Foreign Recognition of the Confederate
States.


The New York Journal of Commerce, OF
Noyember 23d, thus clearly sets forth the
present position Of the rebel States, and the
absurdity of the suppOsition that either
England or France is likely to recognize
their independence
Let us now observe the position of the Gov
ernment in regard to these States which ask
foreign recognition. Beginning with virginia,
! II is not only abuudantly manifest that we not
only possess a considerable portion OF the soil
! of that State, but we are undeniably masters OF
! all her means Of foreign intercourse ANY for
eion Government desiring to communicate with
her can do 50 only by passing under our forts
and across inland waters which are the properly
and in possession Of the Government al W aSh-
ington. ,,,
Next we have North Carolina, where we hold
the seacoast and inlets, with the same result
ing facts.
South Carolina, next, is no longer able to
boast of the entire suspension Of United States
authority on her soil. Her richest county is IN
our possession, and her finest harbor. One OF
her towns, at least, and many Of her planta-
tions are under Federal sway, while her city,
beleaured on the he'seaside, and trembling at the
near spprOach Of the Federal armies on the
land, is hardly a Capital to be regarded IN Eu-
rope, or anywhere, as the seat OF power to be
recognized as an established national exist
ence.
Georgia alone, Of the seaboard States, is for
the present in the entire possession Of the re-
volt. But Savannah is much more seriously
threatened than even Charleston by the occupa-
tion of Port Royal, and, unless we greatly err,
it will not be many weeks before either Savan-
nah, Brunswick or Fernandina, and possibly all
three ports, will yield to the fleet which has al
ready captured the strong position at Hilton
Head.
In Florida we hold the keys Of the Gulf, Key
West and the Tortugas, with force on Santa
Rosa Island, at the mouth of Pensacola harbor,
which only waits the order to seize on the Navy
| Yard and reOccupy all that the United States
Government has any need to possess in that
State.
Alabama has a port, in Mobile, which is eff
fectually sealed up by our blockade, while the
possession of Ship Island may be regarded as
the entire seacoast Of Mississippi for all prae-
tical purposes.
The mouth of the Mississippi river is held by
our navy, and the bank of the river, at the
head of the passes, is occupied by notifications
in our possession; so that Louisiana can only
be reached by our permission, while Texas,
with long line of coast, is wholly at our mer-
cy, and is not occupied simply because it is of
no Importance to us under present circumstan-
ces to do so, when men and force can be better
employed elsewhere.

NF,se.oN OF THE "SToNE FLEET. The
Navv Department no longer makes secret OF
~ .ct that the "stone feet which recently
ieft Eastern ports was ordered to sail direct 70
the barbors of Savannah and Charleston' ior
the the nurnose of sinking the stone-laden hulks

little doubt that by this time those ports nave

terence bv European Powers. The main snip

which the rivers bear down, and OF the SANDS
which the tides carry back. There is natural
tendency in such ports 70 form obstructons,
and within few weeks time bars Will nave

citv win spring up at Beaufort, which must
take the place and trade of both the once proud
and prosperous cities Of Charleston and Savan-
nah. It must be confessed that the siege OF
Sumter has been nobly avenged-ayenged, TOO,
after no vulgar fashion-but still avenged most
fearfuIly. Probably Forts Sumter and Moui-
trie will not much longer be considered worth
fighting for" and we may expect their Voluhta-

OvERPLows.- California Farmer en-
deavors to console the farmers, who have
lost SO heavily by the loss OF their stock,
the sweeping away of their fences, ETC., in
the late foods, by telling them that the
overilows will greatly enrich their lands.
We are informed that the Overaows have
contrary effect the large quantities of sand
and granite tailiOgs carried down from the
mountain streams, instead Of enrichlng, are
destructive Of the soil. The richest bottom
lands on Bear river, the Yuba, and Feather
river, have been ruined by the overfiows.

