The extracts which we make to-day from ,tbe British and French Journals are calculated to niake Confederates believe that the time for recognition has at length arrived, and' that 'it will soon be accomplished. The news of the Yankee i ' dusters below Richmond, and almost undet the fortifications at Washineton, had reached England and France, atfd filled all Europe with admiration for Southern valor on the field and Southern wisdom in! council. Never have any people oeiore, struggling. 'for their liberties, the Greeks not ekcepted, received more hearty or universal commendation from the press ot distant nations. E jrrpcan nations have : seen us disperse and whip from our borders, succes sively three Yankee armies, and cause the last one to seek shel ter u rider the fortifications of Washington. ! European patpcrs extol the valor which performed; these achievements, and some of them justly demand Recognition for the Confederacy, by their re&pective ..' governments. v jBnt the emancipation proclamation of Lincoln, the,' Fiend, and the hews of Leo V having recrossedthe Pi ; tojr ac, and the failure of the sympathy and aid look : sforirx Maryland had not crossed the Atlantic. Th .S'J will form new pleas for delay on the part ofy i governments, and give them color of excuse or the slow exercise of theic tardy usjice. Englafis 1rr .y an enlightened nation 'out as far as '.he practical Wo kings of the institution of slavery is concerned it 13 comparatively in barbariatlarkness. The preju-! - dices of the disciple piflihe Hall against slavery are as deep and inera-lu tbleas are those of the maddest fanatics of Boston. They were suckled at the same breast, educated at te same school, and constitute the same class of cantin g, heartless hypocrites, and incor rigible, avaricious bigots. The anti-slavery power 5 of England stand? about' in the same ratio to the pro slavery as the so.ne powers to each other in the Uni ted States or N rt hern despotism. Had'not slavery . per se stood in inc way of England and France, our recognition by t Iiose powers would have long since been acknowledged. Nor have their material inter ests been, nor will they ever be, sufficient to overcome tlicir 'prejudices against the South, solely, absolutely, separately ai.d distinctly ou this account. We do" not fsay that they would stand idly by and see our owu! women and children butchered ajnd exterminated by serjvile hands ; but next to their own safety an J pros perity iis nntiiin'tlo .t.lioy V.opo a o.l jmy or iw emancipation. . :' We make .these remarks simply to express our own opiniouoii jhe probability of immediate recognition. It will not take place until the reasonable permanency ' of the Confederate Gvernment has been established by the prowess of our om arms and the valor of our own troops. At best, it woiiM be worth but little without armed intervention or soniethipg else, from which jwe . could derive material aid. That is not looked for, and without it, bare recognition would gtve'us a habitatioti. , and a name among the nations of the earth nothing - -inore. To obUin)it,we roust Jight our own battles,which, . trusting in God, wo areaJTe to do. Of course, it is . highly gratifying, to reiul iu British and French jour- ' nals, the hish opinion Entertained and expressed for the valor of our troopsthe skill of our Generals and the wisdom of our Couo'cils. We are grateful for the' sympathy they expres's and the appeals they make, in our behalf, for immediate recognition, and we hope to convince tlicni we are worthy of it 'all. But our trials are orijy beginning, and it will be,the part of wisdpni to rely solely on the God of battles, whorgiv eth.not the race to the swift nor the battle to the strong, fand the strength and wisdom with which He sees fitjto endue u.s. Supported, sustained and recog nized t him, we will at last be victorious. "If God be A for us (and his interposition in our behalf has already been miraculous) who can be against us." , ' SuPERioa Cocrt orWAKJ!.r The Fall term of .this court was held here last we'et, his Honor, Judge lteath presiding.' The only business of importance Vtoiajl tt was thcyYarbo rough will cv-e. Two wills were offered ftr probate, each as the, last will and tes tamentiof the.late (jol. Edward Yarboroug, well known as the roprictorofthe Yarborough House, in this city. Toe first of these wills was -executed five days be fore, the -death of the testator, and bequeath evl to the widow the cash ou hand, amounting to some twelve w fifteen thousand dollars, while to the chil dren of the deceased, eight to ten in nnrnW. ?t h- queathed the. Hotel property of every kind, valued at some twenty to thirty thousand dollais. The second - . . J . .. . r . cAwuiion or the first, and the day before the death of the testator, re versed these bequests, giving to'the widow the llotel property and to the children the cash. No exception was taken to, the form of either instrument, the only question being, was the testator, in a fit condition of mind when he executed the second will. The jury held he was no, and the first