thud, that he would crown us with Victory,
and that he would prepare us for whatever
awaited us, &c. Also in the morning ; when
we left the boat, and on the battle-field, I
called on his name, and commended my
.soul to Christ Jesus. And thanks be to
Almighty GOd, I was strengthened; for I
telt undaunted, although the bullets whizzed
thick and fast. I prayed that God's will
might be done on earth as in heaven—that
La would pardon our sins, as we pardoned
those who sinned against us. And I felt
as though, living or dying, I was in the
hand of Almighty God, who indeed at this
perilous hour appeared to be precious to
my soul. Although I have stated that I
telt undaunted, which is correct, it was not
of that loolhardy, ambitious, revengeful
bravery. But there was a. peculiar feeling
came over my frame, which is hard to de
scribe.
" It is really heart-sickening to hear the
moans of the wounded, and see them bleed
ing like brutes; and hear the messengers
of! death sent by the hand of man against
his fellow-man.
"In shooting at the enemy, as far as my
own feelings were concerned, I did it in
a considerable hurry, and as little con
corned about the effect it would have, if it
hit a man, as I would have if it had been a
gme of ball. I was anxious to hit them,
aid wanted to see them fall. But the hurt
they should receive if the bullet should hit
them, I was perfectly indifferent about. I
flit as though I was acting in self-defence,
a - id wanted to save my life, and drive the
incmy if I could. I was not anxious to see
their blood flow. That is as near as I can
elate my feelings concerning it."
In speaking of the battle, he says : "We
were then ordered to advance in the direc
tion of the enemy. We advanced close
ciongh to see tbat our enemy was giving it
Lidian, by firing from behind the trees.
The enemy was reinforced, and we fell back.
being also reinforced we advanced again,
acid the enemy gave way. But they being
reinforced again, rallied, and we also were
reinforced, and such roaring I never expe
rienced in my life. The very air and earth
a2peared to be in motion. And if it did
tint panio-strike us, its roaring grated rather
harshly on our cars. We advanced part of
the time on our hands and knees; and would
load in that position, and rise and fire and
down and load, and advance and fire again.
We still kept up pretty regular fire and ad
vanced steadily, and we perceived the en
emy were giving ground.
" Our company having got scattered, I
advanced to a squad of men who had sta
tioned themselves behind the trunk of a
Ir.rge tree. There we would rise and fire,
and then down on our knees and load—
thus making a breastwork of the log.
Fearing a fiimiliar voice saying, they are
running, I looked round and saw my friend
—. I felt so rejoiced at the prospect of
our position, and so glad to see him safe
and unhurt at that late hour, that a sudden
emotion seized my breast, and I grasped
his hand and gave it a hearty sqeeze, and
says I, 4 Old fellow, you are here yet.' And
we passed a few words with eaoh other, and,
we advanced again. And as we were ad
vancing, one of the ammunition- wagons
blew up, but did no damage, only frighten.
ing some of us. Although it was terrifying,
yet it caused laughter to see the men run
ning when the danger was past. The ter
rible shock caused them to run a little dis
tance after the explosion.
"According to orders, several of us corn
menced firing the tents of the enemy. One
of the tents had a wounded man in it. We
pulled him out; but from the looks of his
clothes we pronounced him to be secesh.
I examined the tents to see if there were
any more wounded in them, but found
none. The tents that I examined were well
supplied with white and gray blankets, and
mean, nice clothes. Flannel shirts, draw
era, coats, &a., &c., were tumbled about in
all directions. I am led to believe that
these tents were occupied by the wealthier
class of soldiers, from the number of trunks,
boxes, and the kind of clothes that were in
them."

Change in the Cabinet.
The Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War,
tendered his resignation on the 13th. It was
accepted, and Mr. Edwin P. Staunton, formerly
of Pittsburgh, Pa., was nominated to fill the va
cancy. Mr. Cameron was nominated as Minister
to Russia. Mr. Sumner, of the Senate, moved
tho confirmation of these nominations, and they
were referred to a Committee, according to the
rules.
The reason of Mr. Cameron's resignation has
not yet transpired. Mr. Staunton stands high
in public estimate.
Message of the Governor of Pennsylvania
Gov. Curtin has sent to the Legislature his
first, annual message. It is a document whioh
presents a forge amount of interesting informa
tion; and it makes some valuable suggestions.
