In msponse to a cnll through the papers for a mass mooting of the Irish citizens, to bear an address from General John O'NicI, about five hundred persons, among whom were at least three hundred "Sons of Erin," assem? bled in the Hibcrnian Hall last night. On the stage were President John F. O'Neil), of the Hibernian Society; President Powers, of the Fenian Brotherhood of this city; Rev. Mr. Crogban, M. P. O'Connor, James armstrong, James M. Mulvany, Thomas Furlong, D. T. Corbin, B. O'Null, W. A. Kelly, Captain Stew? art, John O'Hara, P. Brady, Thomas O'Brien, C. C. Trumbo, James Slattery, David O'Keefe, James Cosgrove, Philip Fogarty, John King, Aldermen Oreen and Voigt, and others. At half-past eight o'clock Captain James Mulvany, in a few co m pli LI sat irv remarks, in? troduced tbe orator of the evening. General John O'Neil, of the Fe lian army, formerly of the Federal army. GENERAI, O'XEIL'S ADDHESB. The General, on being introduced, Btated that he was mnch surprised to learn when he arrived here tba; Fenianism was so little un? derstood, in fact, was very mach misunderstood; that there was an impression prevalent to the effect that thc Church was opposed to Feuiati ism. To combat this impression JO had wiit ten out a ?talement whic'a be would presently read, but beforo doing so, would state tbat while he was a Fenian and warmly enlisted in its cause, he was not at all bigutted, but de? sired, io securing the liberty of Ireland, to secure at the same time the i ?gut of her people 0 worship God according to the dictates of their consciences ; that he wai as ready to draw his sword and fight for, nay die for. the Protestant Irish as tbe Catholic Irish. The speaker then proceeded to read the written statement which commenced by stat? ing that tho object of rhe meeting was to talk of the wrongs and sufferings of Ireland, and of the best means for ber liberation, but as England's inhumanity to Ireland has never done more than to fill the soul with an gu ?sb or arouse to temporary passion the hearts of our countrymen ; as it bas not put muskets into the hands of Irish soldiers or won one sir gie battle over the heats of the tyrant ; as it has not removed one single grievance or broken one link of the fetters of degrading slavery, it would be idle to dwell upon Ireland's wrongs and sufferings. 1 have come, said the speaker, as a represen? tative of men who are determine J to avenge those wrongs. The Fenian organization is of the opinion that th' red hand ot the oppressor shall be stayed ia its work of blood, not by tears and entreaties, bat by the vigorous ap? plication of cold steel. As its president, I freely concur in the opinion, and am convinced that a proper and complete ledress of Irish ?rrievancea is to be sought for OD the Lattle leid, and no where else. The past history ot [tish straggles has taught as not to rely apon impulsive, sadden action, but to fully prepare for the straggle beforehand. Discipline, skill, md monitions of war are necessary for as to carry on oar wotk. AU that we demand of you ire the necessary resourced to arm and equip is. Fenianism will supply trained soldiers tod skilled leaders. Justice, reason and abso? ute duty require that you should give, and five liberally, to the enterprise. Is Fenianism a crime against nations or -gainst religion, that yon should hesitate to uppor t it ? It is not a crime against nations, or everywhere among men the right of re vo? lition ia conceded-the right to remodel gov raments when they mn counter to the happi ?es* and prosperity of the people. It is not a crime against religion, fJr religion dmite the right of revolut.oo; the endeavors >f the oppressed to oast the oppressor, the ,'harch bas never condemned. Her censure is lonfiaed to the exoeeses which sometimes mark he endeavors. What a monstrous doctrine it roald be to hold that the Church was op need to human liberty; that the princi? pes of Christianity favored the servile labjection of the multitude to the arbitrary ale of the few. If sach teachings had ailee from the lips of the Founder of Chris ianity, won id He have been likely to have oand His most devoted followers and most lealoos Apostles in the poor fishermen of Galil? ee; would the proud Pharisee have conspired Iis death, or the humble Publican been nam lered with His friends; would it, in short, be a Irvine religion, a religion of charity, if it did tot unequivocally defend the right of r?volu ion ? Take away the right of revolution, and nan onoe stripped of his freedom must forever emaio a slave; take away the right of revola ion, and it becomes a crime to attack the isurper who bas robbed you of yo or liberties; 0 repel the ruthless invader .vho has desolat id your hom?? and seized your lands; take iway the right of revolution, and religion it? iel! loses the cardinal point on whioh it hinrea -the free will of man. Deprive a man of free rill, and yon deprive religion ot its mainspring ; be more the fr se will of man is shackled the nore limited becomes the sphere of religion, ind in denying the right of revolution you 1 trip mao o* treo will altogether: and, conse? quently, destroy the uses of religion. Cbria ianity, then, would commit suicide, ii it for. ?de any attempt against established tyranny. Che sneaker quoted freely from Cardinal Bel arman in support of bis argument, that relig on was oot opposed to resistance of tyranny. In regard to those who aaaert that the Fenian ?rot h erhood in not able to