TrIE REBEL BLOCKADE OF THB
POTOMAC.

II is well known that the Potomac Rivor
has been bockaded by tho enemy ever sipcs
last August. There has been no safe COMMIT
nication, by water, between this city and tho
capital of the nation during all this time-a
period of six months. This il one of the most
bumiliating of all the national disgraces to
which we have been compelled to submit. IL
has been most damaging to us ia tue eyes Of
the world No one circumstance has been
used more to our disadvantage with foreign
nations than this And it has helped the Rebels
just in proportion as it has injured u.s. 1t haA
been their naughty boast chat they bad main
tanned steady and efiectual sway over the great
channel of commerce between this city and
Washington, through which the immense sup
plies of our grand Army of the Potomac would
naturally have passed. Our own Government
has been subjected to very heavy expense aud
great inconvenience in consequence oil this
blockade The inhabitants of Washington have
at times, suffered from scarcity of both food
some vessel has got past tho enelny's guDs, 1t
Las been under the cover Of darkness. or at
considerable risk, in the same way that our
blockade of the Southern coast is often run By
the Rebels.
Has all this damage and disgrace been a
matter of necessity to us' or could Is by
different policy, by energy aud capacity, have
been ayodedi Let facts answer: la tho
month of July last Mr.. Marshall D. Roberts.
of this city. offered to keep the Potomac River
open, and free from oil obstruction by the
enerny's guns, for the period OF twelve months
az bis own expense; if ne succeeded the Gov
eminent to pay him whatever they thought
proper; if he did not bs would charge nothing.
Ho was in washington, at that time, with
one of his ships, fully prepared to carry his
offer into immediate execution. The PROPOSE
ton was made to Q leading member Of the
Cabinet who at once reported 1t to President
Lincoln, aud subsequently informed Mr.. Rob
erts that it was accepted with great satisiac-
ton and pleasure-as any man IN bis Selses
would suppose it must have been. But It
seems that the matter was subsequently TO
ferred TO the Secretary Of she Navy, and no
rejected the protiered service. The malicious
may say no did 50 because he could not see
any way for his brother-in-Iaw, Mr.. George d.
Morgan, to make anything cut Of It 10 the
shape of fat commissions or otherwise. Ws
are sure that such conclusions as this would do
Mr.. Welles great injustice. His errors are all Of
Judgment not of intention. But. whatever the
reason, the Potomac has remained blockadei,

to zee that bis opponent did not deign to
reply.
The temper Of Mr.. Garlic. upon every oc-
casion on which tho Slavery question comes be-
fore the Seuate, is such as may well suggest
additional caution in respect to the admission
Of the State which be claims to represent. If
the rights of the Rebel States are so sacred as
he pretends, it may be well to inquire whether
they nre TO be violated for bis benefit, and
whether his section has any claim to outrage
and dismember the Old Dominion. 1t may be
well to repair the wrong which has already
been done to o constitutional State, if the con.
sti,utiOna rights Of the Rebellion are to be so
rlgidly observed, to let the Counties of West
ern Virginia return to their humble allegiance
to the shareholders whose rights their repre-
sentative 30 teDaciously defends, and to allow
Mr.. Garlic himself to return to the obscurity
from which no has emerged apparently to so
little purpose.