The matter of our State defences is wellnoticed.
Those on the Delaware are in a condition which
might soon be made adequate; but on the Lake
we have nothing in the shape of a fortress. The
times call upon the State to awake and put forth
its energies.
The State finances are in a favorable condi
tion, except that the large loans of formed years
still hang upon us as a heavy burden. There re
mains unexpended of the military loan $390,-
507.41, and of the ordinary revenues, $564,698.
The United States Government has repaid to the
State, on account of its military outlay, $606,-
900; thus the balance in the Treasury is $1,616,-
606. The ordinary revenue for the year has de
creased. The State has on hand a surplus of
uniforms and equipments, which cost $190,000,
which the United States Government has agreed
to take and pay for. It has not yet been found
necessary to call in all of the military loan.
Of the military, the Governor informs us that
we have now in active service sixty-six regiments
of infantry, of which six are rifle regiments,
eleven regiments of cavalry, one regiment of
artillery, seven detached companies of infantry,
six of cavalry, and six of artillery, and 6,400
men enlisted for other States, making in all 93,-
577 men in service. We have also 16,038 men
preparing for service, giving a total of 109,616,
exclusive of the 20,175 three months men.
In addition to the usual branches of education,
the Governor recommends the employment of
military instructors in the normal schools, and
the establishment of a military academy. He
also calls attention to the fifteen per cent. which
can be saved to tax payers by the State assuming
the payment of the national direct tax.
The message is a business paper, and Pennsyl
vanians should read IL
Difficulties Among Our Generals.
It cannot but be expected that difficulties will
arise among the commanders, in an army so
large as ours, so suddenly raised, and hence so
little trained to military order. A few of our
generals have seen military service, though on
but a small scale. Some of them have had a
thorough education at West Point. A small num
ber have studied the art of war in foreign coun
tries. Many of them have no knowledge in their
profession, except what has been picked up by a
little reading. All have ambition, and some
have much self-oonceit, while not a few are aspi
rants for high civil positions after the war shall
have ended. That there shall hence be misun
derstandings, frettings, and collisions, is to be
expected. Patriotism is not always proof against
selfishness.
One of the most serious difficulties, so far, is
that between Generals Roseorane and. Benham.
They are good oMoers, and yet they say hard
things of each other. Gen. Rosecrans, some
weeks ago, presented serious charges against
Gen. Benham. Some of the reporters for the
press have stated that these charges were sum
marily dismissed. This is not the fact. The fol
lowing is the order of Gen. McClellan in Ben
ham's case:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARE;
Adjutant-General's office,
Washington, January 7, 1862.
Brigadier General W. S. Roam.. am! :—Major-
General McClellan directs me to say that the
charges filed by you against Brig.-General Ben
ham cannot be sent to trial until the state of mili
tary operations will permit a court-martial to be
convened and thewitnesses now in actual service
in the field to attend it. As soon as this can be
done he will appoint a court. The delay is una
voidable, but, as the charges are too grave to be
dismissed, they must be reserved for trial when
the convenience of the service will permit.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant.

Submarine Cable.
A communication between Washington and the
military posts and naval stations on the Atlantic
and the Gulf, is a matter of the first importance in
prosecuting the war. The subject has been be
fore the Senate, and an able Committee has been
appointed. The Government also has had it in
consideration, and the result of the inquiries in
stituted is very favorable. The investigation
was intrusted mainly to Mr. Cyrus W. Field, of
telegraphic fame. Mr. Field has made a report,
which is approved by Gen. M'Clellan, the Presi
dent, and the Cabinet.
The practicability of submarine communica
tion is a matter of every day experience. In
Europe the following routes have been recently
established:
From England to Holland, 140 miles.
From England to 115.n0ver,.360 - miles.
From England to Denmark, 480 miles.
From France to Algiers, 600 miles.
From Malta to Alexandria, 1,300 miles
Mr. Field suggests the following schedule
1. That the land line of telegraph be extended
from its present terminus in Delaware, through
Acoomac and Northampton Counties, in Virginia,
to a point on the coast, near Cape Charles.
