The Enect. OF close blockade.

We made few remarks yesterday relative
to the advantages which the South would, in
the end, derive from strict blockade of her
ports. In the Charleston Courier of Thursday
we find an article in which views similar to
ours are expressed. We make an extract as
follows:
An effectual blockade is the greatest of all
blessings. 1t will develop independence,
self-reliance. industry. wealth and ingenuity.
IT. will quicken energies and abilities. which,
because they have lain dormant. the indus
trious and enterprising people OF the North
imagine we do not possess. 1t will diminish
The number of our artificial wants, and self
d-aial, demanded by necessity, under the
hallowed and animating inspirations of pa
triotism. will be exercised with cheerfuInesS;
and, once accustomed 10 do without many
of those things that have long administered
to our comfort. we can dispense with them in
all coming time. We only regret that the
ingenuity and avarice of the Inhabitants of
the realm of Yankee have not contributed
more largely to our happiness, for in that
Case the virtue of self-deniai would be called
into more vigorous action. AS 1t has been
much of our gold has been thrown away on
sp-cious. but worthless inventions, on harm
full nostrums. on gazettes that inder to the
yilest passions and utterly eschew truth, on
wetklies and monihlies that appropriate the
products of another's brain, and artfully con-
ceal the theft, on books injurious in sentiment
aud contemplate in style. Our merchants
and planters will no longer leave the larger
portion of their income at the great CONNER
cial centres and the fashionable springs and
ocean retreats in the domain of Lincoln. The
shutting up of some of these sources of pleas
ure will give occasion for the exercise of the
refining and elevating grace of selt-denial,
and the absence of many other incentives to
folly, and extravaganza, and show, while 1t
will not be felt it will be productive of great
and various good.
The resources Of the South are inexhausti-
ble and We shall be forced to develop them.
We have the talents, the industry, and the
capital. and there is nothing We get from the
North that we cannot produce and fabricate.
The blockade will be felt more severely at
New Haven aud Lynn than at the South
Lincoln Is cbastising his own subjects over
our shoulders. Aud it is not temporary
evil be is infictiDg upon them. The feeling
eBgrndered by the impending war will place
the Northern States farther from US than If
the Atlantic rolled between the two Confede-
racies. A century will not diminish the ha-
tired, and contempt, and malice with which
the strife of arms will fill our bosoms. The
loss of our custom is absolute and forever.

An Act Prohibiting the Expectation
of L otton, Except through SeaPoIts.

We have referred to the fact that an acl
had been passed by Congress prohibiting the
expectation of cotton rom the Confederate
States, except through the seapOrts of the
same. This will effectually spoil the Yam
kee calculation of receiving cotton by inland
routes. and thus breaks the coils they thought
they had US in. That the law will be rigidly
enforced. we have no doubt. The following
is copy of it:
AN ACT to prohibit the expectation of
Cotton from the Confederate States, except
through the seapOrts of said States; and to
punish persons offending therein.
SECTION l. The Congress of the COnfede-
rate States of Am-rica do enact, That from
and after the first day of June next, end du-
ring the existence of the bl )ckade of any of
the ports of the Confederate States of Amer
lea. by the Government of the United States,
it shall not be lawful for any person TO ex-
port any raw cotton or cotton yarn from the
Confederate States of America, except
through the seaports of the said Confederate
states; and it shall be the duty of all The
Marshals and revenue officers of the said
Confederate States to prevent all violations
of this act.
SEC. If any person shall violate. or at
tempt to violate or eVade, the PROVISIONS OF
the foregoing section, he shall forfeit all. the
cotton or cotton yarn thus attempted to be
illegally exported, for the use of the COnfed-
crate States; and in addition thereto, he
shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof. shall be fined in sum
not exceeding five thousand dollars, or else
imprisoned In some public Jail or penitentia-
~, for period not exceeding six months, at
the discretion of the Court. after a convic-
lion upon trial by court of competent
jurisdiction.
SEC. 8 Any person informing as to a vio-
lation or attempt to violate the provisions of
this act, shall be entitled to one-half the pro-
ceeds of the article forfeited by reason of his
information.
SEC. 4. Any Justice of the Peace on infor-
matinn under oath from any person, of vi
olaiion or attempt to violate this act. may is
sue his warrsni. and cause the cotton or cot
ton yarn specified in the affidavit. to be seized
and retained until an Investigation can be
had before the Courts Of the Confederate
States.
SEC 5. Every steamboat or railroad car.
which shall be used with the consent of the
owner or person having the same in charge.
for the purpose OF violating this act, shall be
forfeited in like manner to the use of the
Confederate States. But nothing in this act
shall be so construed as to prohibit the ex-
portation of cotton to Mexico through its CO.
terminous frontier.

Letter from Hon. Cave johnson.

