The Recognition of the South,

The Baltimore American, speaking of
the New York Erpress' account of the
prospective recognition of the Southern
Confederacy by England and France, says:
The New York Express is proving its
inventive power and testing the credu-
lily of the public with monstrous and
ridiculous story that England and France
will demand an armistce of four or six
months in our war, under penalty, if re.
fused, OF recognizing the Southern Con.
federacy. If France and England wish
to recognize the Rebels, let them do il.

Letter from Kentucky.

ALBANY, KY, October 9, 1862.
Friend Iuias - Although 1t has been
sometime since last saw you, have
not forgotten my promise, ito keep you
posted rs to the movements of our regi-
ment while in Kentucky" and to be-
gin--we left Fort Maxey, at the mouth
of Battle creek, on the 18th of August,
with nine companies-Capt. Rice's COM
pany remaining until the Goth to bring up
the Quarter,naster and Commissary stores,
and as rear guard ofthe entire command.
The regiment arrived at this place in
good condition, headed by our gallant
chieftain, Col. Howard, on the Goth of
August, where we have remained ever
since, skirmshing daily with Bushwhack-
ers and Home Guards-all Of whom in
variably leave the field and us in our
glory, after firing the first round. We
have captured great many very valua-
BILE things, consisting of Quartermaster
and Commissary stores, horses, mules,
wagons, ambulances, guns, blankets,
knapsacks and various other articles too
tedious to mention. Also three negroes,
captured from the Bushwhackers COM
manded BY the notorious scoundrel Capt
Huddleston. We have had very heavy
skirmishing with this character of men
and in every instance carried the day
withou, the loss OF single man. All
the different companies in the regimen
have had the pleasure of these engage
ments. and all acted their parts with
calmness and bravery. always receiving q
hearty welcome from their gallant Colorel,
and full assurances of their courage and
chivalry, they have led on the combat I'M
til the weapons of war and death used
against us have fallen harmlessly into our
hands. This is written in great haste
but promise something better in my
next. Yours respectfully, P. H. r.

The Negro Market in Virginia.

The Lynchburg Republican gets off the
following good one about the effect Abra-
hams Emancipation Proclamation is hav-
ing upon the negro marts of Virginia:
HIGH PRICES FOR NEGROES. Nearly ev-
ery day there are auction sales of negro
property in our city, and we learn that
the prices obtained are higher than be-
fore the war. We suppose that these
high prices is the result Of Lincoln's proc
lamation, which is to take affect on the
LIST of January next. Many persons wish
to buy negroes whilst they have the priv.
ilege to do so, but as we heard q man say
day or two ago, $1,000 is tremendous
hire for negro from now till LIST Of
January.

Pictures of Southern Generals.

IACCuISo VI oouCu0ru 16ueTdlS.
The Columbus (Ga.) Times publishes
from the pen of its army correspondent,
the following pictures of three of our
prominent Generals:
Gen. Lee, has, believe, won his way
to everybody's confidence. In appear
ance he is tall, portly and commanding.
His dress is usually plain Brigadier's
uniform, black felt hat, with the brim
turned down, and he wears short griz-
zled beard all FOUND his face. He has
much of the Washington dignity about
him, and is much respected by all with
whom he is thrown. At Sharpsburg
saw him on the field during the heat of
the action. He was surrounded by his
staff and perfect squadron of couriers.-
He was engaged in calmly viewing the
storm of battle, and giving orders in a
manner Of cool reliance. Aids and cour-
iers were hurrying to and from the right,
left and centre, and the whole disposition
of forces seemed under his perfect con-
troll.
Gen. Longstreet is stout and fleshy, and
ofgood height, and has quiet, courageous
look. He seems full of thought and of
decision, and his face makes an agreeable
impression alike on new and old acquain-
tances. He is characteristically fight
ing man-none can equal him in forcing
strong and we'll fortified position, and
Gen. Lee showed his appreciation of an
old tried soldier, when he patted him on
the shoulder after the late battle and said,
my old In this Ell
he was seed - commando tHel
and his old corps keenly felt the R,a1 OF
his able handling.

with his knees drawn up like mAyiS
and his head resting upon his bre<EEn
he has frstrate face and seems a plalhly
dressed Captain of Cavalry, with an unpre-
tending Staff. His uniform is fine enough,
for the hard life he leads. But the mag
ination is piqaed, you know, by the ab-
sence of pretension, as "a King in gray
clothes" Stonewall don't like to come
about the army much. The boys keep
him bareheaded all the time. When
they begin to cheer him he usually pulls
off his hat, spurs his fine horse, and runs
through the howls which meet him at ev-
cry step flor some five miles) as hard as

might forfeit his rights us neutral, went on

immediately ordered Capt. Nichols to
hoist 3 flag Of truce and evertaie the
maud. Two shells in succession warned
the Winona, notwithstanding her flag Of
truce, not 10 CONE too near the fort; and soon
afscr rebel boat, carrying three rebel OH
cers, made signals. Capt, De Camp invited
them on board, "to get 8 glass Of whisky"
furnished. They stayed quite long enough
to enable them TO possess themselves OF all
the Information desired touching the Winona
