MR. TRAIN FN DEFENCE OF IRELAND
AND IRISHMAN. '
Our; of the rliii f points in tlio events of
thrt week wliirh lmve of late conic under
notice in tin; Discussion Hall in tlic state, of
Ireland. The recent agrarian murders have
alarmed (he landlords, and Knglund nnd
Ireland stand face to face, each calling the
other bad names. Mr. Train, availing him
self of repeated attacks against the United
States, made a decided hit on Saturday night,
in turning the argument ou Ireland, nnd
although the interruptions were frequent,
he kept his ground, lie undoubtedly having
u great advantage By being no frequently
tailed for before he rises to speuk.
rniF.NDsnn op knoland.
Mr. Train A lienfi repealed is twice told.
Slander is the offspring of small minds.
Knvy is the consciousness of inferiority.
Jealousy arises from doubt of one's own
position. Small minds never praise. "Large
minds never forget a kindness. America's
prosperity .was England's misery. Amerca's
uliogcd adversity is Kiifdand'ii happiness.
Burns has blasted many a young man's pro
gress in life by his eft -quoted proverb, "See
ourselves as others see us." Humanity is
wiser in this nge. Others see us about two
feet high. Hope and ambition iirci blasted
by friends. Knglaud is said to be our
Motherland, our near relation, our brother,
our cousin, our friend. That friendship,
dear relationship, has been strangely shown
of late. Is Kugland our stepmother ? Seve
ral gentlemen see defeat, disaster, destruc
tion to the Union armies. AVhere, pray?
All jour wishes are fruitless ; all your pro
phecies are in vain.
Dlill.LIANTfirfCF.SS OF THE V.NION AKMS.
Is the plight repulse of the gunboats
before Richmond sufficient to point the
moral f You have made the most of Bull
Hun, Hall's Bluff, and Big Bethel ; that was
before our army was on its feet; since then
our flag has never been struck. Napoleon's
victories in Italy and d'ermany were not
more rapid or more brilliant. 'Success fol
lows success, victory succeeds victory. Lyon
in Missouri, Sigel iu Arkansas, McOlellan in
Western Virginia, paved the way for the
battle, of Somerset. The fall of Ports Henry
and Donel? on ; the capture of Na.-hville,
Columbus, Bowling CJreeu, New Madrid, and
the Tenth Island ; the taking of Forts'
J'ickens, Pulaski, Macon, Jackson, and Pil
low ; the capture of New Oilcans nnd the
fall of Yorktowu ; the buttles of Pea Bulge,
of Pitt.iburg Lauding, nnd the pursuit of
runaway armies past Williamsburg, at tho
bayonet point, up the .lames river, and on
to Biebmoud, are incidents as worthy your
remembrance as the fact of our Government
securities btanding firm at one hundred and
four, after raising one hundred millions ster
lingthe largest war loan ever contracted
since men used firearms. I am obliged to
keep the; facts before Secession Knglaud
and the Secession speakers of this hall.
ENGLISH DELAY IN CAMPAIGNS.
All this iu half a year, and yet you sneer
at our delay. Pirst thirty days, then sixty
then ninety, and now you say we ask you
agaiutowait. Be it so. Davis rested eight
months before Washington, yet you complain
if wc htop eight days before Bichmond.
Kugland is the lust nation to talk of despatch.
The only energy I have seen you show was
on the Trent question. You say we ought
to have closed the war months ago. Look
over your own shoulder at George the Third.
You were longer reaching Concord, Lexing
ton and Bunker Hill, than you were in lea
ving those places. With your drilled vete
rans and hired Germans, it took you, in rev
olutionary times, seven years to evacuate city
after city, and linully, your English Lord
surrendered to an American General at York-
town. You were seven years in accomplish
ing what we have done in seven months.
The difference simply is this : You retired
with defeat, we advance with victory. The
gentleman uaid that McClcllan would be
doubled up like a perambulator; as the
American armies, on two occasions, have
doubled up England iu the manner he indi
cates, I can bcc where he found the happy
simile.
DirFtBEME BETWEEX SECESSION AND ItEV
OLITION. You 3ce analogy between America's seces
sion from England and America's secession
from America. I don't. I sec no compari
son between the battles of our youth against
your manhood, and the battles of our man
hood against ourselves, unlet it is that you
employed Indiaus to sculp our people, so Lai
Davis. You tyrannized over us ; so did the
South. But we rebelled against your taxes,
they against the laws they made themselves.
