Some days ago Major Rucker was in conversation with a Fir, tat, and forty 7 buxom widow of an adjoining county, when by 7 accident, she mentioned the. age of one of her admirers, stating that he was not quite thirty-nine. The Major made a mental note, of the fact, and soon departed, lie went straightway in pursuit of this juvenile admirer of the attractive widow, whom he had before learned was a little more than forty-years of age. When he arrested Mr. Johnson, Rucker stated that he regretted to inform bin. that lie was under the painful necessity of conscripting him. “I have learned,” said Rucker, “from Widow that you are only thirty-nine ; she says that you told her so, and i feel it my 7 duty to take you down to Colonel Blake.” ‘‘Oh ! aii ! yes,” said Mr. Johnson ; “in fact, sir, to tell you the truth, sir, /did lie just a little to widow 1 wanted, yes —1 wanted to get married—you under stand, don’t you Major.” “I don’t understand anything about it,” said Rucker, “you must go with me.” an establishment.

JVhen here, Gen. Com? was in fine health and spirits.—He has since arrived in Col umbus, where, we see in the Times of; that city, the officers of his staff had preceded him. Commenting on the; assignment of Gen. Cobb to his pre sent command, the Times, pays him the following just compliment: “Ilis' superintendence ofthe defence of this section of the State, we feel assured, i will give universal satisfaction. Though not trained to the profession of arms, Gen. Cobb, throughout the eventful campaign in Virginia and Maryland, exhibited a marked aptitude for com mand, while his well known energy is an ample guaranty that all human ; agency can accomplish with the means j at Iiis command, will be done to pro tect this Department from the incur sions of the enemy.—Of his valor there can be no question.” f Tnteligencer.

Four-fifths of this sum would probably be net profit, yielding to the State, in one year, the handsome revenue of $750,000 on an investment of $60,000. This is on the assumption that the State charge the same that the firm now sells them at. But it is a part of the proposed contract that the State may furnish them to her citizens at cost which will be between $2 and $3, per pair. However this may be, the aggregate profit to the people of the State is the same. Therefore this cotton card measure is of the highest importance, and should be disposed of Without delay aud in a liberal spirit.

Recog nition,-however, will not only inspirit the South, but it will depress the North; it will give an entirely new character to the war, by removing from it the stigma of re volt, and by raising the Confederate States to an equality in all respects with their adversaries, and will entitle them to the good offices of the recognizing powers to put an end to a strife, which, so far as the North ts concerned, will have no long er an excuse. Recognition will not long precede intervention; a people who have won the light to a place among the na tions of the world, and had their position admitted will not long be suffered to be tho victim of a contest directed against them as rebels. Recognition will secure the practical independence of the Confed erate States as certaiuly as did that ot the United States.
