Va hear nothing in reprobation Of Mr.
Beecher, from the copperhead press. He
has been doing the cause Of the Union
good service in England; and it is proper,
according to the copperhead view Of pro-
priety, that be be attacked We call the
attention Of the Chicago organ Of JEFF.
Davis to its rcmissness. Has it read Mr.
Beecher's Liverpool speech; and if go,
when will its abuse begin? We ask to
have an answer.
The French Blockade Of Mexican
We mentioned the fact come days ago that
the Frerch military authorities In Mexico
had proclaimed blockade Of all the ports OF
that 1epnbllc-by them called m empire
with the exception OF Vera Cruz, Tamplco
md one or two others, where they have Oh.
tanned footing. We are q little curious to
zee how efficient that blockade will he made.
We heard good deal, both from france and
England, In regard to the iuefhciency Of ON
blockade Of the Southern ports, and have
been constantly taunted with the tact thai
blockade runners occasionally succeed II
eyading our cruisers; and, while 1t cannot b.
denied that the efforts Of our blockading fee
came nearer to the point OF sealing up tn
| blocko1ea ports than had ever been reached
| before, still menaces hare been frequentl..
made That the French and English Govern
| 1nents would raise the blockade On accoun
Of the supposed inef1eiency.
! The French Government hiss now an cppoz
| tunity to chow how much better 1t can d
these things than the American Republic, an
toubtless 1t will put its best foot foremost /
the rnatter. It's task, however, is an easy on
