Run the BloGknde-Arms for the fCuthern Con-
f.dtrasy.
10 consequence Of the interruption OF the mails from
New Oceans, have laid before cur readers some
late proofs OF the entire neciency of the Lincoln block
ade. Within one week, two steamers laden with mum.
tons OF war, coffee, merchandise, &C.. entered Coned
crate ports in that vicinity and four have passed
out.
The steamers which ran in were the Victoria" and
the " Mramon," both from Havana-both Intellectually
pursued by the bockaders-each of which brought 25-
900 pounds OF powder and number Of rifles.
The trip of the Victoria was a very eventual one as
she encountered NOrther which almost founder
cd her, damaging her machinery badly that her final
escape seemed almost proyidentia Escaping this dan
ger she in the track Of some Federal cruisers but
burning hard COAL making smoke, she managed to
elude them though finally discovered, after events
proved. She sailed the 7th of February and on the
night of the 18th approached her destination, which
was Fort Livingston, below New Orleans. The water
being very shoa and the boat heavily laden she stuck
on the bar, about two three miles distant from the
fort Here she remained until next morning at eight
o'clock when Yankee armed vessel bore down rapid
II upon her, until about one mile distant where she
stuck and commenced firing shot and she'll at the Vic
tora, which diversion she INDUCED in from O'Clock A

guns at that short range, only three of which struck

did not burst. Had it done so, that powder would
have served to entertain the Yankee invaders

and escaped 20 the fort, two miles distant where they
were kindly received by the officers OF the fort.
At 81 T. NJ, the eneny's boat suddenly retired
but returned at daylight with two others of lighter
draugh but during the night, by theuse of lighters
the Victoria was taken in with her cargo under the guns
OF the Fort.
The vessel was saved by an attack from launches by
the action of the officers of the Fort who sent IS men
with 24pounder to the beach opposite to prevent it.
The gun used was Revolutionary brass piece with the
Ii stars upon it.
TIE Miramon was also chased, but not fred upon
escaping in the fog from her pursuer

Esq., former editor of the Southern Press" who came
as bearer odspatches from Europe where he has been
actively cooperating with the commissioners since the
commencement of The war

has thus proved that een tender can brave the

The MEETING held last evening at the Town Hall was
of the largest and most influential which has been
held here for long time, and have doubt that its
recommendations will be carried out aud have their due
weight and power.
1t is not one pert Of the community seeking to
dictate to or restrict the other, but it is the whole
community seeking to protect itself in the unusual and
critical circumstances in which it is placed. Webe
ieve that action is desired alike by temperance men and
by men who are not temperance men, by CITIZENS who
are in the army and citizens who are not in the army
All are willing to submit to and to cooperate with any
proper which may be deemed necessary pre-
vent great public evil and secure great public good.
This gives promise of the best results as all merely
pressve measures without the cordial assent and moral
sanction of those to be effected by them only be
partially successful Nth this sanction and co-opera
tion the fullest and the most beneficial results
cannot be doubtful.

WHAT THEY THINK OF PRICE.-The New York
Times is very anxious Prce-the gallant and in
vincible warrior of the West"bagged" by the Black
Republican, hordes under Curtis II says that he is
probably the sharpes strategst in the field for "bor-
der warfare, aud always manages sOmeway another
to escape being caught the folds OF the anaconda"
Says the Times:

along the Kansas border, skuks down into Arkansas

in which he is to be caught, he adrOty eyades; the
military sacks in which he is to be dragged" he

coils
Yet, both the pirate Price and the pirate Sumter

both herOeaswhen the work is DONE shall be crowned
with such honors and glory as will reverse forever the

Particulars of The Late Battle in Missouri We have
from Fayetteville that Gen. Price had been attack
ed by the enemy with much larger force than be has
at his command and has been forced to retreat towards
the Arkansas line lighting as he falls back. A dis
patch from Fayetteville Sunday evening, says that Gen
Price has fallen back to Cassvile, and that the second
brigade of Gen McCuoch'S division were marching TO
bis assistance,
An express rider who came in last night says that
Price has been making running fight for days. and
that his baggage train is now at Cross Hol0ws, a
place fsafy He would continue to fall back as neces
sity might require, until reinforced by Gen. McCuoch.
Orders sent from here last night to all the regi-
ments of the first brigade of Gen. McCuliochs division
to march to the assistance of Gen. Price
LQter.-Dispatches this morning say that Price is
still falling back and had reached Keatsvile four miles
from the State line, and galantly contesting every
foot of the ground Price is supposed to have not
than 5000 effective men, while the FGderalS have from
1900 to 100000.

We SINCERELY TRUST that if any planter 10 any sec
ton Of country which these words may penetrate
has contemplated eontemplates the planting of
cotton to any extent lie will ref ct better upon the sub
ject and we feel almost certain that be will abandon
any such intention if formed, and be prevented from
forming it if still in doubt.
Whether the blockade should be raised this year or
not the planting of cotton to any considerable extent
would be mistaken, yea, suicidal policy, injurious
alike to the country general and to the cOtton-pant
ing interest 10 particular. To the country in general
because it would so far it went interfere with the
production of the necessary food and would also bold
out tempting bait to invite predatory raids To the
planters themselves the raising of cotton would certain
y be loss if the blockade is raised since it could
not be solo, whereas breadsufs could be- and it would
be hardly less loss1o the planting interest were
the blockade to be raised within few MONTHS from the
fact of having already the great body of crop
on hand, which would then be thrown upon MAJ ket
about the same time with the crop and thus &C
cordng to the laws of trade tie producer would be at
the mercy of the consumer the planter at the mercy
the halloween, since the supply of two crops at time
would far outrun the demand, and create a surplus
which would give the manufacturer the vantage ground
not only this year the next but for many years to
come. And this state of things would be intensified
when recoect that after this struggle over the de-
rangement incident to and arising from it will for
years greatly curtai the consuming power Of the world
