'.vi. Hi rf If ( FRANCE AND THE RECOGNITION OF THK CONEPDEBATE STATES OF AMERICA. The Paris correspondent of the N.0. Fica.: yune commanicates the foUowing important intelligence, under datoof July Wat: hf Judge Boat continues at his poet, sad exerts all his energies to posh forward thev- grave Ito terests confided to him, I have already men tioned the favorable impression he makes on all classes of people. I am not at liberty to repeat all I know, having been expresly desired t be most guarded in my language; nevertheless, I may quote to you what the Paris correspondent of the London Times said in a recent letter: "The recognition of the. (Confederate States i looming up here," and I assure you it is the truth. The most influential men connected -with."7 "the Government are strongly in. favor of it The Emperor himself said to a well Jtaown Ameri can gentleman a few weeks agof " I regret to see civil war waged in the United States espe cially as a policy of conciliation would have averted it, had Mr. Lincoln resorted to, it; but His the interest of France that the Union should be dissolved, and I cannot deplore that." A pamphlet has been published here; its author, I suspect, is Hons. Esparbie, one of the editors of La Patrie, which is a semi-official paper, and the Belgian newspapers say it was written to prepare the public mind here for a recognition of the Confederate Sat. Itis entitled, "Tie American Revolution Revealed." Here is its conclusion: f . Iv ' 'The struggle aas begun. If the South tri umphs, its yictory.;will forever free it from a system of commercial vassalage which militated - . . .. a . ' 1 . ; c . l r . against lis production; out u me iawj ui should replace it binder a political economical yoke, against which it is determined to struggle to the very last extremity, and which it is re solved never to bear, again: its defeat w4id be the signal for the annihilation of its production! its defeat' would superinduce the ruin of the South, and its ruin would be felt in Europe in a most disastrous manner, for it would dry the sources whence Europe draws the raw materials jhicb. have become one of the most necessary elements of its labor, for they are the indispen sable bases of the manufacture of articles of the first necessity. Can England and France allow themselves to be suddenly deprived of the cot ton which suppliestheir manufactories? We ask the question, for such will be the terrible pro hlenTwhich will rise before them the moment the North is victors Providence "will not allow this victory, and the clear far reach of foresight of Napoleon III. cannot be deceived about the importance of a question which interests the prosperity of France in so high a degree, and which we hold can receive no practicable nor equitable solution except in the independence of tho Confederate States of America." Here is an article which appeared in Friday's La Patrie, and which I commend to your atten tion, for it shows the change taking place in, public opinion here5: " j -'. '-Public -'opinion is forming daily in France upon the true character of American events, and as event after event takes place, a change grad ually occurs in the best minds a change which ?o thoroughly corroborates, the policy we have adopted; we must not neglect it. What were our assertions ? We asserted in the first place : The Southern States had a right to separate: the Constitution was silent touching the chances of secession, and an amendment to the Constitu tion had provided that, all powers not expressly delegated to The Constitution are reserved to the several States or to the people. In the second placet That pthe right of secession being admitted, "if is "the evident interest i of Eu rope to favor, or . at the least not to throw ob stacles in the way of a revolution which obliter ates from European politics a great State whose action might become embarrassing to European powers at. any .moment; a revolution which simplified by separation thecommercial relations f Europe with the several States of North America. Nobody now contests the right of ses paration possessed by the Southern States, unless it he by those men who are voluntarily blind, who have obstinately formed their opinions. We find this right inscribed on their frontice piece of the Constitution, which mentions that "when the thirteen American Colonies were acknowledged by George III, to be free, sover eign and independent States, they united togeth er to torm a more periect u mon." And lm pel led by tne rear or giving themselves a new master by instituting a General Government without any cheek upon it, the resolutions called "the Virginia resolutions of '88, which were adopted by Congress on the 28th June 1788, . declared 'the several States of the United State of America have not and do not unite together to enter upon a blind and unlimited submission to the Federal Government; but by the compact known as the Constitution of the United States (which is made open to amendment) they consti tute and form a General Government lor a cer tain specified object, to which they delegate certain well defined powers, reserving at the same time to eaeh and every State all the other rignts oi sovereignty not delegated to tne Uon-j Ktit.iit.inn ' ! "The same resolutions declare that whenever the Federal Government arrogates to itself the possession of any powers other than those speci fied, its acts shall be null and void. We have it in our power to support these solemn declara tions by numerous i rticles of the Federal Con stitution, by the deliberate opinions of the illus trious founder of American Democracy, and by other important documents, all of which prove beyond a question that the several States of the Union have a right to secede. La Presse. now understands this question as we do. It says, in a very remarkable article: 'There is now be tween the South and the North no longer any question of right, it is a question of fact that is a revolution. It is with the revolution the North must now reckon. ; Can you reduce it ? This is the only and the true point of the de- lists Tkooao.a J -" iiaowtj .wuiusuiuicuuajB ago in aiscus8ing tnis question with JJOpmion translerred to Mr. Thomas, with the authority to National.

