A good deal has been said about the in
efficiency Of the blockade of the southsrn
ports, but very ,unjustly. There are be-
tween two and three hundred vessels now
engaged in the blockade, and more are be-
ing brought forward. The wonder is that
80 much has been done in 80 short time.
The South feels the pressure OF the block
ade kesnly, and their sole hope Of its being
raised rests on The action Of the European
powers, who will not Interfere II the
North could only add to their present
movements the landing Of forces at vari-
GUS points on the Southern coast, the rebels
