Reported Recognition of the Southern
Confederacy 1>y England.?A most extraordinary
statement, says the Richmond Examiner,
of Monday,,obtained yesterday in the
highest official circles of the recognition of the
Confederacy by Great Britain. It is certain
that a dispatch agent arrived here yesterday
from England, having landed in the British
Possessions and essaying to reach the South
through Michigan and the West. His report
is understood to bo that he was arrested in
Ohio and robbed of bis dispatches, subsequently
efiecting his escape to this City. The assertion
of the agent is that the dispatches
contained assurances of the immediate recognition
of our Govornmcut by that of Great
jiritan. "Wc give this statement, which is
made in the most positive manner, without
adding any opinion of our own, or professing to
know how the Government has verified or cred^
itcd the report, beyond scmi-ofiicial expressions
of confidence in its truth, which reached us
last night.
Defences of Ciiauleston Harbor.?In
view of the especial malignity, says the Charleston
Mercury of the 31st ult., exhibited by the
North towards the Palmetto State in general,
and towards Charleston in particular, wc are
happy to announce that all our defences arc
in perfect order, and that Gen. Ripley is ready
if not anxious, to give the invaders a warm rereception.
Yesterday the families on Sullivan's
Island received notice to remove. In the
event of an attack, they might have greatly
embarrassed our forces. AVe also hear, on good
authority, that a series of obstructions, of a
somewhat unusual character, have been placed
across the harbor entrance. AVc don't envy
the occupants of any hostile vessel, that, entangled
in these obstructions, may be subjected
to the cross fire of the big Columbiadsi
Dahlgrccns and Killed guns of the batteries of
Forts Moultrie and Sumter.
From a gentleman who arrived from Georgetown
on Sunday morning, says the Charleston
Courier of November 4, we learn that the
\ steamer Nina had arived at that place on Saturday,
and reported that a Federal propeller
k- transport had been driven ashore on Georgetown
outtcr Bar on Friday night, during the
gale. The Nina reports her as being loaded
with army stores, live stoclc, potatos, <fcc. Her
officers and crew, nineteen white men and two
negros, had delivered themselves up to Major
Shaw, of Col. Manigault's Tenth Regiment.
Information had also been received, to the effect
that another transport was off Pawley Island,
apparently in distress. Col. Manigaul^
having been apprised of the fact, had left and
crossed over to All Saints with an artillery aud
rifle company.
Trophies of War.-?Six flags, captured
from the Federals in the battle of July 21st,
have been sent to Richmond from Manassa, and
deposited in the Adjutant-General's ofiicc.
Among them is a large U. S* llag, and another
ofblue silk, formcrls belonging to a Michigan
Regiment. The stars and stripes and the
American eagle, now the emblems of despotism,
are conspicuous in the lot. Though 110 particular
value attaches to the disgraced colors
at this day, they will doubtless be preserved as
mementoes of the Bull Run races. Some enterprising
showman may hcaraftcr seek them
for the purpose of illustrating "wax figgcrs" of
the convivial Congressmen who came out
from Washington to see the fight and ran back
precipitately.
Batteries on tiif. Potomac.?Our battcrries
on tne Lower I'otomac arc reported to be do,
ing cxcllcnt in maintaining a strict blockade of
the water avenue to Washington. This communication
has been hitherto of the utmost importance
to the enemy; and it is estimated
^ that five millions of army supplies came up the
tc Potomac this season, prior to the unmasking of

A young man was enlarging to a lady

The youth wishing to commend her goodness

" Oh, fudge," was the reply, " that is half

Spunky old Yankee "Woman.?We find tho

and said she thanked God that she was

sons, all she possessed in the world, were in

tweny years ago?she would have furnished

If one half the pains was taken to improve
the human race that there is to improve the
breed of sheep, the blood of horses, and the
size of pumpkins, we should have some hope for
the "perfectibility of mankind." But so long
as physical and inoial deformity and disease arc
licensed to perpetuate themselves, the breed ol
ilshapcn sinners will continue to multiply so
ilapidly as to postpone the millenium beyond
the boundary of human hope.
Seward owns large tracts of land near Brunswick,
