THE NEWS,

The this week is of great Importance. That
from Europe is highly encouraging the South, and
has created considerable sensation the North. One
thing certain the Yankees afraid that England
and France intend interfere in the war, take sides
against them, and raise the blockade How long be-
fore such interference nc tell but it will take
place sooner or later.
The Burnside feet attacked Roanoke Island Fri
dav and made unsuccessful attempt land. 1t is
stated that the firing both sides terrific. Ac-
cordng the latest news batteries unnured
while three of the enemyS vessels crippled.
The Lincolnites have captured Fort Henry, on the
Tennessee River 1t ought have been expect
ed hold mud and sand bank Forts against the heavy
metal brought against them by the enemy water.
We look upon the loss of the Fort misfortune, but
rot as a great disaster We think the enemy be
successfully met land wherever he makes his APP
pearance. In the meantime, the people OF the South
must redou1e their energies and put forth all their
efforts while the North is Vaking desperate and dying
struggle against Volunteering must go fnstt
or we fear a draft may become necessary

OLD ABE's QUOTATIONS.

We ought to whip them rebel chaps:
| think so, more and more;
We've got an armed feet on the sea
And fleet army on the shore.
Yet Madame L., with jocund smile,
Deems it but glorious fun,
To call my Bethel fight Bull,
And my last Bully Run.
"Bob" threw my message out the cars,
The reason now I'll tell:
That Inaugural he thought bore,
And didn't anger well.
There is no commerce on the sea,
All traffic now is dead;
Some cay this comes from my blockade,
And some from my block head.
Fain would in secret weep
'Twould free my soul from care
But rebel JEFF has sternly said,
Don't "drop" private tear.

REASONS WHY WAsHISGTOS WAS NOT CAPTUREo.-A
good deal of dissatisfaction has been expressed IN the
South because the Confederate Army did not push on
to Washington city Immediately after the battle of Ma
nassas President Davis has been blamed for the
failure do SO. The official reports of Gems. esau-
regard and Johnston state why the advance was not
made. Gen. Beauregard says his force was toe much
exhausted by fatigue, having fought hours under
July sun, without and food and BESIDES heaVy
rain fell the day after the battle which precluded the
possibility of making successful march on the city
Gen. Johnston, in his report says
1.-THE apparent frmuess of the United States troops
at Centreyille who had not been engaged which
checked pursuit the strong forces occupying the
works Georgetown Arlington, and alexandra
the certainty, too that Gen. Patterson, II NEEDED
would reach Washington with his army OF thlrty
thousand men sooner than could and the condition
and inadequate means of the army in ammunition
provisions and transportation, prevented any SERIOUS
thoughts of advancing against the Capital IL is
thought that the fresh troops within the works were IN
number quite sufficient for their defence; II not Gen
PaterSou's army would reinforce them soon enough.
PROSPER OF RrcoGSITIoN.-The British Parliament
assembled on the 9Th inst 1t is confidently predicted
By that that body will recognize the independence
of the Southern Confederacy. We shall not be sur
prsed if it does recognize or refuses to do So 81
much has been said on both sides about English feel
ing is hard predict, in advance what will be
the result The hesitating policy of the British Gov
is calculated promote kind feelings Tor
that country the South-we long ago entitled
to IA mere recognition. But think the South has
more cause to expect recognition from France than
England. The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes, under date of January 49,
e am in the possession of information which estab-
fishes, beyond doubt that this government Is bent
upon he recognition of the South. 1t has within the
last two weeks repeatedly urged this upon Eng
land, and may succeed in persuading the PalmerSton
Cabinet to raeet its views. The Washington Govern
once coast defences must be attend
ed to, and, above ALL strong, efficient navy be at
once equipped.
