The Blockade.

At presentthere are two steamers OFT thl
bar-the Minnesota, Commodore String
ham, and another. name unknown, appar
emily ship about 600 OF 700 tons, and O.
light draught, as she appears to roll very
much. She could be captured by couple
of ordinary steamers, if the latter were well
manned and armed. Yesterday Mr.. G. O
Witte, consul at this port for Sweden and
Norway, visited the Minnesota to inquire il
the Norwegian bark Ad'ni"al Peter Ford
enskjold, now in this harbor, and which
vessel arrived here after the steamship M
agra had been off this port, and while the
entrance to the harbor was unobstructed
could load for place 10 Europe, and he
was informed that the bark would not be
allowed to leave the port with cargo, and
she could only be permitted to depart in
ballast, aud the commodore observed tda'
he was stretching orders to permit that
much. The officers made inquiry about the
stale of feeling here if any action had ia
ken place in Virginia siuce the occupation
of Alexandria spoke of Ellsworth's death,
and wanted to know the price of provisions
in Charleston-acted frieudly-appeared to
regret their position in reference to the Sc
cedlug States, and hoped the difficulties Of
the country would soon be settled.
The schooner seen near the steamers yes.
terday forenoon was one that they had
brough. to, and ordered off. Her name we
could not learn.
They expect an addition to ther number
in few days, when the port will be com
petely closed. The ships have supply Of
provisions and water for thirty days, al
which time they expect to be replenisbed
or have other ships take their place. The
Minnesota draws "a feet aft and 22 for
ward, and is entirely unable to keep small
vessels out. The steamer Gen. Uinch, frou
Santee, was chased by her yesterday after
noon, but the captain kept in shoal water
and the ship could not approach his steam
er.
A small British schooner now here, il
expected to leave this port to day, or tt
morrow with cargo for the Bahamas, anc
it will be matter of interest to see if Com
modore Stringham will stop her and senc
her back to port. The commodore inquired
if the British ship A d 4 had been allowed
to leave, and appeared to be surprised thai
she had been allowed to 60. 1t will be re-
membered that the A & A got into por
while the Niagara was off here Charles
ton Mercury.

3SA oul1SI
Mr.. Yost, the editor of the Staunton
Findicator, who attended the Charleston
Democratic Convention, where he me,
Gen. Butler, who was delegate to that
body from Massachusetts, gives the fol.
lowing account of him
"A more craven-hearted coward never
walked the earth With the most revolt
ing countenance ever worn by man, he is
the impersonation of horse thief or land
pirate. Without particle of courage or
honor, be is endeavoring to ape the man of
war. Driven with brickbats and sticks
back from his passage with his regiment
through Baltimore by unarmed citizens,
he has recently sigualized his cowardise by
Offering insult and contumely to the people
of that city, when their hands were tied -
We have seen the miserable creature snub'
bed, spit upon and insulted beyond endu
rance to gentlemen, with no other res
ponse than fear and trembling poltroonery
During the sessions of the Charleston Con
vention be was bought with a price, and
when called to account by young Smith
of California for some Yankee trick, be
begged like whipped spaniel and covered
before the gaze Of brave and honest man
The man, in fact, is brute. He looks
like one-acts like one For such crea
ture to talk of conquering the South Fo
such miserable poltroon to threaten t
invade Virginia"
And again:
Gen. Butler says that his face is South
ward, and that he won't take step back
wards. That is very likely. Walking
backwards would be too slow a business TO
him. But when he smells powder he VII
turn his face North and make tracks foI
ward very rapidly. We know the miScra
bic braggart and poltroou.'
TEXAS HoRsEMEN.-Among the Texa
troops here are some Of the best borselDe
in the world who, as guerilla soldiers
wond be invaluable. There are lnds
fighters from Texas, who, at full speed, ca
raise au iufautry soldier from the ground

THE Wan AND TEE NEwsPAPERs.-lnstead
o freaping a harvest through the present war,
says the New York Journal Of Commerce,
the indications are everywhere palpable that
the Press feels its effect injuriosly, if not to
the disastrous extent suffered by most other
branches of business. We have the names Of
some thirty newspapers that have suspended
publication, from various causes, within the
past month; and since our means of informa-
ton are solely through the medium of our
limited exchange list, it is reasonable TO in
fer that these are but a fraction Of the num-
Der ofnewspaper suspensions throughout the
country, North and Sonth. Probably the
actual number is between one and two humid
REQ. or those that survive, the greater por-
ton have either reduced the size of their
sheets, or raised the price per copy, or the
annual subscription price, Doubtless, efforts
have been made by all to curtail expense in
various ways.
