No ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from Eng
land state that Earl Russell has informed
MeSsrs. Iancey, Rost and Mann, our Com
missoncrs, that the Queens Government de-
clines to recognize that of the Confederate c
States until we achieve independence. Led
by the idea that in this age OF professed civil
ization an enlightened policy would govern
Great Britain in relation to Our struggl" we
fully expected her TO act as she had done to-
wards other new Governments when they be-
came dc iacto such. She has not only con-
tradicted her own history, but she has, with
out doubt, influenced France to adopt SINH
lar policy. Surprising as it is that the En-
peror has suffered himself to be controlled by
British policy: it is not the less true, and we
are to fight our way by our own prowess and
endurance. Let us 20 forward with the con-
idence chat commenced our revolution, de.
PENDING only on Southern hearts and South
crn arms to vindicate and establish Southern
prineiples.-Soutl Carolinan.

Com. Tattnall engaged one Of TIE Federal bat
tcrics near that city, On Saturday morning. lie
lost one man, and, after receiving few shots in
one of his vessels, retired. Tho Savannah pa
pers, Of Monday, make no mention Il this aaSir.
1t was probably only Reconnaissance.
Rumors-There were rulnorS in town yesterday
morning said to have hcen brought by pass, myers
from Atlanta, Ga, to the eGcc; that Gen. Price
had captured several thousand Felerals. There
is no reason to believe the rumors; and we must
caution our citizens again not to believe al the
reports and rumors that they may hear N the
streets.
Anoth.r Prociamatton.-Go Brown has issn d
q proclamation ordering each dis;iler in the State
to desist absolutely from the manufacture OF ar
dent spirits after tho 18th day of March, 1862.
The Superintendent of the State road is forbidden
to transport my whiskey over that road, and
other railroad superintendents arc requested to
do likewise. In case Of dstillers refusing to obey
this order their stills to be seized and sent to
Rome, Co., to be manufactured into cannon; and
all liquor brought near military encnmpmcnts is
to be emptied upon the ground.
The course Of Gov. Brown, in this instance will
meet with the approval of our patriotic citizens
and it is to be hoped that his order will b. gen
orally observed snd strictly enforced.