"It is evident that public opinion in Europe is cuanging upon a great many ideas, upon a ' great many prejudices fostered by interested declamations. The "anti-humane, inconseauen tial conduct of Northern men in the exciting the Union slave States from whose nrodacta thov -I- wou Bnwuiug ktbuuiii tuw reckoned to make money, while in their news papers and books they hold - themselves out to Europe with all the advantages of an easy .but hypocritical humanity,'- are things which do not tend to conciliate the'sympathies of nations to them.

Thomas, a member of the Senate of North Carolina, has lately paid a visit to tbe city of New York, and whereas, it is cur rently reported that the said Thomas repeatedly told, while on his way there, that ho baa in bis possession Union speeches made by himself, which would greatly facilitate his movements ; and whereas, it is further Currentlv renortad that the said Thomas, while in the city of New York, pur chased claims upon divers good citizens of North carouna, ana la . now endeavoring to collect the same, whioh reports, if they be true, are giving aia ana comiort to our enemies : Therefore, Be it Resolved,- That a com mittfe of three Sena tors be appointed to investigate the truth of said reports and mike report thereof to the Senate, that the Senate 'may take such steps as to the Sen ators may seem' meet.' i Be it further, Resolved, That the said commit tee shall inquire into the fact as to whether tbe said J. W. Thomas is now or has been since his return, acting as agent for the collection or secur ing debts for any of the citizens of New York. Be it further Resolved, That tbe said committee shall have full power to send for persons and pa pers to facilitate their investigations and have power to examine persons on oath. Va this resolution, the Sneaker aDDointed Messrs. Barringer, Euro and Dbbson to constitute the oommitttee, . who after full investigation, made the following. f REPORT. "Immediately upon the anointment of the com mittee, II r. Thomas proffered and has afforded us every facility for the prosecution of the inquiry, oy furnishing' letters, private memoranda and other papers, which show the character and object of bis late visit-: .to' New York. From these sources the committeeo submit to the Senate the following statement of tacts, which must be re garded as coming from the Senator himself : On tbe 23d of J uly last, Mr. Thomas left North Carolina for New York city.bj the way vf Louis ville, Ky. Neither the time nor the occasion of his visit was concealed. His original design was, in connection with Messrs. M. L.tHolmes and R. J. Holmes, of 'Rowan county, to establish a com mercial house in Louisville, for the purpose of furnishing such supplies tojthe ConfederateStates, by that route, as their people might need during the present war. This design was, however, aban doned, upon reaching Louisville, and he proceed ed immediately to New York. It is proper to remark here, before going further with this statemont, that. Mr. Thomas started on his trip with but $245 in cash, which was intend ed to bear his traveling and personal expenses. He also took with him several thousand dollars of bank stock held by various citizens of this State in the banks of New York. These slocks were intrusted to him by the holders, with directions to sell them and account for the proceeds on his return. It was further understood that he might use the cash realized from such sale, with a view to ac complish his general object of supplying the Con federate States with such articles he could purchase and introduce in violation of the blockade. Besides the cash and stocks above referred to, he had a check on a New York firm for about $10, 000. ' The cehek was drawn by his partners in the present adventure (tbe Messrs. Holmes of Rowan county) for tbe proceeds of