Great Mass Meeting at Dublin.

great mass meeting was held at the Ro-
tunda at Dublin to take into consideration the
aspect and position of Irish national affairs at
the present crisis. The following resolutions
were passed:
. Resolvsd, That the population Of the Repub-
lie, from the ST. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mex
leo, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, being
largely composed Of men Of Irish birth and
blood, it would be unnstural to suppose that
Irelend could remain an Indifferent spectator
between England and America.
Resolped, That the events Of the hour i'm
peratively dictate to all Irishmen forgetful
mess Of the past differences, and united rally
for the old cause of their country.
Resolued, That chairman, two secretaries
and a committee of twenty. one members, each
having been duly and separately proposed and
seconded, be chosen By q majority of voices at
the mass meeting, TO take into consideration
the sdvisability Of an organization in the
present state of affairs at home and abroad.
The Liverpool Post says the whole purpose
of the meeting was to express, on every variety
of phase, sympathy with America. II was
quite natural that this should be the tendency
Of the Irish, even apart from their hatred to
England, for scarcely any Irish family is un
represented in the United States. The meet
ing, however, was useless aud needless.

mac Rebel POLICY IN Kentucl,r.

The Bowling Green correspondent of the
Nashville Union and American, writing on
the 10th, says:
The war policy to be pursued by the Con-
federates occupying this portion Of the
State is an enigma the solution of which
can not be easily arrived at. The latest
movement but one that has been made since
the return of Breckinridge's brigade from
Russellville was that of Saturday last,
when the same command moved from their
old camping ground to a woods distant about
three miles from town, where trees are be-
ing felled, huts erected and every thing
necessary for the establishment of comfort
able winter quarters being prepared.
General Hindman's legion, together with
two additional regiments detached from
Hardee's division, were ordered to Green
River yesterday, and will probably occupy
the same position near Mumfordsville as
that held by the Kentucky brigade upon the
advent of Confederate troops into the State
over three months since. The public al
large can as readily and with as much ac-
curacy arrive at probale conclusion of the
meaning of two columns of a portion of the
army moving in different directions, one
evidently making arrangements for remain

they will undoubtedly remain during the

Federal advance is to be made upon it, thu

Actiop of the Baltimore Ranks.

A meeting Of the Presidents of the several
Baltimore banks was held in that city on the
18th inst. A proposition was submitted that
the Baltimore banks should abolish the specie
basis OF settling their balances, and fall back
on the credit and interest system. The pro-
position was strongly opposed and defeated.
r = 1t appears that the banks OF Baltimore,
ever since the suspension of specie payments,
have regularly settled their balances every
day, and all differences are promptly paid in
gold, which is the basis of their operations,
and by which means they have always stood
well in the Clearing. house, while they have
suffered no inconvenience for a sufficiency oI
coin TO supply all needful demands.
II was understood at the meeting that
whatever course may be pursued by the New
York banks, the Baltimore banks will main
tain their integrity, and continue to work or

stance shall compel them to depart from the
rule, of which there is no present proba.
bility. By working on the specie basis, the
paper issues have worked up to the coiI
standard, and they are now in a healthfu
condition.
Some of the banks have issued no small
notes, but have preferred to use specie fol

The New ConRreHe Rncketn.

We have already referred to Major Barry's
Rocket Battalion, now at Washington, en-
listed in New York State. The following is
interesting, as describing their remarkable
armament more in detail. constituting it one
of the most formidable engines of war;
Each battery comprises four rocket guns
and four caissons. The guns are of very PEE
culiar construction, formed in sections which
may be detached or united with the greatest
ease. Each section consists of two rings or
collars, to which are attached the ends of
iron bars, spirally twisted, and the whole
forming tube. Three of these tubes united
comprise the gun. No carriage is used, but
in its place a stand, on which the gun may
be elevated or depressed. This stand is light
and portable; easily carried by one man, The
gun is breech. loading, and no charge need
be used except that contained in the missile
| itself 0ef ...F. ..y.t.g. .---...
The rocket is of very complex construc-
tion, made in long tubes. The largest are
thirty-two inches in length. There are
many sizes and various descriptions. The
| tubes have three or four chambers or COM
partments. The posterior chamber contains
| the powder which acts as the propellinp
agent. The others contain the explosive
mixture, and fuse is so arranged as to keep
up the rotary motion communicated by the
spiral barrel, and at the same time to increase
the velocity of the projectile. The rocket
may be used as fire ball, a percussion car
or bomb shell.
The range of the rocket is from five hun,
dred yards to FIVE thousand three hundred
yayds, according to size and power The
smallest rocket weighs ten pounds and The
largest two hundred pounds. With the two
hundTed-pound rocket o mark no larger thar

MIIItary Movemsn1s in KentucI.y.

