"Tbe loved one, aearer than ALL"

RATHER FLIGHFY.-A correspondent from
Jeffrie's Greek sends the Mercury the follow
ing suggestion, which it publishes in its
editorial columns with the comment that it
certainly possesses the merit of intense
originality"
Among the many projects for destroying
the blockade, the following plan seems to me
to combine less risk of life than would attend
any other with an equal chance of success:
Prepare number of large iron shells, loaded
with 100 pounds OF powder and due proper
ton of destructive missiles. Let the shells
be heavier on one side, and let this side be
fitted with nipples for percussion caps, COM
municating with the charge. Take these
shells up in balloons, and when at conyenl-
ent altitude above the blockading squadron,
allow them to descend upon, the enemy's
decks. The shells should be OF sufficient
weight 10 penetrate the deck Of any vessel
upon which they might be dropped. Even
if this plan were impracticable upon the
seas, it might serve 70 clear the harbors,
such as Tybee and Port Royal.

A CHANCE FOB HERoRs.-In the eonduc. of
the war thus far there has been nothing
worthy to be classed as military strategy.
There have been no mastery moves, but on
the contrary, mastery inactivities. There
are splendid chances for heroes in these days.
Who will improve them2 Wolfe ct Quebec
did not wait for chances He made them.
Napoleon created opportunities, so did Wash
ineton, when he marched upon Trenton aud
Princeton. Now is the time for the highest
order of military genius. Strange, indeed,
it would be, If on so vast q field, and on SO
long a line, with such variety OF intsrc0m'
municatiOn of seaWard, river and railroad as
ours, there were not some moves to be made
which would insure success.

PRINCE ALBERT's CoURTsHP.--The London
papers have begun their "reminiscences of
Prince Albert, and some pretty stories are
told of the royal courtship, one of which
states that he played the part of royal
lover with all the grace peculiar to his house.
He never willingly absented himself from
the Queens society and presence, and her
every wish was anticipated with the alacrity
of an unfeigned attachment. At length her
Majesty, having wholly made up her mind,
found herself in come measures embarrassed
as to fit and proper means of indicating her
preference to the Prince, but acquitted her
self with delicacy and tact. At one of the
palace balls she took occasion to present her
bouquet to the Prince at the conclusion OF q
dance, and the hint was not lost upon the
polite and gallant German. His close uni
form, buttoned up to the throat, did not ad-
nit OF his placing the Persian like gift where
it would be most honored so he immediately
drew his peHknife, and cut slit in his dress
in the neighborhood Of his heart, where he
deposited the happy omen.

II was shown that the average price OF Ameri'
can cotton in England would not be under
si1pence per pound, and that, therefore, all
those many" countries which could make q
profit out of cotton at sixpence pound, might
set to work to supply Liverpool without mucn
fear 81 losing their labor.
The replies of the representatives OF the
several countries show that there will DO
lively competition for getting the lions snare
in these GO. Co., 900 or f40,OOOOOO. Many
countries claim to possess cotton fields large
enough to supply the entire demand OF Europe
India, Australia, Africa, South America are
most sanguine in their promises oeVera'
countries can already command labor cheap
enough to produce cotton at Sd. pound or
even less; Others have no doubt that they can
furnish it to England at less than cd. as soon
as they get laborers from India and CHINA
But nearly all will enter the race with vlsor.
The competition with the cotton trade Of
our Southern States is therefore no longer
merely prosp ective, but has begun in earnest

meeting quoted return of the quantities OF
cotton imported in 1861 and 1862 as follows;

that the others should report to him and take bis
orders. It seems to us evident that the Union
cause has suffered already from the multiplicity
of independent commands in that district, and
is likely to suffer still more if these commands
be not consolidated. But, as we disclaim all
acquaintance with strategy, our judgment IN
the premises is of no account.
But Napoleon has taught people as ignorant
as we are that the first rule in war is to be
strongest on the decisire point, no matter ho~
,reak ereryuhere else. The Rebels always act
upon it; hence their two Virginia armies beat
one of ours at Bull Run last year, while Gen.
Patterson held our other army idle and useless
two marches away. Hence their concentration
of all their forces against Mcclellan before
Richmond the last of June, while we had men
enough to have whaled the life out OF them
standing idle and useless on the Potomac, the
Shenandoah, and the Rappahannock. They
have tried this again about Manassas, with
some initial advantage; but we must not let
them win by it third time. They have
probably ordered up every effective regiment
they have in Virginia, and will soon be draw
ing re.enforcements from East Tennessee.
And if we have anywhere q regiment
that can stand charge from squad OF horse
mon, let it be pushed to the Potomac at the
earliest moment. Strip Fortress Monroe to the
bare walls; abandon Fredericksburg, the Val
ley, the Kanawha, everything; give Tennessee
and Kentucky temporarily to the Rebel guer-
rlllas; let Missouri be once more ravaged by
her own traitors, aided by those of Arkansas;
but never let Lee and Stonewall Jackson re-
cross the Rappahannock until they are thor
oughly whipped or we are. If they can beat
us, they will, and we must take the conse-
quences; if they are beaten, they must be
crushed eOectuay. Quaker guns must not
save them again. They have staked their oil
on bold throw, and if they lose they must pay
the forfeit. And wo feel confident that they
will.

