TILE CONDUCT at F THE WAR In nothing is tiro Abolition party so in consistent and ridiculous, as it is in its demand for unanimity among the peo ple, in regard to the measures necessary to put,down the rebellion. That there shouldbe agreement,to sastain the Govern- ment,we do not disay ; but that there ought be a queir, uncomplainiog spirit in regard to the conduct of the Administration is a dangerous teaching. But the Abolition iste,'while demanding this passive obe dience from their opponents, do not, by any means, practice it themselves. While denouncing us for the freedom of our CritiC , B2li, they take the largest liberty of discussion themselves. In fact, their test of loyalty, upon our part, is adherence to their opinions, no matter how rapidly and freqatutly they may change them. For more than a year the President re fused to issue a Proclamation of Eman cipation; he declared it would be useless; but he did issue it, and experience proves it utterly worthless. it has freed no slaves whore our arms have not penetrated : and our army can free them without the prec ismat;en.

Before the ball ovens, however, we wonld advise his Excellency to issue a pr, - clamation of thanksgiving, cr one setting apart a day for humiliation and prayer. This will keep him right in the estimation of the Pecksniffsi and, pet-- hap, exempt his carryings on, from the criticism of the clergy. The auitere min istry of New England may. however, launchitheir thunders against this fashion able folly; that section of the country has been teaching old ABE hia politics, and we think that they ought to indoctrinate him into their rigid code of morals, also.

In the meantime we do not wish to tsep arate without addressing you a few gtiard• ed words—snch as we can afford. to base read by all whom it may concern —regtrd ing the present aspect of our cause. We are solemnly pledged to labor earn estly and continuously for the regeylera two of our belovd Ireland. Abet yledge with the blessing of Divine Ptetni ence, we shall redeem. And when the wished• for hour will have arrived, we shall be prepared with you to meet the implacable persecutors of our race in battle array, to put an end forever to the accursed system under which our unhappy people have suffered such cruel tortures—or die like men in the attempt. And in what holier cause has man ever died? How much Irish blood has fallen upon the I attle• fields of the world" Alas! how much Irish blood has been abed in the service of ocir country's oppressor—the plut.derer and murderer of her people—the tell ene• my of her faith? Qver this subject and others connected mitt it we have pon tered • long and bitterly. But our resolve is tiv ed and irrevocable ; the foul stigma wha attaches to our name must be wiped out. We do not ask, Will you be ready We know you are ready. Niue tenths it the Irish people have been at all times ready, in heart and will, to dispute with nrmed hand the invader's right to enslave cr ex - terminate them. But this is not enough We must be skilled to do" as w, ll as "ready to dare."

The leeecii which history teaches to struggling na Lionalities, and illustrates by many a nrtglit and rno.ny n dark ritamPlP. is that pre organization is essential to seeress. With it there may be defeat and glory. Without it there Most he defeat and shame. Some politicians seem to think anything approaching to a military organization impossible in Ireland. Bat its possibility and feasibility, when guided by courage, prudence, devotion and ability. have been proved to our satisfaction ; and this tact is the very foundation of our conviction that the day of our deliverance is at hand. .s'e say our deliverance, for the privileges of living among a free people and of sharing the blessings of free institutions but make us feel the more keenly the sufferings and degradations of our own old land. But oar hearts swell with hope and exuliation when we think of the living fire that burns within her shores, defying the combined efforts of open foe and false friend io ex tinguish it. No matter how powerful and devoted her exi ed children might be, we should tremble for the issue if there were no true men left in Ireland, no worthy de seem:lan's and discirles of the her .es of 48. We do not wonder at the enemy's persistent endeavors to emasculate or to banish you. Americans already admit that the non recognition of the revolted States by England iv due to the attitude whisk the Irish people have assumed both at hone I and in this Republic. If the Irish peo ple at home and abroad were united in a band of brotherhood for the salvation of I their own country, would the United States hesitate for an hoar to strike a blow which would be followed by two inevitable results—Peace in America and liberty in Ireland ? A deep responsibility rests upon Irish men in the present generation. The fate of their country trembles in the balance. Emigration is doing its exhausting work. Other influences are leagued with the op• pressor to quench the spirit which has triumphed over the dungeon and the Beef ' fold, and which even famine could net kill. Let us falter now. and Ireland's doom is sealed : a grand old nation-- grand even in her chains—is blotted from the map of the world. But there shall be no faltering no cowardice. Oar country cries to us for aid, and points to the grave which the toe has dug for her. Armed legions shall interpose between her and that grave. Here we have soldiers armed and train ed i thousands of them trained in the tent ed field and amid the smoke and thunders of battlel with able and experienced Gen orals to lead them. Let the cities arid towns and parishes of Ireland have their brigades, regiments. batallions and corn paniee of partially disciplined soldiers of liberty silently enrolled. Above all things. let every man be pledged to obey the commands of his superiors ; and pledged also never to move without such com mand, for obedience to command is the first and the most important requisite of the perfect soldier ; all the rest is secon dary. Thus you will not only be prepared to strike with effect, but all rash attempts at insurrection will be prevented. With. out such an organization as we contem plate partial uprisings of the people will be sure to occur, leaving no resole but the sacrifice of brave men, and, perhaps. the ruin of our cause. When we wrike, let us strike home. And are these not strong arms within the enemy's own shores to second the blow' Circumstun cuss are in our favor, such as Prnvidet.ct. never before vouchsafed to an envleved people. We have but to art as beaemes brave add reasoning men, and ours shall be the pride and the glory of lift': it our sorrowing Eire of the Streams to her place among the nations. Brothers. rely upon us.

