The Persia, from New York, arrived at Liv-

1t is stated that Mr.. Sldel. the Confederate
envoy, has had an interview with the Emperor
Napoleon, upon whom he urged the recogni-
ton of the Southern Confederacy as an indie
pendent power, by the government of France.
Napoleon is said to have admitted the cogen-
cy of the arguments held by Slidell in favor
recognition, but said that the great barrier to
the recognition of the South had been the OBJ
lection of England.
Other accounts say the Confederate Enyoys
at Paris and London have demanded the re-
cognition of the Southern Confederacy 1t is
said that England refused and that France has
not yet replied.
Lord Palmerston in a speech delivered at
Sheffield again advocated non-interference in
the affairs of the United States.
Mr. Roebuck also made speech on the

Southern Confederacy to be such as entitled
them TO a recognition.

.I-It is absolutely shameful that 5000
Union soldiers should have been so situated in
East Tennessee that IL, 900 rebel troops could
be allowed to surround them. There is fault
somewhere. If the Government has got the
men, why not send them in sufficient force to
choke down all opposition? If it has not got
them, then why not call for them, and call for
enough to make sure work of it? We repeat,
there is fault somewhere, and it is high time
that wisdom were learned from experience.
gT The 10th Regiment at Bath, is made up
of as fine looking body ofmen as we ever saw
together. Col. Sewall assures us that their
good looks do not belle them; that more
promising regiment has not been raised in the
State. Their Camp is very pleasantly situated
and everything about it as neat and orderly
as good taste and good discipline can make
them.
lg-Gov. Sprague recently wrote to war
meeting at Newport as follows:
"No white gloved handling will do this.
Strike him 1.-THE enemy in his vital parts. And
if the agents who are employed to do this are
not up to the mark, if they are not up to a
realizing sense of their duty, let them fall.
Let new men and new agents occupy their
places"
sy-We call the attention of our readers to
the circular letter for the army Chaplains at

corning our soldiers. We hope it may have
the desired effect. We are requested to ask

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. is.
The Newburn, N. c. Progress of the 18th
inst, in speaking of The election which was
held in the State the 7th says:
The final result indicates the defeat of john
son, the secession candidate for governor, by
the unparalleled majority of 10000. The glad
tidings come to hand just as we go to press of
the complete overthrow of secession in every
department of the State. The Union opposi-
ton party have elected nearly every member
in both branches of the Legislature by still
greater majorities. Every candidate who adj
vocated continuation of the war and sepa-
ration from the Union, has been defeated in
every instance. 1t has been fair and square
issue, strictly Of a political nature, with no
side or local issues of any kind. Gov. Stanley
regards this vote as an emphatic decision in
favor of the Union.

NEW YORK. August 49,
From an official report made by John S.
Clark, Aid de Camp to Maj. Gen. Banks, it is
shown that the total force of the rebels engag-
ed in the recent battle near Cedar Mountain,
was 24,9l3, divided as follows Infantry,
2l,613; cavalry, 2300; artillery, 1000.
Accounts from Cedar Run 18th say that
scents report no heavy force of rebels within
ten miles of this point. 1t is the belief that
Jackson has gone in some other direction and
may appear where he is least expected.
slight skirmish took place on Saturday
between the 9th New York cavalry and the
enemy at the Rapidan.
Col. Carol, acting Brigadier General. was
wounded in the breast yesterday while visit
ing the pickets at the Ford near the Rapidan
station, by one of the rebel pickets, who are
constantly firing at our own.

LEAVENWoRTH, Aug. IL.
Owing to the presence of large body Of
rebels in Jackson county, Missouri, and the
neighborhood, and threatened attack on Kan
sas city, the Provost Marshal of this city, I'M
der orders from Headquarters of the Depart
ment of Kansas, has ordered the citizens en-
masse to enroll and arm themselves for mill
tary duty. Any one failing to do so will be
arrested. Business is mostly suspended, and
it is thought there will be a general compli-
ance with the order.
The Federal troops late composing the Indian
expedition, with the exception of three Indian
