We publish to-day an important article
from Smith O'Brien in relation to the er-
pected difficulties with England. 1t is said
that our Government has received important
advices from Ireland, going to show that
that country is ripe for revolution, and that
in the event Of war between England and
the United States she will not remain a
passive spectator, but make one more bold
stroke for the achievement Of her independ.
ence. There is no doubt but that the sons
of the screen Isle" all over the world SYM
pathze with the people OF the loyal States in
their efforts to put down the atrocious re-
bellion. The arrogant and clustering pre-
tensions of England have given fresh i'm
pulse to their sympsthies.
The letter of Mr.. O'Brien openly avows
his opinion that England wishes 10 extin-
guish great Commercial rival in this the
hour of its home trouble, and asserts his
opinion that she has no more sympathy
with the United States than she has for the
Chinese Government the humiliation of
both being equally a part Of her policy.
With view TO her disappointment in this
country, Mr.. OBrien recommends that every
effort should be made by our Government to
put an end to the rebellion at the South; and
then that America, again united, should take
her dangerous and unscrupulous foe in hand.
Mr.. o. Brien shows that his fellow. country
men in every portion Of America-aye, even
in the British army on the Canadian FROM
tier, will aid in protecting the asylum o.
their families, friends, and fellow. citizens
here, if needed, against English assault.

OlNClNNATIi Oec. 20 IoOL'
EDITORS DAILY PREss:-1 wish to make an
inquiry through your columns, which is of a
good deal of importance to many of the
citizens of Cincinnati. 1t is, simply: Why
does not the Quartermaster at Camp Denni-
son pay the men he has hired by the day,
who are building quarters for the soldiers2 1
will say that there are about three hundred
men employed there as carpenters and laborE
ers, at very low prices, who have not received
one cent for their labor since the lst of No.
vember. The Government is owing them
from $35 to $55, and they (many of them) are
actually suffering for the want of money, and
there is no assurance of our ever getting it.
We can not hear word that there is any
probability of our getting it for weeks, and,
for aught we know, for months The foremen
of the different gangs do not appear to take
any interest in trying to fnd out any thing
reliable for US, and this is the only way can
surmise for us to stir the matter up. There
is rumor among the men that the reason
the foremen are SO indifferent is, thct they
hare been paidl
By inserting this in your columns soon
you will confer favor on hundreds.

The following noble words (says Massa-'
chusetts paper) were spoken by private of
the Fourth Maine Regiment, who was
wounded and taken prisoner at Bull Run,
and has since died in a Richmond prison.
The occasion of their utterance was the last
meeting between him and his father, on the
eve of the formers departure for the seat of
war. "Father," said the young soldier,
whatever may happen to me, don't re-
proach yourself for conseating to my enlist
ment. You have done right in letting me

Thnse WHO Want NYnr.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun says that there are in England
several elements that favor war with this
country. The landed interest want high
price for corn, and the manufacturing inter-
est desire cheap and plentiful supply of
cotton. Besides, the Canadas want railways
and government expenditures, and covet the
acquisition of Portland harbor and that por-
ton of Maine through which the Grand
Trunk Railway passes. Then, again, the
present ministry has a watchfuI opposition,
led by Lord Derby, and popular clamor for
war could not be resisted.

A YANKEE TRICK.-C Captain Read, of the

the vessels, gives rather an amusing incident.
While in pursuiDf the steamer that event.

and he paid no attention to it. The larger
one, supposipg from this that the steamer
was Confederate, quietly pursued her
course, until very suddenly brought up all

When the latter ran alongside, the rebel
Captain was very prolific with curses, and
declared 'it was not 30 much the. losing Of

Some of the British papers say that their
Government will insist upon our delivering
up Mason and Sldell. It.
We remember, that in or about the year
1929, Cherokee Indian was arrested by the
authorities of Georgia upon the charge of
having committed a capital offense. A ques-
ton arose as to Georgia's Jurisdiction over
the case of the Indian, and it was taken by
bis counsel to the Supreme Court of the
United States. While the matter was pend
ing before the Supreme Court, Georgia de-
liberately proceeded to hang the Indian. The
Supreme Court decided subsequently that
Georgia had no jurisdiction in the case and
must surrender up the Indian, and we suppose
she had no objection whatever to this sur
render.
We mention this memorable case without
recommending that it be initiated by the
United States in the case Of Slidell and Ma
son.-Lomsville Journal.

