COLUMBIA.. Thursday Morning, October ll, 1866. Ireland. A loading London journal, the Pall Midi Gazette, discusses the Irish ques? tion with some show of sense, und indient?'s that some of the English press and people ure not entirely blind to many of the causes of the discontent of the Irish people and their hatred of British rule. The truth is, Ireland is 7Mi"s-governed moro than she is oppressed. The following paragraph glances, at least, at tho truth : "It is a grievous calamity and un? questionably a sad reproach to our statesmen :<nd our nation, that the irish should be so disloyal and should entertain so strong, though often so undefined, a conviction of mis-go? vernment and injustice; for we believe that, in several respects, th ero is scarcely a people upon earth easier to manage, or who would be so at least to any other race than the English. But, unhappily, with frequently the best intentions, we have never got the secret of success; the natures of thc two people are singularly discrepant and inharmonious; we have more difficulty in understanding Wem, and they in tolerating us, than would be found in similar relations between Slavonian or Teuton, Latin or Celt, Greek or Muscovite, almost as much as between Asiatics and Europeans. Thc French would govern them fal better-with less justice, with less patience, with incomparably less con? sideration, no doubt, but still with far less irritation and far greater suc? cess. What they ask for, we ofter cannot give, because to give it would bc neither wise, just, beneficent, noi perhaps possible; what they wish for, we do not give, because we scarcely understand that it should be seriously or earnestly au object of desire, 01 that tlie gift would be so healing and gratifying as is said. We think toe much of what, in our judgment, tkej need, and too little of what, in theil own Hearts, they crave." The New York World thinks this state of things is a justification o! Fenianism. ff the British people arc so unjust or so stupid as here de scribed, that paper says the Irish ar? not to be blamed for desiring to go vern themselves. In truth, thc dim culty in this case is that Thad. Ste vens' plan has been tried for severa . .entmies with the Irish nation, ant it does not work at all. We kuo\ that the Irish people to-day hate th British Government worse than the; did in "'.KS. The policy that has bee] pursued towards that people by thei rulers luis been une of repression confiscation, insult and spoliation and the bitter fruits of this balefu seed are seen in the history of Ire land and thc hatred of Irishmen, ii livery country, towards the Britisl power. The Gazelle goes on to show who means should kbe taken to win th hearts of the Irish and make thei good citizens. And, intelligent read er, what remedies do you think thi London journal recommends? 1 avers that nothing less than an agra rian division of the soil will satisf the Irish people; and this being irr. possible, it suggests that they h given the right as tenants to th improvements they may actuall make. Ct then would soothe thes unmanageable subjects by recognis iug their national colors in the arm and in tho. formation of a regimer of home guards to attend upon til royal l'amiL}-, and then says that, wit these measures, an occasional visit < the Queen to Ireland will destrc Fenianism ! These are the remedie a sapient London journal recon mends for the pacification of a pei pie who love nothing better, nor as more, than political liberty. Gi\ thc Irish people their own Parliamei in College Green; then, and not ti then, will Fenianism or its spirit I repressed and allayed. The Philadelphia papers come i us with this paragraph: A DXI??G CHILD MURDERED. James Williams, sixty-six years ol living at Fifth and Bedford street on Tuesday night, it is alleged, tot a little child, five years old, from i bed, and though the innocent bal was dying, kicked it brutally abo the room, so that it speedily expire Now if this had occurred dov South, and the child had been blac what a howl would have gone i throughout vadiealdom. We learn that all the arrungemec have been made to inaugurate Sion wall Cemetery, at Winchester, Vi on the 25th of October. There ha been 1,350 interments, and there n about 500 more to be made. The Russian papers say that grt to the amount of 10,000,000 of roub has been destroyed in that count: by an insect called the "marmot.' A Cane of Proscription. It seems that a radical office-holder, named Conner, has been removed, and a conservative appointed in his place. Ile filled the highly impor? tant office of postmaster in a little village-North Vernon-in Indiana. He dies garnis however, and pub? lishes to the universe fifteen solid reasons that induced his removal. We omit the first five, and give our readers the benefit of the balance: G. I am removed because I do not support the infamously rebel Demo? cratic party, which systematically tried to murder me for fifteen long, dreary mouths, by starvation and ex? posure. .7. I am removed because I do not support the Democratic party, which starved me three days and nights at Florence, South Carolina, for refusing to point to them the modes of escape of some of my comrades. 