`July gs.—Governor
w Brown
.
lo's,niessage was Teed in the Legislature
_this morning. In. stating . the reasons
which
. pronipted him to •call the Legisla
ture' together, he says the action of that
body last winter left him without authority
to:employ the militia; and he accordingly
paid and disbanded. those in service.
Members had been told by •the Conserva
tives that there was no use for the Military,
that all would be quiet in the State; but at
the,sarne time rebel - paroled soldiers were
forming themselves into secret organized
bands to overthrow the. State government
an carry..' the PreSidential election.
He:regards those bands as murderers and
robhers, 'and recommends the 'Legislature
to declare them outlaws, punishable with
death: wherever, found. He calls upon
members who have been insisting uporehis
calling out the military for their prntection
to pass the necessary laws te_give him suf
ficient clerical force to esiTy out, his orders
and :money, to defray .the expense and to
pay what :force is neceseary. • He says he
intends the responsibility shall rest with
the Legislative and not the ExecutiVe De
partment, If military force is ordered,
lawsmnst he passed to protect them, in all
proper, acts whilst on duty Should. the
Lsgislature prefer some other party to
have charge of the ;tailltary•he will stand
aside. ' - • •-.
•
Gov. Brownlow calls - attention to the
financial condition of Tennessee, and ref:-
own:lends that a special committee be ap
pointed.to investigate the conspiracy which
prevented the payment of the July it terest.
In conclusion he says: "I have.been ap
pcwled to by pro'miuent men of both
politi
cal parties to urge.upon you the propriety
ty of removing political disabilities for
merly imposeth upon, a large class of
rebels. The • conduct of that Olass

EDITORS GAzErrE:On Lord's day, July
sth, about twelve o'clock noon, having been
out at'esea ten daysand a half, we caught
our first glimpse of land. It was a beauti
ful day—the most pleasant day, of sailing
1 , shone,
that we had. , The sun o brightly, the
wind had fallen, and the sea was placid and
1
smiling. All were soon on the upper deck,
some looking with the naked eye and some
through glasses, eager to see land and to oh
taindheir first - view of the !'Emerald Isle."
, ,.
We eaw,, , diinly in, the • distance, the bold
ruggad outline of the Cork _Mountains, and
soon we. were. past Cape Clear, when the
rocky,) arren desert-like coast of extreme
South Ireland appeared to .our view. I As
we proceeded the shore became lesa abrupV
and up and back therefrom beautiful green
fields; Cultivated land and houses were visa:
ble.' On our right'.ve pissed Fastnet Light;
house, standing as it does on the summit of
a huge Island , rocki h
`the attention of all on
board. • - l' .
At seven o'clock in the, evening we were
met, seven miles limn our landing place, by
a 'tender" Sent to convey to. Queenstowir
those passengers wishing to land there, and
Make the "tour of Ireland." We stepped
at the wharf between eight and nine o'clock, .
but-before we 'a ere allowed to go on shore, ,
our baggage, - or' as: it - is' here Called,-
iuggage, underwent the customary l inspec
tion. The first and almost 'only question
asked by the Custom House officers was
"Have
of
any tobacco or firearms r '
TWo of those on board (we i -of course; were
not one of them,) having the latter - were
dispossessed of them, and coolly told they,.
could get them again by making, proper ap
plication to magistrate Hamilton, who re
sides at Cork. The . Government officials
are extremely stispitious of anything and
everything that; might be, construed into.
sympathy with' Femaniani. Qtteetlstown,._
• our landing nlice, was - formerly called the
Cove of- Oirk.. Eighteen -years ago', the
Queen
.coming;to.lreland on a visit, there
first set her foot on -the land, and either at
her own suggestion or request of the
inhabitants,-1 could, 5.1101 learn which—the
place was thenceforth called: Queenstown.
It is a village of, some. two - thousand inhab
ritants, situated on tilt: face of the hill, hav
ing no special attrnetiNa ne, s s in itself, but
from the heights in Ili- re'.lr,t4ere is afforded'
a good view of it, spaeloas harbor and the
beautifully green and highly cultivated sur
rounding country.. The prospect is fine,,.
grand, and one I - shall incver forget.. It *as
charmingto behold; the (ye wa .4 delighted,
the Soul pleased with the view "1 both land
and water, and! 'I said to fuyself, 'if ail
Ireland is: like this, it is Mated beatitifui.
