On Saturday we received a dispatch from St. Louie, which Was published in yesterday's paper, stating that great excitement existed there. " The Brit ish Consul's office was crowded by a large number of persons claiming the protection of the British flag, to exempt them from enrollment in the militia, under the recent order of the Governor. An excited crowd gathered around. Many indignant -citi zens were present to punish the perfidy of the American residents, having families and their business permanently located here, who, in the hour of peril, seek to sneak from their duty by enrolling them selves subjects of Great. Britain. Several persons who attempted to get protection papers were roughly handled by the crowd. Numerous arrests have been made. Sev eral affrays and struggles occurred between the disturbers and the policemen. One or two attempts were made to resist the ar rest of parties. A detachment of the Pro vost Marshal's guard was ordered out, and by their timely exertion suppressed the , outbreak. We have looked into the St. Louis Cru ion of Friday, to ascertain the facts of this extraordinary proceeding, and to our amazement see that among those who are endeavoring to abandon the flag of their country for that of Great Britain, are several unnaturalized Irishmen, who have lived in St. Louis for nearly a quarter of a century ; and who have grown rich in the land they now purpose to abandon.— Strange as this may appear, it is neverthe- less true, for the craven proceedings of these degenerate sons ofErin have aroused the loyal Irish population of St. Louis, n large number of whom are out in a call for a public meeting, to denounce this i baseness. Alluding to this ease the Union ' observes : "Fourth street, yesterday, in the neigh borhood of the British Consul's office, was the scene of much excitement. At an early hour, a large number of people were gathered in front of the Consul' office, fur the purpose of obtaining protection papers from that official. This fact was soon noised throughout the city, and by ten o'clock a large number of patriotic • Irishmen, indignant a:, the conduct of so many of the crowd as were Irishmen, were also mustered in the aforementioned neighborhood, some prompted by curiosity, others breathing revenge. At about halt past ten or eleven the feeling on the part of the latter became so intense that fears were entertained of a riot. A squad of the Provost Guard was sent for, but before their arrival several fights had occurred—the protection men in every instance getting the worst of it. As the latter descended from the Consirs office they were met by loyal Irishmen, who upbraided them for seeking protection from a government they had always pro fessed tohate. One Irishman who remarked that he had never voted, was made to don- ' fess that he did vote for Barrett, and the confession was the occasion for a blow which sent the "protectionist" sprawling upon the ground. Another as he held his I paper triumphantly over the heads of the crowd was made to kiss mothrr earth in' double quick. The 151i071, commenting upon these proceedings the day after they occurred, editorially remarks : " The recreant conduct of those Irish men who have sought the protection of the British flag, in order to shirk the duties of good citizens, has very justly aroused the indignation of their country men, in whose bosoms beat the true spirit of the Irish character, and a meeting to wipe the stain from that chivalrous race is called for this evening. Never can he who loves the memory of O'Connell and Emmett, and whose heart thrills over the heroic deeds that enrich the history of Ire land, permit his countrymen to play the recreant coward without rebuke. The true Irishman instinctively scorns such conduct. No people in the world can boast a brighter page in the roll of the gallant and chivalrous than the sons of k:rin, and it is due to the historic fame of that high -toned - race, due - to the memory of the heroic dead, and due to the courage that is now giving additional lustre to American battle-fields, that this disgrace should be removed ere it has made a per manent impression." The Irishmen who in this emergency would crave protection of the British flag to escape his share of responsibility to the government is worse than a rebel against the United States; he is a traitor to this country, to that which gave him birth and to all the traditions and memories of that oppressed Island, where suffering has made her name great throughout the world. Such a traitor knave is no fol liwer of Emmet or O'Connell. Castle reagh and the villians who Bald out the Irish Parliament, are made the prototypes of these degenerate bastards, who would seek protection of a government, which kaa for centuries bathed in the blood of Irish martyrs. But we suspect that these Irishmen are but nominally such; true, they may have been born upon the soil of Ireland; but we all know that. the worst enemies that country ever had, were those born an reared upon her bosom. But they *yr 'not the followers of Emmet or O'Connell; I Honor to ..iir Peabody. they were always opposed tolhe 'caniebf From the London Times. Jay Tl.

POPE. Major General Pope may be a very good man, a capital tactician, a dashing fighter, and a "bowld sorer boy. - but he should confine himself to his profession and issue fewer orders from Willard's Hotel. He has published more orders within the last two weeks than General M'Clellan did in o year. He had better take the field where his "smashers- will be more profit able to the country than at a first class hotel, and when orders become necessary, give them to his army first and not to the public. 1 rar - -H. P. Mueller, Esq., in a card published in the Dispatch,states that J. J. Seibeneck was the only speaker, out of six who spoke at the great Mass Meeting, in German, who opposed the volunteer sys tem and urged drafting, and this not for the purpose of getting more men but that substitutes would get more money than is now offered by way of bounty. There must be some mistake about this surely Mr. Seiheneck could not have opposed the wishes of the Government in regard to volunteering.

