correspondent states TINT new muskets and
rifles Of the best quality are now coming in
fast. The Government Will be in receipt offat
least one hundred and sixty thousand Of the
best quality Of arms in the next thirty days,
and by the LIST Of January all the manufacto-
RIGS in tile North will begin to deliver to the
Government, and afterwards will be able
to supply the wants OF the army Of the
United States If it WIS double its present num-

We have to thank Gen. Phelps Of Ship |
Island for one thing, though the obligation
is slight one. He has probably closedup |
the list Of Military Proclamations. Doubt /
less fcm this time out, We are to have no
more Of them, and surely we have had
surfeit. If the war was to be fought |
On paper; if the only" steel to steen Of the
fight was steclpens, enough has been done
in such direction, and our Commanders Of
Expeditions will hereafter be enjoined to
fall to work in some other way. This, if
nothing else, should prevail upon Govern
ment to establish policy, and that, one
and the same for the Potomac, the Depart
1ncnt Of tic West, and for the Gulf 1t
should not be left for each several leader to
establish his own principles Of action, and
that this never shonld have been allowed is
painfully evident from the records Of the
past campaign. What is wanted, and what
we should have had from these Generals,
would have been something entirely free
from the flavor Of their personal sympa-
tbies. Approaching that this was war for
the pezpetuity Of the Government, they
should have understood thst neither the
loyal people nor the rebels cared to know
50 much Of the personal views and private
opinions Of each commander. It was
equally silly for Sherman to send out his
sweet scented Pro-Slave,y billet dou1 from
Port Royal, and for Phelps to belabor the
inhabitants Of the "Southwest" with al
Anti-Slave1y lecture. It was unnecessary
for Gen, Halleck to hamper himself and his
policy by q betrayal Of old pro-slare1y
principles. Either and all Of these three
officers would have achieved much more
for the country by keeping 10 the strict line
Of military duty. The public mind has
been confused by contradictory proclama
tons, the Government has been stultified
while the cause Of The rebellion las founG
in them liberal fertilizer
Willing and desirous that an end Of thi!
evil should come, we are grateful to Gen
Phelps for having eliminated it. Pro
slavery and eeni-secession journals at th.
North would never hare confessed the dis
advantages and dangers of this course
while the decisions and proclamations tai
lied with their own sympathies they sec i
now in the strong light Of the Ship ISLAND

On war principles. Let Congress pass 81
act definitely instructing military officer
to leave their personal views to their ow1
private circles, and use every means to pu
an end to the rebellion. Let all the prop

FEELING OF TIE IRISH,

England's endless and needless oppres-
sion Of ireland bears fruit, even at this
distance from the scene Of tyranny and mis-
government. In the event Of the dcclara-
lion of war by Great Britain against the
United States, by reason Of the 11ason-Sli-
dell affair, or for any other reason which
will probably arise, the Irish Americans Of
this country will, to man, be found with
arms in their hands, the most thoroughly
loyal, enthusiastic and determined Of the
enemies that England will be called upon
to.mect. They have done much toward
swelling the armies now in the field for the
subjugatlon Of the South; but their exer-
tions are feeble compared with those which
they will put forth when their hereditary
oppressors are a7ayed in arms against the
Government which shelters and protects
all men alike, without distinction Of race
or faith. If VIC must fight, let the Irish
Americans, commanded by an Irish officer
Of distinction, take tho Canadas under their
protection; and, our word for it, that, in 8
single campaign, there would not, outside
Of the Notifications Of Quebec, be single
British regiment left to oppose their pro-
gress or prevent the annexation Of those
Provinces to the United States. We COM

A gentleman from Missouri informs us that q
prominent Black Republican merchant in q certain
town in Illinois, remarked to him short time since,
that they had raised and sent of two companies
from that place, and hoped they never would come
back-that they were q set they had been anxious
to get rid of-loafers and vsgabouds, whose united
fleets wOuld not amount to two hundred dollars.
Oue of the principal motives which have prompted
the raising Of such large bodies Of troops at the
North has been to kill off the surplus laboring pop
ulation, thrown out Of employment by L:ncoln's
policy, and likely to becoEle 2 burthsn on the
wealthy classes. With true Yankee economy, these
cold Abolitoniss, too oowardy to risk their
own carcasses in this fgat, have concluded that
they would save money by iDcurring the expense Of
upiforming and equipping these poor devils, and
sending them South ''as food for powder" When
this class of the Northern population shall be ex
hausted, volunteers will become scarce. Marx our

County Court, in spprepristiDg twelve dollars pei
