AMERICAN SHIP TIMBER.-The Grand Rap
ids Mich Eagle has been informed that the
purchases Of ship timber in the United States
for the British Admiralty have been so heavy
as to nearly clear the market, and vast
quantities are actually stored, awaiting
transportation. Owing to the war, the sup
plies of live oak timber, which came from
the South, have been cut off. The Virginia
sources have also been partially closed, and
at this moment, when Congress is about to
urge the most energetic measures for doub-
ling the navy, it is almost impo sible for the
American shipbuilder to find material for a
single vessel. To stop this exhaustion of
strength for the benefit of foreign, and per-
hsps hostile power, it will be necessary for
our Government to look to its interests aud
place an embargo upon the further export
of ship timber, and rigidly enforce the pro-
lection of 80 necessary an article.

aEREL BRnArHIra HoLra--Tha nrinninal

REBEL BREATHING HoLEs.-Ths principal
outlets for contraband traffic and commune
cation along the Ohio River, now used by the
rebels in Southern Kentucky, are between
Henderson and Smithland. We learn from
persons who have the best opportunities for
ascertaining the facts that quite brisk trade
and correspondence Is kept up by the rebels
through several rebel towns on this side of
the river. There are no Federal troops to
watch these points, and smuggling goes on
with very little interruption. The Oonfed-
crates have a considerable portion OF the
country under their control between Hem
derson and the Cumberland, and while boats
are allowed to land without restriction, the
rebels will be very little annoyed by the
blockade. On the Missouri shore no boats
are suffered TO land, except those in the serv-
ice of the Government, from Cape Girardeau
to Cairo, and il would probably be we'll to
apply the same restriction to the Kentucky
towns and landings referred to. We learoed
from a Government officer that plot was
actually laid very recently in one of these
towns to seize the mail-boat but was happily
frustrated. Let this matter be attended to in
time. 1t would be well for the Indiana
officers to watch some aceomplices of the
rebels on their own side of the Ohio. These
breathing holes Of the rebels must be stopped.
At this season, especially, we should not al
low the enemies Of the Government to have
free access to clothing and provisions
