inform any one of your readers who was
s. S. Prentiss, as the history of this Won
derfal man is a part of the history of the
country. Many years ago, when he was
engaged in q large practice in Mississippi,
he and his friend, Judge c., were on
the circnit in some of the eastern counties
of the State, and stopped for the night at
the village of H. Late at night Prem
tiss discovered that Judge c. and him.
self were not the only claimants for pos
session of the bed, as he was vigorously
beset by description of vermin who do
not make very comfortable bed-fellows.
Accordingly he awoke Judge C., and
a,consultations was had whether they should
beat q retreat, or make an effort to exter-
inmate their assailants. The latter course
was, however, adopted !; and for the pur-
pose they took from their. saddle bags a
brace of pistols, with caps, powder, and
other munitions Of warfare. With pistols
in hand, they proceeded to raise the bed
clothing; and as one Of the creeping rep
tiles. would start from his hiding-plaee
sbang-bang !! would go the pistols. This,
of course, aroused and alarmed the worthy
landlord, who came in hot haste to the
room, and when he learned the facts was
in great rage. Prentiss demanded that he
should leave tho room, claiming that he
was only exercising the right Of selfde.
fense-a right which the law Of God and
the law Of man had given him. Both the

Recognition with the Abolition OF Slavery.
The London Times discusses q belief which it
has seen recently expressed in Southern journals,
that slavery is the only existing obstacle to the
cognition of the Confsderacy BY European Powers:
1t says: ....-...
That sacrifice is contemplated Is possible, and pro-
posed as polite measure. The Southerners have
carried long step forward the idea which the en-
pOy ment Of negroes in their armies seems to have
originated The plan Of arming negroes IS = meas
ure Of defence has made it still more familiar. The
arguments for and agans. such measure, the nee
essity for it. and the value the negro would astseh
to freedom IS tae reward Of military SERVICE must
be perfectly we'll known to the white population of
the Southern States. On these points they cannot
easily Se deceived, but as to tho effect of an offer
to abandon slarery in it, present tor in Psopitio
ting tho Gocernnents Of Europe, tie Conjsdsrates
may easily deceire Msuaselues. To any scheme Of
emancipation effected by the South itself England
as nation, would certainly offer no word of oppos-
ition on the contrary, We should rejoice in the
change, and wish it every SUCCESS. But We know
we'll that slavery is not the only cause Of the seces
sion of the Southern States; nor is emancipation
the real object of the North in carrying on the war
so persistently. The negro and his condition we're
only one among many causes Of the rupture.
The tendency Of the republic to separate existed
from the day it was constituted was seem dreaded,
and under certain conditions, predicted by its first
founders. Those conditions have been brought
about and a fierce civil war is the consequence
The negro was introduced into the quarrel by an
afterthought. Let the Southerners offer to euasnc
pate their slaves immediately, and propose to the
North As the sacrifice by which they are ready to
purchase its recognition Of Southern independence
The offer would be rejected as valueless. and sab
mission and return to the UniOn veuld be insisted
on as the only conditions Of pesce Every State Of
Europe acknowledged the republic when 1t was
governed by Constitution permitting slavery a.
fully as the Southern States permit it now. Why
should its abandonment hy the Confsdssacy buy
recognition that Is witheld for many other reasons
Dwelling on this theme, the Southerners have in.
duged in speculations which induce . doubt
whether they do not dream dreams and see visions
That they would prefer, in case Of the WORST to
submit to any government than that Of the North,
we can well understand; but = "protectorate'' of
England France or Spain can be only strong
mode Of expressing hatred Of 1.-THE Yankees. ~
We know Of no Eurspeas Pesoer likely to accept
sueh an improbable eDsr. England would Osrtainly
refuse the gift France, with It's recent Mexican
experience, would, we think. "declne, with thanks
And the idea of propitiating Spain, the most o.
stinate slaverysupporting government IN the world
by proposal to abolish the system is 10 eccentric
