WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1861.
Justice for Ireland.
A Monster petition for the Repeal of the
Legislative Union between Great Itritain and
Ireland is about to be presented to the Impe
rial Parliament. The petitioners are Irish,
end there can be no doubt that their move
ment, which is less noisy but more dangerous
than before, has been the result of Lord John
Russell's vehement vindication of the right
of all oppressed people to assert their own in
dependence, and of , the duty of England to
recognize their efforts to do so.
Is Ireland. misgoverned None but an ig
norant and conceited writer dare pretend that
she is not. Neither has Ireland been pro
perly governed by-England at any time during
the seven hundred years which have elapsed
since, by fraud and force, the Anglo-Normans
effected her subjugation. Ireland never has
been paternally and honestly governed by her
English oppressors. Ever since Henry the
Second obtained a footing in Ireland, the uni.
form policy has been to rule the country by
dividing her inhabitants—to set class agaihst
class—and, after the , Reformation, to array
creed against creed. At this very moment,
the great majority of the Irish people, being
Catholics, are, compelled to' support the
Church of England in Ireland, as by law
established," and also have to maintain their
own clergy, and erect and support their own
places of worship. This, toe, out of ex
treme poverty.
Moreover, Irishmen are rarely appointed to
high station in England, never in Scotland,
very seldom (except the Judges and Jaw
officers) in Ireland. The Irish Viceroy is an
English Earl; the Irish Chief Secretary, Mr.
Cardwell, is an Englishman. Nearly all the
other high appointments are tilled by Eng
lishmen. With four exceptions—namely,
Lord Clare, Lord Plunkett, Masten Brady,
and Francis Blackburne—lreland has had none
but English Lord Chancellors, and since the
reign of James the Second, nearly two cen
turies agn,Deland has had only two native
born Viceroys—namely, Lord Wellesley, from
1821. to 1828, and Lord Bessborough, in
1846-7. Even the Archbishop of Dublin is
an Oxford man. Yon may travel Ahrough
Scotland, however, without finding any but
Scotchmen in responsible and lucrative
Government offices. It is only in Ireland that
to be a native of the country seems looked
upon as a disqualification for high office. In
India, two-thirds of the good appointments
are held by Scotclimen, nearly all the remain
der by Englishmen ; scarcely an Irish name
occurs in the'long list of office-holders there.
In the Colonies, it is much the same, the main
exceptions being that, in Australia, a few high
offiees are held by Irishmen ; some, brit fewer
still, in Canada ; and Francis Hincks, a native
of Cork, is Governor of the Windward
Islands. -
It is very well to pooh-pooh these facts, and
still maintain that Ireland is fairly dealt with
by her cruel step-mother. The British Cabi
net consists of fifteen politicians, and not one
of these is an Irishman. We take the list of
cc Ministers, Officers of State," &e., at the
conclusion of Dod's Parliamentary Compa
nion for 1861, and there find seventy-three
great offices, and, among their occupants, how
many Irishmen ? Mr. Bagwell, a Junior Lord
of the Treasury; Mr. Ritzier° Brady, Lord
Chancellor of Ireland; and the Irish Attorney
and Solicitor General, who must be Irish
lawyers. Lord Bessborough, an Irish peer,
is Master or the Buekhounds; but, besides
being an absentee, he was born in London,
and sits in the House of Lords as an English
Baron. We turn from Dod to the Illustrated
London Almanack, which has a fuller list of
general appointments, and find, among two
Judges, each with a salary of not less than
£5,000 a • year, half-a-dozen Scotelanen, corn-
Mewing with Lord Chancellor Campbell
,(with £lO,OOO per annum), only two Irishmen
—both Justices of the Court of Common
Pleas-viz.: Sir James S. •Wiles and Sir
Henry S. Resting. Lord Monteagle (former
ly-Mr. Spring Rice) is Comptroller of the Ex
chequer, and Sir J. Emerson Tennent is Secre
tary of the Board of Trade; and we cannot
find any other Irishman, save Mr. Bagwell,
already mentioned, who holds high office s
Here is the full count of high English offices
occupied by Irishmen—one Junior Lord of
the Treasury; one Comptroller of the Ex
chequer; one Secretary of Trade; two pu
lane Judges. Per contra, crowds of English:
born people, and a large per centage of
Scotch.
