Col. RonER1 LINCOLN ANDERSON The
Montgomery Post, referring to Col. Andcr
sons speech in Philadelphia, says:.
We arc firm believer in the acts of Prov
idcnce, mud agree with Anderson that every
act performed from the Goth of December,
has been regulated by Providence We be.
licvc that the secession of South Carolina, the
turning back of The Star of tho West, the
preparations made for tho defence of our hur
Dor and the final capture of Fort Sumter
were all regulated by Providence but we
cannot believe that lie had anything to do
with dismantling Fort Moultrie. with the
cowardly midnight rctrcnt into Fort Sumter
with the attempt to reinforce that Fort, or
with the planting Of Columbiads pointing to
the City Of Charleston. Our opinion of
Providence paccs Him far above such mat
tcrs as Anderson seems to think were rcgua
ted by Him.
We admire a religious man, and above all
| things we admire and respect religious sol
dier, but we do think that Anderson has tried
little too hard to prove to tho world by
words, not deeds, thut he belongs TO that
class. lie has played so often upon ga harp
with thousand strings" that VIC think it is
nearly "playcd out"
| EXECUTION OF RICHARD WnITE.-This
unfortunate man suffered the extreme penalty
OF the law to-day, ut twenty minutes past one
o'clock. He seemed perfectly resigned to his
fate; expressed forgiveness towards all man
kind, and asked the same from man and God
He was attended by Bishop Lynch and the
| Rev. Mr.. Moore. of the Catholic clergy, who
administered to him the last sad rites of the
church.
When the hour for execution arrived. at
the proper signal. the weight dropped, but
owing to some arrangement of the noose the
rope slipped from his neck, and the prisoner
fell distance of about two feet to the ground
The second attempt was more successful, and
he died without struggle.

D"WY Nrws, in an article on the foreign re-
cognition Of our Confcderacy. says:
There is an argument which is likely to
be urged upon the English by Mr.. Yanccy
and his associac Commissioners, sent out by
the new Confedcracy to Europe which seems
to us to possess considerable weight and it is
this: The Grown of England, in tho treaty
OF peace nlnde with her rcvoted American
Colonies, on the Sd Of September 1888, and
which terminated our Revolutionary War,
recognized the Independence of New Hamp.

Confederacy, but as each distinct and sover-

unlcnt. The questions may be asked, docs
the fact that these with ether States. hnve
since combined IL. der federal head, preclude
Great Britain from again recognizing one or
more of them individually on receiving no
tlcc OF their having determined to scccde or
withdraw Will it not rather be insisted
that Great Britain, having by treaty once re-
cogn cd South Carolina for instance rs an
independent State, is bound now to take no
ticc OF the resumption OF her independence /?
!" So also of France. Our treaties with
Louis XVI, made by franklin during the
Revolutionary struggle, contain the same Ian