When Gen. Mcclellan was digging and bis
men were dying in the Chickahominy swamps,
we urged the sending to him of every regiment
that could be spared from other points 1t
was no tilneto discuss Gen. McC.s capacities or
the fitness of his selection to lead our grand
army-points on which we had very decided
opinions-for if he we're good General his
assertion that no needed re-eniorcements was
conclusive, and, if bad one, the need was
only so much the greater. We do not decide
that any one was to blame; but we deeply re-
greet that Gen. McDowell's corps was not sent
to REINFORCE Gen. Mcclellan before Richmond,
no matter at what cost.
Now there can be no doubt that every regi-
mcnt, every battery, every squadron, should
be hurried to the support of Gen. Pope in the
shortest possible time. We say of Gen. Pope,
meaning of the Army which confronts the
Rebel host now threatening Washington. Who
should command that Army il a question TO be

he has done 80 much for riveting tho chains OF
the slaves, nothing has been achieved by him
to loosen them.
DIR. Thornwell was, of course, ON ardent
partisan of the Rebellion. When the Conven'
ton which assembled 10 South Carolina to pass
the Ordinance of Secession met, they sent
messenger to request him to open their hrst
session with prayer. IIe felt no hesitation IN
complying with the request, and invoked DIVINE
blessing upon an empire whose cornerstone
was to be tho subjugaion of millions OF men,
In his native State. DR.. Thornwell was one
of the most influential citizens. He was
pronounced by John C.. Calhoun to be the
greatest man of his acquaintance, aud, but
for bis clerical character would probably
have succeeded Calhoun in the United States
Senate. He became a Professor and later
the President of South Carolina College. A
few years since he resigned tho Presidency
and was elected Professor of Theology IN the
Theological Seminary at Columbia South Car
DINA. This position he still held OF the time
of his death.
The issue Of the war, will, to large ex-
tent, decide the fate of the churches in which
the Pro.Slayery views Of DR.. Thornwell are
held. In the North, fortunately, the out
break of the Rebellion. and the uprising oil
the loyal population for the defense OF the
Union against the plot of tho Shareholders has
put an end to the influence of the pernicious
doctrines of DIR. Thornwe-we hope, forever.

MORE ARRESTS.

We regret to learn that the Secretary OF
War has consigned the persons engaged IN IN
surfing against draft, who were arrested IN this
city the other day, to Fort Lafayette. Be-
heving that their business was calculated to
retard enls.ments, inasmuch as they entered
the lists against the Government, aud bid higher
for substitutes than the bounties offered, We
frankly called upon the Government to suppress
the business. But We do not suppose that
these persons realized that they were engaged
in an unlawful enterprise. Certainly there was
no statute nor military order expressly forbid
ding them TO do what they have done, and We
are satisfied that an order, or even an intima-
ton, from the powers that be would have SUI
feed to put an end to the matter. Some OF
these men we know are citizens iI honorable
standing, and have the public Endorsement Of
men of the highest character in the city. AT
least one of them has personally contributed
~, 900 from his private purse to encourage re-
cruitinp and has given q son to the service Of
his country. In view Of these considerations
we deem the course of the Secretary OF War,
although unqucstionably sctuated by pure and
patriotic motives, as unwisc, aud uncailed tor

THE MOVEMENTS OF GAKIBALDI.

The telegraphic summary OF the North Anne
rican's news gives us but . meager account OF
the Last movements Of Garibaldi, but his re-
ported arrival at Catania shows that his march
from the center Of the island of Sicily to the east
ern coast has been either uninterrupted or yicto-
r;ous. Catana is one of the most fourishing and
popuous towns of Sicily counting population OF
"a, 900 souls. Garibaldi met there with cor
dial reception, which corroborates the former
REPORTS that he can rely for his further move
ments on the support of the SIcilians. The
Government declares that the situation in Slci-
" is grave and that the movement OF Garioaldl
is a rebellion, but it ID confident hat 1t will
yet be able to suppress the movement. If We
NAV believe the telegraph, the embarkation OF
his troops at Catania will be prevented. and,
on ,Ae other hand, the approaches Of the
Messina are strongly guarded, to oppose his
entrance into the second largest town Of the
island. 1t seems therefore that q crisis in his
affairs is near at hand. This expedition must
either beabandoned or an open conflict with
the troopsof the Government seems to be newt
able.
Victor Emanuel and his Ministry find them
selves evidently in the utmost embarrassment.
They call Garlbaldi a rebel, and yet-drcadiug
his popularity aud undoubtedly DESTROYS of
achieving some kind of Notwithstanding
talk of his rebellion with the utmost reserve.
So obvious is the reserved attitude which
they maintain with regard to the General, that
they have given ofense to the French Emperor,
who bames them for Garbaldis movements.
They will probably find it from week to week
more impossible to satisfy both
