A Letter worth Reading.

We will back the following piece of
composition against anything ever pro-
duced. It was written half a century
ago by Sir Boyle Roche, member of
the Irish Parliament in the troublous
times of 49," when a handful of Wexford
men struck terror into the hearts of many
gallant sons of Mars, as the worthy wri-
ter himself It was addressed to friend
in London.
Ny Dear SIR Having now little
peace and quietness, I sit down to inform
you of the dreadful hustle and confusion
we are all in from these bloodthirsty reb-
els, most Of whom are, thank God! killed
and dispersed. We are in pretty muss,
can get nothing to eat, ror wine to drink,
except whiskey and when we sit down to
dinner we are obliged to keep both hands
armed. Whilst write this, I hold sword
in each hand and pistol in the other.
concluded fr ON the beginning this would
be the end of it; and sec was right, for
it is not half over yet. At present there
are such things going on that everything
stands still. l should have answered
your letter a fortnight ago, but did not
receive it till this morning. Indeed
scarcely mail arrives safe without being
robbed. No longer ago than yesterday,
the coach with the mails from Dublin
was robbed near this town; the bags had
been judiciously left behind for fear oc ac-
cidcnt, and by good luck there was nobo-
dy in it but two outside passengers, who
had nothing for the thieves to take. Last
Thursday notice was given that gang of
rebels were advancing here under the
French standard but they had no colors,
and no drums except bagpipes. Imme-
diately-every man in the place, inclu-
ding the women and childrnn-ran out to
meet them. We soon found our force
,snuch too little; we were too near to
think of retreating. Death was in every
face, but to it VIC went, and, by the time
half of our little party were killed, we be-
gan to be all alive again. Fortunately
the rebels had no guns, except pistols and
pixies, and as we had plenty of muskets
and ammunition, we put them all to the
sword. Not soul of them escaped, ex-
cept those that were drowned in an ada
cent bog; and in very short time moth
ing was to be heard but silence. Their
uniforms were all different colors, but
mostly green. After the action we went
to rummago a sort of camp, which they
left behind them. All we found was a
few pixies without heads, parcel of emp
ty bottles full of water, and bundle OF
French commissions filled with Irish
names. Troops are now stationed all
around the country, which exactly squares
with my ideas. | have only time to add
that | am in great haste.
P. ST you do not receive this, OF
course it must have been miscarred
therefore l beg you to write and to let
me know.

THE WAR.

Last week, we said that the odds
were against us on the battle, field.
In fact, the Southern army has in.
licted a terrible blow upon US in
Virginia. 1t cannot be denied that
we have been dreadfully beaten,
cut up, and humbled. We want
and greatly need a man in our ar
my, o man who could break down
and crush a "Stone wall" Where
is the man that can do it? In al
parts of the States, we are being
whipped, but we must not forget
that the Waterman saith, "Tht
morning cometh;" and the prophet
saith, "In evening time it shall be
light" Let US hope.

In consequence Of the cxtraordi-

we are BUNDLED, mortified, and
Sorely vexcd, and cannot publish

as well as other mechanics, have
either gone to the war, or are pre-

PEELED to publish half q sheet. We
cannot help it. Our readers must,
therefore, bear with US, and take
what we, by working all day and
all night, can prepare for them.
We hope that 'Stone-walr jackson
will soon be caught, and brought
to us to be tried; and # he should,

shall be condemned, and hung on
