THEIR OBJEor:-An officer yhoeca
down in the same train with the prisoners
to Richmond on Saturday, and who con-
versed freely with them and with those ia.
Ken at Cedar Ran, says they very generally
expressed this one opinion with regard to
the war: They did not expect to subju.
gate the, South, but they were determined
to ruin the country, and to compel the in.
habitants, by the strong argument Of abso.
lutte starvation, to return to the, Union
This they meant to-. do BY continual incur
sions, by the destruction Of houses, by the
rain Of crops, bySes deportation Of ne.
groes, blythe plundsaef cattle, horses, hogs,
and every living thing on the plantations
o This then isSthe object Of our enemies.
If true, and it appears to be corroborated
by official publications from their generals,
We have NO hesitation in recommending
war toathe knife. :, 80

Running the Blockade.

That the importation of guns, ammuDi.
tion and army stores into Southern ports is
beneficial to US, cannot be denied. We
owe much of the efficiency of our military
forces to supplies of the above indispensa-
bic articles which have been received from
abroad by numerous arrivals Of steamers in
our harbors which have run the blockade
as the phrase is. By this means we have,
to considerable extent, been enabled to
operate in the field with the brilliancy of
success that has marked all the pitched bat.
ties we have been engaged in.
But this business of running the block
ade, which during the first year of the war
was so conducted as to be of the greatest
profit to the Confederate cause, and of the
least gain to the Yankees, has assumed of
late somewhat opposite character, and, as
it is now pursued, promises to be more ad-
vantageous to our enemy than to ourselves,
unless it can be kept in its proper LIMITS.
We have been frequently struck in the last
few months with the fact, that large ma
jority of captures by the blockading vessels
have been of outuard bound steamers, with
cargoes of cottons whilst it has been very
rarely that an inaoard bound one was
seized.
Nassau is now one of the busiest com.
mercial towns on the South Atlantic waters,
and has been made so by the circumstance
of its extremely advantageous position, as
a neutral port, being equally convenient to
New York, Savannah, Charleston and Liv-
erpool. 1t has become, therefore, the cen,
tire of vast coptraband trade not only be-
tween Europe and the South, but between
the latter and the North The Yankees
want cotton just as much as we want arms,
&C., with which vessels that run
into Southern harbors are nearly all loaded
The blockaders know this, and they know
also that cargo of COTTON in New York
or Boston is worth at least FIVE times more
than cargo of foreign goods. Hence it is,
We believe, that anward bound vessels are
suffered to run the blockade in numerous
instances in order that they may load with
cotton and then be captured when they
come out. This seems to US to be an almost
irresistible inference from the fact we have
stated, that most of the captures lately have
been of steamers attempting to return to
Europe freighted with cotton. Moreover,
there is strong reason to believe that many

FROM HAVANA AND MEXICO.-The
steamer Columbia, from Havana, arrived
in New York on the morning of the 2lst
ult. Her news, both from Mexico and
Havana, is very interesting. At the for
mer place reinforcements had arrived for
the French army, and it is said that troops
from France to the number of twenty-five
thousand were en- route for Martinique and
Guadalupe. A number of fugitives from
the dangers of the draft had escaped from
New York to Havana; but they find very
little sympathy, and are in great peril from
the depredations of the yellow fever The
blockade of the Mexican coast by the French
was being strictly enforced, and two Amer
ican vessels have been captured. General

Counterfeit Confederate Notes.

Considerable agitation has been produced
in this and other cities by the discovery in
circulation of q large amount of Confede
rate notes supposed to be counterfeit
Many good judges doubt whether they are
not genuine, and the Treasury Department
at Richmond has been appealed to to decide
the question-though we doubt if the off.
cials in that department would be compe,
tent. judges in the case-some of the sup
posed counterfeits having, We learn, been
paid out by them. Until their decision is
had, it would be better to refrain from re.
ceiving or passing the suspected notes, and
to put our readers on their guard, we ap
pend the marks of those considered doubt
