South Carolina Central Railroad in particu.
lar, are reminded that the Books of Sub.
scription TO said Road will be opened Mt the
various points designated in advertisement
on Monday uext. Three hundred thousand
dollars will secure the Charter. For essen.
tial reasons which it is not necessary TO
meIfion now, but upon which depend in u
great measure the success of the enterprise
1t is highly important that sufficient stock
be taken TO secure the Ch arter before the
next Session of our State Legislatures
That this will be done. we cannot suffer
ourSelf to doubt for moment. More than
double the amount required to secure the
Charter was reported to the Sumter Con,
venton in July last rs bona fide subscrip
ton. With this margin, therefore, it is fai
TO presume that $4,000 of stock, and more
will De taken within the time mentioned.
Parties who subscribed last summer are
aware that it will be necessary for tn en- 10
subscribe again under tho Charter. The
Commissioners at the various points should
have in their possession copies Of the orig
inal subscription lists.
We do not believe, as some have sugpes.
ted, that the unsettled condition of the
country furnishes any well grounded rea-
sons for not subscribing at present for al.
though the requisite amount may be sub.
scribed and the Charter secured, the work
will not begin, nor will the money be called
for until the difficulties before US are set
lied and it is definitely known whether we
are TO have peace or war. Or if it be pre-
ferred, let subscribers adopt as a basis the
two. .thirds.or even the one half Of their for
mer subscriptions 10 secure the Charter,
with the understanding that the balance
will be subscribed when times become more
prosperous The latter couse, however, to
be flir to all concerned, should be general.
Every man who subscribed last summer
should feel himself honorably bound 10 re.
spond now.
We request the Commiss;o ners, par,icu.
larly in this District, to furnish us a. the
expiration of the ten days, with the amount
OF stock taken Mt their respective points.

Rec ognition of the Confederate States.

Tho indications upon all hnnis lead to
the belsf that the Confederate States will
be promptly recognised by the European
powers. There has been going on grad
ual chnnge in the sentiment Of the English
and French press towards the Cotton States.
and their estimates Of the strength and the
respectablity Of the Southern movement
are decidedly more fatteriug now than
they were three months ago. Whether
this change has been brought about by n
clearer conception Of the truth or by sci.
fish considerations, matters not to us. II
clearly foreshadows that the Confederate
States will soon occupy prominent posi-
ton among the nations Of the world The
matter has already been mooted IN the
English Parliament in connection with the
consideration Of resolution in relation to
tile slave trade Even Mr. Buxton, the
well known Aboli,ionist. had no objection
to offer TO its recognition. provided the
Southern Confederacy bound itself not to
rsopea the slave trade. As this has been
already done--aot metely by a clause in
the Constitution, but by the veto by Presi-
dent Davis Of an Act introduced into the
Montgomery Congress. rendering the slave
traffic misdemeanor instead of piracy-no
further opposition is to be anticipated in
that quarter.
The French press has come out even
more strongly in favor Of the South than
the English, and under circumstances which
lead to the conviction that il speaks by au-
thority Of, or with knowledge Of the pur-
poses Of Louis Neapoleoa.
