March 7.-Despatches from Dublin state that the Fenians attacked Drogheda Barracks, but! were repulsed. Tiley carried off] their dead ami wounded. The fol-1 lowing account is given of the light ; on Tuesday, eight miles South of Dublin, between the Fenians and the \ armed police. One Fenian was kill? ed, five wounded and 200 captured. The Fenians rc outed to the hills North of Dublin. The troops wont in pursuit. The police station at Kilmalock was also attacked. The Fenians wore repulsed with throe kill? ed Und fourteen captured. Bank and police barracks of Aremore County were burned, and a police messenger shot. Fenians well supplied with rations. They have suddenly risen in all parts of Ireland. The Irish Secretary estimates the Fenian forces from 10,000 to 40, 000 strong. Thc latest despatches report ail quiet. Artemus Ward died at Southamp? ton yesterday. WASHINGTON, March 8.-The Se? natorial caucus yesterday opposed the May mooting to consider the impeach? ment. The caucus favored remain? ing in session to transact thc neces? sary business, and then adjourn to j November. The impeachment has rather depreciated; only Chandler announced himself unequivocally in favor of it. Tho President is overwhelmed with office-seekers. (rem Howard reports about 82,000 j whites ami 24,000 blacks who will! need food before the next crop, and that it will require over 82,000,000 to feed them. RICHMOND, March S.-0,000 ne? groes met to ratify the Sherman bill. Tho negroes were advised to vote against any constitution or proposed convention. Hunnicutt heads the movement. BUTLER ANO MORRISSEY ?:. CON? GRESS- IMPEACHMENT.- Tin; Balti? more Gazelle's Washington letter, of Monday night, says: When the Clerk, in calling the roll, ! reached tho name of Butler, of Mas? sachusetts, quite a sensation was pro? duced, lie answered ..here"' in a weak and tremulous tone, in striking contrast with the manly and distinct voice of Morrissey-tim caUing of whose name also gave interest to thc ^rrsherwise wearisome proceedings. By thc way, it is very current that Butler will seek immediately to take thc rib? bons from the hands of Stevens, and also run an opposition line against Sumner and Wilson for thc manage? ment of Massachusetts affairs. It is also thought that if Congress shall_ determine to adjourn shortly, the ma? nagement of thc impeachment will bo left in tho hands of a committee, with power to call Congress together ns soon as they shall have completed the investigation. The Star, Panola, Mississippi, says: "A very distinct shock of an earth? quake was felt in this vicinity, at 3 o'clock last Monday morning. It awakened many of our citizens, but was of short duration. In the South? eastern portion of this country and the neighborhood of Water Valley and Grenada, in Yalobusha County, it was moro violent, and created con? siderable alarm." ASTONISHED.-Thc New York Tri? bune says: That Governor Brown, of Georgia, should sustain the recon? struction jdan of Congress will as? tonish thc country-the South even moro than the North.

Thc Cotton Tax. j At the request of a friend and fel? low-citizen, of Columbia, we publish j the speech of Hon. James G. Blaine, of Maine, ou his motion to repeal the tax on cotton, iu the House of Rep? resentatives, February 22, 1807. Mr. Blaine said: I move to amend th? bill by in? serting after line sixty-two the words "that from and after the 1st day ol September, 1867, no tax shall be le? vied or collected on cotton grown within the United States.'" Mr. Chairman, from the tempei which lias already been manifested by the House on this question, I dc not know whether there is the slight? est hope that this amendment will be adopted: but I believe, with the old covenanters of Scotland, that it is sometimes valuable to beal*testimony against a wrong which wo are unable to resist. I think the tax on raw cot? ton is altogether the most extraordi? nary that was ever laid by an intelli? gent Government. Six years ago. when the war began, we had a mono? poly of this article in the markets ol the world. The course and events ol thc war robbed us of that monopoly. The system of labor on which thc cotton culture rested was utterly de stroyed, destroyed as a necessity oi war. and for the permanent welfare of the nation, as well as to vindicate the right of every man to personal freedom. Nor was this ali. The war, in :U ravages, consumed the horses, the mules and the farming imple? ments of the South, laying waste thc plantations and using up the accumu? lated wealth and the reserved capita of the South. Owing to this state oi circumstances in our own country, we find that Brazil, ("entrai America, the West Indies, Egypt, Australia and the East Indies were greatly stimulated and encouraged tu engage in the cultivation of cotton, am hence, during the rive years in whicl the business was practically suspend ed in the United States, every othe country in the world, where the eli mate and soil are suitable, engaget in the effort with great zeal and en prise. And they have succeeded in : remarkable degree, despite the asser Hons to the contrary, and are nov presenting a formidable competitio] with us in foreign markets. We now desire to regain our as cendeney, and the first step wide! Congress takes is to impose a heav; tax of fifteen dollar.