Threading Northern journals freely admit the inefficiency of Lincoln's Blofckade, that it is mockery. a delusiou and & share," nod that it has become a laughing stock to tho Europan" power?, as- well as to all the priva teers on tho-.Southern coasts. Every day af ford* new evidence of the total inefficiency of the Blockade. The coasts of South Carolina aro described as perfectly easy of ingress and egree?, and advices from Ilnvannah and IIol i lax constantly announce the arival of vessels loaded with cargoes from the various Southern ports. Privateers are constantly running tho Blockade in the absence or in tho teeth of the enemy vessels of war, praying upon his com inerce, nnd theh again returning with their prifces into port. The number of privateers uk urn, win mi ivseudemonstrate me ineniciency of the blockade. At least fifty of the enemy vessels have been captured and many of these prizes have been sold in Southern porta. On ' the other hand only two of the privateers have ! been captured, and only a few of their prizes j have been taken. Our privateers roam the seas without let or hiudrance; they have al ready been seeen on the extreme coasts of South America and seem bound to cruisc all over the world. The total inefficiency of the Blockade, has given just reason to the Lincoln Government to Tear the specdly intervention of the Euro pen powers, and various indications point to euch a result. It is said that Lord Lyons and the French minister have joined in a remon strance on the subject; whilst the military pre parations in Canada, the presence of a large fleet on our coast,*the tone of the foreign jour nals, and the current remor all foreshadow the end.?the recognition of the Southern Con federacy, and the termination of the Blockade. Such a result the North is beginiug to realiw, and is heneo assuming a very belligerent atti tude towards tho foreign powers. Foreign in tervention will almost inevitably produce a war with France and England; and i\\ that event wc will have lust of mn.-rrutnU lion, whatever may be the selfish motives prompting ta foreign interference, COL.

The earnest meaiures of the administration to (liis en<l havo already pro duced here Uie most happy efTeot, and affords reassurance of the snfety of tlio capital depend ing. <>u the patriotic responses of the.North. Rumors aro afloat that the rebels have n Rchemo on foot to ntt&ck Washington by ft Hank movement* the design being to use a large force?which, it appears, has been coocentra- I ted for a long tinio in Maryland?to cut off ^ the connection by railroad and- land between ; Baltimore and Philadelphia, while Uens, Bcuuregatd and Johnson advance on Washing-! ton from tho Virginian side. The movement of thersbels on the Maryland thcro is iutended to be accomplished hy the trans port of troopa on launches and flat?, a large number of which have, been concentra ted in the vicinity of Aci^uia creek, despite the boasted watchfulness of the Potomac flotilla. It has also been discovered that several foxmi dablo batteries have been constructed by the rebels not only on the shores of Acquia and Potomac Qreifcs, but on the Maryland side of the river, at Mineral Point. The New Yoilc Uerald is iy great trepidation, and snyp; T'?e ontlioritiea at Washiegton arc again in a state of alarm, i'or the second tim,e since the opening of the present war danger threatens the safety of Washington. Tho proclamation just i&iued from tlie War Department to ihe Governors of ten Northecn States, calling for the immediate forwarding of all troops enlis ted or accepted in their several States?wheth er regiments battalions, armed or unarmed?to the national capital, is of itself evidence that they have ascertained enough of the move ments of Jt'ff. Davis' army to create anxiety in regard to the safety of Washington almost equal to that which existed foor months ago. Tho rebels have concentrated a large force near the Potomac, and are still auirmnntm numbers in that vicinity, with the idea of cross ing over into Maryland, arousing tlie disaffec ted in Baltimore, threatening the capital in tho rear by cutting off reinforcementp, while their main army attacks the city, and thus bring a bout the final etrugglo for the occupancy of the city of Washington. We are unquestionably on the eve of any important battle?on mere skirmish?but an engagement between the main bodies of the Union and the so called Confederate armies, at a no;qt where the result is of the most mo mentous ooasevuenco. , We. repeat it: the signs of the times indicate an early and decisive engagement.

The Treasury Notks.?The Charleston Mcr cnr>/, of Saturday, says: ?"' 'We learn that the treasury notes of the Con federote States, to n large amount, were re ceived in this city a few days ago, with a view of putting them into immediate circulation. The nole3 are of the denomination of $5, $10, $50, and $1?)0. The mechanical execution of the notes, however, was found to be so indiffer ent, that our experienced bank officers at onC? decided that, to circulate them wou'd be to of fer a chance to the clever forgers of Yankee dom, of which they would not be slow to avail themselves. After some consultation, it was determined that it would be best thaj, our city banks should receive the notes and retain thorn in their vaults until they can be exchanged f<r notes less liable to imitation, and more worthy the dignity of the Southern Government. In the meantime, to-prevent any embarrassment the banks will, we understand, issue the;r own notes to the amount required. We linve not seen any of the objectionable specimens of the treasury notes, butswe hear that they are merely lithographed, and Hi design and finish pre sent few olstaules iu th'e way of any skillful .forger. We believe that the views of our Charleston bank ofiicers on this subject nrc fully concurred in by the banks of Richmond.* ff ? ARRIVAL OF A CHARLESTON BLOCKADER.

We have made euoagh wool to clothe half the Confederate States. Wo shall mnke fully five hundred thousand bales of cotton with present prospects, and we shall make, uulosstlic crop ia injured, far mora tliun it appcurs to al present, from eight to ten thousand hogsheads of sugar, and quite likely twelve thousand. Texas is in as good a con dition as any country need be. The Confederate War Tax Bill. wo publieli?<l yesterday, full details of this bill, And mentioned the fact that it had been passed by the unanimous vote of Congress. The circumstance of this unanimity affords another evidence of the patriotic disposition of Congress, aa we understand that there was con siderable opposition to the bill ogKthe part of members until the necessity of its pnssag? be came evident, when the minority determined t? yiold their views and to give the bill a pa triotic support on the deGnite conclusion of its becoming a law. The estimates of the amount of revenue that una dui iu calculated to yield are various. "Wo learn thai the Finance Committee), after ma ture cstiniatesof its provisions, wereof opinion that it would yield thirteen millions af dollars. Mr. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury, thinks that it will afford a considerably larger revenue ; while estimates of members made in the course of the debate were as low as ten millions. The estimate of the Finance Com mittee, us a medium between extremes and aa the result of deliberate aud mature considera tion, may probably be accepted as correct, or us nearly so as it is possible to be. The calculationof the taxable values in the bill is, of course, subject to a wide margin, as these values ure to be taken as existing on the 1st of October next, and as 'marketable, valuo being thus subject to all the depreciations of ccrtain values mid certain amounts, too, value, from the operations bf the bill, complicate the calculation which, at best, cannot be made oa any positive basis. \Ve learn that the object of Congress, iu providing fortius redemption of the Govern ment issues at a date after the conclusion of peace, is lo eccuic, in the revival of trade and commerce, consequent upon peace, a revenue adequate to meet the demands of its floating debt. In the meantime?, it is to be observed that the revenue accoring from the war tax is ap plicable not only to the interest of the public debt ank the ordinary expenditures, but is to be used in praying off such portions of the principal of the debt as may be possible and convenient in.the discretion of ihe Secretary of the Treasury. This application of the revenue is in consequence of a distinct pledge made by Congress in the May loin bill, which pledge it was bound to protect, in justice to the loans negotiated under it' The present issue is to replaco the thirty millions negotiated under the act of iUny 10, for which bonds-were issued with the provision then made of Ja tax of ten millions, to be !e7Jed within th'e present cal endar y*enr, to'provide for- the ultimate re demption of the debt.?Hichiitoml Examiner.
