F0rney Afraid Of Peace.

The famous Forney, in late issue

that there is Il growing party at the
North working for dishonorable
peace. He says
There is an active party i'll the
loyal States which under fearpfibeing
for the Union, are at work to force a
dishonorable peace, by sowing the
seeds of disatfection among he.pcople.
Its leaders have called to their aid
the worst prejudiccs and hasest

Ara1s.-Wr find the inllowing in a
Northern paper of the 22d:
Evidently there is not happy ac-
cord between the-President and Sena-
tor Trumhnll. For example, the con-
tiscation and emancipation bill of the
latter is in direct hostility with the
Presidents policy, and will DE vetoed
if It shall pass. Again, the Senator
showed his bristles on the question
OF the confirmation Of Cameron to
It. Petersburg, speaking, it is, said.
and certainly voting against contir-
nation. We believe the Senator as
sumed, upon the accession Of Mr..
Lincoln, to be sort Of mouth piece
of the Administration. 1t is sup
posed the President has not consulted
him on all occasions, hence the cs-
tr:n"cment, which, however, is be-
heved not To be cause of regret with
the President. The Senator hopes to
pass the contiseation and emancipa-
ton bill, and make an issue with the
President upon it The President
does not object to the Issue, nor that
Mr.. Trumbull shall GO over, body
and breeclte. TO the ultra Abolition

How Do Things look New1'-

This.is a question that will admit
Of much discussion, if applicable to
the state Of the Southern country in
a military point Of view, and its me-
and agricultural resources,
as well as its literary talent. Not
more than u year ago, the people of
the South were wholly dependent on
those OF the North and Europe for
everything they needed /; the soil of
the sunny South was unproductive;
its mechanics were not competent;
there Were no literary geniuses. and
we We're indeed in a sad plight.
iWondrous are tbs works, OF God,
we may truly exclaim,, as we go back
a year i'll the history of the South
We have battled for the independence
eff the South since we first colnmenc-
ed our career as journalist, in 1850,
urging the Importance Of home
manufacture, until we met with ridi-
cule from every direction, still we
have, whenever connected with the
,press,-which is truly called a lever
that moves the northumberland to
impress on the minds Of the people
the vast amount Of good and indie
pendence which W ould follow did they
make strenuous exerticus to that end
Our expectations are realized; the
people now are eager to make amends
for the past; they see what has been
lost by their perverseness, and with
"A will and a way they set to work to
accomplish what they have sha,nefully
neglected. They discover to their
establishment that they have the most
productive soil, that their mechanics
are as competent if not superior to
others; their literary and military
characters equal to any on the con-
tinent of North America, and thus
they are compelled to own that all of
these are and have been in their
midst, unthousht of and uncared for.
These stubborn facts necessity has
brought to light. Will we profit by
it in substantial way, kind reader!
AS regards our individual answer, we
fear expressing it at present.

Rccoeattioa.-The regular CORES
pondent of the Savannah Republican,
writing from Richmond on the goth
ult., speaks as follows:
Al last it is reported, and l believe
it, that the independence of the Con-
tederate States will be conceded by
Great Britain and France within the
next forty days. ] is also reported
that the British and French Govern
,nents, and probably the Spanish
Government, had iuiimatrd deter
mination to recognize the Southern
Contederacy on the organization of
,he permanent government in Feb
ruary next; and there is reason to
believe, also, that the blockade Of the
southern ports will be declared i'll
etfectnal and illegal by the same
powers, at the SAME time.
This is the same old story we have
been hearing from the commencement,
and do not feel disposed to .misinform
our readers. The blockade will not
be iniertcrred with, unless the foreign
powers are compelled for want OF
cotton to take the step.