Such aUhonifit citizen as Davis, Floyd,
Mason, Blidell, Beauregard, and their bad
associates, bear no analogy to the heroes of
Massachusetts Hancock, Adams, Otis and
Franklin or such great Virginia names as
Patrick Henry and George Waahtugtou.
0 that Iks god daw who ran thut reveal
Mia'l solicit glotic, might Lit ;ham conca! ,
Nor, blushing, show us the human race,
All that is tortlid, cowardly and bar !
In WAsnixoTox she taught us to admlro
A statesman's wisdom and a patriots'! fire, jchcers
Then turned the modal, that the world might see
A traitors fact in Arnold and in Lee !
You say wc are too long in closing the
war, and yet it took you twenty years to
send Napwlotrt to.SK-Htskm.' Too. long I
Napier was longer in doing nothing. He
boasted that he would be in Oronstadt or
in a warmer atmosphere before six weeks.
All I can say is, that fie did not grt into Cron
ntwlt. Too long 1 Yet you huve been tw o
years trying to put down the New Zeland
ers ; and you rcmembrr your delay in the
Crimea. If we have been too long, blame
yourselves; your Ministry have done the
mischief, and in a very short time will bury
itself in the grave it dug for tho Americans.
A Government that moves a vote of confi
dence to itself cannot be in a strong position.
Lord Palmerston rules England ; jilil Car
dinal Woh'i ! The Cardinal fell, and never
regained again his foothold.
DEFENCE OF IRELAND AND THE 1HISII.
The two features of to-night's debate nre
misrepresentation of America nnd abuse of
Ireland. America has many champion?,
Ireland none. I have spoken for Americans ;
I intend to say a word for the Irish. It
chills my senses to hear you jeer, nnd sneer,
and throw contempt upon that gallnnt race.
Two millions of Irishmen arc countrymen of
mine cheers and I will not sit quietly
and hear, in an English audience, Ireland
trod down and abused. I like the Irish race.
Ireland has done much for England ; but
what has England done for Ireland f What
a record of crime, despotism nnd tyranny !
What a page of violence, injustice and blood
shed ! Mr. says no ; show me, then an
oasis in the desert of her history ; show me
a ray of sunshine in the darkness of her
horizon. Poor Ireland 1 rich in nature, in
mountains nnd in rivers, with fruit in her
gardens and fish in her streams tho unhap
py mother of -a brave wepla made humble
by despotic and corrupt government. Poor
Ireland I the land of Curran, nnd Grattan,
and Shicl ; where Power acted, and Moore
sung his sweet melodies, nnd Sheridan
Know les wrote some of the finest dramas in
our language who last week, in his seventy
eighth year, made a beautiful speech, full of
affection and tears for his native mountains.
WHAT IRELAND HAS DONE FOU ENGLAND.
Toor Ireland ! what has she done that
England should have treated her so The
land that furnishes Englaud with so many
brave armies ; whose sons to-day are leaders
iu tin' world Premiers of two nations, and
Generals in them all. You produced but
one great name in your Napoleonic wars ;
his pictures arc in your galleries, his monu
ments in your squares. That man was
Arthur Wellcslcy, the Irkh Duke of Welling
ton. Who rules to-day in Spain f An
Irishman Marshall O'Donnel. Who won
the great Italian battle? Stand forth Me
Mahon, the Irish Duke of Magenta. Who
won the battle of Winchester, but the twice
Senator, the shot proof Irishman, General
James Shields ? And w ho rules supreme in
England, beloved by his people ? Have you
forgot ten that Lord Puliw iton is a son of
Ireland Poor Ireland ! How sad is the
story of thy wrongs; every page of thy his
tory is a record of robbery, pillage nnd con
quest ! Oh, bosh !J The gentleman has
twice interrupted me ; let me say to hiin
that when he applies that word to my re
marks, it siguilies talent, brain and intellec
tual power, neither of which will any one
accuse him of possessing.
SECESSION AI'I'LIEU TO IRELAND.
All the speakers here to-night have been
arguing that the Southern Confederacy
ought to be acknowledged. Observing this,
I am disposed, for argument's sake, to agree
with you, and apply the rule to Ireland.
