Foreign RecognitiOns of che Rebel
Government.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
AS much as We should deplore such an ac-
cesson OF power as would surely accrue to
the Rebel cause ia recognition OF the South
ern Confederacy by England and France,
We wish to correct misconception which
prevails in many minds. Such a chance
should be examined cooIy and dispassion-
ately.
Many think that our Government has
the right to require of foreign powers to
withhold this recognition that if they dare
to recognize, 1t is casus bell, and that we
must at once precipitate ourselves into a
irighttul ioreign war and stand in the case
OF Horatlus, when the bridge over the
IIber was gone:
Thrice thirty thousand foes before.
And the broad flood behind"
Not the Iiber indeed. but wider flood,
which the imagination peoples with iron
bound frigates, passing Fort Hamilton and
Fort Laiayettee--as unscathed as Les
viathan, when pistol balls glance from his
thick skin--and laying the proud metrcpo.
lis of Gotham in ashes. Others laughing at
the Pea Patch and Fort Mfflin, would
burn Philadelphia and place heap of
ruins where every thing is now thrift, ele
gance and comfort. Far be those days and
deeds removed; such attempts are not the
necessary nor probable results of the recog
milton.
These are great errors. The English
and French might recognize the rebels to-
morrow and we should remain towards
them in the same relation and attitude. We
have, indeed, right-or thought we had
to count upon their sympathy, and their de-
sire that the rebellion should be crushed

DEAR Journal Il have not written
you since leaving Prescott because | had
nothing particularly interesting to relate.
The boys all took the oath for three
years or during the war with a deafning
hurra. There are now lO2 men in the
company, as good and as brave fellows
as were ever collected together. They
have their uniforms complete, consisting
of blue cloth cap, coat and oyercoat,
pants, two pairs drawers, two shirts, two
pairs socks, shoes, (sewed,) cap covers,
blanket and india rubber covers. The
bows are pleased with everything but
their guns, which are old muskets for all
but companies A. and K, which have
Minnie rifled muskets. The boys will be
paid off o-day for the period that they
served the State, which will average
about SIS each. Recruits are coming in
every day, and the regiment now lacks
only about IS or so men to fill i, to the
maximum number.
Orders were read this morning to the
officers by the Col. from the Governor,
ordering the regiment to march hence
for Louisville, KY, on Thursday of this
week, but the Col. said that be could not
possibly move sooner than Saturday, and
| believe we shall leave on Sunday next.
Judge E. A. Clapp, now Sergeant in
the Hudson Guards, 4th regiment, called
at our camp this forenoon. He looks
well and enjoys his occupation finely.
Several of our boys have been quite
i'll, but all are now getting well except l..
B. Bickford, who was this day discharged
on the ground of general debility. He
will return tonight.
have never been more busily engaged
in my life than since l came into this
camp. Captain S. and Lieut.. V. are
both absent. and it consequently throws
everything upon me, and you had better
believe that my hands are full. You can
not imagine the almost numberless things
to do and little articles to furnish in fit
ting out and equipping the regiment to
get it off in the short time allotted.
The Col. put us through mock bat
tie yesterday ON double quick, at charge
boyonet. At the command "charge
bayonet'' the boys gave the war whoop
and went in. 1t was grand thing
The Governor will review the regiment
tomorrow. The 10th regiment goes
with US. Allare very anxious to 60 and
get after the rebels at once.
ANY one wishing to write to any one
of our company should address the per-
son, Co. F. Wis. VOL, Louisville, KY
I will write again soon.

With the Coming Times applause.

Past distinctions giving DER:
Weare one till war is ended,
Though we've differed heretofore.
No dispute who mans the rudder,
Cavil not who climbs the mast.
While the thunders round US rattle
While thare's death in every blast.
On our lee the surf is breaking,
Hear We not the spllen roar?
And the wrecker's mOcking laughter
Comes, like echoes. from tbs shore.
Perish every Creed and Party,
While the rebel flag IS near,
TIL the good ship Constitution,
Stands out in the offing clear.
Til the flag our fathers gave Us,
Floats in sovereignty and might,
and these lurid clouds that bind US,
Pass ike hOrrid dreams at night.

Death of Col. Baker !
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
Gen. Stone crossed the Potomac this
morning, with one portion of his com
mand at Edwards Ferry and the other
at Harrison Island. Skirmlshing began
between the enemy in uncertain numbers
and part of Gen. Stones command as
early as nine o'clock in the morning, and
continued without much effect until five
o'clock P. NJ, when large reinforcements
of the enemy appeared upon our right,
which was commanded by Col. Baker.
The Union forces engaged were about
1900, and were attacked bv a force sup
posed to be from 5000 to 5000. At
this iuncture, Col. Baker fell at the head
of his brigade, while gaauty cheering
on his men to the conflict. Immediately
before he tell, he dispatched Maj. Young
to Gen. Stone, to apprise him at Lees
burg, of the condition of affairs and
Gen. Stone Immediately proceeded in
person towards the right, to take COM
mand, but in the confusion created by the
fall of Col. Baker, the right wing sus-
tanned n repulse with considerable loss.
Gen. Stone reports that the left wing
retired in good order. He will hold the
approaches thereto. Strong reinforce
nents will be sent forward to Gen. Stone
during the night.
The remains of Col. Baker were re-
moved to Poolsvlle and will be brought
to this city on Wednesday.

The enemy charged from the woods i'll
all directions, conyerging upon our force
They were bravery met, but the slaughter
of our best officers and men was so ter
rible, that the Federals were Mt last oblig-
cd to retreat.
Col. Baker, it is said was prominent
mark for the enemy's bullets. He was
struck by ball in the heart; four times
in various parts of the body, and three i'll
the head. When be was killed he was
on horseback and dressed in full uniform
1t is said that one hundred Mississippi
rifles were aimed at him when he fell.
Col Baker made his will on Saturday
last, and deposited it with Col. Webb.
When he left, he said to the latter; 81
shall participate in battle in 40 hours.
If l fall, l request that you take charge
