Lord Campbell, in the house Of lords, asked,
when tao Southern Confedaracy should be
recognized as an Independent government,
would it remove the last hope Of the North to
snbisgate the South; and would it materially
influence the FejeTals 10 coming TO an arrange

The Fooa OuertlotI,

Most serious amidst al the psIils cur
young ConfsdeTacy has now TO encounter, re-
marks tho Charleston Mercury, is the irTegu-
larity Of supply in the provision market There
is not, nor has been, any real scarcity Of food
in these southern States; the difficulty is owing
solely to the lack of systematic energy and en-
terplise in the distribution of the abundance of
particular districts, among the communities Of
less favored localities. Doubtless the work Of
distribution has been seriously embarrassed by
the want of adequste railrosd facilities; yet we
cannot but believe that with such as we have,
economically and prudently managed, the more
pressing wants OF the country might easily be
met
III a matter so vitslly important to our cause
the people ought to come forward aud assist the
government, as they have already done IN ths
ciothing Of the army and the Gaze Of our sick.
The men who, in q crisis like this, hold back
grain or provisions from the market, in the hope
Of hereafter reaping larger money profits, are in
hictng upon this imperiled country blow more
deadly than any traitors hand could give.
While the government is exerting all its euoT-
gies in the great emergency, the people should
see to It tkGt the whole existing resources Of she
land are brought out
Under the provisions Of the late impressmeBt
bill ample protection is provided for the produ-
Ger. His interests are guarded very minutely,
and wrongs cannot be again praeHeed. Under
these circumstances, let the planter not only
labor to increase his store to an abundance by
tilling the soil, but also furnish what can be
spared from his present stock at once. An ex-
animation has demonstrated that there is more
than enough now IL store to supply all wants
until the next harvest can be made available.
and if our people viii but perform their duty, the
idea Of our being starved out viii soon vanish
even from the hopes Of cur enemies.
r A writer in the Family Herald (London)
says:
'Mr. Kinglaks, the historian of the Crimean
war an observsnt statesman and member Of
Parliament, gives il as his conviction that the
Times newspaper alone caused the war. If 50,
it has made bankrupt one empire, eaused the
death Of the greatest Emperor Of the age, estab-
lishad another on his throne, broken the power
Of the noblest in Russia, fresd the seTfs, rem
dsred thonsSnds Of women husbsndless and
cbildiess, killed more than one general, made or
ruined the reputation of others, and made hun
dreds Of our best families mourneTs."

x No event, says the Richmond Eranizsr,
is more significant, or deserving of considera-
ton, than The result of the Confederate loan in
Europe. A demand for fifteen millions of dol
lars, secured by the cotton which the Conlede-
rate government has tsrdily collected, was aa-
swersd by the subscription Of Fifty millions in
England alone, and probably as much more on
the continent The stock sent over sells for
five PER cent premium, and it is evident that if
the Confederate government applied for three
huodred millions on this safe security it could
be obtained in a few weeks.

Esr At test drill between three crack regi-
ments, near Tullahoma, the other day, says the
Chattanooga RcBeI, in the presence of Generals
Hardss, Breckinridgs aad others, with General
Polk as judge, the 18th Tennessee bore off the
palm. Tbs 18th is one Of the most gallant
regiments in the field. Although, perhaps, not
having been in SO many engagements as others,
it has had an equal share of hard service and
privatiOn.
Those who have had a correct account of the
affair at Fort Donelson, and Of the part this
regiment took, need not be reminded of the stern
foT.itude with which it withstOod the onslaught
OF ths enemy for three successive days, repuls-
iug them in every sitenpt to turn our right, and
especially on that ever to bo remembered Sat
urday evening, whom, as General BUCKNER
expresses it in his report of that action, " the
gallant 2I Kentucky, having been routed by
overwhelming numbers, were turned upon the
position of the 18th"
Since its exchange in September last, this
regiment has been in Gen. Breckinridge's d.
vision Gen. John c. Browns brigade. It was
in the famous charge Of the % of January, at
Murfrses5oro, where it lost one-third of its num-
