TIE COMPARTMENT OF vICKSBURG.
The bombar,lment of VickSburgh was
commenced on Wednesday, last, the 18th
inst, by the mortar boats and the firing was
responded to from the rebel batteries. The
work is a serious one, and the public need
not expect very hasty conclusion of the
business, though we see that rumors are
already started Of the taking of the place
If it is taken in a weeks bombardment, We
may consider ourselves lucky. The rebels
are determined to hold it, if they can. They
have expended all their strength upon it,
and fortified it in the most formidable man
ner. They have also numerous army to
aid in its defence. Grant has large force.
bat he possibly will not bring that force in
20 action until he has destryed the batteries

more equal. Those who remember the
difficulties experienced last year in the at

DEPRECIATION OF SLAVE Property IN
MARrLAND--Ba baltimore, Feb. 23.-The sp-
praisers of the property Of the late Charles
Carroll, Of this State. one Of the largest
slave-owners of Maryland, have made tier
return to the Orphans court, assessing the
value. of the hundred and thirty slaves at an
average of only five dollars
This they say was the highest rate they
could name. after consultation with various
slave owners and dealers.
A slave dealer told the appraiser that he
would not give FIVE hundred dollars for the
whole lot
This is considered striking illustration
of the depreciation of slave property by tn,

A letter from the blockading squadron
OffCharleston, Just received in Boston, says
thas, from observation with powerful glasses
and the statements of deserters, it is evident
that Charleston is strongly fortified. There
is no doubt that Fort Moultrie, as well as
Fort Sumter, is iron-clad, and that the
rebels have a considerable number of very
powerful guns in position. The officers o.
the Navy express the opinion, however
that the city can be taken. Where there,
will there's : way.

SEIZURE OF BLOCKADE RUNNERS AT WuMrNG-
roN.-Witbin The last week or SO we have cap
turcd no less than five rebel blockade runners
OF Wilmington, North Carolina. This is doing
good service, and shows that Mr. Secretary
Welles has taken our advice by employing
light draught vessels for this purpOse-little
craft which run into the shallow waters Of the
barber, as a dog runs into rabbit burrow, and
drive the lurking blockade runners out to sea,
there to be "gobbled up' by the heavier war
vessels. Wilmington is the only rebel port now
open for eontraband vessels. This fact JEFF.
Davis has recently admitted. Every other port
is shut, and it only remains now for the govern
ment to close up that harbor, by a vigorous
blockade aud the use Of light draught guaboats.
in order to bring North Carolina into the Union
instanter. The only remaining inducement to
the people OF the old North Stale to refuse allie
glance to the United States government, and
stand by JEFF. Davis, is the fact that their prin-
cipal port is the only cutrepot for goods to
supply the entire South, and their COM
meroal interests naturally stimulate them
to cling to the conlederacy. Shut up Whining
ton. destroy the commerce OF the Stale, and
North Carolina will fall INCREASINGLY into the
embraces Of Uncle Sam.

The New CALL FOR VoLUNrEERs.-Unless a
change is effected in the present system of re-
cruiting in this State it is certain that we shall
fall largely behind in the quota required from
US under the Presidents last CALL Even tho
little State Of New Jersey is running ahead Of
us, owing to its superior recruiting organiza-
ton. 1t is easy enough to see how this is
Recruits who offer themselves daily at our
Offices almost invariably put this, to them, i'm
portant question, "How much bounty do you
pay in hand?' To this there is but one answer
I'VE can pay you nothing now but you will
get ten dollars as soon as You arrive in camp,
aud as soon as the company is mustered in the
balance" The reply of the recruit naturally
is, "Oh, well, / will just step over to New
Jersey; there shall get enough to send home
to my family, which will keep them all right
until get my regular pay" The next day he
is to be seen, happy and contented, perambu-
latng the streets of New Jersey in Uncle Sans
uniform.
This state of things must not be suffered to
continue. The time is rapidly passing away
which brings us to the limit fixed by the Pre-
suSh'S PioSi"n"''on ioi 'oiuhGtiy iccfuisihg.
II Governor Seymour and our city authorities
had bestirred themselves properly before the
last draft went into operation we should have
escaped all the suffering and anxiety which it
entailed. Notwithstanding they have fair time
to raise all the men wanted before the 9th of
January, their supineness threatens to again
subject us to repetition Of the same troubles
An end must be put to this. There is
no reason why this city or State should
fall behind any other in prompt obedience to
the calls of the government We have always
held that the recruit is entitled to receive the
full amount of bounty for which he enlists i'm
mediately after he enters the service. The
government has in the penalties inflicted for
dcsertion ample means Of Furnishing a breach Of
faith on his part. 1t is but just that his family
shall benefit at once by the inducement that
takes him from them, and not be exposed 10 the
delays interposed by red tapesm or official
mismanagement. But If there were no other
reason than the fact that other States are taking
our men from US by the superiority Of the
bounties which they offer, il should be sufficient
to make US change our present system of re-
cruiting. We trust that the State authorities
and the Board of Supervisors will proceed at
once to have this DONE If they lose any further
time heavy responsibility will rest upon their
| shoulders.

