Camp near Winchester, Sept. 29,1862. Mr. Editoi': We have fallen back to this point, but for what object, ie known only to the com manding Generals. We effected this retrogarle movement in a day and a half—a distance of about twenty-five miles, down the beautiful and level “ Valley of Virginia.” I bad beard much of this region from my “eoldier friends,” who described it as tho “garden spot” cf Vir ginia. It is, indeed, a beautiful country, level as the low lands of Georgia, fertile, well water ed, and lined on either side by blue ranges of hills and towering mountains, which, In places, give it quite a romantic appearance. But with all its boasted loveliness, the Valley of Virginia, as far as I have seen it, falls far short of that portion of Maryland through which we passed. Here in our view was presented rugged heights, sylvan woods, rich, fertile valleys, winding streams, and water fails. Upon every hill browsed flocks cf rJieep and herds of cattle; while here and there, in close proximity, were the stately stone or briek mansions, capacious barns and farm houses o! the rich old farmers. Here, too, we fared better than elsewhere we have been. Mill; at five cents per quart, batter at ten cents per pound, bacon at ten cents, bread, honey and vegetables were furnished us in abundance. Meals were furnished for the ask ing and where they would not take Confed erate money, they gave us what we wanted. Hence, in part, the general regret felt by the army akleaving Maryland. The majority, after giving the Yankees such a whipping at Sharps burg, cannot understand the necessity of falling back. After abandoning Harper’s Ferry, it be. came necessary to prevent a threatened flank movement. After the many contradictory reports, it is positively ascertained that onr captures at Har per’s Ferry amounted, in the aggregate, to 11,000 prisoners, 73 pieces of artillery, 200 wagons, and a large amount of qudrtermaster’s and commissary’s stores. There were six field batteries, with perhaps four hundred horses and their harness. I saw a good many of the captured articles, rueh a3 overcoats, haver sacks, pistol scabbards, &c., which were appro priated by the men after the surrender. The prisoners were paroled, and the place held long enough only to transport the captured proper ty to the rear. As usual, the Northern papers claim all their defeats as “brilliant victories of McClellan.” True, we gave back at the Gap near Boones boro’ under a tremendous pressure, but Gen. Lee's object tv is fully accomplished, viz: the prevention of reinforcements reaching (ieneral Miles at Harper’s Ferry. In this view of the case our forces gamed a victory, although we lost the ground and suffered severely in killed, wounded and missing. It is said that the ene my snfferC<BTen more than wc did in killed and woun<M% In the l'ollfllayß , battles, we lost qnite a nura ber of good officers, bat nothing to compare with the Federal#. They acknowledge two Generals killed and eleven wounded ! To use the language of a “plain, practical” man, “most of their old he Generals have been killed, and wo have but little to fear from their new ones.” Certainly their officers are brave, bat their men Bre cowardly, or which is equiva lent, they are cowed by defeat In the fiirbt ol Wednesday evening, when Col. BennSng’s lit tle band of three or four hundred defeated as many thousands, one regiment of Federal# ad vanced, delivered one volley, aud “ retired ” ! Capt. Twiggs was captured, but was paroled iu u tew days, with about live hundred others. Ho says the Fede.al officers with whom he con versed of Gen. McClellan’s staff, admit thrir loss in the several battles of tpe week lobe thirty-one thousand. This, of course, includes the Harper’s Ferry prisoners. Tc.-y have an exalted opinion of Southern chivalry. They say our soldiers act m >re like Juo!s than rational men, because we rush upon nearly every battery which they dare to expose, and attack superior numbers regardless of consequences. lam happy to be able to state that Captain Arnold, of the “Sidney Browns” is not mortally wounded, though his wound isdoutuless, a dan gerous one. While I rejoice that this noble and gifted young Georgian ins been spared to ren der further services in his country’s defence, I am greived to the heart at the Sad Inteßlgcuee of the death of Lieut. Robert Jordan, ot the same company, and brother ot the lamented “Bee” Jordan, whose death I mentioned in my tetter from below Richmond. Lieut. Robert Jordan was Aid to Gen. Col quitt, and had distinguished himself In every battle by riding through the most tremendous showere of balls and grape, while carrying or ders to the different regiments of the brigade.— I have been unable to obtain full particulars of his death, and give the following brief account which 1 obtained irom Mr. Joel P.rrv, an iutel llgent member of thefi.h Georgia. Gen. D. II Hill wanting orders carried to a particular point where It seemed the enemy had concentrated his heaviest the, and knowing Jordan’s dauntless courage, requested him to except the tnission. Jordan dashed forward* like a Murat or a Ney, and had scarcely reached the point of danger when a fatal Minieball entered just below the right eye and ranged backward and upward. He had previously received a ball in his right side. He did not fall immediately from his horse. He reeled and struggled for some minutes, as if to maintain his saddle until his mission was per formed. But the wound was fatal, and Robert Jordan fell a corpse to the ground ! H;s horse went fifteen steps further and was shot dead. His corpse was brought this side of the river and buried with due honors, beside several other diadugnished dead. Robert Jordan was an exemplary member of the Methodist Church, and practised what he professed, i, to be ; i 'hr mion While his “t*?T ls mourned by many r t Llives and much £!L i £ ta * consolation to know that he bv the exchange ot worlds. u *e eueoiy is advancing by * “SE-Verty.

