unr. ii^ittitigly, and when daylight came, verily
were the fiuit.s of their labors clearly discernible
in the fortifications which they had reared, end
which proved thereafter such impassable and im
pregnable barriejs to om brave and gallant men
when assaulting them.

be a oandidate for thcH residency beyond a doubt,
if Lincoln should be ic-nominated. In the latter
event Chase will re.-ign his pretensions and sup
port Lincoln; but I'roniunt’s convention is to meet
oa the lUth of xMay, while the struggle between
Jjinco’n :.r.d Cha.s’e will bo decided in the June

will be the Democratic candidate, with Lincoln

Meaars. Editors: You will please grant a space
in your columns to make known a few facts, which
I think are woithy of public notice My neigh
bor and friend John B. iSutton Esq., (a man iu
moderate circumatances) ot Westbrooks’ District
Sampson County, through the persuasion and as
sistance of his neighbors, souie seven years ago,
erected a Grist Mill for* the benefit and conveni
ence ot his neighborhood—sinoo that time his
mill has bcea blown up aoveral tiuies; Vmt being
a man of untiring energy and perseverance, has re
built, and keeps his Milt in good r>'pair. He is
the regular manager aud keeper of his mill, and
seHs all the toll corn he receives to the poor aud
needy at Government pritie, when he could as
easily get three times that amount. Many bushels
of oorn are in this manner distributed among the
defltitute. He also grinds free of toll a consider
able amount of corn drawn from the County by
indigent families of soldiers The example set
by this generous Sampsonian is a good one, and
worthy of imitation by all MillvTs throughout the
County. K.

As I know you are interebtcd for the churches
in this city, I write. About the middle of Jan
uary, Bishop Ames arrived, and as his com
mission was difierent from what we all expected,
it haw ended in his obtaining posses.'ion of all the
Methodist churches in the city and supplying the
paitoratcs His order trom the Secretary of War
was to take charge of all churches “not supplied
by loyal pastors and appointed by loyal bishops "

of the prophetic timca of the Bible.
Thid Bishop Ames is from Indiana, and of
th e Methodist Episcopal Church, North. About
si. t weeks since he “possessed” and “occupied,”
in like manner, the Methodist church iu Mem-

Fitxhugh, of tht Fifth Virginia cavalry, who,

turns out to have been one of the most heroic and
creditable affairs of the war. V' ith 15 men this
gallant officer, who was in Matthews county on

Gen. Meade depends upon the War offioc for his
plans, and that the War office is incompetent to
direct him. The Herald hopes that Gen Grant’s
visit has some connection with the movements of
fhe army of the Potomac, and intimates that his
visit IB by special requisition trom the President,
with a view of consulting and having his views
of the operation of the army in Virginia.
From Charleston.—There is no news from
Charlepten. 'I’he situation of affairs remains un
changed. A correspondent ot the New Y’ork
Tribune says that the business of blockade-run
ning has been resumed there, and that hardly
a week passes without a couple of blockade run
ners runuing ovor the bar, and entering the har-
boi*. This is said to be attributable to the in
sufhciency of the blockading squadron, greatly
’■educed by Gilmore’s expedition.
Eurupr—Humors of Revoy nit ion Lj/ France.
—Through the Northern papers we have later
advices from Europe.^
The most interesting feature of the intelligence
is a rumor that France has decided upon an early
recognition of the Confederate StateF, and is now
cnnterring with the British Government on that
step, with a view of securing, if possible, Eng
land’s alliance in the matter. The story seems
to have originated in this wise. On the arrival of
the last 8tf amer from Europe, a bearer of dis
patches from Mr. Dayton, U. S. Minister to
France, 'proceeded immediately to Washington
taking the very earliest train after his landing
The said bearer of dispatches is said to have been
quite communicative of the nature of the com
iuunic>tionH he bore, and represented them as
announcing to the Go”crnment at Washingto;
the ctrly purpose of France to recognize the
Confederate States The Kmperor had intimated
to Mr. Dayton that, after waiting long and pa
tiently, >ia could see no .satisfactory evidence of
the ability of the Federal Government to put
down the rebellion and restore the Union; that
the interest.^ of France continued to suffer sC'
verely from the blockade and the consequent
suspension of commercial intercourse with the
South; that the forbearance of the French Gov
ernment in that particular had been met witH ©n
ly hostile criticism of the Emperor’s Mexican
policy by the Northern journals; that th« notes
which the Minister of Foreign Affairs hadfrccently
received through the U. S Minister, in relation to
the Confederate steamers Florida and Georgia,
were di.scourteoiftaiid dictatorial in tone;and, final
ly, that it was due to the cause of humanity that
something should be done by some power like
France, not unfriendly to either belli^rent, with
a view of terminating a civil war which has raged
80 long without any definite resuUg. Upon this
intimation from the Emperor, Mr. Dayton dis
patched a messenger to his Government at Wash
ington.
This is the story. Whethar tryie or not, it
seems to have esrcited considerable feeling in the
North. The substance of the above appears in a
New York paper, as a dispatch, double leaded
from Washington, and is iiAlowed up by the edi
torial declaration, “on the very best authority,”
that the relations between the U. S and France
are in “a very critical condition.” The story
moreover assumes an air of probability from the
fact that the Paris correspondent of the London
Post writes to the same effect, and the' storv (
recognition beems to have been received botn i
Paris and London with more con&dcnce than ever
The Republican papers of the North treat the
rumor with levity, and say there is no truth in
it. A dispatch from Washington, as it speaking
by official authority, discredits the whole thing
and «ays that it is but a mere tiick of cotton
speculators; that “the relations of the U. S with
France and England are peaceful and harmonious
and will bo maintained as such with both power
ccrtalnly with England.” The North counts with
certainty in the ease of England, and as an evi
deuce of the good feeling on her part, at least,
poiuui iAf me VTJte tu int duuao ur commons on
the motion for the production of certain papers
concerning the seiaure of the steam rams. This,
the North regards, was a test question of the feel
ing and action of the British Goveriunent, and
was decidcd with tlie following resiklt: for the
motion, one hundred and fifty-th)‘ee, and against
it one hundred and seventy-eight. This vote,
the North urges, settles the ram question in the
British Parliament^ and adjusts a matter which
could form ‘‘the only point of dispute which could
possibly interrupt the prosent peaceful relations
between England and the United States.”
\ffairs remain in Schleswig unchanged. Den
mark has accepted the proposition for a coofe-
rcnce, but it was considered doubtful whether
peseeable results would ensue. The British chan-
nel squadpn had been ordered to the Baltic in
ordfir to prepare for probable eventualities. The
tone of the British papers is warlike. Lord-
PalmerstOQ had declared peace a remote contin
gency and war as certain between the present
belligereats.
