aftefeiVof6s of lREtA.xt. Among all tbe
piople'b'f the "World, with genins radient and
iQ)puIiye, atid with valor that has been attest
et'oa ho hardest fought battle fields of Zu
rope the Irish people hare suffered more, and
trioaV'jreserved their personal identity, while
(ais witches of a government that has crnsh
cd Jgipocence and . oppressed weakness when
ever its purpose of money or power justified
tfiepVoteeding. Irish valor has gilded the
tfrjjisb escutcheon with its brightest glory,
ljiah ; eloquence has given England a name
and i a fame throughout the civilized world.
iS'ttie 'great contest which is now waging be
tea the exercise of the legitimate power in
a free government and dominion of tbe vio
lence of rebellion, the Irish people are being
aroused not only to expressions of sympathy
for an ancient friend and relative, but they are
nnrsVrrg their ancient hatred of wrong by
baldly opposing the presumption of the En
glish; :government, in seeking a pretext to in
terfere in the domestic relations of the gov.
crnfnjent of the United States. Ireland is on
tbe side of freedom, and therefore opposed to
British diplomacy and when that diplomacy
setts lo embroil Great Britain and the United
Staies, the Britten ministry must look else
iv here than in Ireland for men to sustain their
Vftopgs. Already have the Irish people enter-od-
tHeir protest against all British interference
in'ihla quarrels of the American people, un
less; lj.be the interference and sympathy which
thati and all other governments owe to our
o'wtij'to prevent the violeut destruction of in
stijUiUot'S in which are centered the hopes of
religion, humanity and peace throughout the
worlds However much the British aristocracy
rnay sympathize with an effort to destroy free
government, the British throne rests on what
is called constitutional liberty, and when the
Federal constitution is obliterated, the boast
ed MagnaCbarta of England may be the next to
fall 'and be destroyed by -the same ruthless
band of oppression. We must cherish this
sympathy of the Irish people for the cause of
constitutional liberty on this hemisphere. It
will eventually be the means of checking the
fell' spirit of English despotism, so long dis
guised under English hypocracy, simply be
cause the government of Great Britain dare
not trust her armies, when composed of Irish
men, in a conflict with the people of this
country.
7 it . -.; .
a i Cx.AMoaoi'9 for Was. It is noticeable, but
not in the least strange, that those journals
bad men who have been most in sympathy
wjtii the rebels, should be most eager for war
with England. They have all at once a terri
bly keen sense of national honor. They were
exceedingly tolerant of insults to our flag when
they came from Southern rebels, and when
hey involved merely the overthrow of the
Constitution, tbe disruption of the Union, and
tbd permanent destruction of oar national in
tegrity and life. But the slightest hint that
England questions, in any particular, the per
fect propriety of our proceedings, arouses all
their courage, and demands an immediate de
claration of war. This is perfectly natural
loir it gives the best possible guarantee for the
accomplishment of their designs. This will
account for the valorous conduct of tbe arch
Breckinridge demagogue and sympathizer with
treason Vallandigham, of Ohio, in Congress.
We have no doubt the '-Old Public Function
ary," is in for war with England too, although
iie backed down from "Fifty-four forty or
fight," to "Forty-nina and Flunk," during
"Folk's administration. Meantime the matter
is in the hands of tbe diplomatic officers of
'.the two governments, and we may rest assured
.-that so far as tbe President and Secretary
-Seward are concerned, the national interests
and honor committed to their charge will be
Carefully guarded.

MASON AND SLID ELL BELEASED.
The city papers publish the full correspon
dence between the representatives of the Gov
ernments of Great Britain and of the United
States in relation to the capture of Mason and
Slidell upon the British steamer Trent. The
result arrived at, remarks a cotemporary, will
create equal astonishment in both countries.
