EFFECT OF TmE BLocKApE.

Whom the Executive power of the nation
declared the whole line of our Southern sea
coast from North Carolina to Texas under
blockade, it was laughed AT by the robcls
and the idea secuted ut by their Northern
sympathiHcrs. Even England with her hyp-
ocritical prctenses ofncuhality would have
been pleased to have declared the blockade
Inefficient, if she had only dared to. In
his seat in Parliament, MIR. Lindsay made a
motion to the effect that the British Govern
ment should no longer acknowledge the
blockade, because il was not effective.
Simple facts, however. carry more weight
with them concerning the efficiency of the
blockade than all the fulsomc declarations
Of the rebels and their leaders, or all the
anathemas hcaped upon our bloCkadcrs by
Secession sympathizers in this country or
elsewhere. The wants of cotton in Eng
land, and the non-employment of the oper.
stlVes in lancashire, ON account Of the
scarcity o! this Southern staple, gives the
lie 10 those who persist in declaring the
blockade imperative. In France, some three
hundred and fifty thousand operatives en-
ployed in the cotton manufacture are ont
of employment, aud are reduced to state
of suffering similar to that which prevails
in Lancashire. All ON account of the in
efficiency of tho blockade! But the mighty
Beauregard has spoken The nation of
Charlestown, and the Empire of South Car
olina are free TO the commerce of the world
for the redoubtable Pierre Toutant hath SO
promulgated

MI WHAT A CMANGEi

Mr.. Boyce, Of South Carolina, formerly
Representative in Congress from the Cen
trail District of his State, and who is now
one Of the most prominent leaders il the
present rebellious crusade against Human
Liberty, delivered an able speech in the
Legislature of his State in session at Coum-
ba, in 1851, during the pcndency Of the
Compromise measures in Congress. In this
speech he clearly showed why Secession
should not be rosorted TO for the purpose
of settling the difficulties attending the
question of slavery. In the course Of his
remarks he used the following significant
language, which in tho light of the recent
emancipation proclamation and the fast APP
preaching doom of slavery, has tcn-fold
interest to every loyalist in the land. lie
said:
al object, In as strong terms as can, TO the Sc
cession Of South Carolina. Such is the intensity
Of my convictions upou the subject that IL secession

to the world the Inauguration OF the mos

times, ut the same instant, in it's laundering

Of Slavery. Their il WIS that the manacle

their future strength and efficiency. Tha

VALLANDIGHAM's RECORD.

Mr.. Naliandigham in his recent speech
boasted that he had been the consistent op.
ponent of Abolition and Emancipation prin-
cipleS from the timo of his boyhood- and
for fifteen years he had sacrificed all his
prospects by his steadfast devotion and
principle.
The Dayton JoD0WdI, which has rOceutly
had occasion TO hunt up his record, for an
other purpose, has produced evidence which
entirely disproves the statement.
In the Dayton Empire, of the Goth of Jan
uary. ls4s, Mr., '. being its editor, in an
article written 10y him, in reference TO tho
resolutions passed by the State Democratic
Convention held on the sth of that month,
he SAYS:
The resolutions on the subject of slavery are
from the pen Of Col. q. W, Manypeuny, of ZansS-
Vile, long kuowp AS Democrat OF marked ability
and recognize TO the full extent the ancient Con
stitutional landmarks Of the Democratic party Of
the Union. WsAaa It a. a Aappy eIsa' that tAcy re
ccired % Wnda'ao's a vote, The Democracy Of Ohio
hs assured, will stand fast in the faith OF their
fathers"
The following is one of the resolutions,
which by the way, was Reimbursed by the
Democracy of Ohio, in all its subsequent
State Conventions until 1855:
Re'oleei, That the people OF Ohio now, as they
have always doAe, look upon the institution Of
the Union, ert and unfavorablo 20 the full de.
yelopnent of the spirit and practical benefits OF
iree institutions, and that entertaining these ssnti-
Inents they will Al all times feel their dSty 90 use
all power, clearly given by the terms Of the nadonai
compact to prsr Is Hersass, 10 mitgate and finally
TO eradicate Nc crd.
Strong Abolition doctrine and no mistake
Yet Nallandigham has the eitrontery to de.
clare that he has always been an opponent
to Abolition principles,

