For EUROPE Col. Richard Thomas Zarvona,
recently released from Northern dungeon, after
two years confinement, and for the past month
sniournng in Richmond, has, or is immediately
to sail from Southern port for Europe. When
he returns, it will be, probably, on the deck of a
Confederate steamer of beligerent class, like unto
the AlaDama.
WELL DoNE.-Northern dates of the 18th
state that whilst the steamer Maple Leaf was
veying 800 Confederate officers from Fortress Mon
roe to Fort Delaware, on Wednesday the prisoners
overpowered the guard, captured the boat, and
run her in near the Virginia shore, when all but
26 escaped. General Dix sent cavalry after them,
but up to the latest advces they had not recaptur-
ed them.

NORTHERN iTEMs-The democratic State Con-
vention of Ohio unanimously nominated Vallandig-
ham for Governor, and Hon. Mr. Pugh for Lieut..
Governor. Pugh made speech defying such Or
ders as have been issued by Gen. Burnside. A
committee was appointed to wait on Lincoln and
demand that Mr. Vallandigham be restored to
Ohio rive are glad to learn that Vallandigham
has left the Confederacy and is now on his way
to Canada
The Illinois Legislature was adjourned by the
Governor in consequence of divisions between the
members as to the proper time to adjourn. The
republicans retired from the Hall and left the
democrats without quorum. The action Of the
Governor created considerable indignation.
The yankee enrolling officers in some parts of
the North have been pretty roughly handled by
being stoned, rotten egged, and shot,
MORE RUMoRs OF RECoGNITIoN-Northern
papers Of the 10th bring interesting
advices FROM Europe. The rumors of recognition
are again revived. On the goth ult., Mr. Roebuck
gave notice that at an early day he should move
that an address be presented to the crown, praying
that her Majesty would cause negotiations to be
entered into with European Powers, with a view to
the recognition of the Confederate States. Lord
r. Montague gave notice that he would move an
amendment to this. A great meeting was held at
Sheffield lately in favor Of a recognition of the
South The Mayor presided, and ten thousand
persons were present Resolutions were passed to
memorable the Government On the subject The
Paris correspondent OF the London Morning Post
also reports that fresh efforts are being made by
Messrs. Mason and Slidell to obtain from the
European Governments the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. The Paris correspondent
of the London Morning Herald says that MIR
Mason's presence in Paris has strengthened the
report of the approaching recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. The great stumbling block
continues to be the stubborness ofa portion of the
British Cabinet. The general impression is that
France will take the lead in the recognition of the
South, and the rest of Europe will not be slow
to follow

New York, Aug. IL.
An officer Just returned from Charles
ton confirms our previous statements
He says it 10 next to impossible to batter
down Fort Wagner; that the men keep
under bomb proofs, upon which our shot
and shell produce no effect that the only
way the fort can be carried is by direct
assault, which will not at present be at
tempted. The chances of knocking Fort
Sumter to pieces are better. Indeed, II
was generally believed there that that fort
will speedily fall. II it falls our forces
cannot occupy it, rs it will be battered to
pieces. Even should we take Forts Sum.
ter and Wagner, there are other forts
that have got to be overcome, and the
rebels, who are rs busy rs bees day and
night, are erecting battery after battery
on the way to Charleston. The military
force is not deemed sufficient, and will
have to be largely reinforced before the
finale is contaminated.
The public may at once divest them
selves of the idea that any startling news
is coming from Charleston at present.

new loIk, aug. ~.
Affairs remain quiet at the front. Pick
ct firing has ceased entirely, and both
armies seem to have settled down into q
state of lethargy. There is no large force
of the enemy north Of the Rappahanno ck.
though sort of picket line has been es-
tabIishsd from United States ford to Ac-
auia, via HARDWOOD Church and Stafford
G. H. This line is very weak and offers
little or no resistance to our scouting par
ties. Most Of the prisoners captured from
the enemy profess desire to take the
oath of allegiance. They oil express
themselves rs being tired of the war and
utterly discouraged. The degree Of dec
ti,ution in the rebel army exceeds that of
any previous period.
No information has been received yet
indicating that Lee has been reinforced
to considerable extent. A few con-
scripts and companies are arriving from
time to time, but i, ic not believed any
portion Of the Southern army has joined
the forces in Virginia.
The success OF our cavalry in pursuit Of
Mosby has checked his operations and the
section between Washington and the ar
my is now comparatively free from gusr-
riIias.
A Baltimore correspondent of the Her
aid says: "My information, nsver at fault
heretofore, places the number of reinforce
ments at $4,000. which makes Lees
present strength $4,000. These were
all old troops Lee is besides receiving
some conscripts, which will soon swell his
number 70 r3U,oO6. The main body of
this vast army is massed on the line Of
the Rspidan, with Lees headquarters at
Gordons.ille New cavalry squadrons
are being drilled and exercised in the
Shenandoah valley. /, would seem that
Lee is organizing some new batteries of
artillery service, with large pieces; prac-
tice takes place daily, at some points on
the river Various squadrons are being
exercised. guns are being received, and if
not new are SO bright that they look new.
There are twelve of these batteries at one
point in the Shenandoah valley.
