"Ifhe Dis-united States" was the taunting phrase used thoutands of times in English newspapers and magazines when disetssirig the affairs of this country durini.tl pro slavery rebellion. 'lt was a ,sweet' little epigrammatic morsel for , the , palates or Englishmen, and it had all the more delleivs flavor when they thought of their Sumters and Alabaman, that were sweeping the seas of Am'eriban commerce; midi under the pre- tendons flag or free, anti-slavery Britain, were , supposed to be helping to destroy a Republic that bad for its avowed fundamental doctrine'the equal rights of all men. "Me these States United ?" is the taunting caption of a leader in a British,free-txade,cop perhead and piratical Journal of New Yotk, when discussing, in • its last number, the 440stility of Southern rebels to the Union they failed to destroy. This question need" not be answered now, any more than it did when the stupid . English of three or four 'years ago belleve.d this Union to be utterly and for ever destroyed: But there is perfectly good ground, at the y present moment, for retaliating _with the phrase, "The Disunited Kingdom of Orestßrltaitt and Ireland," and asking, in all sebeineas; "Is that Kingdom . United'!, The corquefit of Ireland by the English was vcrsininn And cruel act. The means adopted. by the Irish of the present day, and by their friends in this country, for throwing off the. Britisb :despotisrn, cannot be called wise. But the fact that the, conquest, was cruel an d the government is hateful is not to be dis puted. The Irish people detest the English people and the English Government with a hatred that has never been excelled In the hearts of any people, and there never was a better reason for such detestation, The Trish are of a • different character, different religious faith, ass n , as far as h; POSSible With humanity of one color and one climate, a differtnt race from the English. They have, if left to themselVes, the capacity for making a government for themselves, which might not please the Eng lish but which would be acceptable to the. Irish, and 'which would help to make there prosperous as well, as happy. They have seen their country despised, neglected and abused by a foreign and hostile but victori ous neighbor ; and at least as many Irish people have, been driven from Ireland by this cruel and hateful English despotism as can auw be found within the limits of the Green 'lsle Itself. It can hardly be said that the wisest and the best of Irishmen have ,left Ireland ; for • many of them that are in England and America are wasting in crimes and Tollies—in murders, infernal machines, incencliarisms and mock funerals—means and energies that might make Ireland free, if properly directed. But if all the Irishmen, in Ireland and out of it, could be brought together under wise le-ader ship, they could anfiwould make Ireland not only a free but a great nation. But this is a matter for separate considera tion. The question in this article , is whether, etymologically, nationally, politically and morally, there is any propriety in speaking of "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." The so-called " Union" is forced and monstrous. It is maintained against the consent of the governed in Ireland, and with out pride or interest on the part of most of the English people. For generations the monarchs of England assented, in the le gends of coins and documents, the title of Kings of France, after every foot of French soil had been relieved of English sovereignty. There was even more . propriety in keep ing np such a harmless fiction, th es there is in speaking of "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland," in this day, whoa not one thorough Irishman in a hundred, can be found to accept cheerfully the dominion of England. If this Irish hatred of the Euglisb were a new thing,'• it 'could 1)4 combatted with some chance of its being overcotne. But it is c enturies old, and it grows bitterer and deadlier every year. The events u4w oe,curring are adding more and snore to its bitterness, and making it every day more absurd to speak of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and frelaral." •TUE ..tritArrAitx atsysliert:.