BETTER FROM GOVERNOR LOWE. Winchester, Sept. 25,1863. To the Editor of the Despatch : . . , fWuctaiH as I feel to appear as an at ologDt, I am nevertbless constrained to correct, a grave and dangerous misapprehension JjK IjDK from Public °' c %,££ ™yoV!Z the passage of me Government, through western border. ® he Cotnman der in-Chiet of the_ proclamation o p eop i e „ Maryland,hae the .army ad } ts determimal •■. to afford , themin' opportunity of deciding their political S it is essentially necessity that there .hnuld be no misunderstanding or prejudgment. rt the present occasion be lost, it may never aeain be recovered. It becomes a wise people and the statesmen who control their Interests to avoid hasty conclusions. In my letter to the Legislature of Virginia, last winter, I gave the solemn assurance that the people of Maryland would, by an overwhelming majority, unite with their bretheren of the South in establish ing the independence of the Confederate States, if the chains were stricken from their limbs and armß placed in their hands. The experience of every day since has only confirmed this opinion. lam therefore distressed and troubled by the manifestations of dissatisfaction at the suppos ed nnlavoruble reception of the army by our people. I thick I shall be able to show that suen a complaint is unfounded and unreason able. It is well known in Richmond (outside, at least, of official circles,) that the advance of the army into Maryland took every one by sur prise. All supposed that such an advance would be made, but none anticipated so early an reali zation of their hopes. As soon as notified of the fact, I left Richmond and pressed forward towards the army with all the speed which the most imperfect means of transportation could afford On my arrival here, I ascertained that General Lee had left Frederick with the army on his march to Hagerstown. I had the pleas ure of meeting him for a few hours only on my native soil. For wise reasons, apparent to all, this able commander immediately afterwards recroesed his army to the South bank of the Potomac, after having spent but a few days in two of the extreme western counties of Mary land, during which he captured a large and splendidly equipped army at Harper’s Ferry, and gained a brilliant victory over the main body of the enemy at Sharpsbnrg. I only par ticipate in the universal hope and belief of the people that the genius of the commander and the unbroken spirit of his troops will soon lul fill the promise of his proclamation to the people of Maryland. j The people of Maryland had no notice of the advance of the Southern troops. When General Lee was in Frederick he was forty-five miles from the city of Baltimore—a city surrounded by Federal bayonets, jealously guarded by an armed Federal police, and lying in the shadow of Fort McHenry and of two powerful fortifica tions Incited within the limits of the corpora tion. The advance of the army reached Freder-ek on Saturday, and on the Wednesday following the army moved off towards Hagerstown, and became engaged in the investment ot Harper’s Ferry ar.d the battles ot Boonesboro’ and Sharps bnrg, after which it immediately returned to Virginia, where it now is. Thus the fact simply K that the army made a hasty passage through two of the remote counties of the Slat *, name ly : Frederick and Washington, together with Carroll and Alleghany, are well known to con tain nearly the whole of the Union or Black Re puhlican population to be found in Maryland. And yet I will say here, that even in the two cotrotpjn first above mentioned there will be a decided majority cast in favor of the South whenever reasonable time for organization and afree ballot-box shall be secured to the people. I was boru and have lived the greater part of my life in Frederick county, and can speak ad visedly on this sublect. Now, sir, please look at the map of Mary land, consider well the circumstances above briefly alluded to, and say if it was possible for Baltimore city to respond to the proclamation of G* rt. Lee, or the eight counties of the East ern Shore, divided from the western through out their entire length bv the Chesapeake Bay; or the counties of rft. Mary’s, Charles, Prince George’s, Culvert, Anne Atundel, Howard, and Montgomery, all within striking distance of Washington City, with McClellan’s army ad vance to Poolsville; or Biltimore or Hartford counties, within the Federal lines, and beyond the reach of support. Consider that the people of Maryland never had arms or ammunition — that for fifteen monlbs their houses have been searched, and their private arms taken from them—that they have not been permitted to hold meetings, public or private—that they have been completely isolated, and constantly sub jected to the most vigilant espionage—tnat no effort at organization could possibly be made— that in this condition of things