American affairs was the prominent subject Of
comment. In the House of Commons, motions
relating to begerent rights and the recognition Of
the Southern Confcdcracy were postponed, Lord
Palmerston stating that the discussion of the sub
ject was untimely, as active preparations were in
progress to send powerful British squadron to
the American coast
The French Chamber of Commerce has repre-
scented the necessity of like measure for the
protection of French vessels.
Lord Derby expressed the hope, in the House
Of Lords, that the forthcoming proclamation by
the Government will give emphatic warning
that if British subjects join privateers, become
involved either side, their blood will be on their
own heads. He SAID there would be no redress
from England
The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce has called
the attention of the French Government to the
unguarded condition of the French shipping in
American waters, and urges immediate action.
Lord PalmcrSton deprecated the present discus
sion of American affairs.
The preparations at the different Navy Yards
were active, and powerful squadron is coming to
America
The Times says that the United States hereto
fore upheld privateering, and denied the right of
search, both Of which have now turned against
her.
In the House of Commons, Lord John Russell
in referring to the rights of belligcrents says:
The question has been under the consideration
of Government. They have consulted the
law officers of the crown, Attorney and Solici-
tor General, and the Queens Advocate. The
government have come to the opinion that the
Southern ConfeGeraey of Anne RIGA, according to
those principles which seem to be just, must be
treated begcrant."
The London Times speaking of the rejection by
the United States of the proposition to make pr!-

says, that proposal having been rejected the bclii

THE CROPS.

GRA1N.-A subscriber in part of Rlchmond
comfy where cotton is usually the principal crop,
writes us that ga good many have complied with
vour recommendation to plant corn. The smaii
grain crop is looking prosperous, and there IS at
least one-third moro sowed than In any previous
year. '-FayeteeWe Observer.
South Corolina-Small grain crops were never
finer in this section of country. Plentiful show
ers have Just fallen securing an abundant harvest
against all ordinary contingencies. Wheat, oats,
rye barley, all unusually good, and much more
extensively sown than for many years. This Is
indeed God-send 20 the country and especially to
be priced at this period.-EdgcfeldA d0e'tiser.
We are gratiied to learn from our country
friends that the wheat and oat crops of this
vicinity promise rich harvest. A good portion
of the former is in head and looks unusually fine.
Corn and cotton are somewhat backward and some
difficulty has been experienced 10 procuring
stands. The refreshing showers which fell on
Sunday and Monday last, will doubtless produce a
happy effect upon the crops in general.-Ldncas-
ter Ledger.
Georgia.-The Albany Patriot, of the 10th
inst. saws: eve are informed by some of our oldest
and most experienced farmers that the grain crops
were never more promising-an unusual quantity
having been sown. Some planters have discarded
cotton entirely and have turned their attention to
the cultivation Of grain
Louisiana-The Monroe Register, of the 9th
inst, says:
Never within the memory Of man WAS there a
more promising cron than the one now growing.
We have fine stands of cotton and the season pro-
pitous. The corn is beautiful beyond description
As far as the eye can reach, the fields clothed
with living green, and filling the farmers heart

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
writer from Montgomery says:


The most remarkable activity prevails in the
War Department; its Secretary General Walker,
Ierforms an almost incredulOus amount of labor
sufficient to orerwhelm ordinary man He is
in his office from early hour in the morning
until midnight, regularly issuing orders and direct
ing the movements of the military striving to
perfect their organization consulting with officers
and leaders from all portions of the COnfedcracy
in relation to their tender of volunteers, and de-
Gliding, with the advice Of the President, upon the
merits of thousands of applications for army APP
pointments, who, if induced to form themselves
into regiments, would constitute division of men
as brave. disciplined and enthusiastic ever
swept field under the eage-eye of the mi hty
Napoleon. Nearly thousand applications are
file from South Carolina, and nearly as many
are said to have been already received from
Virginia.
The gallant volunteers of the Confederate States
have more than filled all acquisitions for twelve
months troops; but the determination of the Gov
eminent is to receive troops only for the war.
The Government is going to fight this controversy
to the " bitter end" Twelve months may be suf1i-
cicnt to convince Lincons rufians that raids upon
the South can have no other effect than John

LINCOLN ADVOCATING SECEssI0N.-On the
18th day Of January, 1913, in the first session of
the thlrtlcth congress, certain Abe Lincoln now
president of the d,sunted States, uttered the
speech hereunto appended. See Appendix Con-
greSsional Globe, page 81:
amy people, anywhere, being inclined and
having the power have the right to rise up and
shake of the existing government, and form new
one that suits them better. This is most valua-
bic, a most sacred rlght-a right which, we hope
and believe, is to iiberate the world. Nor is this
right confined to cases in which the whole people
OF an existing government may choose to exercise
it. Any portion Of such people that can may
rcroiutoniZe, and make their own use of such ter
rltory as they inhabt. More than this, na jortv
OF one portion Of such people may revolutionize
and put down a minority interminsled with or ne i
about them, who may oppose their movements
Such minority was precisely the of the tories
Of our own revolution 1t is quality OF revolu-
tions not to go By old lines, or old laws, but to
break up both, and make ones"
This is the same Abraham who is now invoking
the powers Of earth and hell, in the language of
one of his military orators, $50 aoipe the South
from the face Of creation"

EoREIGN MINISTERS AT WAsHINGToN.-It is
stated in the New York Herads Washington cor
respondence that President Lincoln has notified
the foreign diplomatic corps that if any European
power shall receive any Commissioner Minister
from the Confederate States, all intercourse with
such power will be broken off, and the Minister
representing it at Washington dismissed!
We understand from a gentleman (says the
Petersburg Express) who recently left Washing
ton, that nothing Lincoln do will be more
gratifying to the foreign ministers. Every man of
them is heartily disguised with the association
they are now compelled to endure They have
been so long accustomed to assocating with gen.
tlemen, that a release from the company of low,
dirty blackguards who now fill the White House
and Cabinet Departments, will be hailed with the
most estactic delight. We can very readily az
preciate the painful position now occupied by the
foreign diplomatic corps.