With the two exceptions, (in the Treasury
and the Exchequer,) 44 no Irish need apply"
seems to be the rule for English appointments.
No Irish in the high situations in the Privy
Council Office; nor in the Education Board;
nor in the Lord Great Chamberlain's Office ;
nor in the Crown Office ; nor in the Privy
Seal Office; nor in the Home Office; nor in
the Foreign Office ; nor in the Colonial Office;
nor in the India ciftice ; nor in any of the five
offices of the War Department; nor in the
offices of the Admiralty and Marine ; nor for
the Woods and Forests ; nor in the Duchy of
Cornwall ; nor in the Post Office ; nor in the
Custom House ; nor in the Inland Revenue
Office ; nor in the Audit Office ; nor at the
Poor Law Board ; nor in the Civil Service,
Copyhold, Estates' Emigration Commissions;
nor at the Mint; nor in the National Debt
Office ; nor in the Public Works Loan Office ;
nor at Trinity House; nor in Heralds' Col
lege; nor in the General Register, Judge -Ad
voeftte-GeneraPs, Public Record, or State
Paper Offices; nor in the Duchy of Lancas
ter; nor in Courts of Law, (except the two
Judges, Willes and Keating, in the Common
Pleas,) said Courts including Chancery,
Queen's Bench, Exchequer, Admiralty, Ar
cher, Bankruptcy, Probate, and Insolvency ; ;
nor in the Vicar General's and Faculty's
Offices.
Half a dozen Irishmen, and about fifty
Seotchmen in about three hundred of the
most honorable, influential, and lucrative
offices in England. Not one Irishman in the
Cabinet. Yet, indeed, we are to be told that
Ireland has no cause to complain of being
slighted, no right to raise the cry gf Ireland for
the Irish."
Ireland fain would pin Lord John Russell
to his deliberately expressed declaration that
every people who desire self-government
should have it. He said, let Italy have a dis
tinct nationality, under the ruler of her own
choice; let Venetia, if so it please her, cast
off. allegiance to the Emperor of Austria, and
become part of the new Kingdom of Italy;
let France prefer a Bonaparte to an Orleans
monarch ; let Hungary reject the misgovern
ment of Austria; let Poland, eschewing the
tender mercies of the Czar, again become an
independent country. But, when the case of
Irebmd comes before him, be cries cc Oh, Ire
land must not come within this category."
Must not ! And why ? Has not Lord John
Russell, speaking not only for the Ministry,
but for the Queen of England, declared that
the people themselves are alone to judge
whether they are governed paternally or op
pressively. 4‘ The Irish are.well-governed,".
says Lord John. But he has no right to give
an opinion, for he is one of the Ministry whom
the Irish accuse of misgoverning them- As
an accused party he cannot act as judge in
this matter.
In the eyes of the Monarch and Government
of England, have the Irish fewer' rights than
the-Italians, the Hungarians, the Poles? May
foreignera seek to change their rulers, and the
Irish not ?
Does Ireland prosper under British misrule?
If it , did, would a million and a half of Irish
people have perished of famine and disease in
1847 'Would other millions have fled from
the land of their birth and their affections to
seek another home, under more, equal laws, in
the New World I Look at the Census Re

That is, tho Irish population about a mil•
lion and a half less now than it was forty years
ago. No wonder that Ireland should desire
to alter the fatal connection under which such
a fatality has occurred. No wonder that a
Parliament in College Green should be eager
ly desired. No wonder, should that fail, (for
remedies are sometimes applied too late,) if
Ireland should aspire, like Hungary, once
more to be an independent country.
Infantry Tactics.
In an emergenoy like the present, everybody is
Inquiring for the best book on Infantry Tactics,
and the relative merits of Cooper, Scott, Hardee,
Gilham, and others, are disowned by thousands
who are putting them to praelleal use. Only a
few words, after careful examination, are needed
to settle their claims Cooper was the manual
many years ago. Boott's improved manual, in
three volumes, entirely superseded this, and was
appointed by law as the regulation drill for the
army.