Cork, about ten miles distant;trom Queens
ttlwn,. up the river Lett; -, I did...not
like—neither the_' town nor its P(;o
-ple. It is strongly Catholic+-there bring
throughout the
,Ounty, in which it
is situated, ten Cathelfes to one Protestant.
tls full - of beggars, and many of its,
_streets
very narrow and very dirty. Ifistsike,
or the number of inhabitants it contains, I .
could not ascertain. althotigh - I asked four
different persons:L The first whom I goes
tionedansvyeredsixty thousand; the second,
duets- thousand;l the third 'five thousand,
and the fourth one hundred and fifty thou
sand —a wide difference kr the answers:
What is true of all Ireland, however,• is
true of Cork.: It is being gradually depopu- .
ated,, losing its people by shout one thou
sand every year. In 184 Ireland had, it is'
said, a population-of eight millions; in 1868.
it has but four millions. The emigration is
arge, and Tdo oat wonder that it is. Labor
is so cheap that the poor can earn but a bare
subsistence; and many are longing to geto
America, who cannot go, through want of
means to take them there. A laboring man
receives for.' his work , from six to eight
shillings per Week,,i. S. from two dollars to'
wo and whalf
• Of our money in currency.
And many who,get no.more have wives and
children to support. How they manage ta,
dd it I cannot tell. Their children - canna

Cork is a city .of consideraqe comntereial
importance, being situated at the li,ad.- i)f
naxigation on tile river Lear Ths river is
spanned by nine durable taons.aretied
ridges. The city has some steel streets,
and some.places of' interest for the traysller.
to visit among which is the.vcry old church:
of Shandon, duce Catholic, but which in
he time of Cromwell came into possession
of the Protestants. We heard its chime of
. ells of which Father Prout wrote:
"Sweet hell, of SLandon 2 -.-- '
That sound tio grand on z
' 'I he beautiful watt re of the river Lea." - '
In 'C6rk is the Court House in which most
of. the Fenian priioners have been - tried,
and about one' hundred are how confined
there. - • ' . • .
While at Cork we paid a visit to "Blarney
Castle," five nines distant. On our way out
we had gilimpses ,Of rural life in Ireland.
We raw how the peasantry live in their low
white-washed houses with straw-thatched
roofs. Blarney Castle is well worth a visit.
is ruins are magnificent and in a remarka
,le state of preservation. It was built—so
it is said—in 1446, four hundred an,d twenty
two years sinde, and has been in a state of
decay for nearly 350 years. , Its "donjoun,"
or innermost retreat is one hundred and
twenty feet high, from the Summit of which
-is_ afforded a fine view of the whole stir
rounding 'country ; Many persons .have
' but int indistiect idei of what is meant by.
a castle or ofthe object for which it inbuilt'.
There are many of them in the old world,
and they are visited by the traveller simply
becatfse it is customary ; andmany go, and
see and go away again without learning
much of anything from their visit.. A castle
is literally, a little camp. Castrum,;in Latin,
is a camp. nom castrum is'derived caStel 7
him which signifies a little or ill2ll.:catiztp . ,'
and from the latter term (castel tin) comes' .
Our word castle. It is a small, Im trcitigly
fr4titled place; and. was 'built for_purpoSes
of defencst, as everything about It clearly,.
shows:.When the country was first con...
quered the land was divided among a few:—:
the conquerors and their' principal officers
and soldietS2 This is the origin of the large
landed estates In Great Britilm . Barons and
Lorda freqpently Waged war against each
other, and to defend themselves, they erect
ed at enormous labor and expense, ,castles—L
Tortiffid s places. ' Blarniar Castle Was built
• hy, and for many years, was the home of
the . .31cCarthys. I measured the thickness
I' wI - ' e"t e't , " o inmost
NUMBER ISO
apartment, and found them to be ten feet
and a half thick, and built in the most solid
and substantial - manner.. It would require'
much cannonading; even of the modern]
kind,: to batter them - down. '
Very near the highest point of the Casile is
a large stone called the "Blarney Stone,"
and which is said to possess the powe . r of
imparting to whomsoever kisses it a `l'peeu
liar and irresistible eloquence." Hence the
origin
.of the word 'blarney. _,,n old Irish
'
woman, who stays' about the Castl4 told
one of our party-that if she would only kiss
the Blarney Stone she would be ever 'after
wards blarneying the people, Some rhymer
has written as follows:
"There Is a stone there, whoeyefkisses,
Oh! he never misses to grow eloquent,
A clever spouter, he'll sure turn out, or
An Out-an-outer. To be let alone.
Don't hope to hinder him, or to bewilderailm,
tire he's a pilgrim from the Blarney Stolle_"
I did not, however, kiss the Blarney Stone.
There', seemed to me to be too much iisk of
life in it, as it is 120 feet from the gtound,
and so situated that a single slip of b4nd or
foot might dash you to pieces on the rocks
below. :,\ • !
