The last promulgated act of the rebel Con-

tanning tie instruction, authorizes the issue of
500 COS, 900 in Treasury notes, in denomina-
tioas OF - aud upward, aud in such Install
meuts as the public reed may dictate. These
notes bear a somewhat indefinite date of r..
dempto ON. viz: Six months after the ratiiica-
% ton of treaty of peace between The Con-
lelerate States and the United States"
They are To be received in payment OF the
war tax, crcfyt Tie export dHiy on cotton.
Along with the issue OF these notes, Mr.
Da,is's Secretary is authorized TO issue another

4 deeply significant display Of Irish sentiment,
applicable TO the war crisis, las just leen made
in the Cts Of Montreal. The facts may be
briefly stated. Our readers are aware that n
secretly ISSUED order from the Militia head
quarters OF tle Province has called FOR The m-
mediate enrolment Of 20 men from each o. the
800 battalons Of Upper and LoHcr Canada
In accordance with this order, t.e Coionels
commanding in the ya.ious districts have set
about the task of drafting with the zeal becom-
ing their position. Cooperating with these Off
cials, various associations have been formed to
augment the forces by the less pcrfunctOry
labor Of volunteering.
An attempt made the other day by Mr..
Darcy McGec and one or two recently con-
ycrted loyasts TO form one Of these associa-
tons in Montreal was the occasion for the
ebulIition Of sentiments which We deem 30
noteworthy and significant. The hall in which
the Irisbmcn assembled, we ere told, was wen
filed. and the President Of tue 81. Patrick's
Society was called TO the chair by portion
Of the audience, the remainder indulging in
loud aud unsecmly kissing. The Presidents
appeal TO tie Irisbmen 10 "rally," WIS met
by the question, "To deiond hs fog Of En-
" GLAND ?" mingled with such expressions as
''You wish to be Colonel yourself, doyoul" And
bis next appeal TO bis countg, meu to defend
the land OF their adoption was met by another
interruption reminding him that it is not the
Iii. fat ,,t Brsp
Dent pointed out the privileges Irisb,nen enjoy
in Canada, a refractory portion Of the audience
suggests TO hn-he may thank the United
Suites for that. At length the unfortunate
ChairIaan i, compelled to subside; and in order
to moiy the audience and inspire, if possible,
more loyal feeling into the company, Dir.
McGee is brought forward. His appearance
Is fignazed first by tbree rousing cheers for
the United States-secondcd by three more
eoually enthusiastic cheers for Thomas Francis
Meapher d threat from Mr.. Mctec that he
would speak 10 the reporters il such
iu,erruptons continued, seems TO have produced
Il momenfary lull ia the audience. The speaker,
however. proceeds but short way, when bis
progress is again arrested by three cheers for
brother Of Mr.. McGee's, who, according TO
bis own admission, Is n captain in the Union
army. The cheers for Capt. Niece nre suc-
cecoed by three more for Col. C0rcoran-cre-

regular intervals "cheers for Meagher," and
such sentiments as this, "the Stars and Stripes
" will rule when you ere dead" with others
equally appropriate to the occasion, and consol-
ing to the loyal originators Of the association
The resolutions offered TO the meeting promising
Irish support to the British Government are
said TO have been passed by Q majority; but
the Tory who reports the proceedings IS com
pelled to admit the force and yigor of the
opposition, and tie unbounded enthusiasm
which greeied the mention Of such names as
Neagbcr and Corcoran.
To this it should be added that the Irish
Catholic population of tbe two provinces is
nearly 600, 600 in number--nO inconsiderable
proportion Of the whole inhabitants. 1t should
also be noted that Mr.. McGee is the repre-
sentative of the people be attempted to convert
to his uewly-adopted principles. aud bis infn-
ence with hi, constituents has heretofore been

Letter Of Rev. ]. n. M,PerTin,

To the exclusion of other matter, which had been
prepared, we have the pleasure of publishing this
morning letter from Rev J B. M'FERRN on the
division of the Methodist Church in 1874. In con-
nection with the present controversy between the
AbOitionsts of the North and the South it will be
found deeply interesting and instructive 1t is a
lesson which has already sank deep into the hearts
of thinking men, and teaches, with great force
the Overwhelming nature of Abolition fanat
cism, which did not scruple to sunder forever one
of the most powerful useful and energetic Chris
tan churches in the world did not scruple through
blind and phrenzied Imadness TO essay to cut of
religious teaching from the four millions of negroes
in the Southern States, which must inevitably have
been the case had they succeeded in thrustng their
diabolical and unchristian tenets upon the church
South But the plain narrative of Mr.. M'FERRIN
will speak for itself, and viii serve to refresh
the memories Of all who have lost sight Of this
important chapter Of anti-slayery fanaticisr1.

Ri the preachers had any influence in producing
the present troubles Of the nction it was Northern
and not Southern preachers.
The case Of the Methodist Church was about
equal to this Suppose Mr. Bell or Mr.. Brecklnridge
had been CHECKED by the popular vote on tiie oth OF
November last and suppose the electoral votes had
been cast for of these distinguished gent emen
and he had gone to Washington on the 4Ih OF March
for Inauguration. and suppose the congress OF the
United States had, by overwhelming vote, deter
mined that it was inexpedent for MN If take his
seat and administer the affairs OF the government,
because of his connection with slavery. Would this
be cause for division? leave you TO answer.
