Yours respectfully,
ALEX. r. MIDWAY,

We give the above letter from Dr. MIDWAY as an
act of justice to that gentleman.
We agree in opinion that letters OF the kind referred
to ought not to be anonymous but in fact received
less attention from than usually devote to the
supervision of communications. However, since it has
appeared, we do not know that its appearance is to
be regretted since it affords the physicians opportu
nifty to place fairly before the public matter which
certainly has talked about, probably without a
full understanding of the facts of the case.

+r,oor letter dated Paris, Dec 26th 1862, which
!. srrived here via Nassau.
The writer evidently intelligent gentleman and
occupies position calculated to give more than usual
weight to his opinions The drift of bis remarks is
that if the Confe3sracy avoids defeat during the months
of the present Spring vidorte will be required
10 evoke from the Cabinets of Paris London and St Pc
tersburg recognition of its independence with such
action win permit free intercourse between the cit
of the newly recognized nation and the subjects o
the recognizing powers. In plain terms, we presume
forcibe breaking of the blockade and military interven-
tion, if necessary, is indicated.
We give this opinion for what it may be worth We
corfess that although unwilling to attach much impor
tance to of recognition or Intervention, do
attach some Importance to this nesmuch as it comes
direct and not through Northern channels and as the
writer is in position to know something of the matter
of which he speaks. He is military man, and proba-
bly,, at least in part, with the pardonable national
vanity of Freachan, speaks rather dsparagngly of the
conduct of military operations this side of the water
regarding the vast bodies of brought into the field,
BY either party, but especially by the North rather as
immense masses of organized militia, than regular
armies. In this he may be tc some extent right. The
armies on this Continent extemporzed, and sup
pose must lack much of the training and organization
which ages have given to the military esta bshment of
