Blockade Runners.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The blockade
runners have secured first blood in spite
of all preparations made by Admiral
Bunce to detect any attempt to pass the
long line of ships which he has strung
out across the entrance to the harbor.
The Dolphin, not by any means fast
boat nor invinoible, as regular blockade
runner, slipped quietly around one end of
the line on the 9Th instant, and when the
department heard of her she was hard of
Et. ohn's river. The Florida officials of the
department we're puzzled when notified
by Commander Glover by telegraph Of
his whereabouts. Private letters receiv-
ed here from persons of the squadron ex-
plain her movements as successful run
ming of the blockade. The fleet is now
on watch, not only against the return of
the Dolphin, but for the appearance of
the Vesuvius, little boat swifter than
anything in the fleet, and like regular
blockade runner, lower in the water than
the Dolphin. Moreover, the vesuvius is
painted dipgy, invisible shade of gray
and is much more likely to make a sue
cessful run than the Dolphin. Secretary
Herbert expects to leave here on the 18th
for Charleston, to see for himself how the
blockade progresses and it is probable
that he will have some distinguished COM
pRny.

THE NEW CABINET OFFICER
Farewell Dinner to Lyman Gage by
the Commercial Club OF Chicago.

Chicago, Feb 12.-The Commercial
club last night, gave farewell dinner to
Lyman Gage, the new cabinet officer. In
speech Mr.. Gage said, that the more
advanced scientists recognize that a large
number of so-called diseases, find exist
ing cause in that part of the physical or
ganization, known as the EN- motional
center. These diseases can not be
reached by ordinary means, but must be
addressed through mental impressions
and suggestions. This, Mr.. Gage inti-
mated, was the source of trouble with the
social conditions, and then continued: "It
is unwise to be blind to the dangers of such
q situation. Men of steady minds and
strong hearts, must with temperance and
charity in exercise of the right of reason
find the true path which leads to peace
and safety. There are real mistakes to
be corrected. We have violated natural
laws, which govern in the realm Of
economics, with the same force and
power that they do in the physical realm"
