EFFECT OF RECOGNITION.

We think there is some tendency to underrate
we'll to overrate the value Of foreign recogni-
ton of the Confederate Republic. We shoul6,
after recognition, still have our own battles to
fight, it is true and the dissolution ofthe blockade
would still depend the question Of its efficiency
OF its ineficiency. But the nations interested in
trade would be more prompt to assert the priv
ileges of commerce in all their extent; and more
disposed to adjudge the blockade inefficient and
therefore not to be regarded submitted to-
The moral effect Of our recognition would be
very great at the north. The people there seem
70 do everything under sort of artful excitement.
The public mind has been, by combined coaxing
and imposture and intimidation, whipped up into
sort of wild furore on the subject of the war.
The people were made to believe that Lincoln had
but to "Put the foot down little firmly" and the
South would rush to kiss it; then they were told
that the rebels would not fight, and could be
crushed out in month two; and now they are
constantly consoled with the prediction of certain
success, and fed With glowing descriptions of daily
victories. Our recognition by foreign powers
would strike the Northern people as the judgment
of the impartial world. 1t would be the declara-
tion of the great lockers on that the crushing
out" has proved a failure; that tie South cannot
be conquered by the North, and has fairly won
for herself, by prowess in arms, place among the
nations.
The effect Of this upon the North must needs
be very great. The source fthe Northern furore
has consisted in the hope of success. The people
there cannot but respect the judgment Of the
world. 1t will break the backbone of their en-
thusasm. The money argument will then weigh
like milllstone. a million and quarter day is
too much to throw into the of hopeless endesv-
or, they will say. The military spirit, too-so
much Of it as they have--will be wonderfully
cooled. "Victory or death" may allure the ad-
yenturous; but Defeat and death" will charm
nobody.
Hence we look forward with interest to the
recognition of our Confederacy by the nations of
the earth, not as determining the result of this
war-that is already setted-but conducting to
Its terminaton.-RichmoHd Enquirer.

f0cdnOntaS county, "a, Oct IL, AC0A'
". W. Holden, Esq, Dear Sir: A few days
since my attention called to an article IN your
paper, OF the 18th September, calculated to do me
in Justice This article is based upon information
derived from gentleman recently from Valley
Mountain | don t pretend to question the state
ments made in relation to the general condition OF
the regiment. Unquestionaby it has been greatly
afflicted, and has endured hardships and suffered
privations, that [ trust have not fallen upon any
other regiment from Stately business is,
however, with the sick, and in relation to them
desire to state few facts. We arrived on Valley
Mountain the 1st day of August.-The general
health of the regiment was then good. Shortly
after arrived there measles made its appearance
in the camp, Of which we had several hundred
cases. During the convaescence from the measles
typus more properly camp fever attacked the
patients. This fever assumed very malignant
type, and being in q country where we could not
obtain any of the articles generally used in diet
ing fever patients; and while this epidemic was
prevailing most violently, We were as stated by
your informant, without some Of the leading artl-
Giles Of medicine that would have been applicable
to the treatment of the disease In the month of
September we had five hundred and twenty five
cases to treat-and there were some hundred and
fifty cases from our regiment in the General Hos
pital over which | had no control at ALL there
being Brigade Hospital Surgeon appointed.
Of tina: number OF cases In quarters and Hospital,
We lost twenty four | simply refer to this bill of
mortality, to show that the Medical Board have
not been inefficient. Others have died since that
time-and their deaths caused, in several
instances by being transported at very critical
PERIOD and over roads that were almost impas-
sable The sick are being removed to Hospitals
near the Railroad, aud not within my juriSdic-
ton Under all the circumstances, and the coud-
which
fever, the absolute want OF delicacieS for the sick
and Hospital accommodations at Valley Mountain
| think We have to congratulate ourselves
that we have been SO fortunate.

ESy" They publish some queer things in the
Northern papers about North Carolina, as witness
tn following from Hatteras correspondent of
the New York Tribune:
"Whe1 the news came that Fort Hatteras was
taken by the United States, a serious turn was
given to the popular mind, and some were in IA
vor Of having the State by its legislature, resolve
itself back into the Union. Hereupon sides were
taken and blows were struck. The secessionsts
had all the arms, and they, Of course had the
upper hand. One man declared that "he was a
Union and not afraid to confess it." At this
expression he taken into shop, his nose put
into vice and screwed nearly out of his head; and
the lips which uterrd the sentiment treated in the
same way, and both nearly pulled out of his face
A lady just from Washington n. c., tells me
about the same time company of men as
senbled in store and extolling the secession flag,
when old Revolutionary soldier (the only one
known to be living in n. CO. interered, and ask
ed the Secessioniss if they knew how much the
old stars and stripes cost? He said he did, for
he fought under Them and saw them when first
raised, and that he would neverrecognize another
At this he taken, his head half shaved a
plaster put on, and the plaster covered with tar,
and the tar with feathers, and then he was hurled
into the street! Who would think that soldier
of Washington would ever be subjected to such
treatment in the land where Washington himself
was once almost worshipped as if he we're god?
How long will Americans allow such things to be?
These are but samples of series Of barbar-
acts, which, to mention them separately
would fill dozen pages, and only make ones
blood curdle to think of them"
Now that's rich, especially the part about the
We have heard about peoples noses being
brought down to the grndstone, but man with
his nose in rice, is certainly suggestive of I'M
pleasant and ridiculous ideas
We must suppose that lies of this sort psss
current the North like shinplastcrs do here
The people agree to take them and ask no foolish
questions of each other, since every body does it.
