Hon. WM. l.. YANCY.-This gentle
man, for long lime our Commissioner in
Europe, has lately returned. Ina speech
at the St. Charles Hotel, n. D, he an
nounced that there was NJ immediate
prospec, Of our recognition in Europe or
Of their raising the blockade. lie says
ihat France will not take the initiative,
and that England, although by no mcaes
deceived or uniformed cUuceruing UuI
sffairs, is actuated to her unus lai reticeuce
in this respect by the hope of i long wnr,
weakening both parties, and d d,-troying
our heretofore param punt influence Oh the
Western Continent l. is deep game,
and the stakes are high, but 50 be it.
Our Commissioners should BE- recalled
at once, aud we should be proudly self
sustaining. 1t i'll BELTS our dignity to be
cooling our heels upon the portals of for
eign rations.

sJ- We announced in our last the
probability that Surgeons Gammage ana
Smith were prisoners. We have been
gratifed to meet Dr. Smith here, sound
10 wind and limb. 1t was agreed that
one surgeon was sufficient to remain with
the sick, and that DIR. Gammage would
remain, whilst DIR. Smith looked out for
the first opportunity of giving leg bail.
Meanwhile he managed 80 as to avoid
giving his parole, and one iue day came
up missing. BY taking wide circuit, he
finally reached home in safety. Slaughter
is doubtless prisoner.

OUR CORRESPONDENTS. We make full
room for our correspondence to-day, con-
fdent that our readers will find it inter-
esting. 1t is all historical matter, and
will be worth preserving. The letter of
Capt. Garland gives very lucid idea of
the battle and localities, and his opinions
are well matured.
f. The same may be truly said of Col.
Smiths and DR.. Jennings. We have
other correspondence on hand which we
retain for next issue.

How THEY TALK!-In the Federal
Senate I. bill is on the tapis to colonize all
the slaves of the South.
Mr.. Pomeroy, of Kansas, thinks that
too expensive, and offers to amend to the
effect, that.the slaves be left where they
are, and the owners colonized out of the
way.
Mr.. Wiley, (Union) from Virginia,
said, 81 propose to hang all such traitors,
aud thus save all the expense of trans

Whereupon there Was applause, in the
galleries.

BLESS THE GIRL--Miss Narcssa San.
ders is the step-daughter of Hon. A V.
Brown, who left princely residenc, in
the beautiful hills which encircle the city
of Nashville. She is young, beautiful,
witty, and was noted belle at the capitol
at Washington The federal commander,
McCown, having known her formerly,
upon taking possession of the city, called
to pay his respects, and sent up his card
from the door. Her reply was: "Tell
him to please excuse me. am in mourn>
ing for my country, and can see no one.
Whatever may be the temper of the
men, it is certain the women of Nashville,
treat the Federals with such a cold, but
polite contempt, that it is utterly. impos-
sible for one of them to obtain the entri.
into social circles. Every effort of the
sort has been repulsed, with ladylike
phrases, but queenly hauteur. They had
just as VIII 90 away, now.

GoOD FOR THE SPIRITs.-If there be
a man amongst US whose heart fails, let
that person retire into the closet, and read,
without ceasiDg, the history of the old
Revolution. He will see there, weak Co
lonies divided amongst themselves. Ia
each of thew e large Tory population fight
ing for the oppressor. A powerful enemy
in possession of the seas, besieging and
taking our sea ports, aud tortifcati- Is
without a single failure. Whole States
sover-run with their armies. Our Generals
defeated oftener than successful-aud
having, too, bitter and deadly feuds with
one another. In Congress and amongst
high military officers, may there be seen,
powerful, and almost successful cabals to
overthrow. and weaken the Geueral-in--
Chief Treason and bribery vas rife,
and sordid souls were crying " beef, beef,
beefH For screen long years this almost
hopeless darkness brooded over the coun-
try and the people suffered, and labored,
and hoped, until there appeared for them
the dawn of the brightest age of the world
Then,if he contrasts that picture with ours
and feels touch of shame, that doubt
could have entered his mind, let him pray
for strength, and go forth better patriot !
MILITIA: LAw.-The Legislature, at
the recent called session, passed an act
abolishlng the present militia system, and
providing that all persons subject to mill
tary duty should be enrolled by civil
townships, as basis for draft All the
old militia system, land old militia officers,
were thereby abolished. The members
of the Legislature meant to kill that sort
of thing dead.
The bill was sent to the Governor for
his approval, and the Legislature, pro
ceeding On the idea, passed another law,
amongst other things, appropriating the
sum of seventy five thousand dollars tc
carry into effect the present military law
of this State" Intending the one just
passed.
The first bill the Governor pocketed,
and the Legislature adjourned before the
three days had expired in which the
Governor was allowed to reject Or approve
So it did not become law. The second
bill he did approve, and as the ole militia
system remained 'the present one," it
has an appropriation of $4,000 for its
encouragement. The Legislature mean
ing to kill it off, let their foot slip and
fostered it.
This is what the True Democrat hu
morously calls being "most owdaciously

the joke. The Governor got 'em

them-were all, in numbers, enthusiasm and ac-
ton, that the most ardent could have anticipated.
They were literally popular outpouring. The
practical question for consideration seized at
once, that OF providing men in answer to the
Presidents call for more troops. and neariy
s.. 900 was subscribed on the spot, and TIE Board
of Supervisors of the county aud the Common
Council of the city requested 10 levy Tux OF
$500 600, 10 provide bounty of one hundred dol
lars to each volunteer This was eminently the
right action and that these bodies will promptly
respond to the request does not admit OF a doubt
l. vas also recommended that. in view of the
desperate character of the rebellion every citizen
ought 10 provide himself with arms, aud that a
Home Guard be formed.

scripts.
Let the Northern people rely upon one thing.
ln three months from the present time. the Con
federate armies will number a half million of
men, and. from that time onward they will pre-.
serve that status. despite the rAvages of disease
and losses by battle. II the North would wage
successful war, they must devote themselves to
the task with devotion unparalleled. They
must inhict upon themselves a voluntary con-
scription. which shall rival in results the forced
conscription of the South; to the end that we
may meet them, in all their renewed ardor and
strength, more unconquerable than ever, more
determined, more brilliant in surprising the ef-
forts which the past has chronicled in the record
of Federal renown.