8. l am removed because I do not support the Democratic party, who caused me to be shot at Chicamauga, and because I shot some of said De? mocrats. 9. I am removed because I do not . support the Democratic party, which robbed me at Richmond, Virginia. 10. I am removed because I do uot support the Democratic-Johnson party, whose members shot at and starved me at Belle Isle. 11. I am removed because I do not support the Democratic party, one of whom tried a second time to shoot me in Smith's building, at Rich? mond. 12. I am removed because I do not support the Democratic party, which endeavored to freeze me to death during tho winter of 1863- '61, at Danville, Virginia. 13. I am removed because I do not support the infernal and treasonable Democratic party, which came near starving me, at Charleston, South Carolina. li. I am removed because Ido not endorse the hellish party, which tor? tured me with hunger for six months at Andersoiiville, Georgia. 15. I am removed because I do not support the assassin's President. Was there ever such an unwarrant? able case of proscription as the re? moval of this long-suffering hero? President Johnson, stop that merciless axe you are now swinging about so lustily, especially Ln the case of such tough customers as the above. But, after all, having suffered and em.'ired sp much, we imagine Mr. Conner will survive his removal. How I.oui;.' The following paragraph tells of another kind of humiliation to which Southerners are subjected in Phila? delphia: "While General C. A. Battle was in Philadelphia, attending the late National Union Convention, being a man zealous for Sabbath schools, he went to a publishing house to which he was recommended, and inquired if they could get up a Sabbath school library unexceptionable in sentiment to the South. They replied: 'We have no ouch books, nor would we publish such if they were offered to us.' He then went to the American Baptist Publication Society, made similar inquiries, and received in sub? stance the same reply." How long will our people subject themselves to these taunts and sneers from the whining hypocrites of the city of brotherly love? These so-called religious publishing houses and so? cieties have no books to suit the Sab? bath schools of the South, and wonk! not publish them any way. The re? medy is simple for all this, if we can ever get out of the old beaten track of dependence on the North for pro? ductions of the press. There are presses, paper, type, printers and bookbinders throughout the South, and competent men to write appro? priate volumes for a Sabbath school library unexceptionable. If we do not use the means we have all about us, and prefer to patronize our po? litical enemies, we may expect to be snubbed, and we do not know but we deserve such treatment. Brownlow, in his Cleveland speech, discoursed of the future state as fol? lows: "If God, in his providence, should call me off, I have no fears of the consequences beyond the grave. If the books have been correctly kept in the upper world, as I have no doubt they have, there will be a small ba? lance in my fav?r." Such is the persistent blasphemy of a man who is admitted to the pulpit, and who aspires to control the destinies of a people. Was there ever a spectacle, exhibited ta the per? son of one man, so shocking? GENEROUS PROPOSITION.-Mrs. G. A. H?lse McLeod, of the Baltimore Southern Literary Institute, offers to donate one full scholarship, with board and tuition, to her native State, Florida, and one for tuition to each of the other ten Southern States. ? Application to be made through the Southeru Relief Association, Balti 1 more. Tl??