The Daily Dispatch: may 18, 1861., [Electronic resource], The blockade to be Disregarded. (search)
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 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.

I feel in Georgia like I was at home in my own State. Many of your citizens are emigrants, or the children of emigrants from our State; among whom are the Gilmers, Lumpkins, Forsythes, Earlys, Meriwethers, and many others. I hope you will excuse me from making any further remarks, out of respect for the day. I suppose you only wanted to hear a word about Virginia. [Here some one in the crowd asked him if there were any Federal troops in Alexandria] No, my friend, said Mr. Rives, there are none at that point --There are no Federal troops on any part of the soil of Virginia except Fortress Monroe.

While he was uttering these last words the train was moving, and he retired amidst the applause of the crowd.
