is not carved out by its own sword and good right arm. If we can whip a power bringing half a million of soldiers against us, we can afford to use the sternest language to all powers in whatever appertains to our dignity and self-respect. We consider our recognition virtually secured by the events of the last week. Nothing more is needed but the form of recognition, and that soon follows the substance. The recognition will not be owing to fawning nor to solicitation, nor to bargain, nor to cotton nor diplomacy. It will come as a tribute to our physical power, to our moral heroism and to our force of character. At the same time that the nations will court our trade and strive to extend their commercial relations with our people, will they respect our power and pay homage to our moral firmness and elevation.--With recognition will also come the practical benefit of the virtual repudiation of Lincoln's blockade and the speedy opening of our ports to all the ships of the world.

d North State. We have some ten regiments in Virginia, or in the vicinity, and our coast troops are anxious to quit their quiet posts and hie to the scene of war. We are all pleased to hear you compliment our regiments; by pronouncing them excellent and well equipped. You will observe that all our regiments are full ones, numbering 1,100 and over. So, in speaking of our twenty regiments in the field, you will understand it to mean over 20,000 men, suitably armed — whereas, in counting up Lincoln's forces, in many instances, a regiment is only about 900, which would give for twenty regiments only 18,000 men. Two or more companies have been formed in this town and vicinity within the last few weeks, making about nine companies for Orange county, which is doing quite well, considering this was the headquarters of Cornwallis, whilst many were found in his times to side with the outside Government. But we apprehend things have changed. No Tories now, but every man, woman and chil

Cameron Endeavors to cheer Lincoln's friends. Washington, July 23. --The Secretary of war telegraphs, in reply to a dispatch from the New York Union Defence Committee, as follows: "To cheer our friends to active exertions, that we may speedily retrieve our misfortunes, we are making more vigorous efforts to concentrate a large and irresistible army at this point. Many regiments are advancing. The works on the South bank of the Potomac are being well manned. The Capitol is safe. [Signed.] Simeon Cameron."

returning at a very late hour. He approached the door and knocked. His wife came to the door and said, "I know you, Mr. Lincoln; be off; how often have I told you not to come home when you are drunk?"-- "No, wife, I am not drunk" "But you are, MrMr. Lincoln; be off." "Wife, I am not drunk, but have got some of the most glorious news to tell you." "Well, what is it," said Mrs. Lincoln. "Why, I've been nominated for the highest office on earth — for President of the United States!" "Be off, be Mrs. Lincoln.

Lieutenant General Scott. We do not know any feature of the late battle, the contemplation of which affords us more exquisite satisfaction than as a defeat of General Scott. The "bubble reputation" was never more a bubble than in his case; but as long as it floated in a serene atmosphere, propelled by the soft, flattering breezes of an admiring public, it was impossible to test its solidity. Where is it now? Backed by the immense resources of the Lincoln Government, with an unlimited draft on the eighteen millions for men and money, with the best military talent of the United States, aiding, advising and executing, with the whole disposable regular force of the United States at his command, and with time of preparation enough to convert volunteers into regulars, and with the odds of two to one, he took the field, expecting to crush the Confederate Army as the tornado crushes the pine. He has given it out for months that he held us in the hollow of his hand. Telegraphic

What Lincoln has done for us. It is rare that a good word is said for Lincoln in the South, but a Texas correspondent of the Montgomery Mail has certainly succLincoln in the South, but a Texas correspondent of the Montgomery Mail has certainly succeeded, in this instance, in giving the Devil his due. He says that, from the very first, Lincoln's course has been all he could have wished — his self- chosen positiLincoln's course has been all he could have wished — his self- chosen position as President of a party, and not of a nation — his refusal to answer all questions — his pitiful sneaking through Maryland--his Inaugural, calculated to alarm hisparole of honor given by the officers captured by law in Texas, all prove that Lincoln is equal to the occasion. The Morrill tariff was happily contrived just in thnation, and of consequence favorable to the Southern Confederacy. In this way Lincoln has secured us the good will of that intelligent, liberal and enterprising clahern General could ever make it as completely a fact accomplished, as this Abraham Lincoln, who has driven from the old Union its wealthiest States, and has been co

President Davis. The departure of President Davis for the seat of war affords a grand contrast to the conduct of Lincoln, Seward and the other Black Republican leaders. They who have caused all this peril and disorder refuse to share its dangers with their countrymen, but leave their wretched dupes to bear the whole brunt of the tempest. The Southern President repairs to the battle-field with the first gun of the invading army, encountering the perils of battle and the more terrible haz leaders. They who have caused all this peril and disorder refuse to share its dangers with their countrymen, but leave their wretched dupes to bear the whole brunt of the tempest. The Southern President repairs to the battle-field with the first gun of the invading army, encountering the perils of battle and the more terrible hazards of capture, with all the heroism of a great, generous soul. We should think that even the Northern people would blush at the contrast which Lincoln presents.