The Irish Brigade, under Ihe patriotic Thomas Francis Meagher, suffered awful ly in the late tights before Riehmond. Three full regiments when the tiehthegan, they now number less than one-fourth their original number. The reorganiza tion of the Brigade is Mezigher's object now. .It a tremendous outporing of the Irish and Irish-Americans of New York city on Friday evening last, Meagher made a speech, recounting the exploits of his gallant command, and closed with the following strong appeal to iiiF, Country men to join his heroic standard. He said: Come, then, Irishmen; since neither insuf ficient nor unsound food. nor insufficient clothing, nor excess of work, nor disease. nor any injustice, blunder or neglect, have been the causes of those red gaps in the ranks of the brigade, which this day, on the battle fields of the New World, trans mits the military reputation of our race, and so redeems, by a page of honest valor, the cotemporary history of a people from whose political sceptre, in the ancient pal ace, the pride and power went to have passed away — (cheersj—sin en to their own own fidelity, their own courage, their own utter disregard 'of life in the discharge of their duties, the decimation is owing which I have come here to endeavor to repair; and since it should be the vehement desire and the intense ambition of every Irish man who has one chord within him that vibrates to theraditions of that old lyric and martial labd of his, not to permit its flag, so vividly emblematic of the ver dure of its soil and the immortality of its faith, to be compromised in any just struggle in which it is displayed. (Cheers. 1 Since these things are so, 1 here this night call upon my countrymen in this city to throw themselves forward, it, them selves in life and death to t, to stand to the last by that noble little brigade which has been true to its military oath, true to the republic against the enemies of which it strikes, trite to the promises of its un faltering friends, and trite to the memories., the pride and the , hopes of Ireland. i Pro longed applause ) Come, mycountrymen, fling yourselves with agenerous passion in to the armed lines over which waves with achieved and admitted honor the flag that was once borne in wrath and triumph by the O'Neill beyond the mountains and the fords of Ulster against the stateliest and most stalworth foes of the Irish race— (cheers)—the flag which flew in defiance fisin the walls of Limerick until neither towers of granite nor hearts of oak eould avail for life and freedom—the flag which Robert Emmet—(lond cheers t— the last of the consecrated martyrs of our race, lavished his wealth, his genius, his life. and above all denied himself eternally the promised happiness of a home radiant with the light and love of ti wife in liar ! mony with his own grand nature, so that, he might plant it high above the strong hold of the enemy of his country, and from that eminence announce to the world, through the fleshings of its emerald folds, the redemption of what in history may be one of the oldest, but which, in resources, in hope, in faith, in heart, in all that in fuses anti perpetuates a national vitality, will ever bo tho youngest nation of the world. [Turnnltimus cheering.] Tome, my countrymen, one more effort, magnani mous and chivalrous, for the republic, which, to thousands and thousands ofyou, has been a shelter, a tower of impregnable security,- a . -pedeetal of renown and a palace of prosperity, after the worrying, the scan dals and the shipwreck that, for the most part, have been for many generations the implacable destiny of our race.

McClellan—(tremendous cheer ing, again and again renewed)—to whom that army is thoroughly and unanimously* devoted—(renewed cheering)—and whose great and good heart has been its inspira tion, as his splendid genius has been its salvation in the most. critical of times. General Meagher retired amidst a per feet storm of applause. A Soldier Killed.

" The rebel.; apologized for bringing our prisoners to City Point iu baggage -and rattle cars, and gave as a reason tun their passenger cars were engaged in conveying troops to Gen.

This boat is in fine condition, and attratititt our attention for the order and neatate with so many sick and wounded On her decks. Doctor Jacks, of Pennsylvania, is on board sick from over exertion while among the suffering soldiees. There has been, and now is, a consider able rebel force along the James river, be tween City Point and Richmond, and also at or near Petersburg, but they appear, by the movements witnessed within the last two or three davicia - Tie nicivine the Pe tersburg troops North, but we can obtain no proof that they are going beyond Rich mond. The city of Richmond is in a very good condition, great care having been taken of cleanliness of streets. The filthiest part of the city is said to be the tobacco store houses, which are now used as prisons,. so many being crowded away in them that they soon become filthy and not fit for human beings to inhabit. Night before last a company of rebelcav airy came down on Gloucester Point, op posite Yorktown, and seized and carried off a lot of contrabands that had accumu lated at that place, and also forced into the rebel army all the male inhabitants that could be found there capable of bear ing arms. They then set fire to a lot of ship timber, and taking with them their trophies took their departure. The rebel cavalry are almost daily prowl ing about that region, seeking plunder of d any kind, ani pressing into the rebel ser vice all the men they can find, who can be of any use to them. Similar depredations are being committed in the immediate vi cinity of Williamsburg, whether by . guer rillas or the regular confederates it is hard to determine, for the guerrillas often go clothed like the regal& confederate cav alry, as by this disguise they assume au- I thority which they otherwise could not, and commit depredations in their masked characters upon the civilians, telling them they have authority, being commissioned, and a detachment of the regular confed erate cavalry. All quiet on the James river. No news from the army. • Yesterday a man obtained a pass in Norfolk for the pretended purpose of go ing to North Carolina. Re was watched by an officer, and followed several miles out from Norfolk, when he took a wrong road and was steering his course towards Richmond. The officer rode up and ar rested him and found upon him about 52,- 009, which he was about to convey to Richmond. He was taken back to Nor folk and lodged in jail to await his trial. He admitted and stated that he received S 2 a piece for conveying letters between Norfolk and Richmond. This will stop the avenue by which letters and papers have passed to and fro. The steamship Massachusetts arrived at FortressiMonroe to-day from Port. Royal on her way to New York. She reports all quiet on the South Carolina and Georgia coast. The steamer South America left Fortress Monroe at 4 o'clock this afternoon for James river, crowded with contrabands.