A GREAT nuGAnooi

Last week, some little excitement was
manifested from series Of rebel dispatches,
emanatiug from the New York Herald, pur-
porting to have been taken from the Rich
mond papers, to the effect that the Federal
heet-the entire blockading squadron-had
been routed, destroyed, burned, shclled,
sunk, dispersed, annihlatod, and played
smash with generally by the superior navy
Of the Confederate States. The story is
equal to-nay surpasscs-any thing ever
attempted by that great champion of chiv-
AIRY and body servant of Don Quixote--the
intrepid Sancho Panza. The entire series
Of dispatches announcing this great rebel
victory, would DO capital Joke, if there
was not 80 much of the braggadocio about
them which, unfortunately for the success
of the joke, renders them simply ridiculous.
Beauregard, the Great Mogul Of Southern
chivalry, who inaugurated his famous career
by attacking with 10000 men and nineteen
batteries, some 70 or 80 loyal troops, aud
compelled their capitulation after contest
of some thirty hours.-this same Bcaure.
gard issues his proclamation, declaring the
blockade by tho United States of tho said
city of Charleston S. g., to be raised by a
superior force of the Confederate States.
The foreign consuls wsro invited to sail
down the harbor and soc for themselves
that the blockade WAS legally raised.
! They looked through their GLASSES" and
could SEQ nothing, but before they com
plctod their observations, a large number o
blockadcrs appeared in sight, according t.
the dispatches, but kept steam up, levi
IDENTITY ready to rum" Of course they were
ready to run-and if the vessel containing
the foreign consuls, had ventured from
shore, they might have had a fair exhibi
ton OF their running qualities.
The dispatches are too llimsy to have th,
effect intended. The Federal steamer Qua
kcr City WAS set on fire, was very mucl
disabled, had hauled down her flag and sur
rendered, "but aftorward managed 10 c,
cape" The Federal loss was very severe
among the rebels not a man ,CaS hut--nO
boat ,ods struck although the engagement
lasted from one o'clock in the morning un
til nine "Massa, when you tells anuddei
story, ploese don't put sm 30 fur apart

Verify great place il that same Charles

aud Sancho Pauza stripped of his proudes
laures.
The truth of tho matter il simply this
There were two circles of blockading ship
off Charleston harbor The onter one, il
deep water was seven miles from Sumter
The inner one was upon the bar. The sail
ors in the Navy department are certain tina
the rebel iron-clads went down only TO tn,
i latter. They were not calculated for tn,
deep and rough water beyond, and 1t is dc
clared that they did not go near to or mon
ace the second and outer line of the larg,
blOckaders.

THE NEWS.

Through rebel sources, we have information that
another battle has taken place near Murfrecsboro.
No particulars given.
Richmond papers Of the 9Th contain the follow
ING dispatch from Charleston
The British frigate Cadmus brings the intelli
Vence that most formidable naval and land cxpe
dition is about to attack Charleston, the prcparn
tions being now nearly completed The Cadmus
brings orders for Robert Bunch, British Consul, TO
60 on board the Cadmus and get to Havana ps soon
as possible.
From tho special correspondence of the Ciucn-
natl Gasctc We learn that there is speck Of war in
the Southern dominions, in quite an unexpected
place. A number of people in Northern Georgia
and Southwest North Carolina, have openly re-
volted against the rebel olgarchy, and have only
been partially suppressed, after considerable fight
ing and bloodshed Colonel G.. w. Lee, Of tho
rebel army, commanding in the disanccted dis
tricts, issued an order which filed the Atlanta
Contcd,rocy Of january 3lst, dccryng the nsur-
rectionary movement, warning the malcontcnts oI
its hopeessness, and offering them free pardon i
they would lay down their arms From the terms
Of the Proclamation, il seems that the insurrec
tonists look upon the rebel cause as lost, and cx
pect speedy assistance from the triumph of til,
Union army.
The dsaffected inhabitants refused TO obey The
Coloncl's proclamation and he proceeded agains
them with an armed force. The result was that q
fight occurred between the rebel forces and th'
malcontents in Georgia, with considerable loss OF
both sides.
The Washington Star, publishes manifest o

while attemptingto run the blockade, mt the time

bales Of cotton, bound for New Orleans, md
finding she was too heavily laden the officers
put into Natchez. Part Of the cargo was be-
ing taken of, when fire wasaccidentally COM
municated to the cotton: md the entire lot,
along with the steamboat, was quickly con-
sumed., No lives were lost. No further par
tieulars.
