Herald says:
notwithstanding the fact that the
great European Powers still with
hold the political recognition Of the
Southern States Of America. in every
other respect they are fast receiving
the justice due them. Socially they
have been long recognized by the
civil! and revenue regulations Of all
countries, their commercial status is
universally acknowledged upon the
! same basis as an independent power,
(by being recognized belligerents,)
and we see by the last number Of
Marryatt's naval signals Of lss4
just received in Nassau, that their
different standards are engraved and
displayed in that -work along with
| those of rth@r independent powers,
as entitled to respect and recogni-
| ton. This latter fact also embraces
tho privilege of insurance and the
maratine rights consequent there
unto.
Never was the true old maxim that

better illustrated than in the case Of
the Southern Contedoracv. Their
credit and commercial relations long
ago established abroad, is Develop
ing its effects. After all, commerce
is the great king, and us we see its
various departments wheeling into
line, one after another, admitting the
inlisputable existence Of Il nation,
it will not be long before the bands
of red tape will rot out, and the poll
teal schemers give way to the tri-
umphant march Of Truth and jus
tice. The Con ,ederacy has had two
battles-one with her enemies, an
other with her friends. We hope
before many months pass, the latter
will be won, and that accomplished,
the history of the past three years
guarantees the successful result of
the former.

Loss and Gam by the IFar.-A
comparison Of the census of lS60aud
1868 shows, that the number of slaves
in the entire State ia 1850, onl v s.
sos have been lost since then, above
the natural propagation and other
causes.
OF horses, in that portion of the
State under our control, we have lost
23,2Ol.
Ia 1860, the numbe. of cattle re-
turned for taxation in the entire State
was l.O2l,l&S or nincty-scven for
every one hundred white persons.-
In 1853, the number of cattle within
the territory, free from tho occupn-
ton and incursions of the public en-
envy, was 5O7,l52 to which add . per

the actual and taxable numbers, and

Those who seem to know, SAYS the
Gonzales Enquirer, inform lie that
the past winter was the severest upon
cattle ever known in this State. The
number that has persisted is incredi-
BILE. Men who gave in to the Asses
sor last year five and six hundred
head, now give in twenty-five, fifty
and sixty, only. Some estimate the
loss as low as one-half, whilst 9th ers
put it as high as nine tenths. Which
Of the two estimates is nearest cor
rect, we cannot say. but it is certain
that the loss is very great.

The state Of affairs since our last.
has been as t}attering as could be de-
sired. From Arkansas we have in
telligence Of the defeat Of Steele on
the Saline bottom. From below we
have information that Gen. Majors,
captured transport on thu Sd, inst,
between Alexandria and Fort De
Russy, having on board the l2Oth
Ohio regiment, consisting Of 275 men,
exclusive of officers. Gen. Hebert
sent information to Headquarters at
this place, that the enemy were at
tackled at Calcasieu on the 9th inst,
resulting in the capture of two gun
boats, the Granite CITY. and Wave,
Together with sixteen guns, and about
eighty prisoners.
Rumor says there was land fight
at or near Charleston, in which the
Federals were defeated, with loss
to them $1,000. Our loss slight.
One of our gunboats just complet-
ed is said to have sunk three iron
clads at Wilmington, n. G.
A more glorious weeks summary
could not be desired, and we feel con
fident that our readers need not APP
prehend, for some time, news of 6
different complexion.