will, leaving the Hotel property to the children stands. The court refused a new trial, and we understand that an appeal has been taken to4he Supreme court, on what grounds we have not learned. Messrs. Badger and Badham appeared for the children.. Messrs: Mooie and Haywood for the widow. The case occupied two days. If.6uchtmngs hav happened as are suggested in the following paragraph, copied from the Wilming ton Journal of Thursday last, tho base perpetrators of such heartless impostures fchould be hung as ene mies to their race : , The Scork of IIumakity. We have heard it suggested that permission has been obtained by spec- ' ulating parties to shipflour fiom Richmond to Wil mington, on the score of humanity. Now we beg to , say that if permission has been so given, it has been obtained on false pretences. No flour has sold here by any parties so obtaining it, except at the usual speculative prices. None under thirty dollars per barrel, whereas it could ba vg been, "on the score of humanity," sold fo.r. eight to ten daUara less. We say what we do know. - , If this thing is to be done, let the permission be asked for by the public authorities of the town, not by speculators, who would coin money out of it. Let such things be 'marked and stopped; ; - Surgeon General Hammond reports at Washington ' that 3000 dead Confederates have been buried on the . field at Sharpsbtirg by the Federals, and that 600 re inain' uubuiicd. !. .. ; . i Lincoln's Proclamation. ' : . ; The proclamation of Linqpln the' Fieud, announ cing the extinction of slavery : from ihe -first day of January next, is equally the theme of the press and th people. -' In alt portions of the countrj; and .by the press of the North as well as the Sofyh, its obvf4 ous interpretation is the same. All unferstand it to mean a fiendish invitation to servile Mnsurrection, in lull view of all the atrocious horrors which such a . system of warfare would provoke. It is the last en gine which a baffled and desperate foe can employ to ruin those whom he cannot rule. To illustrate the horrors of n servile war, and the fiendish spirit of those who nvoke it, the Richmond Enquirer calls to mind the brutal deeds of the noto rious Nat Turner, in the Southampton insurrection, in 1831. Nat we are told, murdered, not only the few'men who fell into his power, but sought to ap- . pease his fiendish appetite on the reeking blood of the babe in the cradle. Every member of the family of Mr! Travi3, Turner's kind master, was savagely put to death. Mrs. Waller and her ten children were slaughtered and piled in a heap on the floor. . A school of blooming little girls were captured and "all brutally massacred except One who escaped. The family of Mrs. Vaughan was destroyed. In this man ner, says the Enquirer, between Sunday night and Monday noon they had murdered fifty-five persons, nearly all of whom were women and children. It is to revive these scenes of bloody horrors and ren der them universal in the South, that Lincoln proposes to emancipate' th slaves; for thus do the Northern pa pers interpret his fiendish proclamation. The N. Y. Times, while applauding it, earnestly hopes that, by the first of January, the rebellion will be put down by the military hand, and "that ihe terrible elements of slave insurrection may not be. invoked." The sincerity with which Lincoln's imp of the Times utters this hope may readily be inferred, by contem plating the prospect which it has of putting down the rebellion, by the military hand, in the space of ninety days" Never was there i a time with Yankee editors, when the rebellion would not be put down in "nineiy days." And even after the expiration of six times ninety days, jbeir ruffian hordes have been flogged, whipped and; conquered, at all points ol the compass, and driven back to their first starting point, the imp or subordinate fiend of the Times affects to earnestly, hope that, in "ninety days" more, "the rebellion will be put down by the military hand, and that the terri ble dement of slave insurrection may not be invoked." The probability of a general "slave insurrection" in consequenceot Lincoln's proclamation Or from any, other agency which he' may'efmploy to effect it, is barely worth serious consideration. Tha New York r World, the Journal of Commerce and ' the JYalional Intelligencer all regard it as brutum fulmen. Still it is not impossible that these fiends and their agents in human form, if able to pass undetected among us, ; might be able to effect much mischief. Of course they will come as wolves in sheepfe' clothing. There are even now in our midst those who would gladly undertake Lincoln's agency and rejoice to see bis most hellish purpose accomplished. But these impious," wretches must be watched closely. None but men of tried integrity and unsullied honor should ' be al lowed to have any intercourse with, or control over, Ihe black population. If kept from the polluting associations of Yankee mercenaries and Southern traitors but little danger is to bo apprehended. Fore warned, however, fools will be, if not forearmed. There is nothing