The way to Raise the blockade.

--G. B. Lamar, Esq., concludes a letter from Richmond about our victory, with the following very patriotic and truthful views:

‘ "I am sure if Congress will cut off all indirect means of Europe getting cotton and tobacco from us, except by raising the blockade, and then offer free trade and no dutied on goods, that the blockade will be raised by France and England by the 1st of October, or very soon thereafter. I hope they will levy a tax to the amount of $25,000,000, pay their troops promptly, and keep up our progress till winter, with its sufferings, compels our fanatical enemies to let us go in peace."
