( ji' WHEN SHALL WE BE RECOGNIZED f Judg-'mg from the tone of the presa in ogl&nd &nd France, we cannot help think icg tha recognition of the independence of the Confederate States is not a distant e?ent, and that the next news we shall bear from Messrs. Mason and Slideil will be that they have bleed recei?ed by the Courts. to which they have been respectively accredited as Ambasadosrs. This event will be; followed by the raising of Lincoln's blookade. That this' bUekade has been an inefficient one, we 1 hafe; proofs every week and England and ' France 'wtU not permit it to f be continued , until Lincoln has tiiu e to seal up the South em ports with sunken vessels laden with stone, ; They claim that these ports are the property of the world, and while they ; will acquiesoe in and respect a temporary block ade, toaintained in the mode prescribed by . the law of nations, they will not ;stand by and see tbese ports closed by obstrucrtiens whicR it will perhaps take years to remove. Nothing can be more plain than thkt no one nation. has the right, for purposes of interest or revenge upon a nation with which they are at war, to inflict upon nations with which they have no cause of quarrel mpt serious and pernianent injuries. Linooln's sunken : blockade is an act of war against humanity itself and an aot which should be and will be resisted by all Christendom. It, stamps npon Lincoln and his advisers the character of being either fools or madmen, and will be reeorded in history as the most stupid and i wicked laois of a government whoso effort it r has seemed to have been to oulminate in folly and wickedness. It is stupid, because it will arrajy against the initiators Powers be- fqre whose! slightest frowu they will quail, and, it; is stupid, because, if they succeed in doirjg permanent injury to the Southern ports, they would themselves pay the penalty of the deed bjr the loss of products indispeosa- , ble to their iudustriil pursuits. The wick edness of the aot is most transparent, for, granting for the : sake of the argument that " they have just caus'e of quarrel against the South, they Lav no right to commit an act of war against the rest of the world. In view of j these facts, then, and looking at the jeveraeij which the Yankee armB .hive sus tained, the brutality whioh has characterized their conduct everywhere, and t!! injury which this war is inflicting upon the business and happiness of the world, we do cot think we are over-sanguine in believing that Sptith ern,. independence will be soon recognised, and the Southern blockade be soon raised. The. new? by the Asia, just received, strengthens the views expressed above, , "rixie'l is at present the national air of the Southern Confederacy, and its performance ' by British balds in av British port is aure sign of 1th! feelings which prompted it; Yankee poodle is at an awful discount on the Musical J zohange of both England and France, jand will never rise again,' but go down, and down, and down, until it gets up on a par! with theolassia air, indicating high strung ambition, which begins in these words: "If I was de President of dese United States, "If I was de President of dese United States, n "U I was de President of des United States, "I'd eat lasse candy and awing upon de gates. " j J LET THE DOGS DE TAXED. In view of the great demand for wool in the South, we urged npon the Legislature ai ua ieb session to jay suou a tax upon aogs ks, woui d, greatly diminish their, number, but that augvast body toas too busily engaged in making Senator! and "grtuding axes" to at tend to sj trifling a matter as getting rid of an obstacle to a supply of wool. Ask any farmer why he does'nt raise sheep, and the ohances are ten to one that his reply will be, f the dogs, won't let ine." As the Legisla tare neglected to lay a tax on dogs, we call the attention of the Convention to the sub jeot, in.tbe hope that tbey will find remedy for a great evil. If men will havedogs, and subject the , property of their neighbors to the risk of bemgJdeetroyed by them, let. them be ronndlj taxed for .the loxury. If this does, not encourage the raising of sheep; and consequently an increase in the snpply of wool, it will, at anj rate,; put money, in the Treasury. v- ff.'Xr f . t General Wise has been assigned to.tha cooi maftd .of the oaat defenoat of the CarHtnck Distriot in this State, tfe has, we learn, already repaired to the post assigned hlr4. f " v,The oonditioa of Western Virginia is be cojaing more alarming every day. i Theyan kees atg in c ertain portions of i t havin g it all; their own way, and robbery and morder are stalking hand in hand through tbe land. It was a great mistake to send Floyd's com mand to Kentuoky, instead of! keeping it wheie it had done and would have continued .. i - to ido, fluoh signal service. jWe learn from the correspondence" of the Richmond papers that thejVirginia and Tennessee Hailrpad is in hourly danger of being seized hj the Yan kees. Such 'an event , would entail incalcu lable calamities not only on Virginia, but the South. The Yankees would at once have popsession of all the salt wells, anid the finest cattle country this side of Texas j and thus would our army on the Virginia cjioast be cut off from the supplies of beef which they are how constantly receiving, and wbiohare.so necessary to their existence, j With the, Vir ginia and .Tennessee Railroad in, their pos isesfiion, the Yankees would play the same game in Western Virginia that 'they have iplayed in Maryland. j ! We do hope tnat our contemporaries in 'Richmond will be unceasing in their invoca tions to the authorities to provide a safeguard sagaiost the loss of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. i M OUR COA.ST. 1 It will be seen by j to-day s paper that stir ring news from our coast may be expected pi any moment.

