Running lhe sham blockade.

From the Charleston Mercury
The good people Of Charleston woke up yes
terday morning to be hugely delighted with the
news that the fine ocean steamer Ella Marley,
Capt. Swasey, from Nassau, n. p, had entered
our harbor with the first rays of the rising sun,
and was already safely mOoTed to cur whaTYes.
At early dawn she appeared off Charleston Gu
trance, in full view Of the ~blockading vessels.
These lmmedi ately gave chase, and commenced
a rapid fire Of shot and shell, all of which. how
ever, fell short, After passing for several miles
under the enemy's FIRE unframed, the noble
steamship finally came within the protecting
range of the guns of Fort Sumter, and swept
msjestically up to the city. How far the Yankee
naval officers INDUCED in profane explosives, as
they beheld what would have been a very plump
prize slip from their grasp, we leave to the imag-
nation Ofsour readers.
The Ella Marley brings a valuable assorted
cargos consigned principally to Messrs. John
Fraser g. Co, Hyatt, MeBurney 81 Co, and
Kerris0n g. Leiding. Her passenger list is as
follows: G. s.. Sharp, London; II. d. b. Gorris,
Havana; J. S. Murdoch, Manchester, lang H.F.
Black, Nassau John /. Young, Scotland; John
L. Edwards, Liverpool; John III. Mooney. Scot
land, and Angus Smith, Scotland.
We hear that the Ella Marley also brought
Mr.. b.. L. Bisbie, whose name, however, does not
appear on her passenger list. Mr. Bisbie was
sent out ~severGl months ago as bearer of dis
patches to Messrs. Ysneey, Rost and Mann, our
commissioners abroad. He reached Nassau in
the English steamship Gladiator. He left
Charleston yesterday by the 2 o'clock cars for
Richmond, carrying important dispatches from
Mr., Yancey to the State Department.
When the Marley left Nassau, the steamship
Gladiator and the British ship Eliza Bonsall were
both in pert. The u. S. gunboat Flambeau,
which had been cruising off Nassau for son
time, left that station on last Saturday, bound,
probably, for Key West. The want of coal was
the cause of her departure. The Lincoln gov
eminent had sent out two schoOners laden with
supplies Tor the Flambeau, but the Nassau au-.
thorities refused to allow the last named vessel
the use of the harbOr for the purpose of coaling.
One of the coal schOoners was the L. w. Perry,
commanded by Capt. Adams, well known here
as the former master Of the schoGaer George A.
Title, The Yankees reported that one of their
transports was leaky, and hoped by this dodge
to get permission TO transfer a portion OF her
coal on board the Flambeau within the harbOr,
but the trick failed. A number Of the enemy's
vessels have lately been seen near the Bahamas.
What Lord Derby, and the owners OF the
English cotton ships, and John Bull generally,
viii say when they hear of the Ella Marley
having steamed into Charleston harbor in broad
daylight, with the southern flag flying, and in
willful and eontumelious disregard alike Of stone
and paper blockades, is likely, we imagine, to
be a little stronger than anything they have yet
said.

EDITORS APPEAL: Yesterday morning about
nine o'clock the alarm whistle of the Grampus
was heard some distance above the city. Pre-
sently a dense cloud of smoke was observed in
the direction of Cairo. In a few minutes every
gun of the many Notifications were manned and
the floating battery and ~gon-boats were in resdi-
ness for an attack. From the upper line of the
Notifications on the bluff, five gun-bOats, three
transports, and four tug prOpellers (mortar
bOats) could be counted as they passed
Hunters, about five miles distant. Every sol
der was at his post in the various e~ncampments,
and all were %jubilsnt, eager, and anxious, for
another chance at the Lincoln soldiery. But sad
was their disappointment, when after taking a
distant survey, particularly at some things he
did not see, the valiant Commodore Foote turned
the bows Of his boats up stream and HE'D away
for Cairo. Whether it was the holy horror the
Linconites have for those " internal submarines, .
with which it is reported that the river is paved
with for miles, or whether the Commodore wished
to make a trial trip with his new iron clad gun
boat Tom Benton, p it is all conjecture here.
One thing Is certain. wheaever they come within
a respectable distance Of Columbus with their
feet, they viii never return with it to Cairo.
They are the invaders, aud we have the right
and privilege of defending our soil and rivers
with all the modern appliances of warfare,
whether they may consider it civilized or not.
The dread of dark nights and fOggy days have
passed away we are now ready for anything
that wears iron and burns powder, either on
land or water, Yours, DA ENcL.

