our government and the integrity of the Union. y
and who as each we'll informed American no
doubt did, fully comprehendel the causes which
had operated To produce the excited state of feel
ing that existed, at the time Mr. Lincoln was in
augurated: would at once have seen that both
factions must be repudiafed. That which desired
to strike nj slavery through the Governmental
authority and that which claimed the right to
Withdraw States from the Union TO avoid such
expected attack
The last named faction was threatening TO
place itself in opposition TO the government bv
open war. The other was preparing to sap the
foundations bv subverting the Constitution. Each
should have been placed ut defiance by firm.

the Government as il was"-the government OF

Incident Of the Battle Of ChacaAomipy:

Incident Of tho Battle Of C1acaAomsny:.
Capt. OSBORNE of Iredell, ". C.-This gal
liant gentleman was wounded in the battle Of
the slst May, near Richmond, while leading
his company in charge on the enemy's bat
teries. His wound disabied'him, and he fell
upon the field where he remained sometime.
Fearing the enemy might bayonet him, he
drew his revolver and kept sharpe look out
as the fight progressed. After while he saw
a strong athletic man coming towards the
place where he was lying, and discovering him
to be Yankee he cody awaited his approach.
As soon as he came within certain range of his
pistol the Captain hailed him and ordered him
to surrender. The Yankee took monetary
glance, and seeing the Captains pistol was bear
ing upon him with stead y and deadly aim, hs
instantly dropped his rifle. s'Throw away
you knife" said the Captain. 1t was DONE
'sNow back yourself up to me-" was the next
command. "Squat down 20 can get upon
your back" The Yankee was compliant and
the Captain, with his pistol still bearing upon
his trembling prisoner, CT awled upon him, and
ordered him to march into the Confederate
camp. The rider and the ridden safely arrix-
ed at the Captains headquarters. The former
is recovering ofhis wounds, and the latter is
said to be among the prisoners now at THE
place. -.o1

Runas5mg the B1ochaae.- of q
spIessdsG Steamship.

The British steamship Memphis Captain
Crukshank, from Liverpool, via Nassau. N.
F., arrived here yesterday. She has on board
a most valuable cargo of British goods, being
precisely such most sorely. need at the
present juncture. The Memphis had the mis-
fortune, while coming into port on Monday, to
get ashore on the beach of Sullivan's Island,
where she remained several hours, but was f.
nally towed off by the steamers Marion and
Etiwan. When she first got aground she was
approached by one of the blockaders, which fir
ed a number of shells, most ofIwhich struck On
Sul)ivan's Island, but none Off them hit the
ship. The yankee gunboat was finally driven
off by rif1ed gun on Fort Beauragard, which
discharged but one shot at her, when she retir-
ed. The Memphis is a new iron ship on her
first voyage, and was built at Dumbsrton, on
the Clyde, is a most slightly vessel, of good
speed, about 800 tons register, but is capable
of carrying the cargo of many vessel of 12-
90 tons. She made the passage from Liver
pool to Nassau in l65 days, and was boarded
off Abaco by the Yankee steamer Quaker City.

Rumors were very current on yesterday, that
France had recognized the Confederate States
as an Independent nationality, and entitled to
be received as such among the nations of the
earth. Notwithstanding the various concur
rent sources through which the intelligence was
alledged to have arrived, we could discover no
respectable foundation for it. Indeed we have
reason to be assured that neither our own gov
ernment nor the representatives here of Euro
pean Governments have received such infor>
nation. The rumor comes through the air.
We are inclined to the opinion that, not on
Iy is it not known to be true, but it is really
not true, that France has as yet taken such
action The Emperor and the English Govern
ment have hitherto been acting in full confer
ence and accord, on the American question:
w have no evidence that this unity has been
interrupted. France and England are, un-
doubtedly, both very restless under the Ameri
can war, and great sufferers by it. They are
probably about to adopt some more active pol
icy in reference to it, Merceir's visit to Rich
m ond meant something.
