lsL i1aful on American ofirs somewhat irritating

maiuteo every expense the sacred cause o. our ma
tousl CLiou ard constitutional liberty we have night
10 expect the her applause OF nation which has been
for century tie great defender Of this cause IN Europe
And surprise grows into indignation when We see IN such
journals the London Herald not only the position OF
this nation mstated but the for which we are do
ing battle sneersd at.
The New ORR Tunes also complains of the ignorance,
which pervadgs the English people il respect to Ameri
can affairs Those stupid PEG s cannot be made to com-
preheud that an srmy to invade udsuugAe the South
and to e1terminae It's freedom il not lead its inhabitants
is an rmy for tue preservation Of constitutional liberty
Wonderful blindness in the great and free English ma

Well all we have to say is, that the Times and its

Of the American press have had the English ear. We
Of the South have only been known to Ia ope through
the columns Of the Northern papers. They have bad
the whole field 10 heseyes-to say what they please
and without contradiction They have not neglected
their opportunities. They have abused and traduced

tsrce in the game Of Misrepresentation the scales are
falling frou the eyes Of foreign nations They DO rot
I any longer believe the Yankee newspapers. Perhaps
bey have come to suspect the duplciy practised upon
them At any rate they that the Southern States
constitute the only portion OF this continent who are
oRtable consumers Of their manufactures and the pr
ducers of those articles which indispensable to their

nothing which is not produced abundanty and in higher

might be Submerged tomorrow by the Northern ocean,
without being missed or GREETED by any civilized nation
Of the earth.
l. is this knowledge which circumstances and endan-
gered interests have forced upon the Epgih people,
which ucu:rslzes Yankee ialsohoois Whether the
Bish Government keeps pace With the EneIsh press
in lis kuoulcd,e time must determine. If we may
credit tae statement imputed to Lord John Russell that
II, Confederate States must be recognized belize
rents the Government IS fully abreast with the press.
For our part, while hope Eaglani may consult her
true interest: in this co-ancure feel that possess
