It will doubtless surprise many persons to be told that the seven Gulf, or Cotton States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, a Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, produced 45,187 more beef cattle than the six New England States, New York Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, alngether, but such is the fact, for the census o* 1850 tells us that these seven Cotton States produced . but 3,357,489 beef cattle, while the thirteen Northern States named produced but 3,312,327. A single glance at the live stock columns of the seventh census will prove to the in quirer that the slaveholding States produced i more beef cattle than the non-slaveholdine by 1,782,587. That while the North produced 3,541,121 cows, the South produced 3,829,810. That the Northern States produced 869,397 work oxen, against 820,340 produced by the Southern States. That while the North produced 2,310,961 horses and mules, the South produced 259,358 more, for the Southern production was 2,870,320. The Blockade. At present there are two steamers off this bar?the Minnesota, Commodore Stringham, and another, name unknown, apparently a ship about 600 or 700 tons, and of light draught, as she appears to roll very much. She could be captured by a couple of ordinary steamers, if the latter were well manned and armed. Yesterday Mr. C. O Witte, consul at this port for Sweden and Norway, visited the Minnesota to inquire if the Norwegian bark Admiral Peter Ford enskjuld, now in this harbor, and which vessel arrived here after the steamship Ni agra had been off this port, and while the entrance to the harbor was unobstructed, could load for a place in Europe, and he was informed that the bark wuuld not be allowed to leave the port with a cargo, and she could only be permitted to depart in ballasr, and the commodore observed that he was stretchiug orders to permit that much. The officers made inquiry about the sta.e of feeling here; if any action Lad ta ken place in Yirgioia since the occupation of Alexandria : spoke of Ellsworth's death, and wanted to know the price of provisions in Charleston?acted friendly?appeared to regret their position in reference to the seceding States, and hoped the difficulties of the country would soon be settled. The schooner seen near the steamers yesterday forenoon was one that they had brought to, and ordered off. Her name we could not learn. They expect an addition to ther number in a few days, when the port will be completely closed. The ships have a supply of provisions and water for thirty days, at which time they expect to be replenished, or have other ships take their place. The Minnesota draws 24 feet aft and 22 forward, and is entirely unable to keep small vessels out. The steamer Gen. Clinch, from Santee, was chased by her yesterday after-1 noon, but the captain kept in shoal water and the ship could not approach his steamer. A small British schooner now here, is expected to leave this port to day, or to morrow with a cargo for the Bahamas, and it will be a matter of interest to see if Commodore Stringham will stop her and send her back to port. The commodore inquired if the British ship A <f* A had been allowed to leave, and appeared to be surprised that she had been allowed to go. It will be remembered that the A tfc A got into port while the Niagara was off here.? Qharleston Mercury. The Lincoln Blockade.?The British Schooner Eliza and Catherine, Capt. Kelly, left the dock ou Friday, for the Bahamas, with a carge of rice, lumber, &c. x After crossing the bar and getting above a mile past the Lincoln steamship Minnesota, she was brought to by a shot from the Minnesota, strikiug within twenty-five or thirty feet ahi au. Capt Kelly was called ? i j \t: v.;.. lO Ko uu uuaru me luiuueoum, i-auiuu uic papers, and received many threats uS.-seizure. He was told it was an act of mercy ami condescension that the shot was not forced into -bio d?d Lull.* His papers were txamined and endorsed with a uoti'v of the deteution and blockade, signed by 'A Ludlow Case, Fleet Captain.' Capt. Kelly was ordered back to Charleston, with the gracious privilege of awaiting the removal of the blockade, or to discharge cargo, take ballast, and depart wi'v in four lays. ? Charleston Courier. Gen Butler Mr. Yost, the editor of the Staunton Vindicator, who attended the Charleston Democratic Convention, where he met Gen. Butler, who was a delegate to that body from Massachusetts, gives the following account of him : 4A more craven-hearted coward never walked the earth. With the most revolting countenance ever worn by man, he is the impersonation of a horse thief or land pirate. Without a particle of courage or honor, be is endeavoring to ape the man of war. Driven with brickbats and sticks back from his passage with his regiment through Baltimore by unarmed citizens, he has recently signalized his cowardiee by offering insult and contumely to the people of that city, when their hands were tied ? We have seen the miserable creature snubbed, spit upon and insulted beyond endurance to a gentlemen, with no other response than fear and trembling poltroonery. During the sessions of the Charleston Con. vention be was bought with a price, and ? Uy.- ??1Ia/] n/tAAnnf Kn mil nr? Qnil tK WUt'U CeillCU tu avwuug %jj jvuu^ ^ujh.j of California for gome Yankee trick, he begged like a whipped spaniel, and cowered before the gaze of a brave and honest man The man, in fact, is a brute. He look* like one?acts like one. For such a crea I tureto talk of conquering the South ! Foi such a miserable poltroon to threaten t< invade Virginia!' And again : 'Gen. Butler says that his face is South ward, and that he won't take a step back wards. That is very likely. Walkinj backwards would be too slow a business fo him. But when he smells powder he wil turn his face North and make tracks for ward very rapidly ! We know the wiscra blc braggart and poltroon.' Texas Horsemen.?Among the Texa troops here are some of the best borsetoci in the world who. as guerilla soldiers would be inv^luaoic. There are Iridic fighters from Texas, who, at full speed, cai raise au infantry soldier from the ground scalp him, and throw him away withou arrcsiing toe iash of the horse. A bod of th -se wairiors < * the borders of O and Peon>)lva?ia would be invaluable? Richmond Dityatch. Goodashia Word The Petersburg Express of the 28th ult. says : The killing of Ellsworth by James W, Jackson, Esq., of Alexandria, has elicited the universal approval of every patriot in the South. It seems that the Confederate flag, which had been kept flying from the top of the Marshall House for some time past, had attracted the attention of? the Washington officials,where it could be very distinctly seen with the aid of an eye-glass. Not long since, a visitor at the White House called Old Abe's attention to the Secession flag, and Lincoln remarked that it would not fl^ there much longer. These facts were communicated to Mr. Jackson, and some of his friends advised him to take it down but he resolutely persisted in keeping it flying. A gentleman now in Petersburg, dined with Mr. Jackson at the Marshall House last Tuesday, this day one week ago, and, among other topics of discussion, introduced at the dinner table was the secession flag. Mr. Jackson, remarked durios the conversation, that he did not desire the blood of any human being on his hands, but he had determined to kill the man that dared to removed that flag.? He had heard the objection to it in Washington, but, said he, the individual that attempts to remove it, will do so at his per. il. Whether it bo Wiufield Scott, Abra ham Lincoln or Simon Cameron, I will kill him the moment he lays his violent hands upon it. He kept his word, and it is a matter of gratulation with the South that the infamous Ellsworth was the man who forfeired his life in attempting to interfere with the private property of a gentlemaa. Telegraphic Dispatohes. Washington, May 31.?A new T)is trict, to b<* called the Department of Kentucky, Las been formed, Col. Anderson commanding.