- Radicals for Civil War. Since Mr. Raymond's disclosure of the radical plottings for civil war, tho Browulows, the Stevenses, and Sumners have given new proofs daily of the desperation and tho wicked? ness of the men who would precipi? tate the country into that worst of all calamities. The Louisville Journal, long thc opponent of the Democratic p?rty, is cordially co-operating with it now in the effort to restore the Union, peace, prosperity and harmony, and to avert the radicals' threatened civil war. It says: The signs are direful. Our nation? ality seems more fearfully threatened than it was at any time during the late war, the world's greatest war. The portents glow and redden like bale-fires upon all the hills. The country is covered with combustible materials scattered around by fierce hands, and the hurliug a road of a single fire-brand from Washington, or the bursting of one fla;;h of light? ning from the lurid clouds that hang low over the Capitol, may wrap tile land in a conflagration of civil war. And let the Northern people remem? ber that if civil war comes, it will rage, and madden, and work its deso? lations first in the North, and, if the South choose, be confined to tho North. The people of the North, with the exception of the soldiers, knew little of war, save from reading about it. The flames of burning cities glared and the thunders of hos? tile cannon roared and died away a thousand miles off from them; but let a civil war, such as large portions of them seem now to be invoking, burst forth among themselves, and tiley will be the witnesses and thc victims of horrors wholly unparalleled by the late dreadful experiences of ! the South. It will be a war less of j armies than of neighbors and neigh? borhoods. The midnight torch will be one of the chief weapons of the fight. The air will be red with Hame and black with sulphurous smoke. COTJON TAX.--Tli e New York! Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday, appointed a committee to prepare a memorial to Congress, calling upon ; that body to repeal the absurd and: ruinous tax upon cotton. Now that j tin; new crop is coming in, it is found that tile enforcement of the tax is surrounded with difficulties. Itgives the assessor a world of trouble, em? barrasses the planters, curtails trade, puts the growth of cotton under the ban of the law, and oilers a premium to foreign cotton-growers. The tax, at the start, was foolish and spiteful, and was merely intended to injure the South. We have the finest cotton patch in the world, and if we. are wise, we may regain the virtual mo? nopoly of this great business: but to do so we must encourage, and not hinder, the production of that valuable fibre. DEATH or AN ECCENTRIC.-The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail records the deatli of ?ni old eccentric character in Coosa County, named Howell Hose. By hoarding his means for many years he had been enabled to accumu? late a property of nearly 8300,000, all of which passes by Iiis death to the use of his wife for life. The Mail says: "After the surrender, a body of Yankees went to the old man's house in search of gold, and threat? ened to hang him unless he produced it. The old man coolly told them to hang, and that they would find his a pretty tough old neck. They hung Lin np three times, but produced no confessio'n." INFORMATION.-The subjoined pa? ragraph may be interesting informa? tion to a Welshman, but we can't translate it: "Crwdglmpes Ap Thomas, the Welsh bard, is coming to this coun? try, lie will be received by the Llwglmntrsmstrath of Philadelphia, and his performance on Qthmdatt rurgwstlyn, or Welsh harp, will be the most interesting musical event of the season. He is a native of Moel gwstrnwbstwith, and his father was the inventor of the Brnwrw Cyrnrst gggllwust." SHOOTING AFFRAY IN BALTIMORE. On Saturday night, (3th inst., a shoot? ing affray occurred in a public house in the Eastern part of the city, re? sulting in the death of a man named Benjamin F. Jones, and the wound? ing of George Goodrich and John Betz, the latter seriously , A man named Wm. S. Richardson gave him? self up as the party who fired the pis? tol, claiming to have done so in self defence. The coroner's jury subse? quently discharged him. The affray grew out of political excitement. COUNTERFEITS-LOOK OUT -The Chattanooga Union, of Sa^iirday, says. "Look out tor counterfeit 'Twen? ties' on the First National Bank, Portland, Maine, several of which were offered here yesterday. A little scrutiny only is necessary to detect them, as the engraving is quite coarse. Those seen were letter 'A,' and No. 32,301 in right hand upper corner." George M. Snow, for many years commercial editor of the New York Tribune, died of heart disease Wed? nesday, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. SOUTHERN HOMESTEADS.