From the Vineeanes Qndiana) Suul
The Cincinnati Commercial don't like the
proceedings of the Both July convention. We
did not expect it would. A paper which has
advocated the following sentiments can not have
any sympathy with those who are striving to
maintain the Constitution as it is and the Union
as il was. The extracts below are copied from
editorials in the Commercial:
War for the subjugation Of the seeeders would
be unwise and deplorsble.
If there are two nations here who have been
living in sn unnatural Union, they should, for
the benefit Of one or both, be separated.
The sun viii shine as brightly and the rivers
run as clear, the cotton fields win be as white
and the wheat fields as golden, when we &C.
knowledge the Sou hern ConGderscy.
We are not in favor Of blockading the South
ern coast. We are not in favor Of taking by
force the property of the United States now in
possession Of the seceders. We would reeog
nize the existence Of a government formed of all
the seeding States, aud attempt to cultivate
amicabls relations with it."

From the Wilmington On. q JougnaLJ
By a recent arrival at 3 Confederate port We
have Nassau dates to the Both ult By toe sans
medium We learn that the steamer "Oreto'
(this is the exact %speling) which had been
seized and detained as q Confederate war vessel
was released on last Friday.
The Federal cruisers capture vessels bound TO
Nassau under English colors within sight Of
land, on the plea that they have run, are going
to run, or have goods that are destined to run
the blockade. We confess to a good deal Of
surprise at learning the extent and character OF
the ontrages to which the once proud mistress
Of the seas has submitted at the hands Of Lin
coins armed vessels.
Nassau is q "sscesh'' port-ths very negroes
60 for the Confedsrscy-for the business of
running the blockade" from that port has siven
il a start which it never had before, and there.
too, the price of provisions has gone up largely
on account Of the Unprecedented number OF
vessels calling for supplies, especially Ia the
way Of vegetables. The Yankees will let moth
ing be shipped from any Northern port excent
on the shipper giving bond that il is not, in any
event, to be carried to any porl in the Confeder-
ate States. Even goods brought by the Cunard
steamers to New York can only be re-shipped
on the sans conditions.
It must be confessed that the British colonial
press is rather aboriginal. Editorial there

seems to be none. The American civil war. d.
reetly or indirectly, is the topic which, in one
way or another, fills the columns Of the Nassau
press. The battles before Richmond had been
heard from and rejoiced over almost as much in
Nassau as in the Southern States.
We notice in the Nassau Guardian cf the 30fb
ult., the arrival of thu steamer Lodons from
Hull, ria Bermuda, with an assorted cargo to
H. Adderly d Co. Also the schooner Louisa
from Charleston, S c., to the same, with tur-
psntine. The steamer Mimic cleared On the
18th ult. for st Johns n. B., with an assorted
cargo to II Adderly & Co, which, we suppose,
means John Fraser & Co.
We cut the following from the Nassau AdUer.
tiser, of the oh ult, IN regard to the capture
OF British vessels in British waters. on suspicion
of carrying contraband Of war:
THE FEDERAL SHIP ADIRONDAC-This ship
sailed from here to-day. She sailed under sealed
orders from New York for these waters, and We
understand that the Federal government has
dispatched several other vessels for the sans
destination. Since her strange conduct in
and firing upon the British steamer Her
aid within q mile aud 3 bali or two miles Of our
harbor, she has been quietly lying at anchor
outside OF Hog Island. We understand that
Capt. Gsnsevoort asserts his right 20 cspture
vessels suspected IF carrying c3ntrabaud Of war
within three miles of enY coast.
No doubt the homo government will be placed
in possession Of all the facts connected with
this case, by our colonial government, and that
satisfaction will BE- demanded from the
government for this apparently wrong
act of its servants.

The Annapolis (Md.) Gazette, heretofore the
organ Of the administration qarty in the Gil
Congressional district. speaking of the late pro
n~unciamento of President Lincoln to the border
State congressman, delivers itself as follows:
But the most singular feature of the address
is q vague and timid sllUsi0n TO the abolition
pressure brought TO bear upon the President,
and his evident conviction that the destruction
Of slavery in the border States would be q sufi-
cient step to the abolition Cerberus. Give the
dogs tHst bone and they viii readily furnish
men TO push further South; doubtless in the
hope Of freeing more negroes. Conversely, we
suppose, if they do not get what they demand,
no more means Will be furnished for the prose-
eution Of the war.
This IS our Interpretation Of the Presidents
meaning. II it be correct, we would like to
know if such humiliating speech has ever be-
fore come from the White Housel And is il
not an absolute and positive declaration that the
war is for the negro, and not for the restoration
of the Union; that the President is opposed to
such q policy, but is obliged to adopt til We
can read the seeming riddle in no other way.
And, If our reading be correct, re have nc hest
tation in expressing the hope that the days of
thu Republic are numbered. We wish to hear

BREACH or FAITH The New York Herald
asserts that the Lincoln government have re-
leased four hundred of our prisoners upon their
taking the oath of allegiance. We have reason
to believe, says the Richmond Dispatch, thatthe
number is greatly exaggerated, but, whatever
toe number, 1t is = clear violation CT the terms
OF the cartel lately agreed upon between the two
governments. 1t becomes the imperative duty
Of the Southern government to hold on to an
equal number Of Lincoln's prisoners until the
Yankees perform their obligations in good faith.
It is clear that they have no idea Of honor in their
relations with rebels and can only be made
to keep their contracts upon ~compulsion.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AND SHOOTING IN
RICHMOND, KEETUCKY-We learn, says the
Lexington Observer, that on Sunday last there
was great excitement IN Richmond in coase-
quence Of several arrests, which resulted in the
death Of one mau aud severely wounding two
Others. A squad Of soldiers attempted to arIes&

stated, fred upon the soldiers, and attempted to

Miller vas instantly killed, and Stous perhaps
mortally wounded.
About the same time james Breck was shot
in the streets of Richmond by J. III Shsekel-
ford, clerk Of the Madison circuit court. We
understand that Mr.. S attempted to arrest
Breck TO take him to the miutary camp, and
upon his resistance shot him. Breck, it ap

is asserted he was a member of Pdee's army.

The Custom Of Wearing Mourning foz Cur
Gallant bend.

During the American revolution, Congress.
having no power to make laws, frequently
recommended such measures as were deemed
proper and conducive to the public welfare.
DR.. Green, in his autobiography, remarks that
9 no law by a Legislature, nor any mandate is
sued by a despotie. sovereign, ever received G
more prompt, strict and universal obedience
than these recommendations of Congress- He
alludes especially to two instances: " to forbesr
entirely the use Of East India teas, and to dis
continue all expense in mourning, beyond the
wearing Of a piece of Grape on the left arm. I"
Would it not be well for the Confederate Con
gress to renew this last recommendation
When so many households throughout the
South are called upon TO mourn the loss Of GEAR
ones, the custom Of wearing mourning adds
greatly to expenditure and detrects to that ex-
tent from our ability to maintain this unequal
struggle. It IS unnecessary to remark that such
goods are now very scarce and costly, sndmany
are compelled, in obedience to custom, to make
sacrifices which they cannot well afford. Let
the wealthy classes set the example in this re-
spect. Oar gallant dead, who have poured out
their life's blood in defense of our liberty, wiz be
none the less remembered.
