nounced with acrimony on ex post facto grounds;
because I expressed my belief that the Union, as
it had been, was gone for ever, I was called a shal-
low observer by writers who are now declaring
that unless the will of the people of eleven States
is put to the sword the Union is lost ; because T de-
picted, or tried to depict, slavery as I found it to
my senses—a cruel, cold, deadly ingratitude to
God—and the plantation system as an organised
outrage on human nature, I have been styled a
spy, a traitor :(and the Lord knows what besides,
because the Southern journals do not circulate here),
and it is asserted that I concealed or changed my
opinions. " Contempsi Catilince °hullos, non per

anything tempt me again to make any rejoinder to
the attacks which may, and no doubt will, be made
upon me, and of the wilful malice and persistent
falsity of which I have already satisfied my own
mind not unreluetantly.

is a good- deal of discontent among the soldiery.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)
DUBLIN, AUG. 29.
I said in my last letter that the Queen and the
Royal party would spend Wednesday in privately
viewing the grand scenery around 'Muckross, and
only go upon the lake in the afternoon to witness
the stag-hunt. To the intense disappointment of a
great muster of visitors, the programme thus laid
down was strictly adhered to and her Majesty
passed the morning quietly walking about the
grounds of Muckross, and visiting the ruins, and
did not come upon the lake till long past four in
the afternoon. It is perhaps quite needless to say
that much before that hour every boat that it was
safe to venture in at all, with very many in which
it was scarcely prudent to embark, was upon the
waters. Probably there were not less than 150
large boats, and every one laden deep with ladies
and gentlemen. Such a gathering had never
before been seen at a stag-hunt at Killarney.
Almost before twelve o'clock the great mass
of the craft were distributed along the shore of
the lower lake under that grand range of moun-
tains known as the Toomies, which are covered
with a magnificent growth of trees from the water's
edge up almost to the very crest of their misty sum-
mits. The occupants of each little vessel were of
course in possession of the most authentic and the
most private information as to where the hunt was
really to take place, and the result was that every
bay and inlet along the shore from Glenna to Ben-
son's Point—a distance of some three miles, was
thronged by noisy, joyous picnic parties hours be-
fore their proper time. The weather, though cloudy,
I was beautifully-fine and warm, and the effects of
the mists on the mountains, and the lights and sha-
dows thrown as they drifted slowly across the sky,
afforded endless varieties of tints, which it would
seem that one could never tire of watching. Ap-
parently, however, these glories possessed but small
charms for the Irish visitors, who never took their
eyes off the channel of the lake which winds past
Glenna to Muckross, and down which her Majesty
was expected to come. But 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock,
and then 3 o'clock passed without any signs of the
Royal party, and even Hibernian enthusiasm (for
it was remarked what a very small number of Eng-
lish visitors were present) began to flag before the
long deferred hope. Gradually the crowds of boats
broke up and went gliding about the smooth water,
some to the ruins and green glades of Innisfallen,
some to the wonderfully picturesque, though small,
waterfall known as O'Sullivan's Cascade, which
pours down a rocky wooded glen between the
Toomies. Soon after 4, Lord and Lady Castlerosse
and family came upon the water, and on the first
glimpse in the distance of the well-known barge,
every boat on the lake assembled to meet it, and
gave his Lordship a reception which was inferior in
warmth and vehemence only to that afterwards ac-
corded to the Queen. There is no peer or landlord in
all Ireland who is more popular than his Lordship,
not alone among his own tenantry, but among the
people of the whole district around the lakes.
The appearance of his Lordship was taken as a
certain omen that her Majesty would be present,
and that the hunt would take place after all, both
of which events had gradually come to be regarded
as improbable in the extreme. But all doubt on
this point was at last entirely set at rest by the
nephews of O'Connell, who assured every one that
there were at least three fine stags in the woods on
the Toomies, and that Her Majesty would positively
witness the hunt at 5. Unfortunately, only the
former part of the announcement proved to be quite
correct; Her Majesty came, and the hunt took
place, but nobody saw it at all. Stag hunts at
Killarney, under ordinary circumstances, are the
most wonderfully exciting and beautiful scenes of
the kind that can ever be witnessed, and the only
misfortune is that they are rare in the extreme.
Now, had Mr. Herbert or Lord Castlerosse wished
a staghunt on any ordinary day, and laid on Mr.
O'Connell's fine pack of hounds in the Toomies
woods, they would have driven a stag into the
water beyond all doubt. But in the case of a Royal
staghunt so many precautions were taken that they
spoilt the whole affair, and, as far as the Queen or
visitors could tell, there was for them no staghunt
at all. The woods of the Toomies are crowded with
red deer, which go about in herds among the moun-
tains of Killarney, in ten times greater abundance
than in any part of the Scottish Highlands, not even
excepting the well kept Royal preserves of Aber-
geldie. But the crowds of boats and fireworks on
the lake during the last few days had rather startled
these herds, so that in order to insure the presence
of at least one animal, an extra number of beaters
were employed to keep them in. the woods, after
coming down to the lake to drink. The result was,
that instead of one a great many apparently were
thus detained, and when the hunt began on shore
the hounds broke up after different quarries, and.
could not succeed in driving one into the wcater until
after Her Majesty had left the lakes to return to
Muckross. The immense crowd of boats also no
doubt had its effect in keeping the deer back, and
most unquestionably the tremenitous cheers which
followed Her Majesty whenever her barge attemp-
ted to keep up with the chase did much to spoil the
day's sport. Of course tb.el cheers were in the
highest degree enthusiastic. 'and loyal, but on such
an occasion they were 'scarcely perhaps quite judi-
cious or well timr,a.
Her Majest-f, with all the Royal family, except-
ing his RoTAI Highness the Prince of Wales and
Prince A.ifred, were upon the water soon after 5.
They were seated in Mr. Herbert's barge, which
Mr. Herbert steered himself. Darting along like an
arrow in front of the Royal barge were the Prince of
Willies and his sailor brethren in a beautiful six-
°wad gig, rowed by a crew of gentlemen. The heir

