            BLOCKADE OF APALACHICOLA—The steamer Jackson, Capt. Fry, arrived yesterday morning from Apalachicola.  She reports that the United States steamship Montgomery arrived off that city, and had informed the proper authorities that that port was under blockade.  The captain of the Montgomery further informed them that two other U. S. war vessels would arrive off that port by Thursday, when she would depart.  It is necessary to make the blockade effectual—there being two passes which have to be guarded.

            A small, fast sailing vessel from Cuba was fortunate enough to get in just ahead of the Montgomery.  She was loaded with West India fruit, a portion of which the Jackson brought up.
