Reported Recognition of South.
ern Confederacy by England.

A most extraordinary statement OBJ
tanned yesterday in the highest official cir
cles of the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy by Great Britain. 1t is GER
tain that dispatch agent arrived here
yesterday from England, having landed
in the British possessions and essaying to
reach the South through Michigan and the
West His report is understood to be
that he was arrested in Ohio and robbed
of his dispatches, subsequently effeoting
escape to this city. The assertion of the
agent is that the dispatches contained as
surances of the immediate recognition OF
our Government by that Of Great Britain.
We give this statement, which is made in
the most positive manner, without adding
any opinion of our own, or protesting to
know how the Government has verified or
credited the report, beyond semi official
expressions of confidence in its truth,
which reached US last night.

Practical Patriotism of Southern
Women,

go woman, in our hours of ease"-the
reader knows the rest: she is q charming
bundle of tickle fancies and impracticable
whimsies, very ornamental indeed, very
dear luxury that will not answer for "hu-
man natures daily food" In those hours
of fowery dalliance, her noblest uses are
latent her beni6cent mission is waiting for
the occasion, the angel of comfort and
healing within her is sleeping, But at
the call of distress, amid the trials of ad
versity, whether public or private, all this
is changed. There is then no forttude
like the fortitudc of this delicate creature,
no inhexibiity of duty and tireless ener-
gy in doing good like hers. However
bright she may be in sunshine, she is nev,
er brighter than when the sky is darkest.
The sun may set in clouds, the stars may
be quenohed in storm, but only to cause
her virtues to shine forth in unquenchable
brightness Romance and poetry have in
all time delighted to bear this testimony;
and nowhere was it ever more fully de-
served and more fully eorroborated than
in the South since the beginning of our
war of independence. The enemy has
nau no Zoe 10 enc0uter more IOrmluaDle
than our women. They are our true home
guard. They never sleep on their posts.
Their patriotic ministrations are univer-
sal. They fire the hearts of soldiers eve
rywhere; they sustain their patience and
nerve their resolution with sweet memo
ries and sweeter hopes, sacred affections
aud high and pure aspirations They
are the heart and religion of our cause
Homely and rksome are the Offices which
they are eager to perform. Their devo-
ton spurns all conventional distinctions
in the path of duty aud patriotism, With
an instinct wiser than philosophy, they
feel the infinite value Of small things, the
incalcuable effect of humble uses; and
therein are they mightiest and greatest,
and thereby do they illustrate the beauti-
full significance of that saying: They that
are last shall be first The South is rich
in elements of finvincibility, But, depend
upon it, nothing goes farther to constitute
the totality of her invincible power than
the practical patriotism and the uncon-
querable spirit of her women,--N o,
Delta.

PEACE NOT FAR OFF.-The New York
Herald, commenting upon the position of
England in regard to the blockade, says
What is the duty of the Government
and the people of the free States under
these circumstances? 1t is to put forth
every effort to defeat the rebel army in the
next great battle. If this is done, vcto-
ry for the North is certain, and the expe.
rience we have gained at Big Bethel, Bull
and Davis Creek is net in vain. The next
turn to win is rightfully ours and old
scores being thus wiped out and the sting
of Southern superiority in arms extracted,
let arrangements Immediately be made for
the restoration of peace, instead of con,in-
uing an insane and suicidal strife fer the
amusement of England, France, Spain and
all the powers of Europe"
One little victory, and then the .'resto-
ration of peace" Northern pride alone
stands in the way of peace. That gratifi-
cd and the Suicidal strife" ceases "Tbe
next turn TO win is rightfully ours" says
the Herald, aud if the South will onlyper-
init that turn" then arrangements for
peace will be made. But how, if the "next
turn" fails, as did the three last2 why,
then, peace anyhow.
One more battle, and then peace, made
and concluded in Independence Hail.

If the North should win on the '''next
turn" they will make peace, and if they

will make peace. So, We conclude, peace

reotypes Gen. McCulloch:
Gen. McCulloch is medium sized ma J,

looking for man Of his age. A nice
boot well fitted to his foot; close, trim
made clothes, and q brown hat, neither
high nor low, but of the planter style, with
very clean, nice vest, sleek boots, gloves
and spurs, are the characteristics of his
dress His person is very neat and pleas
ant, slim, thin, and o small roundness Of
shoulders. He is as fine horseman as
ever saw. Age has left its mark on his
countenance. His face is weather beaten
and brown from exposure; numerous
crow feet creep out from his somewhat
sunken eyes. think he would weigh a.
bout 14O pounds, and | would take him to
be fifty years old. judging from his looks
and he is all that he has been represented
u
er, a reckless charger, border man and
an Indian fighter OF the highest type
Had he lived in the days Of chivalry, he
would have been knight of the most su- :
perior class.
More than this Gen Ben. McCulloch is
great man. Mentally he is of the sar, :.
guine bilious temperament--a perfectly
positive man. There is no half way
ground about him. no medium decision,
no compromise, no guessing, II is or it is
not with him. 1t can or it cannot be /;
and if the world should decide against him
or all the officers in his division, believe
his own conscien,iousness would prompt
him to say, ms would jackson, "l'll sake
the responsibility.
One of the strongest features in his
mind is its precision, its clcsrness. Indi
yiduality is strongly marked. He is not
q talkative man. aud do not think a very
sociable one. lie seems to be separate,
self-existont, independent, original l do
not think any one ever knows bis tlans

mind is directed 10, he has very exalted
ideas. He seems desirous of bringing his
men to the highest point of discipline and
military power. lie detests stragglers and
loafers. He loves order and deceucy.-
he threatened to turn battery loose on
the uarmed Missourians who hung a.
round him at the battle of Wilson Creek.
He would have nothing to do with the
fight unless there was head command to
the forces on his side.

Thinking, doubtless, of some moment
Whose illusions ere it few,
Flung radiauce in the future
Der those happy days 10 6ssa

There were children, too, in numbers,

Romping loudly DER the green;
There were ships, too, on the ocean,
But no cloud upon the heaven
All wondrous scene of beauty,
In that mellow light of event
Yet, in ali that crowd of faces,
No familiar one saw
And thought of other faces,
And the ties which had been riven,
And the hopes that had been blasted
BY the accident of war.

Every thought was given DER;
Never waking till the breezes,

Lo the light of eve had fitted
And the silver orb of shadows
Lit my features as moved;
Stolen forth while was thinking
OF the land that had quilted,
OF its hills and of its valleys,
And the faces had loved.

And I love thee but tonight
My reflections were but bitter

So, good-even and forgive me
On some other, with delight,

Still entreating thee to stay
