Mobile Blockaded-subscription for Jackson's family. Mobile. May 27. --A U. S. war steamer commenced the blockade of our harbor yesterday morning. Fort Morgan welcomed the steamer by displaying the U. S. flag with Union down from the same staff with the Confederate flag, and under the latter. A subscription has been opened here for the benefit of the family of Jackson, the Alexandria landlord, who killed Ellsworth. The amount has reached a thousand dollars.

"Assassination" of Col. Flisworth, The following article on the just punishment visited upon that daring marauder, Ellsworth, we find in the New York Herald of the 25th. Is it not plain that blind fanaticism rules the hour in the North, and thers had time to subside a little, when the public mind receives another shock in the assassination of the gallant young Ellsworth, whom, though not born here, we were entitled, as a leader of one of our regiments, to claim as a citizen of New York. shall incur during this unhappy contest will cause more genuine tears of regret and sympathy to fall than that of poor Ellsworth. Intrepid, dashing and full of energy, he had all the instincts of the soldier, and he possessed, in addition, a personst us. Assassination, incendiarism and piracy are evidently the weapons on which they mean to rely. The murder of Colonel Ellsworth is of a place with the savage instincts which prompted the poisoning of the wells in Maryland and of the refreshmen

The New York Board of Brokers have presented a silver-mounted pistol to F. E. Brownell, for "avenging" the death of Col. Ellsworth. One of the biggest of the columbiads at Fort Monroe is bearing directly upon the house of ex- President Tyler. Wm. Angus, a printer, of the N. Y. Second Regiment, accidently shot and killed himself near Washington, on Monday. Mr. Charles J. Faulkner, our minister at Paris, had his final audience with the Emperor on the 13th. W. P.

give to the runaway negroes; sends them back to their owners, or harnesses them to carts at work in his fortifications, and treats them with liberal doses of the lash. No, no, abolitionism is no part of their purpose; they pray us to believe that much. We take them at their word; it is no part of their purpose. Their hue and cry against the South on that subject was all for Buncombe. Mrs. Harriet Stowe is no longer their prophet; nor Ward Beecher their brother of a prophet. Butler and Ellsworth and Billy Wilson, are their new divinities; Garrison, Phillips, and the John Browns, give out that they are not interested in this fight, which is not for the slave, but for trade. It is a war waged for precisely the objects which inspired the Tories in the Revolution; a war of subjugation; a war to perpetuate the exaction of tribute; a war against the right of self-government; a war intended to crush out all the attributes of nationality belonging of right to the colonies of the Sout

Col. Ellsworth engaged to be Married. --The New York Herald says: "Col.

rbor, (which vessel arrived here after the steamship Niagara had been off this port, and while the entrance to the harbor was unobstructed,) could load for a place in Europe, and the permission was refused, and he was informed that the Bark could only be allowed to depart in ballast, and even that much was perhaps more than orders justified. The officers made enquiry about the state of feeling here; if any action had taken place in Virginia since the occupation of Alexandria; spoke of Ellsworth's death, and wanted to know the price of provisions in Charleston. Their position in reference to the seceded States was regretted. They spoke friendly, and hoped the difficulties of the country would soon be settled. The ship A & A was spoken off, and some surprise apparently exhibited that she should have been allowed to depart. This vessel, it will be remembered, came into port while the Niagara was off here. The schooner seen near the steamer yesterday turns out to be a vessel

eir loved State. Captain Christian commands the Cavalry, Capt.--the Second Rifles. Our men are all anxious to see the soil of Virginia rid of the tramp of the despicable minions of Abe.--They desire to free "the land of the free and home of the brave" from such dishonor. We do not desire even to welcome them to hospitable graves upon our soil, alongside of the slumbering ashes of our sires and mighty dead. We prefer that they shall be embalmed in the abominable hole of Washington, a la Ellsworth. Much admiration is expressed among us for the character and spirit of the noble Jackson. We firmly believe that there are thousands of Jacksons in the South, who will sell their lives equally dear. We some what expect a sham attack upon our river, (Rappahannock,) but all seem to wish only a "trial of their pieces." The citizens of Middlesex, with their usual hospitality, are busy in attending to the soldiers, in the way of extras, some bringing lamb, some butter, &c., &c. To

onday afternoon that Mr. Geo. Moore, of the City Hotel, had taken steps to raise a fund, to be sent to Virginia for the relief of the widow and orphans of Mr. James W. Jackson, who lost his life in defence of his country's flag, after slaying Col. Ellsworth. I knew Mr. Jackson personally, and was a guest in his hotel only a few days since. In killing Ellsworth he only executed a purpose previously formed, to-wit: to defend with his life the flag which floated over his house. When I exEllsworth he only executed a purpose previously formed, to-wit: to defend with his life the flag which floated over his house. When I expressed a fear lest his flag might be taken down by the Federal forces who soon proposed to occupy Alexandria, he very quietly replied that it should never come down while he lived, and that he would kill the man who attempted it, though he was backed by all the Black Republicans in Washington. Jackson was a generous, fearless man, and deserves a monument. His widow and four children are in necessitous circumstances, and the fund proposed will not only be timely, but worthily bestowed. I

the society of their men, joining in all kinds of amusements and pastimes. It is needless to say that they are the idols of the camp. The accounts published in the Dispatch during this week in relation to affairs in that neighborhood, is strictly in accordance with the facts as known at headquarters. A splendid banner is hung up in the Express office at Manassas, the property of the Alexandria Riflemen, who are encamped there. This flag was the object of the strictest search by Ellsworth's fire-hounds; but it was saved from desecration by a patriotic lady, who took it from the staff and smuggled it down the street by the aid of crinoline, in the face of the enemy, and finally contrived to bring it safely concealed to the Confederate camp. Oh ! crinoline, thou art a jewel ! Notwithstanding the pressing times, visitors are beginning to come in, and congregating quite largely at the mountain resorts. Wonder how many Southerners will go to Niagara, Cape May, Newport, an

roops, even though commanded by a skillful officer, can avail but little if the opposing forces are not only superior as hand-to-hand fighters, but have the good fortune to engage in their favorite mode of combat. We have reason to believe that the regiments which have been selected to invade the soil of Virginia and are now at Alexandria, consist largely of ruffians skilled in the mode of warfare adapted to their vocation, and well armed with its appropriate weapons. Of such material is Ellsworth's regiment of Zouaves, a more suitable nom de guerre of which would be land pirates; and it is more than likely that Billy Wilson and his pack have been gratified in their eager desire to be among the foremost in the invasion. Now, though our riflemen could, at the distance of two hundred yards, pick out their eyes, yet it would be the aim of their chief officer in command, if he is a man of two ideas, to bring this part of his force, at an early moment, into close action; and while a reg