a sale of cotton made by the firm for them, and shipped to New York just before the declaration of war. Tbe Messrs. Holmes had put the amount of check in the co partnership stock of the firm between them and Mr. Thomas and they were very anxious to get the fund out of the hands of theNew York house. Mr. Thomas repeats that the above named cash, bank-stock and cb.ee k, constituted all the money or source of money which he had on his visit to New York4. On arriving in New York he executed his di rections in jreierence to the sale of the bank stocks held by our citizens, so far as he could do so with advantage.' Meanwhile an opportune chance presented itself to him in connection with another worthy citizen of this State, to purchase a vessel and cargo,? with a view of running the blockade on our coast Mr. Thomas embarked in this enter prise with! high hopes of success, the particulars of which the committee do not deem necessary to relate. But he denies that he put any money in the purchase of the vessel and cargo other than what he had realized from the sale of bank stock due and held by our citizens, as above stated. Thescheme ultimately failed, and was utterly aban doned by him. The contract for the vessel and cargo, so jar as ho was concerned, wa9 cancelled. In consequence, owing to the extreme hazard of bringing it borne, the money derived from the BtocKs, as :Well those owned by himself as by others, wj deposited in certain banks of New York, as appears by certificate of deposit exhibited to the committee by Mr. Thomas. With regard to the check on the New New York firm above alluded to; it was presented for payment, but with every disposition on the part of the firm to meet it, they were wholly una ble to do o. Their trade having been chiefly, if no uuureiy wun me ijonieaerate states, it had been for several months almost completely cut off, ana tne house was trembling on the verge of BUBueuMOH. -jajier proposing and rejecting mn tually several modes of pavioc the debt, the ttan Uemen composing the firm finally offered to place in the hands of M r. Thomas such Southern paper , as tney uaa or conld procure in the city, out f , which the cheek or debt could be paid, and the , balance, if any, be accounted for to them as soon as: practicable.

' Upon this statement, which by any evidence submitted to the committee, we are unable to discover in the purposes of the Sen ator from Davidson, in making his late visit to tne enemy's country, or in his induct while there, anything which calls for censure or other action of the Senate; and the committee respect fully ask to be discharged from the lurther con sideration of the subjeet. (Signed( Victob a Bakeemqie, Ch'm. i M. L. Etrux, : Josiph Dobsojt, Committee." On motion of Mr. Ramsay, the report was unamimously adopted. On .notion of Mr. Outlaw, the report was now recommitted to the committee, with a view to drawing up suitable resolutions exhonerating all censure from the Senator lor the action had io his recent trip to the Northern States. Mri Barringer, from the committee to whom was referred the report of the committee in the case of John W. Thomas reported the following resolution, to wit: 5 "The committee to whom was recommitted the Jn&2DrrK rMolu5on,f Inquiry concerning JohniW. Thomsa. beg leave to submit the fol lowing resolution: Resolved That the Senate is unable to discover any ground for imputing disloyal or censurable conduct to John W Thomas, the Senator , from Davidson, in connection with his late trip to the enemy's country." And the resolution was unanimously adopted. Ex-Minister Faulkner still remain, in custody t Washington, and is allowed no personal ,m" munication with his friends.

Their hands were violently seized because a pocket book was detained, and the un fortunate female pushed into a room with a soldier over ber.

