very soon. You will certainly have to use it on Carline and Hall; but, by-the-way, I forgot that you have a great abundance of grape vines, and as we are now very poor, I doubt if it would not be good economy to use the vine and save the hemp for the royal traitors such as Gen."Turoen" and the like of him. We are fixing up things generally about here, and although we send you many fighting men, we have some few of the same sort left behind; and we invite most especially out beloved brethren to come over and see us. I am glad to see that the English papers look at things in the right light; and whilst I ever had much love for England, it cannot be denied they know what statesmanship is, and they know what treachery is, and they can see, and do see it sticking out so prominently in all of Lincoln and Seward's short reign, that no honest man or nation can do otherwise than execrate the whole batch of politicians spawned into existence from Black Republican stools.

Mr. Seward's Definition of treason. --The Washington Secretary of State has addressed the following letter to Mr. G. Henequen, of New York, agent of the late New York and Virginia Steamship Company: Department of State, Washington, May 16, 1861 Sir: I have received your letter of yesterday's date, asking me to give you in writing my reasons for considering an acceptance on your part of Governor Letcher's proposition to purchase the steamships Yorktown and Jamestown, recently sefort to public enemies. To sell vessels to them which it is their purpose to use as ships-of war, is to give them aid and comfort. To receive money from them in payment for vessels which they have seized for those purposes, would be to attempt to convert the unlawful seizure into a sale, and would subject the party so offending to the pains and penalties of treason, and the Government would not hesitate to bring the offender to punishment. Wm. H. Seward. I am, sir, your obedient servant,

The blockade to be Disregarded. --We have seen a gentleman in every way reliable, just from Washington, who states it as a common rumor that Lord Lyons called on Secretary Seward to-day, and announced to him that England would not recognize the present blockade. Certain it is that Lord Lyons called on Mr. Seward upon official business, and imparted something not altogether pleasant. This rumor gathers further importance from the fact that two English vessels were brought to at Fortreetary Seward to-day, and announced to him that England would not recognize the present blockade. Certain it is that Lord Lyons called on Mr. Seward upon official business, and imparted something not altogether pleasant. This rumor gathers further importance from the fact that two English vessels were brought to at Fortress Monroe, on Tuesday last, not being allowed to enter Norfolk, and full time has transpired to communicate that fact to the British Minister.--Alexandria Sentinel, 17th.

e South, but it was extinct at the North. Butler is a specimen of the only type of hero which the North can furnish. Sickles is another; Lincoln still another. Seward the false, Seward the liar, is the best type of statesman that the North can boast. Paradoxical as it may seem, none who know him will deny that John C. Heenan hSeward the liar, is the best type of statesman that the North can boast. Paradoxical as it may seem, none who know him will deny that John C. Heenan has more of the higher qualities of character than any of the creatures we have named. Heenan is a man of war in his way. Circumstances cast his lot in the lowest ranks of society; but, even in the sewers, he devoted his life to fame rather than to gain; and he is a better man to-day than Butler, or Sickles, or Lincoln, or Seward.Seward. The South was far from being corrupted by the principles of gain and selfishness. With Davis, Beauregard, Pickens, Wise, Beach, McCullough, and thousands of their stamp, it would be a libel to say that her race of heroes was extinct. But war is the nursery of heroism, and it is doubtless for some great providential purpose
