The Barrier TO Recognition.

If anything were wanting to strengthen
the previous impressions, derived from va
fious sources Of European intelligence,
of France and England, and, indeed, every
Government in Europe, would long since
have recognized the Southern Confederacy
but for the institution Of Slavery, we think
the latest European news will supply the
slOwest reasoner with sufh hcient evidence to
put this matter beyond all further ques-
ton.
So early as the period of imbecility in
the Government, for which Buchanan is
responsible, when he wrung his hands
helplessly and refused to adopt the precau-
tions proposed by General Scott, on such
miserable pleas as that he would not ex-
asperate the South, that be had no power
to coerce State, etc, etc.,-even then,
in the view of such feebIcness. cowardice,
and base su5serviency, more than one OF
the Governments of the old world, who
hated the Young Republic Of the West,
would probably have found or feigned some
plea, Cat least as plausible and sincere as
Buohanan' for doing nothing), for doing
something to help the nascent CoDfederacy,
which purposed to do the work Of disin-
tegration and destruction, so much desired
by the despotic aud aristocratic Govern
ments Of Europe. And that something
would have been no less than recognition
In the first instance, and afterwards, II re-
qu0cd, such further assistance as sympa-
thy and community of interests would
have dictated.
But the impossible barrier was sldUe7y
Then, as now, no European government
could afford, or, to express the idea still
more emphatically, dared, to extend the
right hand of fellowship and admit new
member into the fraternity OF civilized ma
tiOns, when, upon its record, Slavery as a
domestic institution, and the reopening OF
the African slave-trade as great deSitIera-
tune Of the future, were written SO that all
could read-and shudder
Whether the judicial blindness, which
seems to have prevented the rebels from
perceiving their weak point in negotiations
for recognition and assistance abroad will
continue TO the end, or not, certain it Is
that, so far, It, and not our craftsmanship
nor our diplomacy, however able and judi
cious both may have been; It, and not our
military successes, which are questionable,
or our generalship, which is rather more
than questionable 1t alone has prevented
the recognition Of the Southern Confedera-
cy by the governments of Europe.

Battle in Arkansas.

WAsUINGToN, Oct % The following
was received at the headquarters of the
army 10 day:
ST Louis, Oct 24-To Major General
Halleck, General in-Chief Our arms are
entirely successful again in Northwestern
Arkansas Gen. Schofeld, finding that
the enemy had encamped at Pea Ridge,
sent General Blunt, with the post division
westward, and moved towards Huntsville
with the rest Of his forces. Gen Blunt,
by making a hard nights march, reached
and attacked the rebel force at Maysviile,
near the northwest corner of Arkansas, at
O'Clock a. IN on the 22d inst.
The enemy was under cover, and is es-
tin,ated at some 5000 to 1000 strong.
The engagement lasted about an hour,
and resulted in the total rout of the enemy,
with the loss of all his artillery, a battery
Of six Founders, large number of holseS
and portion Of their transportati IN, and
camp and garrison equipage.
Our cavalry and light howitzers were
still in pursuit OF the scattered forces when
the messenger left.
Our loss was small.
Gen. Schofeld pursued the rebels thro'
Huntsville, aud beyond, coming close up
on HIM
The enemy fled prccipitately beyond
Boston Mountain.
All the organized rebel forces of the
West have thus been driven back to the
valley of the Arkansas river, and the
Army of the frontier has gallautly and
successfully accomplished its mission

The London Star oEa the PrOcla-
nation.

1t (the Emancipation Proclamation is
iDdisputably the great fact of the war-the
turning point OF the history Of the Ameri-
can conlmonwealth-an act only second III
courage and in probable results to the
Declaration Of Independence. That 1t has
been SO long postponed indicates Its I'M
mense gravity. That 1t follows on great
military success, not on defeat, indicates
the spirit in which it is adopted. But a
few days earlier, it would have been uni
versally regarded as a confession OF despair
ing consciousness that the forces of the
North were unable to grapple even on
Northern soil with those of the South
1t comes now as defiance to the power
that is still strong enough to maintain its
frontier, though compelled to rellnquish
its aggressive designs. And It's promulga-
ton will no doubt arrest the proposed dis
patch Of Commissioners frJm Richmond to
Washington, to negotiate terms Of ga just
and honorable peace" The Federal
Government has anticipated the Congress
in such proposals. The only peace the ri
lers of the Union desile is one compatible
with "the restoration Of constitutional re-
lations," and the abolition OF compulsory
scrvitude-peace with justice for its basis,
freedom for its object, Federal laws and
the universal sympathy Of mankind.for its
protection.
Is not this a gigantic stride in the paths
of christian and civilized progress? Is not
here a reason, abundant and unquestiona-
bic, why every man to whom personal or
political freedom is dear, should pray for
the success Of the Union arms Hitherto
the sy Dpathy of Europe has been rcpresscd
by an uneasy doubt whether the outp0sts
Of the Union armies and the boats crews
of Union fleets did not drive back with
covering terror the negroes who came out
expecting friends and deliverers. There
can now be no more such doubt, and there
can be no more withholding of sympathy.
From the banks Of the Potomac, Mcclellan
and Lee still stand confronting each other
in equal strength-throuSh Kentucky,
where Unionists and Confederates are be-
sieged and besiegers-in Mississippi and
in Louisiana, where fighting is imminent,
if not actual-in the Caroinas and in Flo
rida, where the war seems about to be re-
newed-every NJrthern soldier or sailor
counts now as an armed Abolitionist.
The slaves need wait no longer for the
signal that their concealed and wary lead
ers have prudently withheld. In every
canebrake and rice-swamp-among the
bales of boarded cotton and the trees Of the
pine torests-the negro may hold his coun
Gil of war and resolve to surike for freedom.
He may safely and wisely forego his ven
9eance for past wrongs. His cause is at
length the cause of mighty and resolute
people The fiat has gone forth, and the
heart of humanity will hail its execution.
On New Years Day, 1868, Slavery will
cease to defle the American flag, and be-
gin to disappear from the American soil,
