Thb Blockade Rohnbrs at Nassau.—A correspondent ofthe Providence Post, writing from
Nassau (N P).M.»y  7th, says:
I have counted twenty two of the fleet of Wo«k-
ade runners in the harbor at once. All but two
that I have Been are Eoglish buii, witb torisontai
engines and nearly all aidewheelers, the paddles
so adjusted as to turnup out of the way when,
under sail. Two are Yankee steamboats, bu'lt
North, with tbe walkingbeam engines, and ihey
bave had their guardB out away since they came
out here and one mast put into them. Two of the
handsomest—the Julie and Fannie—b-long in
Charleston. All are painted white. Since the
4th of April a great number ol them have sailed.
Seven steamers and three sailing veeeels have arrived, all loaded, with cotton. Tbe moon has
been large most of the time and they only ran in
and out on dark nights. The gunboat Galena has
also been in the outer harbor two days. She came
to the ibner harbor and exchanged salutes with
the forts and English man of war on tbiB station.
There is a large fleet of ships, barks, brigs and
schooners here—say one hundred and seveoty-
five—all of tbe larger ones from England, with
coal and merchandise for the steamers.: Some
have laid here 'or a long time for a return freight
of cotton. The schooners moct all beloog here
aod bre wreckers, that being abont the only bos-
iuess done here previous to the war. A large
number of storehouses have been recently boilt
here and filled with merchandise for Dixie. Rents
are very high, particularly for stores.
Oi\ BEHOLDING THE  R.1SINQ MOON.
Lo, yon rising moon, from orbs bo bright,
Gleams tbe bright sceptre of tbe queen of night,
Through trackless ether marks her lonely way,
And hides her blushes at tbe break of day.
How many eyes oo thy fair face are beaming,
How many hearts in Cupid's arms are   dreaming;
Tbere is magic on tby bosom flowing,
Tbat pictures fancies to the young heart glowing.
How many lovers, oo their strolls at night,
Have read their destiny by thy pale light;
Tby magic wand sweeps o'er our wilder'd brain,
And disappointment lingers in our train.
Tbe man of science, worships at tby shrine,
Witb all bis learning oannot well define
Why tby pale beams are worship'd most,
Of all the planets in tbe starry host.
This is tbe reason, which to me is plain.
That stilly night gives vigor to tbe brain ;
All worldly cares are banished from our view,
To fill tbe void we seek tor something new.
And every night wben ber round face is showing,
It pictures fancies to tbe young heart glowing.
Imagination soars to upper space,
The sleeping world is decked in Godlike graee.
Each varied scene presented to oor view.
Tells to the searching mind of something new ;
The great Creator formed the stars above.
That we, his creatures, might behold aod love.
Jefferson Davis and Earl RumcII.
Lord Lyons, English Embassador near Washington, recently sent a messenger to Richmond
witb a letter to Jefferson Davis, enclosing ao extract from a dispatch reoeived from Earl Russel,
in which a formal protest is made "against the
efforts of the authorities of the so called Confederate States to build war vessels within her Majesty's Dominions, to be employed against tbe Government of the United States." Jefferson Davis
declined to reply, bnt Instructed his Private Secretary to write as follows :
" The President desires me to say to your lordship lhat while be is not unwilling to waive, in
existing circumstances, tbe transmission of such a
document through other than tbe usual and proper channel, it would be inconsistent with the
dignity of the position be fills, as Chief Magistrate
of a nation comprising a population of more than
twelve millions, occupying a territory many times
larger than the United Kingdom, and possessing
resources unsurpassed by tbose of any other conn-
try oo tbe face of tbe globe, to allow the attempt
of Earl Russell to ignore tbe actual existence of
the Confederate States, and to contumeliously
style them 'bo cilled,' to pass without a protest
and a remonstrance. Tbe President, therefore,
does protest and remonstrate against this studied
insult, and be instructs me to say that in future
any document in wbich it may be repeated will be'
returned unanswered and unnoticed.
