It was stated in a former loiter, that Ool. Jones, of tho 22d Goor.-iu, did not demean himself properly nt tlte buttle of Mannfissns. A sim ilar complaint was ntudu ugmjist him by Ilia brigade commander nt Hifhmond At Sburpaburg, however, Ito completely re deemed himself, and both ho and bis regi ment displayed the utmost stdidinosa and resolution. After tho fall of Gun. Wright, Col. Julies took charge of tho brigade, and commanded it until lie too was wounded ; when Col. Gibson, of the 44lh, look the com- mnhd. 1 have found no person whq could give mo a correct list of tho Georgia regiments now in Virginia. Those who ate in posses sion of tlio information will put communi cate it to others, and l have been left lo find it nut as best I could. The regiments are not distributed under Brig, Getierals from our own State, but are scattered throughout the ii r, »y i 80 that there is not a division, u : d butleff brigades; in which there is not oiie or.mure regents from Georg a You may form some Idea, therefore, of the diffi culty one encounters in timing out, by bis Is't-tll. „ . , IV... ,J ... “bane oJf^aKationa” ttnd in six-monllts' time „ ni4 jd e d efforts, tlio corps, diviaio.*?* «uo ong- this n'cSif'SCd rebldlioit would bo crushed Udea in which they have been, place', cs- forevt'tt'fhislts a hom'd, war, and horrid peciully under the -rigid rules adopted by • •FS.'s !?Z'* '■ ’ , , , ■ . - .

I am not informed of the exact composi tion of Gen. Cobb’s brigade. The 4th Geor gia ia attached to Ripley’s brigade. Cntts’ battalion of artillery," formerly constituting a part of Gen. Pendleton’s artillery reserves, was transferred to DflR. Hill’s division. I now bear that it hits been put into the re serves again, much to the regret of Col. Cutts and his command, who prefer mors active service. Tim ciiHtillics in the 4tli Gcorgio, Col. Doles, (now commanding Ripley’s brigade,) will enable yon to form some idea of the character of the buttle and the losses sus tained by other regiments.

Betts, of the 28th Georgia, who was killed at Sharpsbiirg. The hotly of Col. L. S. Smith, of tho Twen ty-seventh, was not recovered, nor was Col. Holmes’, of the Second. Those of Ghl.

None of tlio field officers were mount ed during tbs battle; and yet the enemy’s allsrp-shooters seem tb have found but littlo difficulty in singling them out.

From ths Liverpool Courier, Sept. 17. Opinion ot the Cotton Districts on Recognition of the South—A Strong > oipe from Liverpool. The sum and substancoof the startling in telligence brought by tho Europe ia included in a few brief words. "The remains of th* three Federal armies arc hemmed up in their besieged capital.” That ia the end of eigh teen months incesaant and sanguinary warJ* fare. ■This defeat of tlio Federal* is equal to the looa of half a million of men. Mr. Lincoln may order a Conscription, but men are justi fied in resisting the orders of statesmen whoso ineompclonoy leads but to death and disgrace. The low Irish, undisciplined, and caVipg little for the Union, will not replace the Iroupa slaughtered at Centrcvillc and h W* Crtsftr-DeWr to buck-upon; tlmre are no new States to pron.iiWec in favor of the Fedcruls, ami to send 50,000 men to dio. The Confederates ure differently placed. But there ia matter of still more consequence. How can Eng land and France gently riyoct tho demand for recognition now made by the South? On what plea can wo roftmo to acknowledge that independence which ie a fact? It is not now the capital of tlio Confederacy whicli is belengurcd but of the Unionist*. It is Washington that Is in peril, not Richmond. Every conquest made by the Fedovals early iu Iho yonr has been given up, or is on tho point of being aifrrendcred. The Confeder ate States are free from tlio presence of tho enemy, except at New Orleans and a few unimpol'tant points along the Coast. Three invasions have boen baffled or repelled; three invading armies Imvc been shattered both separately iXml together. What do we wait f.ir, or what do we require ? Gunboats, in- dOerf, tipiy steal up rivers and tiro commercial towns, but the spiteful vsngeanco of a ma lignant enemy is not to be a bsr to justice. The siege at Washington place* tho Confed erates, in a position to demand their recogni tion. They ave no longer on th« defensive but tlio assailants. They have won the aiv miration of the. civilized nations for their G'lnaCmifcy, fcr'itqde, endurance and bravery. They hlivo w -■ gad to .-create resourCBa when glint a tho commerce pf the uurth, tljv-y i s. 7? . salon an insolent and bul lying puuplq three times their number; and arc wo to imitate-the conduct of New York jouriteliiit*, und ignore facte in hopes of oth er facts at some unmentionable poriod ?'
