Is the Blockade Raised.

u Since the driving off of the Federal fec
from the blockading station before Charleston
by a superior force of the Confederates, the
question Of whether the Blockade is raised, is
being very generally discussed. On this
spbjecta a correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
gives the following points in the case, ....
~ Has the blockade of Charleston, harbor been
illegally raiscdr' That is asserted by the
foreign consuls at Charleston, and the cons
manders of the land and naval forces of the
Codf;deratcs at Charle ston declare chat the
blockade by the Uniied st ties of the said har-
bor has been raised by superior force of the
Confederate States from and after, the 31st of
January" This naval raid upon the FEEDER;
blockadiug squadron was, of course, ma lie
with view 10 cruise the block Id" under
IN ttional law. 1t was 10 doubt inter d ID to
accomplish the object legally, not practical
ly and the declarations OF the result which arc
eHectually put forth have rr 1bably been ma le
nnder legal advice. .
iIhe national law bearing on this question
is is;explicit, According to (hlncellor Kent,
'When a blockade is raised voluntarily or by
aSsaParier force Il puts crd TO IL absolutely
and ifit be resumed ncutra's must be charged
with notice dc moro. and without reference to
tie former state of things, be fore they can
be involved in the guilt of violation of the
blockade" ......
In the present case, the United States au
thoriics mag eontradct the fact The ncu-
tral sbonhd only to look at the TN ter ocfact
Ii lie can ontcr the port after the blockadinG
squadron is removed, either voluntarily or by
The superior force of the enemy, lie is not an
swerablc for breach of tho blockade.
In the Charleston case, if tho fact of the re-
moval of the blockade be admitted by our
government, it will be necessary to show that
it was accidental, and rot by the encmy's
superior force, in order to make neutral re-
sponsible. 1t is clear, however, that if the
fact existed, it was not the result of accident
This government must, therefore, give notice
GA removal of the blockade, and meanwhile
questions may arise as to the responsibility
of ncutrals, under the law of blockade cf
for breach o the | | ckadc o. { h .rlcston.-
The government, as l learn, has not yet re-
ceivcd official adviccs of this affair.
1t is very possible that upon the first occa-
sion of capture by the Federal blockading
sluaCrJn of n neutral entering or dcpartir G
f ON the port of Charleston, an immediate
question will arise between Us and foreign
powers. 1t is not improbable that the Cor
f:dcratos have, ere this made the question by
,nding out neutral vessel to be captured.

Money for the Negro-nonc for the
i, F'' ".'.. ~" White Man.

= Hs~O One million dollars was recently placed
by the Government to the credit of the Eman-
cipadon Commissioners at Washington torec-
oanpenso siaYe~s$,ners in the district of CO.
lumbia forathc, emancipation Of their slaves.
That amount expended in this county for the
relief of ,ohite me,, who have suffered severely
from the presence Of the army in their midst,
would bring joy and comfort to many ruined
and desponding family. But the wants and
Comfort of the negro must be first attended to
by this Abolition Congress, So long as there
is negro to serve or dollar left to serve to
him. the white man must stand back. If you
complain at this you are "Rebel," and a
''traitor,' ''secessionist" and "disloyal"

"Free Speech, Free Press and Free
SOil.o

''Free Speech; Free Press and Free SoH''
was the rallying cry of Abolitionists for Years
tef re they got into power. That was their
/ i ,fession-what has been their practice?-
For the attempt to ,oy the rights of "free
speech men havebccn torn from their families
and business at the hour ofmidnight, removed
from their State, and confined in the loath-
some dungeons of the Bastile; denie all the
comforts Of life-even refused medicine when
they were suffering from disease, and not even
allowed the privilege of reading the bible du-
ring the long ard melancholy weeks and
months of solitary confinement; and then
forcd to take an oath, not to allow Il rtrosncuS
tion to be instituted against their oppressors
before they could get an honorable discharge. !"
'Frce press" was asccrtaincd to be freedom
t. laul and magnify the abilities of "Honest
cd Abe for'the position he unexpectedly and
unfortunately occupies-the honesty of all his
contractors and parasites the excellent man
ssemcnt of the war: to declare that every bat
tie was "a glorious victory" for the Union.
; that every stakeholder was a rebel, and every
negro loyal man, that should be freed, fed

ditions of of''freedom" were not scrupuously Oh

Black and White.


In the Z. S. Senate, short time since, Mr.
Salisbury of Delaware introduced resolution
asking information from the SECRETARY of War
as to the arrest and imprisonment without
legal process, trial or charges, of DR.. John Lane
and Colonel Meredith, white men, and citizens
of the loyal State of Delaware. On the nc
ton of an abolition Senator, the resolution was
promptly laid upon the table, and the infor-
nation sought to be obtained, was denied.
Immediately after this, Mr.. Summer prescn-
ted resolution calling for information from
the Secretary of War, as to the capture OF
certain black men by the rebel force, and their
reported sale into slavery by their captors,
and as to the steps that have been taken ''to
rctifess this outrage upon human rights'-
This resolution was adopted as promptly as
that of Senator Salisbury had been laid OH the
table! ..,.- IL, 81
Here VIC see illustration of the fact that the
negro and his rights and wrongs are regarded
as of vastly moro importance than the white
man and his rights and wrongs. The brigade
of nesro-worshippers in tho Senate, so Jealous
of the liberty and rights of the black man, can
see no Outrage upon human rights" to '.re-
dress" when white citizens are seized without
warrant of law, and left to rot in q govern
ment bastilc at the will of some official dotarc

We called at the United States
Collectors Office yesterday and found
it converted into an armory. Mus.
kets, shotguns, rifles. and FIVE shoot
ing blunderbusses of modern inven-
tion, with pistols of several varieties,
and swords and sabres were stacked
around in open view in great quanti-
ties, while there were concealed in
open boxes a large number of Colts
finest pistols, worth from twenty to
City dollars each, and in other boxes
abundant supplies Of ammunition in
ell shapes and every variety. from sim
pie powder and ball to patent car
tridgcs of the latest inventions.
All Of these articles were seized on
their passage through this place to
their destinations to some of the Cop
perhead towns Of the interior. Some
Of the boxes were marked, Effects of
deceased Soldiers !" others purported
10 be groceries !; others again we're
put mp in other shapes calculated to
deceive and elude detection. This
fact and the correspondence which
has been discovered from time to time
in reference to the matter, leave no
doubt that these FIRE arms and ammu-
milton were to arm the Golden Circle
Copperheads for the conflict which
they are seeking in resistance to the
Government.
We feel assured that could the hon.
est masses, who are numbered with
the Democratic party of Iowa, see
these arms, read the evidenc concern.
ing them. and the evidence on file in
in the Provost Msrshal's Office, they

them. bliDdfolded as they are, with
party spirit. ignorance, aud prejudice.