' ENERGY OP THE SECESSIONISTS, .The Cincinnati Commercial has the follow- : ' j ' . ' . I It must be confessed that energy of the Seces siionisJs is wor'.hy a better cause. While our Government, with it s boundless resources, and ioi naeasUrable superiority to the Confederates in me ebameal skill, fights with smooth bores at Pensa cela, the rebels reply with rifled guns. Repeated ly during the war they have amased the old fo gies of our military circumlocution cffic by rifled artillery. They turned out the first irpn-plaled war viessl, and in spite of their disadvantages, have np a formidable flotilla on he-MisSis.ip;-i awaiting our'new gun-boats.

Ihe Kictmond correspondent of the New Or leans Vi-ete'it gives the following in his letter of the 24th D'JC:J ' ' . : ( I cannot close this letter, long as it is, without narratijag tin occurrence which happened some davs ago atfOentreville. It was this: Some ne groes, at vork oft tha roads and fortification?, took it intovtbeir heads one night to serenade Geti. Beauregard.- Ple&sed with their performance, be went to th winjqw and asked them tp sing "My Maryland; the sweetest and most touching song the war bag yet produced. IThey- were unable to sing it. The next 3ay Colonel Jordan, Beaure gard's Adjutant, wo has a-printing press in his department, caused several copies of "My Mary land" to beetrack-eff and s$nt to the members of tbe First Marylapd Regiment, miy of whom are vocalists of the highest order. The hint wa taken, and that "night Gejn. Beauregard heard 'My Marytgnd" sur?g with he power and pathcis which exiles along can give it. At its close ho, stepped forward and, in hii modest, gentle way, said : "Gentlemen, I thank you warmly for tho very agreea&le serenade 'yoa 'have given me." The Marvlahders "knowing; his QMiet habit, and thinking he hajl said all he intended to eay, re sponded with "three cheers (for Beauregard," and were about -o. return to their camp. What was their surprise y?h.en he called then to stay, and unfurling a-flag, said: "Gebtjemen, I present to you a Confederate battle flag, made in Baltimore by the most beautiful woman in that city." "Without waiting to he armore, an enthusiastic young officer called for "three cheers for Miss Hattie Cary," .which were ; gh-en with a will. ' Not so fast," 'sai4 the Major of the 1st Mary land, as soon as the cheering ceased, "not" so fast," said he, putting his hand on the shoulder of the excited Lieutenant, "it was not Miss Hattie, but her sister." "Three cheers, then, for Miss Jesnie Cary," cried ; the .Lieutenant. Of course they Vere heartily gi ven When the sound died away into perfect silence, and the audience, now com- jTiBiug luvav ox me regimeni, .awaiiea tien.; Beauregard's further remarks with rapt attention,, he continued : ,"Yo, it was made' by Miss Jen nie Gary, and when she presented it to me, J pro mised her on the Itbnor of a gentleman that I would, with my own hands plant it upon the Wash ingto n Monument in Baltimore ."' ; This assurance of a triumphant return to their city, coming. '.from the lips of the Commanding General, and while at eir hearts were still softened by the tender 'strains of their chosen song- of love and lamentation, produced an effect on the Mary landers which it is-impassible to describe.

NEWSPAPER OPINIONS REGARDING THE SURRENDER OF MASON AJSD SL1DKLL. j From the Maryland News Sheet, of the 3d inst., we clip the following : The Mentreal Gazette speaks of the surrender of Mason and Slideil as a bitter humiliation for the Federal Government. Had the British Ministry been guilty of so blundering a piece of statesman ship, tho Gazette- says that "ihe Cabinet would have been broken up, and its members ignomin imsly kicked out of their places." Th? Providence Post declares that the surren der of the prisoners "cannot fail to humiliate and degrade the high character to which abler coun sels had elevated this once, prosperous Republic." Mr. Seward's letter to. Lord Lyons is sharply sat irized by the Albany Argus.
