CHARAoTERIsTIe TRIcKs.-A cores
pendent of the London Index writes
from Baltimore
One or two anecdotes illustrative of
the inevitable mendacity which charac-
terizes them, from the Commander in
Chief, General Halleck, down TO the
humblest soldier, must suffice, as | have
already written two much.
The Rev Mr.. -, gentleman well
and favorably known in Maryland, told
me that he assisted on one occasion in
burying fifty Federal soldiers in one large
hole, and when their bodies were covered
up their comrades placed a board upon
them, on which they wrote, Fire Federal
soldiers lie here Mr. - asked them
what they did that for. when they re-
piled that it was none of his business.
At another place, was told board
was to be seen on which was written.
General anderson and eighty Rebels are
hurled here. General Anderson certainly
does not lie there, for he is alive and
among his friends, but slightly wounded,
and / very much question whether the
eighty rebels could be found.

So FAR as we in England can gain any
knowledge of what is passing in the
jealousy guarded councils of the Confed-
crate States, there is no reason to believe
that the South has faltered in its purpose
of obtaining absolute independence. The
latest advces from Richmond represent
all classes to be as fierce in spirit and as
confident as ever. Unceasing prepare
tons for the new campaign were going
on all through the Confederacy. provis-
ions are being collected, powder made
in large quantities, the small arms facto-
ries were at work. Cotton was being
turned to more use than were ever before
known, and to supply warmer sub.
stance. carpets and rugs of every kind
were being converted into blankets for
the army In Virginia and the West
the Contederates. up TO the departure of
the last mails. were showing an undaunt-
ed front to the enemy. The banks of the
Rappahannock were bristling with can
non, and General Jackson was still sup
posed to be threatening the Federal com
munications. On the other hand, the
Northern Generals were giving DO signs
of relaxing efforts. In the West the
Federal army was advancing: at New
Orleans General Butler was plundering
the people on the largest scale. So much
SO as. apparently, to have shocked the
moi very weak nerves of a Federal Com
missioner. The Government at Wash

FRuITs OF Our NAVAL VIcToRIEs.-At the
raising of the blockade by the Confederate
forces at Charleston and Galveston is an event
of much interest to the Confederacy. it may not
be amiss. says the Appeal, to cali public at
tention to the legal effect of these naval vic
tories The law on this point is thus laid
down by ChancellorsKent. in his common
taries on the laws of nations, TO which a
friend refers us:
"When blockade is raised voluntarily
or By a suDerior force, ii puts an end to 1t ALSO
lufeIy and if il be resumed, neutrals must be
charged with notice de moro and with reference
to the former state of things, before they can
be involved in the guilt of violation of the
blockade =
As this is but repetition of what all wri-
tiers say on the subject. it follows that
trail vessels may lawfully enter the ports Of
Charleston and Galveston at once, and may
continue to do so until the Yankee Govern
ment gives sixty days notice of the re-estab
lishment of the blockade, and exhibits suffi-
cient naval force TO make it effectual. When
the law is understood the Importance of our
late glorious naval victories can only be
fully appreciated.
Diligence puts almost everything into
our power. anu will. in time. make even
children capable of the best and greatest
things.
