Death of an Irish Patriot,


TERENCE BELLEw McMAxus, the Irish
Patriot Exile of Is, died At st MARY's
Hospital. san Francisco, California, on the
18th of January last
According to the New York Irish
41merie,,n, Mr.. MUMAxrs was in his fiftieth
year, and, We believe, a native of Mona
CHAN. At the time Of the Revolutionary
uprising in Europe, in ls47 As. he was a
merchant 10 Liverpool, engaged in the
commission and forwarding trade, and rap
idly advancing in prosperity. Ia the
Southern districts of Ireland especially,
whore he had been for several years the
principal travelling agent Of the great Eng
Iish house Of Pickford, he was universally
popular; and his prospects in a business
light were in the highest degree fla.tering.
He was but just entering upon what prom
Used to be brilliant and successful mer-
camille career when his warm, inpulsve
nature and enthusiastic love of country
drew him into the struggle for Irish Indie
pendence; and, without thought. for self
or regret for all that he was sacrificing,
be cast himself into the movement that
appeared to promise national resurrec.
ton for his beloved Fatherland. What
boots i: now to refer to the disastrous re-
suit, too frequently and idly par~1ed be-
fore the public gaze. To him i, brought
only defeat, captivity, and the exile's grave
in strange land.
With the events which succeeded Mr..
McMANus' escape from Van Diemen's
Land, and his arrival in California in l S51,
our readers are already acquainted. IIav-
ing, by the advics of several wealthy Irish
Americans resident in California, engaged
in tie commission business in San Franz
cisco, he continued in trade, with more or
less success, up to a recent period, varied
only 10y one or two visits which he made
to the mining regions. Latterl- he has
been engaged upon the San Francisco Dai-
y Herald, with Which paper he was, we
believe, connected at the time of his death.
Human nature is never unleayened bv
weaknesses; and poor McMASUs was no
exception to the rule. He had bis fai,ings;
but they were severely atoned for; and
his countrymsn, who received only the
impress Of his virtues and patriotism, can
well afford now to let his faults sink unre-
proved into his lonely grave by the far
Pacific strand. Brave and fearless as q
lion, his nature was gentle and compassion
ate as a child's; his hear. was filled with
love for his native land strong as that of
a mother for her first born. In the light
Of that love for which he dared and suffer
ed SO much let his memory only be re-
called. His lowly grave needs no other
epitaph than that which DAVIS claimed for

Scenes in the New York Convention.
The Albany AAas and Aryss, speaking
of the recent Democratic Convention in
that State, says-scme Of the scenes, tho
spontaneous and unprecedented, were
striking and even dramatic in Their effect.
Attorney General TEEnaIs spoke in the
morning session with extraordinary force
and eloquenee, taking ground against CO.

Of the fanatics who rhargetreason against
all who oppose the resort to arms.
AIS was followed by the eloquent
ThArER in strain Of impassioned and pa
triotic oratory, taking the same high
ground, and repeating the same gallant de
fance. TILDEN, of New York, then ad-
dressed the Convention In a phi!o,ophlc
argument, which impressed itself deeply
upon the minds of those present.
"When the resolutions were read dep
recating Civil War, the venerable Chan

Clicked by his own emotions, the Judge
was compelled to desist; when a young
man rose on one Of the back benches, and
in voice of deep sensibility, told how, tho
he lived in New York and his destiny was
here, he had father in Virginia, an old
man, like the Chancellor; he had sisters
there when he broke down with his
emotions. An audience Of bearded men
listened to this in tears; and there was a
moment of silence. 1t was broken by a
voice crying out, three cheers for Virsi

New York, Feb. G

New York, Feb. 6.
The Steamer Marion, from Charleston.
arrived to day. Among the passengers
are twenty wives of the soldiers of For,
Sumpter, and seventeen children, who suf-
fered very severely from sea sickness dur
ing the trip. They represent the garrison
at Fort Sumpter as in excellent health, not
single soldier being on the sick list
The strongest union feeling pervaded the
company, and they look forward to an at
tack with confidence in their strength and
ability to Hpel an assault. There are
seventy five soldiers and thirty laborers, all
of whom are now busy mounting heavy
Columoiads for thu ramparts, and in the
fortress yards. The majority of the sol
Giers are of foreign birth, about half of
them being Irish and large number Of
Germans. The garrison is now supplied
daily with fresh meat and provisions Of
all kinds from Charleston, although only
enough is brought in for days use. The
supply of sailed meats and camp rations
is ample for long siege. No reinforce
ments had been received when the Marion
left, and from Capt. Adkins statements it
would appear that great difficulties would
be met in entering the harbor at Charles
ton with reinforcenents or supplies.
The Charleston volunteers are drilling
daily and they with the aid of laborers,
are placing Moultrie, and other forts in
the hest state Of defence. There are about
5000 soldiers now in entertainments, and
their number is constantly augmented by
arrivals from tho interior of the State. 1t
is represented that whatever work is done
in the way of rendering Fort MouItrie Ca
pable of repelling attack, she cannot be
made to command Sump.er in any event,
or be able to damage that Fort by her can
nonade.
The wives and children will leave the
Marion at o'clock this L. M, on their
way to Fort Hamilton where they will re-
main for the remainder Of the winter. -
They are in good spirits, and seem to think

