LEAP YEAR.-This is leap year, and tie fact will
add interest to the following extract from an old
volume printed in 17OS entitled Courtship, Love
and Matrimony: -..
Albeit it is now become part of the common
law in regard to the social relations of life that as
often as every bissex,e year doth return the ladies
have the sole privilege during the time it contnueth
of making love unto men, which they may do either
by words or by looks, as unto them seemeth proper
and, moreover no will be entitled to the bene-
fit Of clergy who doth refuse to accept the offers of
lady, or who doth in anvwise treat her proposal
with slighter ttntumely.

from sgentleman who came through direct from
Washington yesterday, that the enemy nov have
twenty-s vessels blockadng that port These yes
sels are scattered for mile or two off the mouth of
the Cape Fear and guard all thesvenues Of approach
with the most slsepless vigilance The consequences
are that the chances Of running the blockade have
been greatly lesseued and is apprehended by some.
that tie day is not far distant when it will be an
impossbty for vessel to get into that port with
out mourning hazard almost equivalent to positive
loss. Hssing secured every seaport on our coast,

While en- route here several things came under
my observation worthy of note and one especially,
that Congress should not fail to take pepper steps

cars loaded with cattle, with this endorssment'upon
one of the boxes: "These cattle have been here
for three days and have never received food water
Where are theconmlssaries! December L., 1863"
This caused me to, inquire into the matter, and
learned from gentleman who lived there that they
had been there. for SIX DAYS and received neither

So in the free States alone there are one million
and half of Democrats at the close Of 1866. What
glorious figure! This is 100000 more than Mr.
Douglas got in all the States Northern and South

at such good progress under the terrible of
the last three yearsa Only think of it nearly
100000 Democrats IN New England, which we have
been inclined to give over entirely to the Abolition
lists; nearly 300,O 900 in New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania; 100000 IN Ohio, and $50, 900 in Indiana and
Illinois. The other Western States contribute near

After breaking faith with the substitute men, an