Ireland would be better by herself more
independent, more free, more happy, less
slavery, and would open her ports to ttll the
world. You have no right to interfere with
her customs, her laws or her religion. When
the liomans made war they adopted the
habits of the conquered people. England,
on the contrary, tries to make them English.
She is not happy, not contented ; vegetation
grow s in her streets and misery broods in the
laces of her people. Let Ireland go; let
America acknowledge the Irish Confederacy.
niRTOHY OK IRELAND.

Wales, so Giraldis Cambrensis recorded the
incidents of Prince John in his Irish tour:
calling the peasants gouts and sheep, which
would become capital game for English
sportsmen. Cambrensis Eversus was more
caustic, yet equally ungenerous. One was
Trollope the First, villify ing the Irish people.
The other was Trollope the Second, piling
on the agony.
Centuries have gone since the armies of
that old coquette, Elizabeth, cut through
your peasantry. Long is the time since (ho
old idiot, King James, overran that unhap
py land with his perambulating scaffolds
and ready-made executioners. Poor Ireland!
what a life of conquest.
Then Charles came, with his packed juries
and confiscation, followed by Cromwell, cx-
Iintriating eighty thousand of thy sons, antl
mocking down all thy churches, followed
by the Second James and his excesses and
the treaty of Limerick ; and then comes the
destruction of thy individuality. The Par
liament Houses into stables for the King;
thy squares tilled monumeuts to illustrate
the overthrow of thy religion, and thy eyes
blinded by giving you eight millions a hun
dred representatives to Parliament, while
England s eighteen millions have over a
thousaud. And this is the land where Ko-
liert Emmet told Lord Norbury his country's
wrongs, and Daniel O'Connell stood boldly
up, aud Smith O'Brien banished, and the
O'Donoghuc threatened if he dare to speak
of tho wrongs of bis native land.
AMERICA TIJE FRIEND OF IRELAND.
You bay, let the south go. I say let Ire
land go. (Cheers ; and a voice ; "Irelund is
now prosperous." Yes, said Mr. Train, but
what hits made her so i America! Who
have added wealth to our land ? the Irish.
Who build onr factories, our canals and rail
ways! tho Irish. And in their well-paid
labor, because well-earned, they find large
sums of money, which they have been send
ing back to their people tor many years !
Ten millions sterling since the Famine. A
noble trait of the Irish character. I like the
Irish people, aud your attacks on Ireland on
account of the recent agrarian outrages are
most unfair. Look over your criminal re
cord, and you will find more brutal murders
in England during the last year than in Ire
land. Have you lorgotten the Stepney mur
der, and the Head murder, and that of Not
tingham Forest aud Coventry t or even, last
week, that at Manchester, aud another in
London t You have as dark dicds on your
calendar sj IrtUnd has, and 1 cannot Dear
to hear a land I like so much so unkindly
spoken of as she is in England.
Let mc say to tho Irish people come to
America, where you arc appreciated ; come
over in thousands andhumlredsof thousands
w here a welcome shall await you, for Ameri
cans cannot forget your deeds of bravery in
the dark pages of our war. You have fought
nobly in o.ur n.rmy, you love our Union, and
we like your noble devotion to the lnnd of
your adoption. Ireland for the Irish. Thou.
Francis Meagher is now one of us ; and
Judge M'Lcan was a native of Erin, that
hind of fair woman und brave men. Ed
mund Burke was also an Irishman. Would
that you had some more Burkes and more
O'Connells to speak for you in the nation's
councils. The O' Donoghues, the Muguircs)
and the Hennessys are not asleep to" your
wants ; but Irishmen must bund t ('..'ether to
win their rights. My plea for Ireland to
night is more than yours for Secessia. If
you think disunion in America bctiellei.il,
how much more so would be disunion be
tween these Islands. Let me candidly ray
to the brave Irish regiments who are 'light
ing onr battles, what one of their country
men said on another occasion,
Whether on tho pillows high,
t'r in the battle's van,
The fittest place for man to die,
Is whero ho dies lor man.

Americans begin to be lesi sensitive.
