When last I travelied (iis way the train was filled ‘with office seeke’s. At the villages dlenig the roa the towna the flag of the United “tates i available points in wild profusion, toers get in at every station, On steam ferryboat at Philadte!phia, I ober @f the gaioon a wood hatchet hanging uj, on whieh was Maser ibod , “State Rights fire axe.’ U:lor passengers ob: @erved it and smiled. There is les eariestness and Banoor, or more good nature, in the North fan in the South. The owner of an axe fascribed ‘Federal Union Axe’ im an Ala ‘Dama or Missigsipy i steamer would have % manraw quar @heure; or, a8 it is called here, +a preity hard time 6! it.” But as the carriagos approached Baltimore the signs that war was in the land, and that we were in an coe eountry, thickened, and evineed most forcibly of a immense magniti:de of the change which has ‘taken Since first journeyed towarcs the capital.

The influence of the dark faces hich show that Amore is in a slavcholding State begins to be manifest- ed, The political predilection is dytermined by that in- redient of color. I take up my Balumodre paper of the y as Tam crossing tothe Washington terminus of oie @t those horrid street railway cars, (May I bog of you, arontheticaly, to save us from that train in our streets? Ail comfort and speed will go forcver, and the thorough. will no longer be endurble.) First, I read & bad practice, not to say ‘an unusual one im civilized war, which is said, with circumstance, to exist in the South, and am informed of a gallant oficer ‘whose troop ‘‘scalped”” twenty-three federalists in a re- ent action.

But, as we now flog our jittie criminals, perhaps Baltimore may be rent in soenie. its “darkeys’’ in the nude wherever it pleases. The streets of the city are guarded at the cor- Bors, near the main avenues, by pickets of soldiers, and ‘the houses are militarily held at the angles. The inuabi tants don't look cheerful, and in Pratt strect there are ‘still the marks of balls on wall and window pane. ‘They ‘won't try a ight again as jong as the soldiers is here,” ‘said the driver of the train to me. COMING NEAR BALTIMORE —SCENES AROUND THE CAMY. From Baltimore to Wasbington the camps increased in umber, and as the unfinished dome of the Capitol came & view, and the spires and domes of churches an! public Buildings rose on the wooded shores above the Potomac, ‘tho rays of the sett’ng sun lighted up the eaivass cities, whose denizens were keeping watch and ward over the Seat of the United states government; and from the dark Aighlands across the river, on he soil of Virgivia, other ‘encampments cropped out from the dense green; and on I sites floated the Stars and Stripes, visible even distance on land whence their expulsion was p.omised ‘Yong ago to the faithful Ihave heard the messaze ri have visited some camps and heard of some movements soon to take place, but of all these matters there is no Sime now tos; ,a8 the mail is about toclose for the Boston steamer, and I must defer the rest of my let- ter till the next despatch of mails from Washington.