our army sud denly appears in a remote portion of the State, and as quickly disappears. Surely, sir, no rea sonable man could expect an uprising of the people of Maryland under such circumstances. Shall we apply to Maryland a less lenient test of loyalty than to New Orleans or Norfolk, or the many towns and districts of the Sou h which have fallen under the Federal dominion ? Shall we judge Frederick and Washington counties more severely than we do the many disaffected counties of Virginia, Kentucky. Tennessee, and other Slates even farther South? Shall we condemn the loyal Srate because it contains a disloyal minority ? No just cr pru dent man say so. I.think I have already said enough to vindicate my unfortunate State. There Is, however, another important view to be considered. It was impossible for the peo ple of Maryland to know whether the entrance of the array was intended to be a mere raid or a substantial occupation for their relief. Gen. Lee’s proclamation was intended to assure them of the latter; but, before it could accomplish that object, military necessities carried the army away. Even, therefore, bad it been in the power of the people to rise, (and I have shown that it was not,) they certainly had a right to know, before doing so, wheth er they would be properly supported in the attempt, W left, unarmed and unorganized to pay the penalty of an abortive effort. We all know that to make such an effort and fall, would be Inevitably to bring down u; u them the redoubled vengeanee of their tyrants, to consigu their leaders to dungeons, to devote their property to confiscation, and to subject their mothers, wives, and daughters to the fame brutal outrages which have marked the career of the Godless invader from the Peninsula of Virginia to the batiks of the Mississippi. Would Virginia or any other Southern Slate have entered upon this revolution without the belief that the whole power of the Confederate Government would be exerted to protect its citizeus ? And yet, Virginia and every other Southern State is quite willing to accept the hazards and calamities of war ; so that, should it be required by military necessity, that a part or even the whole of any one State should be temporarily abandoned in order to secure the triumph of the cause of all, no patriotic State would shrink from the sacrifice, however ter rible. We find ibis illustrated in the revolution of 1776. 1 can entertain no doubt that Maryland would be as willing to submit to such an ordeal as any Stale south of the Potomac. All that she asks is, to be set lree aud admitted into the Southern Confederacy. She wants such an oc cupation of her soil by the Southern army, and lor such a reasonable length ot time as wilt enable her people t.o dissolve their connection with the Federal Government, obtain admission into the Southern Confederacy, and arm and organize her quota of the Couiederute army. I cannot say, in advance of events, what length of time would be required for this purpose ; but, from my knowledge of the zeal aud determina tion of the people! I am sure that they will ac complish it. within a very brief period, it they are effectually relieved from the pressure of Federal power. The proclamation of the Com manding General has tendered that relief, and 1 confidently believe ilia; he will yet afford it, with the blessing ot Almighty God. I hope that the press friendly to Maryland will publish this feeble but heartfelt appeal lor her dowu-troddeu children, and that she may have the sympathy of ail her Southern brethren. Respectfully, E. Louis Lowe. CrsE cf the Money Panic in New Yolk.— Tho Herald offers the following solution of what it terms the “financial wildness” that now pervades the great commercial emporium of the Yankees. As the causes will continue to exist it predicts a continuance and increase of the trouble: In the first place, there was the President’s emancipation proclamation. Them the secret revolutionary meetings of the New England Governors, culminating in the conc±ave at Al toona, which we reported, yesterday, had some thing to do with it. The pause of McCleliau’s army on the Potomac helped it along. The nomination of Wadsworth—a radical aisunion ist—had its weight. The knowledge that there are at least two members of the Cabinet who are practically iu favor of disunion, and zeal ously working tor that object, did not lack its influence. Atl thtse and other similar facts, .-upporting and corroborating each other, led the lame ducks ot Wall street to fear that we could find no escape Irom our present dilemma except in an unexpected prolongation ot the war foryeats instead ot months, or in a speedy and permanent dissolution of this Union. In the uiidst of this gloomy distrust, Mr. Cisco’s otter to receive gold 1 n deposit for the Govern ment at four per cent, interest, frightened our bankers, and the fluttering began.