Atkinson, Feb. 6.
Mr.. A. A. Jerome, of Irving, Marshal
county, so miles from Atkinson, says tina,
the cattle and hogs in his neighborhood
are actually near starving. The inhabi
tants are nearly destitute Of food, and
must perish unless relief is Immediately
afforded. The desperation Of despair is
selling upon them. Their teams are civ
ing out, are too weak to make their way
through the snow, and some have been
three weeks in trying to get from the Re
publican Forks to Atkinson and have
turned back disheartened.
The population Of Lasale county i:
about 5000.
Mr.. Jerald has hurried to Atkinson
with all possible dispatch, fearing that the
people on the Little Blue will suffer from
hunger before he can get back with sup.
plies.
The condition Of roads in that region is
now so bad that only about ten miles day
can be travelled.

For the Manito,coc Pilot.
The Lodge of Good Templars.

Editor of tie Ptiot-SIR.- Permit a
subscriber to occupy small space in your
paper, for the purpose Of exposing a wrong
committed by selfcons,ituted tribunal,
that hold meetings during the dark hours
of night, unseen 10y men that labor while
the day lasts. for the benefit OF their race.
We refer to the Lodge OF Good TEMPS
lars, whose boast is that they and they
alone are the conservators OF public NOR
ais, and that their Lodge possesses the
only antidote against drunkenness and de-
bauch. We do not oppose reform, but we
do feel opposition to acts committed in
the dark, that would cause blush to
mantle the face of man of decent con.
captions, when brought forth to the light.
What kind of men and women is this
reforming Lodge composed Of that possess
and fellowship with members, who with
out the consent Of those that have no
connection with lis business, bring in the
name of persons under the pretence that
they were DESTROYS to unite with the
Lodge. Now, this course has been pur,
sued, and names have been presented, and
used, in this Lodge, contrary to the wishes
and without the consent Of the lawful
owner. We do not charge that those who
have presented names in this way, have
been guided by evil designs, but have al
lowed their kind feeling to mislead their
judgment, and subject those they would
befriend, to insult and the qualification of
private malice.
This 10, we are aware, a grave charge
against an order claiming to be the con>
SENATORS of public morals, but it is true,
and we regret the necessity that compels
its exposures. No longer ago than last
Monday evening, petty malice was exhib-
tied, and men rejected, whose names were
thus introduced by men chat cannot fail to
feel their power to do good, is small, in.
deed, when it may be overruled by men,
dacity and indicative hate It is truly
sickenins to know that men claiming to be
led by the spiri. of God, show that their
faith is SO weak in the power Of God to
save them from drunkenness and debauch
have to flee to this worldly constituted
association for safety, and patiently submit
to the declaration that those they would
befriend, ARE quite too low to make up any
part of a Good Templars Lodge.
AT this time we have not time to attend
to these conservators, but shall do them
justice at more leisure moment, with no
other motive than to benefit this communi-
,y with a sincere hope that good men will
reflect, and learn that they have fallen into
the wrong box to do good by reforming
the erring sons and daughters of earth
To such, we would give adv;ce-if you
cannot reform those you have joined, Do
like righteous LoT, flee to the mountains,
and not look beLird.

COMING TO THEIR SESsEs.-The Re7ub
licans of Wisconsin, like those of other
Northern States, begin to see that the
South la not so much to blame, after all.
Intact, many Of them already acknowl-
edge that they were the first to nullify the
laws, and are repairing the injury done to
the Union as fast as could well be expect
ed from hem. The Judiciary Committee
Of our own Republican Senate has been
unanimously instructed by that body to
revise the law commonly known as the
personal liberty law 80 as to make it con-
form to the U. S. Constitution. Better
late than never.

Mr.. Lincoln on his Travels.

In another column we give the remark,
Of the President elect, at indianapolis,
Indiana, while on his way to Washington.
II will be seen that Mr.. LINCOLN does not
believe in coercing or forcing by war, the
seeding Sta les back into the Union, and
that on this point he takes Democratic
ground. Those Republican papers, like
the Tribune, for instance, who have been
bowling so loudly for coercion, will now
have to take back all their blood aud thun-
der talk against the South, if they wish to
procure any office under the new Admin,
istration, and tie quicker they do i. the
better.
There is not now doubt that Mr.. LIN
COLIN will shake off and condemn the old
Abolition portion of his party, and unite
himself with the Union or Democratic
element Of the country, in which case all
good Democrats and Union loving Repub>
licans will unite together in bis support,
and in putting down black Abolitiorism,
the destroyer Of our country's peace. The
friends Of saving the Union by peaeeablc
means are Mr.. LiSCoLN's friends. All
others are enemies. In which box shall

opposed coercion, of course our recon-
mendation for that and other offices will
