RETURNING REASON IN ENsLASD.-There are
signs that the English public is at last beginning
to understand that an attempt to get cotton by re-
cosnizing the Southern Confederacy would be
only jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
The Liverpool Post remarks:
Some people in Great Britain might consider
that an alliance with France in this business
would be wrong, and, ultimately, hazardous
one. North America, made desperate by an un-
wonted interpretation, might resolve to make war
to the knfve rather than submit to European die
tation. She beat Great Britain In the Revolution
when her population was little more than three
millions She literally compelled Us to make peace
In 1873, when she could not number ten millions
OF people. She can now, without including the
south, boast Of population Of twenty five or
twentY-siI millions. These are formidable num-
bers to contend with at an ocean distance of 2 OOO
miles The war with the North would, while IL
lasted, De tar more detrimental than the present
civil war Is; for alth ough we could obtain the
cotton Of the South, we could obtain no sale in the
States for our manufactures. The Secessionists
compared with the Cnionists would be very bad
customers.

NEW Books From Philip L solomons we
have a curious work, entitled National Hymns.
How They Are Written, And How They Are Not
Written A Lyric And National Study For The
Times" By Richard Grant white. New York ::
Budd 4 Carleton. This publication gives an
amusing account Of the fluctuations and perplexi-
ties Of the late committee upon the $500 prize "Na
tional Hymn advertised for per contract by
some patriotic souls) and In the same connection
has something to say on the subject Of National
Hymns generally. The committee seem to have
encountered some queer customers among the
competitors fer the prize. A Hudson-river aspi-
rant sent the following, with the intimation that
the prize money could be sent to the author al
Albany:
"a NATIONAL HYMN.
"All hail our country great,
May she never falter;
But every darned Secessoust
Be hung up by halter"
The best contribution offered was by Richard
Storrs Willis, "a brother to N. p. willis,) and
there were others Of much merit, but none that
fulfilled the conditions required for National
Hymn.
The book is published In fine style, but has for
q frontispiece the figure Of a female with left
leg Of most singular proportlons;-however, as
the plate bears the legend "Paul De La Roche
pink" a. the left hand corner, we suppose 1t is
all right.
From Hudson Taylor, 1874 Pa. avenue, we have

A responsible and Trustworthy Union man, long a
resident Of Charleston, and who bias lad unusual
opportunities TO learn the exact condition Of things IN
South Carolina, left that city recently. He furnishes
with some valuable information on the state Of
affairs in that part Of the South, which we condense
First IL is certain that the blockade il frequently, if
not constantly, violated at Charleston, not only by
the inland channels 10 Ediso, ST. Helena and other
inlets but mainly by the Mafit, northern channel
OF Charleston harbor. They are certain OF twelve
feet Of water by this channel and the blockadng
feet lies in the main ship channel, some six
miles southwark from Fort Sumter, ships too
far from the Northern channel 10 pursue the rebel
vessels successfully.
The privsteer Gordon came In by this channel
early in the Summer, at midday, and went out the
same way on Oct. IL, with Mason and Shdell ON
board. She has since come In by the Edisto Inlet
and inland route, and now lies at Charleston. With
in few weeks the brig West Indian, with naval
also with naval stores, the new
schooner Gen. Ripley, with rice with others Of less
note, have gone out by the same channel. The
Nashville also went on Oct. %, taking a crowd Of
naval officers and cadets FOR the offering Of prizes
or priyateers, if any could be caught engaged to
set as privateers.
The steamer Isabel Is now thoroughly fitted up,
loaded with near 1000 bales Of cotton, end lies IL
Ashley River ready to run the blockade at the frft
opportunity aud The schooner Prince of Wales Is
also loading with cotton FOR the same purpose. Evil
IDENTIFY something must be done with this Msiiit
Channel, il there Is TO be blockade at all.
Al to the Confederate forces On the coast Of South
Carolina, there three regiments from North Car
Dina, with battalion Of artillery, aud five to eight
South Carolina Regiments on tie RAILROAD toward
mainly At Cocsswhatchie. With the
Georgia troops, thers are in all about 1900 men
within easy reach OF Beaufort and OF HilIon Head
Island. Most Of the South Carolina troops, number
ng 10 regiments, are still in Virginia.
At Charleston there il Col. OrTs regiment on Sal
ivans Island, near 200 strong; the fourth brigade,
900 strong and the going duty in the city

comes up cry from the timid, the wavering, the

need take no such feversh heed. The blacks will
not come here. If they come now, il Ia only to
escape from bondage. Strike down Slavery, aud
they remain content and happy where they
were born. Ask any fugitive among rs, or

freedom has been purchased by HIMSELF and he win