Louisville, May 31.?It is rumored that Anderson will come officially, but alone, and will probably aid the endeavor to swear in the Home Guard, or accustoming Kentuckians to the eight of Federal buttons, and gradually bring the State into the condition of Missouri. A copy of the New York Times, received here by tp&il, contains a bitter article on the attitude of England and France. It says without circumlocution, that it is plain they will formally acknowledge the iude pendence of the Confederate States. Baltimore, June 1.?Two columbiads. en route from Pittsburg for Fort McHeury, were spiked in Baltimore. The damage was not discovered till they were mounted. Mobile, June 2.?The British 9teamer Gen.

Here she was fired at again, but after investigation she was allowed co proceed to Mobile, the captain of the Mira mou agreeing to come out within a reasonable time after getting supplies. By the Ears. The following, from the New York ILr aid, 6hows a delightful state of harmony ii the New York editorial camp : MassaGreeley in a Rage.?The Hon Massa Greeley, though a small beer phi ianthropist, is a monstrous big liar wher the truth is against him. We say big liar because the qualification of this charge it dainty phraseology with Greeley would b< like "casting pearls before swine." In hold ing up before the world the identity of hi: views for weeks and months on the ques tion of secession, and the views of Rhet and Yancey, we have pinned our abolitiot contemporary to the wall. He wriggle: and twists like an ugly worm on a bodkin bur there nr.- philosophers who, even in ihi: position, wuuid stick to the truth. N s< with Philosopher Greeley lie flies .jt< a rage, against the Herald, the Heralded .tor and the Herald office, he hangs a strinj of falsehoods together like a string of onion: upon a wisp ot straw. Having changet from a legal advocate of secession into ; military defender of the Union, Massi Greeley is hot upon the trail for traitors ? He would like to find one, and gloat ove him, in the midst of a riotous mob, like th' Chevalier Webb. But when justice get her dues?when the chief offenders in thi work of bringing upon the country this civi war shall be punished?such abolition anc disunion agitators of the last twenty year as Greeley, Garrison, aud Giddings will bi among the list of traitors hung up like her rings to dry in the sun. Greeley, particu j larly, has been a great sinner, and witha a very dirty one. Let him be washed, o let him retire. Fiendish Outrage.?The Baltimor South, in its news from Fortress Monroe has the following account of the perpetra tion of a fiendish outrage by Lincoln' wretches. Such outrages will nerve th arm and steel the heart of the Southeri men who are on their way to meet the dev ! ils, and "no quarter" will be the uiotto: I "Great excitement has been produced a Old Point by an outrage perpetrated b ? government soldiers on Saturday last. I (appears that a party of them had goue to ri gentleman's house near by, and assaulted young lady some sixteen years of age, wit j the design to outrage her person. II<: ! father, an aged man, came to her assistance | when these fiends seized him, and thrcatei "Jed his life if he raised an alarm; and wit | a revolver pointed at his head, he was force r to witness the consummation of their vi 11 lainous purpose upon the person of his chili - Gen.