-The law of June 21, 18GG, providiug for the disposal of the public land iii the Southern States for homestead set? tlement, is now being printed, with instructions, and will, in a few days, be ready for transmission to the Dis? trict officers in those States. The first section of the above Act pro? vides for the disposal of the public lands in tho States of Alabama, Mis? sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Flori^it, fur homestead settlement only, according to the provisions of the original Homestead Act. of May 20. 1802, and amendatory Act of March 21, 18U4, but restricts each entry to eighty acres, held at SI.25 per "acre, or half that quantity of double minimum land. This restric? tion as to quantity continues until the expiration of two years from the date of the Act, and entries after that will be allowed as provided for in the original law and the Act amendatory thereof, unless otherwise ordered by Cougress. In lieu of the 810 fee re? quired bv Act of 1862, to be paid at the time of entry, 85 must be paid when the patent issues. The bene? fits of the Act are extended to all citizens of the United States, without distinction or discrimination as to race or color. The above provi? sions have special application to States j mentioned, while the second section \ of the Act is of general application to all the States and Territories, and ? provides that, until the first of Janu? ary, ISO", the applicant shall make aifid?vi that he has not horne arms against the United States, or given aid and comfort to its enemies. The law is of further general application, ? in this, that the fee is reduced to 85, | when the, entry shall not embrace ? more than eighty aeres at 81.25 per j acre. The provisions of the Acts of 1802 and 1864, except as modified by i the Act of June 21, 1866, are made a j part of the last mentioned Act. [Cor. New York Tribuna. ? MILITARY RULE rs TEXAS.-Flake's Galveston Bulletin, ot the 2d, con tains the following order, which was 1 issued at Brenham by the command- i ant there, immediately after General I Sheridan left there; 1. Immediately upon the issuing j of this, all guards, patrols or armed ! parties, no matter by whose authority organized, will be discontinued. 2 In the future, any persons found ? with arms in their possession will be ' arrested by military authority. 3. It having been brought to the notice of the post commander that, within the last three weeks, the cases of outrage toward the freedmen have increased to au enormous extent, it is his intention to take immediate cog? nizance of all such cases, and render every assistance to the agent of the Bureau at this point, in order that justice may be done to the freedmen., and the guilty brought to punish? ment. .1. Any interference on tho part of the civil authorities in this County will at once be taken cognizance of. A FAST .WOMAN. -A letter from Homburg, a famous watering place in Germany, has the following: A "lionne" here now. who plays very high at. roulette, is a Russian countess, Madame Rim sky Korsakow. She has created a great excitement in Paris during the past winter by the particularly "loud" style of dress wliieh she adopts, and her very free i and easy manner. She is immensely rich, very handsome, and her rank secures her ad mission into the highest circles, lt is said that the Empress was very jealous of her ort account of the attention which she attracted, and that she attempted to banish Madame Rimsky from the court cir? cle. She dresses here very extrava? gantly, although with a certain kind of taste, wears immense quantities of diamonds and very short dresses, making a huge display of striped silk stockings. At the playing table, she converses with the croupiers, or anybody who may be sitting next her, with most perfect freedom. In the afternoon, she may bc seen in the co? vered walk, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. -< ?? ? ? SCENE AT A RADICAL MEETING. The National Intelligencer has the fol? lowing: General Cameron, in speaking at the late' Harrisburg mass meeting, seeing General Knipe in the crowd, said: "There's your Postmaster, Joe Knipe. I made him a General," and no sooner had he uttered the words than there rung out, in a clear, sil? very voice, from the audience: "You are a liar! 1 was made a General while fighting the battles of my coun? try, while you were at home specu? lating in mule contracts." It was the voice of the gallant General Knipe, and of course there was a commotion. A rush was made by the roughs at Knipe, but he defied them and kept them off. ALLEGED FORGERY AT NEW OR? LEANS.