All the letters irem the Southern coast to the Northern p tpere agree that a bombardment of Mobile hi- oaen determined on. A letter to the New Yoik Times, fir m the fleet near New Orleans, says : Next to Rieiimr ml. Mobile is the most essen tial part to the vitality of the rebellion. With that for our stronghold instead of their ;, Mont gomery on the Alabama river, and Tuscaloosa on the.

It is quite as well, now, to pay some attention to -uch representations. It is certain they have had seventeen mouths in which to get ready. They say they have made a stand at Dog River Bar, on the west side of Mobile Bay, six miles below the city, where they have 6unk obstructions in the channel, driven in piles thickly on the outside of the same, and anchored a line of submarine torpe dos still further out. That inside the obstruc tions they have heavily armed boats, while on the adjacent shore are tier upon tier of earth works, with batteries of rifled cannon. That they have one or two iron clad gunboats, and a powerful side-wheel ocean steamer armed and plated on her bow for “ramming.” But their chief glory is one “bright particu lar” ram, built in avoidance of all the errors of construction discovered too late in its kindred of New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Hampton Roads. To cut short all brilliant and fearful accounts of it, yon may suppose it to be such a piece of iron workmanship and warring pow er, that both Vulcan and Mars would jump at the chance of staking upon it their claims to Deity in these latter days, when they pass for precious old humbugs. How much the foregoing is entitled to con sideration, I don’t pretend to judge. It is the average substance, keeping inside of probabili ty, oi the various representations made tQ us at New Orleans and Pensacola. Yet, considering the immense importance of Mobile to the Southern Confederacy, we may expect to find every diabolical engine of destruction ’which rebel ingenuity can devise and construct thrown into the contest. I may say it is a general be lief in this fleet that we are about to undertake a work, the magnitude and intensity of which is not appreciated at the North. After the ter rific fight in passing the forts below New Or leans, it was very pleasing to be encouraged by papers from home with the supposition that we should have but light work at Mobile.

Robert Battet. From tlte Army In Northern Virginia. Our last advices from our army in N irthern Virginia, and the reported movements of the enemy under McClellan, are of an important character, and such as to create the belief that a great battle is impending, if it has not already occurred. AH reports concur in the statement that the enemy, in heavy force, have crossed the Poto mac at Harper’s Ferry and Shepherdstown, and that our own forces, under General Lee, have taken up a strong position, in which to await the approach of the enemy. The enemy are re presented to be approaching by the turnpike road leading from Harper’s Ferry to Smithtield, in Jefferson county, and from Shepherdstown by way of the Smithtield and Sherpherdstown turnpike. Both of these are tine roads, and leading through the heart of Jefferson county. From Sherpherdstown to smithtield the d'B - is twelve miles, and from Harper’s Ferry to the same point is about fifteen miles. Another account represents tnat, in addition to the forces of the enemy approaching trom Harper’s Ferry and Shepherdstown, a heavy column crossed at Williamsport, and were advancing by way of Martinsburg. This town is twelve miles from Williamsport, and about the 6ame distance from Bunker Hill, a village noted in that section for its extensive flour mills. Banker Hill is ten miles north of Winchester, and five miles west of Smithtield. The country between Bunker “111 and Smithtield is broken and hilly, and for several miles the main Toad runs through heavy pine and oak forests. Nearly midway between these two points the road crosses Opequon Creek, a stream which, in high stsges of water, is scarcely tordable. Bun ker Hill is on Mill Creek, about two miles from Its junction with the Opequon. There is also a country road running from Leestown (between Bhepherdstown and Smith tield) to Banker Hill, which crosses the Ope quou about three miles below the latter point, this road intersects the turnpike from Martins burg to Winchester, abont a mile north of Bun ker Hill. It is more than probable that the c >lumu of the enemy advancing from Shep herdstown will take this route. Bunker Hill, or Mill Creek, as It appears upon the map, is the same point where Gen. Johnston offered battle to the enemy under Patterson, in June, IS6I, our forces remaining in line of battle near ly an entire day, expecting the advance of the enemy from Martinscurg. After our army re tired Patterson occupied the position for several days, passing his time away until the army of the Valley had formed a junction with Beaure gard at Manassas, and participated in the fight of the 2Ut of July. THE YANKEES AT WARRENTON.. It was positively asserted, by passengers who arrived on the Central train last evening, that the enemy’s cavalry entered Warrenton on Monday, and captured a number of our sick and wounded in hospitals at that place, all of whom were paroled. The reliability of this statement we had no means of ascertaining, though we are disposed to believe that it is correct. Death of Major John D. Walker. —A tele graphic despatch was received on the 3d inst., reporting the death of Msj. John D. Walker, who died at Warrenton, Virginia, of wounds received at Manassas. Major Walker was a brother of the gallant Wm. H. T. Walker, and too well known in this community to require any extended notice. He was severely wound ed in the battle ol -Cherubusco, in Mexico; and having entered the Confederate service at the commencement of tne war, he has been in most of the severe and destructive battles fought in Eastern Virginia. His sccial virtues we are sufficiently acquainted wiih, and his military services have proved him to be brave, even to a fault. His death is not only a private bereave ment to family and friends, but a serous loss A the public service. [ Augusts COBfttitatiOUAlitt. The KUllMg Of Bull nefg iii.