These two gallant officers will go most unwillingly to .Skating .Auket skarn(' JaaketA. Avkatinil Jcwkets• Skating Jackets,' Bola' Sla% 000 Suite, Boya' Suits, Boor Suits„ their new,duties, ano we read the announce ment of their appointment with sincere re gret. They are not men whom their friends will expect to make themselves the tools of AndreW Johnson, and yet; if they undertake to administer their Distriets on any plan not in exact accorance with his wishes and those of the ex-rebels, they will soon fall vie tuna to his despotic will. It is not strange that Gen. Meade should have done all'an officer can to avoid the discomfort and the perilous responsibities of the duty which the President thrusts upon him. Mr. Johnson has but one gift to bestow which any good man can covet, and that 'is his displeasure. Pet- then in this country are strong enough, to outlive his pa tronage and approval.. We know that Gene ral Meade will go to his new duty with a con scientious :desire td execute the laws in their letter and in their true spirit. He will find froth the er y 'start thaf thust either resist a tremendcms, though insidious rebel pressure, or, yielding to its demands, sacrifice, the proud position which:hello holds, to-day, in thh•esteem;of the whole loYal North. In his administration of the Department of the East, he has been prudent, industrious, vigilant and efficient,' and, we are very sorry to lose him from, a., position which he has so gracefully, adorned and in which he has so ably done his'cluty. deneral Meade can only succeed, as com mander of the Third Military District, by maintaining an absolute independenCe of the political influence of Mr. Johnson. He can easily afford to come under his displeasure, but he ,cannot afford to forfeit the cordial sympathy, approval and support of the loyal men of the country, who will never counte nance that compromise with Southern rebels which. is the foundation of "45 1 ' Policy," a'n*.d which, the President expects all his mill ,tary-appd!ltet3s to carry out. We earnestly desire his suttees in his :new field; but, like all his predecessors, he will be rigidly judged by the country, according to the course he ptu.Sues, and he will stand or fall just as ho chooses, between the plain 'meaning of the laws which he is to execute,and the distorted and false interpretation which General Grant's "astute lawyers" place upon them at the bidding of their mtister, Andrew Johnson. dels4ol SALT AND SAVING CLAIISES. All old play-goers . will remember "Paddy" Power's performance of the part of. Phelim °Flanagan, in the roaring Irish comedy of "O'Flanagan and the Fairies." Pitelpi wa; - , sadly addicted to poteen, and after wip::i ng the heart of his Kathleen, the lady -positively refused to bestow her handt het .Over had taken a solemn pledge to 'drink no more whisky. Pheam ag,.;oed to the comiltion, and be celebrated ',Ale 'fiigning . of the pledge by getting cor;„azikaily fuddled in honor of the eeee:Loit, and 'while in that predicament ho dlell'a ttialill of exceptions to the pledge whldh 'he , had taken. In the body of—tEe niffinnent he bound himself never more to ' indulge in liquor, ' and then com menced - his modifications and excep tions. "When his riverence comes to see me he will want a wee drap of ' course, and as it would'be indaycent not to take something with him, I'll just take One drink.' And thet his rlyirence likes a little of_the craythur before' dinner and a little . 'after dinner, and a wee Sup to wash down the praties. And as I will only drink when his rivirence drinks, there can be no harm in that. Then I now that his rivirence likes his morning dram and a drap before he goes to bed, and on the days that becomes to see we it will only be daycent to do just as the presto dues and take a couple of extra. drinks. . And then on the days that his rivirence don't come I'll just do the same as if he was here, and' Dl' talie an 'extra sup or two to drown sorrow!" Now if anybody would attempt to persuade the vpistafflan member from the Twenty second Ward, that he is attempting to repeal the wholesome anti.salt• ordinance of City (Annals approved March p, .1867; he would indigneritly . deny the imputation and protest that in' the.bill' which he is about to offer in Select Council, he is merely getting out a Falun codicil of exceptions to the original ordinance.( The exceptions would prove to be of thaoPlanagan order, in the event of the passage of the bill :of the rotund. gentleman, pod outhe occasion of the first snow storm the streets would be as extensively, corned as the ingenious Mr. O'Flanagan , was when he test put his ttinperance pledge, with excep lions, into operation. The bill of Mr.' Sinith proposes ,to allow .the use of salt on all streets west_ of l'wenty.third and north of lici kb streets; and en Ridge avenue north of :Master street, and on all their switches and , l'unieb; and on all, streets crossing Willow street, between Willow , and' Callowhill streets, whore the gradient As ascending for var travel; and on Jefferson itud Master streets out,., Hancock to Second Atrtiet; on Second and Fouttit streets, from PoplA t north four i, moiled feet; on 'Sixth street, fm Thump bun 14 , •Giond avenue; on Elev th street, from Thompson street to Coltunbi avenue; on Girard avertuo, north side, ' frora Apple .tact to loinr, 'street; ou 1: weuty-thirat, street, vent .

