Free ShiuS. Free Goods.

On the 9th day of May last an act was passed by
the Confederate Congress recognizing the existence
of war with the United States, and authorizing the
issue of letters of marque. 1t was distinctly pro-
vided in the bill, that ''property of the enemy
(unless it be contraband of wary laden on board
neutral vessel shall not be subject to seizure" In
issue of Saturday we gave extracts from the
English journals showing the position now held by
European powers in regard to privateering, and
expressing opinion to the course England
would take when she learned the policy which
President Davis had ''adopted." By the careless
ness of the copy reader the word "deserted" was
substituted for "adopted." The phrase should
read 'that the Southern COME ieracy adopted the
old American doctrine of 1872, that free ships make
iree goods" Though satisfied that few could have
been mised by so papable a typographical error,
we deem it prudent to correct il.

We hold this truth be sefevident, that governments
