Europeon RECOGNITION,

Very general interest has been excited by the
cent statements made by the New York Express, to
the effect tina: Lord Lyons had been detained in
England to receive the latest instructions from his
government after the receipt of Lincons emancipa-
ton proclamation. Lord Lyons was to leave on the
| 18th Oct, and would communicate to Mr.. Seward
on his arrival, the programme decided upon by the
European powers. The Express further says, it
has been given to understand that England and
France have decided upon the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy, if the JOINT offers of media
ton and an arm;stce to be proposed to Mr.. Seward
are not accepted.
Other New York journals are silent upon the SUBJ
ect, or speak lightly Of it. The Baltimore Ameri-
can pronounces the report to be mere sensation
story.
The country has been so often fattered by SINH
lar rumors, and the South lulled to rest that we are
not inclined to give much weight to them. We still
hold to our text, if we would end the war soon and
obtain European recognition in any short period, it
must be by hard fighting and by still greater sacri
fees
The speech of Mr.. Gladstone, one of the Grown
Ministers of England, which has been published, and
the comments of the British press would, under
ordinary circumstances, lead us to look for recog
milton very soon; but his extreme caution in his
speech, lest he might offend the Yankees is so pal
pable as to indicate that England is not prepared
to take any step which will involve her in wa,
with Lincoln None will rejoice more at an early
peace than ourselves, but we will not be party in
creating such an expectation until the matter is
made palpable

The Right Man in the Right Place.

We alluded in a recent brief editorial to the ap.
pointment of our friend, Dr. O. F. Manson, of Gran
vile County, as Medical Agent for the State in
of his ability as a Surgeon and Physician before
and since he entered the service of the State IN the
management of the Moore Hospital in that City,
but his great energy and tact have been fully
brought out by his recent appointment.
His heart is fully in the work of relieving and
providing for all the wants Of the North Carolina
soldiers, and especially for the sick and wounded;
and in this noble employment his efforts are warm
" seconded and promoted by Gov Vance and Sur
geon General Warren.
In late number of the Richmond Dispatch, we
observe an advertisement calling for proposals. from
which will be readily seen what he proposes to do
for the accommodation and comfort of our soldiers
He will receive proposals, he says, for the follow
ing:
l. A large and commodious building in central
part of the city, convenient to the railroad depots
to be used as North Carolina Headquarters.
O. Two Ambulances of the most approved con-
struction, with Horses and Harness complete.
g. Two White Ambulance Drivers.
L. Two good Shoemakers, to make and mend SOL
diers Shoes
5. Two good Tailors, to make and mend soldiers
clothes.
With such an establishment in Richmond, our
soldiers will not only find Hospital, but home
and every facility for obtaining all the information
thew desire. More than all, they will find friend
in Dr. Manson, whose sympathies are with the SOL
der.