-, on each an? every bale of cotton before it can b removed from the plantation or ?lis trict in which it is raised. It seem to me that absurdity cannot go fui ther; that if we had specially design ed to lay a great obstacle in the wa of our ever reviving the cotton bus: ness in this country, we could nc have invented a more certain an efficient mode than this tax propos?e Many gentlemen seem to imagin that the business of cotton growing i enormously profitable, andean, ther< fore, pay any amount of tax. Nov sir, ; do net hesitate to say that n business oi equal magnitude in iii whole country was attended wit such, unsatisfactory results as Wi cotton growing in 1S66. I hold i my hand some very valuable and r? liable statistics on this subject, and wish I had time to read them to tl House; but some brief extracts mu: suffice: In Alabama, on sixtce plantations, the total cost of the yea allowiug a very moderate rental f< the land, was over ?52-12,000, whi the total product v as only $137,00 showing a net loss of $105,1)0 Twenty-four plantations in Arkansa Tennessee. Mississippi and Georgi show a total loss of $121,000. Tl season was, I admit, extraordinari unpropitious, and the misfortune i that this fact operates to disco ara; tho cotton culture to such a degr that we ought to make some speci effort to revive and stimulate it ; a: we could do nothing su effective this direction as to remove the ta I have no doubt that if Congress wc to repeal this tax to-day, thousan j of acres would at once be planted cotton that will otherwise lie ie ; throughout the present year. We hear a great deal of talk in tl hall, Mr. Chairman, about the : sumption of specie payment. Tin rizing on this subject may be cut faining, if not instructive; but pr? tical men see that we shall not get to a speciy basis until we exp? something else than gold eagles a five-twenty bonds to pay our balam in Europe. Our hope of a balai of trade in our favor rests on t increase <;f our exports, and the oi way wo can effectively increase c exports is to encourage the growth cotton. Tut tho cotton region ii I position to produce a crop of 5,UU ! 000 bales-and with proper leg lation they will do that in I860-a I warrant you that we shall be on 1 specie basis at once, without flirt! i effort, and, indeed, without any c j knowing it until we have actua I realized it. 8250,000,000 ingold 1 our credit annually in Liverpool \ force us to the specie basis, even we did not desire to reach it. C peculiar hardship in this cotton is that it places the cotton grow white and black, under the contro j the money-leader. When the c: 1 is ready for market, it cannot be ! moved until the tax is paid, and : planter, having exhausted his me in producing his crop, is forced to . to the usurer, and hu is thus inev i bly oppressed to a cruel extent. C gentleman who had to raise $3,0" pay on his crop, told me that he J I paid forty per cent, for the money a loan of only a few -weeks. I sub? mit that a law which thus places labor in the hands and under the power of capital is faulty and vicious in the extreme. If we desire, Mr. Chairman, to elevate the material condition of the j freedman-and that is the direct j road to his moral and intellectual ele I vation-we must open to him profit? able avenues of industry. The fate of the negro and the cotton plant in I this country seem to be indissolubly ! connected, and just in the degree I that wc retard tho cotton culture, we i retard the progress and the profit of I negro labor. In urging the repeal of j the cotton tax, therefore, I feel that I I am most effectively pleading the cause of the emancipated negroes of the [ ?Southern States. The idea that we are punishing the South by this tax (which some gen ! Hellion advance; is utterly delusive, if ! it were ,110t indeed unworthy. The ! cotton tax is not an injury to tin; i ?Sout h merely, but to the whole coun i try, and quite as great an injury to i the manufacturing and commercial ! interest as it is to the agricultural, j