We are glad to be able to contradict, in
tho most positive manner, the alarming
statc,sent made by one Of tho New York
journals, and repeated by some ,corrcspon-
dents of English newspapers. The state
ment was to the effect that Mr.. Adams,
the United States Minister to this coun-
try, had written bone, expressing his be-
lief that the :}ritish Government regarded
tho recognition of Southern independence
asa military and political necessity, and
delayed that rccogniti N only from mo.
tivss Of prudence ard courtesy. We are
assured that Mr.. Adams has made no such
cpun u,iication 10 his Government, and
could not, from the tone Of his interviews
with members of the British; Cabiaet. #

A Sample of Southern Cases.

DIR. Kingsley, in the last Western Chris
tian Advocate gives sepecmen of the way
men are treated in the South who express a
love for the Union. Thank God il will
not be many weeks until the artillery Of Gen.
Fremont will be laundering before Nash
vile and Memphis:
a day or two before the election came of
~ Tennessee, Mr.. Peters, a merchant of
Nashville, was standing in the front door OF
his store, talking with friend--a naturalized
Englishman. 1t had been rlimored some
what that this Englisbiaan was determined
to leave Tennessee for the North, and while
the conversation was going on. an acduain-
tance came up and made the inquiry as to
the truth Of his going North, and to what
part and for what purpose. ''To New York.
and possibly to enlist was the reply, when
the third party, with the qufckncss of
thought, leyeled blow at the side of the
Englishman's head Enocking-fifm senseless
into the gutter. a fourth person came up.
and recognizing the features of the prostrate
man. said with an oath, II will help his
case too, and drawing u revolver deliber-
ately aimed at the ankle bone Of the pros
trate man, shivcring it by the first shot. A
crowd by this time bad gathered, and one
in whose breast barbarism had not vet full
sway, lifted the head of the outraged man
which had been lying in four inches of filth
upon the curbstone. Mr.. Peters. as wit
ness Of the scene, told those who gathered
around him that thing had made him a
Union man, and that he intended to vote
the Union ticket the coming Saturday if it
cost him his life. He also so told his wife
and daughter. but friends who had heard
the utterance warned the latter that unless
he,tusband and father was taken out of the
city His life would be taken before the dav
of election. They besought and entreated
him to leave Nashville for Kentucky and
Ohio, which he did not heed and finding
the case becoming desperate. the wife pro-
cured a carriage, and herself and daughter
thnir pleadings persuaded him to
accompany them 10 the depot, where IN a few
moments the train would start North. They
barely succeeded in their effort. for by the
time the train left a crowd of over two hun
dred infuriate men we've on track of Mr..
Peters, and would have most likely made
speedy work with him had they seized him.
Mr.. Peters reached Cincinnati the 10th inst,
where himself and daughter will for the pres
ent remain. His store, private dwelling, fur
niture, etc, were left, without the family
being able to bring away any thing except
a few changes of clothes. The Englishman
who was knocked down and shot was sub
sequently carried to the hospital, where he
had his limb amputated, but as to whether
he recovered, Mr. Peters could not learn.
We give this case as one which we person
ally know to be true Such occurrences
make one hesitate to believe that he dwells
in Christian country, so much do they sa-
vor Of the daibolism of the pit