to be lost by keeping a sharp look out and providently guarding every avenue to dan ger. " . . But how should they be regarded who contemplate with complacency and denounce such horrors against us ? That we may see where we are, and how we stand in relation to a barbarous foe, we may readily admit that itjnvesa new aspect and new policy to the war. It is worse than raising the black ag. . When armies refuse to take or give quarter, the defenceless women and helpless in fa tic' and decrepid old age are sup posed to be exempt from indiscriminate slaughter. But in no servile war, ancient or modern, have these classes had any immunity from the dreadful carnage. Lincoln the Fiend knows this, and knowing it de parts from and violates all the laws of civilized war-1 fare by seeking to procure the murder of women and' children by the hands of their servants. ' This is a thousand fold worse than raising the black flag, and it now becomes the duty of the government, the ar my and the people, to coucert and publish to the world such measures of retaliation as mankind, for whose rights we fight, and: the God whom we serve will justify. We are not surprised to see that a Southern editor, professing to be "a christian not a savage," gives out the idea that he would prefer to see a Hatti made of the South than that the latter should hoist the black flag. He affects to be urged to this preference, under the inspiration which enables Jiini to predict that, in such an event, Providence' himseir would withdraw from us the light of His countenance, and obliterate the Confederacy from the map of nations. Tins seems to be the argument of one who has not well' consid ered the attributes of Him whom he professes to fol low. The hoisting of the black flag'wouTd, we ad mit, be a terrible remedy for the evil complained of; the idea that the South should be made a Hayti, through the indiscriminate massacre of all classes, sexes, conditions and aged, as well the soldier in the - field as his wife in his lonely cottage, and his babe in t - j---..-. - - ' 1 - - , stance of Yankee savages-rsuch an idea, we say, is fla gitious and cowardly. Tho Southern soldier will nev er submit to sifch treatment of his wife and children, and on the conduct of the Southern soldier, in the present trjing crisis, the salvation of the Southern people depend. No retaliatory measures short of in stant death to tour brutal invaders, whenever captured, so long as Lincoln's proclamation is in force, will atone for the fiendish spirit which it breathes. 'Were we using a musket instead of a pen, we would advocate the swiftest and. most terrible retribution, by instant death on every invading enemy captured ou Southern soilr until this fiendisji proclamation were revoked. We would do it in the fear of God, from a sense of duty to our country, and in view of the speedy death to which such a-course might expose us. If, at length, under God, we should come out conquerors, we had only' been His instruments in avenging .and averting the tcriiblc death meditated, against our wives and children, relatives,; frieuds and countrymen, and in re-establishing the rights and liberties for which Wash ington fought and thousands fell. If, under the earae Providence, we should fall into the enemy's brutal hands and suffer instant death, we would be spared the agony, perhaps, of returning home to listen to the story which could recite only the tortures and agonies of all our loved ones expiring by the bands of savags ruffians., A thousand considerations would move us, we think, were we' in the arnxy, to fight ; under the black flag. But not beiug there not being exposed to the dangers and t rials whitjh our brave soldiers are called upon to pass through, we have no right to give bur voice for dangers which we do not encounter. Nor would our voice have much weight in determin ing the policy of a war whose ponderous "proportions varying fortunes and "probable duration, the best mii- tary intellects can alone measure, comprehend aud calculate. - There are those whVe office it Is to deterr mine this policy, and who alone can jude of itsfit nem by knowing the means for its prosecution at their uommand. To their heads, their hearts and ; their hands, we cliecrfully confide it. President Dari just ly rarAs, at home and abroad, as one of the greatest statesmen of the age, as Gen. Lee does as one of the greatest: Generals. To these we might add a list of military chieftains unsurpassed by any army the world ever saw, lor true courage and military genius, lt these determine the policy of the war, and whatevejrit be, their gallant and hitherto victorious army will spill their blood freely in vindicating its justice. ."If they shall say "black flag" "no quarter to our inva ders," until Lincoln's fiendish proclamation be revqk ed? as for ouraelves.we will bjail the decision with joy, and regard it as dictated by-superior wisdom, and in fluenced by a necessity which no milder mode of war fare would justify. Lincoln has done worse than hoist the black flag, and whatever system of retaliation our Government