Rebel ckmates-Failure of the Lake
Erie Plot.


Erie Plot.
The rebels are having about these times
various causes Of sore Encouragement. Every
thing they undertake seems to result dsas-
trously. Their sacrifices at tho battle OF
Cbickamauga have proved a useless waste oil
life and war material. Lees prettily designed
movement OF closing the fall campaign in Vir-
ginia by menacing Washington has been skill
fully met by a counter movement, which has
Richmond for its point OF attack. The conduct
OF the British government in seizing upon the
irou.plated rams which Mr.. Laird was putting
the finishing touches to, for the use OF the
rebel confederacy, has provoked howl OF
execration all over Secesss, from Dan to Beer
shcba, and has led to the expulsion Of the
English Consul from Richmond The astute
Napoleon has turned his back upon Slidell,
and put his foot down upon any attempt to get
rebel corsars built in one of his ports. The
business of blockade running has recently
turned out unfortunate to those making the
venture-some halfdozen vessels having been
captured by our cruisers off Wilmington, n. c..
within the last week. And, finally, the
expedition set on foot in Canada designed to
liberate the two thousand rebel Of
Gcers who are now prisoners Of war
on Johnson's Island, in the bay of Sandusky
Lake Erie, has proved an utter abortion, for
which we may, in part thank the Canadian
authorities, who exposed the matter to our
government through the intermediary of Lord
Lyons.
1t is q very curious circumstance, in connec-
tion with this Lake Erie plot, that the existence
Of such plan was made known to us by a
Western correspondent more than year ago.
The thing appeared so feasible that We caused
the Information which we then received to be
brought to the notice Of the government, and
we are inclined to believe that measures were
taken at the time to Illustrate the attempt.
The blockade runner Robert E. Lee, which
carried to Halifax the rebel officers who under
took to work out this scheme, has been rather
unfortunate. She arrived at Halifax on the
18th of October, having escaped from our
cruisers off Wilmington after sharp chase, in
which one shell passed through her forward
part, injuring three of her crew. She

and tobacco which she discharged there, and
which was to supply funds to defray the ex-
penses of tho expedition which has so signally
failed. But on her way back to Wilmington.
having on board very important correspondence
from Europe, she fell into the hands of our
cruisers, and is now prize. So also is the Cor
nuba. These two vessels were not mere
private blockade runners. They belonged to
the rebel government. Thus, one by one,
all the moves made in this desperate game
Of rebellion, are defeated; and the very best
thing that jeff. Davis can do now is, after sur
veying the board, aud seeing the certainty of
defeat to give up the game, take his troops, and
march off to Mexic.

DEAD HEADS AND TnEArREs.-We perceive
that one of our theatrical managers has just
declared his intention to abolish the I" dead
head" system altogether. He has been hum
bugging the public for several years, but this
time be has given them good and substantial
thing. The "dead head" system ought to be
abandoned universally, and if other managers
will follow the example referred to they will
find that the cause of the drama as well as their
own interests will be very much benefited by
it. The press, as well as other parties, should
be included in the exclusion from free seats.
Admitting members of the press to the thea
tres unfortunately is only cheap method Of
getting pufls in the newspapers. Managers
should act on the same principle as the butcher,
the baker or the tailor, and make people pay
for what they get.