Throllopc says wc copy France iu manner,
speech, dress, and cooking. He should have
atlded, American's begin to care as little for
England's opinion as France does. France
laughs at- England ; America must do the
same. England used to pinch France, now
France pinces England ; America is copying
the habit. England is now thin-skinned, as
well its thick-skulled. M. Assolant, in the
Courier de Paris, the Seicle, is equal tuippy
with his discenting knife; how the English
squirm ! Ridicule is a good thing when
based on truth. When you joke, always
joke on facts. The French writers pay the
English are put in stalls, at the restaurant,
by themselves, like vicious horses, to keep
them from bitting each other.
France is emancipated, so is America. Our
people will never atrain cringe before English
public opinion. Write what you please ;
misrepresent, exaggerate, lie, swear, bear
false witness. No matter what you do ; for
America, like France, will be no longer sen
sitive. England must now take her turn.
American writers arc coming over to des

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE HER MA
JESTY'S CONSUL AND THE M A J. GENERAL.
New Orleans, June 11, 18C3. 7 It
has been represented to the undersigned by
Mr. Covas, of the commercial firm of Coviis
it Negroponte, carrying on business in this
city, that certain sugars bought by that
firm, conjointly with Messrs. Balli, Bcnachi
& Co., also carrying ou business here, are
not allowed to be sold or takeu from the
place in which said sugars are stored, w ith
out further orders from you.
We beg here to state that Mr. Covas rep
resents to the undersigned that the sugars
in question, 3,205 hogsheads, have been
bought for, and arc the propcity of British,
French and Greek subjects, and with which
fact you arc already acquainted.
The purchases of these sugars wire effec
ted at various times, ranging from January
lo March 1st, pah I for at the time of pur
chase, in the usual manner in which such
business is carried on here by foreign com
mercial houses, when purchasing for account
of distant parties, . ., by the proceeds of
bills of exchange, drawn by the purchaser
here upon the bona tide owner ol the pro
duce. These transactions were strictly mercan
tile, nnd feeling assured by the Proclamation
issued by you under date of May 1st, had
they had any fears before, that this, the
property of fori igners, w as safe und would
be accorded prokction, as stated iu the
Proclamation, such as had been granted
heretofore to such property, under the Uni
ted States laws, the purchasers of these su
gars were anxious to ship them at a time
when other such shipments were being
made ; but, by your order, as stated above,
were prcveutcd, thereby entailing upon the
foreign owners great loss.
But as tho undersigned are disposed to
waive all past proceedings, they beg that the
older not permitting the removal of the
produce in question be rescinded, and that
the sugars be at the disposal of the purcha
sers, to do with them as they may see fit, or
that the undersigned, if compatible, in con
sideration of the interests concerned, be
placed in possession ot the tacts which
caused such order to be issued, the enforcing
and existence of which materially retards
and stops the legitimate business of our
countrymen.

To Major General Benjamin F. Butler, Com
manding Department of the Gulf, New
Orleans, Louisiana.
Headquarter Detartvi't of the Gelf, )
Aite Orleans, June 13, 1803.
Gentlemen In the matter of the sugars
in the possession of Mr. Covin, who is the
only parly known to the United States au
thorities, 1 have examined with care the
statements yon have sent me. - I had infor
mation, the pources of which yon will not.
expect ine to disclose, that Mr. Covas had
been engaged in buying Confederate notes,
giving for them sterling exchange, thus
transferring abroad the credit of the States
in the rebellion, ami enabling these bills of
credit to be converted into bullion, to be
used there, as it has been, for the purpose
of purchasing arms and munitions of war.
Mr. Covas was one of and the ngent of an
association or company of Greek merchants
residing here, in London and in Havana,
who had set apart a large fund for this
enterprise. That these Confederate notes so
purchased by Mr. Covas had bien used in
the purchase of sugars and collon, of w hich
the smjars iu question, iu value utmost
$200,000, aro a part.
I directed Mr. Covas to hold these sugar:,
until the matter could be investigated.
I am satisfied of the substantial truth of
this informal ion. Mr. Covas' own books
will show the important fact that be sold
sterling exchange for Confederate Trcasuty
notes, and then bought these sugars with
the notes.
Now this is claimed to be "strictly mer
cantile." It will not be denied that the sugars were
intended for a foreign market.
But the government of the United States
had said that w ith the port of New Orleans
there should be no "strictly mercantile"
transactions.