In England the opinion seems to have beenJ
nearly universal that the act of Commodore
Wilkes was in obedience to express orders ;
but whether so or not, that t would be accep
ted and justified by the Government of the
United States. In this country It is known
th'at the act of Commodore Wilkes was not
anticipated; but from the. discussions upon
international law which have taken place, it
was believed that there was authority for his
course in the opinions of writemupon the law
of nations, and also from a long course of
precedents established by the English Gov
ernment in past years. It was not, therefore,
anticipated that Mason and Slidell would be
given np; and the fact that they are to be
handed over to the British Government will
excite intense gratification over the water,
whilst in this country it will bo received with
sullen acquiescence, and with a bitterness of
regret which will have a bearing upon our re
lations with Great Britain for many years to
come. Indeed, we feel but little hesitation in
asserting that the seeds of a future war w ith
Great Britain were sown on the 26th of De
cember, 1861, and that as soon as the United
States succeeds in quelling rebellion at home
it will be ready to avail itself of tbe first op
portunity of showing its regard for the nation
which has taken advantage of our supposed
weakness to denounce as an offensive act a
transaction which has such a line of British
precedents in former years to justify it.
Tbe discussion of the question by Mr.
Seward is temperate and ingenious, and the
bitterness of the pill is sugared over as thickly
as possible under the ' circumstances. The
ground taken in determining the action of the
United States is essentially the samo as that
assumed by the British crown officers, as re
ported by the English newspapers. It is con
tended that Mason and Slidell were liable to
arrest by the law of nations, and that the ves
sel upon which they were carried was liable to
seizure. But as in the caso of contraband
goods it is established by the law of nations
that the vessel carrying them shall be sent into
port for trial, wherein the character of tho
supposed contraband can be judicially ascer
tained by properevidence and adjudication, so it
is now conceded by the United States that
Captain Wilkes,although acting strictly accor
ding to the requirements of international law
up to the time of the arrest, abandoned all
these advantages by permitting the Trent to
proceed without bringing hr into port for the
proper ascertainment of the fact whether the
men were contraband. In: other words, it is
admitted that if Captain Wilkes had stopped
the vessel and taken out arms or munitions of
war, or other contraband goods, and then per.
mitted the vessel to proceed, he would have
committed an offence in thus assuming, upon
the high seas, the powers of a captor and of a
Jud"re. It is conceded that in tbe case of
contraband men the same principles apply, and
that Captain Wilkes erred in not bringing the
vessel into port, and in fact by his omitting to
do so the United States Government lost all
the advantages previously gained.
It is certainly a sharp point on the part of
the British Government to insist that the in
sult to its Hag would have been no insult if the
officer who made the arrest of Mason and Sli
dell had been less considerate of the interests
of the owners of the Trent and its cargo, and
of the feelings of the innocent passengers, by
rudely interrupting their voyage and sending
the ship and all on board out of their way to
wait the weary delay of the law. But this
follows from the position of Earl Russell and
of his Government, and however absurd and
ungenerous it may be, the fact will stand out
in bold relief in tbe history of this controversy.
In yielding to this argument, however, Mr
Seward has ingeniously thrown himself back
upon the old American doctrine asserted in
the controversies before the war of 1812 in
reference to the impresstnen of seamen upon
American merchant ships by British cruisers.
Mr. Madison, in 1804, expressed himself most
strongly upon the high-handed proceedings of
the British naval commanders, who, "without
recurring to any tribuual whatever," examined
the crews of neutral vessels, and decided the
important question of "their respectivo alle
giances," and carried that decision into exe
cution "by forcing every individual they
might choose into a service abhorrent to his
feelings." Mr. Madison protested in this a
gainst the great power given to naval officers,
who were, in fact, without supervision, and
whose acts could never be subjected to proper
inaiaua examination. ;
The warning from France may seem to be a
needless intervention in the dispute ; but the
position assumed by M..Thouvenel is taken in
a manner which seems to partially excuse the
cummunication to M. Mercier. France un
doubtedly ha a great interest in the settle
ment of principles . which may modify or
change the international law bearing upon the
rights of neutrals. The precedent established
in the Trent case might be carried out here
after against passengers in French ships. In
decd,the controversy between the English and
American Governments is one that may effect
all maritime nations. We have no cause to
suppose that France leans as strongly against
us as England ; and the advice from that na
tion, although unexpected, may. be considered
as from a source more impartial than the Brit
ish Ministry. The reference of M. Thouvenel
to the liberal doctrines long .maintained by
the United States Government in reference to
the searches of neutral ships on tbe high seas,
way be a kindly hint that we may honorably
do thai which we have always insisted, that
other nations saouIdNdo. .. ".'..
