The RECoGNITIoN OF THE SOUTHERN COyFFDER4CT
BY GREAT BRITAIN.-Two gentlemen lrom Charleston
just from England, passed through our city On y@tg
day route for home. Both OF them are well known
to US, and we can place the fullest reliance on their
statements. One of them bears dispatches from our
Commissioners in Europe, to Bresidnt Davis-ol then
contents, of course he processes no knowledge Atva
rious points from Quebec to the line of rhs Southern
Confederacy, this gentleman was often searched but
Lncolnites failed to find the dispatches, which were
most arttully concealed we know where, but Think it
imprudent to let the secret out.
Upon the recognition Of cur Government, acd
raising the blockade, our Charleston friends @E
there is not doubt upon the mind OF any one in Eng
land. A large number OF merchants were there to1
the South, all of whom made heavy purchases to be
paid for when the goods were safely delivered to en-
signees in the ports of The South Our readers ma! Il

OFF Fort MACoN.--Ofical informal ion received here
states that four of the enemys fleet had anchored off
Fort Macon by o'clock on last Saturday evening
Nothing later has been heard from that point.
1t is evident that the Federal Navy keeps lowering
along our coast and we can hardly say where it may
attempt to make descent Our people in this section
had better be on the alert Ten hours steamDg would
put them of our immediate shores or in front of our
batteries and forts 1t is true that probably their four
vessels of Macon have not sufficient number of troops
On board if they have any, to attempt landing, but
who knows but others may soon join them?

advertising columns of the immaculate Herald are made

We HAVE for the present, at least, said about all we
intend to say in reference to the conduct of the auhori-
ties charged with the defence of coast We have
no desire to hunt anybody down, even if supposed
that we possessed the power to do So and this power
are far from arrogatiDg to ourselves. There little
no doubt we suppose that in regard to appointments,
all the members of the Military Board ought to be held
equally responsible In regard to other matters there
is as little doubt that the Military Secretary was, to-
wards the close of Governor Ellis fe virtually Cover
nor and Commander-in-chief What errors Of judgment
may have been committed from causes likely to misead
any person or persons we hardly know. We recollect
one thing, however, that dwet on with considerable
pertinacty and that re protection of New Inlet,
where for weeks sing c1upany averaging not more
than 35 to 40 men duty placed behind the breast
works of Bowles Battery without single where
with to defend themselves the inlet and this company
was the only stationed the coast north of the
Cape Fear River between New Inlet and Old Topsail
Inlet, which is the entrance to Beaufort Harbor. A
good deal of feeling got up in certain circles against
account of our pertinacity THEY'VE were alarm
ts-panc-strcken and we know not what. Will
anybody say that that defence sufficient? The mil
tary authorities knew all about it. at least they were
told of it, and they got angry.
Again, OF the sent from Gopor to this State
not n eight sent to this section of the coast and
of the few sent, still fewer any account. 1t will
not do to charge that to the Confederate authorities for
the disposal of the guns then certainly with the
State authorities.
Bat we nearly through. The thing will soop be
wrapped up like mummy in swathings of words, and
we will be lucky if we escape proscriptiOn-and punish
ment for our audacity. There is esprit dw corps
among professional politicians of all parties, and they
apt, later, to join forces against any of the
unanointed who may happen to intrude their unbaow-
ed curiosity who in the words of the great poet rush

General Butler has gone to Boston, been gone some

He has gone and done it. He has captured Hatteras

Thompson, the hero of Deep River. We are not Ger
tain whether he took Thompson or not We have no
hard feelings against anybody, but matter of
omy we confess we think the State could without loss
yea verify, with profit, have spared Mr.. Thompson and
SEINE others before the Deen River affair and this be-
ing the case we think that Mr.. Thompson, being pa
tro owed to himself and to his country to be prompt
y taken at Hatteras. But human nature is weak, and
perhaps even duty failed to assert its power and captu-
ration may be still unsought, nay, avoided by that
great sack-w water engineer

On the face of it looks bad and really fear that the

ticklish business. Mr. Thomas is the gentleman of

J. W. THOMAS, the Principal of the Glenn Anna Fe-
male institute, located at Thomasville, n. c. and also
member of the Senate of North Carolina, who has
lust returned from hurried visit in the Northern States
had brought with him. notes and accounts against our
merchants which he has purchased or taken agent,
to collect in violation of both State and Confederate
laws and that he is engaged in dunning and gath
ering up funds from our people to both give aid and
comfort to our enemies and put money in his pocket
One of the letters has been sent to Senator, Mr.
Walker in order that he may bring the affair before the
Senate and hope that that conservative and dgni-
fed branch of our Legislature will take the matter in
hand and deal with Mr. Thomas in the most rigid man
ner, for if who sit in high places allowed to
violate law, themselves being members of the body who
make laws, we should not condemn those more humble
in life who set law at defiance and aid the invaders of
