The recent publication in pampMet form of tw6, spaeches and a letter of Mr. Blair, with the title, “Comments on the Policy Inaugurated by the President,” bears out the assertion of Philtips, who, fierce and violent as he is, some- times: lets out some wholesome truths. We cannot, however, endorse his opinion that the Postmaster General is the greastest liar in the world. Mr. Blair isof moderate abilities, and is a very good kind of man. He is equally right sad wrong on the slavery question. He is right when he asserts the natural aversion of the white man everywhere to permit the equality and fraternity of negzoes. He is right when he asserts the natural inferiority of the black race. He truly says that a policy seeking to establish political and social equality would prove an impessibility; and this is the opinion of the But when he proposes to deport the black population from the btountry he is grievously mistaken.

The movement to organize a conservative party, ia Opposition alike to radical republicanism and copperhead democracy, is daily growing in importance. The pre- liminary meeting of the democratic national commitices soon to take place im thd West, recently mentioned in this correspondence, is only a part of the programme, Another coneultation is expected to be held within a fow days, either in New York or at Newport, in which it is expected that Mr. Fillmore, Washington Huat and Thurlow Weed, will participate, The aspect of our do- mestio and foreign affairs causes great uneasiness to the Jeading conservative men of all parties, and a determina- tion is manifested to perfect an organigation which will be sufficiently powerful to control the conduct of the government berexfter. Tho meetings alluded to are simply for deliberation, but there are abundant manifes- tations that prominent men of all of the parties of 1860 will be brought together in the new organization about to be made. THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK. Captain Maynadior, who has charge of the enrolment lets under the Conscription act, desires to correct the information furnished by Judge Advocate General Water- bury, in yesterday's Henauo, in relation to the draft in New York, and bis visit to thia city in connection there with. It was with Captain Maynadior. and not the Pro vost Marshal General, that the discussion in regard to the enrolment lists took place. It was not admitted that the enrolment appeared to be excessive in New York city, or that all or any considerable portion of the names had been twice enrolied—once at their residences and again at their Places of labor. On the contrary, great care hos been taken to prevent this, the Assistant Provost Marshals in that city having been in constant communication with each other, and the lists of the diffe. rent districts compared as far as practicable. In tho Fourth district, in which thirty thousand names were en- rolle1, Judge Waterbury claimed that not over five hun- dred votes were cast. The Provost Marshal for that dis trict examined the lists very carefully, and scratched off some seven bundred names of persons doing business in but not resining within the district. The state enrolment under Provost Marshal Anthon gave thirty-cight thousand as the number in that district liable to draft, eight thousand more than the jast enrolment; and Judge Waterbury, upon ap-examination of the rolls, was unable fo point out @ single name as known by him to be a non-resident of the district. The other rolls he did not examine at all. ‘While it is of course to be expected. that some namos should be twice eurolied ina targe city like New York: Captain Mynodier is confident’ that the work has becau fairly, carefully and in the maim aceurately performed. A person drafted in a district in which be dovs not reside \has only to show this fact toexempt htm from service @ander such conscription. THE DRAFT IN THR DISTRIOF OF COLUMBIA. The draft will certainly commence in this city on Mon- day morning next. It will take several days to each ward, commencing with the First. In order to show fair- vess and impartiality, a biiod man haw been selected by Captain Sheetz to draw the ticketecoutaining the names of the lucky candidates from the box. Prominent ameng those who havo sought to evade the Consoription ses here are government clerks. The returns madeto Captain Sheetz will show that in several instances employes of the government have pleaded alienage in erder to avoid the draft. These same persons havo heretofore been loud in their denunciation of those who, in) goo! faith, teok ex- ception to certain acts of the administration in the ocon- duct of the present war against the rebellion. THES GERVION ON BOARD THE MONITORE-OFP CRARLES- TON. Thé service of officers.and men on board the @fonitors in Charleston harbor has been found very severe upon them, in conseyuenceof the very limited ascominodations and difficulty of venttatidén while prepared for action. The Navy Department: ts about to deopatch a» large steamer with reinforcements for the crews of the Monitors, and relieve them by changing the men employ. @d-upon them at intervals, allowing them a time for rest on board this steamer while. fresh men tale their places. CAPTURE AND DESTRUCTION OF BLOCKAD@ RUNNERS, The United States steam sloop Oasipee captured on the 20th inst, the James Battle and Wm: Bagley, loaded with cotton, blockade runners, from Mobile. The United States steamer Sctota, off the coast of Texas on the 7th inst., chased two small vessels, both of which ran ashore and were burned by our men, there being no meacs of saving them. Their cargoes conststed of cotton. On the Thursday following, while passing Corpus Christi, two vessels were discovered at anchor behind Mustang Island, apparently loaded. with cotton, and awaiting av opportunity to esoape the bleckade. A rifle twenty pounder was fired at them, when both got under weigh and stood up the bay about six miles, where they grounded. b> . An expedition in charge of Lieutenant Davenport was at once sent across the tsland to capture thom if possible, and if they could not be saved to destroy them by fire, which was done after an unsuccessful attempt to float them. White returning Lieutenant Davenport accident- ally shot himself with « rifle ball, the ball passing through the right leg below the knee: and his left arm above the elbow. IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS. Acting{Attorney General Coffey has given an opinion, in response to an inquiry of the Secretary of State that Persons despatching American vessels from our own Ports in ballast to neutral ports, and thea to rum the Diockade, are liablo to punishment as criminals under the second séction of the act of 17th July, 1862, chapter oue hundred and ninety-five, “to suppress insurrection,” &c., whether such vessels actually run the block, or after leaving the neutral port are captured in the attempt to run the blockade, or whether they even fail to reach the Deuteal port. Such vessels are liabie to capture as prizes of war from the moment they leave our own port, and this guilty errand, irrespective of the point they may reach of the voyage, amounts to assisting the rebellion within the statute. .
