bring their productions, which they cannot
ssll and which bid fair to rot on their hands
into competition with those Of our own agri-
cplturists. They are cunningly seeking to
draw the money from the South to enable
them to carry on the wsr against her. We
take it for granted that the Southern Govern
ment and people will at once put veto on
that proceeding. We have furnished the
North already, in times that have gone by, the
means which they arc now using for our sub.
jugation, and it can scarcely be expected that
in an actual state of war, We shall permit them
to levy the ways and means for our extermna-
ton from our own pockets. Experience has
fully proved that we have nothing to fear from
the enemy in open battle; bat when he wields
the arts of trade, traffic and diplomacy, then

GEN. HuEler.

It is again announced that the old hero at
Fortress Monroe, "BoMBAsTEs FURIoso," is TO
leave that post, and, as it is expressed, for one
Of "more active service" This is refreshing
intelligence. We would like to know why Bur-
LER does not find the service "active' enouga in
the Peninsula? If he has been pining for en- .
ployment, why did he not accompany PIERCE
TO Bethel? Why has he not fulfilled his va
rious threats Of taking Richmond and Norfolk
What has he done at Fortress Monroe except
capture contrabands, steal chickens, ard de-
file and burn private property? The misera-
bic pretender In what other military service
on the face Of the earth could such an eyre
gious humbug be toleratedl We learn that
he was hugely delighted at the result of the
great battle Of Manassas, which proved
that other people can lose fight ss well as
and that seorr and he will go
down to postszity In the same category.

cent. Of the value Of the expectation, or six
millions and half This was the case with
snuff and the ma nufactured tobacco, and with
a large class of manufactured articles Of other
descriptions. OF the products Of the for
est, tho South furnished full one-half.-
OF the products Of agriculture, and of
vegetable food, the following is to be said
1t is declared by some of the most inteIh-
gent Northern writers, Mr. kcrretL among
the number, that the free States rs a
whole do not raise surplus Of provision and
brsadstufs for expectation; that if the Eastern
and Middle States did not procure large sun
plies Of these articles from Virginia AID other
Southern Sta.es, they would Consume all the
surplus raised by the Western States: anu
that Western produce goes abroad orly 10 tho
extent that it is released for that purpose by
Southern produce brought in and consumed by
the Eastern and Middle States in rs stead
If this be so-and we believe the estatement--the
surplus grain and provision stu1s exported
from Northern ports, shou.d bo credited as a
Southern expectation and not az Il Northern
AMI this consideration would gvo the whole
export Of forty-fve millions of tho products Of
agriculture to the South At all events,
it would be 4 low estimate to credit
half Of the sos, ,S2G,299 Of the i3int
expectation Of South aud North, or SIS, ,4I3,-
$50 TO the South: which, added to the $2l4,-
322,Ss exclusively Southern, would give
1862, 900 as the minimum Southern ex-
portation to foreign countries. Her sales Of
cotton and other produce to the North for
Northern consumption, are yariously esJima-
ted az from one hundred to one hundred and
fifty millions q year; which would make her
total expectation from three hundred and fifty
to four hundred millions pc. anpum. In view
Of these facts, we are quite astounded at the
understatement OF Mr. KgSG, and We trust
that cur authorities here will instruct him 10
take an carly opportunity to correct his mis-
take

one occasion, when il was alleged by con
temporary that BENNETT would be willing
to be whipped every day in the week, Sc he
could make something in suit for assault
every hour Of the day We should rather
think that 'Mammon," rot only "scerned to
be- but was, in fact, "the G Cd" aad tho only
GCd of such as he. Il is absurd, however. to
pretend that the worship Of that God has been
interrupted by the war. On the contrary. ho
himself charges the l MON Defence Committee
Of New York, made up of IT'S principal mer-
chants, with permitting the vast sums placed
in their hands to disappear in most myevc-
rious manner, and giving no account cf their

tribution of large amount Of money, and ne
public have for a long tina been calling for 2
full statement of the disposition made Of il !;
but, for some cause or other, it is Just as hard
work to obtain bill of items from these mo-
neyed men as it was to obtain report in detail
from the Japanese Committee Of the Common
Council. We trust that the aristocratic gen
tlemen Of the nion Defence Committee have
not taken BARKER and his associates for their
models This does not look as if Nam mon

sacrifice and patriotism" substituted in his
place. BENNETT, moreover, e3 3ciaims "Ihe
war will make las q military people! We are
burning with martial ardor" The only omar

was the Inflammation Of its epideEmis under the
martial ardor of Brig. Gen. WEBB, IIIRAM

burning with something hotter than "martial

Affairs In Missouri.

The recent brilliant successes Of the Con-
federate troops in Missouri have electrified
every true Southern heart. Never has State
been more cruelly oppressed and treated
never in America have any but the Indians
perpetrated such inhuman butcheries as those
in ST. Louis, in which innocent citizens, and
actually and children, were shot down
in cold blood by the myrmidons Of Gen. LYON
and Gen. SIEGEL, the first Of whom has hap
PLY been sent to his account. II is evident,
even from the Federal accounts, that Gen. Nc
CULLoCH has gained a magnificent victory
We fervently hope that he will be able to push
on to ST. Louis and to drive into the river
every one Of the scoundrels who has been en-
gagged in, or conniyed at, the horrible massa
ere of the Innocents in that city. We long for
that.ine to come. Weknow that McCuLLocH
is as brave and energetic chieftain as ever
lived; but whoever thinks that he is am
bilious of reputation for false philanthropy,
viii find their mistake before long. The
A0enger of blood is On the heels of those ruff,
fans in Missouri, and we trust will be ere long
in Maryland also, and then the long arrears
will be paid. Oh, for that precious hour of q
peoples dsliverance, We are sure It is at
hand in Missouri. We fervently hope that
MARYLAND will not be far bshind.

paid the soldiers that can be, and their places
will be filled by others as fast as they are re-
moved. Eight of sick, who have been Mt
tho ST Charles Hospital, in this CITY, left for
Beaver d im on Saturday morning last. TSis
is another instance Of the kindness shewn oGr
soldiers by the ladies Of Virginia, and we OK
pect to hear Of like Institutions throughout tho
State, by our patriotic women, until We viii
have sufficient number to accommodate all
who may be sick; and We can assure those per-
sons living ia the far South who have brothers,
husbands and fathers with as, as we'll as our
own people, that they will be az we'll provided

their own homes. Never before has such self

generally; and we can only hope that they
may all live to enjoy that blessed liberty for
which the soldier is daily exposing his life.
