ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIAN.
(Via Greencastle.)
NEW YORK, Nor.ll, Evmac.
The report of Sherman's mcvement from Atlanta
towards the Atlantic seaboard is reiterated.

General Ewell has superseded Early. It is
stated be will assume the offensive.
A bill has been introduced into the Confederate
Congress enlisting all white men between 18 and
45, and revoking all exemptions.
The gunboat Sassacuo has chased the Tallahassee
to Wilmington. When last seen the Tallahassee
WAS inside the line of the blockaders off the North
Carolina coast. Her capture was considered
probable.

The report of the Canadian steamer Georgians
having been fitted out as a privateer is denied.
The Confederate Congress has re-assembled.
The speech delivered by President Davis on the
occasion was defiant in tone. Re favourably
reviews the military, financial, and material situa-
tion of the country. Foreign relations are un-
changed. President Davis maiden the disregard of
recognition by European nations as remarkable,sinoe
the French and English governments had long since
expressed their conviction that the United States
were unable to conquer the Confederacy. Two
years since the French government announced to
the London and St. Petersburg Cabinets its con-
clusion that the United States were unable to
achieve a decisive military success, and the re-
plies of England and Russia intimated no con-
trary opinion. Neutrals seek to palliate the wrong
of non-recognition, by professing to consider that
recognition would be valueless without further in-
tervention.

The South disclaims any desire for intervention,
and mistrusts its advantages. It seeks no favour,
and wishes no intervention. It knows itself com-
petent to maintain its rights and independence.
England, in 1862, refused recognition on the ground
that any action of the British government would
inflame the passions of the belligerents, and prevent
the return of peace.•Experience(lontinues President
Davis) shows this opinion to be erroneous, as the
result is the reverse of what the British ministry
humanely desired. A contrary policy, just to the
South, is still within the power of the British govern-
ment, and would produce consequences the opposite of
those which have followed its course since the com-
mencement of the war. Peace was impossible with-
out independence. It was not to be expected that
the North would anticipate the neutral powers in
the recognition of the independence of the South.
History would be unable for those reasons to ab-
solve the European nations from a share in the
moral responsibility for the unnecessary lives
that had been sacrificed during the war.
The government adequately provides for a foreign
loan if only rated sixpence in the pound. Presi-
dent Davis recommends the government to pur-
chase the slaves it employs, engaging to give them
freedom at the termination of their service, rather
than impressment for a short period. He also sug-
gests that the number of slaves employed by the
government be increased to 40,000, and employed
as engineers, labourers, and pioneers. This
number, by preparatory trainirg, will form a
more valuable reserve, in case of emergency,
than a larger number suddenly called from
field labour. Beyond this limit and these employ-
ments it does not seem desirable to go. The Pre-
sident disapproves of a general levy and arming of
the slaves ; but should the alternative be presented
of subjugation or the employment of slaves as
soldiers no doubt exists what would then be his
decision. The South was willing to negotiate for a
peaceful solution, but the Federal government ex-
pressed its determination to make no peace except
on terms of Southern submission and degradation,
leaving no hope for the cessation of hostilities until
the Northern delusion of ability to conquer the
South is dispelled.