Resentment is always an unsafe basis ; for legislation, and especially unsafe when applied to business and finan? cial questions. Let us throw such . feelings aside and look at the ques I tion in its true light. Let nsremem ! ber that a heavy export of cotton, I with cheap cotton at home, are among : the most desirable objects for the j whole country that can possibly be i attained. Let us remember that the j tax of 815 per bale is not merely an oppression and a hinderance to cotton ?growing in the United States, but j that it is a bounty and a stimulus to cotton growing in Egypt, inindia, ! and every where else that the plant I can be successfully cultivated. Wi' \ may, I know, get several millions per ! annum from this tax. but every dol ! lar derived from this source is a loss of live dollars in its adverse effects on other business interests of the coun i try. lt is a tax. in short. Mr. Chair ! man, which we cannot alford to col? lect, and which, 111 my judgment, . should be remitted at once. I PUENTH E ox Tin: S?ITATIOX.-The ' following paragraphs? from the Louis j ville Journal, of the 2d. are sound anti readable: I ..There is one thin;;' the radicals should consider. The conservatives ? arc far the larger portion of the popu? lation "i tb.e country, and in the I sommer of I.*>Gs> they will be even a larger, a much Janifer, portion of it than they are now. And such a ma? jority will govern, either by morai or political power, or-otherwise. Let the tierce and insane oppressors lay these important truths to their hearts and heads. Anything is better, or at leas: less bad. than eternal submission to insolent despotism, especially the I despotism of a majority. "We need not repeat our advice to I our Southern friends to stand as ! linn as the everlasting hills. They ' do not need the advice. They ; show that theirs is a stern and grand resolve that no influence or power ? can cause them to break. They will i keep their self-respect and fae world's j respect. Their skies are now black i with the shadows of au unnatural I night, but the morning-red will ere j long be visible. And then they can exultingly claim, 'the day-spring \ from on high has visited us." " ELIGIBLE MEX.-The Richmond Dispatch says on this subject: .'?Should the worst happen for this State, and a portion ot' our citizens who have served in public oliices be rendered ineligible, it becomes a mat? ter of interest to consider who are eligible and how the important of? fices are likely io be lilied. Having looked about .somewhat, we feel quite cheered to timi so many capable per? sons still left to take charge of public affairs." We think, ourselves, that ! when the proper time arrives for (selection, if we only manage rightly, : there will be no want ol' representa ? tive men for the State. We may be troubled about Congress, if we ever get the privilege of representation there. We think, with the Dispatch, that one advantage which may grow out of disfranchisement will be the bringing into action a number of young men, who may have both energy and hope to take the places of some who have little of either hope or energy. The men we need now are men of spirit and confidence in their ability to work out a prosperous future for their country. [ Charleston 2xeics. GOVEENOE BROWN AND EEVEEDV JI ?HXSON.-Governor Brown has made a speech explanatory of his recent letter. He assumes that an accept? ance of the constitutional amend? ment will free from political destruc tk and give us Congressional rep? resentation. Mr. Reverdy Johnson, who is probably better posted than Gov. Brown, says: "The constitu? tional amendment, if it had been adopted, would have brought into this chamber and the other chamber representatives from the South. ?Sow it will not." M GIFT ENTEKPEISE SWINDLE.-Thc ' ! Providence Journal reports that a gift ' i enterprise firm has disappeared from ; Westerly, Rhode Island, with some i '. thing like $100,000, forwarded by ' deluded people, in anticipation of ? grand distribution of prizes. The music of a wealthy church, iu :ew York, costs more than the min tor's salary. Tlie Tenure of Office Bill. Thc following, from the Nirilional\ Republican, gives us in brief thc effects of this bill us passed over the President's veto : At 12 o'clock, on the 4th day of March, the tenure of oiliee bill "was I most beautifully illustrated. At that hour, under that law, the official ex? istence of seventy-six Assessors and seventy-two Collectors of Internal Revenue, who were rejected or not acted upon by the Senate, ceased. It I immediately became the duty of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to provide against