THE BLOCKADE AT LAST.
Yeeterday forenoon the Look-Out on Hendley's
buildings ran up the red flag, signalizing war
with tbe token for one sail and one
beneath, bringing groups of curious
observara to tbe observatories with which Gal-
veston' is ao well provided. In due time tbe
dark hall of of a large steam propeller loomed
apabove the waters, followed by a"low,black,"
but by no means "rakish looking schooner,"
and approached the anchorage outside the bar.
By order of Capt. Moore, of tbe Confederate
States Army, Capt. Thos. Chubb, with tbe pi-
lot-boat Royal Yacht, with our fellow-citizen
John 8. Sydnor, proceeded to board the steam-
er, which proved to be the South Carolina, for-
merly in the New York and Savannah trade,
bat now coa verted into a war vessel.
The Royal Yacht, in answer to the pilot sig-
nal of tbe steamer, hoisted a flag. The
steamer evidently intended to force them to
board the schooner; but this.was not the in-
tention. Capt. Cbubb, on seeing the Jack was
down, pat about for the city,(bemg at tbe same
time oat of range, when the steamer hoisted a
white flag. The Yacht then sent a boat along-
side, bearing Colonel Sydnor and Capt. Chubb.
They were received with due ceremony and
marked politeness. Col. Sydnor having deliv-
ered Capt. Moore's letter, Capt. Alden gave
him written notice of the blockade. A conver-
sation of about ao hour ensued, during which
Capt. Alden was assured of the entire unity of

GALVESTON, TUESDAY
9, 1861.
NO. 14.
Ifalr at Beenvllle.
Aa eye-witness of the fighting near Boonville,
Mo., on tbe morning of the 17th inst., (of which
contradictory reports by telegraph,)
ó the following faets to tbe St. Louis
State .Teurnal:
Major General Fitos was ill on Sunday, and
issued an order for the retirement of the State
towards Arkansas. He himself, left tor
his'home, at Brunswick. The forces under
Gen, Lyon landed near Rocbeport, on the south
side of the Missouri river, and marched then
toward Boonville. A few companies of State
troops met them about six miles below Boon-
ville, and attacked Lyon's forces, Company B,
To the Planters of Texas.
Congress, at its last session, authorized a
loan of Fifty Millions of Dollars, in Bonds, pay-
able in twenty years, with semi-annual interest
at eight per cent.; twenty millions of which
may be issned in Treasury Notes, receivable in
payments of taxes and debts dae tbe Confed-
eracy, the whole secured by the pledge of tbe
faith of foe Confederate States, and by a tax
to be laid at the next session of Congrese.—
Tbe bonds may be issued " for tbe proceeds of
tbe sale of raw produce," and each member is
required by resolution of Congress, to address
bis constituents, and receive subscriptions for
the loan, payable out of tbe growing crop.
This appeal to your patriotism cannot be
made in vain.
A nation, rich, powerful, and numerous,
threatens us with subjugation. Our ports have
been blockaded, our soil invaded, our existence
as a nation, and everything that we hold dear,
is involved m the struggle. We must repel
the enemy; we most triumph, and we will.
But how 1
Our fine youths—our noble citizens—are iu
tbe field, in vast numbers—tbe whole male
npulation are ready to offer their services,
'he contest is, who shall bi received? There
are more volunteers than can be accepted. We
haveone of the sinews of war, viz: men in full
am^ttude. But we must have money to sus-
tainTne civil Government, and to feed, clothe,
equip, and pay our large armies. The Govern-
ment has not received f-om customs, or other
sources, and from the loan authorized at the
first session of Congrese, more than fitne mil-
lions of dollars; two millions of that loan
may be issued for tbe transportation of troops,
and the mail by railroads, leaving nearly five
millions, for which there has been no subscrip-
tion. Tbe daily expenditures of tbe Govern-
ment are between two and three hundred
thousand dollars.
This is no time for false delicacy, or the
shadow of concealment—money, and a great
deal of it, is necessary to our defence.
The Government asks for fifty millions—how
can it be obtained ?
We have not been acknowledged by foreign
powers. Until this is done, we probably could
not procure a loan from foreign bankers ; and
if we could, it would be impolitic, as our own
resources are amply sufficient. No revenue
can flow be derived from customs; and two
plans for raising, money were presented to
Congress; one, by immediate direct tax; and
the other, by reiving upon the credit ot the
Government) by sale of Bonds and Treasury
Notes.
Congress bad not sufficient information of
tbe value of property in States where there
was no ad valorem system to lay a /air and
equal taxation ; and if laid, from the delay in
its execution, it could not have answered the
pressing exigencies of tbe Government.
Tbe only resources for the immediate supply
of money, was by the issue of Bonds and
Tre¿ sury Notes; and the success of the measure
depends in a mot.t eminent degree upon the
planting and farming interests of tbe oountry.
As a class, the planters did not take any of
the first loan. There was, perhaps, no sub-
scription iu Texas. It was taken by banks and
commercis! men. There is but little probabili-
ty that they will take more, unless tbe planting,
the leading interest, will subscribe largely for
tbe last loan.
An immediate advance of money by planters
for the purchase of bonds and treasury notes
is not proposed. Tbe surplus fiom their pre-
vious crops is probably invested.
Tbe appeal is for a subscription of a portion
of their forthcoming crops, to be paid for, wben
sold, in Confederate bonds.
The planter, or his factor, is to order the sale,
and the net proceeds to be paid fcfr bonds at
eight percent. «
It may be asked, how will this avail as present
revenue ? It Will give tbe Government crecUt.
The cotton crop of tbe South is four million of
bales. A subscription for one-fourth would be
one million, equivalent to forty-five or fifty
million of dollars, independent of subscriptions
from rice, sugar and tobacco planters. The
fact of the certain realization of a large amount
would ensure immediate credit to the Govern-
ment. Tbe bonds and treasury notes could be
used as money—capitalists would invest in
bonds and treasury notes, a sound currency
would be circulating through the entire Con-
federacy, and be preferred to the notes of even
specie-paying banks.
No man, in tbe face of such subscription,
could doubt the safety of the investment, oi
the redemption of tbe treasuary notes.
So urgent are tbe public necessities, that tbe
Secretary of tbe Treasury has been compelled,
until the treasury notes can be prepared for
issue, to use the notes of non-specie paying
banks, to be substituted by treasury notes.
This is but a temporary expedient, limited to
the sphere of sucb circulation.
The Government intends that treasury notes
shall be a sound currency.
A large investment in the loan, based as it is
on direct taxation, will sustain the bonds and
notes st their full value, and save us from the
calamities of a currency that is depreciated. It
has been suggested that the blockade may con-
tinue, and sales cannot be effected. This is
exceedingly improbable. Among ot: er reasons,
Great Britain would not, for the want of cotton,
expose herself to the hazards of insunfection
or revolution. But if the blockade did continue,
the cotton, though not sold, would give credit
to the Government, as a fund whicti would be
ultimately realized.
Planters, the case is with you. The war is
waged not solely, but in a great measure, for
your interest and protection.
Where tbe droughts have prevailed for years,
the contribution will probably be small. Bui
some will have a surplus, which they can de-
vote to the public, not by donation, but by
loans, at a good rate of interest, and which
wiU be a safe investment, if anything remains
sate in the South.
We have been taunted by the North as
and that our poverty wdúia be eur defeat. X our
action will repel tbe charge. Our resources
are most abundant, as you will show by your
subscriptions; and no one who, under all tbe
circumstances, is able, will, by his refusal to