Davis turned away, procured a pistol from a friend, and followed Nelson, who was going up stairs. Davis told Nelson to de fend himself, immediately thereon filing. The ball penetrated his left breast, and Gen. Nelson died in about twenty minutes. Gen. Nelson requested to see his old friend, Rev. Mr. Talbot, rector o Cavalry Episcopal Church,who was then at the Gait House. Mr. Talbot ad ministered the sacrament according to the forms ot his Church. The General repeated the service after the minister and refused to talk on any other subject; he regretted that he had not long ago turned his attention to religion, Affairs in Kentucky. The Richmond Dispatch of 2d, says : A Private letter received yesterday by a mem' ber of Congress from Kentucky, states that on .the 14th oi September a band of Partizan Ran* gers, under Col.

The same letter says our forces 1 ave possession of Cumberland river in Southwestern Kentucky, and of the counties of Trigg, Lyon, Caldwell, Christian and The people of Southern Kentucky were flocking to the stand ard of the Confederacy. A late Yankee account says : The news from the West is important. The arrival of Gen. Buell at Louisville bad created intense sensation. His army is encamped at. Shepherdsville, a few miles from the city, and it was reported that he intended to make a dash on Bragg as he advanced upon the place. Bragg was at Bardstown. A despatch from Louisville, dated the 28th, says : Some alarm ensued this aliernonn from artil lery practice in our euburbs, which subsided on learning the cause of the firing. The military officers of the rebel Confederacy rigidly enforced the conscription all around Lexington and other points occupied by the rebels. On Friday, about 500 rebel wagons were seen on the road” from Danville to Lexington, sup posed to be empty, and going in that direction for supplies The msutoon bridge connecting Louisville and Jeffersonville was completed yesterday.

Edward Everett, who deals in fancies, and makes speeches according to rhetoric instead of fact, in a late speech in Massachusetts, said : “There are mary, very many, Ui.ion m- n in South ern States hel l down by the strong baud of arbitrary pow, r, who nail on you, freeman of Massachusetts, to come to iheiraid. In the name of that Union v liich they and jou equ lly cherish I appeal to y u. Go to thei'assistance—relieve them from b n age to a gov ernment they detest, they will welcome your com ing—they will rec ive you with open arms—they will had \ou as deliverers ” Fremont, who has since spoken in the same State, refutes this patent falsehood iu the fol lowing : “ . * * * Nor do I thare in the be ief that there is a large body of Unionists in the South. In my individna expe ioi.ee I have 'oued them ’ew, and in tha progress of the war they have been fast de creasing ” ' In tue whole oi Virginia I do not remember to have met a Union man, and certainly not one Union woman. [Laughter] This element of their strerg'h mast not be underrated. It erves to show how thoroughly the feelings of tho Sou’ll are in this contest, aid leaves n > doubt as to what will be the training of the growing generation. Not oil - were the p. ople not de i;6ua of returning into ihe Union, but they did not entertain the idea in any shape—their only conj ctures were as to the manner in which the sepuratit n wonld be finally effected. I do not think that onr Northern p- ople realize hoy ma y years the South has been preparing for tbis struggle. “A’e are at war with a people who have been edu cat’d to btlieve that they are contending for their liberties; hey are carrying out this contest with unity and determination; their armies have acquired the solidity and consistency of reeul&r troops. To reduce such a rebellion w 11 require the u most exertion of our force and the tin rued.a e use of every advanla. which naturally falls to our 6har*. in the contest. 