of truce to Columbus to-day to exchange pri
soners. Gen. Polk refused to exchange, ow-

Ready to welcome the Enemy.

speaking of the anticipated landing of the
enemy near that place, says:
Carolina and Georgia are nobly co-opera-
ting and making common cause against the
enemy. Land where he may, he will have

We learn that Gov Pickens telegraphed
yesterday to our Mayor offering any assis-
lance that may be needed, while our town
authorities have rendered fifteen hundred
troops TO South Carolina, in case Charleston
or Port Royal should be attacked.
We are rejoiced to see the spirit with
which our entire people, old and young,
male and female, contemplate the prospect
of an early measuring of arms with the foe.
There is no fear, no excitement, bn- a firm
yet quiet resolve to dispute his MAJ oh even

Is the blockade EGeetIvee

sHThe heretofore magic word, cotton, is
scarcely lisped nowadays OF the flags. Some
PROFESSIONALLY operators-hope that the
blockade may be broken or raised. but hop
ing will not effect it. 1t is manifest that
Great Britain viii adhere to the position she
assumed months age-a strict neutrality.
There has been much talk and great many
comments on W hat has been termed running
the blockade. RepoEts-aDd they wiiIproye
TO be simple reports-say that SIG vessels
have run the blockade since the 10th of May
last. This is very wild estimate. even if it
Is supported by returns or statements in the
departments at Richmond. The blockade
was enforced off the mouths of the Mississippi
river on the 18th of May, at which time there
were forty sail of vessels in this port out
ward bound, which were. permitted TO pro-
.eeed to sea. The blockade commenced off
Mobile and Pensacola about the same time
Vessels were allowed to leave these ports I'M
til the 9Th of June. As for SIG vessels rum
ming the blockade, we don't believe they can
be figured up. The report came from the
city of rumors, Richmond. So far as New
Orleans is TO be considered, the last arrivals
via the Balize were on the 29th of May last
Vessels trading ON Mississippi Sound TO Mo-
bile cannot be embraced as running the
blockade. If so, the coast packet Creole has
been running it tri.weekly. There havebeen
SOIiS dITiNdiS anu departures OF -scuOOueTS
from the bayous and bays on the Gull, but
they would form very moderate share of the
number of 5l6. There have been some
coasting vessels on the coast of Carolina
eyading the blockade: but all these will not
count up Sic. On the other hand, the Hes
sian steamer South Carolina. has captured
seventeen schooners in attempting TO run the
gauntlet between New Orleans and Texas
ports. There have been only three or four
vessels from Europe the Der mud a-that
have successfully run the blockade. Some
few West India traders have met with success
on the Carolina coast. 1t is misleading for
eiga Governments to make assertions of this
character, that the blockade is easily avoided.

New Orleans via the river for over five
months, and only one via thet lakes from

is effeetual or intellectual. 1t is, however,
thought that the steamer Nashville has got

Theodore, or Gordon, made a successful trip
from that port to Cnba and back. We learn
that Messrs. Slide1l and Mason were to have

British steamer for Southampton.

How TO MAKE A NICE THING OF IT.
We are informed that more than twenty
thousand of the thirty thousand horses
purchased for the United States in this
market, were in the first place bought up
by agents, and cost from sixty-fiye to
ninety dollars per head. It would be in
teresting to know at how. great an adj
vance they were sold to the Government.
The probability is, that Uncle Sam, who
has always been blind man in a horse
trade, did not at any rate pay much less
and probably paid more than one hundred
dollars per horse. The advance in price
of the horses during the passage through
the hands of the spectators was of
course so much clear gain. The sum
realized can hardly be less than quar-
ter of million of dollars Cincinnati
Commercial. - -
Possibly the editors of the Louisville
Journal can give their Yankee brother
some interesting information upon this
important matter.

On Monday afternoon Com. Tattnan, with
his little feet, went within mile of the
Yankee squadron and engaged them nearly
an hour, until they came within range of the

aim of my ambition, after having cast my

The Moral OF the Leesburg Victory.
The victory of Leesburg was not only glo-

ton. The heroes of that fight have thus
rendered their country double service /;

generous praise due to their gallantry, ap-
propriately and eloquently calls upon his