this extraordinary interruption in thc most important branch of thc financial department of the Government. Accordingly, he telegraphed to tlie Assistant Assessor of thc assessment district, or divi? sion, where thc rejected Assessor resided, in each district, io at once assume the duties of acting Assessor ! until otherwise ordered. I in the cases eil' the collectors, tue senior deputy collector of each dis? trict was telegraphed to assume tue duties of acting collector, retaining the office, in each case, where it is now situated. I In the same department of Govern i ment, collectors of customs, survey? ors, nava.l officers, officers of mints, i icc, Sec, ceased to exist by the same unwise and summary Act of Con? gress. j Our foreign affairs are a good deal I disarranged by the same cause. Thc business of the Interior De? partment is also interrupted. En the Post Office Department, the tenure of office I > i 11 is doing great j damage. A very large number of offices in different parts of the coun? try an: without postmasters, and some first-class offices at that. This was mainly caused by the refusal of the ' Senate to confirm good men who i were nominated by the President. Tlfe Se?ale considered politics pa ! ramount to honesty, capacity and pa ! triotism. The Philadelphia office was left without a postmaster, and the I man whose term of office ceased to I exist held in his hands about $40,000 ; belonging to the Government. By I Congressional legislation, his respon 1 sibility to the Government tormi j natedon the 4th instant. The Post I master-General had to assume the rc ! spousibility, against law, of placing some officer in charge of thc above named office. lathe Attorney-General's Depart-j j ment, tlie same difficulty exists. Thc Senate refused to confirm or reject i the marshals of Massachusetts and , Louisiana; hence, on thc 4th of March there were no officers to serve a process. The result is that in Bos? ton, the Uni toil States Courts are stopped for want of a marshal to per? form the functions belonging to his office. This is a specimen of thc malig? nant legislation of the Thirty-ninth I Congress. Let the people tedie no ! tice.-National Republican. - I THE roon NEGRO IX Tun NORTH. j The hypocrisy and insincerity of thc j radical party is fully illustrated in the j following report of tlie proceedings ; in the House of Representatives, at j Washington, on the 2Sth ultimo: Quite an amusing scene occurred in the House this afternoon, which was rather more enjoyable to the Democrats than the radicals. Mr. LeBlond, of Ohio, watching his op? portunity, rose and asked ii few minutes for a personal explanation. The Speaker recognized him, and lie rea.I a despatch from Columbus, whieu appeared in Lue I //ronni'!, of this morning, announcing that the j popular branch of thc Ohio Legisla I turo had voted by twenty-four ma I jority against a resolution to strike j out the word ..white"' from the Con ! stitution of that State, and also an j other despatch announcing that the ' General Assembly of New York had refused to allow impartial negro suf? frage in the election of delegates to the proposed constitutional conven? tion. Mr. LeBlond congratulated his Democratic friends upon the fact j that they had been sustained in op-, posing negro suffrage by these two1 great States-New York and Ohio. The evidence was overwhelming, and only Mr. Garfield, on the radical ? side, undertook to reply, by havingja proclamation read from the Mayor of I'azoo City, Mississippi, against va- ' grant negroes, which, he said, was a ; good antidote for thc despatches announced by LeBlond. Thc House didn't think so, however, and the : laugh was rather against the negro su tirage party of that body. An official communication show? thc aggregate amount of $530,000 expended for subsistence stores issued to tlestitute refugees and freedmen, or persons not belonging to the army, for the six months ending with De? cember last. Of this, nearly $24,000 i are set down for Tennessee, $88,000 ? for Louisiana, 8170,000 for Alabama, . j $35,000 for Georgia. $51,000 fo* South Carolina, 833,000 for North Carolina, t $74,000 for Virginia, $32,000 for . ; Washington, and other sums varying ; from 81? to 81,100, wore expended in . : other Southern States. . I The Nashville Union and Dispatch ; says it is reported that Governor Brownlow would suppress the Mem i phis Avalanche on account of its bit t j terness. We don't think so. There . ! are some things that even he will not ; venture upon. SHIP NEWS. PORT OF CHARLESTON, MARCH 8. ARRIVED YESTERDAY. Steamship J. W. Everman, Philadelphia. Hohr. Richard Peterson, Philadelphia.