AN ADVANCE ON MANASSAS EXPECTED
Simonton, the Washington correspondent OF
the Bulletin, in a letter of November 10th,
says the impression continues TO gain ground
there, that McClellan's grand effort will be
directed at Manassas. There The rebels are
the strongest, and if broken there, the rebel
lion will be virtually at an end. II is i'm
possible in Eastern Virginia to bring such
an army as Mcclellan commands into action
at once in the same field, and ii seems prob
able. therefore, that while he will throw
out powerful armies on each flank, be VIII
seek the rebel center with bis best troops.
In order to get the advantage to be derived
from great numbers on limited field, be
will not subject single column to the work
Of fighting out the battle, but viii! press
forward fresh column alter column TO take
the place of those who have become exhaus-
ted, until the quick succession OF vigorous
blows shall have accomplished the end IN
view, aud compelled the fall of the rebel
works. The assault would thus be made on
such scale that the defeat of one division
would not materially affect the result. The
defeat Of The rebels at Manassas, where
their strongest force is centered, would do
more towards crushing the rebellion than
City victories in Kentucky and Missouri.

MONDAY EVENING, DEC. 80, 1861.

The MAILs.-The interruption OF the
mails during the late freshets, has been a
serious inconvenience to the citizens of Me-
yada county. During all the last week not
a Sacramento stage reached Nevada, but
for several days the Sacramento Postmaster
continued TO forward the mails to Lincoln.
though be must have known the stages were
rot running above that place. On Friday
morning. the Nevada mail was sent by way
of MarysviIle, and reached here on Satur-
DAY evening. Had the present Sacramento
Postmaster done as his predecessor used to
do when there was any interruption on the
direct route, and sent the mails by Marys.
vile, only one mail would have been de-
tanned on the way, and the citizens of this
comfy would have had their papers and
letters regularly. But the most outrageous
case of official Indifference to the public
wants. that we ever heard Of, occurred at
the Marysville Office yesterday morning.
Mr. Doty, the stage driver, went to the Post
Office for The Nevada mail, aud although
there we're five bags of mail matter for this
county, put up and ready TO be thrown on
the stage, the Postmaster refused TO let them
90, because 10 ,Oas Sunday. We admire piety
when regulated by common sense, but like
all good qualities it is liable to be carried
to extremes, and then becomes q vice. The
most pious man we ever knew was horse
thief; and though we do not purpose to draw
any "odous comparison" we cannot help
thinking that the Marysville POSTMASTER has
reached that degree of pieiy that will bear
watching.

IMPORTANT, ~ TRUE.-A late 81. Louis
dispatch Gays the Government has issued
orders not to permit any more steamers TO
depart for Europe, This intelligence, II
true, Ia important, and indicates that our
relations with European powers are Of q
more threatening character than has gener-
ally been supposed. The dispatch, giving
this report, was dated at St.LOuis on the 23d
inst but dispatch dated at Quincy. on

and no mention is made of such an order

TERRIFIcALIY CLAss1cAL.-The reporter

TERRIFIcALLY CLAssIcAL.-The reporter
of the San Francisco Mirror, whose imagina-
ton must be of the most elastic character, went
to see the great ten mile trot between "Gen.
Taylor" and ''W. H. Seward" and he grows
thus classical over the appearance OF the trot-
ting horses: AS they left the score, "Whitey"
reminded us by his general appearance Of the
Grecian Gray, mentioned in Homer, as driven
around the walls Of Troy by Achilles, with the
dead body Of Hector at his heels, while Seward
brought wildly before our minds eve the vel
vet,coated chestnut described by Tacitus, as the
of leader of Boadicea's scythe-armed chariot,
IN the great battle in which the British queen
was captured 6y the Romans, after spreading
death and devastation among their ranks.

EASTERN ITEMs.--A st. Louis dispatch to
the San Francisco Herald and its associates,
Of Dec, Esd, has the following:
Lieutenant General Scott has returned from
Europe on the steamer Arago, just arrived.
Orders have been issued from Washington
not to permit any American steamers to depart
for Europe.
In the opinion of the Secretary of State,
there is no utimatnm fixed in the communica-
ton Of Lord Lyons relative to the Trent affair;
therefore there is ample room to settle all dis
putes by diplomacy.

pected that the tunnel will be finished in about
six years. Its principal objects will be to ce-
