An ABLE AND ELOQUENT LETTER. We find in
the Charleston Mercury letter addressed by I.
W. Mac1Iahon to Thomas Francis Meagher, in
which he gives the latter terrible :" lambastngn
for fighting on the side of the Yankees. Both are
citizens of Irish-rbrth. Mr.. MacMahon concludes
his brilliant letter as follows:
Let me implore you to pause, sir. Do not i'm
brue your hands in the blood of those who wei
coined you shared with you their hospitalities, and
robed you in the garments of citizenship. At least
do not involve your fellow-countrymen in your
own error. Believe me, my heart beats with kind
ness and affection for you, and | write in sorrow
rather than in anger. You do not understand this
Southern Revolution. 1t is revolution unlike any
revolution Of hstory-itis is revolution of opinion
not the work of an individual or day, but the
natural growth of years, spontaneously sprnging
| from the almost unanimous desires OF the people
of the seeded States 1t is the resisting barrier OF
| ancient habits and rights, against the contagious
| aggressions of new aud Heterogeneous thoughts
| and actions, supported by unanmity of feeling
unexampled in the worlds history. And these
people, sir, can neither be crushed or defeated.
They will fight for their independence with Spartan
| valor and Attic fortitude. You may wage war
| of years against them, and beggar both sections
Of the country, but tell you, that so certain as
the sun shines at midday, the old Union will never
be restored. And, as final consequence, again
beg that you will recede from your false position
that you will not be instrumental in handing down
your own name or the names of any of our peo
pie, wreathed with the cypress of shame and
namy, to the pen of the future historian.
| am, sir, respectfully ,

Col, Hardee destroyed them to prevent their be-

QUARREL BETWEEN SEWARD AND LORD AY0Ns.-
The Charleston Mercury of the 23d publishes let
ter from Montgomery, dated the 20th, from which
we extract the following:
Letters from sources of unQuestionable integrity
were received yesterday in this city from Washing
ton, stating that the public of Washington was
very much agitated by an angry conference which
had taken place between Lord Lyons the British
Minister, and Seward, the Secretary Of State. The
facts, as stated, are as follows: Lord Lyons re-
ceived from the British Consul at Charleston a
statement of the circumstances under which the
British vessels mentioned in your paper were lately
prohibited from entering Charleston and ordered
off, in enforcement Of the paper blockade of the
Southern ports by the United States Lord Lyons
demanded that orders should be Immediately is
sued by the Government of the United States re-
scinding the paper blockade, so far as Great
Britain was concerned, and that the Government
of Great Britain would hold the Government of the
United States responsible for any losses the British
vessels lately ordered off shall sustain in conse-
quence Of the interruption Of their voyages. On
this an angry discussion took place. Lord Lyons
insisted that, if the Southern States were still a
part of the United States British vessels, by the
treaties with Great Britain, had right to enter
Southern ports and if they were not, then that
| paper blockade was contrary to the laws of ma
| tions. Seward begged that he might be allowed
to keep up the paper blockade until Congress met
! which the British Minister refused He then begged
| for three weeks, to which the British Minister re
| piled" not d day. and rose and lett him. lh
| NAV not be exactly the words OF the conversation
| but that conversation has taken place OF the pur
port stated, is undoubtedly believed in Washington

WORTHY OF RECoRD.--Hon. Edmund Burke, Of
Concord, N. H., at meeting recently called in
that city, for the purpose of raising funds for q
volunteer company, said
This war is war against our own brothers
There is no glory to be won in such a war. There
were both glory and honor to be won in war
against foreign enemy; but not in the miserable
business of butchering our own brothers.

THE DAYS OF CHIvAl.RY REvIvED.-The days OF
chivalry cannot boast of q more chivalrons act
than that Of Mr.. Jackson, Of the Marshall House,
who shot the notorious Col. Ellsworth, when taking
down the flag of the Confederate States from ms
hotel. Surrounded as he was by an nnprineiplea
and worthless mob, for it was nothing less !, ne

down down by ruthless hands, he could not resist the
onatyiote impulse to kill the vandal who would dare

patriotic heart, and the south with one accord gy'

PROMPT MOVEMENT The Louisiana Boys on TIE

comprising the Louisiana Guards and two other
companies, made hurried march on Sunday night
from their encampment, about a half o mile be-
yond the Fair Grounds, to Sewellis Point SO rer
Gently the scene of hostilities between our undn-
shed fertilization and the enemy's steamers. Thsg
definite orders for the movement were received 36
the camp short while before midnight, and iK
about five minutes time some four hundred meMs
were under arms and on the tramp for the Point.3
The night was clustering and tempestuous-a
heavy, drenching rain falling all the while-but the
brave lads from ''Dixie's Landn were anticipating
a brush with their hated foe, and did not realize
the discomfort Of the march until they arrived at
their destination and found that the enemy was

The battalion returned to camp again in the

A MISSISSIPPI PATRIoT.-The Atlanta Common
wealth reports the Hon. Howell Cobb's speech at
that place on the 22d, from which we take the fol
lowing statement made by him:
An aged man-whose grey hairs and totterine
limbs forbade his entering the ranks, and whose
children of the first and second generations were
in the ranks of his country's defenders-was asked
how much he would give to carry on the war. The
spirit of the old man rose up in him: Tell them,
he said, that nv yearly crop of 1000 bales the,
may have Only give me enough to sustain me
and let the balance go to my country - Offers @
this sort come pouring in upon the Government

facts upon reliable Information:

Scott promptly and Indignantly refused, declaring
that if thousands of children were to be buried, no
officer of the Virginia Army could visit Washing

Three rifle shots were fired at him, which caused
him to stop his progress, which was as rapid as
possible, by the aid of two oars, with which he
propelled the boat. He was soon arrested by the