It will be remarked tat, more than fi months ago, Mr. Lincoln issued a proclunation declaring a biockade of all the American coast extending fiom the mouth of the Potomac to the Rio Grande del Norte, Whether this blockade has been efficiently maiutained, mot along this immense line, stretching at least two thousand miles, bit at the entrauce of any singe viver ‘or port, is highiy questionable. It is well kuown chat the biockade of Charleston—the very origin and, until lately, the headquarters of the secession moveme was at one time virtually raised by the removal of the fe- squadron further south. While Me. Lincoln as ined from comm is- depredated with success upon ‘1 h have ventured too near the shore.” This is the state- ment of Commodore Stringham, the commander of the federal blockading squadren. In this state of things tho British Admiral on the North Amor! tion has most properly taken steps to protect British commerce on the coasts which, on the one hand, are subject to the feceral blockade, and on the other are the scene of the operations of the Southern privateers, A letter from Fort. Picke tates that a British frigate has arrived there from * Havana, The officer in command makes n mission. “It is,” he says, ‘to sce that the rig] lish commerce are protected, aad that the blockace must be such as will prevent the entrance or departure of any craft to or from any har bor of the South, coaster, ocean trader or tener.” The writer then adds, by way of com- mentary, ‘‘ the Treaty of Paris has not laid down any roles by which we may know what js and what is not an effective blockate.”” The declaration of the Treaty of Paris concerning the blockade, to which neither Mr. Buchanan nor Mr. Marcy ofivred tho htest objection, in the following words Blockades, in oraer to be bind- ing, must be effective; that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient really to prevent aceexs to the coast of the enemy.” This declaration, ju truth, does nothing more than confirm arule of public law Whieh has long been enforced by the Admiralty Courts of England and ce United States. Its object was to protest against those ja. por blockades which, in violation of public law, were, at an early period of this century, resorted to by this co: try in retaliation for the Milan and Borlin decrees of the then French Emperor. This point can be easily proved Dy ashort quotation from the ‘ision of Lord &\ the case of the Stert:—“The very notion of a complete blockade includes that the besieging force can apply 13 power to every point of the blockaded State, Ii it can- ‘not, it is no blockade at that point where its power can- not be brought to bear.’”” The instructions which Admt- fal Milne is stated to have given to the officer in command of the frigate are strictly in accordance with the rule laid down by Stowell. No port is to be cm: shdered fh intly Uockaded if any veel can enter or depart from it union bo, or in spite of, the blockading squadron. Kext, an efficient blockade necessitates the coinplete cut: ting off of vil maritime ingress or egress: and lastly, the escape of the third vesse! from the ading squadron Signolizes: the invalidity of the blockade. It may be doubted whether so discroct an officer as Admiral Milue would have written in detail instructions which certaivly bear the aspect of arargumentative legai opinion, or (hat (he officer in command of the frigate would bave been guilty of the folly of communicating those in te the individual who directs his letter fr Pickens. But if this information be only ’ correct, it is clearly the duty of the Bri'sh Ad miral to protect British commerce from all uni.wiul torference, and for this pirpose.to see that the. biockadty ‘is efficiently enforced. Considering (be vast jount of foreign commerce which may be uttoriy ruined by (he as- section of belligerents rights which caunot be practically enforced along a line of coast ext ig from Virginia to Texas, (he federal authorities, formerly go jealous en the subject of visitation and search, ought to be extremely -onreftl before they resort to tho system of paper bivc! which will only irritate and auney the commerce of 5 th notify the fact of w 8 & NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, A FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Boston Post, in its eta review, Wepyespay, August 7—6 P. M. sore is nothing new in the money market, and HO trausactions of any consequence are reported. | The new financial measures of the government are earnestly discussed, but no one seems to under- stand them thoroughly. There appears to be a | general apprehension that, unless fortune favors avery marked and persistent manner, » government will find difficulty in orrowing ney under the $250,060,000 Loan e The tariff is | generally accepted asan unplessant necessity, like income tax. Importers giumble loudly, and predict that the foreign trade of this country has ved a fatal blow; but their views are of course | deeply colored by their private interest. The bids for the Ohio Stute loan were opened to-day, but the State agent was not prepared to state their amount or rate, trom which it may be imferred that the negotiation was a fuilure, These Western our States—tike the general government—are so mightily afraid of being shaved by Wall street that they prefer doing without money to borrowing at a discount, They wowld laugh at a man who yesolyed that he would not under any ‘cumstances — give over fifty cents a bushel for wheat, or twenty-live cents a bushel for corn; Dut they consider it quite proper to déseot their agents not to give over seven per cent for money. Nothing but hard experience will teach these people the inexorable laws of (rade, Nothing was done in foreign exchange to-day. The market promises to open steadity for the Saturday sieumers, Stocks were better to-day, having been lower yesterday. There was quite a demand for South- ern State stocks, which appears to come from Southern sources, It seems that citizens of the rebel States, seeing nothing of Northern or foreign papers, are still persuaded that England and France are about to recegnise them, in which event slave State stocks would probably be good property, as their war bonds would be assumed by the Confederate government. Hence a demand for these State stocks, under which Virginias rose this morning 144 per cent, North Carolinas 4 per cent, Méssouris 5%, and Tenuessees 1, In the present uncertain character of the war the public caynot be advised to buy any of these stocks, The priuci- pal interest of these Statee—slavery—is in a most, precarious position; if anything bappens to the institution, the States will be puzzled to meet their interest. The most active among the railway shares was Rock Island, which was bought on speculation by a leading operator, and advanced \% per cent in consequence, causing Galena and says:— Money is sbandant at five to six per cent on the best names and securitics, But acceptable paper, of course, is very scare, since little has been made in the lagt half year, and the demand for money from aaybody able to borrow is execedingly light. ‘The banks are rather gain- ing in specie, and their accumulatéons i New York are decidedly increasing.

As it is we hope for afair trade; but it may be that the West is so much cramped, one Way or the other, that she will be forced to wait tll another season ere she purchases in quantity, The Philadelphia Bulletin of yesterday after- noon reports of the stock and money markets in that city as follows:— Stocks continue remarkably quiet, and the fluctuations in prices from day to day are of comparatively lite im- portance, No essential change from this sta can rewsonably be expected until there is 8° news from the seat of war, when the figures, for Reading Railroad and the fancies genera'ly vance or recede, according to the success of the Union forces, ‘There is a limited investment demand for State but city loans being offered move freely, are new jasues selling at 96, and the old at 88.