TEE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The War Department has. recel7ed diS'
patch from Gen. Buell. stating that he TOOK
Nashville without opposition, that the Rebels
left everything standing and fled, that vast
quantities Of property were captured ana lnH'
the Union feeling is strong in oil that REGION
Gen. Nelson ia in command there.
The report that the Rebels are e'acua''ng
Columbus is confirmed. The Memphis papers
Of the 18th say that Gen. Polk had on the
previous day issued orders that the track Of
tbe Memphis aud Ohio Railroad should be
torn up. preparatory to leaving Columbus, and
DESTROYING the fortiiications. 1t was thought
that they were to retire to an island about
A. miles below the city, which commands
the river and can be strongly fortified. From
another source We learn that they are erecting
works for miles above Memphis, with view
TO defend that city TO the last. Gen. Critten-
den has joined Johnston at Murfree:boTo.
The Southern planters have recently held
meeting in Richmond to consider the expedi'
ency of destroying their crops OF cotton and
tobacco, inasuuch % the efforts Of the Union
armies are mainly directed toward robbing
Z" the South of their accumulations of these
two great staples" This looks as though
they were convinced that their cause is hope
less; it is not probable that the Message OF
JEFF. Davis. elsewhere printed and referred to,
has materially raised their spirits.
In the Rebel Congress resolution has been
introduced declaring that the people will give
their last dollar and last red drop of blood to
the struggle for their independence. Probably
the people will have word to cay on the sub
ject.
Gen. Haeck has issued IN order stating that
the Rebels left poisoned food at Midtown,
Ark. for the purpose of destroying our troops,
and that severe punishment must and shall be
inflicted as soon as the guilty parties can be
caught. The perpetrators of the deed are to
be hanged. and their officers to be put in irons
and held for trial for neglect in preventing the
crime.

MESSAGE FROM JEFF
DAElH.

We print this morning a Message Just sent
to the Rebel Congress by JEFF. Davis. 1t is
gloomy in its spirit, but dctatorial in its tone;
JEFF. talks like an autocrat.
lie begins by the frank announcement,
" events have demonstrated that the Govern
ment has attempted more than il has had
power 10 achieve Among other things, it
set about establishing manufactures for arm.
and ordnance; this scheme would appear not
to have been success, for the Message ssys
"The results have not equaled our hopes; "
nevertheless, it calls for credit on ac-
count of what was attempted, and on
the ground that they had done oil they could
do. Davis hints that their success in obtaining
arms abroad has not been startliDg'y great
either, and things in this direction generally
are apparently unpTomising. Tho Rebel Presi.
dent continues by saying that be had hoped
for official dispatches concerning the recent
" dlscomiiture AZ RosnOke Island, and the
loss Of Fort Donelson, speaking not word
about the other points where the cause Of
treason has received check. Concerning the
Roanoke affair he doee not attempt to con-
ceal his deep chagrin; he is mortified,
not to say disguised. Touching Fort Donelson
he says he really hopes that the reports have
been exaggerated, for that he cannot believe
8, vast an army would surrender without o
desperate attempt to cut its way through the
opposiDg force. Strenuous efforts are now
] tc .aula IN al
the threatened points; and the Message e.
presses the belief that the news hereafter will
be as favorable to the Rebels rs they could
wish Concerning the resources of tho South,
Mr.. Davis has " cheering hopes " that these
though limited at the commencement OF the
rebelliou--wili develop during the progress OF
the war to the fullest need of the Government.
He is savage on the subject OF enstIncnts
He is Of the opinion that the war rs to be oi

OF the Senate yesterday. The new Senator
himself offered resolution looking TO an H.
Testigation of the charges against him. Mr..

the feelings Of any one, but tbis did not restore
peace, and somewhat extended talk ensued,
with no valuable result.

Onr Washington dispatch of several days ago
contained a paragraph concerning an alleged
fraud in legislation, wherein it was stated that
certain words were nterpolated into bill after
its passage Mr. ForDey publishes III our col
umus this morning card, denying this report,
and saying that the passage referred to was
put in BY the Senate, after the original draft
had been made Mr.. Wade, as viii be seen
by our Congressional report, made similar
statement in the Senate, saying that he ex-
planned the clause when il was inserted; Mr.
Grimes OF Iowa, however, declared that the
explanation mad never been made, and implied
that the affair had not been with sufficient
candOI accomplished. 1t seems clear that some
unexpected use was made Of the inserted clause,
OF least; for resolutions OF inquiry were, three
or four days sgo, ,utroduced into both Houses
of Congress showing that neither branch knew
tully what the bill authorized, but that both
were taken by surprise.
