THE Running BLooD-We have al of us
heard, many and many time since this rebel
lion began that in the war inaugurated by the
South, for what its demagogues are pleased to
call Southern Independence" should the Fed
eral Government attempt to hold or maintain its
own, the best blood of all the chivalrous States
should "ruu like water" in defence of their
homes, firesides, and colored dependents. They
were to gather army matchless in numbers,
courage and skill, full of great names, and rich
in the best of blood, and, at the approach of
Northern mercenaries, were to hurl it forward
to crush the foe, or waste rivers of the best
blood upon it. Their blood was to run. And
run, too, Ike no bleeding vein, but like the dis
severed ar.ery-not in trickling current, but
a red gushing life stream. They might be sue
cessful-might be deieated-in that case more
blood and redder. Rivers were to run scarlet,
fields to be ensanguined, the mountain tops
CORY, and the valleys smoking with the hot
blood of the sacrifice Everywhere Southern
blood was to run-run like water.
Well, the campaign is just beginning to open.
We have had an opportunity to see the best
blood of Virginia run. We have seen it run at
Alexandra, at Grafton, at Hampton, and down
on the Potomac shores. They have made good
their boast that in this struggle the best blood
of the South shall run. 1t has run-not ''like
WATER" perhaps, but to be inelegant and forci-
ble-"likc the ID" 1t has run not merely
from flowing vein, or yet from gushing artery
not by the gill even gallon-but by hogs
heads, and butts, it has run, in the ''original
packages" where Nature storedit 1t is running
yet. We may not see its crimson, or mark it's
ebbing pulse; but Virginia shows the channel
where it run, and Northern mercenaries"
shrived the departing soles.
So far, it has run well. May be it's running
still If So may we not repeat the words of the
good little boy who, according to the legend,
stood calmly by the busted molasses cask, 'lick
stick" in hand, and remarked, "Let her run"

The agents in New Orleans Of the steamship
General Miramon received despatch from Posse.
a.pOutre on the 3lst ut., stating that vessel
had been captured and sent North by the govern
ment steamer Brooklyn. The General Miramon
was owned in New Orleans, but had been sailing
between that port and Havana under the British
flag. The New Orleans papers also state that the
schooner Mary Clinton, with a cargo of rice and
peas, bound from.C Charleston to New Orleans had,
been seized and sent North. The Bremen ship
Bremen and the bark Everhard had been ordered
of, and the bark II. L. Spering, from Rio, with
cargo of forty hundred bags Of coffee was re-
ported to have been captired for attempting to
run the blockade. The rebels in New Orleans
have been for two or three weeks chuckling over
the capture of Northern vessels by their licensed
buccaneers. The laugh has now changed on the
other side. 1t is stated that the steamer Brook
lyn intends to ascend the river to the head of
the passes, where she would be equal to half a
dozen vessels outside the bar.

GEN. ScoTr AND THE TRAITOR DAyIs.-When
Frank. Pierce occupied the Presidential chair,
jeff Davis, the arbitrator, was Secretary OF
War. At that time it seemed to be the policy
of Pierce and Davis, for some cause, to humble
OF the people and the spotless pnrity of the Old
HERDS character prevented the conspirators flor
we can only regard the efforts for that purpose
as conspiracy from carrying out their designs.
Gen. Scott came out of the controversy yindica-
ted; his reputation was uninjured, and it is rela
ted of him oy those who knew the man, that he
has never forgiven Davis the mean part he play
ed in that business. Therefore Gen. Scott em-
braces the present to repay Davis for his treach-
cry not only to his country, but also for his dast
ardly treatment of himself Scott is determined
to surround and hem in the arbitrator, 80 as to
make his escape impossible, if he heads his rebel
cohorts in all open field, unless he does SO by his
own hands in suicide. The plan and the purpose
is TO take Davis and as many of his advisers as
possible prisoners, and having them in possession
make speedy and prompt example of each
after fair trial. There is no reason in vast
ing powder on snch wretches. Death By the
bullet would afford an honorable transit for
them from this to another world Hemp is what
they have earned-iniamy is what they deserve
and it seems to be the purpose of Gen. Scott,
while he is endeavorng to carry on his campaign
without the loss Of life among those whom he is
leading, to bring the traitors to terrible pun
ishment. So far as Davis is concerned, we trust
that the Old Hero may realize all his dreams Of
retriubtion and retaliation.

JEyF DAVIS As A PRoPHEr-We find in a re-
ported speech Of JEFF Davis, Of June, 1857, that
''while disclsimins being an alarmist, he urged
the citizens of the South to prepare for the mon.
ster crisis, when the Union will be severed, which
is to come in 1860" Thus we see that before
Abraham Lincoln WAS dreamed of as a candidate
for the Presidency, and in the very first year of
M. Buchanan's administration, this Southern
rebellion of 1850 was resolved upon, and that
Davis predicted it Is one having authority.

THE CHANCES OF BATTLE.-"At Waterloo"
said Napoleon, Il ought to have been victorious.
The chances were hundred to one in my favor.
But Ney, the bravest of the brave, at the lead
of AZ, 900 Frenchmen, suffered himself to be
delayed a whole day by some thousand of Mas
sau troops. Had it not been for this inexplica-
BILE inactivity, the English army would have
been taken fagranta delietu, and annihiated
without striking blow. Grouchy, with 10000
men, suffered Bulow and Butcher to escape
him, and finally, heavy shower of rain made
the ground so soft that it was impossible to
commence the attack at daybreak. Had been
able to commence early, Wellington's army
would have been trodden down in the defiles of
the forest before the Prussians could have had
time to arrive. 1t were otherwise lost without
resource The defeat of Wellington's army
would have been peace, the repose of Europe,
the recognition of the power of the masses, and
of the Democracy Montholons History.

