IMPORTANCE OF BLOCKADING THE
PORT OF WILMINGTON.

We find the following letter in the New York
Times, showing the Importance OF blockadiug
the rebel port of Wilmington, a subject dis
cussed in the REPUBLICAN some days since
New York, Monday, Aug %, 1851
Being recently from rebeldom, desire to
communicate, through the Times, to the Gov
ornment and your readers some facts which
are of the greatest Importance TO the former
and interest to the latter.
On the 30th day of March last escaped from
rebeldom. Two days more in Dixie and !
should have been a genuine conscriPt, and a
musket-bearer in the rebel army. Having been
resident in Richmond from the commence.
ment of the war, and travelled extensively
through King Jeff.'s dominions, had very
good opportunities Of seeing certain mistakes
or bad management upon the part Of the
United States Government, which It is my duty,
as loyal man, to advise t,of. ] refer to the
business of blockaderunning at the port of
Wilmington, North Carolina, and Mobile, Ala
bama. Fortunately, since my arrival here,
Admiral Farragut has Theoretically sealed the
latter port, and Wilmington ID now the place
that demands the promptattention OF our Gov
ernment. This port is and has been of more
Importance TO the rebels than $4,000 men would
be to-day, and its value increases daily.
The Commissary Department of the rebels
were importing heavily Of provisions when
left there. Not less than twenty large fast
steamers are running regularly between Ber-
muda, Nassau, &C., to Wilmington. The ton
mage Of each is not less than an average OF
1000 barrels. Just think of thisl 10000 bar
rels of -four and pork shipped from the United
States to those Islands, and hence forwarded
into Wilmington, under one fleet, at one ship
ment! From this data calculation may be
made to find the time of starvation Of the
rebels.
Every article that can possibly be needed by
the rebels, such as arms, ammunition, cloth,
ing, &C., are imported through this port, and
cotton, tobacco, and naval stores shipped In
return as exchange.
1t has always been wonder to me why the
Government does not attack this port-this VitdL
point Of the Confederdcy. / am well aware OF
Its fortiAcatlons, and they do not compare In
strength to those of Mobile. My own Idea Is
that Fort Fisher, thlrty-eight miles from Will
mington, at the mouth of Cape Fear river, can
easily be reduced by our fleet there, and this
alone will eileCtuallY blockade that port, and DO
of more Importance than holding the Weldon

PATRIOTIC SPEECH OF PRESIDENT
LINCoLN-"sTAND FAST TO THE
UNION AND THE OLD FLAG.D

Yesterday the 14eth Ohio, one hundred days,
men, paid visit to the President at the White
House, He addressed them as follows:
SOLDIERS OF THE 14STH OHIO: am most
happy TO meet you on this occasion. | under.
stand that 1t has been your honorable privilege
to stand, for brief period, In the defence OF
your country, and that now you are on your
way 10 your homes. i congratulate you, and
those who are waiting to bid you welcome home
from the war; and permit me In the name of
the people TO thank you for the part you have
taken In this struggle for tho life Of the nation.
You are soldiers Of the Republic, everywhere
honored and respected. Whenever ! appear
before body of soldiers, feel tempted to talk
to them OF the nature of the struggle in which
we are engaged. l look upon 1t as an attempt
on the one hand to oyerwhelm and destroy the
national existence, while on our part We are
striving to maintain the Government and instI.
tutions OF our fathers, TO enjoy them ourselves,
and transmit them TO our children and our
children's children forever.
To do this the Constitutional Administration
OF our Government must be sustained, and
beg Of you not to allow your minds or your
hearts 10 be diverted from tho support OF all
necessary measures for that purpose, by any
miserable picayune arguments addressed to
your pockets, or innammatory appeals made
TO your passions and your prejudices.
ltis vain and foolish to arraign this man OF
that for the part he has taken, or has not taken,
and to hold the Government responsible for his
acts. In no Administration can there be per-
feet equality of action and uniform satisfaction
rendered by all.
But this Government must be preserved In
spite OF the acts of any man or set of men. II
is worthy your every effort. Nowhere in the
world Is presented a Government of so much
liberty and equality. To the humblest and
poorest amongst us are held out the highcsl
privileges and positions. The present moment
finds me at the White House, yet there is al
good a chance for your children as there wal
for my fathers.
Again / admonlsh you not TO be turned from
your stern purpose of defending our beloved
country and Its free institutions by any argu
ments urged by ambitious and designing men
but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Soldiers, bid you God-speed to your homes
Loud, long and lusty were the cheers giver
by the brave boys to their Chief Magistrate
and many a loyal heart welled up "Got
bless you as the President retired.

GEN. MCCLELLAN NOT THE HERO OF
THE BATTLE OF MALVERN HILL.

It will be remembered that 1t was at Malvern
Hill that the Army Of the Potomac struck the
terrible blow which checked Lee In his tri.
umphant pursuit, and saved our forces from
total defeat and disgrace. The Rev. J. j. Marks,
in his ly-wrltten work entitled I" The PENN.
suld Campaign IN Virginia." gives the credit Of
that success to Gen. sumper, and not to Gen.
Mcclellan, as follows:
1t may not be Inappropriate to say here
that no small part Of the praise for the success
full retreat OF our army Is due to Gen. Sumner.
Like an iron wall he breasted the foe at Savage
Station, when he stood between the enemy,
flushed with victory and confident in our con-
tinuous defeat, and our exhaused and despond-
ing army. Again, on the next day, at Glen
dale, he infused his invincible courage into all
his command. The disposition of the troops
at the battle of Malvern Hill was known to
have been made by him; and, In the absence of
General Mcclellan, General Sumner, during
most Of that memorable day, commanded the
army. The energy infused into every corps
and company, and the bold confidence which
sprang up in the bosoms of worn, exhausted,
hopeless men, displayed the presence and
power OF a master spirit"
Mcclellan came on shore from the gunboat
Galena and sanctioned the plans of General
Sumner and again retired on board the Galena.
