Well, gentlemen, there came another complaint,
and the complaint came this time from those so,
called Confederate States, who said that we had,
contrary to the declaration of Paris contrary to the
general international law permitted blockade of
three thousand miles of the Southern coas, ,, amer
lea. 1t is quite true We did so. 1t is quite true
and perhaps there seemed at least plausible reason
for complaint-that though this blockade was kept
up by sufficient number of ships yet these ships
many of them adopted into the United States navy
and sent to in hurry and ill fitted for the pur
pose-did not keep up that blockade so effectively
and 50 thoroughly as it must have been held an ef
fectve blockade requiredt But STILL looking to the
law of nations, it was blockade; it was blockade
which We as great belligerent power, in former
times should have acknowledged. We ourselves
had had blockade of upwards of two thousand
miles, and it did.seem to me thatw were bound in
justice to the Federal States of America 70 acknowl
edge the blockade. But there was another reason,
l confess, that weighed with me-our people were
suffering, and suffering very greatly, for the want
Of the material which was the great support of their
industry. 1t was question of selfnterest whether

GENERAL STONEMAN'S EXPEDITION,
His Division Ten Days without
Tents or Baggage Train.
HE CLEANS OUT THE BLACK HORSE
CAVALRY.

We learn from an officer who arrived from
Warrcnton junction last night, some interest
ing particulars respecting General Stoneman's
expedition.
The original plan having been frustrated by
the transforms that set in the day after General
Stoneman advanced, he has turned his attrn-
ton to other points. He has secured the coun-
try pretty well between Falmouth and Sulphur
Springs, and now rests at Warrenton.
The rebels attempted to shell his camp, near
Rappahannock station, u day or two since, but
accomplished nothing.
Randolph's Black Horse Cavalry, which have
been lowering about Warrcuton, have been
dispersed, and their acting commander, Lieut.
Paine, was made prisoner. The company or
squadron is commanded by Capt. Randolph,
but he is now suffering from injuries 10y a fall
from his horse some DAYS ago.
Lieutenant Paine, who was in temporary
command, was captured on previous occasion
by the same regiment, Eighth Pennsylvania,
about four miles from the same place, where
they repeated the exploit Paine belongs in
Warrenton.
General stoneman's command has captured
sixty odd prisoners. They have been out ter
days without tents or wagons, their stores and
baggage being carried upon pack mules.
The fords are still very high, and only {
squadron or two have crossed the Rappahan
mock at any point. The General is exceedingly
chagrincd at being prevented from making eff
fcctivc movements by the April rains, ant
chafcs at the thought that the people Of tn,
North may wondcrthat he does not make them
while they cannot fully appreciate the causes
Of delay.

A WOUNDED TRAITOR AND RENE



Sergeant Ames, formerly of company l., N.
Y. Flfth cavalry, was the scoundrcl who dc.
serted to Moseby's gang Of guerllas, and sub
sequently acted as their guide in their two raids
into Fairfax. The sergeant, who ia called
Big Yankee" was once deemed one Of tho
best soldiers In his regiment. He once whipped
three Of Ashby's cavalry, taking one of them
prisoner.
While ON scouting expedition they fred
upon him from the edge of a wood, and after
he had drawn their fire he retreatcd. When
they pursued him in the open field, he wheeled
aud opened FIRE upon them, compelling two to
flee and one to surrender.
Captain Dye, commissary of the Third brl.
gado, Stahl's division, was so impressed with the
efficiency Of Amcs, that he made him com
missary and quartermaster's sergeant. Sourod
by the promotion of others in his regiment.
and poisoned by the promises Of Moseby, he
deserted to him, and became one of his best
soldiers.
Moscby says if all the Federal cavalry were
like " Big Yankee" they would conquer any
thing. Mosrhy's gang have all the plunder
they capture, aud Amcs has sent word to his
regiment, by some returned prisoners, that he
has "made" FIVE good horses since he Joined
Moseby.
Information reached here yesterday by a
lady, refugee, that this renegade now lies
dangerously wounded in house in Middle
burg. If Col. Deforest, of the New York Fifth
cavalry, should capture the scoundrel, he will
have prompt trial and a sudden execution.