The Fifteen-bushels-tithe-mile dodge was a failure, and this latest sharp es.- pedieni will share the same fate. The citi zens of Philadelphia do 'not believe in first imposing a pledge of total abstinence 'upon those gay deceivers, the city Tailway com panies, and then allow them to;pickle one half the city, because they are glad of an ex cuse for doing it, and then proceed to corn the other moiety because they are sorry that they have not got any better excuse. It is a pity that poor Power met with an untimely end. Were he living now Mr. Phelhn Smith's tactics would prove a splendid study for him in an' improved delineation of his whisky-loving temperance Irishman. • The romans have at , last done something in Ireland that may be considered an act of legitimate war. On the night of the 27th a party of thern made a dash upon a Martello Tower near Cork, and after evereetning and scattering the guard, they, gathered together a quantity of arms and ammunition and suc ceeded in getting off, with them. Bqt what ever credit there was in thiS achlevthent was neutralized by an attempt' that was made the following day to destroy the general Post r office at Dublin by means of creek fire. The attempt failed, as all such dastardly demonstrations deserve to ' fail. It the Irish Fenians were to make war upon armed men, as they did in,the cap ture of the Martell° tower at Cork, their cause, would win respect and sympathy even from those who have no faith in their ability to accomPlish their object of giving an hide pendent government to Ireland.. But the world turns with disgust and loathing from assassins , and incendiaries. Such practices as the blOwing up of Clerkenwell prison and the destruction of many innocent persons ; the placing of infernal machines in post offices, the\buning of warehouses and the use of Greek fire for incendiary purposeS, would ruin the best cause the sun ever shone upon. The official report of interments, in Phila delphia, for the year 181;7, makes the whole number i :1,933. This is . 2,870.1e5s than the whole number for the year 181;1;, audit shows au extraordinary degree of good health. The population of Philadelphia is, not less than 700,000. The death-rate during the year has, therefore, been just ' about ono in every fif inhabitants. It Is not probable that su a moderate rate of mortalityin a year c n be found in any large city in the world. Phila delphia retains its character as the healthiest of all American cities. - The anuouncement of the Italian Opera sea 60n, to commence next Monday, will be read with interest.

The month of January' promises great activity in the stock markte, and an improvement in general business that will stimulate the whole country into a healthy activity it not seen for the past two years.

LONDON, Dec. 30.—1 t appears that the great Powers of Europe have determined to ask of the Emperor Napoleon the basis of the conference to which they have been invited by him, and through which France seeks to negotiate a treaty for the settlement of the troubles of Italy. It is stated that the inability of Gen. Menebrea, Prime Minister of Italy, to recosestruct the min istry is now the principal cause of delay in per fecting the arrangements for the meeting of the conference. :1 , 8 0 ,849,5% '.5,173,008 41,1381.1.074 37,32.1,297 4 571 811 37 14 2.0 '6,753 21.412,315 The Recent Plititary Rehiovale. (Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) WAsugi , a'oz, Dec . . 30.---The only topic at all discussed to-day here of any interest is the recent removals of Generals Pope and Ord. Many speculations arc afloat in regard to the latter, and it is claimed that the President only removed. him upon the urgent solicitation of General Grant, who, according . to this version, has disapproved all along of - General Ord's ac tion, as being unjustifiable and uncalled for, and dangerous to the welfare of the country. This is not a true statement of the case, as your correspondent happen to know, having received the informa tion from such a source as to leave it unques tionable, that Gen. Grant did urge upon the President the relieving of General Ord, but not because he was dissatisfied with that cflicer's administration,bnt merely for the reason that Gen. Ord had repeatedly requested both officially and privately, to be assigned some other command where the duties would not be so conflicting. Upon this request from Gen. Grant, the President consented to change Gen. Ord, and included him in the general order issued on Saturday, 4nd his remoyal cannot, therefore, be con,idercd as brought about by po litical reasons. Gen. Gillen), who assumed command of the 4th District until the arrival of Gen. Mc-Dowell, was closeted with the President sonic time this morning, and leaves here to-night for Jackson, Iliss.,-to relieve Gen. Ord. WASHINGTON, December 30th.—The office. of Consul-General at Havana has been vacant for some months, the Senate last simmer having failed to confirm the nomination made by the President. As a consequence, Mr. Savage was left in charge of the business as Vice-Consul. Mr. R. R. De Lartintrie, a clerk in the State Department, was sent to Havana several weeks ago, to relieve Mr. Savage, and will discharge the duties of Consul temporarily, or until a Consul- General shall be duly appointed by the president, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The new Danish Cheirgo d'Affaires, Mr. Belle, •was officially received by the Secretary of State, in that capacity, on Saturday.