Gen. Scott's excellent work wee, almost, without
alteration, translated from the Fretted, from whom
all the world has drawn, and is contently draw
the most improved military inetruotion. /n
arrangement and erectness;
it exhibits Gen.
Scott's characteristic care andprecision.
Finding, however, that French invention and
ingenuity had made further important improve
ment', the United States Government appointed
Uolonel Hardee to superintend the translation of
the new French system for Light Infantry, and it
was at once adopted by the Secretary of War for
all infantry regiments of the United States army.
The movements are simplified and rendered much
more rapid, and the system, as a whole, is far
preferable to Scott's. There is a complete drill
for infantry of the line, as well as light infantry.
Now, it is a disagreeable feet that Col. Hardee,
who translated the book, and has no other merit in
the matter, and Jefferson Davie, who, as the Secre
tary of War, ordered its use, are both is the ranks
of the enemy. But to denounce its use, as one of
our ootemporaries has done, on that account, is
like refusing to study Euclid's geometry or to apply
the principle of the lever, because Euclid and Ar
ohimedes were heathen.
The simplest remedy, if one be needed at all, is
to let Secretary Cameron hone a new order, and
change the disagreeable name to " Authorised
Tactics for the United States Infantry." Mean
while: let no one care for the name, but use the
best for its own sake, and thank, not the translator,
but the Frenob, for their excellent instruction.
The Manual of Arms In Soo We Tootles is not suited
to the improved rifle musket, while Hardee's is.
The movements in Scott are too slow, and require
many halts In formation, while Hardee makes
many manainvres In double quick time, and with-
out halting between two.
Hardee is the book for the use of the troops now
drilling. By all means let the Government and
State authorities look to this, and not put us fifty
years beck in this matter.
Gilbam's Manual is compiled for volunteers in
all corps. It contain, a treaties on Artillery, with
the complete artillery drill ; one on Cavalry, with
a complete drill; and Hardee's Infantry drill,
(with Boott'a manual of arms for the old musket,
when that is used, wbioh will only be when the
rifle musket cannot be had).
tfllham has also a complete set of forme of all
the papers used for companiee and regiments, mne•
ter-rolle, commissary, and Qaerterreaster papers.
In short, it is an invaluable wade mecum for the
soldier in barracks or camp. Wham, to our mor
tifiestion, is a Virginia officer, but the book was
prepared when Virginia was as thorough-going a
Union State as she is now thoroughly demoralized,
and by a person entirely competent to make it.
Fas est at haste doom; says the old proverb,
and we mud use these books with as hearty a good
will for their own merits as though George Wash
ington had written the one, and Andrew Jackson
the ether ; and with the excellent spirit which
animated the first to resist unlawful oppression,
and the second to crush unlawful secession.

To the. Hon. Charles J, Ingersoll.
• PHILADNLPRIA, April 29, 1881
fire: There is a painful report current that you
have invited the living five ex•Presidente to take
steps to settle the present diffioulties. Now, while
no man doubt. your patriotism, and your anxiety
and desire to have this foal rebellion put down,
yet, if you will look at it in a comprehensive man
ner, and with the eye of a statesman, yon meat
know that the hour of amicable adjustment has
passed away—you must know, that unless armed
traitors unconditionally surrender, that there can
be no peasmable adjustment. What, air ! settle
this rebellion amicably with armed traitors? Im
possible ! impossible ! Let me direct your atten
tion to some things, which, no doubt, you have
already thought of. The conspirators went into
the Charleston Convention, and afterwards into
that of Baltimore, with the avowed intention and
purpose of breaking up your party and mine. No
doubt some well meaning Northern Democrats
unknowingly aided them; but, on the other hand,
there were a few Northern renegades who were
willing to perpetrate any crime, treason included,
which their Southern mestere dictated. Then
oame the different nominations for the Presidency,
with what results we know. After several overt
acts of treason—after Floyd had robbed the United
States Government of its war material, under the
very nose of President Baohanan '
and placed it
within the greet) of rebels—after Mr. Buchanan
bad neglected,. criminally neglected, to reinforce
our national fortresses—then Caine the insult to
the national flag, by firing on a United States
vessel. Next the bombardment of Fort Sumpter,
and its capitulation by its handful of heroes.
