RECOGNITION.

Europe has practically recognized the Confede-
rate States. l. has done so by compulsion and
not by favor The letter of the French Emperor
TO the British and Russian Courts was an express
recognition of the distinct existence OF the Gov
eminent ard jurisdiction of the Southern Contede-
racy. The refusal of the two courts addressed to
scoede TO the measures proposed by France did not
embrace denial of the fact assumed in the
Emperor's despatch of the existence in the South
of a political power having the right to grant
armistices and make treaties. The whole cores
pondence which took place involves the conces-
sion of fact it is a fact, fired fact, that
the Confederate States are an established, perma-
nent Government, aud the note of the French
Minister of State, as a matter of course, assumed
and the Governments addressed, as a matter OF
course, acknowleds ed the selEevident truth The
truth is, that the Confederacy have established
their independence by their own unaided efforts,
aud have forced Europe into the position of either
denying fact, thereby asserting lie, or acknOw-
edging the existence. of it's Government. We
owe no thanks to the Emperor for assuming, as q
fact, what could not be denied without fasehOod.
And it il to be remarked, that that banking team
of scared diplomats, Earl Russell and Prince Gort-
schakof, did not allege as a reason of their not
acceding to the measure proposed the non-exlst-
ance of power in the South capable of making
treaties, but trivial reason which involved the
concession of the existence of such power
This compulsory recognition is infinitely more
creditable and valuable to the South, than recog-
milton by favor. We have forced Europe into the
position of actiRg with disgraceful duplicity and
cowardice, or acknowledging our independent ex-
istence. 1t is really most contemplate piece of
folly for Europe to shrink from the formal recog-
milton of fact which the common sense, common
candor and common justice Of the whole word
have long since conceded. The South not pow
er of the earth! Why, there it not a nation in
Europe which has ever withstood so stupendous
effort for its subjugation that which has
been made against the South. There is no Gov
eminent or Empire in the entire circle of Europ-
eau nations which could now withstand successful
ly such an onset as that which the South has
repealed with so much ease. A million ofsoldiers
are arrayed against her, armed and assisted by the
most efficient weapons and formidable military
eqnipage ever known before in the science of war;
and she holds them at bay. Two or three thou
sand millions of dollars have been exhausted in
the vain effort to reduce her to suhjugation; and
she is ns high and naughty this hour as ut the
beginning Richmond Examiner.

PRAYER FOR PEACE.
From the Fayetteville Observer.

Mr. Editor: Will you please give admission to
your columns to the accompanying address and
prayer:
Dear Sisters of the Confederate States: Those
to HON Christ is precious-and also those tC
whom "He hath no form or comeliness we are all
alike involved in or threatened by one common ca
lamity; should not cali upon the Lordin this our
day of trbulation, if peradventure he will heark-
en- and hear?
Nineveh, wicked, heather Nineveh, was heard
when she humbled herself before the mighty God
of Jacob; shall not We then draw nigh who can
plead the merits of "His SON, our Savor?" l
would humbly propose to you, my sisters, that at
II NJ, on every Monday until peace be declared
the united voice of our supplcations should ascend
unto the God of nations
And as in concert Of prayer it i. desirable
that thoughts as we'll as feelings should be in uni
son, l would humbly submit for your use a form of
prayer written by One of the Marys, and most
heartily endorsed by One of the Marthas:
FORM OF PRAYER.
Lord, our Heavenly Father. look down in
thine infinite compassion upon us, thine afflicted
childreY and hear and save US. Hear the prayer
Of the mothers and daughters of this land as with
united voice they implore thy forgiveness and
blessing-the blessing Of peace, permanent and
honorable peace. Oh, deliver US from our enc
mes, and from the hand OF those that hate US, and
enable US to forgive our enemies as we hope to be
forgiven and accepted of thee. Oh Lord! let not
Satan rage and rule in them longer Cast out the
evil spirits that possess them, and enable them to
"sit at the feet of Jesus" ''clothed and in their
right mind" And oh, Thou Almighty God, our
Saviour! the Prince of Peace, who with word once
stilled the raging waves of the sea, come now and
say to this tempest of human passions, "Peace, be
still" Oh Thou blessed Spirit of Love and Peace,
descend aud scatter the thick darkness that regns
around comfort the widow and the fatherless
bind up the broken in heart hear the signing of
the prisoner and captive, and send dcliverance.
Dissolve the hatred and power of the armies that
threaten Us. Bless our noble soldiers and re-
store them in peace and Joy to their homes Re-
ward their devotion and sacrifices, and above all
give unto them eternal life, through our Lord Je-
sus Christ. May the time Rov come when the
nations shall learn war more. May there now
be universal "desth unto SIM and 'new life un
to righteousness" and may "the kingdoms of the
world" become "the Kingdoms of our Lord and of
his Christ"
And now unto Him who hath loved us and
washed US in his own blood, be all glory and POW
er, and dominion, world without end. Amen.