1 heir deter mtn-dion to obtain success is uncouq erable—to sub due them ihe r designs must bo in-•tie impossible, and the unity which gives Ihtm strength mus. t o ours also. [Cheeis.] For once, Fremont tells the truth. From the Army. The only reliable information brought by the Central ears last evening, was the confirmation of the report circulated in the city Monday, that Warrentou had been occupied by the Yankees, and our sick and wounded at that place taken prisoners and paroled. A number of the pa roled men reached the city last evening by the Central cars. They state that the town was occupied by the enemy’s cavalry on Sunday evening, and that 811 sick and wounded were there at the time of the entrance at’ the enemy, undergoing medical treatment, all of whom were arrested and immediately paroled. General Lee was still at. Winchester, and the enemy reported advancing. In this case, we may hear of a desperate battle Having been fought in that vicinity at any moment. We feel warranted in saying that the most ample arrangement has been made to give the invaders a good old Virginia welcome. A wild rumor was brought into the city, by one of the passengers last evening, and exten sively circulated, to the c-ffect that Lincoln had sent, by flag of truce to General Lee, at Win chester, saying that if the Confederate State* would stop the war, and at once swear alio giance to the United States Government, that the Northern States would pay the whole ex pense of the war incurred by both sections. Of conrse there is no truth iu this report, as neither Lincoln or his Congress could make such a proposition without the consent of the several States, now composing the Union. A proposition of this kind would, at any rate amount to nothing, for no one knows better than Lincoln himself, that it would nut he en tertained by the South for even a moment. [Richmond Enquirer, 2d. The Dispatch of the same date says : We have little to add to our rep rt of yester day with reference to our own and the army of the enemy, now confronting each other in the lower Valtey. There seems to be full confir mation of the statement already published, that the enemy has crossed the Potomac in strong iorce. and tba. he is now menacing the position taken up by the forces under Gen. Lee. Pas sengers who arrived from Staunton last night state that all the recent information received at that point indicates a battle at an early day. Our army is said to have greatly improved in condition since its withdrawal irom Maryland, andls now much stronger than when it crossed the Potomac. The men evince an anxiety to engage the invaders, and little doubt is enter tained of a decided triumph when the grand conflict does occur.

Smith. —ln the recent bloody conflicts in Maryland, Georgia has lost many valuable sons, among them none more entitled to grateful recollections than Col. Levi B. Smith, who was killed while bravely leading his Regiment in battle. He was the late Sena tor from Talbot county, and occupied a distin g is hod tank at the Bar. At one time he was partner o‘ the late Gov. Towns in the practice of law. His abilities and integrity commanded a large practice. No gentleman was more courteous, noue more respected. Popular in his address, and yet devoid of the arts of the demagogue, he was quite a favorite among the mas.-es to whom he was known. In the Legis lature, ho exercised a just and salutary Ivflo enee; never failed to throw light upon any question in which he took part pa the floor.— He was indeed a valuable citizen, and his loss is a greet public misfortune, to say nothing of the grief of his immetliate family and relatives, which is too racred for utterance here. With Bartow, R A. Smith and other heroes from Georgia who have fallen ic defence cf the South, bis name will be immortal.

The defeat of Pope was regarded in England as a most disastrous Federal reverse. A Paris correspon dent believes that Count Mereier has been or dered by the government of Fiance to make a conciliatory attempt to put a stop to the war in America for the sake of iftftiauity. The Paris Patrie looks upon the American war ns “about ovt-r.” JFf.e Constitutionnel says “Europe cannot wait any longer before recognizing the Southern Confederacy.” The London Times says all Europe, enemies as well ns friends of the Confederacy, will yield it admiration. It has “gained a reputation for genius and valor which the most famous na tions may envy.” It opposes reccgaition, however, until the South has both “won and kept its frontiers by its own exertions.” The London Herald (Derby’s organ) urges in terference, if mediation is refused. The Liver pool Courier urges France and England now to interfere. It thinks they can no longer refuse the application (or recognition. The London Globe thinks “revolutionary symptoms are but too apparent in the Federal States.” The news from tbs Continent is unimportant. Garibaldi is worse. The Opinion Nationale, of Paris, Prince Na poleon’s organ, condemns the idea of an eman cipation proclamation for the negroes in antici pation, and in very severe terms, while the Dub lin Freeman’s Journal (a Union paper) points out the inutility of such a measure for the negroes themselves.