The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin gives the following result of a conversation with a citizen of Texas,- who left New York a few days ago, and has recently visited various important localities at the North : He confirms the arcntmta whioh hnva haon receivedhereinrespecttothediminished zeal for.; enlisting in. me war in me oxortn, ana says that it is almost certain that drafting will there have to be resorted to in order to obtain sol diers', if they : are obtained at all! The peace party is steadily gaining strength. There is a growing conviction that the struggle for the subjugation of the South cannot succeed and must finally fail, and that therefore it is. useless to keep it up. Our informant thinks that every! outrage committed by the Government only tends to strengthen and deepen the reaction that is going on. There is also a growing want of confidence in the Government, which the failure of all: its plans hitherto, and the well known corruptions which have existed and are still believed to exist.have brought about. Large amounts of money are spent in New York to feed the poor, particularly the families of vol unteers, causing a heavy drain upon the purses of those who are well to do in the world, and the winter is looked forward to with dread and apprehension. Our informant Bays that there are, or were, two hundred peace papers in the North, and that the Lincoln despotism has come to the conclusion that it cannot succeed unless these can be silenced; and hence the recent fero city upon every thing like the freedom of the press a ferocity which has scarce' ever been surpassed by any despotism in the world. The conspirators are playing a desperate game, and may find the ground suddenly give way be neath them But notwithstanding these man ifestations in the North of opposition to the war, it behooves us not to be luUed into inac tivity by them not to place any reliance upon the active; sympathy of any portion of the Northern peoplebut to strain every nerve to prosecute the war to the- bitter end. We are strong enough to beat back the ruthless invaders of our soil,'and, if need bo, carry the war into the enemy'p country and as sure as there is a God of Justice in Heaven, we will by His aid, and with lour own strong arms, soon estab lish our claim, beyond the peradventure of a doubt, to be recognized all over the world as a free and independent people. A TURFITE ON THE BATTLE FIELD. Until w read the subjoined extract from the Richmond! correspondence of the N. O. Dolt it had bee? our impression that "the subject of tnis noticej' was killed m the battle. Jackson is well knowji on all the Southern fields where horse flesh is pat to the test of bottom and speed : Jams Jjackson, of North Alabama, well known in New Orleans,, particularly to the turfites there abouts, volunteered as a private, and joined the fourth Alabama regiment which snffi,rwi severely ofi the 21st. On the charge of that gal lant regimen t,Jackson was shot through the lungs and when Mmregimentjwas.'pressed back!he was left among the killed and wounded. Shortly after a Yankee abproached him and said: "Friend, you ap pear to be badly wounded; what can Ido for you ?" Jackson replied, "some water, for God's sake." The Yankee, in giving him the water, noticed a fine fob chain hooked in his vest, and said "young tpan, I see you, cannot survive, give me your watfch and I wilf send it to your mother." Jm looked at him askant and said: "Horse, that game is i flayed out; I know you will take the watch frm me, and Iwant to make a trade with you. If you will place me in the shade, and fill my canteen with water, I will give you the watch." The trade was struck in a minute, and placing Jim in the shade, and filling his canteen until it gUrgled over, Jim told him to "unhook her and draw her out," and before he left said to him, "that if lever he should make a match race, and wished to know the speed of his horse, to time him with ths watch, for he had given $285 for it at Liverpool, and there never was a better one turn ed out from the manufactory." Jim is getting well, haying laid until Monday, about 10 o'clock, before be was found, and declares that his watch trade was the best he ever had made since he had am vedj at man's estate. j Cajnajja Favors thi South The sentiment -of well Informed people of Canada is strongly in javordf Southern independence, and a growing '""s Wl wuMuiipi na animosity is entertained for their Northern neighbors. A case in point we wil here recite. It occurr ed in the city of hubv, Bk uie great tneatre, which was crowd ed, and the orchestra, between one of the acts of the; play, struck up "Yankee Doodle." It was promptly 'checked by hisses. The band then played "Dixie," which was received with raptuijous and tumultuous applause that continu ed Iar an , hour, interrupting the performance, tne audience callim? for TH-ri t,-..