2. That a submarine cable be laid from
said point to Fortress Monroe 20i
8. That Newport News and Fortress Mon
roe be connected by a submarine
cable 6.1 r
Total to Fortress Monroe and New
port News 27
Thus by the completion of this short land line,
and the .use of only twenty-seven miles of sub
marine cable, direct communication would be
established between Washington and Fortress
Monroe, and Newport News.
Or if there be any doubt about the Govern
ment being able to maintain the land line,
through Accomac and Northampton Counties in
Virginia,
_a cable can be laid from Fortress Mon
roe and Newport News to Annapolis, or any other
point desired, on the West coast of the Chesa
peake Bay near Washington.
4. That a cable be laid from Fortress
Monroe to Fort . Clark, at Hatteras
Inlet 152
Total to Hatteras Inlet 179
6. That:Fort Clark at Hatteras Inlet, be
connected with Fort Beauregard at
` Bay Point, Port Royal Entrance.... 362
Total to Port BoyaL ......... 631
6. That Fort Beauregard and Fort Walk-
nr, at Hilton Head, be connected by
a cable
7. That the Southern point of Hilton
Head Island be connected with Ty
bee Island, at the entrance to Sa
vannah, Ga. (The opposite ends
of Hilton Head Island can be con-
neeted by a abort land line) 6
Total to Tybee Island 539-1
Or instead of connecting the opposite ends of
Hilton Head Island by a land line, a cable can
be laid direct from the 'fort on Hilton Head to
Tybee Island.
That a ()able be laid from Tybee Island
to Fernandina, Florida
Total to Fernandina 636 t
From Fernandina across Florida to Cedar Keys
there is a railroad and a good land line of tele
graph in operation.
9. That a cable be laid from Cedar Keys
271
to Fort Pickens
Total to Fort Pickens. 907 i
10. That a cable be laid from Fort Pickens
to Ship Island 102
Total to Ship Island 1,009
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1862.
Should Government desire it to be done at any
time, branch lines to connect with the main line
can be laid.
From Ship Island to Galveston, Texas. 482
From Cedar Keys to Key West 329
From Key West to Tortugas . 72
Cr to any other points on the coast, with which
it may be desirable to have telegraphic commu
nication.
The cost of the cable would be from $lOO to
$l,OOO a mile. Mr. Field recommends the use
of such as was laid between Newfoundland and
Cape Breton, four years ago, and which has
never failed or needed repair. It would cost.
about $5OO a mile. The cable should be laid in
deep water, to be secure from the enemy. The
advantage would be far beyond the expense ; and
after the war it would still be valuable, and.
might be either used under the public direction
or be sold to some private enterprise.
This is the season for offering petitions, present
ing bills, satering, discussing, &c. A few bills.
received t nal action.
A bill authorizing the issue of demand notes,
to the amount of $100,000,000, to be a legal
tender, is likely to pass. As at present before the
House, it reads thus : ,
"Be it enacted, ic., That for temporary pur
poses the Secretary of the Treasury, be and he
iv hereby authorized to issue on the credit of the
United States $100,000,000 of Treasury • notes,
not bearing interest, payable generally without.
specifying any place or time of payment, and.
of such denominations as he may deem expedient,
not less than $5 each, and such notes, and all
other Treasury notes payable on demand not
bearing interest that have been heretofore au
thorized to be issued, shall be receivable for all
debts and demands due to the United States, and.
for all salaries, dues, debts and demands owing
by the United States to individuals, corporations,
and associations within the United States, and
shall also be lawful money and. a legal tender in
payment of all debts, public and private, within.
the United States, and shall be exchangeable, in
sums not less than $lOO, at any time at their par
value at the Treasury of the United States, and
at the offices of , the Assistant Treasurers in New-
York, Boston, Philadelphie, St. Louis, and at the
Depository in Cincinnati, for any of the six per
cent. twenty years' coupon bonds or registered
bonds which the Secretary of the Treasury is
now or may hereafter be authorized to issue; and
such Treasury notes shall be received the same as
coin, at their value, in payment for any bonds
that may be hereafter negotiated by the Secre
tary of the Treasury.
"And such TreSsury notes may be re-issued
from time to time as the exigency of the public
service may require. There shall be printed on
the back of the treasury notes which may be
issued under the provisions of this act the follow
ing words: The within note is a legal tender in
payment of all debts, public and private, and is
exchangeable for the coupon or registered bonds
of the United States, bearing six per cent, inter
est.'