With respect to the subject of tbe extract
from Earl Russet's speech, the President desires
mn lo soy tbat tbe plea of neutrality wbioh Is
used to sustain the sinister course of ber Majesty'8
present Government against tbe Government of
the C' niederate States is so clearly contradicted
ty their actions tbat it is regarded by the world—
uot even excepting the United States—as a mere
cover for actnal hostility, and the President cannot but feel tbat tbis is a just view of it. Were,
indeed.her Majesty's Government sincere in a desire
and determination to maintain neutrality, the President could not but feel that they would neither be
just nor gallant to allow the subjugation of a nation
like the Confederate States by such a barbarous,
despotic race as are now attempting it. He cannot but feel, with the history and traditions of the
Anglo-Saxon race before him, lhat under a Government faithfully representing the people of Great
Britain the whole weight and power of that nation
would be unhesitatingly thrown into the scale In
favor of tbe principles of free government on which
these States were originally formed, and for which
alone the Confederate States are now struggling.—
He cannot but feel that, with such a Oovernment,
and with the plea of neutrality urged npon the people aB it now is, no such pitiful spectacle could be
witnessed as is now manifested by Her Majesty's
present Government in the persistent persecution
of the Confederate States, at the beck and bidding
of officers of the United, States while a Prime Minis,
ter mocks and insults the Intel igence of a House of
Commons and of the world, by excusing the permission to allow British subjects to go to tbe United States (o fight against us, by the paltry subterfuge that it was the great demand for labor and tbe
high rate of wages that were taking them thither.
He cannot but feel that a neutrality most cunningly, audaeir usly, fawningly and Insolently songbt
and urged, begged and demanded by one belligerent and repudiated by tbe other, must be seen by
all impartial men to be a mere pretext for aiding
tbe cause of one atthe expense of the other, while
pretending to be impartial, to be in short, but a
cover for treacherous, malignant hostility.
As for the specious arguments on the subject of
the rams, advanced by Early Russell, the President
desires me to state that he is content to leave the
world and history to pronounce judgment npon this
attempt to heap injury npon insult by deolaring
that Her Majesty's Government and law officers are
satisfied of the questions involved, while tbose
questions are still before tbe highest legal tribunal
of the kingdom, composed of members of the Gov-
ement and the highest law officers of the Crown,
for their decision. The President himself will not
condescend to notioe tbem.
I have the honor to be yonr Lordship's obedient,
humble servant,
B. N. Harbison, Private Secretary.

Tbe following is taken from the report ofthe
proceedings of the Connecticut Legislature :
Bill to tax geese and bachelors taken np. Mr.
Harrison was opposed to the provision taxing
bachelors. There was a tax already laid npon a
goose, and any man who lived twenty-five years
without being married could be taxed under that
section.  The bill was postponed.
Captain   Gibson.
Some two or three years ago, the above named
individual, Capt. Walter M, Gibson, passed through
onr oity, on his way to San Francisco. He lectured bere on tbe Islands of tbe Eastern Ocean, and
afterward, if we recollect aright, was charged witb
certain indiscretion.s We recollect distinctly,
however, that he positively denied being in any
way connected with Mormonism,
Ooncerning this Individual, we find tbe following on tbe Salt Lake correspondence of tbe Alta :
Tbe afternoon waa principally devoted to bearing from them an account of their mission and its
results, wbicb had particular reference to a certain
Capt, Wa'ter M. Gibson, a gentleman who passed
ed through Sao Francisco three years, or less ago,
on hie way to Japan, aod the Malay Islands.
From tbe information afforded at tbe meeting,
and what I have subsequently learned. It seems
tbat tbe carreer of Mr. Gibson bas been rather
curious, thongb not witbont numerons ante-types
in the great history of mankind.
