The Lincoln FIag at lho CITY Hotel

We are requested to ssy-as this Trophy has ex-
cited good deal of interest among our citizens
that it was taken on the 18th of October from the
Lincolnite transport ship, the "Fairfax," by the
Transport Batteries on the Potomac. The vessel
was abandoned by her crew, in front of Battery
No. l, Ship Point which was and still is manned by
the "Maury Rifles" Capt. J. G. ANDERSON. That
Battery consists of four Dahlgren guns, 9S.poun-
ders. The nag of the Maury Rifles, presented to
them, in Msy last, by the young ladies of the Co,
lumbia Athen@lm, is planted on Battery No. 1,
and the boys on taking possession of the vessel,
resolved to send her cslors to be preserved in the
Study Hall of the AtheuWum. The big ball that
blotted out several of the stars has improved the
annearance of the faR.

RecOg uitIOn of the Southern COnfederacy

Recognition of the Southern COnfederacy
We clip the following item from the commercial
column of the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 2Sth of
October
In regard to Liverpool provision trade, letter
from one of the most extensive houses in that city,
to their correspondent here. says, matters do not
present favorable future. The civil war in Amer
ica and the i'll success of the Federal army with
probability of q recognition of the South by the
European powers postponing the war to an indef-
mite period if such an act would be the means Of
engaging the North in q war with England, have a
tendency to depress the market; and the prospects
for speculative feeling equal to LAST season are not
at all fattering Cautiousness will be the motto by
which they will be din ected. The letter closes with
the advice to their agent here not to engage in the
purchase of hogs till he hears from them for the
probability WAS on the day he wrote Oct 5, that
England would soon, perhaps before the sailing of
the next steamer, recognize the Southern Confede
rScy. and the effect that the move would have on
the North, not being definitely known in Liverpool
among the business community, extreme careful
ness for the present particularly urged In
confirmation Of the condition of the market as set
forth above, we were shown two letters from Irish
provision houses in many different points 10