Mr. Hale has introduced a bill to punish fraud_
on the Treasury. The bill provides that any per
son obtaintng money fraudulently be punished.
by a fine to the amount of money, and imprison
ment at hard labor for not more than ten years.
If any officers of the Government do it they shall
be discharged and punished, and ever after be
ineligible to any office. Referred.
The Sutlership in the army is likely to be abol
ished, or greatly restricted. Something of the
kind is needed, but it is exceedingly difficult to
protect the soldiers from imposition.
Andrew J. Clements, of the 4th District., Tenn.,
has been admitted to a seat in , the House.
The Missouri Senators, having joined the reb
els, have been expelled.
The army appropriation bill has passed the
House.
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary have
come to the conclusion, by a vote of 6 to 3, to re
port against the expulsion of Senator Jesse D.
Bright, of Indiana, the question involving his
loyalty having been referred to him.
JAIL 4.—HousE.--The bill abolishing the frank
ing privilege passed--yeas, 107 ; nays, 42. The
bill is as follows : Be it exacted, &c., that from
and after' the Ist 'of July, 1862, the franking
privilege shall be and is hereby repealed.
SENATE.—The bill relative to the confining of
negroes in the Washington jail, was extensively
discussed.
Mr. Clark offered an amendment that no per
son be hereafter confined in jail without a war
rant from a magistrate or court, or an order from
one of the Houses of Congress. Agreed to. The
bill passed—yeas 31. Nays, Messrs. Carlisle ?
Kennedy, Powell and Saulsbury-4.
JAN. 10.—The United States Agricultural So
ciety has adopted a aeries of resolutions advoca
ting agricultural education, and prepared a pre
mium list for a series of experiments on the
cultivation of cotton in the Middle and Northern.
States ; also, of hemp and flax; the awards to be
made by the Central Agricultural Societies of the
states in which the competitors reside. Ar
rangements have . been also perfected for a Na
tional Exhibition of native wines, to be held in
this city, in January next.
Gov. Curtin has arranged to pay the war tax
of Pennsylvania by having the State credited in
account with the Government, the moneys it ad
vanced to equip regiments and send them into
the field. This course will probably be pursued
in the case of every other State which has a
credit account in the War Department.
There is a heavy pressure brought to bear here
from the North on the present inactive condition
of the army.
The War Department, it is stated, has received
no official notice of the intention of Gen. Siegel to
retire from the army.
There is a report here that some of the indis
creet friends of Gen. Fremont are creating much
mischief by embarrassing some of the minor de
partments. The Fremont trouble, which is look
ed upon as merely a bubble, will be satisfactorily
settled as soon as more important matters are
disposed of. Fremont himself, it is proper to
state, is in no way responsible for the follies com
mitted by his friends.
JAN. 12.—The steamship Pensacola, which left
here for Alexandria, yesterday morning, run the
blockade in safety. Twenty-two shots were fired
at her, but none atruck her. She did not return
the fire. She was heavily ladened with cannon
and other appliances of war, and fully prepared
for hostile service. The Pensacola took on board
another eighty-pounder rifled gun. Her arma
ment now is very formidable. In addition to her
broadsides of twenty-two nine inch shell-guns,
she has one eleven inch gun and two eighty
pounders. She reached Annapolis safely.
JAN. 18.—Gen. McClellan continues daily to
improve, and he rides out in his carriage -on
business.
I=
The President has approved the joint resolu
tions explanatory of the act to increase the du
ties on tea, coffee and sugar.
The Tribune's Washington oorresperident says:
The weather has so broken up the,roads on the
other side of the Potomac that even the irre
pressible Siegel himself, who always reaches his
destination about the time that it is announced
that he cannot possibly leave his place of depar
ture, could scarcely move a division over them.
It is mud everywhere, and deep mud too.
The President has said that he will not accept
Gen. Siegel's resignation except as a last resort
He accounts him a valuable officer, and will
spare no pains to retain him in the service.
Gen. Lane has not tendered hie resignation to
the Governor or Legislature of Kansas, nor has
be accepted the Brigadier-Generalship, 'lately
tendered to him by the President andconfirmed
by the Senate. Nor does he intend to accept it,
as he declared in that body; until he has resign
ed his seat, of which the . Senate will have full
notice.