Having a political, rather than religions, object
in view, he bas persistently labored for years to
obtain, not eccleslastial dignity, bat regal power,
and savoring highly of poetical romance, in a locality in Oceanlca where, years ago, he suffered,
as he alleged, unjust incarceration and great
wrong. Coming to this region a number of years
ago be was courteously received, measurably petted and afforded ample opportunities tor displaying his talents, which were of no mean order. Polite, suave, eloquent, be seenred quite a. circle of
admirers, and becoming connected witb tbe Mormon Church, ebortly afterwards mads a hasty visit
to tbe Eastern States on a mission, and io a brief
period after his retnro, be started westward, this
time traveling towards tbe field of his prospective
greatness ic the Malay Islands, but findingnfellow
disciples on the Sandwich Islands, he had concluded to rest tbere.
Considerable narrative of bis coorse with the
natives of those latter islands was delivered by the
returned gentlemen named, wbioh evinced a great
amount of astuteness, clearheadedness, and deep
policy oo the part of Mr. G. .in furthering ambitions projects, by making tbe natives subservient
to his purposes, acquiring wealth, and putting
matters in train for ultimately consummating well
conceived designs. The statistics of bis sheep aod
bis oxen, bis turkeys and chickens, his broad aores
his horses and asses—bipeds, for as such he seemed to look upon tbem—were truly of ponderous
dimensions ; ond the manner io whioh be used
tbe labors of tbe ignorant natives, kindly giving
them five days employment in the week, and
bonntilnlly remunerating tbem each day with a
dinner apiece, was calculated to provoke a smile
on the credulity of men, if the subject had not been
deemed a too serious one.
The offending gentleman had established some
schools, in whicb the yonth of the natives wbo
placed themselves under bis care were taught;
bad directed tbeir labor with the object of their
ultimate improvement and amelioration. So far
so good, for wbicb be was rather commended. Bnt
acting on the principle so strongly Inculcated by.
many sectaries that mankind is formed of two
^lasses—the sheep and the goals ; and apparently
believing tbat tbose under bis care were the former, be eeemed to consider It his undoubted privilege to shear tbem to perfection, and doubtless
found the accumulation of fleeces commen>mably
comfortable. Evidently ibis gave him a two-fold
power—control over the minds of tbe rode natives
and the importance wbicb the possession of property bestows in all communities, and especially
»bere there is not sufficient enlightenment to place
anything like a proper valne on the true source
of greatness. His affairs seemed to be in a moat
prosperous train ; his political star was in the ascendancy : everything Was working admirably ;
but apostles Benson and Snow did not appear to
tbiokeo. Tbey looked at matters from a different
stand-point. They bad gone to see if rnmored
reports were true ; and if so, to effect a change for
tbe good of tbe Datives. Tbey "labored" witb bim
to place tbe property be bad acquired In suoh a
shape tbat those from whom it was derived might
receive tbe benefit of it. But Mr. Gibson considered bis plans were developing themselves sufficiently well without apostolic Interference, He
"would none of their counsel," and so in due
course he was exscinded by them from tbe body
ecclesiastical.    This was   ia f.ot   their narrative.
And the course they bad taken in bis excommuni'
oatlon was brought before tbe congregation io tbe
Tabernacle on Sunday afternoon, tbat final action
might be taken In the matter. President Young
being also present, briefly staled tbat it was not
for acquiring or holding properly that Gibson bad
been exscinded, but "for trifling with sacred things
and persistently refusing to be dictated to by the
priesthood," and tbe congregation unanimously
sustained tbe action ot tbe two apostles.
Wbo does not Bee the shadow of death is passing over our land ? Tbat faith bas perished, that
Union bas perished, that all which made us bappy
at borne, and great abroad, bas perished! Wbat
have we left I We have Mr. Linooln, tbe negro,
tbe bastile, tbe Congress, ussnrpatioos, a plundered treasury, an astounding debt, taxes, mobs,

Oh, dear 1 Forney ssys : "Abraham Lincoln
is in our opinion certain to be nominated by tbe
overwhelming voice of tbe people; but, il General
Fremont should be chosen, it is hardly necessary
for ns now to announce, tbat we shall sustain him
with all our power."