- .u ' I - o - mil me WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. tfTBe following 'fa a leading editorial article i. i i tke Cinctanati Commercial ;: ; 4, fc f f ! " For the first time tbe rebels are at a loss as to where they are to be struck. Tbe circulation -of female spies andtraitorous Northern newspapers being greatly circumscribed, ancr: the disloyal clerks in the various departments of the Govern ment being closely watched, andfthe publication of army movements being so far restricted as to embarrass the inquirers after truth, and the ar rest of spies and other agents of tbe conspirators in the North rendering more circumspection in in their movements advisable, our "Southern brethren" ! are really beginning to be plagued to know what we are about. More than all this, the Adams' Express has stopped carrying letters to the South, and telegraphic dispatches are not to be forwarded from Louisville any more, while increased vigilance is to be exercised all along the Ohio, to prevent smuggling and stop the movements of the conspirators. This will really embarrass lour "Southern brethren." They will not know where to look for the blow. , The next they know, a mighty fleet, with ten thousand men aboard, will open one of their cotton ports and let a streak of daylight into the benighted re gions of the original Secessia. Yellow Jack iB not guarding their coast this year. The . New England skippers know the Southern coast far better than the Southerners themselves know it. "Things is workin'." The reverses which the people at the Norlh have met have not changed the or der of things, or reversed the march of empire. This is followed up by another editorial para graph as follows : There is reason to believe that the profound repose which the Southern coast, and the nests of the conspirators in the Cotton States, have been permitted to enjoy, will hereafter be seriously disturbed. Gen. Butler's expedition is not the only one that will be launched. There is nothing to prevent the embarkation of ten thousand men at Baltimore any day, to strike a blow somewhere on the Southern coast. It would not surprise us to learn that Gen. McClellan, having securely fortified Washington, had made a forward move ment by way of Charleston, Savannah or New Orleans, j Now, says the Richmond Dispatch, it may be that all this i$ a part of a concerted plan to en deavor to induce us to withdraw troops from Virginia and 'Missouri, to defend the Southern coast. On the other hand, there may be some such purpose entertained, as is here foreshadowed, and expeditions,' similar to But ler's late expedition iuto North Carolina, may be fitting out for a more Southern destination. In either event, it can do no harm to be prer pared. Although it may be a feint, it becomes us to prepare: ourselves at every point. - . THE SOUTHERN AGENTS IN ENG- LAND. The London correspondent of the New York Times writes (August 24th) as follows: , The news of the battle at Bull Run fell like a spark on gunpowder among the Secession agents bere.and startled them into a supernatural activity. While our credit sinks like lead, these buy hands are writing money articles for the Times, and pumping theirfideas into the brain of that journal's city oracle. They are in Upmarket all over the country, bidding furiously against our Govern ment for arms, and as it seems to be thought, not without sucoess. They have got money ready money of that there can be no doubt, though from whom,! and at what awful discount, I do not even undertake to guess. They are sanguine as ever of recognition, and very likely have their reasons for being so. Nor is all this the worst. Within the last few days it is' rumored that they have tucceeded in equipping and sending off an armed steamer with a cargo of arms and ammu nition for tbe Southern States, which has been for some time past quietly receiving its stores, under the direction of a Liverpool firm in the American trade. Of the particulars of this affair I am not informed; but it is said, still further, that the British Goverment when called upon to prevent the? departure of the vessel, declined to interfere on what grounds I have not heard. If these stories are true, and whether they are so or not must soon be known, all talk of the good will of this Government towards u, and ull the talk of the English press about our ingratitude, will receive a quietus. But even if the story were not true, it must soon become so, for there is more than one armed ves sel fitting out in British ports, and intended to be run under the British flag till they have es caped! the blockade and lan Jed their cargoes. Then they will become ships-of-war, no doubt, and cruise as the Southern national fleet. The English Government, true to its neutral ground, will not interfere to prevent the fitting out of these vessels until its own interests begin to suffer. MEETING OF THE CHRROKEE NATION . THEY DETERMINE TO JOIN THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY A general meeting of the Cherokee people was held at Tahlequah on Wednesday, the 21st instant, by invitation from the Executive of the Nation. Tbe attendance, weare infermed, was the largest known among this people for many years, there being present about four thousand men, according to the best estimate that could be made. The ob ject of the meeting was stated by John Ross, Prin cipal Chief, in an address which announced the policy heretofore pursued in regard to the conflict between the