The SHuoti0n.-lt is not likely that our
Confederate Government would send Mn.
son and Slidel as Commissioners to Emo
and and France, while we have abl. man
there representing US. We think they
were armed with credentials as Ministers
and as such have presented them. AS such
the Governments of England and Franc.
had either to receive or reject them. Under
ali the circumstances we are confident thew
have not been rejected. II these Govern,
ments ever entertained the idea Of recogni
ton Of the Confederate States, they would
not reject the accredited Ministers of on,
Government, at a time when they had re-
ceived lame attempt to trow Off the
reparauon due them for great principle
which those Governments had u right to
require TO be recognized. These Govern.
ments will recognize our Ministers. and
present their protests to the United States
Government against the Inefficient block
nde, while they make their arrangements to
remove it. We expect good news by IN,
next arrival from Europe.-So. Carolinian.

From Cedar Keys, Florida-Reported
Capture of the Town.

gentleman just arrived from Florida
(says the Savannah Neos,) informs rs shat
the town Of Cedar Keys, Florida, situated
at the Western or Gulf terminus of the
Florida Railroad, was taken possession of
by the Yankees on Thursday last.
Cedar Keys is n small town with about
thirty houses, and probably one hunded in.
habitants. The bar hns nine feet of water,
and Is good harbor for small VESSELS
At the time the Yankees took the place
there were three schoc ners oading and FIVE
fishing smacks at the wharves Our infor.
mant, who had an interest in one of the
schooners, which was loaded with lumber
and turpentine, feels confident that the
owners of the vessels in port destroyed
them rather than that they should fall in to
the hands Of the enemy. Some timo since
the Confederate troops were withdrawn
from the vicinity of Cedar Keys.
On Thursday night last, as soon rs it
was ascertained that the Yankees intend, ID
to attack the town. Mr. Yulee, President
Of the Railroad, went down with two com.
Panies OF Infantry. to protect the property
IN the vicinity, md check the Yankees ad.
vance. A messenger frem Cedar Keys was
sent to GAINESVILLE, Florida, the nearest t.le.

that the Federals had attacked the town.
and asking him to send assistance. During

ANEcDoTE OF SIMON CAMERoN-A Penn sylvanian, now in the army, relates to us a traditional anecdote of the secretary of war, which is probably as true as the pos thumous stories of the juvenile days of great men generally are; and we, therefore, put 1t on record for the benefit of his future biographer.
 IL was the custom aforetimes in Penn- sylvania for mothers to place an apple, silver dollar, and Bible before their chil- dren, as soon as they were able to toidle about, and, with mothers interest and satisfaction, watch them make their choice. It was considered indicative of their more snatured prediictions. In accordance with this custom, the mother of the infantile Simon, as soon as he was able to stand on his pins, produced the articles and set them before the child, hoping in her heart he would select the Bible. But not so Simon. The future secretary of war took some- whet deliberate view, and, with less rever- ence than King Alfred, mounted atop the Holy Writ, pocketed the dollar, and com menced munching the apple. It is need- less to add that he has been at that busi- ness ever since.- Cincinnati Commercial.

to bounce on some poor oyster fisherman. One could still further fancy how he would like to have first class steel frigate like the Warrior" (English) or the ''La Glolre," (French) to punish those ma rauders and vampires, that in the nineteenth cen tury civilized governments permit to perform &C., tions that they themselves have admitted were acts of hostility and insult to the whole human race. On the pier lay the baoys taken up to conceal the chauuel from the enemy. There was an air of melancholy surrounding the place; one could not help rumnating on the prospects and the events which the next few weeks might produce.
 But with regard to the effects of the blockade and it's efficiency. was told before coming here that it was very inefficient. If it be true, that one hundred and one vessels cleared from this port for Havana and arrived safely; it is evidently inefi- cent, but know positively that number of ves- sels had been taken on the return trip and quite number scuttled or burnt to prevent their falling into the enemy's hands. 1 am also told that it seems to be the enemys policy to permit vessels to get out and get to Havana with the cotton but that when the cotton is sold and the proceeds invested in a return cargo, they are almost to be taken on the return trlp-lf not taken, they are pursued so closely that the owners have to set fire to the ships and are glad to escape with their lives. Out of four vessels, which recently left this port three of them were burnt on their return trip, and the fate of the fourth is not known. Under these cir cumstances it is risky matter to speculate after this manner, and those who expected to mak large fortunes in that way, have come to the conclusion that it was bad investment, and that the little glory acquired, was bought at a very high price.
 As fear that have already made my letter too long, will conclude by remaining

NEW SEWING MAcHINE.-We have been shown the patent granted by tho department at Richmond to Dr. W. B. Martin of this place for Sewing Machine of which he is inventor. The model of the machine passed the inspection of the best mechanics that this country can boast, and all without an exception, pronounced it the most complete for the purpose for which it is designd that has yet been placed before the public. It possesses all of the good points of machines now in use, but none of their ob- iectionable ones, while 1t has also some valua- ble features peculiar to itself It does all kind of sewing with ease and facility-the freddie ia so arranged that start as you will it gose as it should-the thread never tanglss-it sews equally we'll forward and backward, so that the work passes parallel with the operator, to the right or left as she may choose--in short the machine is perfect whole. We hope soon to announce that it has been offered to tf.e public. We predict Q pid sale for it, when it dose en- ter market.-Fayetterilte Tsnr. O6serrer, Jan.