In the following letter from this venerable
patriot and distinguished statesman, SO long
the favorite of large portion of the people
OF the United States, points out the path of
duty which Tennesseans ought to tread. II
is the only path of safety:
CLARKsvILLE, TENN., May %, 1861.
Dear I'm compliance with your note
of this morning, l have to state that, in my
Judgment, under the circumstances that now
-urround US. it is the best for the country
hat we should vote for SParaiOn and Repre-
sentaiOn at the approaching election
Tue conduct OF the Aiministrs ton in ma
king war upon the States, is such a subver-
sion of the Constitution that makes it the du-
y of each State to exercise, at once, all the
rights reserved in the Constitution to secure
their Independence and future prosperity.
/ should have preferred not voting for
Representation, at present, in the Southern
Cont. d-racy, and that our State should have
stood independent, under the agree nent to
act with those States offensiyelyand defensive
" during the war, and after peace, then to
have acted in concert with the other slave
holding States in the formation Of a new
Confederacy.
But as the question Is now to be voted on.
a vote against Representation would proba
bly, be construed at the North as vote ia
v0ring the policy OF the Administration. and
might induce the beli,f that there was much
greater division among Us than really exists
have concluded to give my vote for Repre-
sentItion, under the belief aud hope that a
united front would best promote the interests
of the State, and trust to making proper
Confederation when we shall have secured
peace. lam, very respectfully,
Your friend, C. JOHNSON.

JUDGE W. K. Turner made a stirring speech
at GAINESVILLE on Monday. and was followed
By Gen. QUARLEs, who, The Chronicle says,
made "a few happy remarks, particularly
applicable to those young men whose health
or pressing engagements. will not permit
them to volunteer. and for whose protection
the ladies are organizing themselves into
home guards"
Good for Jimi Send him up here, Chronicle.
We have some of that class of young men
here, who were full of fight before the war
fever sprung up in Tennessee, and bad to be
held to keep them from going to Charleston.
1t woHid be good idea for the General to
organize corps of ladies to protect them.

Must swindIe and Cheat somebod,


Since the Yankees have lost the South as
a victim of their knavery, they have turned
upon the poor soldier who has been employed
to do their fighting. We find the following
paragraphs on the subject in the New York
Tribune:
We learn from the Pitisbug Dispatch and
the PHILADELPHIA Enquirer that the swindling
jobbrry by which a heavy lot of worthless
uniforms were furnished to the Pennsylvania
troops. Is receiving thorough overhauling.
These journals give the Lame of the parties,
Chi. fly notorious politicians, who figured as
middle-men or go-betweens In these most in
famous1ransaciiOns. 1t appears that favor
ite- received contracts for furnishing parts of
uniforms al $40 each, when responsible bids
were put in for 81 SO; that panIaloons, made
of very poor material, were paid for at the
rate of IS each, when they could have been
obtained at retail for So so, affording the
maker a profit OF Is per cent. even at that
low rate The journals give the names of
prominent politicians who are charged with
having received handsome sums for c0nsum-
mating these contracts.
We know nothing personally of these
facts; but from what Is taking place in this
city and elsewhere, we have no doubt of their
general correctness.
That there Is 10 De good deal of stealing
in expanding the vast sums furnished for the
war, is to be expected. Some men who are
ostentatiously and constantly appearing be-
fore the public 10 thu guise of patriots, have
too long profted by levyiDe biack-mail upon
the legislative and Government contracts,
not TO take naturally to SO rich placer as
the current contest affords. We know them
and their acts. So long as they live they

Correspondence of the Baltimore sun]

WASHINGTON, May 70.
Blockade of the Southern Atlantic and Guy
Ports--Inartctions to Southern Prsuateers in
regard to Ne1araI HesseLs--Military Movement
against Norfolk, &c.
1t is stated in properly informed quarters
that arrangements are made by which the
Southern Atlantic and Gulf ports will all be
effectively blockaded by the government by
the 10th of June. Fifteen days notice are to
be given of the actual blockade, after which
time it will become very difficult for any yes
sci to go out or come in. There is no longer
any doubt that the blockade will be respect
ed by foreign governments, SO far as it may
be effective.
The instructions of the Montgomery gov
eminent to the privateers, recognize the
principle that free ships make free goods.
Enemy's goods, unless contraband of war,
cannot be taken in neutral vessel. Thus
great inducements are offered for the trans
fer of freights belonging to citizens of the
United States to neutral bottoms. The Cali
fornia treasure, if not retained at home, will
probably be sent in British ships, where it
will be safe from capture.
1t is generally believed that some military
operations are about to be undertaken-by the
federal troops in and near Norfolk. As Sew
ell's Point is necessary 10 the command of
Hampton Roads, it is believed that it will
soon be taken by the federal government.