United States and the Confederate Stales,. declared his own position, and that the time had now arrived when they should take their stand, and advised them to form an alliance with the Confederate States. A series'of resolutions were submitted, setting forth the sentiments of the Cherokee people upon various subjects of general interest, and expressed their approval for a treaty of alliance with the Southern Confederacy, upon just and honorable terms. The resolutions were passed by acclama tion amid the order and propriety becoming the great occasion, and which evinced the calm deter mination of tbe people to sustain them to the last. In view of this action and to be ready for any emergency that it may bring upon them, we learn from Capt. Benge that the Executive Department of the Nation have taken steps for immediately organizing a regiment of mounted men, who will be in readiness for action, whenever it may be re- Huirou. m m uiumenvs warnrng. m tbemeantime, steps will betaken to consummate an alliance with me uonieaerate uovernment The Cherokee are with us. and magnanimously treated. Let them be justly A DISMAL FOREBODING. The New York Times advocates a combined effort to gel rid of the unemployed and starving population of that city by sending them to the West. It owns up to the condition of affairs thu s Our citizens may as well now take into serious consideration tbe social burdens they will be obliged to carry during the approaching winter. The unemployed poor are increasing upon our hands at an alarming rate. Already we are in formed that thousands of able bodied women fire under charge of the Commissioners of Charity and supported at public expense women who ask for no charity, but only work. Many families of volunteers have not been relieved by the liberal sums expended, and will be forced'sooa to become burdens on the cuy. The swarm of unfortunate children--the offspring of people impoverished by the business prostration, or of fathers who have abandoned everything for, the war increases lnjhe streets. The agents of such societies as the Children s Aid Society report that numbers of destitute and orphan little ones beset their office or their schools and seek shelter and employment. All signs forbode a severe and gloomy autumn and winter for the poor. Before many hours have elapsed, the Potomac wiU be effectually closed by powerful batteries, and the water avenue to Washington it .7. strict blockade.

THE PRIVATEER SUMTER AT TRIN- fcJjDAD . 4 The Government has-received advices from flinidad, dated August tin, by which it appears that on the 30A of July 4be privateer d?" sailed boldly into the harbor, ana reporw self to the authorities of that island as being on cruise. She was last from Pur rto CabeHo, and since she succeeded in getting out of the Missis sippi river she had already caolured no less than eleven American vessels. The Sumter landed eight prisoners in a destitute condition, contri butions were made for supplying their immediate wants, and care would be taken of them until tbev could be shipped to the United States. The Sumter remained mere until ine out um mo, and was cllowed to supply herself with coals and other necessary outfits.. The British flag was hoistedon the Government flag-staff for. her arrival and the officers of the British vessel Cadmus appeared to be on the most amicable terms with those of tbe Sumter, lhe merchant who supplied the coals did it wit n tbe consent and approval of the Attorney General. There had been no American uonsui at l nniaaa for many months. PRIVATES RJ tllTINQ OUT. Captain Welch, of the schooner Mary Alice, recently capt urd by a Southern privateer, and taken into a Southern port, from whence he has made his way to New York by way of Richmond, makes a statement of the number of privateers now fitting out at Charleston, and those already gone from there. They consist of the Beaure gard, Captain Sibley, with fortv men ; the steam er South' Carolina, alias, Bull Run, Captain Cox setter, with eighty men; and a light ship moved from the Rattlesnake Shoals, with 'forty men. Moet of the crew of the latter, however, were in prison, as they had refused to leave after hearing of the fate of the Petrel. - ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF COL. ADLER. Tbe following extract of a letter from a gentle man in the Brigade of Gen. Wise gives informa tion concerning Col. Adler, known to some of our citizens as a soi-disant Garibaldian officer, who officiated for a time as engineer in Gen. Wise's column, where he was looked upon with distrust, returned to Richmond and again made an effort to attach himself to our Western forces : "A person calling himself Col. Adler, and who bad represented h'msolf as having been an Hun garian officer, came in the full uniform of a Colo- onel in the Confederate service, into the camp of the infantry and artillery of the Wise Legion. commanded by Col. Henningsen, at Dogwood Gap. tie claimed to have been sent by President .Davis to lien, t lovd. As it had been recently ascertained that he was an arrant impostor, being really an illiterate lierman-Nlew, and as be was strongly suspected of being a py, he was asked for his pass pass or