We find the following in the Mobile Tribune of the
10th. It may be of some interest to our readers:
To President Davis.
Editor Tribune :-Great complaints are often ex-
pressed in the public papers at the conduct of Great
Ritlao who protesting strict, Neutrality in the pres
ent war, nevertheless covers enemys property under
her flag that she has become the carrier for our enc
my; that she is making rich harvest out OF this war;
which Of the why she does not acknowlede
our Independence &c, &c. The Doctor of Laws has
long since Issued his proclamation, declaring the whole
coast OF the Confederate States bocsaded. Coase-
quenty every neutral vessel boarded the high seas
bound for Confederate port, is captured and sent
North, aud condemned Ga the contrary, if our cru-
sers overhaul neutral with enemys property, she is
permitted to go on her Way rejoicing. Now the sim
piest remedy for all this evil is reatiation" Let
President Davis issue bis proclamation declaring the
whole Yankee coast, from Canada 10 the Chesapeake
IN state oi blockade then, and n that case, every
neutral vessel bound for Yankee port, whether she
has goods cont,aband of war or rot, will be lawful
prize to our cruisers. Let President Daviss fat 60
forth, and the high and the Yankee coast will
soon swarm with Alabamas and Floridas This will
be beating the Yankees at their own game. Neutral
goods, bound to blockaded port, to be considered
contraband of war. Mass, T. R., 102; Richard
son vs. Marine Insurance Company Sup. Court,
Mass, 1909.
Jf Davis is as competent TO institute paper block
ade the Doctor OF Laws. 1t is bad rule that won't
work both ways This course will open Lord Pamers-
tons eyes. 1t will knock the "poery' out of him.
Says be They who in quar-es interpose, will oft
wipe bloody nose' This will afford no Just grounds
of complaint on the part of neutrals for they can
stand the baboons paper blockade they cen stond jeff
Davis. Il hope authorities will attend 10 this mat.
ter fer fully pereRaded there is potency In it
than there is in ' King Cotton" If Napoleon the
Great occupied the seat OF JEFF Davis, how long would
it take him to ''Eetaliae upon Liocoln? I be Ber-
question.

other object than to interrupt the communications of
different pations and to extend tho and inus

Z. That this being the evident design of England who
deals the continent in English merchandise fay
that design and becomes accOmplice
6. That this conduct n England (~orthy only of the
first of barharsm has bnefted her to the detment
of otIer nations.
9. That it being right to oppose to enemy the
she makes Of to combat she does when Il
IDEAS jastce every liberal sentiment (the result
of civza ion among men) are Gieregardedwe have
solved to enforce against England the agea which she
has cousecrated in her ma ratiUe code.

persons who not military, aud uo the rjght Of
blockade be restrained to fortified Places actually

Three cheers for my cousin the Emperor, Je Davis,
