ENGLAND TO RECOGNIZE THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERACY-
PROBABLE EUROPEAN INTERVENTION.
From the " 2. Express Of Thursday ereningl
The news from Toronto to-day, that the British
Government intends to acknowledge the indepen
dence of the Southern COnfederacy soon as it is
regularly organized and makes application in due
diplomatic form, creates profound sensation in
the city.
The journal which makes this announcement
the Toronto Leader-is high official authority,
and of its correctness in this case the most ineli
gent of our people here do not appear to have any
doubt.
The General Convention of the Cotton States, il
will be remembered, assemblies at Montgomery
Ala, on the 4th of February, month in advance
of Lincoln's Inauguration. The programme is, to
organize a Provisional Government at once, with
President, Vice President, etc.. and then despatch
ambassadors to England and France for recognition
as an independent power, so as to be ready for con
sequences, whatever they may be, under the Re
publican regime, by March 4th.
The cautious and very diplomatic speech of the
+ British Premier, at the Southampton inner, or
the 9th, strongly adverse to 'coercion''-now un
questonably means much, in this come ctiOn-
and the meaning may be vention-beside:
another's throats, and blowing one another's brains
out.
Mr.. LINcoLN's GRorHER-IN-LAw AN ALABAMA voLUN
TEER.
A letter from Alabama published in one of thu
New York journals says that Mr.. c. White,
broher-in law of President Lincoln, has joined the
Alabama Volunteers and accompanied the force
that went to take Fort Morgan. The same letter
thus speaks of the fidelity of the slave population
The organs of the Abolitioniss latter themselve
that they will find an ally amongst our black popu
ation but they will be deceived, as John Brown
was at Harper's Ferry. There is a peculiar at
tachment between master and servant, aud it vii
show itself when put to the test. Negroes have
never been known to be more subordinate than a
present. and the intelligent ones say they wOulC
like to be put in front of the battle to meet the foes
of the South.
THE BROOKLYN ORDERED on SECRET SERVICE.
The Norfolk Day Book of Thursday says:
The United States steamer Brooklyn, Captain
Walker, which has been lying in Hampton Road
since her last cruise which in itself bears some re
semblance to the march that certain French KIM
once made, has received orders for sea, and he
| officers were to be on board by twelve o'clock to
| day. Where il she ordered Echo answers
| Where She is not we.surmse, ordered to re
vive try the enforcement of the Star ofthe Yves
| game. Mol Her destination is, beyond a doubt
! Pensacola, and ere long may expect to hea
that the Land of Flowers (or at least that part o
| has been converted into a charnel-house.
| Since the above was written, we have been in
| formed that two companies of United States Artil
ery, under Captains Vogdess and Langhorn, hav
| gone on board the Brooklyn from Fortress Monroe
and are fully equipped for actual service. Theil
destination is unknown, but it is generally believed
| that they are en- route for Pensacola.
