n must have earned any amount of dinner, and we hear of them at Epping and Harlow, and then among the marshes of the Lea at Waltham Abbey, the monks of which were, at one time, large proprietors and lords of manors in the district; and so on to a bridge called Lock bridge, now broken down, where now for passage is used Trajetus (a ferry), and from thence by the same river Lea (which bounded at once the forest and the county), to the fore-nominated bridge of Stratford Bow. —Cornhill Mag., March, 1864. near which he established a village of threescore and six dwellers. After completing this settlement he founded the church. The place was named Waltham, from the Saxon Wealdham, a dwelling or home on the forest or wild. It afterwards received the adjunct name of Holy Cross, from a cross with a figure of our Saviour upon it, said to have been found at Montacute, and brought to Waltham, where, in the hands of the priests, it manisested miraculous powers. It is said to have cured Harold,

The Chances of blockade running. A list of the vessels which have been running the blockade from the port of Nassau and other ports, in the period intervening between November, 1861, and March, 1864, shows that 84 steamers were engaged; of these 37 were captured by the enemy, 12 were totally lost, 11 were lost and the cargoes partially saved, and one foundered at sea. They made 363 trips to, Nassau and 65 to other ports. Among the highest number of runs made were those of the Fannie, who has run 18 times, and the Margaret and Jessie, which performed the same feat, and was captured. Out of 425 runs from Nassau alone (including 100 schooners) only 62--about one in seven--have been unsuccessful. A letter from Nassau on this subject says: You will please observe that most of the boats here enumerated were wholly unfit for the purpose to which they had been hastily applied under the inducements of the large profit, and are very different from those which have been more recen

of lead, 1 3,000 pounds of saltpetre, 546,000 pairs of shoes, 346,000 pairs of blankets, ,000 pounds of coffee, 69,000 rifles, 97 packages of revolvers, 2,639 packages of medicine, 43 cannon, with a large quantity of other articles, of which we ed make no mention. Besides these, any valuable stores and supplies are brought, by way of the Northern lines, to Florida, by the port of Galveston through Mexico, across the Rio Grand. The shipments of cotton made Government account since March 1864, amount to $5,296,006 in specie. Of this, cotton, to the value of $1,500,000, has been shipped since the 1st of July and up to the 1st of December. It is a matter of absolute impossibility for the Federal to stop our blockade-running at the port of Wilmington. If the wind blows off the coast, the blockading fleet is driven off. If the wind blows landward, they are compelled to haul off to a great distance to escape the terrible sea which dashes on a rocky coast without a harbor with

the control of this bureau and placed in the hands of Brigadier-General Pillow, who continued to administer it until January, 1864. This bureau has never been able to obtain any record or report of the operation of conscription in those States during that period of seven months. It is believed none exist. Much of the year 1864 was exhausted in the endeavor to get rid of the system of General Pillow and re-establish a more uniform and efficient service. It is believed the returns, since March, 1864, from those States are nearly correct. In the States of Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi there has been "failure" to execute the law of conscription for the reasons stated above. --In the other States it has been executed with as much uniformity and vigor as the agencies assigned to the duty and the circumstances of the country would allow. Where there have appeared diversities they have resulted from the difference in the efficiency of officers, the opposition of Stat