There was not tho least sign .or any kind that foretold this great reVolution in nature, when at once, just about a quarter to three o'clock in the, afternoon; there WWI heard the underground rumbling noise, whibh was - innaidiatelyy. followed by a terrific ` earthquake, which seemed to comq from south by, west and pass on to the north by east.

Directly after this second sholk the ocean, which shortly before the first shock had seceded from the land several hundrea feet, was seen- to riselike one huge wave and come In towards the harbor. It stood up like one straight white wall, about from fifteen to twenty feet high, and ad vanced very fast into the harbor, sweeping or upsetting the small vessels before it, and raising the. large men-of-war and steamers to its top. ,The appearance of this wave was Ike a whie-masoned wall, erect and straight, as :1 made after a rule, and had no appearance at all of a wave in general. It broke in over the lower parts of the town to the height of a couple of feet, and to the extent of about two hundred and fift feet' inland, according to the level of the locality. . This wave rising was re peated a second time, after an interval of 'about ten minutes, and this seemed to be even a little larger than the first, and went a little further in-, land. After these two waves had passed away the ocean remained, as far as the eye could see, again quite calm, just as before the first shock or the earthquake. The shocks continued and were felt every few minutes. It was as if the shocks of the first day hung together as in one chain; but from "a quar ter before three o'clock on, the morning of No vember Ii), the shocks were felt more separately and distinct, and, therefore, seemed as if they were more frequent. From a quarter to three o'clock P. M. on the 18th till a quarter to three A. M. on the 19th there were eighty-nine shocks. From a quarter to three A. M. on the 19th till midnight there were two hundred and thirty-eight shocks. The shocks became less severe from the 21st of No vember. The writer gives the exact hours of every one, also the hour of every rumbling noise without perceptible shock accompanying it. TIM SOUTH. Seifci foethe Destitute People of the South General Howard proposes to meet the cases of distress in the South by a liberal application of `the surplus funds under his control as head of the Freedmen's Bureau. An unexpended balance of over !!.).8,000,000 still remains in the exchequer of the Bureau. In the case of some South Carolina planters, who had no money to commence ope rations for raising cotton last year, Gcn. Howard, though not legally - Authorized to Make such disposition of the Bureau funds, advanced a sum 'of $.80,000, taking alien on the crops for the repayment of the money. When the planters sold their crops the entire amount was liquidated, and General Howard's beneficent course was gratefully appreciated. In the case of the Mis-, sissippi planters, who lost everything by the river inundations, it is proposed to adopt a similar considerate and politic plan of action; , and to relieve immediate distress among the working people it is suggested to es r , tablish depots of provisions at points convenient to the districts in which the greatest want pre vails. , General Gillem advises that some such steps should be taken and acted on without de lay. General Gillem, in a conversation with 3 our correspondent to-night, stated that the pre sent distress, in his judgment, was confined io the alluvial counties of Mississippi,, where the planters had all of their agricultural implements swept away by the overflowing. He admits there Is a rising of the negroes, but not of a political character, the scope of the insurrection em bracing nothing more than the slaughter of pigs and poultry. The conspiracy against hogs is espe cially sanguinary, numbers of them being nightly waylaid to furnish pork suppers for the hungry dollies. Necessity not being cognizant of law, and neither,work nor food being within conve nient reach of the negroes, , this, method of satis tying.nature's