Reported Occupation of Stafford Heights. From the Richmond Enquirer, bic v. C. The enemy are reported on the Stafford Heights, near Fredericksburg, with con— siderable force of cavalry and artillery. It is said that the movement has been made to stop the Confederates from get ring the iron on the track which the Yan trees left behind them from Fredericks burg to Acquifi Creek, when Stafford was evacuated. Whether our authorities have, indeed, concluded to remove some portion of the iron, so much wanted, we do not know, but we have trustworthy informa Lion that the Yankees think so, and believe that the work is actually in execu tion. They have sent this force to Staf ford to stop it. Federal Prisoners in Richmond. From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 4. Our population is increasing to an ex tent that is becoming alarming.

The next term of the court will be held at the cap ital in the early pert of the next month. Secretary orantlng and Consecration of Magna Charta at Runnymede. In the speech of Lion. S. S. Cox, of Ohio, delivered in New York last week, occur the following passages which would deserve publication 'ou the ground of their eloquence alone. It is said that the effect which they produced upon the immense audience was thrilling. After reciting some of the more notorious instances of the violation of personal rights and liher ties of which the administration had been guilty, Mr. Cox said : The traveler who visits that bland meadow in the river Thames, near Wind sor, now used as a race course, and still known as Runnymede, does not go there to see the horses run, but because that meadow marks an era in the progress of human treeoom. There, six hundred and forty (our years ago, on the morning of the 12th of August, the iron clad barons met King John and wrested from him the same rights which have been violated by Abraham Lincoln, and ostracised by the indemnity bill of the last Congress. [Cheers.] These rights were written in the Latin of that day ' • "Nullus fiber home capitur" it began, Dead language, but vital with liberty—which Chatham said was with all the classics. "No free man shall be arrested or im prisoned or deprived of his own free cus toms, or outlawed, or banished, or injured in any manner, nor will we pass sentence upon him, nor send trial upon him, unless by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law of the land." This was the germ of our civil freedom, which the pigmies of to-day are endeavor ing to uproot, now that it has grown from the acorn to the oak I As another (Judge Thomas of Massachusetts,) has so finely expressed it, from the gray of that morn iug stream the rays. which, uplifting with the hours, coursing with the years, and keeping pace with the centuries have encircled the whole earth with the glorious light of English liberty —the liberty for which our fathers planted these commonwealths in the wilderness ; for which they went through the baptism of blood and fire in the Revolution ; which they imbedded and hoped to make im mortal in the Constitution ; without which the Constitution would not be worth the parchment on which it was written [Cheers.] As if to make this great char ter sacred forever in the Anglo Saxon memory ; to connect it with the holiest emotions of religion acrd to sanction it by the hopes and the terrors of the un seen world, the Catholic hierarchy of that, day—long before Protestantism arose— before the Reformation—before we bad the transcendental light of our Puritan preachers [laughter], this Catholic hiei archy, then the friend of the oppressed and the people, were convoked.

HORATIO 5E11.410G11,. By the Governor, DANIKI, F. TYLB.H., Private Secretary. IF the men who voted for Stone and Curtin and Brongh do not volunteer as soldiers, in what respect does their action forward the `•vigorous prosecution of the war" ? Are abolition ballots supposed to be potent agencies in destroying or dissi petting the armies of Lee or Bragg ? While it is impossible to see how the success of the 'vigorous prosecution'' policy has strengthened our armies, it is easy to per ceive that the reinstatement of McClellan and Baell, and the simultaneous abandr n ment of its mischievous policies on the part of the administration, would not only strengthen the cease of the Union, but weaken that of the rebellion. bard 111( 4 11 41kOrre Untanned and Thir teedlh and N outteenth Days of the Siege From the Charleston Daily Courier, N ovember The bombardment of Fort Sumter has continued fiercely since our last report. The stubborn and gallant endurance of Major Elliott and the brave, indomitable garrison now engaged in the sacred duty of holding and d,fending the Fort has won for them a glorious name, and will furnish another illusti ton; t , tie in the future his— tory of the defen,se of Fort Sumter and the harbor and city of Charleston. Not withrtandipg th, , terrible and constant fire from his monitors, and land batteries, with ruiesilem of every conceivable inven- ou, size, and power showered like hail from Parrott, D .hlgren, rifled guns, and mortars upon the devoted fortress and its garrison, the enemy had been failed in his object acd is still unsuccessful in his designs. During Friday night the enemy's fire was chiefly maintained by Battery Gregg and his mortar or Cumming's Point battery. sixty-eight shots were fired, but eight of which missed and pas sed over, making an aggregate of eleven hundred and twenty shots fired in twenty four hours. At 3 o'clock on Saturday morning a deplorable disaster occurred, resulting in the instant death of thirteen I of the heroic garrison, detailed and post ed in the barracks, near the sea wall, in readiness for immediately mounting. to the crest in case of an attack fr,,m the outside. The melancholy occurrence was caused by a 300 pounder Parrott shell striking an iron girder in the sea wall of the barracks, caving in the roof, crush• ing ai-dburytng the men beneath the ruins.