Tbe effect of this .news in Rebeldom will be
ajn using "from the fury which it will create
The strong hopes that the United States would
force Great Britain into the position of an
ally to the rebellion will be rudely stricken
down by the determination at Washington.
Tbe traitors have been keeping up their cour
age by expectation of assistance from England
and France. King Cotton having failed in
compelling this alliance, it was hoped that the
Mason and Slidell difficulty would insure it.
This hope to the traitors is now dissipated.
Rage, derision and sarcasm, will bo the first
manifestation. Tho "cowardly Tankees"
will be ridiculed in all quarters, the bitterness
of the taunts being aggravated by disappoint
ment and sinking hearts. The best consola
tion that loyal citizens of the Union will have
is that, a complication with foreign Govern
ments has been at present avoided. A vigor
ous and triumphant prosecution of the war
must follow peace will be couqured and as
for Great Britain, "we bide our time."
"IIano 'Em." The Memphis Tennessee,
Avalanche, says : "Hang 'em," yes, hang them
every one. Every East Tennesseean found
recreant to the will and interest or tho State
of Tennessee, and known to be actively con
niving with its enemies, should b hung, and
loftily. When the citizens of a State have,
by an overwhelming majority at the ballot-box
determined on its foreign policy, and by that
policy have been necessitated to arms for the
defence . of their homes and fire-sides, every
resident on the soil of that State who lends or
gives aid to the invader, deserves as little
mercy on earth as Beelzebub wilr give them
in his empire. Wherever the cobra-like head
of treason is lifted it should be stricken off,
and that quickly, for its poisonous saliva is
contagious, as the airs of Maremma. "Hang
'em, hang 'era" every one.
Desperation op the Kentucky Rebels.
Tho Bowling Green correspondent of the Nash-
ville Union says : "Gen. Marshall has issued
a proclamation to tho eitizens of Kentucky,
in which he states that the Home Guards of
the different counties must join him or fight
him, as they will not be left in the rear. The
whole country is awakening, and numbers are
daily flocking to the standard of Gens. Mar
shall and ZolHcoffer. It is their design to
advance upon Lexington and Frankfort, to
capture the Union Legislature, and to carry
the war into tho enemy's country. The Con
cordia Cavalry, of Louisville arrived, and
have gone into camp. They bore a black flag,
the appearance of which was the occasion fur
excited shouts from Kcntdcky troops, all of
whom would willingly go into battle under
the same colors."
Xegro Soldiebs. The Pro slavery presses
persist in denying the well established fact
that there are companies and whole regiments
of negroes in the military service of Jeff.
Davis's Confederacy. Yet the proof that such
is the fact accumulates daily, so that none but
those who are determined not to see can enter
tain the slightest doubt. Here is evidence in
point.copied from a letter dated New-Orleans,
September 25, 1861, written by Thomas Lunn,
and published in the London Herald of Novem
ber 15. The writer is an Englishman, from
the town of Burv : "There are 250 Yankee
prisoners "expected here this evening, and
there is a regiment of blacks detailed to escort
the Northern gentlemen to the prison. That will
be an honor to them."
Another Traitor Caged. The Hon. Geo
W. Jones, ex-Minister to Bogota, was arrested
in New York, and taken to Fort Lafayette.
Letters of a treasonable character, addressed
to Jeff. Davis, written by him while in the
service and under the pay of the Government,
fell into tbe hands of the authorities at Wash
ington. In a letter to Jeff. Davis he asked
him to provide an office for his brother, said
that his sons had gone south to fight against
us, and that he himself would probably follow.
Death of Prince Albert. By recent ad
vices from England we learn that Prince Al
bert the husband of Queen Victoria, died on
the loth December. The Prince was the sec
ond son of Ernest, Duke of Saxe Coburg Go
tha and was a little over 42 years of age at the
time of his death. He exercised very little
political influence directly, yet be was highly
respected by all classes, and his distinguished
relation to the Royal Family will give to his
death a national importance.