It would not be contended for a moment
that the exchanging of specie for Confede
rate Treasury notes and sending the specie
to Europe to enable the Rebels to buy urms
and munitions of war there, were not a
breach of the blockade, as well as a violation
of the neutrality laws and the proclamation
of their Majesties, the Queen of Great Bri
tain and the Emperor of France. What
distinguished the two cases, save that draw
ing tlie sterling bills is a more safe and
convenient way of eluding the laws than
sending bullion in specie, and thus assisting
the Rebellion iu the point of its utmost
need J
It. will be claimed that fo assist the rebel
lion was not the motive.
Granted "ftrwun aryinnenti .'"
It was done from the desire of gain, us
doubtless all the violations of neutrality
have been done by aliens during this war;
a motive which is not sanctifying to acts by
a foreigner, which, if done by a subject,
would be. treason or a liitrh misdemeanor!
My proclamation of May lr. assured re
spect to all persons and property that were
respectable. It was not an amnesty to mur
derers, thieves and criminals of deeper dye
or less beinousness, nor a mantle to cover
the property ol those aiders ot the rebellion,
whether citizens or aliens, whom I might
find here. If numbers of the foreign resi
dents here have been engaged in aiding the
rebellion, cither directly or indirectly, from
a spirit of gain, and they uow find them
selves objects of watchful supervision by the
authorities of the United States, they will
console themselves with the 'reflection thut
they ore only getting the ''bitter with the
sweet."
Nay, more, if honest and quiet foreign
citizens find themselves the objects of sus
picion to, and even their honest acts subjects
of investigation by, the authorities of the
United States, to their inconvenience, they
will, upon reflection, blame only the over
rapacious and greedy of their own fellow
citizens, who have, by their aid to the
rebellion, brought disgust and suspicion
over nil. Wishing to treat you, gentlemen,
with every respect, I have set forth at length
some of the reasons which have prompted
my action. There is one phase in your let
ter which I do not understand, and cannot
permit to pa?s without calling attention to
it. You say, ''the uudersigued are disposed
to waive all past proceedings," etc.
Whtit proceedings have you, or either of
you, to '"waive" if I do feci disposed so to
do J What right have you iu the matter ?
What authority is vested in you by the laws
of nations or of this country which gives you
the power to use sucli language to the rep
resentative of the United States iu n qiuu-i
official communication
Commercial agents, merely of a subordi
nate class, Consuls have no power to waive
or condone anv proceedings, past or present.
of the Government, under whose protection
they arc permitted to rcide, so long as they
behave well. If I have committed any
wrong to Mr. Covas, you have no power to
waive or pardon the penalty, or prevent his
having redress. If he has committed any
w rong to the United States you have stiil
less power to shield him from punishment.
I take have to suggest us a pos-dUe ex
planation of this sentence, that you have
been so long dealing with a rebel Confede
ration, which has been supplicating you to
make such representations to the Govern
ments whose subjects you are, as would
induce your sovereigns to aid it iu its
traitorous designs, that you have beionie
rusty, in the language proper to be used, iu
representing the claims of your fellow citi
zens to the consideration of a great und
powerful Government, entitled to equal
respect witu your own.
In order to prevent all misconception, nnd
that, for the future, you gentlemen may
know exactly the position upon which I
act in regard to foreigners resident lure,
permit me to explain to you that I think a
foreigner resident here has not one right
more than an American citizen, but at least
one right Ids, t. ., that of medd'ing or
interfering, by discussion, vote or otherwise,
with the attairs ot the Government.
I have the honor to subscribe myself,

will be seen on a perusal of our despatches.
The two nrmies arc in close proximity.
There was brisk skirmishing all day Satur
day, and at night everything indicated thut
a general engagement was at hand. The
rebels advanced in strong force on our lines
during the night, but being promptly met,
soon retired again. They are evidently
afraid to take the initiative ogain, as at Fair
Oaks. They endeavored to feel our entile
line on Friday by shelling, but did not
accomplish anythingmost of their shells
falling short, and eliciting no response from
our batteries. They will ascertain their
positions with sttllicicnt ertainty when the
proper time arrives. Our despatches state
that the Bichmond topers of Saturday an

rebel Capital, and "that a large part of his
niniy of the Soulliwut wai expected to
follow.

