serable wretches, I am acquainted with your character, and do not intend to be intimidated by you. I have said nothing inflammatory, but came here to speak to you of your rights, which are being trampled in the dust. Then, why not listen to reason?" He said that he knew they were not a fair representative of the sentiment of Baltimore, or of Maryland. Whenever they were ready to hear him, he would prove to them that every right they had under the Constitution of Maryland or of the United States was trampled under foot by the Administration at Washington. Talk of the dungeons of Naples! the Inquisition of to-day outstrips everything in the shape of usurpation which the world has ever heard of; there has been nothing to equal it since the time when mankind first undertook to rule the will of despots. The action of the Federal Government in relation to your Police Commissioners is unequalled in the annals of outrage and despotism. He was here to contend for the eternal pri

of Springfield, which is situated in the southwestern portion of the State. The money in the Bank, it is said, was placed under Gen. Lyon's protection — a depository which we should consider very unsafe. If this is true, the previous report of Gen. Lyon's death was false. A dispatch from Louisville will attract attention. It indicates a purpose to raise the blockade on certain articles, which would give the Western farmers an opportunity of shipping their surplus produce to the Confederate States. We cannot say that we have much faith in the statement; but if there is any truth in it, the inference is that Secretary Chase is yielding to an outside pressure, in the hope of inducing the people of the West to "come down" liberally on the war loan. Another strange report comes from Washington. A New York delegation is said to be ting on a restoration of trade as a prelude to the Government loan. Now, a restoration of trade means a restoration of peace; we think the Southe

usted, prevent American capital being embarked in the nefarious traffic. Mr. Hope said the slave trade would continue until it was made unprofitable. He suggested a differential duty on slave-grown sugar. Lord Palmerston said nothing but the progress of public opinion in other nations could destroy the trade; but he regarded the public opinion of France as having of late considerably retrograded. The Government was desirous of stopping the French system of coolie trade in disguise; but the only alternative was the granting of facilities for the coolie emigration which would be carried out as an experiment, under the most approved regulations. He regretted the Government was not more successful in inducing the United States to take more stringent measures to put down the traffic, which is chiefly carried on by American vessels. He did not think a Consul at Mozambique would do much good, but the proposition was worthy of consideration. The subject was then dropped.

Challenge for a naval Engagement. --We learn that on Saturday last the Confederate war steamship Patrick Henry, formerly the Yorktown, came down James river to within a mile or two of Newport News, and offered a challenge for combat to a large United States frigate lying off that point. So great was the agitation and confusion on board the frigate, it is said, that they did not take time to furl their awnings, but pulled them right down and beat to quarters. The Patrick Henry stopped off at her position, with her ports open ready for a combat, if she could induce the Yankee to come from under the guns of the shore-battery; but the latter positively declined the invitation, and stuck to her safe place. It is believed by those who witnessed the operation that the Patrick Henry would have ventured battle regardless of the shore battery, but for the presence of two or three Federal gun-boats.--Norfolk Day Book.

Letters to citizens of the Confederate States--a New feature in the blockade. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 12 --The following is obtained from a reliable source. The Postmaster General declines to deliver domestic letters addressed to persons in the seceded States after they reach the dead letter office. The letters will be opened as fast as received, and generally will be promptly returned to writers. Foreign letters will be delivered op presentation of an order from parties to whom they are addressed. A Kentucky Congressman, in Secretary Chase's confidence, says that the system of permits will soon be abandoned. Artleles -ly universally acknowledged to be contraband of war will be blockaded at this point. Bagging and rope fabrics, provisions and small stores will pass. Drugs are also heavily urged.

A Scathing Explosions of Lincoln's Absurdities.[from the London telegraph, July 19.] Besides the startling measures announced by the President of the United States for the prosecution of the war, his Message to Congress on opening this extraordinary session comprises a historical glance at the origin of the civil war, an explny a t is used in the composition, it is entirely employed in the endeavor to diminish the show of numbers, power, resolution, and the unanimity amongst the Confederate States Six States are named as having joined the Confederacy; Virginia is spoken of as if she were still balancing between secession and Union, consenting to make ents with that teritory, and a clique assembled around President Jefferson David at Richmond, the said Richmond being mentioned as if it were still within the United States.--This is by far the best part of a message which reminds us, un c ily of the worst compositions that have emanated from the White House at Washington.

A Rumor. --The Charleston Courier publishes the following extract from a private letter received in that city, dated Tamps, August 1, 1861: News reached here last night of the capture of the United States steamer Crusader by the Confederate States steamer Sumter. I trust it is so. The news was brought by the schooner Wanderer, which was seized by the Lincoln Government, and is now used as a transport to the blockading fleet stationed off this bar.