may see proper ta adopt will beiappror ed by. the Southern people, Vindicated by Southern valor, and justified before God; and man. - f Latest News by the Mails.? ( THE ARMY IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA. Of the opposing forces in j the vicinity of Win chester, nothing definite has been learned since our issue of Saturday.' A battle j then thought to be imminent and so announced by us, seems not so near now aa it then appeared to be. The rumor whic then prevailed that Lee was advancing on McCellawf seems to have been premature ; ! and McCJlellan, it seems, has no intention of advancing upon Lee., A dispatch from Washington, Oct. 1st, announces the arrival there of the Hon. John Cochrane, from the right wing of the army, who reporis it fain good condition' but thinks "they need and expect rest." The cavalry skirmish, jnentioned in our telegraph ic colomn, and in which; the lying Yankees claim a victory, came off last Wednesday as stated, near Martinsburg ; but Lieut, McGruder,' who left our army on Thursday, informs the Richmond Dispatch, that the ever-conquering Yankees catne out, as usual,, "second best." . . A gentleman who left Winchester on Friday and arrived in Bichmond Sunday afternoon, informs the same paper that all was quiet on the border when he. left and that a general fight was not deemed immi nent. It was not believed that the enemy had crossed the Potomac in force, only at Harper's Ferry, which place was supposed to be occupied by about fifteen thousand. Their pickets extended 5 or 6- miles in the direction of Charlestown, into which town they threw a few shells on Wtdnesday, but soon returned in the direction of the Ferry and were said to have re-crossed the Potomac into Maryland. ARRIVAL OF YANKEE R. R. ENGINES. Five Yankee locomotives three uninjured and two slightly damaged catjjreaVin the neighborhood of Warrenton and Manassas, reached Lynchburg bxst Friday, over the Orange Railroad the trestle work across the Rappahannock having been'finished just in time to enable the.m to cross and get out of the way of the Yankees in their lato raid, upon War ren 'ton. The engines are valued at $20,000 a piece. A number of captured cars were also brought over in safety. These are the same engines which, the tele graph says, the Yankees claim to have re-captured.

' ENGAGEMENT ON BLACKWATER.' A rumor, was cut rent on Sunday that on Friday previous the enemy's gunboats ascended the Black water as far as Frankliu Depot, on the Seaboard Rail roadand ktrned the Depot, It appears they did reach Franklin, fired some shot and shell.but were repulsed by Graham's battery, the sharpshooters also annoying them considerably along the banks of the river. Six of the rascals are said to have been killed.

The Journal of Saturday reports for the week ending on Friday night, 267 cases and 82 deaths. On Saturday the 27th Sep'., the new cases were 29-and the deaths 13; on Friday last the new cases were 40, and the deaths 13. The Journal of Monday announces 9 n terments the day previous. Physicians, nurses, pro visions and money begin to be supplied from abroad, and ought to be supplied liberally while the disease prevails. , " . ? KILLED, ETC. at the battle of Sharpsburg is 12,552.

Raines to a gentleman of this city, says .the Columbus Sun, we leam that he will leave Kichmonu Wednesday with Gen. Toombs, for Georgia, his wound requiring a respite from active duty.

" - Our Vacant Seat in the lVeeislatnrA It is eVident that the peopie of Wake county desi re to testify their sympathy and respect for Capt. Rand ,u' "uuenDgs ux xanKee aungeons anct for Jus gal lantry nd afrioasm before and since his" imprison ment, by electing hhn to fill the yacap'cj in the Leg islature, occasioned by the death of Henry W. Mil Jcr"; He nas been ; recommended t by the people through the three political papers of this city and by every man we hare spoken to on the "subject Seeing this, and fuTly underetanding thewishes of the yeomen of the county, Holden, the new ilankey of the aristocracy of Raleigh, attempts to defeat the wishes of tde people and to forestall their action, by springing a meeting here on S iturday last, to foist upon the county a candidate without a shadow of claim to the support of the voters of Wake, and to snatch from the conscription law a sprig of aristoc racy.' i, : . ' ' meeting we allude to was composed of a mere handful of the wire-workers of this place, led by flunkey Holden.. The chairman appointed a commit tee to draftf resolutions, of whem, and of course, fiankey Holden was chief, and a set of the flunkey's, resolutions was the consequence. ' Next, three candidates were nominated.' They were,- Col. Daniel G. Fowle, Kemp: P. Battle and Capt. Wiley-D. Jones. Not a sonl suggested the name of Capt. Rand 1 Then the farce of the ballot was gone through, and of course Col. Daniel G. Fowle was nominated. We could have told Capt. Jones two weeks ago, that he was not the roan select ed though a primary "meeting of his friends had Tecoinmeuded him and though two companies in camp had urged his name. He was