ARMS FOR THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERATE
THE BLOCKADE RUN.

[From the Rich nond Enquirer, March 81
In consequence Of tho interruption Of the mails from
Now Orleans we have not laid before readers sOmo
late proofs of the entire nocency Of tho Lncoln block
ade. Within one week two steamers laden with muni-
rate ports in that vicinity and four moro have passed
out.
The steamers which ran in were tho Victoria and the
Miramon both from Havana-both intellectually pur-
sued by the blckaders-each Of which brought rs 900
pounds OF powder and number Of rifles.
Tho trip OF the Victoria was very eventful ono as she
her. damaging her machinery so badly that her Ana
cape seemed almost provdontal Escaping this danger
She managed to elude them, though finally
7h Of February and on the night Of tho 18th approached
her destination which was Fort Livingston, below New
Orleans. Tho water being very shoal. and the boat
heavily laden sho struck tie bar about two three
miles distant from tho fort Here she remained until
next morning at eight o'clock, when Yankee armed
vessel bore down rapidly upon her until about ono me
shell at the Victoria which diversion she ndulged in
from eight O'Clock A. NJ until hafpast five p. NJ firing
in all 23 SHOTS from red guns at that short range only
One shs penetrated bag OF coffee above the powder
slowed in tho hold to within two inches of tho kegs but
did not burst Had 1t done that powder would never
havo served to entertain the Yankee invaders as 1t
will. The passengers and crew took TO the boats and
escaped to the fort two miles distant, where they
kindly received by the officers of the fort.
At 5X Pm. the enemy's boat suddenly retired but
returned at daylight with two others Of lighter draught
but during the night by the use Of lighters the Victoria
takon in with her cargo under tho guns of the fort
The vessel was saved by al attack from launches by
the action OF the officers OF the FORT who sent seventy
FIVE men with forty FOUNDER tho beach opposite
to prevent it. Tbs gun used was Revolutionary brass
piece, with the thirteen stars upon it.
The Migamon also chased but not fred upon, escap
ing in the fog from hor pmrsuer.
We derive this information from Edwin De Leon ESQ.,
former editor Of the Southern Press, who camo rs bearer
ofdespatches from Europe where he has been actively
operating with the Commissioners since the commence.
ment of tho war.
Mr.. 10 Leon was also accompanied by his wifo, who
has thus proved that tender women can brave the
hazards Of tho Yankee blockade.

destruction or cotton, tobacco, and othor property in
military emergencies We have obtained the following
copy or the bill as finally passed.
BILL TO PROVIDE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF COTTON TOBACCO,
AND OTHER PROPERTY, WHEN THE SAME SHALL De ABOUT
TO FALL INTO rHE HANDS ENEMY:
enacted by the Congress- Of tho Confederate States
OF America, That it shall be tho duty of all military
n the service OF the Confederate States to
destroy all cotton tobacco, other property that may
DO useful To the enemy il the cannot be safely re
moved, whenever, In their judgment, the said cotton
tobacco and other property about to fall into the hands
of the enemy.
The following clause struck out Of tho original bill
on a motion to amond:-
Tho thereof shall receive just compensation
therefor from tho Confederate government under such
laws and regulations may hereafter be established by
Congress-.
1t Will be that the question of tho compensation
Of owners Of the property destroyed cut Off, but Is
understood that it is not positively determined by this
special act and may Of course bo tho subject Of future
legislation.
The amount Of cotton liable to destruction, Is said
cannot amount to much more than five per cent Of the enre
