Tie Augusta C0astiutioaelisi, Of the 18th
ult, publishes d letter from a ommerciathous
in Liverpool to a gentleman in that city, which
states that "theTe are no limitations Of any
Intervention whatever on the part Of the Eng
lsh government TO interfere ia the blockade Of
the southern ports" and thstthe policy OF that
government will be to look to ether sources
than tb4 Southern Confederacy for its supply
Of cotton.
This statement our cOtemporary thinks may
be correct, as it comes from a mouse Of high
standing in Liverpool, but a different oFinion
seems TO be entertained in official circles in
Richmond.
We are, perhaps, too much interested, as he
C0asltaij0Haiisf observes, il tie recognition
OF our Coafedsracy by foreign governments.
we should rather rely more upon our own Ts-
Eources, and our own ability to maintain the
Independence which We have declared, Than
upon any assistance at the bands Of European
powers. They viii not, We think, recognize
Us as a nation until we force guch arecogBitioa
at the esnnon's mouth sEd at The point CT the
bsyonet from the government at Washington.
Ittbey should do SO earlier, however, it viii be
because their commercial and msnuf5ctural in
terestg imperstiveiy demand tit Will be be-
cause the Efforts which they are making to
open and establish new cotton producing re-
gions have sjgusiiy faiied-snd because their
cotton warehouses arc empty AID their cotton
manufactures idle.
We should not, therefore, build any very
gsest hopes upon The early recognition Of our
C0nfedsrscy by foreign nations but we should
await patiently TIE dawn Of that deg which
shall witness our independence acknowledged
b. the government Of the United States. Then
the recognition by the other governments will
speedily follow.
e The Tumors relating to an attempted
raid by a Lincoln horde OF $4,000 vandals
upon our southern coast at Brunswick, Ga,
are not without plausible probability. That
The expedition win meet wi.h z warm recep-
ton, is mere certain. Governor B5oEn and
General Lawton have bad their eyes on tie
strategic points Of the coast for some time,
and what they have done in reference to such
proposed visits, wid be known when the arrival
lakes place. We have 10 doubt tie reports
from that quarter will be only su-h reports as
can be caused by the right sort OF guns ia the
right place, served by the right sort Of srtil-
~lerists. L will be no Hatterss al air.
e The Richmond Dapatch Of the 24th
states that the business Of toe Patent Office
bas increased so Rapidly that the apartments
hitherto occupied are altogether too circum.
scribed, and the Office win be removed to more
commodious rooms in the third story Ct the
Government building on Ninth street. The
Office IS now self-sustainiag, a fact which
shows that The South is not lacking in invent
i've resources, which the war has had the good
effect OF bringing to light. A considerable
proportion Of the applications ere for improve
ments in firearms and proJsctiles, though there
are ma0y Inventions, both iHgsnius and ugefaL

its last session, passed a bill directing The
Public Treasurer to issue treasury notes to the
amount Of 81 ,OO0, 600 az soon as possible, in
sums ranging from sIC0 TO 5 cents. Tie
Convention did not authorize the issue Of
these notes until tie FIRST Of March, for The
reason tba- TIE constitution Of the Provision
al government prohibits the States from is-
suing bills OF credit. The Pe5nanen. coDs;i-