not of the kind the flnnkey wanted, and Mr. Battle knew it and was a party to the arrangement made in favor of Col. Fowle. And now Capt. Jones is expected to come up like a true soldier to the support of the Colonel, and in the course of time he may get a chance himself after the whole clan of aristocratic sprigs are pro vided for. ' And now will any one tell us why Capt. Rand was not deemed worthy of hating hi name mentioned in connection with this vacancy, seeing that he had been first suggested and seeing that the people to uo incon siderable extent were for him ? And then will any one tell us how it was that Cti. Fpwle, whom nqne o the people, outside the clique, had thought.of, ven should be selected ? The answers will suggest them selves to our readers. ' , But Col. Fojvle is the : candidate and is before the people for their suffrages, and so too is Capt. Oscar R. Rand, and it is our province and our duty to examine the claims of these two gentlemen and to bring before the people their records. ' Colonel Fowle we must give him his title, though he has no more claim to it than we have, for he is not a Colonel, nor even a private, though he should be one in the conscript camp, and why he is not one we no more know than we do why none of his class are to be found there) so we will call him Colonel Fowle. Colonel Fowle, then, is a- talented j-oung lawyer and a pleasant and agreeable young gentleman. He is a. na tive of Washington county and settled in Raleigh' some six or eight years ago'.' lie is .son-in-law of Hon. R. M. Pearson, chief-justice of the Supreme court. He is a crafty, wire-working politician, and nothing more politically, and has been engaged in "trigger ing" for the Whigs,- Know-nothings, Distributionists Ad-valorcmites, aud now Conservatives, since the first day hesetfoot in Wake county. When the war broke for a shade office as Captain iu the Commissary , de partment: That office gave out' and for a-' while the Colonel was nothing. After a while be joined in with several others and raised a company for a i twelve. months regiment, and became Captain. That compa ny and several others were joined together and made into the 31st regiment, and the "Colonel was made Lieutenant Colonel. In the course of time the regi ment went to Roanoke Island whereits career was cut short by the Yankees. The Colonel amongst the rest was paroled, and. has remained ever since snngly at home with his family. On the re-organiza tion of the regiment, after its exchange, a couple of weeks ago, the Lieutenant Colonel, knowing hecould be re-elected to his old position, undertook to beat his old Colo nel (Jordan, a military man) but was himself beaten, and the elections left him without an office of any kind. Of course it could not be expected that the "Colonel" would stay by his regiment as a. private (though some men are foolish enough to do such things,) and he once more returned to the bosom of his family, instead of reporting himself to Major Mallett, he being under 35 years of age. And now he is-a can didate for Wake county,. Captain Oscar R. Rand" was born and raised in Wake county, in educition and in every other respect he is at. least the equal of Colonel Fowle, though but a Captain." In all probability he would long since have been a Colonel if he had had any connection with the -Supreme Court, or if he had not preferred to stay with the boys who had originally enlisted with uim. He has followed the honorable profession of a farmer and has sought no higher position than a place iu the affections of his family and his neighbors. When the war broke out he recruited a company and commanded it with some distinction at the battle of Newbern ; and neither he nor his men ever surrendered or ceased . to fight till surfonnded and overpowered and dragged away to loathsome Yankee dungeons, -wh-rfor monins iney nave ungereu in nunger and nltn. Mow Captain Rand treated bis men before their capture and whilst in imprisonment, we will not enlarge up on, as w.e are sure it would be against his wishes, ex cept to say that they wanted for nothing but their liberty and to be in the field again, till he was sepa rated from them... Three weeks ago Capt. Rand returned to his .home and young family. In less than a week afterwards he had. reported himself at headquarters at Richmond forduty, knowing that his captaincy had been as sumed, by another in the reorganization of his regi ment, but knowing that the ranks were still open for him yet. Without going farther with this comparison to-day, we present these two names to the freemen of Wake, and simply ask them which should be chosen ? Capt. Rand has not sought the honor which he so well mer its, and which his friends propose to do him. Colo nel Fowle has, and without deserving it. Capt. Rand is now in the army and will remain in it, if spared, till the end of the , war, whether elected or not. Col. Fowle is not in the army, and from present in dications it is very certain he does not mean to fee if he can help it, and unless Major Mallett take him in hand. : : :, : The Wilmington Suffebebs.