-It is stated that a claim agent has been detected in New Orleans in forging soldiers' pay ac? counts, by which the Government is swindled out of over 81,000,000. He 9ed from New Orleans on hearing ? that a warrant was out for him, and ' has not yet been arrested. Several '< paymasters and citizens of New Or? leans are implicated in the affair. Gen. Grant's pay is 818,678 a year, ind Lieut. Gen. Sherman's 813,518. Each ia allowed fifty horses. A major-general gets 85,800 a year, and is allowed five horses. The pay of a brigadier is 83,940.50. BROWNLOW'S ARMS AND AMMUNI? TION.-Writing to his Knoxville Whig from Cincinnati, Brownlow thus speaks of the arms ho is procuring to i inaugurate a new era of bloodshed in Tennessee: "A despatch in a Cincinnati paper, from Knoxville, represents me as having been arraigned there, in a speech by Col. Baxter, for having in- ? volved the State in a debt by the pur? chase of thousands of dollars worth of arms. I have no other account of this grave charge, and I am not wil? ling to think that a man of Iiis stand? ing and intelligence would make a statement so entirely false, and des? titute of any foundation in truth. Every intelligent man in Tennessee knows that the Legislature made no provision for any purchase of arms was not asked to do so-and that I have no fluids at my command with which" to purchase arms. Knowing these facts myself, and seeing there is likely to be a necessity for arms to enforce the franchise law, and to pre? vent the State Government from overthrow by a set of bad men in Tennessee, I have made arrangements with loyal Governors to borrow what arms may be wanted." THAD. STEVENS' DECENCY.-Thad? deus Stevens, in a speech at Lancas? ter, Pa., last Thursday, spoke in gross terms of abuse and vituperation of the President and the gentlemen who accompanied him in his recent tour, and had the bad taste to say, in reference to the injuries received by the patriot and statesman. William H. Seward, for his devotion to the Union: "The elder clown, owing to the wear and tear of age and suffer? ing-you know he had his arm broken and his jaw broken, and his neck broken, almost - -inducing a necessity for certain opiates, which had very much worn down his vigor." &c, Ac. This coarse and unfeeling allusion to the injuries received by Mr. Seward at the hands of the assassin. Payne, which should have caused a blush of shame on the most hardened cheek, was-and it is stated boastingly-re? ceived with applause by the pure and high-minded patriots present. What are we coming to? I Washington Star. THAT'S THE DOCTRINE.-The Louis? ville Courier urges the President to recognize no longer "the present piece of Congress," until it admits the Southern members-to "protect himself by denying its legitimacy and authority,.and resisting its arbitrary and illegal enactments." We hope to learn, before long, that the Presi? dent has taken up with this idea. There is no use in temporizing with such men as the radicals, who have no more conception of the binding force of constitutional obligations than a blind man has of colors. They repudiate every duty they owe to the Soutlu-rn people as joint owners of the Union, and speak of us and our States as if we belonged to them. It is no slander to say that the radicals have lost all sense of honor as be? tween man and mun, in their insane hatred of the Southern people. If they treat one another at home as they propose to treat us, it must be a delightful country to live in-equal to Central America. A MOST VALUABLE BUREAU. -( ) wing to the extensive frauds which were being perpetrated in this city, by the circulation of counterfeit money, it was deemed advisable by the United States Treasury Department, several months since, to establish in Balti? more a detective department, which was done, several shrewd and ener? getic residents being appointed. The appointees entered upon their oner? ous duties, and, we are happy to state, have labored so assiduously as to have almost entirely broken up the operations of the counterfeiters, or their aiders and abettors, in the cir? culation of the "queer," as it is vul? garly termed. So far have their efforts been successful, that there are now no counterfeit Treasury notes in circulation, except a few of the old issue, which are easily detected. [Baltimore Transcript. A person professing to be a coun? try buyer entered a large wholesale store in New York last week, and effected purchases to the amount of nearly 85,000, the cash for which he I promised to pay on the morrow, j Having completed his purchases, he j informed the junior partner that he was going to see a lady friend, and that he had thoughtlessly left his watch at home, at the same time beg? ging the loan of his time-keeper, to prevent any suspicion in the breast A his fair friend. The merchaut, delighted with the business he had lone, not only fell in with his wishes, ant offered him in addition tho loan >i $50, which was readily accepted ay his wily customer. The merchant ?vas "sold," for his customer never returned. On Thursday night last, a furious storm blew down Palmer's circus j ;ent in Vincennes, Indiana, and tum-1 iled about 3,000 people into a pro- ? niscnoiis pile. The scene is said to lave been at once frightful and ludi? crous. Fortunately, no one was se? riously hurt.

