Ihave before copies Of the BdAawa Herald Of July
9th. paper published in Nassau; also copy Of tho
Nassau Advertiser OF July S. Il k amusing the
number Of advertisements in them Of cargoes arriving
from New York. composed principally Of goods that
badly wanted in Dixie have aso . Charleston Courier,
which will be found advertisements Of auction sales OF
entire esrgoes q goods which have the blockade,
and which correspond exactly with the goods received In
Nassau from New York Matches. kerosene oil, soap,
candles boots Shoes &C.. appear 10 be the articles
most in demand and beyond all doubt the majority OF
these articles not ALL shipped from New York 70
Havana and Nassau and Of Northern manufacture.
also notice advertisements Of tho steamships Neita
and bahama for England the clearance Of tho steam
ship Hero for st. John, N. B., vih part Of Inward cargo

on The clearance Of Hero for st. John, with part
Of her insoard cargo, is humbug; she II not picked up by

they had bctts order at once that no OF do
sorpton shall be cleared for Nassau matter whom they
are consigned to- for although H. Adderly Co. the

and would each other any way, in order 10 give
aid and comfort to our enemies.
The United States steamer Octorara, Commander D. D.
Porter sailed this morning daylight From

judge convinced they fully Of the opinion that
neither the Mississippi river New Orleans will long

officers Of the Octorara
To suppose that defeat Of the rebels At Richmond is
going end this Is simply absurd Already exten
sivo preparations made by the rebels to fall back
the line Of tho Mississippi river and forty themselves
in such that fleets armies attack them
with any hope OF success. without great expenditure q
men and money.