From pork we went by rail fortynines te
the far-famed lakes of Killarney, in the
southwest of Ireland. Hero we re4ained
one day, though, had our time allowsd, we
could profitably and pleasantly . have spent
three or four. Killarney is said to fbe the
most beautiful spot in Ireland, and in some
respects I'doubt not it is. I have 'as yet
seen nothing to compare with it in all ghat
is grand, noble, picturesque 'and inspiring
in natural scenery. IDuring the day we
spent here we,traveled, in wagont.tte, on
foot, and in row 'boat, oycr thirtv miles.
There are three lakes, (c,ille.l the Lakes of
Killarney, the Lower, Middle and Clivr. •
the largest of which is nine miles long and -
four miles broad,) dOtted with rocky islands
and surrounded by bold lofty nioontaing,
on the peaks of which are pla!nly visible the
clouds of heaven. The ht: hest of the
mountainals something over two thousand
feet. Virgil speaks' of the goat "hanging
on the rock." While viewing these moun
tains we had many illustrations of the say
ing. Goats here and there were "hanging"
on the rocks, and so high were they that
they seemed no larger than rabbits at, ten
rods distant. During the whole of the
ride oVer the lakes there is a rapid succes
sion of most varied, grand and enchanting
mountain scenery; and not the least pleas—
ant incident to the visitor- _at these lakes is:
the sound of the bugle, the :echo of whose
notes, rolling from mountain to mountain,
and heard two or three times, minded me
of 'the music of heaven. ' Should any of
our acquaintances ever visit these lakes we
would recommend them to, the guideship of
".Sir Patrick Knight, of the Gap of Dun
loe," who.vvill call attention toile various
objects of interest, and 'entertain them now
and then with a "speech," all for the small
sum of half a crown.
Aceork:_we met Our tom - I.lmm. Mr. C.
C. Boyle, of Allegheny, and Mr. .T. D.
Thomr ,, on, merchant, of Pitt.r.burgh, well
known to you, in company with whom we
made the tour of tin Lakes at Killarney,
and went thence to Dublin. These gentle
men are on a European tour. • They expect
to visit Scotland, England, the Continent,
and be from home about three months. They
lare pleasant gentlemen and we hope they
may reap much benefit from their tour.
They came over on the. steamer "City of
Paris," inman line, which halted off Queens
town on the morning of July 6th.
Bidding adieu to Killarney pith its beau
tiful lakes and wild romantic scenery, we
came by rail, a distance of 165 miles, to
Dublin, the metropolis of Ireland. •On our
way we.passed through a tract of fine pictu—
reSque country, the Cork Mountains on our
right and the Tipperary on our left: Neat,
'tasteful, white country seats with walls
surrounding them, and numer4aus hedge
rows, often met our eyes.. By the way; let
me say that railroad traveling in Ireland,
whtle it is more rapid, is certainly more
expen.ive than in the United' States. You
have to pay about three and a third cents
per mile in gold, which is at least fifty per
cent: higher than at home, and if you ride
in a first class car you pay more.
There are three classes of cars here, first,
second and third; and the fare for riding in
a thirfi el ass car is some what leasithan half
m, he It is tor riding rk in a first classicar. For
in stance, from Co to Killarney the tare
far a first class car is eleven shillins§, for, a
seviod clubs, eight, and for a third class,
live. - i •

The railroads are substantially built,
amiadli end well , ballasted. The sides in
many places are finely graded end sodded,
and hay is cut thereirom. The f ears are
touch lighter than ours. There is no "con
duimor' 0110 min; an official called a
"guard" aecomi , aniCs it, and thrie iN to
syttefn of c! . atteking - baggiure. retal
look after your'. own luggage: Itailrond
managers on this-side the great water. have
much respect for human life. Accidents ;
seldom occur. 'Passengers are not allowed
to pass or walk over the track. If for
instance, you have come to your place of
changing cars, you step Out, go upa flight
of stairs, pass along a sort of { bridge, go
down another flight of stairs, and thus reach
the car into which you wish' to go.
Yesterday, July 12th, was a great day on
the Einerald Isle, especially for the Orange
men. It was the anniversary of the battle
of Aghrim bet Ween James IL and William
the:III. in 1691. Flags were flying from the
tops of the churches, and "Orange" ser
mons Were preached. Yesterday being
Lord's Day they have their proces
sicinsto-day. Tile Orangemen are the loyal
party of the countryloyal to the English
government, and opposed to the agitation
and so-called disloyalty of the. Fenians.
They are called Prangemen because/ they
advocate' the views held by 111.,
the Prince of Orange: There is much dis
satisfaction and discontent at the present time
among many of- the Irish
.people. ,But of
this I will write at another time. Jr K.
