malicious Conduct of Major Bucher.
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.”

Four-fifths of this sum would probably

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,

worse, and that therefore it is not to be
made a casus belli against the nations that
may recognize the Confederacy. 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.