Griffin was accustomed to use a quill pen, (ritb

Introduced <nu> bis august presence, young
Murray, with dooming diffidence, presented bis
elegantly written piece for the ordeal. The dis-
cerning ej« of the President passed quickly
over the first sentence, and, with a benignant
look, jé turned to his pupil, and said in his pe-
culiar way:
"Murray—what do you mean bv this first
sentence 1"
Murray answered blnshingly, "I mean so and
so, sir."
"Then say so, Murray,"—and at the sume
time drew his heavy pen through line after line,
striking out about one-third of it.
Having carefully read the next sentence, the
venerable critic inquired:
"Murray—what do you mean by this ?"
He tremblingly replied, "Doctor, I mean so
and so."
"Please just to say so," again striking out
one-half of the beautifully written page.
In this way, with broad nib, which made no

equalled all that remained of the carefuly pre-

^•ography of the Southern States is no con-
nptible trifle. To attempt to bold that vast
ea against the will of its numerous and dis-
used inhabitants is the most futile dream
hich ever passed over the excited brain of a
rhetorical American; and the hope tbat there is
ny party in the Gulf States opposed to seces-
n, and anxious for a reunion to tbe North,

[From the London Shipping Gazette, May 35.]
thb european powers will soon decide.
A very important announcement is made in
the news just received by the Arabia—namely,
tbat the Federal Government have notified to
tbe European Powers that they will hold no in
tercourse with any State which recognizes the
Southern Commissioners. It remains to be seen
how far this threat of a diplomatic rupture will
operate. Tbe Southern Commissioners have
already reached Europe, and only await the
decisions of the various Governments to which
they have been accredited. Tbe course taken
by the Cabinet of Washington will naturally
bring the matter to an issue, and force every
Government having diplomi
with the.United States to taki
It has been supposed by
that only the " aristocratic
were aiding toward tne .
but the following article
represents the Democracy, or radicals, g0 to
show tbat tbe North has no more to expect
from St. Giles's than it has from St. James :
[From the London Telegraph, S2d.]
The dispatch (from Mr. Seward) to Mr. Day-
ton, dated at Washington on the 4th of May,
betrays the extreme anxiety of the American
Government to make the European Cabinets
believe the ''maintenance of the Union beyond
any possible chance—beyond so much as a
speculative discussion. But while asserting
this boundless confidence, her labors to prevent
even such de facto recognition of the Southern
Confederation as Lord J oho Russell has already
announced, and as no European Government,
responsible for the safety of a mere mercantile
marine, could possibly refuse. This anxiety in
itself is a very significant fact. We have al-
ready seen how the public in America is told,
though unofficial, thai the representative Euro-
pean Governments have " consented" to the
.Southern blockade; how falsely we know, and
all Ameriof must equally know the truth from
tbe public declaration of Lord John Russell,
and the observations of M. Thouvenel and Mr.
Faulkner.
The London Standard is equally unkind :
We hold ourselves, in spirit and in deed
aloof from both sides, in a war begun with too
much bravado on the part of the statesmen of
the North. Weare at once unconvinced and
unmoved by the somewhat impertinent letter of
Mr. Clay, which was hardly worth a column of
the Times. It is nonsense to talk of fighting
for liberty and nationality. It is notthe partof
good and brave men to boast tbat tbey are sure
to conquer. The argument that England mnst
help the North for fear tbat the South should
conquer our West Indies, was hardly worth
putting to paper. Just as idle is it to threaten
us with the future vengeance of a possible hun-
dred millions of Americans a century hence—
who, if ever they are called into being, will
probably be divided into half a dozen republics
and as many empires.