We must be on the eve of stirring events in
Kentucky. The expedition from Cairo is the
most powerful, both in men and armed vessels,
ever fitted out by the United States. Gen. Buel
has a splendid army of some 60,000 to 80,000
men, on the way to Bowling Green. From East
ern Kentucky we have the following :
A letter from Catteburg, dated the 11th, to the
Democrat, says that on the 7th, on Jennies creek,
three miles West of Pointoville, a skirmish took
place between a part'of the 2d Virginia cavalry,
under Col. Bowles, Federal, and a portion of
Marshall's forces, ander Shaw. The rebels lost
6 killed, 14 wounded, and 7 prisoners. The
Federals lost two killed and one wounded. Be
fore Bowles attacked thein, Humphrey Marshall
addressed his men, advising the surrender of the
whole force. The men refused, saying that they
preferred fighting to such a cowardly conrse.
After a skirmish, Marshall's whole force fled ;
300 picked infantry and 900 cavalry pursued,

Governors' Messages.
OHM Cleveland, Ton. 6.—Th4 Ohio Legislate
tore was organized to-day, and the Governor's
Message received. The Governok congratulates
the people on the prospect of a fai , orable termi
nation of the present war, and on the general
prosperity of the State for the past year. He
refers briefly to the history of the State since
1802, when the Constitution was adopted, show
ing the immense increase of wealth and popula
tion. Referring to military affairs, the Governor
states that on the first call of the President, 92,-
000 men volunteered. The number of men from
Ohio now in the three years' service is 77,844,
of which, number 45,986 are in service outside of
the State. This does not include citizens of
Ohio who have entered military organizations in
other States, because of the want of authority to
receive them in Ohio. The total amount expend
ed for war purposes, to January 150862, in
cluding unpaid liabilities, is $2,389,467. The
Governor thinks the ultimate effect of the war
will be the extinction of slavery ; but he depre
cates immediate emancipation.
Wrsoonsts.—Governor Harvey says :
In reference to the war tax to be levied, the
loyal people of Wisconsin, do not value property
or life itself when weighed against the existence
of the Government which has so long blessed and
protected them in both.
He recommends economy amiss wise alminis
tration of affairs to meet the tax, and advises
the introduction of military tactics and drill in
the public schools.
Alluding to the rebellion, he says : " Surely a
few lessons more will teach us, if indeed we be
not already taught, to understand what treason
means, to regard these rebels with that horrid
aversion in which the royalist's hold the regicide.
These are the attempted regicides of the best
government under heaven.
" The Union alone gives sacredness to our soil
or institutions, and no person or any species of
property have any sacredness or claim to regard,
outside of the Constitution and in a rebellion
against the laws."
MINNESOTA.—Governor Ramsey says:
Minnesota has raised : four full regiments of
infantry, three compariteS of "cavalry, and one of
artillery, numbering in all 4,400 men. A fifth
regiment is forming. The State now sends to
the protection of the Union a greater number
than composed her whole population in 1850.
He recommends military training in the
schools. In conclusion he says : « All which
the laws of war and of self-preservation war
rant, must be made to fall upon the crimes of
the criminals of this infamous rebellion ; even,
if necessary, to the extinction of human
slavery."
Port Royal.
New-Yonk, January 1.0.--The steamer Oriental
has arrived from Port Royal, with dates to the
6th instant. She passed the steamer Atlantic
going in at 6 o'clock in 'the morning.
Nothing special had occurred since the sailing
of the Vanderbilt. Gen. Stevens still held his
position on the main land, and was awaiting re
inforcements. Two regiments had returned to
Hilton Head.
Gen. Stevens visited Hilton Head on the bth,
but returned the next day to the main land.
The steamer. Ocean Queen would soon leave
Port Royal for ew-York.
Twelve vessels were awaiting storage for their
cargoes at Port Royal, and new storehouses'were
to be immediately constructed.
Our force at Tybee has been increased some
three thousand from Port Royal.
Fort Pulaski continued its firing, and one pri
vate of our forces had been killed.
A skirmish took place between the rebels and
a part of Gen. Sherman's force, on the main
land, on the sth, resulting in serious loss to the
rebels. Seven prisoners were also taken.
