The Fears OF the North OF Recognition.

The Fears or the North or Recognition.
The news from Europe has renewed
the fears OF the North of recognition.
The New York Herald. speaking OF the
proffered mediation of France. says:
We hear from reliable source that
the Emperor of the French has no con-
fidence in our acceptance OF his propo-
sails for peace conference. and he makes
them merely as preliminary 10 more inn
poriant steps. We are assured that. ia
case of the formal rejection by our Cows
eminent of Napoleon's offer. he will con-
slider that the period has arrived for the
recognition of the Confejeracv by France
alone. if the other powers of Europe still
refuse TO act jointly with her lie -
we'll aware that the United States neither
will nor can accept his mediation. and
hence makes The offer with great parade
and affectation of humane sentiments, and
then stands before the world AS a would
be benefactor and pacifier. Napoleon
will say have done all could 10 ar
range this matter amicably. The North
refuses my proffered services. AS
last resort acknowledge the Confeder-
acy. in the hopes that Europe may fol-
low my example. and this fearful civil
war be thus ended.
There is one circumstance which will.
we fear. hasten the Emperor's recognition
of The Davis Government. We refer TO
The correspondence intercepted by the
rebels which proved that Napoleon
agents were tampering with the peop's
of Texas. and endeavoring TO pursuade
them TO declare their State free from the
Confederacy under the protection of
France. This was an untimely disclos-
ure for Napoleon, and will force him TO
give the South some immediate proof OF
good will. If only to eG,ce The effect of
his scheme What other proof can he
give save the recognition of the Confed-
eracv /? In this pfedicament Napoleon
will be urged into immediate recognition
of the Confederacy and. IN spite Of the
obstacles which he finds ut home in the
ray of such course. he will. we fear.
take a measure which events seem fore
ing upon him.

VITAL QUESTIONS.


EprroR MTssIssIPPIAS In your issue
of the 18th ult.. appears commuaica-
ton from farmer of Lawrence county.
on the subject OF the Militia and Supplies,
The ideas suggested BY the writer are
worthy the serious consideration of every
thinking man. If all the men are to De
called out and put into the militia. who
are to make the crops and raise bread !?
How is the army 10 be fed Who is TO
make bread for the women and children
of the poorer counties. where there are
no slaves? The grim monster Famine,
already near the doors of many. will as
suredly enter. Is it to be annihilated :?
Are our military statesmen so infatuated
with the idea of grand army that they
are blinded to the inevitable consequen-
ces of their folly +? How is the grand
army TO be fed ? You Withdraw the la
borer from the pillow, and where are your
supplies TO come from ? 1t requires
something more than. grand army to
carry On war. Supplies must be made.
else your grand army will sink of its
own weight. But what right have our
officials to manufacture grand stand
ing armv out of the militia ? The word
militia" implies its nature. 1t means
body Of men to be call out occasionally
for short periods of time. in cases of
pressing emergency. But portion of
the militia have been in the field eight
months. and God only knows how much
longer they are to remain. 1t is mis-
homer, perverslon of terms. TO call the
present system a militio and the officials
who manage the concern seem conscious
of the fact. for they dub it by the upho-
neous title of Mississippi State troops"
which is but another name for standing
army. Again. the last Legislature or.
dered and by law commanded Tie militia
officers to deliver mp and discharge all
conscripts that might be in the militia,
in order that the conscripts might be
| sent TO camps of instruction to fill up the
thinned ranks of Bragg's army and other
Confederate armies. But what care
those officers. who breed and fatten in
the sunshine of military power. for an
act of the Legislature ?-they treat it
with scorn and contempt The con-
scripts are still in the militia. and Bragg's
army is still without recruits. He is
still powerless to move against the for
midable foe in his front. And what
good are the militia doing? They are
eating up the substance of an already
wasted land, and are kept out. il is said !,
10 enable swarm of miserable officials
TO drcO their pay. The papers are ad-
vising the people to plant heavy crops of
corn but l would ike to know What is
the use TO plant when there will be no
one to reap or cultivate. Hence we see
fields lying waste and no preparation
being made 10 plant them The famous
militia system has done more injury to
the wealth and prosperity of the State
than Lincoln's army ever would have
done.

Some time ago. says the New Orleans
Delta, a planter up the coast sold his
sugar and cotton 10 gentleman in this
city. amounting in value to $4,000. The
gentleman paid him in cash. and left the
purchased produce on his plantation. TO
be called for at some future time. The
guerrilas getting wind Of the Transaction.
visited The plantation and destroyed the
property. A day or two since the gen.
teman who had purchased and paid fog
the articles, happened to be passing the
plantation on a steamer. The boat
stopped Tor a few moments to wood. aud
while detained there. the planter came
on board and refunded the money.
This was an honorable action. and
worthy Of the loyal Creole population Of
Louisiana. He was not legally bound TO
return the money. as the property had
been left on the plantation at the risk Of
the purchaser but IN the eyes Of this
honorable gentleman such course would
not have been honest, and his conscience
would never have been quiet while he
had the money in his pocket fos the COT
ton and sugar destroyed by the guerril-
las.

CABBAGE-Gardeners have heretofore
been too negligent in the cultivation of
this vegetable. Many have passed il by
believing that they could grow nothing
but "blue stem collards" in this country.
A more serious mistake never was made
in any country. Large white head cab
bage can be raised here in Georgia and
Alabama, as well as on the sterile hills of
New England. Now for the plan Se-
lect your acre. or half acre. or more
still. if you have force enough, get a
sufficient quantity of well rotted stable
manure and spread it nicely over the
plat of ground. and then spade it in neat
ly and evenly. procure good seed for
your seed bed, and at proper times set
out your plants. Keep them well hoed
and when dry time come along. water
with solution of hen dung. Pursue
this course for two or three years and
you will have srot of ground of the
best soil-deep. Don't be afraid of
getting the soil too deep-the deeper

come different from long collards TO blue
