CINcINHArI, May 8, 1851, } .
To Hon Samuel B. Hirst, President Of The Ceniral
Committee, de-:
DEAR SIR: have the honor to submit the
following as my reply the questions pro-
pounded to me in your letter of the lst inst. /:
ALI the Northern States, and the States of
Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri,
as States, may now be considered loyal to
the Government of the United States, al
though it is very evident that in the four
States mentioned, there are many disloyal
citizens. By virtue of his proclamation of
the 18th of April, 1861, the President of the
United States has already placed all the ports
in the States of South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana Mississippi and
Texas under blockade, and by the proclama-
tion of the President, issued on the 9th of
April, 1861, the ports of the States of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina are also under
blockade. There can, therefore, be no COM
meIcial intercourse with any of those States
by the people of the United States or of any
other nation.
2. The following articles are contrabaud
of war: all gold and silver coin; all checks
or bills of exchange for money; all articles Of
food, clothing, and materials for the manufac,
ture of clothing; all rife, pistol, musket, and
cannon balls and shells; gunpowder and all
materials used in its manufacture; all ammu-
milton, and munition and implements Of wal
of every description; all books OF military
education; all saddles, harness, and trapping:
for flying artillery, field and staff officers and
cavalry troops; all horses; all gun-carriages
all timber for ship building; all kinds o.
naval stores; all engines, boilers, and ma
chinery for boats; all locomotive engines ant
cars for railroads, and all other goods ami
| commodities which might be useful to tn
enemy in war.
Inasmuch as there are many individual
in the States of Kentucky and Tennessee
and other States in the valley of the Missis
sippi, who openly sympathize with tn
| armed insurrectionists of the South and in
asmuch as there is a direct communicate
by rail or by water between the rebellion
States of the South and those States not "
in open rebellion to the Government of th
United States, it is obviously improper
permit any articles secondly above enumel
ated, whose ultimate destination may reac
the rebel forces, to be forwarded 70 thos
States for, although some of those article
might be there used for lawful purposes, y
all of them might be diverted from tho
purposes, and applied to the aid and comic
of the enemy.
1t may be well for me to say, that all pc
sons anywhere in the United States, as We
those in the loyal States, as those in Stat
which pretend to have seeded from the u
ion, whether they be venders, brokers, ma
ufecturers, merchants shippers, expire
! agents, or freighters, who make or send 70
ward any Of those articles to the reb
forces, incur alike the penalty of treAso
; and must be dealt with accordingly.
Very respectfully yours,
District Attorney Of the United Stat

BUSINESS MEMS PRAYER MEETING AT SMITH
l. NIxoN's HALL.-The leader read, yester-
day morning, a portion of the twenty fifth
chapter of Matthew.
Two stanzas were then sung of the hymn
commencing;
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myBelf in thee "
A letter was read from soldier in Camp
Dennison, near Lancaster, Penna., referring
in terms of solicitude to class of Sabbath
school scholars he had left behind him. The
prayers of the meeting were requested and
offered for him and them.
The leader remarked, in closing, that one
thought had recently begun to occupy his
mind more and more-the important Office
of faith in the Christian economy. We walk
by faith and not by sight. Faith alone
could develop, properly, our moral and
spiritual nature. Without it we walk in the
dark. He referred to the experience of
David, as related in the eighteenth Psalm.
Prayers that were offered in faith were
always answered. The present national
convulsions were undoubtedly the answer
of prayers; and we had right to expect an
ultimate triumph of the principles Of the
Gospel.
The twenty-frst Hymn was sung:
"HaIlelujah Victory, Victory
Lift the conqueror's song en- high
| Jesus drives the foe before us
Lo, the powers Of darkness hyi
| HailelUjshl
| Now our joyful hearts reply.

The Rights of tho Federal GOvernment.
On this subject, the Philadelphia Ledger

Ou thio buhJOObf hhO hAAouOAHhAo b0oyCF
holds the following sensible language
The Border State journals are discussing
the question Of the right of the United States
Government to assemble troops at Cairo, in
Illinois. In the opinion of those neutral
States, with Southern sympathies, the rights
of the United States are restricted to circle
so limited that the Government possesses
nothing which il can call a right. II has no
right TO its forts, no right to its mints, no
right to its arms and munitions of war, no
right to any of the seeded territory, no right
to march troops over territory of States
which reasonably declare themselves to be
neutral in contest between the Government
and he.rebels who assail it; and now, more
insolent still, the Government is told that it
has no right even to assemble troops 10 q
territory which never has and does not mean
to secede. As the rebels and their sympa-
thizers would define rights, they are all on
the side of rebellion--none on the side OF
Federal law and Federal authority. II mat
tiers but little, however, how opinion may
settle questions of this sort, the Federal
Government has rights, and rights which II
means to make respected by the power which
is ut its command. The bordeF-neutral
States will be no Obstruction to the exercise
of those rights. Those States are already
out Of the Union in feeling, and viii be con-
sidered so formally the moment they inter-
feIe to thwart the efforts of the Government
| to restore its legitimate authority over the
insurrectionaTy States. Instead Of discuss
| ing the rights of the Northern Government
in way to restrict its legitimate power, the
professedly neutral States had better considev
| their duties to their Government, and by per
forming them in good faith avoid the conse
quences of completely with rebellion.