Reinforcements were daily arriving at Port
Royal, and all the troops were in good health and
eager for the fight.
Progress was being made in the collection of
the cotton crop, and fresh supplies of negroes
were continually arriving.
Gen. Stevens was reinforced by Gen. Sherman,
who sent a detachment of troops.
The New-York Express has a letter from Port
Royal, stating that the enemy's works bad been
completely destroyed and our troops had re
turned, two regiments going to Hilton Head.
The cotton brought by the Ocean Queen was
sold at an average of nearly sixty cents per
pound, with the exception of two out of the ten
lots (of very inferior quality;) which sold at
eighteen and twenty-seven cents respectively.
Cairo.
The fleet and army are moving from Cairo.
The first movements.were made on the 10th. The
advatifie landed; the neiilday, it Mayfield Creek,
Ky., eight miles below Cairo.
JAN. 13.—Two more columns will be moved
into Kentucky to-morrow. All transports here
have been chartered for that purpose. lam as
sured from the best authority, that troops are on
their way here from St. Louis, and will arrive
to-night or to-morrow.
Fifty prisoners taken by Gen. Paine were
brought to Bird's Point to-day, among whom is
Col. Bird, from whom that place derives its name.
Positive evidence exists that he has contributed
thirty-five thousand dollars in aid of the rebel.
lion, and that he voluntarily sent his slaves to
work on fortifications.
A nephew of Gen. Polk was arrested yesterday

The Burnside Expedition.
FORTRESS MONROE, January 13.—Most of the
vessels composing Gen. Burnside's expedition
left very quietly, at intervals, during Saturday
night. Others left during the forenoon of Sab
bath, including a large fleet of schooners which
had been here for sometime. The New-York
transports did not leave till 11 o'clock to-day,
and the transports Louisiana and New Brunswick
are still here. A number of schooners and sev
eral gunboats, said to form, part of the expedi
tion, are still in port.
All sailed on Tuesday, 14th. The Pensacola
has arrived here.
Rebel Camp broken up in Howard County,

ST. Louis, Jan. 10.—Gen. Palmer telegraphs
Gen. Halleck from Otterville, that on the Bth
Majors Torrence and Hutabard, with 450 troops,
attacked the notorious rebel, Poindexter, with
from 1,000 to 1,300 men, on Silver Creek, doward
County, totally routing them, with the loss of
seven left on the field, many more carried off, and
from fifty to seventy-five wounded and thirty
prisoners taken. Our loss is four killed. The
rebel camp was destroyed and a large number of
horses and teams taken. The heavy fog alone
saved them from complete destruction.

GREAT BRITAIN
Deptttations .from religions 'denominations, in
cluding,the Congregational Union, the Baptist
Union, and the Baptist Board, had . an interview
on the 27th of December, with Earl Russell on
the subject of the threatened war with Am9rica.
The English papers continue to teem with ar
ticles on the American question, but as they are
mostly confined to speculations on the eve of so
lution, it is not essential to give them.
The iron-plated frigate Warrior had got her
sails bent, and . - was to be kept in readiness to
leave, pending the solution of the American
question.
• When the Canada left Liverpool, a state of sus
pense prevailed, and the greatest anxiety was
felt relative to the advices per the . Africa, then
due, in response to those from England by the
i.Europa.
A body of trained nurses, on Miss Florence
Nightingale's plan, were to proceed to at once to
Halifax.
The Army and Navy Gazette says that there is
a prospect of trouble with the Sikhs. The bat
teries of artillery at Bombay, on the point of
embarkation to England, were stopped by press
ing dispatches from Bengal.
IRELAND
The Dublin Nation openly declares that the
news of the capture of the rebel leaders on board
a British ship created wild excitement and en
thusiasm in Dublin, and that it would awaken
similar feelings and sensations throughout the
whole country. The-editor adds:
The seizure was an " act worthy the spirit,
daring and dash of the Americans ; it was one to
make Irish hearts jump with joy. If the Eng
lish Government resents this insult, there will
come a great time' for Ireland. Then the men
who are gone with vengeance will prove venge
ful men indeed! Then will the Irish race in
America rush to arms, and bound into the battle.
