The importance Of Wilmington to the South

there has been imported into Wilmington, from
Europe, s,03200O pounds Of meat, 100000
pounds of lead l,933,000 pounds Of saltpetre,
546 600 pairs of shoes 3l6,000 pairs Of blankets
$4,000 pounds Of coffee, 90, 000 rifles, 81 pack
ages Of revolvers, 1859 packages of medicine,
43 cannon, with large quantity Of other articles
Of which we need make no mention.
II is claimed that it is a port that can not be
blockadcd. ~
The Richmond (va.) Dispatch says:
Itis q matter of absolute mpossibility for the
Federsls TO stop our blockade running ut the port
of Wilmington IL the wind blows OF the coast,
the blockadng fleet Is driven of. If the wind
blows landvard. they are compelled to haul off to
great distance TO escape the terrible sea. which
dashes on a rocky coast, wilhouta harbor within
three days sail The shoals on the North Caro-
lima coast are from five 10 twenty miles widc and
they are, moreover, COMPOSED Of the most troach-
erous and botoinlsss quicksands. The whole coast
Is scarcely equalod IN the world for danger and
fearful Appearance, particularly when strong
eastcrly wind meets the cbb tide.
Ii Is an easy matter for a good pilot TO run a
vessel directly out 10 sea or int, port but in tbs
stormy months, from October 10 April, no block
aiding vessel can lie at anchor in safety of the
Carolina coast Therefore, supplies will be brought
in despite the keencst vigilance lo fs.

A Capital HIT by the President.

In his late interview with the 6 Negro
Preachers |" in Washington, the President,
among other things, said:
a slave State, and had owned slaves; yet he
had never cold one, and they all had gone
free.
There was difference in the responsibility
which persons residing IN slave States had to
take on the subject of emancipation from those
who resided ont Of them. 1t was very easy for
men who lived beyond their borders to get up
sympathy and talk about the condition of
colored persons, when they knew nothing
about it. Their great sympathy was not re-
daced to practice.
The President is lately reported to have
said to a distinguished Senator, that much
as he hated secessionist, he despised
fanatic worse.