A late letter from Cairo to one of the Cinein-
matt papers says:
Quite a sensation was caused yesterday morn
ing by the arrest of five Engiishmen who came
up from Gen. Polk as British subiects. They
were suspected of being spies, either in the en-
ploy OF the British government or the Southern
Confederacy. After several hours confinement,

There Is another matter of fact that ought to
be made public. Since the reception Of the
news nom England regarding the Mason and
Shdell affair, a great many Englishncn have
made their appearance a. this post. l do not
wish to lnpute 10 them any improper purposes,
but the Union men suspect them for the reason
that they have not appeared before. They arc
all wealthy men (some in ali probability belong

doubt Of the fact thas there Is a secret agency
from England watchuls Eaand our civil war
and the strength or our forces.
Al important arrest was made at CAPE Girar-
deau on Saturday last. Capt. Wm II. Childs,
formerly of Ohio who married a lady in lanes
vile, Ohio, named Miss Emma Galiahaber, some
years ago (HoW deeeased) and one of the prin-
elpsi engineers on the Mobile and Chic railroad,
had been in CAIRO for some days, and got a pass
to go to Cape Girardeau. No one here suspect

When at Cape GirardeaU he told one story to
the Provost Marshaland another different one to
the commanding officer. This was discovered
by the nephew Of Commodore Graham, who was
IN command Of the Illinois steamer. lie had
him arrested and he was sent up to st. Louis.
Childs wished to force his way through shs
lines, and go to Columbus. His uncle is chief

Rumors were again current IN this city yester-
day that the enemy had landed a large force at
White Point. The reliable gentleman, Just

driven in, that the enemy had been attacked by
the COnfederates, but with what success was not
positively known. That there was some ground
for the rumor appears from the Information re-

enemy were engaged Smelling in the neighbOr-

Gen. Evans had gone there to %recODnOiter and

heard, however, from Gen. Evans, to a late

me va IN RIT.soURE

An interview held by Us On yesterday with
Gen. Parsons, Of Missouri, so distinguished
for his gallant department in lie battle at Oak
Hills, gives us a better idea than we have before
had Of the present military s~itustiOn and neces-
sites Of his State. He left Gen PRIcE's army
at Springfield ten or fifteen days since, when he
took his departure for this city en- route for Rich
mond. Gen. PARSONS brings us a more en-
couraging account of Missouri affairs than we
had expected at this ~juncture. He deems the
whole force of the enemy IN the State not over
$4,000 OF 10000, which IS about 10000 below
what we have heretofore been led to believe they
had. OF this number .. 600, including the
force at St. Louis, are south Of the Missouri
river, and ten or fifteen thousand along the line
of the North Missouri railroad. Between Jefer-
son City and Sedalia, including both points.
there are twelve thousand, and at Rolla eight
thousand Federal troops. Besides, there is a
large force of Eve thousand Jayhawkers at Fort
Scott under the brigand MONTGOMERY.
Such are the estimates based upon information
officially received ct the headquarters of the
Missouri army.
Gen. PRICES army-the size Of which we for
bear to mention for prudential reasons-is at
Springfield, as above mentioned, but not with the
view of going into winter quarters, we are
pleased to learn, unless forced by the absolute
rigor of the season. But a small part Of his d.
vision have yet been mustered into the COnfede-
rate service, for fear of being placed under the
command Of otker officers than those Of their
own choosing. Were it not for this apprehen-
sion, so stimulated by the silly rumor Of Gen.
PRICES supersedure, we are assured that the
whole division would have voted unanimously to
be transferred to the national army. The force
at Springfield is well armed and equipped, and
well drilled, the greater number having been in
service under their gallant commander since the
war commenced in Missouri.
Uis well understood that Gen. PRICE now
needs and desires the cooperation Of the Con-
tolerate government in prosecuting a well con
ceived campaign for the disenthralment of his
State. As Mr.. TUCKER says in his address,
Published in another column " Missouri bleeds
ard writhes Ike a struggling giant, and only

CONFFDERATR SENATOR'S FROM

H. C. Burnett and Hon. w. E Simms. The
first named gentleman was three times elected
from the Paducah district to the United States
Congress, of which he would now be a member
but for his resignation He is a true man, who
will not hesitate in the discharge Of any duty
necessary to insure the prosperity of the cause
he has espoused. Mr.. Simms' public career com
menced by service as commander OF a company
during the Mexican war; next il the Legisla-
ture of Kentucky, and subsequently one term in
the Federal Congress, as representative from the

Effects of Cold upon our soldiers.

From the New York Herald, 27thl
Our Washington correspondent informs Us
that our soldiers of the Potomac army are begin
ming to suffer considerably from thecold weather,
This is not surprising, when they are still under
canvas. From this very circumstance, how
ever, we are satisfied that Gen. Mcclellan is
contemplating a forward movement, and has no
idea that the return Of spring viii find his vast
army still stretching along the windy hills of
Fairfax. He knows, from the experience ofNapo-
leon, that an army in motion, bivouacing under
the open sky in the dead of winter, suffers much
less from disease than an army ever so well es-
tablished in winter quarters.
Compare, for example, the sufferings of the
British army in winter quarters before Sebasto-
pol with the remarkable good health of Nspo-
Icons legions in that winter campaign Of Auster-
litz. Vast bodies Of men enclosed or hutted for
or three months in the same place inevitably,
to a great r or less extent, produce infections or
malignant disorders. Hence, no doubt, the
shifting of Besuregard's central column from
Manassas to Centreville, and the continual
movement Of the enemy from one point TO another
along their general line of occupation. Let US
be patient. There are good reasons for the re-
tontion of our Potomac army under canvas at
this time. Tke climate, as you go southwark,
becomes warmer, and log huts are not cOnven-
lent articles of transportation.
