for the neutral trade with the South; Bermuda, Nassau, Havana, and Matamoras. Of these Nassau was tNassau was the most prominent. Situated on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas, it is only about one huof guns and fortifications. A vessel bound to Nassau from one of the blockaded ports must have beenays at the command of the blockade-runners. Nassau was a place of no special importance before th device was adopted. Cargoes were sent out to Nassau, and were there transshipped, sometimes directly for the three days run on the other side of Nassau or Bermuda. But here again the courts steppedmerited success. As cargoes from Liverpool to Nassau ran a risk of capture, the voyage was broken agular steamship lines, to be carried thence to Nassau, and so to find their way to the blockaded terners, however, styling themselves merchants of Nassau, adopted a tone of righteous indignation, and if, indeed, the Bahamas had had any trade, or Nassau any merchants, before the days of blockade-run[5 more...]

If the assertion that the blockade was raised had been true, every blockade-runner in Nassau would have been able to make directly for Charleston, and if captured without having received warning would have escaped condemnation on the ground of want of knowledge. As a matter of fact, the report so industriously spread was essentially false, though it had enough color of truth to give it a ready acceptance, in the absence of proof to the contrary, especially when backed by official testimony. Out of ten vessels on the station, two had been disabled by the attack, and had proceeded t

On the 7th of August the Confederate cruiser Florida had left Nassau, where she had been lying for three months, and had put into Cardenas in Cuba. Intelligence of this fact had been received at Pensacola, the headquarters of the a fight occasionally. Blockading is hard service, and difficult to carry out with perfect success, as has been effectually shown at Charleston, where they run to Nassau regularly once a week. We have done a little better than that; we take them now and then. I don't know how many escape, but we certainly make a good many prizeably exceeded that at Mobile. In December he says again of the blockade at the latter place: We have taken or destroyed all the steamers that run from Havana and Nassau except the Cuba and Alice, and I hope to catch those in the course of time. But Farragut's hope of improving the efficiency of the Gulf blockade was destined t