livery insult and injury heaped upon the Federal
Government, until the blood of our brethren, the
defenders of our national existence, redden the
streets of Baltimore, and their murderers thirst for
more. Now,' I appeal to you if this is not a fair
statement of facts, as they have - marred during
the past nine monts. Never mind going back to
the Abolitionism of last year or the year before, or
to the nullification theories of the school of Cal
houn, because there is no time to think at present
of past faxiaticiams or treason ; we have now to face
and deal with the stern realities of civil war, re
bellion, and treason. Settle these first, and then
for discussing minor questions.
It appears to me that our diffieulties can only be
adjusted in one way. If the North ie in the wrong,
it ought to be beaten. I have met no man who
does not agree with me that the North is right.
Then, as the North is right, she
- is certain to win,
provided she be not deluded by miserable attempts
at compromise There can be no compromise with
rampant treason. The North has right, might, and
money on her side; and, although she was caught
napping, she arose like a giant from a long and re
freshing sleep, and has taken her destiny and that
of the Federal Union in her hands; and woe betide
thelmethamone reputation of the man or men who
shall attempt to divert or turn aside the righteous
indignation of the people.
I have seen remote in the public press that an
armistioe or truce is asked, or about to be asked
for: No truce, no armistice. Never, never in the
histbry of nations was any people so .profoundly
upheaved from its very recesses as ours has been
during the <past . fifteen days. The strong arm of
the Almighty. that nerved and guided the men of
'76 has not abandoned this nation in 1961. Let
no political legerdemain attempt to thwart the
final settlement of this creation ' for it must be set
tied now, finally, and forever. Dou think, sir,
I that patching up a compromise own be permanent ?
You must know that the political desperadoes who
Wire plunged the nation into civil war, unless they
are- utterly, (noshed out, will: be ready to perpe
trate similar crimes upon future occasions. They
must be rendered Towering for migobief. Do you
not see that the ministers of every oreed—that the
members of the legal and medical profession, as
well as the working classes and commercial com
munity, are almost a unit to conclude this war only
in one way, and that way is, that the laws of the
United titates snail be put in force in every State
is Union, and that the right of 30001610 n shall
be'foreimr ignored ?
With regard to how this le to be done, it is the
duty of the Cabinet to designate the method ; and
it is equally the duty of the people to sustain the
constituted authorities. There is another tepid
that ought to be brought to the notice of our State
Legislature and City Coattails Our volunteers,

The War-Cry.
BY E. Y. .1.-A BRIT/BD LADY
[For The Preen.]
Mark! 'Tie the.tramp of war,
Resounding through the laud,
Calling en all the true and brave
To join the patriot band.
Let no one now be found,
In this the hour of strife,
Who is not willing to defend
His country with his life.
Let not the glorious flag,
Whioh o'er tte le unfurled,
By any ruthless, rebel hand,
prom its proud height be burled;
But bravely rally round it,
Its honor to defend,
And show that no false traitor
Can make a patriot bend.
The' 'tie no foreign foe
With whom you now contend,
But one ere treason's reign appeared
Your brother and your friend;
Let not this stay your arm,
For noble is your otiose;
Then, rise, orush out the rebel host,
That would subvert your lawn.
Your country now doth call ;
Lot hor true eons reply,
And for her ensign bravely fight,
-
• Or nobly for it dbl.
Then hasten to your post,
And, let your wavory be,
Sail to tho stations Stars and Stripes,
Union and Liberty.
Union 'Sentiment in Delaware.
CorrezoOndenoe of The rrese.)
GREENWOOD, Del., April 29,18.61
The citizens of this email village, and vielnity„
on the Delaware Railroad, raised, on Satifrday,
the 27th, a line ash pole, sixty feet above the
ground, and run to the top of it the American sag,
the stars and stripes of our glorious Union. This
is, perhaps, the first flag unfurled to publlO"view,
the present year, in sinesex county, and is In the
DemoOratio banner Hundred of the State. A few
tories from the neighborhood were :present, as
lookers-on, and seemed to indulge in low Murmur
ings of hatred for the flag of their country, which
they are miscreants enough to wish to Bee humbled
by the black flag of rebellion.