In 1859, the then Governor of ohio, Salmon P. Chase, in the midst of a great excitement growing out of an effort to enforce ibo fugitive slave : law, taking the form of the arrest, hy the precess of the United States courts, of certain persons who had released the fugi? tive slave, for whom writs of habeas corpus had been sued out in the State courts, thus threatening a conflict of jurisdiction be? tween tho United States courts and the State courts of Ohio, laid down the doc? trine of nullification. Governor Chase said: ..t will only say, what I have frequently said before, that as long aa tho State of Ohio remains a sovereignty, andas long a. I am ber Chief Executive, ibo process of her courts shall bo executed. * * When 1 am called on to act, 1 will act."' [Immense applause.] Now. we wish to know if this Salmon P. Chase is our Chief Justice Chase. If this bo verily so, and Governor Chase and Chief Justice (.'base are ono and tho same per? son, we cannot but think that the trial of Jefferson Davis before Chief Justice Chase will he a very awkward affair. How will a nullifier try a secessionist'.' Wc eau readily imagine, when thc counsel of the accused justifies, on the ground of tin- sovereignty of the States, that the Chief Justice will foti that his position 6f presiding Judge is, slightly embarrassing. We are curious to learn what weight Chief Justice Chase will give to the opinions of Governor Chase on the question of State sovereignty. [ National Intelligencer. AN INTERESTING LAW CASH. -The New Orleans Times contains a report of an in? teresting law ease, tried last week in tho Parish of St. Martin. Jean Baptiste Allison, a freedman, was indicted for committing a murder on tho 15th of July, lSii?. The defence moved to (plash the indictment, on the grnnnd that at the time the defendant is charged to have committed the murder, he was a slave, subject to the laws of Louisiana relative to slaves, and amenable to a spe? cial tribunal created for their trial; that the effect of the amendment of t he Consti? tution of the United States was to set him free and abrogate all laws enacted for tho punishment of crimes committed by slaves. Tho prosecution held that, under tho Louisiana Constitution of 18(14, tho defend? ant had become a freedman, and was there? fore amenable to tho laws for freedmen. Judge Fred. Gates held that tho Consti? tution of 186-1 was illegal, and that slavery was not abolished in the Parish of St. Martin until Decemb- r 6, 1865, whi n the General Assembly of th.? State ratified tho constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery; that the defendant was therefore ;? slave at the time ho is alleged to have committed the murder, and that tho mo? tion to quash must prevail. Tho validity of President Lincoln'? pro? clamation was not decided upon, ns St. Martin was om; of tho parishes excepted from its operation. Admiral Sommes, in "assuming the duties and responsibilities of editor" of tin- Mobile Gazette, says, in the spirit of a true Southerner: "Every good and true mun must do his part cheerfully toward restoring harmony bet wooli tho two sections of our country, that prosperity may follow harmony. If the South is our coun? try, so also, now, is the North. We would have had it otherwise once, but an over-riding Providence, which doeth all things well, hath decreed differently, and, as men acknowledg? ing Christian responsibilities, we must bow humbly to this decree." The Foreign Missionary Board of the Protestant Episcopal Church havo prosecuted the work of missions in Africa with great zeal and earnest? ness. They have twenty-one sta? tions, and operate among seven native tribes, haying access to 150,000 peo? ple. The mission has existed twenty eight years. Mrs. Sturgis Hooper, the rich Bos? ton w idow, has sacrificed the interest of 8100,0(10, bequeathed to her lately, by her late husband's grand-fat her, (as a property to belong to her as long as .she remains a widow,) in order to becomo Mrs. Senator Sum? ner, and a lender in tb^e Senatorial society of Washington.