successfully cope rit h the English, and therefore the Church vooJd object to any attempt to do so, the ?peaker spoke very warmly and at length, say ng: The Church, say they, is opposed to rebel ion when there is good reason to suppose it viii not be successful, and, therefore, must be ipposec to Fenianism. Has the Church ever ifted up its voice against the uprising ot a sut . ?ring people because they were iewer in num >er than thc hosts of the tyrant? Has she iver denounced their efforts because they were nore stinted in resources than the enemy? lever. When the downtrodden Poles, a few rears back, roso against thc Czar, did the Church condemn the attempt, because tbe sol liers of Russia outnumbered them in propor ion of ten to one? On the contrary, did not tope Pias IX approve of their cans3 and io roke the blessings of Heaven on their arms ? The speaker, after reciting numerous facts rom history to show that the victory was not .1 ways to the stroBg, said that it was not the ntention of the Fenian Brotherhood to madly uah forward to the fray, trusting solely to the nerits of its cause, but to await until it was 'ul ly prepared, and it was now rapidly orgauiz ng and concentrating its forces. The objection ot some against Fenianism, jecause, as they asserted, it was a secret so :iety, was next discussed by the speaker, tie laid that it was no secret society. He knew rery well that the Church was opposed to se* :ret societies, but no saoh objection could be rightfully urged against the Fenian Brother? hood, because it was not a secret society ; tbat a few designing men bad attempted to make it mob, bat they had been successfully resisted, rhe Brotherhood had a written constitution, which waa open for inspection to all. Ita ob lacis ware known to every one; and the only Be? ere ti that it bad were snob as every good gov* ar timon t found it necessary to establish a maintain. The remainder of the General's sta meat was confined to showing what Feniani had thus far done (all of which is known to c readers,) and in warmly urging those who b either refused to assist the enterprise at all, had only partially done so, to arouse the: selves and heartily espouse it. The ?tateme concluded as follows: ''Eastland tell us tl Fenianism is not a failure, and we will belie oar enemy sooner than the men of our rai and who have shown their patriotism on in their doubts, and oven in denunciation our enterprise. Fenianism isa success,cri out our hurt and wounded adversary. Fenia ism ia a failure, simpers its pretended friend Patriot Irtabmen, I leave it to you which the two is more likely to have given the cc rect decision, tho cold and indiff?ran t fnen or the bitter enemy smarting under the la of defeat? I need not ask. Fenianism h been a great success, and it is for us to ma] it a greater, a complete suocess in the ft achievement of Irish Independence." At the conclusion of the reading, the Gener thanked the audience for their kind attenti: and begged to be excused for any awkwardne that might have been apparent in bis readin saying that he was a soldier, had led a soldiei life and was at home iu the field, but note the platform. He was not a speaker and on spbke through necessity-only because be ba that this was the only way to arouse h countrymen an ; bring them to tho point whit the English people would only recoin :z 3-tl point of the bayonet. I predict that very shortly, although thei is not much appearance of it now, the Iii; citizen? cf Charleston will be tully aroused I the merits of thc Fenian cause, and every or will be either in active communication with tl Fr ai an bead-centres or be in tho fitlJ battlin with their brctheren in tbe grand old cause c Ireland's liuorty. In February, 1866, a few Fenians assemble in Pittsburg, Penn., and de tor OJ mee to in y ad Canad i, from the United States. Aud, by th way, Til mjot right here the objoction so ofte urged that wc hid no right to invade Canad* became her people had never interfered wit nj. I admit that they never interfered wit U?. Neither have tho masses of tho people c Eng'and, whom I consider more abject slave than wore the negroes ia South Carolina te years ago, and I would gladly aid them i: throwing off the yoke of their tyrants. I con tend that wherever the English flag floats w have a right to go and pull it dowi and smite those who stand ready to de food ic The flig is the representative o England's tyranny, which for the last sevei hundred years has oppressed our beloved coun try, and caused thousands upon thousands o her citizens to die ot etatvation. We have i right to tear down that flag wherever it floats and to trample il in the dust. And besides, it Canada the people claim to be the subjects o Great Britain, and those whom we met in om brush there, in 1866, and mad ; scamper, had rallied to support that emblem of tyranny and called themselves the Queen's Own-if they tad not run so fast, they would have been Om Owo. As I have said, we determined iu February 1866, to invade Canada. Then we had not one cent iu the treasury, no muskets and no mili? tary stores. We invaded Canada with a small force-the remainder were prevented by the United States from going over. Had that first party been thoroughly successful, nothing would have prevented thousands from rushing over and joining their compatriots. In proof of my statement I call your attention to the report of General Meade, of the United States Army, to the President in May, 1866, in which