longings is considered justifiable by the friends of the negroes. General Gillem received assurances from the President and Gen eral Grant that whatever schemes he adopted to give immediate relief to the sufferers in the South would receive their approbation. The Angola Slaughter. (From the Buffalo Courier, Deeembern7.l The Buffalo and Erie Company has a man at Angola engaged in picking up relics at that point and as fast as obtained are forwarded to this city. The charred remains of Mr. E. S. Med can't!, of Erie, were gent home on the 9 o'clock train, Christmas evening. The friends of Mr. R. F. Gibbs, of Texas, who was among those burned on the last car, were in this city on Mon day, and have recognized the clothing of the deceased and claimed his baggage. The baggage of Mr. A. L. Van Buren, Of Albany, has also been claimed ,and taken possession of. Mr. Leonard, - of Byron, Ohio, has claimed the baggage of his daughter, Miss Emma Leonard. Mr. Gibbs was a very large man, and his charred remains have been recognized. Neither the remains of Miss Leonard nor those of Ur. Van Buren have vet been -identified, but there is little doubt that they arc among those in the vault. A largo trunk, unclaimed, is marked "Marks, Chambers street, New York city." The personal effects picked up at the scene of the disaster have been placed in a case, with a glass top, at the baggage room of the road, in this city; and are open to the inspection of the public. The itkets are as follows:—A bunch of eight keys, one of which, supposed to be a money-drawer key, is marked "119;" a - bunch of keys, six in number, one of which is marked "739;" a third bunch, four in number, ono marked "300," and with the name L. Yail, or Gall, maker; the rem pants of six gold watches—one is a Swiss watch; one a Tremont, Mass; one a patent lever, made by 31. J. Tobias & Co., of Liverpool, England; one marked "Joseph Abell, to -A. T. Norton," and one is a small silver one, evidently that of a lady, with chased edge we; a small gold chain. found on one of the charred bodies, an old-fashioned tobacco box, "afichor of hope;" a lady's pin, with - tbree loaves; a pair of iron skates, with a screw fastener at tached to the heel; a small trowel and a small lath hatchet. None of the above articles have been identified, and, we publish the list, in the hope that some of Mm may be recognized by the friends of the deceased. Mr. H. A. White, of No. 203 Main street, one of the jurors, has in his possession the bat and a portion of the valise of the late John W. Chapman, of Boston. The hat is marked "J W. Chapman, Nos. 200 and 201 Hanover street, Boston," and was placed oh the bead of young Dickson, of this city, soon after the accident. Chapman was standing behind Dickson when the latter jumped, and the hat must have fallen from his bead either in the de scent of the car or at the collision with the em bankment. CITY BULLETIN.

The Purchase of St. ThOhlas. (Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Btillatin.l WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-1 t appears that the neW Danish Minister, who arrived here a few days ago, was unaware that there was any difference between the Executive and Con-, gress regarding the purchase of the Island of St. Thomas. His friends state that Secre tary Seward had so represented matters to the Danish Government as to leave the impression that the treaty would be quickly ratified by this Government. Immediately after his arrival ho called upon Mr. Seward, to con sult with him in regard to the matter, but the latter pleaded an extraordinary pres sure of public business, and bowed the the Dantsh Minister out very politely, leaving the latter feeling considerably chagrined at hie reception by our Secretary of State; and up to the present time he has been, unable to gain another audience and learn officially the condi tion the treaty is in. This is a true statement of the case, as loarnedlfrom a . party connected with a foreign legation here, and among the foreign ministers the matter caused considerable comment. • LACE CURTAINS!
