DYING WORDS OF BISHOP MEADE.


The Richmond Enquirer reports that Bishop
Meade, on his death bed said to friend:
Tell your people to be more determined than
ever. This is the most uni ust and Ubiquitous war
that waged, and must be more deter
mined than ever. God will give us success in His
good time"
The parting words Of the venerable Prelate
convey the jud gment which history will pass upon
this infamous war-the most atrocious and dia-
bolical since the dawn of christianity. The ma
tions of Europe will not be held guiItless in the
eye of Deity for the Indifference. or rather quasi
support, which they extend to the foul marauders,
who seek to deprive a free people of fortune,
liberty and life. The PARTITION of Poland was

South, exceeds in wickoGncss all. that in

LETTER THROUGH THE BLOCKADE A
gentleman Of this city (says the Columbia Ga,
Times, has just received letter through the
blockade from his Liverpool correspondent who
resided in the South over twenty years. We are
permitted to make the following extracts from the
letter, which is dated January 81, 1862:
To my great satisfaction received Yesterday
your letter of December goth; all previous letters
after November 18th, have failed to reach ME.
No letters by the Tampico route have come to
hand, and the talk upon Change is that the route
is a failure. Don't make any advances on cotton;

cotton dealers and manufacturers look for very
low prices when the blockade is removed They
say that the large supply from India AID other
places brought to market by our present high

all believe that you cannot be conquered if YOU are
united and determined. Our Government no

solved to act the part of neutrals, and thus leave
you to fight it out. Mason and Sldell arrived on
the La Plata. All England and France are in
dignant at the cowardy act of blockading Charles
ton with stone feet. You have glorious
future before you. If your people are true to
themselves, you will be triumphant and command
the acknowledgment of all nations"
