A FOREIGN Vnw.-A very able correspond
ent of the London Timss, who signs himself
aHistoricus," is publishing series Of articles in
that paper, taking the ground that no foreign
power can recognize the Confederacy go long as
our Government maintains serious conflict
with the insurgents, and holding that this is the
principle upon which Great Britain has uniformly
acted. He cites precedents from the history Of
the South American Republics, of Texas, Greece
and Belgium, in support of his position. The
Federal Government, he holds, "would be JUST
fed in regarding such recognition as declara.
ton of war, and in following it by corresponding
acts.' The papers are exceedingly able, and
excite much attention among English publicisss.

man who Is member of the 18th S. G. Rrgi-
ment writing from Pennsylvania under date of
June the 2sth says. that he has been very much
disappointed in the people of that section of
country. Education there is at very low
stand and the females are extremely coars, and
and although many of them reside in
fine houses it is not at all un:on non to see
them .fromenadi"g the streets bare footed
Whenever the females of any country are 'os-
tituts of piety and refinemen, it is n iulr index
of tho intidelity and moroseness Of the males.
We Of the South may rest assured that we
are engaged in gigantic war against a set Of
reckless fanatics whose numerous acts of van
dalism nEd cruelty have clearly proved them
to bs semi'Savay0s. and it is Well that We have
unsheathed the sword to sever tho aIliance
with such people; may that sword never re.
turn to its scabbard until We are delivered from
the Northern yoke of tyrrany and oppression.
