The1cading editorial ofthe Augusta Consttu-

longed howl against the remorseless seizure
and impressment Of property By the rebel
Government now taking place al over the
South. It pronounces such impressment
"an Arbitrary hish-handed measure, for
which there can be no palliation;n and says
that III persisted in, It will drive the people
from the production Of all articles Of prime
necessity, except what may be sufficient for
the necessities Of their fnmilfes, thus sappiug
the very foundations Of the Confederate Gov
eminent, and even Of society IN the Confeder-
ate 6tates.'
The Columbus {Ga.} Sun Of the 10th March,
has the following upon the same subject:
Considerable excitement prevailed on the
streets yesterday, in consequence Of the seiz-
nrc Of bacon in the hands Of private parties,
By person claiming to be an agent Of the
Confederate Government. The person who
made the seizure lisa young man, represents
his name as speuy, and claims to be acting
under authority from the Secretary Of War.
Hehad made several seizures, when bis author
ity vas questioned, and himself arrested By the
civil authorities and placed IN the custody Of
the sheriff, to await his trial on Saturday

Cotton-The Blockade.

A correspondent Of the New York Herald, writing
from Nassau says:
Charles OF or Savannah, in their palmiest days,
were never SO oveuu With cotton the city of Mas
sau at the preseut moment. Every available place
large enough to held hSf dozen bales, il cTammed
ul! and running IL is piled up six or eight bales
deep on all the Wharges vacant lots and
Of TIE lawns. IL is literally laying around looso.'

ago that il was impossible for vel 20 leave hairless

Z Ia aud Annie, BIushee, tonica BHureSard and one
or two others, have al arrived during that time from
Wilmington and Charleston with full cargoes OF cotton,
al d some have left again Tor Dixie.
There can be no longer any reasonable doubt that
Seward and Lord Lyons have en'ercd into arrange
ment by which cotton is permitted TO pass the blockade
at Charleston and Wilmington, in return for which the
British Government binds itself not to recognize the
Confederate States to raise any ques ion as to the
validity of the blockade A correspondence occurred
last Fall bet. Lyons and Seward in which the former
put the question to the latter whether cotton could not
be allowed to pass the blockade Seward pretended to
think the proposition iradmssble bu; it as TO doubt
arranged between them privately. In no other way
ca We account for the fact that vessels engaged in the
cotton trade are allowed TO pass out and in with
turn cargoes Of Yankee glcd for the most par with
ont molestation whereas if vessel ireighted with

attempts to comen, Is almost certainly captured
Nor in any other way explain the fact that, while
the shipping business at Wilmington and Charleston is
three tour times greater than was before the
blockade was declared the English Government persists
in maintaining that the blockade is perfectly legal and
valid. That there is secret understanding between
Seward and the British Cabinet this subject aud that
the blockadng squsdrons of Charleston and Whining

gagged in the expectation of cotton is too clear to ad