A correspondent in Camden informs us ( that a music teacher, named Device, who '< has been in that town six years, has been 1 detected in traitorous correspondence. His t letters have been examined and furnish a- < bundant evidence of his guilt, such as plans for sacking the town, stating *hat the town < was in a defenceless condition, and that it was in a sta;t- of starvation. The fact was discovered by the postmasiter, whose suspicions were aroused by the extent of the northern correspondence of the accused, when au examination by proper 1 authorities clearly proved his guilt. It is i stated that Judge Withers prouounced it a < clear case of treason. 1 It behooves all, at the present juncture, ' to be vigilant.?

Editors of Yorkville Enquirer: 1 Believing that Chester, its doings and i sayings, are entirely too important to i go unchronicled, your friend "Damon" < once more resumes his pen to enlighten 1 and edify the readers of the Enquirer. ] The brave "boys" from York passed 1 through our town on yesterday morning en route for their Head Quarters at Or- ! angeburg, to rendezvous, as I learn, ] preparatory to their departure for the seat of war in the Old Dominion. The . sorrow of parting with mothers, wives, < and sweethearts seemed to have subsi. ded during the hour which brought them 1 from York to Chester, and with high 1 hopes of a victorious march upon the ] enemy and a triumphant return to the * ; homes they had left, they took leave of : the hundreds who had assembled at our ; Depot to do them honor. The Goths ' and Vandals of the Lincoln despotism 1 , will, doubtless, fall before them like . noxious weeds before the mower's < scythe, should a conflict occur. With . a hearty prayer for their speedy, safe, and valorous return, we bade them adieu. j I am happy to say that the wheat crop | in this District is remarkably fine, and is now almost secure from the casualties to which wheat crops are incident.?

HOWELL COBB, President of the Congress. Approved May 13,1661. JEFF. DAVIS. rPIIE "PORTFOLIO."?AT THIS JL particular time, when wo have severed every political tle^whlch bound us in vassalage to an arrogant and oppressive North ; when we have plucked our stars from the hateful and contaminating atmosphere of fanaticism, and placed theui In the clear blue of our own .Southern sky, that they may sblne encircled with a halo of truth, adorning our own bright sunny land with their glorious lustre; when we have erected a new Republic, declared our Independence to the world, it peculiarly becomes us as a people, to withdraw that patronage, hitherto so liberally bestowed upon those who have proven themselves our worst enemies, and extend a helping hand to those "to the manor born," who are true to our institutions, true to our principles, and to our native home; we should throw off all shackles that hold us In any wise dependent upon a section whose creed Is inimical to our dearest rights; and whose people we can no longer contemplate with the pure and holy love of brotherhood. The intelligence of a people is ever estimated by the character of their literature. We have Intellects which will pale before none! Authors, whose graceful pens drop inklets of gold, and strew shining pearls of thought. Let us, then, turn our faces from the North, and seek literature for old and young within our own borders?establish literary enterprises ol our own, and foster and maintain them. Believing that it Is the desire, nay intention, of our people to do this, we propose to establish a SOUTHERN JUVENILE PERIODICAL, ihand ereby 611 a vacuum, which has existed since the demise, years ago, of the sweet little "Rose Bud." We, therefore, confidently appeal to all to aid in establishing the enterprise upon a firm and substantial basis. Believing that we appeal not in vain, we shall at the first, or during the mouth of May, commence the issue of "THE PORTFOLIO," a monthly periodical, devoted to "Truth, Virtue and Temperance;" which shall not only become an agreeable and amusing companion for the young, but, by the observance of a high moral tone, seek to instruct .he rising mind, and teach the youthful heart. As far as we are able, we will make it interesting to all. Many of our most gifted writers, both of prose and verse, have kindly consented to assist in making THE PORTFO1 L10 rich with sparkling gems?the Southern asphodels of thought. Ol' those who have thus vouchsafed their aid, we are permitted to name our esteemed poet-friend, JAMES WOOD DAVIDSON, Rev. C. P. GADSDEN, Rev. J. R. KENDR1CK, EDWIN HERRIOT, Dr. A. L. HAMMOND, B. 1).

JACOBUS, Mrs. MARY A. EWART, Mrs. C. LADD, Miss E. B. CHEESBOROUGH, and Miss CATHARINE G. rOYAS?a sisterhood ot raining tars! The columns of our paper will be enriched with , contributions from the chaste and elegant pens of Claude, , Carolina, Sigma, Juvenis, Freddie Frankfuloxc, Delta, PelI ham, if illie Light heart, Tom Lynn, Charlie Witdicood, i Louise Manhcim, Kate R. Moreland, Viola, Nellie, Toeoah, Stella and Maud ; thus combining a brilliant contributory , <tnff, whose merits have been recognized and justly appreciated. We will spare no pains to make THE PORTFOLIO the Juvenile paper of the South. It will be neatly printed in t clear type, upon fine book paper, quarto form, of good size; I and among its many attractions will contain a "Promenade," ' in which our fair friends are Invited to walk with us into ? every southern heart and home that Is open to us; a , "Joker's Budget," which shall unfold rare wltticiims ; a "Little Farmer," and "Dairy Maid's Apartment a "Floral Column," in which the prettiest (lowers will bud; to| getlier with a corner devoted to the "Brigade of Infantry," where our smallest friend can shine.