PERILoUs ADVENTURE AT NIAGARA FALLS
The MAID OF THE MIST" GOES THROUGH THE
RAPIDS AND THE WHIRLPooL.-Yesterday after.
noon one ofthe most perilous voyages ever chron-
icied, was made by the little steamer Maid of the
Mist, in which so many pleasure.seekers have, in
times past voyage to the face of the immense
sheet of water which constitutes the famous Falls
of Niagara. 1t appears that the boat was never
paying property, and her owner had incurred some
Indebtedness which was about to result in seiz.
ure. To avoid this catastrophe she was, yester.
day taken down the river through the Rapids
and the Whirlpool, and arrived safely at Lewis
ton! The daring navigator, who accomplished
this hitherto supposed to be impossible feat. was
none other than Robinson, the man who hiss so
often rendered himself conspicuous by his intre-
pidity in saving life and property endangered by
proximity to the great cataract.
The Maid Of the Mist got up steam about half
past O'clock and showed out into the stream
from her landing. She had on board only three
persons--Robinson and one other man at the
wheel, and the third below, to act as fireman and
engineer. The boat ran up stream short dis.
lance, as if to get good start, and then her
prov was pointed with the current, and away
she went-the few spectators on shore holding
their breath with suspense. Low the adventur-
ers on board felt, we have no means of knowing
As she entered the rapids, every eye was strained
and as the gallant little craft surnounted billow
after billow, under the skillful guidance of her
pilot. ard passed each ordeal in safety, the ut
most enthusiasm was manifested. At one point
however, a thrill of horror struck the hearts of
the watchers, for the Maid of the Mist appeared
to have capsized The surprise was only for an
instant however, for she Immediately righted
with the loss of the smoke stack, and passed OF :
erwise unframed. To run the Whirlpool, though
hazardous was still less hazardous exploit than
passing the Rapids, and she did it withot trouble
and those who saw the boat emerging into com.
paratively still water, drew long sigh of relief
1t is teI sibe ordeal, as it has long been taken
for granted that no craft as small that could
live moment in the seath!ng cauldron of the
Rapids, or escape from the Whirlpool after enter
ing its circle. No other craft, either large or
small, has ever attempted to perform the trip.
The Maid of the Mist will never again be seen in
the theatre of her past history. TO ascend the
Rapids is physical impossibility for asteamer
of any power. Robinson has been for many
years ambitious to make the trip, and oGce offer
ed to do it in a skiff, but could find no one 10
encourage the undertaking.

THE LATE KENTUCKY BORDER STATE Con-
vENTIoN AND THE Results OF ITS LABoRs.-We
publish the address ito the people Of the United
States" from the Border Slave State Conven-
ton, lately held at Frankfort, Kentucky. and
presided over by the Hon. John J. Crittenden.
1t is painful document, but exceedingly valua-
BILE, from its exposition of the dangerous and
slippery attitude of Kentucky. II this is the
very best that the leading Union men of the
State have the liberty 10 offer US of the loyal
| States in behalf of the Union, then the sooner
that the substantial Union argument OF body
| of twenty or thirty thousand armed Union men
is crossed over into Kentucky the better will it
| be for that people.
Between the Government Of the United States
and the bogus concern of JEFF. Davis, this Ken
tucky Conservative Convention stands as foolish
donkey might stand, between a bundle of deli
| cious hay and n bundle of thistles, hesitating
| which to choose. The hero of the ''Beggars'
OPERA between the two sweethearts, sings, in
| his embarrassment when each demands the mo-.
nopoly of his favers-
How happy could be with either
Were t'other dear charmer away.
| And SO with Kentucky. She loves the Union,
but she has laundering for JEFF. DAVIS. She
cannot fight against the one, and she will not
fight against the other, and SO Mr.. Crittenden
and his associates ask for an arnistice-a Com
promise from Congress which will secure to
shareholders their legal rights and allay their ap-
prehensions in regard to the future" or, failing in
this, they ask next "a voluntary convention, COM
posed Of delegates from the people of all the
States, in which measures of peaceful adjust
ment may be devised and adopted"
Compromise Bah! Talk of compromise
during storm to the angry waves OF the SEE
and the imnovable rock against which they are
dashed and broken to pieces; but it is too soor
to ak OF compromise between our Southern
insurgents and the benignant Government snc
generous people whom these insurgents have
robbed, nsulted and driven to war. "Voluhta
~ Convention !" Pooh pooh! Let the cur
tain be dropped over this Border State Conven
ton, and let a detachment Of the United States
forces be marched over into Kentucky without
further delay. She. like Maryland and Missouri
can only be saved to the Union by Union arm!
sufficiently strong to encourage her law and or

Fifty thousand dollars of the bonds of the
Southern Confederacy, belonging to parties in
New Orleans who were forced to sell them, were
disposed of fortnight ago, at the rate of ten
cents on The dollar. Only five thousand dollars
could be obtained in that market, for the entire
lot, which within few months cost 100000
This is fact, and it is unmistakable evidence of
the amount OF confidence felt by business men
at the South in the prospects OF the rebellion
The bonds undoubtedly bring more now than
thew ever will again. Yet the sagacious Cobb
hopes to induce the planters to sell the rebel
leaders their cotton for these worthless bonds,
and allow them to turn the cotton into cash.
