Peace Not Far Of:-The New
York Herald commenting upon the
position Of England in regard to the
Blockade. says:
What is the duty of the Govern
ment and the people of the free States
under these circumstances? 1t is to
put forth every effort to defeat the
rebel army il the next great battle.
Il this is done victory for the North
is certain, and the experience We
have gained at Fig Bethel, Bull Run
ana Davis Greek Is not in vain. The
next turn to win is rightfully ours
and old scores being thus wiped. out,
and the sting Of southern superiori-
ty in arms extracted, let arrange
ments Immediately be made for the
restoration OF peace, instead OF con-
tinuing an insane and suicidal strife
for the amusement Of England, France,
! Spain and all the naval powers Of
Europe.

Yankees will be permitted to whip
next time, just because they think il

Raising the Blockade.


This important subject is handled in i
all imaginable ways by our intelligent
contemporaries Of the South,. and. so
far as we have observed. they all look
to foreign powers to accomplish this
end. In fact. it would appear that
we are now to look n3 longer at home
for attempts to do away with the
blockade, hut, on the contrary, the
cry is our cotton must be had BY
Europe, we need not exert ourselves
France or England win interfere in
our behalf, and it will not be long
before they raise the blockade. We
feel panied to note such express ions,
coming as they do from native born
citizens Decidedly opposed are we