he states that the "Fenian organization num? bers thirty-seven thousand, the finest mea I ever saw." The speaker again called the attention of the audience to the beneficial results the Fenians had caused-had mada England grant Ireland rights never before listened to; bad system? atized rebellion; bad awakened the attention and enlisted the sympathies of the civilized world to the sufferings and wrongs of oppress? ed Ireland; and concluded with another earn? est appeal to his hearers to bestir themselves in behalf of Fenianism, which, as he asserted, would exist as long as Ireland had a wrong to be redressed, and would be disorganized when the green dag floated in the free air of the free old Emerald Isle. In the speaker's remarks about Canada, (the capture of which by the Fenians, be ar? gued, would be a fatal blow to the commerce of England by fitting out privateers to prey upon it, and this would occasion a suspension of manufacturing establishments, throwing out of employment thousands who would engage in bread riots, and demand and make England grant to Ireland the liberty ber sons battled for,) he said that thero wa? much talk among the Southern people about the Irish having fought on the side of the oppressors of the South, depriving her of the vary rights which the Fenians were now urged to con? tend for in their owa couatry. Said the General: "It is well known that the Irish ars true to the people they live among.'' The Irish living North fought as zealously in the Union ranks-where I fought myself-as did the Irishmen for the "Lost Cause." If the North bad its Corcoran, the South bad its gallant Pat Cleburne. Had there been more Irish nen in the Southern army there would have been more fighting, for you know "where au Irishman is there is fighting." At the conclusion of the General's address, the audience applaud 3d him heartily and quiet? ly ret'red. We are fully aware that ia the above report we have only given a general outline of the General's speech, which was frequently ap? plauded._ TES MUNICIPAL MUDDLE.-If is reported that a cauous of the Pillsbury party was held on Sunday night to determine whether there should be a meeting of the City Council thia evening. The caucus was informed tbat thu Mackey party intended to keop out of the Couu cU Chamber, so as to leave the meeting in tho bands of their opponents, but that as soon as tbe Pil'sboryitea were seated the Mackey party woulJ swarm in, make a qu .rum, and force a a mooting. 1* was, therefore, thought best to avoid the trap by staying away altogether, and it is supposed that lhere will ba no meeling of Council to-night.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE IN RALEIGH.-A Wash? ington telegram says : Information has been received here of unpleasant difficulty borweon Chief Justice Chase and the bar of Raleieii, North Carolina The Chief Justice states that be was shown what purported to bc a protest drawu up and signed by many of the loadintr members of tho bar. On the opening of the court he addro ed tho members of the bar piesent, stating that the c mrt had seen the protest, and con sider ed it a contempt, and that thc clerk would be ordored to serve upon each member of the bar who sig.ir-d it, and a rulo to snow canso wby they should not be silenced until they purged tho nselves of the contempt.

CO? 2 00 lAOnOOATION-AH INSTANCE OF ITS ADVANTA OES-1'BDSPSBiTY OF AIKEN. -Since the clos of tbe lato unpleasantness, a decided south ward movement appears to have been ioauga rated among tho people of the North. Numer? ous societies havo been formed in thc Southern States for tbo purpose of guiding ard assisting such as desire to emigrate to particular local ?ties, but their success has been very limited as in the majority of instances, these associa tions lack haimony of action and more especially tho groat siimulm, individual inter est. It seems to us that individual enterprise should be made the agent of tbe distribution ot our vast tracts of uncultivated land to Northern pur? chasers. The movement of prospecting immi? grants should be directed by judicious adver tisementa, iu which the cheapness of the lands the advantages ct climate, as well as (be great natural resources of the Sooth, could be pro? perly presented to tbe Northern public. An illustration of successful enterprise of this kind may be found in the result of the personal exertions of Mr. E. J. C. Wood, of Aiken, 8. C That gentleman had the foresight to distinguish, at the close of the war, the next move on tho great checker board of the ccuntry; and two years ago he commenced distributing his Aiken pamph let, in which he gave an ample yet candid ex? position of tho natural resources, ic, of that section. The result has been that he has now disposed of the greater portion of the available property in his immediate vicinity, and that he is obliged to extend his operations over t be four adjoining counties of Barnwell, Edgefield Orangeburg and Lexington. Every day he re? ceives applications from those neighborhoods for the sale of lands, plantations and other property; in fsot his name is already a house? hold word with all property-holders in that section. As a result of his efforts tho Town of Aiken has assumed a thrifty go-ahead appearance, so much at variance with the gloomy, desolate aspect of hundreds of her sister towns through? out the South. Tho mail brings daily large sums of money from the North, and the conse? quence is that property