we venture upon the subject of politics, i w ill

expose 'he errors and denounce Hie vices ol

that city, an official list of the vessels of var
ious tonnage, and of every descri ption, i01 eign
arupcoastwise. that have run the blockade since
the date of the proclamation declaring It; and
that the number exceeds five hundred, The
same paper adds :
.As a refre-hhig instance of the inefliciency
of the Lincoln blockade, and I lie contempt in
to which it has fallen, a Northern man some
week* ago applied to the President, with the
statement that lie was the owner of a fast
sailer, with two brothers in the North own
ing two other vessels, the three having been
engaged in the slate trade and avoiding cap
ture for a number of years, and that he was
authoi ized to offer all 'three to the Confeder
ate so: vice as privateersmen, taking the
chances of their putting to sea from a North
ern port. Tile letters of marque were at once ;
granted.
Names of Officers.—There are two or
three General Andersons, two Smiths, and in
Missouri two General Prices. Gen. Thos.
L. Price is Fremount’s right bower, and com

per bushels, apples at twenty-five to thirty

pounds. Such are some of the effects of the
Lincoln blockade on the farmers in the North
western States.

from a merchant in New Orleans, to the effect
that a Fiench agent was in New Orleans buy
