NORTH CAROLINA. 10 t
.a., the most strenuous exertions on the part
.;,s oficers the S.ate. finds Il impossibe to clothe
ol sbo. osr soldiers scitaoua sgais appealing to
e., oreraering fountain Of gensrosityxtM Fri-
s. as contributions of our people. The figors OF
N;r,er are approaching, our soldiers are already
'"ss,;ns. and must suffer more if our sympathies
sun hot nrscticsl and active. The Quartermss-
sa.,s Department is laboring faithfully to pro-
s s;as sor them; but owing to speculation and e1.
..'t;op .a will fall short. The deficiency must be
su s.unnI;ed by the people. We shall have an ac-
.;Is vinteT campaign. and how can our troops,
u " aged. cold and barefoot, contend with the
u r.,leudidy equipped columns Of the enemy!
Tbs articles most needed, and which the State
snas Il most difficult to supply, are shoes, SOCKS
va va blankets, though drawers, shirts and pants
-onld be gladly received. If every farmer who
s,s hides tanning would agree to spare one pair
~ shoes. and if every mother in North Carolina
.onli knit one strong pair of either thick cotton
=, 49,. wooen cocks for the army, they would be
Al ,hupdantly supplied. A great lot OF blankets
.lso might yet be spared from private use, and
.houssnds could be made from the carpets upon
our narlor floors. With good warm houses and
oo.tpn he'd clothing We can certainly get through
ths viuter much better than the soldiers can with
ali the blankets We can give them.
The colonels, of militia regiments throughout
the State are hereby appointed agents for the
purchase and collection of all such articles % can
be spared by our people, who, through their re-
snective captains, are ordered immediately to
canvass every county, and visit every citizen in
their beats for this purpose. Ahberal price will
be paid for everything where the owner feels that
he or she s not able to donate it, and active
AGENTS will Immediately forward them to our suf-
fering regimenta Expenses will be allowed the
officers engaged in this duty, and transportation
furnished the colonels OF their agents to bring
the articles to Raleigh. 1.
And now, my countrymen and women, If you
have anything to spare for the soldier, in his
name appeal to you for it. Do not let the speoi
ulstor have it; though he offer you enormous
prices spurn hip from your door, and say to him
that our brave defenders have need for it, and
shall have it without passing through bis greedy
fngera Do not place yourselves among the ex-
tortiouers-they are the vilest and most coward.
" Of oil our country's enemies: and when this
war is ended, and people come to view the mat
ter in its proper light, you will find that the
most detested tories are more respected than
they. When they tempt you with higher prices
than the State offers, just think for a moment Of
the soldier, and what he is doing for you. Re-
member, when you sit down by the bright and
glowing fire, that the soldier is sitting upon the
cold earth; that in the wind which is whistiing
30 fearfully over your roef, only making you feel
the more comfortable because it harms you not,
be is shivering in darkness on the dangerous out
post, or shuddefing through the dreary hours Of
bis watch.
sRemember, that when you come forth in the
"a o,A L. II 4
families toward the spot where the blessed music
of the Sabbath bell tells you of the peaceful
worship OF the Col of Peace, the soldier is going
forth at the same moment, perhaps, half fed,
after night of shiverihg and suffering, to where
the roar of artillery and shout of battle announce
that he is to die that your peace and safety :uay
bepreserved. Oh, remember these things, gem
erous and patriotic people Of North Carolina, and
give freely of your perishable goods to those
who are giving all that mortal man can give for
Spur safely and your rights. z. B. VANCE.
RALEIGH, October Is, 1862.
Foreign Recognition Of the COnfederacy.
The reports of impending foreign recognition
of the Confederacy, which are renewed from
time to tine as if some journal had a new reve.
lation, are entitled to such credit as rational
probability in view of the circumstances and Of
recognized international principles, will give
them, and no more. There must be something
more certain to govern this question, or to gov
ern ou- expectations in regard to it. than the
supposed varying whims of Ministers or Emper.
ors, or the sensations of newspapers. 1t may
be taken for granted that if the rebel Confeder.
acy maintains itself, it will in time be recog
nized. The American Republic has always acted
upon this rule, and has been prompt to recognize
newborn nationalities Indeed it has ALWAYS
stood ready with card in hand to offer its con
gratulations.
European Powers have acted on the same
principle. We are probably convinced by this
time that they have no love for this Government
nor for the people of the North, that will pre-
vent them 10 our case. In the case of England
her ardent wish ls parent to her belief that this
nation is finally severed, and the Confederacy
established. If nothing occurs on this eide to
change her conviction, we may be certain she
will recognize the Confederacy as nation. We
need no newspaper reports, nor accounts of the
condition of the digestion Of Ministers, to es.
tablish that.
Nr. Gladstone said, at the dinner at Newcastle
the Southern leaders have made an army, are
making navy, and have made what is more
than either-a nation. That is significant
enough of his idea of the present status; and the
circumstances appeared as if this occasion was
made especially to make public declaration ol
the opinion of the British Ministry, to foreshadow
its course
Regarding it as q nation, they will recognize
it as nation. Then the matter is reduced to a
question Of time. How long will they wait on
the present status Of the two belligerent par
ties, Or without any decisive progress in subdu-
ing the rebellion, before they give this recogni-
ton! We may calculate the probabilities on
general principles. Dubious victories, made by
lying bulletins, will not weigh in the CASE
Whatever lying may do at home-whatever may
be gsined by a Generals telegrsphing that the
enemy is demoralized and panic stricken, when
he is afraid to follow-or, if he does follow and
overtakes them, finds be was not SO anxious for
the interview as he thought-this will not 90
down abroad. A thing which is believed to be
nation, does not become no nation by dubi-
ous result Of battle, nor by single victory
decisive progress must be made in subduing the
rebellion; it must be crushed so that it cannot
pos an army in the field, or we may calculate
WIN certainty that it will ere long be recognized
Guerrilla parties will not keep up national
pfetentons If the Confederate army is de-
sHtroyed its hope of recognition will be gone.-
ous unless this is speedily done We may make up