Conscripts. The Rebel army is composed
almost entirely of twelve months men, whose
term of service expires in February. The
Richmond papers, in anticipation of the re
turn of these men to their homes, and the dif
ficulty of supplying their places, recommends
conscription, a mode of raising an army that
scarcely any European government, however
arbitrary, will resort to.-
Extension of a Telegr aph Line. We see
it stated that the authorities of Canada have
decided on building a military telegraph line
to Quebec ; and the existing company serious
conteraplate extending their line 200 miles to
Cape St. Roger, on tho Gulf of the St. Law
rence. This latter extension would give us
the news one day earlier than by the way of
Farther point.
Fire. An extensive fire occurred in the
Government stabling at Washington, on the
night of the 26th December. About one hun
dred horses were burned, and the estimated
loss is about one hundred thousand dollars.
The fire is supposed to have originated
through carelessness. 1

Correspondence of the "Raftsman's Journal."
;, : Camp Jameson, Va., Dec. 22. 1861. V
Mr. S. J. Row Dear. Sir : I have frequent
ly thought of dropping you a few lines, but
have as frequently put it off.. Camp Jameson
is located 12 miles from Alexandria, oil the
farm of Mr. Mason, brother to the rebel pris
oner and Ex-Senator. From the top of tho
Mil we have a view of the Capitol. Camp
life has lost its novelty, being only a regular
routine of duties. The men are rigidly drilled
and strictly disciplined, the effect of which
is plainly seen on both men and officers. On
tbe 18th our regiment was ordered to advance
to Pohick church and attack the rebels, -who
were said to be in large force there. The
church is about 12 miles from camp. Col.
McKniglit had orders to cut his way to the
church at all hazards. . He waa soon ready and
marched to Pobick, accompanied by two com
panies of cavalry and two rifled cannon. The
next day tliey returned by way of Occatink
Mills, without capturing any of "the "varmints."
During their absence, some of the band vol
unteered to stand guard, as but few were left in
camp to relieve the sentinels. The night was
beautiful, and we were on duty about four
hours, and I think it was fortunate no rebels
made their appearance to breakthrough tho
guard, for, no doubt, wc. would all have "sup
ported : arms" and run. The pickets have
almost daily skirmishes, yet none of them
have been wounded. They have, however,
left the marks of balls on some rebels on sev
eral occasions.
It is not yet certain whether we will winter
here or at Alexandria. Tho men are general
ly in good health there being but. a few cases
of serious sickness. Two deaths have occur
red during the last two months. The regi
ment makes a good appearance. The mei
are all large, and generally of the samo size.
They look well and feel well, and should the
opportunity offer will, no doubt, acquit them
selves honorably.
You who live in peaceful Pennsylvania, sur
rounded by your families and companions, and
in the enjoyment of ah the luxuries nature
may crave, seem to be satisfied with reading
the published newspaper accounts of the pro
gress, and destructive tendencies of the war,
but we see and realize all the desolating con
sequences. 1 his lias been a ueautuui ana
productive country, but it now presents a dole
ful appearance. Farms and residences are a
mere wreck, fences burned, forests levelled,
and the fields cut up for camp purposes and
trodden down so hard, that, even should the
war now end, it would require years of labor
and an immense amount of money to restore
them to their former value and . beauty.
Should the army still advance and leave the
same desolate trail, what will "Old Virginia"
be worth then ? ...
The holidays "are here, when "old Krisk in
kle" will go his accustomed rounds. I won
der if he will visit "Camp Jameson ? I hope
so for a few of his knicknacks would be rel
ished. And while you enjoy the good things
of the holidays, think of the soldier who is at
the same time enjoying his "bean soup" and
"dry bread." Yours, A. M. M.
Crooked Rcn, Dec. 28, 1861.
JIr. Editor : On last Thursday night, I was
a witness to the most disgusting scene that ev
er occurred on our ridges, at a Debating So
ciety at Crooked Run School-house. The
question was, " II ad the South a right to Se
cede ?" After the question was discussed,
the Judges brought in their verdict forSecesh.
Some fellow then got on a bench and propos
ed three cheers for the South, which was res
ponded to by a large number of Breckinridge
Democracy ; and then they proposed three
groans for the North, and such groaning no
mortal ever heard. I blush for my country
when I see the secession element so strong.
One who was present.