commission. Having none to show, he was sent in custody to Gen. Wise's head quarters. Gen. Wise having examined his papers sent him back under guard to tbe camp, with or ders to forward hin a prisoner to Richmond. Whilst wailing the arrival of the stage on Satur day morning, the 31st, the unfortunate man cut his throat with a razor, and now lies in a danger ous condition. He seemed possessed with the idea that he would be shot on reaching It'chmond, and Ibis, taken in connection with great previous as surance, lea to the interence that the suspicions entertainod regarding him were well founded, and that he committed the attempt at suicide in the belief that the proofs of his guilt had been, or would be, discovered on investigation." Kkturninq CITIZENS, We are indebted to our friend, Mr. F. E. Davis, of the firm of Davis, Roper & Co., fs late Mobile, New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville papers. Mr. D. has just returned irom a tour, in which all the atoremen tioaed cities were embraced, and gives a very fiaWring account of the patriotic spirit which an imates our countrymen in the South and South west. All sections teem with soldiers, and not withstanding they have sent thousands and thou sands to battle in defence of our elorious South ern Confederacy, the demand has only to be made, ana tnousanas and thousands more Btand ready to respond. We are also under obligations to our towns man, Mr. T. W. Bradbury, for New York, Louis ville and Nashville paperi. Mr. Bradbury re turns to his dear Southern home, after a some what protracted absence, dating back as far as March last, disgusted no doubt with New York, and the entire, universal Yankee nation. He now more than ever realizes the truth of the sen timent, "There's no place like home." Peters burp Express. Minerals ijt the Socth. There was laft at our office a few days since a very fine specimen of copper ore found near Greensboroogh, N. C Tk. -:i r .u: : ,j , xuo uwuna ui mis specimen wouia indicate a very valuablo mine in that vicinity. It would be well if some capitalist would examine it and see what could be made out of it. Copper will be wanted by us in course of time, and the location of this in North Carolina will prove advantageous for the commerce with tbe sea-coast. Wo see by the Mobile Register that a rich lead mine exists on the Warrior River above Tusca loosa, in Alabama. These are newly discovered or newly announced mines. Both Virginia and Tennessen r rih in copper and lead ores long known. The lead mines in Southwestern Virginia are rich and ex tend over a surface of 50 miles in length. Both States have copper enough for all the wants of the South. Richmond Dispatch. Brutal Murder. The citizens of Swift Creek, Craven county, N. C, were startled on Sunday last by the announcement that John Chapman, a highly respectable citizen of the county, hadbeeu murdered by aband of runaway negroes, headed by a black villain calling himself Ben Soon, the property of Mr. Wm. Grimes, of Pitt county. Ben Soon is supposed to be the negro that shot and killed,Mr. Chapman. This band of runa way negroes, with Ben at their head, is the terror of that region of country, and the citizen of that county, with a commendable spirit of liberality, have raised a subscription of $400 for the5 appre hension of Ben, and placed it in the hands of F. P. Latham, Esq., of Craven County. The deceased was a young man of irreproacha ble character and universally esteemed. His loss will be greatly felt. The South Acknowledged a Belligerent Power. Though the Lincoln Government still refuses to officially accord to the Confederate Slates their acknowledgment as a belligerent power various millitary officers in the Federal service are continually doing so without being reprimand edm the slightest from headquarters at Washing- The Memphis Appeal thus sums up the instan ces : Butler, when at Fortress Monroe, exchanged prisoners with Gen. Magruder. Col. Wallace, the abolition commander at Cape Girardeau, has with in the past few days exchanged prisoners under a recognized flag of truce with Gen: Pillow, and Commodore Stringham accepted the capitulation of Fort Hatteras under tbe express stipulation to treat Capt. Barron and bis garrison as prisoners of war, and as such award them all the usual courte sies appertaining to belligerents. Such a paltry dodge as this is unworthy even of the gorilla concern over which Abe Lincoln pre sides. - . r Recruiting tor the Federal Army. The Northern papers report great dullness in the re cruiting business. The New York Herald says not more than ten men were booked in New York last week for general service, and the regimental officers were scarcely more successful. A few men enlisted in Philadelphia, Rochester, Buffalo and Boston. The reduction of the army standard from five feet four and a half to five feet three has not had the effect which it was expected to have of increasing the number of recruits ry expedient and .incentive have been in vain. The military enthusiasm of the North, to use a Yankee phrase, has "played out." Salt We are happy to state this article is now S?ial"?itamu0nS u' and kfgo applies will soon be placed in the markets.
