NP, RD 6/4/1862

From the Richmond Dispatch
 
June 4, 1862
 
Glorious news!
   Another illustration of the inefficiency of the blockade has to be recorded. One hundred barrels of powder, just imported, reached here on the Macon train yesterday morning, and two car loads of small arms were left in Macon because of the inability of the engine to pull them. They will come on in due time, and will be sent where they can do good service. An additional proof that a Confederate port has been recently entered by some sea goer, is found in the fact that yesterday morning's mail contained a number of letters from our cousins across the water. Brave!--Columbus Times.