A gentleman who left Somerset, Ky.7 on
Thursday last, says that Zollicoffer, with six
thousand men, had thrown up Notifications
this side the Cumberland, about ten miles
above the point at which he crossed, and six
miles frem Somerset. At the crossing place
below there were two thousand rebels, on
the south side, guarding the boats. 1t took
Zollicoffer four days to get his six thousand
men across. The ferries are, therefore, not
extensive, and in case of fight and defeat,
he could not recross with the Federal troops
at his heels. General Schoepff marched out
Of Somerset yesterday morning with three
Ohio regiments and two Tennessee regi-
ment, four companies of Hoskin's Regiment,
and battery. The Thirty eighth Ohio,
with one battery, remained in Somerset. II
was the object OF General Schoepf to draw
out Zollicoffer and fight him. He would not
attack the fortifcation. If the enemy re-
fused to come out, his camp would probably
be shelled from the opposite eide OF the
river. This would be practicable. Our in
formant says the two thousand men left
below to guard the boats could not, owing TO
the impossible character of The Intervening
ground interfere with the crossing or work.
ing of our artillery. If reinfSrcements
should arrive from London, Zollicotfer would
be bagged, and, in any event, he is regarded
as in q critical position. A fight may have
taken place on Wednesday. General Schoeph
was confident of success. He had altogether
six thousand men and two batteries.-Lou-

SOUTHERN ITEMS.

We find these items in late Southern pa
peIs. The Savannah Republican says:
On Our FEET.-A circumstance, apps-
rently Providential, has occurred within the
past few days, which, properly improved by
the Government at Richmond, will enable
the States of Georgia and South Carolina to
take care of themselves without assistance
from any other quarter. AT future day il
will come to light, but present policy is to
leave the enemy to find it out, which they
will do when they leave their safety retreats
on the coast.
Ifthere ever was cause that had the
smiles OF Heaven, it is ours. The Good One
seems inclined to aid US, in spite of our
selves. ~ r -.r r-fsr.

The London Times on the Washing

The London Tines city article says il must
be kept in view that the designs of Mr.. Sc.

the cause Of disagreement in the Washington
Cabinet, and that the decision of the present
question, therefore, is not entirely in the
bands of that parsonage. Later adVices are
awaited for with great anxiety, as it is seen
that the course of circumstances may be much
modified by ything that may take place be-
tween the opposing armies in the interval from
now and the arrival OF the British demands.

Particulars of the Recapture of the
Notorious Col. MagOfin, OF George.

OTTEkvILLE, Mo, Sunday, December 20.
I learsed yesterday that among the prisoners
taken by General Pope last Thursday, was the
notorious Colonel Magofin, Of Gsorgeto wn,
Missouri. About two weeks ago Colonel Ma
coffin sent word to the commanding officer that
his wife was dangerously ill, and begged to be
formed that If he would give his parole as q
prisoner of war his request would bs granted.
de did 20 and went homo, and the nexc that
was heard of him was that he comm anded the
whole force which defended the bridge that
Colonel Davis carried by assault. That he
fed with his party, and was not taken until
after the rest of the rebel force had surrend
cred, and in consequence of the dsrkoess of
the night he was not recognized until the next
morning.
1t seems that Colonel MagoHin, having visit.
ed his home and arranged his affairs, sent a
mes sengor recalling his parole; but instead of
turrer dering himself, as officers usually do, he
left, and before this messenger reached Sedalia
was in the rebel army and when the fight
came on, feeling that he deserved and would
probably receive different treatment from thoss
who had not forfeited all right to be treated as
prisoners Of war, fought desperately, but un-
availipgly. General Pope refused to accept
bis parole, and ordered him to be placed in
confinement, until General Halsck decided
what disposition to make Of him. He is one
of the most desperate and unserupulOus Of the
marauders in this section, and it is to be hoped
that ne will receive the punishment his crims
deEerve.