A call for a Union meeting of the county, irre
spective of political parties, to be held et George
town, on the 7th of May next, was circulated at,
the same time for signatures, and received the
names of the patriots present, and membeirs of all
parties. The traitors, however, who looked upon'
the flag with polluted eyes, refused to sign the Mi.
And the reasons they severally gave were rather
amusing. A part objected because, they said, it
was an enlistment for the war, and as they didn't;
frisk to fight, they would not sign -it. The others.
said, they didn't know whose hands they might,
fall into, and they wouldn't sign it, for fear of,
giving offence.
There are a large number of Disunionista in this
county, but the number of eitisens in favor of their
country predominates over the others, and the
Government is increasing in strength. The un- -
mietaltable Union mevements In New Cootie county,
and particularly in the City of witatlngton, have
oaused the wavering to take the side of their Go
vernment, and canted " a change to come o'er the ,
spirit of their dreams," with several Disunionists,
who are looking to the people for office. ,
The Douglas men of this county and State are,
to a man, on the aide of their Government, and
opposed to all rebels and usurpers within and with
out its territories.
Delaware wall not secede, even if every other
slave State should go out. It will remain In the
Union, and depend upon Pennsylvania to return
its fugitive slaves who may esoape into that State.
The defection in Virginia and Maryland has
strengthened the Union sentiment in this State.

An adjourned meeting of the citizens of Consho
hocken, Montgomery county, was held on Wednes.
day evening, April 24, at which, as at the prelimi

mittee appointed at the previous meeting, were -

impossible,) have not only taken up arms in
open rebellion against the Government, WI- "
ed the Federal arms, money, and forts, but -
are granting freedom of piracy on our oom- .
memo, and have actually threatened and are

The Plans of the Rebels.
In January last, when various peaoe propositions
were under comdieration in the United States
Senate, allusions were frequently made by South
ern Senators to the probabilities of flush a oonalet
u has now been oommeneed. They freely uttered
threats against the North, of which the following
extracts are specimens :
(From the Sunk ofieffArsoliltavis, delivered January
lo iss .7
My friend from Louisiana, in closing his remarks,
referred to the dicastroue nonce which might be
oosasioned by the invasion of the South. .He did
not offer the other tide of the picture ; and yet I
have seen that, in Northern papers, be has been
criticised for saying even what he did. There is,
however, another side to the picture. An OW
with banners would do but little harm in march
ing through a country of plantations. Tbeywould
have but little power to en/heist-themselves in *
sparsely.settled region. They would Ind it hard
to feed the army with which they.invaded, and
would have no power to bring ally printers and
fugitives. Now stands it on the other side? In a
country of populous attire), of manufacturing town;
where population is gathered from the country into
towns and villages, the torch and sword eon do
their work wale dreadful havoc, and atarriug
millions would weep at the stupidity of those who
had precipitated them Into siksad a policy..

px Why. air, how would this war of coercion be
waged ? It would' take V 100,000,000 yearly, for
you cannot wage it with less than a hundred thou
sand men , and where would you get this stun?
Not from imports : for what would the imports of
the northern portion of the Confederacy be when
you took from them all that comer in return for
the exports of the South ? Yon would have to sus
tain the war by loans and direct taxation ; and
lo it to be supposed that the people would bear
such burdens in Each w cane as than? I be
lieve they might submit to any just and necessary
taxation in the defence of their own legal and ne
cessary rights; but would they submit te such a
Bo h m ° of taxation for the purpose of eifovoing
their yoke upon other people--for the purpose of
depriving those other poopla of the right of self
government ? Whose would be the commerce
that would be preyed upon? Not the Southern
commerce. That would, go in foreign bottoms.
The oommeroo to be preyed upon by Fri-vitae"
would be the commerce of the other section of the
Confederaoy. — lf it came to a question of ponder,