is looked to, that paint and brush assume their sway once more, that buildings go up in all directions-in bhort, thtt life and business aro the order of the day. Let other gentleman in other sections emulate thc example of Mr. Wood, and the prosperity of the State will bo secured beyond peradven? ture. In Alemorlata. At a meeting of tho Congregation ot the Unitarian Church in thts city, held on Sunday, the 13th instant, immediately attor Morning Service, the following Preamble and Resolu? tions were presented and unanimously adopt? ed : We meet to-day to give utterance to our sa? cred sorrow for the loss of a beloved frieud; an associate held in* the highest esteem, honor, and reverence. Full of years-his duties done, his task accomplished, his term of service ended-Dr. JAKES MOULTRIE bas passed away into the rest promised to the children ot Got?. Connected with the Church through a period extending far beyond an ordinary lifetime, he has not only approved himself a most useful and trusty support and slay through all ita vicissitudes, but he has also endeared himself to the vt hole body of its members and to each of its successive pastors, by his uuiform wil? lingness to occupy any position, to attend to soy of ils exigencies, and to Bupply all ol its wants, to the utmost of his i-bility. An efficient offiaer-warden, chairman and senior deacon his voice and his pen were ever ready as occa? sion might arise. lu the absence of our pas? tors, and in the sad vacancies of tho pulpit which, by tho Providence of God, have so often occurred among us, we remember with mournful pleasure his prompt acceptance of the office of Header, which he fill? ed so repeatedly and so well. Ia the midst of a community remarkable fer its conserva? tism and tenacious adherence to the establish? ed and fa nil'ar forms of belief, he did not hesitate to avow-one among the earliest-his bellefin the doctrine of the Divine Unity, which we assert and maintain in ita emphatic and controversial sense, and regard as one of the brightest manifestations of religious intel? ligence, h ver prepared to "give a reason for the faith that was in bim," he held, unshaken, the even tenor of his way, and had the gratifi? cation to see the church of his choice expand and iiicrease, enfolding one after another many of the most enlightened of his fellow citizens, and establishing ita alf upon a firm and secure basis. It is not too much to say that to the lives and examples of such men asFoster and our be? loved Gdman, oar Lee, Webb, Moultrie and others who have gone to their reward, we are to ascribe, un der the direct favor of our Master and Head, the rise and progress of oar oh vishc d Church, still ia the minority, still straggling and militant, bat still ooo i dent In ita ultimate rio tory of Truth and ' Season. While we can point to the irreproachable character, the sin? cere z:al, the unstained purity, the devout piety of such, our ministers and brethren, we feel that we need fear no t ec tari an exclusive? ness. "By their fruits ye shall know them;" and we ate fully content to submit to this test, so rational in itself, so Ihorougly sanctioned by infallible authority. We do not grieve for our departed friend with any of the bitter consciousness of disap? pointment which attends upon the death of the young. In his well completed labors reining has been left unarranged; no hope has been de? ceived; no promise unfulfilled. No shadow of doubt dims our exulting faith in his removal to a higher and better sphor?, where be has received the gracious welcome accorded to the sincero and devout in heart-''Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou iuto the joy of thy Lord." Penetrated with these sentiments and views, we effer the following resolutions tobe entered on our minutes, and reoorded on a page set apart in tho Record Book of our Church: Ilesoleed, That in the death of Dr. JAMES MOULTRIE, our Senior Deacon, the Unitarian Society in Charleston has lost one of its most estimable and revered associates, and tho Uni? tarian Church one of its most valued, useful and respected members. Resolved, That his life and character have been such as to entitle bim to the warmest ar. {iroval and most cordial admiration ot a I who ove and desire to promote the true" doctrine and practica ot tho religion of our Lord and Saviour, lesna Christ. Ilesoleed, That in our profound sorrow wo still recognize- tho infinite consolation to bc de? rived, as well from our recollection of bis con stjnt fulfilment of bis allotted duties during a term of ripo ai d protracted yf ar? ami ng us, as from the glowing confideuco (hat he is now reaping tho rich reward ot bia patient endur? ance in a course of virtuous conduct and hum? ble piety. Ilesoleed, That wo oder Hie expression of ocr earnest sympathy with his widow and rela? tives, wi li whom we claim, ii all heartfelt sin? cerity, to unite in their grief aa<ol!o*-inourn ers. * Resoled, That our communion tab'c and reading detdr be clad in motirniug tor the spaco of six months, as a memorial of his faithful servie o as Senior Doa con, Ch airman and War? den, as well as Lay Reader of this Church. ResUoeil, That the Secretary of this corpo? ration prepare a copy of these proceedings to be 6cnt to the widow of our deceased friend, with assurances of oar sincero condole: ce :n her bereavement. Ilesoleed, That these proceedings 'oe publish? ed in tho daily papers of this city. BUSINESS NOTICES. CHEAP GOODS.-J. R.