rebels, by order, it is said of Beauregard.
Holly Springs, on the Mississippi Central
Railroad, has also been evacuated by the
rebels, aud occupied by the National forces
under General Thomas. The machinery for
repairing and manufacturing had previous
to the evacuation, been removed to Atlanta,
Ga.
A dispatch from Corinth, dated the 10th
inst., states that our army hits eca-ed its
pursuit eif Beauregard, nnd returned from
Booneville, about nineteen miles below
Corinth, to a more northerly position
probably to Corinth. Beauregard was re
ported to be at Okolona, with an army
SO. 000 strong, while Kirby Smith was at
Chattanooga with 30.000 und Price was at
Fulton with 15,000. The whole system of
railroads centering nl Coriuth was rapidly
being put in usable condition.

Roanoke, wa receive our correspondence
and newspaper tiles from New Oilcans to '

sentiment in the city seems to be most en
couraging, and the judiciousness of General
Butler's rule seems to be acknowledged on
all sides. A Union meeting was held ou
the 1 1th inst., in the Lyceum, City Hall
building, which was attended by all that the
room could accommodate, and was address
ed by old residents of the city. After the
meeting a procession was extemporized,
headed by a baud of music and the National
flag, and proceeded to the headquarters of
General Butler, where three chccis were
given, and the General called out to address
the crowd. The Stars and Stripes had also
been raised at Gretna, on the other side of
the river. Business affairs were gradually
improving.
COLONEL CHARLES ELLKT. Jit.
Colonel EHet, who died last Saturday
morning, from the effects of his wouud
received in the late engagement before Mem
phis, was a native of Pennsylvania, and born
in Ten n Manor in 1810. 1 lis parents were.
Charles and Mary Ellct, the latter of whom
is still living in this city, at the advanced
age of eighty-two years.
Colonel Ellct passed his youth in and near
our city. At u very early age he visited
Europe. He studied French during his pas
sage, and such was his indomitable energy
that he traveled through Fiance, England
and A Yules on foot. During his sojourn
abroad he paid particular attention to the
construction of wire bridges, and attained
an unusual know ledge of the art for which
he was so justly celebrated on his return to
this country.
He built the wire bridge at Fairmount,
thr.rVof wire bridge over the Niagara river
and the existing one at, Wheeling." He was
Engineer on the James River Canal, and the
principal and controlling Engineer on many
of the railroads in Virginia. He also sur
veyed the region and reported upon the
practicability of milking navigable the Kau
uwha. For tho last seven years of his life,
his mind has been devoted to the establish
ment of the principle of iron-clad steamers
und steam iron rams.
To explain the paradox of a colonel, cr
military otliccr, commanding a fleet, or por
tion of the navy, it is necessary to enter
somewhat upon the origin of the fleet.
When Colonel Ellct conceived the idea of a
ram fleet on the Mississippi river, he went to
the Navy Department to obtain the permis
sion to organize nnd command the expedi
tion. He, however, met with a decided
refusal, or such indifferent success as to
warrant him to apply elsewhere. He, there
fore, went to Secretary Stanton, and was
ordered at once to organize the fleet, under
the directions ot the War Department. As
the Secretary of War haa no authority to
commission naval officers, tho chief com
mander had to be made a Colonel ; his son,
the second in command, a Lieut. Colonel,
and the olliccrs with ranks to accord with
these. The boats were not manned with
seamen, but with soldiers, and tho licit,
therefore, became a floating artillery corps.
All reports are made directly to the War
Department. He w as a man of great energy
of purpose, and as a soldier he w as brave
and etlicicnt. He successfully accomplished
his mission, and in e'oniniand of the i.im
fleet participated iu the engagement before
Memphis.
In this engagement ho was wounded with
a bulb from a pistol, tho ball striking near
the knee and ranging upward. The Mem
phis AcaUuulo; of the I ith, in speaking of
his wound, states that "shortly tiftcruarde
he was taken with the measles," and yes
terday the telegraph announced his death at
Cairo.
His w idow is the daughter of the luto
Judgo Daniels, of Virginia, and she is now
accompanying his remains to this city, where
they will arrive to-morrow night er Wednes
day morning, preparatory to being interred
at Laurel Hill. J''tilgdiljhia Ltunr.