An amusing bit of gossip is aAoat among
press men in London with reference to dis
tiDguished member of the profession. The
proprietor of leading penny paper, in an
tioipation of the abolition of the paper duty,
bound his editor, under heavy bend, not TO
contribute TO any daily paper except his
own. Shortly after the above contract was
entered into, daily organ reduced its price,
and soon it became q matter Of surprise to
the initiated that the first leading article in
each breathed the same spirit, and apparently
caught its tone from the same source. The
indignant proprietor summoned to his pres
ence his terror stricken editor, and charged
him with the breach of contract whereupon
the editor, stammering out denial OF the
charge, explained that his wife and he were
in the habit ofsholding curtain lectures on
important subjects, and that, 10 his surprise
and delight, he discovered marked unani-
nifty between them on these matters. OF
course, he could not restrain his wife from
committing her thoughts to paper.

The way the Government is swindled in
lumber contracts is thus exposed by the
Chicago Tribune:
A Government Qusrtermsster or his agent
goes to a lumber dealer and purchases 80,-
600 feet of stuff at So rs per thousand and
insists on haviy & the bill made out at 50 per
thousand. He goes to another dealer and
buys 100, 600 feet at So so, and has it billed
at 50 so. From a third lumberman he OBJ
tairs $4,000 feet at SO so, and has it billed at
$40 rs, and so on to the extent of his trans.
actions. When the sellers object to this
mode of doing business, he tells one ''it is
all right" another that the difference is the
commission allowed to him; he tells a third
that he has a contract to deliver at Cairo a
certain quantity of lumber at fixed price,
and that the difference between the cost
price and the billed price constitutes his
profits. To another he tells some other story,

German physicians keep no accounts.
They receive an acknowledgment of their
sent, they say nothing. The law requires
that for every visit OF a physician he shall
receive no less than II cents. This is the
lowest amount that is ever paid, and this is
very seldom enforced. Some families, in
comfortable circumstances, never pay any
thing for medical services; which they fire.
quently receive. The physician prefers be-
ing defrauded Of his dues, TO the obloquy q
law process brings upon him. It is an in
convenient custom both for patient and doc
tor. The patient, no matter how i'll, must

barrassed when settlement is made. ar

General scott,s Health.

A gentleman who was on board the Arago
with General Scott, writes that his health
had greatly improved before the arrival out
of the steamer. What has been called the
drOpsical swelling in the legs so much sub

General came on deck with little apparent
difficulty. He had but one attack of yer.

General PheIpe,

1t is said that General Phelps, who has
attained such sudden notoriety by his recent
remarkable proclamation, has in former years
been subject to occasional fits of insanity.
He is said to be an excellent soldier. He is,
we believe, native of Vermont, was gradu-
ated at West Point, and has served many
years in the army in the Southern Svatesand
elsewhere. In the Mexican War, as Cap
tain, he distinguished himself by his bravery,
and won commendation from General Scott.
He has through his life been noted for his
oddities. In that point his reputation is
maintained now.

THl latest dodge is reported by the Paw
tueket Gazette. Some Irishwomen searched
the market for very large chicken, and on
being shown sne asked if It would hold

and the flask being produced, he satisfied
them that it would. That was the chicken
they wanted. The women fiaally admitted
that they were going to eSok the chicken,

SULPHUR R-Alabama is perfect mountain

SULPHUR Alabama is a perfect mountain
of mineral wealth, and future wants and de-

sidered too poor to invite capital, a perfect
Eden full of fruits, and flowers, and mineral
springs, and healthy society. An immense
bed of sulphuret of iron and copper. fourteen
feet thick exists at Boudon, Talladega
County. The works turn out from three
to four hundred weight of sulphur daily.

may well feel proud Of: the development of
our capacity to be independent of the North,

the communication of important hints from

effect have already been put in circulation