the skill
with which he guided its rapid course through the
eteeve_d of other boats that thronged around her Ma-
jesty from all directions showed a dexterity in boat-
ing that, evening allowing for his careful teaching,
was something surprising. Nineteen out of twenty of
the people on the water did not recognise: their
Royal Highnesses for some time, and as each boat
had to take care of itself, and as no one was particu-
lorly careful about anything or anybody, it required
no ordinary amount of adroitness on the part of the
Prince to avoid some awkward collisions. The accla-
mations with which her Majesty was greeted were
perfecty enthusiastic. All the boats' crews " tossed
passengers stood up uncovered, cheer-
oars,": all the
ing and waving handkerchiefs till the echoes of
Killarney were woke in all directions with beautiful
acoustic effect certainly, but; as it turnedl oat, with
unfortunate results as tegarth d the intended hunt.
Nor was the enthusiasm 'confined only to the arrival
of her Majesty. Wherever her boat moved the eflm,
hearty uproarious, kindly recognition followed her
throughout the day. Her Majesty seemed delighted
with this welcome, for after passing down between
the long flotilla of boats she returned up the lake
again, and then passed down towards Benson's
Point, keeping close in shore along the base of the
Toomies, so that the people who had been waiting
at the water's edge all day could see her closely and
well. The kindness which her Majesty showed in this
last respect was a theme of praise among the people
everywhere. Even if her boat was in the very
centre of the lake it turned at once close in shore
whenever it approached a rocky point on which
the peasantry were gathered, swarming in great
black masses wherever there was room to stand.

