A Visitor to the Southern Confederacy. Mr. Russell, the London Times' correspondent, it is said, is commissioned to pay a visit to the Cotton Confederacy, with a view to ascertain what public opinion on the secession question really is there. The stupid and systematic misrepresentation of that part of the country, by the Northern Republican journals, is too much now, even, for intelligent Englishmen — and hence the dispatch of a special correspondent, by the leading British journal, to enable it to see and judge for itself. The step is one which does as much credit to the impartiality as to the enterprise of our transatlantic contemporary, and there can be no doubt that the reception of its correspondent, by the Southern "Barbarians," will be quite as genial as his reception in this latitude.--New York Express.
