ngthened since the civil war began. With a view of observing strict neutrality between the contending States, we have carefully refrained from officially recognizing the South; but the time has certainly arrived at which we cease altogether to believe in the possible reunion of the States, and at which we must, at all events, recognize the independent confederation of the South as an actual fact. President Davis speaks with just indignation of the seizure of his Envoys to the Courts of France and England; and there is a passage in this part of his message which throws a probable light on the distinctive mission on which Mr. Slidell and Mr. Mason were sent to Europe. He remarks, with some evident pride, that the Confederate States have been content to fight their own battle, and have solicited no assistance from foreign Powers. But he declares that they have a right to bring before Europe the question of the application of the existing blockades of their own ports to the acknowl

g a considerable period of time; and while the Northern Government is too distant to admit of its attitude entering materially into this question, the Southern confederation, on the other hand, stretches for a great distance along the frontier of Mexico, so as to render its friendly disposition to the authors of the intervention of no slight consequence. The Northern Government has invariably railed at our neutrality; but the Southern, with statesmanship and moderation, has recognized in it all that we could do for either party, and whether with a view to our transactions in Mexico, or to our relations with the Cabinet of Washington, the friendly forbearance of the Southern Confederacy is an important point in our favor. [from the London times, Dec. 7.] The President of the Confederate States has delivered his Message on the meeting of the Southern Congress. The usage in the Northern federation is for Congress to meet on the first Monday in December, which this year fell on

We have differences with the North in which the Southerners are directly interested; and we have just concluded a treaty with the Juarez Government of Mexico for a settlement of our long-standing claims upon that country, under the "Aldham Convention," and other recorded obligations. Our naval expedition to the Gulf of Mexico is charged with the execution of these terms; and, probably, before February next the system of sequestration of customs revenue at Vera Cruz and Tampico will have been put into action, and the proceeds be accumulating for distribution under the mixed commission between the despoiled residents and the wrong bondholders. We must look upon this intervention as one that may be in operation during a considerable period of time; and while the Northern Government is too distant to admit of its attitude entering materially into this question, the Southern confederation, on the other hand, stretches for a great distance along the frontier of Mexico

This is, in fact, the only satisfactory and significant information that the present American packet has brought. The "Trent question" remains in statu quo. The opinion of the law officers of the W that we must bring ourselves to believe in the permanence of their independent confederation.

ay) in drawing warlike supplies from this country, through their superior command of the sea. President Davis will no doubt derive fresh confidence when he reads the two royal proclamations which, in the latter respect, have now placed the North and South on a footing of equality. But there has been scarcely a single State over run by the Northern army during the whole course of the campaign, and it is much questioned whether the naval expeditions of the federal government to Hatteras and Port Royal have done much more than slightly to reduce the privateering activity of the South. The assertion of the Southern President must, therefore, he admitted to be substantially true, that "the reconstruction of the Union, which the Federals seek to effect by force of arms, has become more and more palpably impossible." He maintains, also, that the causes which brought about the separation not only remain in full force, but have been strengthened since the civil war began. With a view of obs

So long as the subject of the "Trent" remained with the public there was no moderation in the rantipole tone of their popular utterances. Wilkes was a very illustrious hero, and the British Lion a clawless beast only fit to be kicked and insulted. They treated the affair, not as a stern, practical reality, but as a subject fit only for a silly furore and rage; suffering themselves to be t into over Kosauth, the "Japs," Temmy, and the Atlantic Cable. The indignant outcry of the British people and press, however, has startled them from this imbecile folly and phrenzy. The Cabinet at Washington had to look the consequences of Wilkes's act full in the face. The question was, "Is it our interest to have a war with England" It is clearly not their interest; hence the sudden display all over Yankeedom of the hack-feathers.

They still cherish the delusion that, though at great cost of men and money, they can bring back the wealth producing South. As they commenced the war on us open a miscalculation, so they are continuing it — interest being their inspiring genius in the whole proceeding.

The white father. --If the North has really backed down, and displayed the white feather before the demand of England, it is really no great subject of surprise. A people that never yet consulted honor, pride, honesty, or decency, when a question of interest was concerned, is precisely the people to fall on its knees to Great Britain in a conjuncture like the present. It is true that a universal opinion prevailed, founded on the outgivings of such organs of Yankee continent as the Herald and Times, that the British demand would not be listened to. But those sheets are as accommodating as the weather-cock, the slightest breath from the public being sufficient to veer them to opposite points of the compass. The opinion of the stability of popular opposition to the British demands was also induced by the known madness and infatuation of the Puritan mind, and the vast con it cherishes of its power and prowess. It was not reflected that the interests of the Yankees lay great

Charge of Homicide. --A free boy of color named Beverly Randolph, was arraigned before the Mayor on Saturday, upon a charge of killing a fellow-apprentice, named John Henry Ashby, at the barber shop of Robert Francis, on Main street, below 17th. Robert Francis testified that on Christmas Eve Beverly was waiting upon a customer, when John asked him for a knife, and he soon afterward learned that John was stabbed. Beverly said he did not do it intentionally, and was only "projecting" (i. e., playing) with John. This was about half-past 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, and the boy died on Thursday morning, between 1 and 2. Wm. Phillips testified that he was in the barber-shop on Tuesday night, and Beverly was waiting upon him. John asked Beverly for a knife, and the latter replied that it was "up yonder; don't be fooling with me." Another boy pointed to where the knife lay, and John reached up for it; but Beverly got hold of it, and the other tried to take it from him Bever