He who thinks he can do without others is
greatly mistaken ; and ba wbo thinks others cannot do without him is still more so.
People turn their noses op at this   world   as if
they were in tbe habit of keeping company with a
better one.

A Remarkable   Fiasco.
Mr. John J. Cisco is the keeper of Cbase's greenbacks, in New Yotk city. Not long since, be'paid
two bogus cheks purporting to come from the And-
iter's office in the Custom House, and signed John
W. Hunter, who. for thirty years, has occupied the
posiiion, in that department, of Assistant Auditor,
Mr. Hunter is a man of careful and prudent habits,
has alway borne a most irreproachable character,
and yet, when It was discovered tbat these checks
were bogus, Mr. Cisco insisted that they were not
forgeries, but had been actually signed' by Mr.
Hunter. So positive was he that he was right, that
he had Mr. Hunter arrested, and the matter has just
undergone a rigid investigation before U. S. Commissioner White. So determinated was Mr. Cisco
to have Mr Hunter convicted, that he actually
swore that he would not believe a witness under
oath who asserted that he (witness) forged the
cba ck8, and that tho signatures were, therefore, not
Mr. Hunter's ! and yet during the examination a
forged signature of Mr. Cisco's own was handed
him, and be swore that tt was genuine. But it is
needless to (ollow the details. Mr. Hunter waa
triumphantly acquitted, tbe Commissioner and'District-Attorney and all, earnestly endorsing his innocence. The conduct ot Mr. Cisco has excited
strange rumors, to the effect that his mind has become morbidly affected by close application to business. Chase's interminable greenbacks, with hia
five-twenties,^ten-forties, fire per cents, coupons,
treasury notes, <fcc _c , are enough to set auy man
crazy. If Mr. Cisco is not insane yet, be will stand
a good chance to be before he is done with them.—

The Manner in which Sanitary Fairs are Sometimes Conducted— Partizan Malignity.—Tbe
Aurora (N. T.) Times, of May 27tb, has the follow-
in :
The Fair and Ball for tbe benefit of the Sanitary Commission are over, and we can now refer
to a display of partizan bigotry and intolerance
in connection witb tbe movement, witbont injuring what we conceive to be a good cause. Certain
parties took bold of tbe affair, and managed to
worm themselves into leading positions, whose
narrow minds, warped by sectional jealousy aod
political prejudice, totally unfitted tbem to perfom
tbe duties io a proper manner. We early saw this
feeling manifested, bnt aaid nothing, giving tbe
use of onr pen and columns freely tn aid of tbe
worthy object. The meetings were characterized
by a partizan character, the speeches were Abolition stamp harangues. Mean, sneaking andoow-
arly slurs were also cast at Democrats, whether in
favor of peace or war, it mattered not. "Rebels,"
"traitors," "Copperheads,'"the rebellion," "Abe
Line61n,*",war" and "vengeance," were tbe burden of their song. Peace, mercy and charity bave
oo voice amoog tbem. Even the minister of the
Gospel, whose Christian Bible teaches men to forgive—av, to pray for tbeir enemies—like a blatant demagogue, forgetful of fats holy flailing,
wonld coDsigo to tbe lowest pits of eternal damnation all wbo differ with him In opinion. Democrats were pronounced "rebels" tbeir money wasi ot
wanted there." At the entrance to tbe Fair room,
we are informed, was placarded—"No Admittance
to Copperheads.'' Thus tbe affair was managed,
at a saviog to'Copperheads" and a loss tothe
Sanitary Fund of not less than $1,000. We bave
seeo Fairs ol ibis character belore, but never one
oooducted w'Hb r-o much intolerance, prejudice,
and bitterness toward political opponents.
