Washington city correspondent Of tha Chi
csgo Times writes:
|" England having just taugh, us one les
son in international law, is now about to
teach us another. Such is the tone and
language which we now hear in all the foreign
legations in this city, II is now openly de-
clared on good authority, that the British
Government regards the unique mode Of de-
stroying harbor in which every commercial
nation on the globe is interested, not only a
palpable violation of international law, but
also as confession on our part that we have
not the ships necessary to maintain such a
blockade on the Southern coast as is alone
recognized by the laws of nations as valid
and effective blockade. 1t is said that the
British Minister here either has now. or will
have very soon, instructions from his Govern
ment to announce to ours that the former
can no longer regard the Southern ports as
blockaded in the manner required by inter-
national law, namely. by the actual presence
Of ships Of war; and that they intend to raise
the blockade forthwith. 1t is said. also, that
this announcement is to be made jointly by
the representatives in Washington of the
three great powers Of England. France and
Spain. all Of whom have joint in.eres. in
the matter"

THE sEcoSD STONE FLEtT.-0n Saturday
last the weather having moderated, some Of
the steamers Of the Lincoln fleet towed TO a
position on or near the Rattle Snake ShOal
several of their old hulks, which were soon
afterwards sunk They continued this work
up to yesterday evening. when they had
placed five Of their wrecks on the bottom
and four others ready, which we're no doubt
filed with water on Sunday night. The
purpose Of the enemy appears to be TO throw
obstacles in the way Of vessels coming in or
going out Of this port, which may have to
pass in the neighborhood Of the Rattle
Snake. There we're three steamers and a
bark blockading this port yesterday.

Az lNPnRTAsr ESTERPRIzg OF THE RAILs
ROAD GoMPASrEs.-We are gratified to learn
that we'll concerted movement is on foot
for general meeting of railroad officers in
Richmond on the 5ih OF February next. TO
devise measures for the manufacture ot rail-
road iron and such other articles of indis-
pensable necessity as have hitherto been
procured from countries outside Of the limits
of the Confederate States. To keep up a
perfect railroad communication throughout
the South, requires an occasional renewal Of
material; and if the approaching meeting
can suggest plan by which the South can
place herself on an independent basis in this
respect, il will have done as much towards
solving the great problem Of national iree-
dom. as any class Of individuals have done
since the breaking up OF the old Union. We
therefore hope that large number Of prac-
teal minds will be brought together in Rich
mond on the day designated. aud that com
bined and well considered project will then
be sent forth to the people.

GEN. r. X. zoLLIcoFFER.

The intelligence of the death of this gen.
tleman has caused among the Tennessee OF
icers in our city the greatest grief. He was
a native Of Maury county. Tennessee, and
by birth Unidentified with those who had strug-
gled with Jackson. In politics, he always
co. operated with the Wing party. and adyo-
Gated its cause with ability and fidelity, and
for several years was the editor OF its leading
organ in Nashville. He was a member OF
the State Senate Of Tennessee, member OF
Congress for three terms, and, voluntarily
retiring, was the President of the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad, at the commence.
ment Of the war. The confidence Of those
who knew him best assigned him the posi-
ton Of Brigadier- General Of the Tennessee
forces. He accepted it, and nobly has he
discharged its duties. Brave to fault, he
periled his own life as CALAMITY as he peril
led the lives Of Others. His death on the field
attests that fact. Peace TO his ashes. The
blood Of the brave is the llbation freedom
demands. He will stand in history as War
rem stands. Calm, temperate and moral, he
met, in defence Of his native State, all dan
gers, with firm step aud even pulse and,
could his dying thoughts be KNOWN they
would doubtless be, that he held his own
life as nothing. compared with the lndepen'
dence of the South. Brave and gallant splr-
L its like his always have friends, and, IN Nssh-
willie, the news of his death will sound a the
death OF a brother. Unseliish tnperhaps I'm.
providence, he had lived for family and
I friends, and he died for his country.

this sentiment. and majority Of the Queens