The hunt commenced soon after 5 o'clock, when
the shouts of the beaters on the hills came 'echoing
shrilly down the lakes. The dogs were laid on and
their deep bay, as they struck the scent, soon told.
that they were on the track. But, unfortunately,
soon after Irialia—eqhttafralefirattitifiaseseasaasaa4:assres •
many tracks and many stags in the covert, for the
hounds were following in at least three distinct
parts of the mountains. Now and then they came
down close upon the edge of the water, but when on
these occasions her Majesty's boat crept nearer to
the shore such a cheer arose among the visitors as
most effectually prevented the deer taking the water
in that direction. Then the chase or chases would
take another course, winding up the mountains, till
the cries of the dogs could only be heard reverbe-
rating faintly, and the beaters could be discerned
through glasses waving their arms and shouting as
the deer headed up the hills towards them. For
nearly two hours this lasted, the excitement in-
creasifig as the stags could be heard making for the
lake, and falling rapidly to zero when the hunt
again turned inland. At last,when nearly '7 o'clock.,
her Majesty apparently gave up all hope of seeing
the deer, and the Royal party were steered direct
up the lakes for Muckross. In an instant all the
boats of visitors followed in the same direction, and
the coast thus left clear one of the stags at once
took the water, far down the lake, with half a score
of the dogs in full cry after him. Fortunately a boat
was near at hand, and by the crew of this the fugi-
tive animal was secured, blindfolded, bound, and
hauled into the boat. He was then taken across the
lake and turned adrift in another part of the moun-
tain. Another, lam told, escaped to the hills, and.
a third was overtaken by the dogs in the woods
and pulled down in a minute, but of these captures
and escapes none saw anything from the water.
On the return to Muckross, her Majesty passed
close to a group of rocks known as the " O'Done.-
hague's Cellar." These, in commemoration of her
visit, she christened Victoria Point, baptising them.
with a bottle of wine, as at a launch.
To-day the party remained in the grounds. of
Muckross till the time fixed for the departure., at
half-past 12. At that hour, escorted by a troop of
the Ist Royals, the Queen drove to the station in
an open carriage, Mr. Herbert and Lord Cas'tlerosse
riding on either side. There were great crowds all
along the route, who seemed quite " beside them-
selves," so vehement were their uproarious demon-
strations of loyalty. A guard of honour of the 18th
Royal Irish was drawn up in front of the station,
where a great number of ladies and gentlemen were
assembled to witness the departure.
Mr. Houghton (chairman), Mr. O'Connor, Lord
Moneurry, Mr. Morland, Mr. Ball, Mr. Pim, and
Mr. Madins (directors), received her Majesty and
conducted her and the Royal Family to the State
carriage. A most cordial leavetaking was tl en
exchanged between the Royal party and Lord and.
Lady Castlerosse and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, to
whom her Majesty again expressed her deep grati-
fication at her visit to Killarney. Just before one
o'clock the train left, amid a scene of almost inde-
scribable enthusiasm.
All the stations on the journey up were ti ironged
with visitors. At Mallow there was a g reat de-
monstration, and when the train stopped a "corps"
of young ladies, all dressed in white, presented
her Majesty with a number of splendid bouquets,
all of which were most graciously accepted. The
train reached Dublin before six o'clock, having
performed the distance from Killarney (1.86 miles)
in five hours and three minutes. During the
whole of the visit the most arnple information in
the way of news of all that was passing in Eng-
land was constantly forwarded to her Majesty by
the Magnetic Telegraph Company,
and for this
the Queen expressed her thanks before leaving,
through Mr. Haughton, the chairman of the
Railway Company. From the Kingsb ridge
station, her Majesty and the Royal Family drove
straight through Dublin to the Westland-row
terminus. Along the streets the crowds, of
course, were dense, and the enthusiasm some-
thing extraordinary—such as is rarely seen even
in England. It was the same along the stations to
Kingstown, and, if possible, still more strong at
Kingstown itself, where the embarkation at once
took place, under a Royal salute from the
vessels of war. The weather, though very fine, was
also very rough for a sea voyage, so that it is not
likely the Royal yacht will cross until the morning.
From Holyhead her Majesty and the Royal Family
will continue their journey direct to Balmoral.
The Prince of Wales only remains behind to con-
tinue his military duties at the Cnrragh. If her
Majesty is
as the Irish people are at its having been made,
only half as well pleased with her visit
Royal tours through Ireland will become as much
things of course each autumn as the journeys to
Osborne or Balmoral. There is not the least doubt
but that the Queen has been very much gratified
with her trip, and it is superfluous to say how much
it has pleased the Irish people.
DUBLIN, AUG. 30.
Her Majesty remained all last night on board the
yacht in Kingston harbour, and started this
morning, a's 5 o'clock, for Holyhead, which was
reached at a little before 9.
Her Majesty remained all night at Holyhead,
continuing her journey to Scotland this morning.
To-morrow morning she will arrive at Perth to
brearfast, resuming her progress so as to reach
Balmoral the same afternoon.

ARRIVAL OF TIER MAJESTY IN PERTH.

PERTH, AUG. 31.
The Queen arrived in this city at 7.5:: a.m. Her
Majesty partook of breakfast at the station, and.
Proceeded northwards at 8.34 a.m.