" Yes, then will the forces of England find in
their. front such desperate men as entered their
ranks at' Fontenoy, to the cry of, remember Lim
erick. Yes, the men crow-barred out of their
homes in Ireland; the men oppressed, insulted,
scoffed, and, wherever they went, pursued by
by English slander and hate = those men will be
in the van of the fight, and then will woe come
to England. And what of Ireland- in this great
time? What will Irishmen do when comes this
supreme opportunity, the like of which can only
come in many ages ? Who can tell what they
may do, what they will , be able to do, if they, act
well their part es brave men? They can, most
certainly, establish the independence f Ire
land."
The Nation is Roman Catholic in its leanings,
but, happily, we have proof on hand that the
sentiments it expresses are not influenced by sec
tarian considerations. Smith O'Brien, a sturdy
Protestant, " seconds the motion." True, O'Brien
thinks it our duty, first to make peace with the
South, in order to unite against England, with
out suggesting to us in what way we limn, with
honor, make peace just now, but, on the main
point—the point that if a struggle with England
should ever come Ireland will be with us—he is
sound to the core.
ENGLISH AND FRENCH JEALOUSIES
The following paragraph from the London
Herald is curious but characteristic :
"But there are three moods, which the coun
try must absolutely preserve in awaiting the so
lution of the present question. They are for
bearance, suspicion and self-questioning. To
America we are bound to be forbearing, exact
ing always, however, the last item of our right.
The temper of the North is cooler, let it be re
membered, than that of its journals and its Ex
ecutive; and if, with a supreme effort of self
command, it offers us equitable terms, we should
be prepared to listen. Then, with regard to
France, nothing can be coarser than the frantic
efforts of the Paris press to urge us on to war.
The ihronde, which never had a good word for us,
is absolutely affectionate now, and the Patric is
quite patronizing in its kind anxiety to see the
Saxons well at loggerheads. When the fires
smoulder a little the French papers keep on stir
ring them up with a piece of soi-distant news,
and half the canards in circulation upon the
question are hatched in Paris. The British peo
ple, however, have certainly no intention of go
ing to war to provide the French with cotton and
a spectacle, and the intriguers, too suddenly so
licitous about our flag, must be made to under
stand that their advice is so transparent that
their motives are visible through it. We must
be, . therefore, suspicious of our sudden friends,
as well as forbearing to our sudden enemies.
But it irinto our own motives that we must look
most deeply. If an opinion holds that this war
will benefit our trade, and we should urge it se
cretly on that ground, we should be as criminal
as short-sighted. The affair will cost us more
than it can possibly bring.. It may give us a
year's crop of cotton, 'but only at the loss of
ships, and men, and trade—of the progresses of
peace, of reform, of diminution in taxation, of
India's growing prosperity, and of our own in
fluence on the continent. Whatever we shall
gain by it the sure issue of the civil war would
bring us a little later and without these losses."

DIED—On the I.llth of December, 1661, after an illness of a
few weeks, WILLIAM ARMSTRONG, Sr., in thu 130th year
of his age.
In his business habits the deceased was a man of great
energy, industry, and 'endurance. Possessing in a high de_
gree those social qualities, the exercise of which tends to
lessen the ills of life and to strengthen the ties that bind us
to earth, the stranger soon felt himself at home in his pres
ence. A lover of hospitality, his heart and house were open
fur the entertainment of both the stranger and acquaint
ance. In his domestic relations, perhaps few men excelled
him in the uniform kindness of his heart, and in the fond
greetings be was accustomed to extend, to kindred. On a
profession of his faitk in Christ, Mr. Armstrong, at a some
what advanced period of life, became a member of New
Providence church, then under the pastoral care of Rev.
George Van Eman. Some time afterirard he was elected and
ordained it Ruling Bider of the same church, in which office
he continued to eerie with acceptance till his death. During
i his illness he expressed perfect resignation to the Divine will,
affirmed his strong confidene,e in the atoning merits of
Christ, and his firm reliance on the doctrines of grace, as
affording him consolation and good hope of Intim happiness .
His surviving partner, who has travelled with him in life's
Journey for more than fifty years; and a large circle of
friends, together with the church of which he was a member,
though bereft of his presence, his counsels of es:Operation
would submissively bow to the will of Him who doeth all
things well.
