We publish 10 day, to the exclusion OF
much important matter. the famous letter
of O'Con"el to a committee of our citizens
who rshuked him for his anti slavery opin
ions. The document has been concealed
for twenty years by a we'll known Demo
crat, to whom He are indebted for it. We
invite our Irish Catholic brethren to read
it atrentively; and If aoy one wishes to see
the manuscript, which is beautifully writ
ten. and the signature of o Connel, they
can be accommodated st the a fice of the
Telegraph We eintend to have the letter pub
lshed in pamphlet form, and we respect
fully invite all friends of ths good Gauge
of liberty against bondage, TO aid US iu it's

Gen. Banks Operations.

The latest information from Gen. Banks
army would seem to leave no doubt that he
has, before this, occupied Opclousas. Indeed
q report from Memphis aft1rms that one of his
divisions had reached Point Coupcc, some
distance abo1e Opelousas, and also above Port
Hudson, On the opposite side Of the Mfssis-
ippi. Rebel dispatches also state that few
days previous to this arrival at Point Coupee
several vessels Of the Federal fleet touched at
tho Point, but subsequently, left. By WAY of
New Orleans we have full particulars Of =
movement which resulted In the establish
u,eut Of communication between Banks and
Fanagut, together with report that tho lat
Hudson had supplies for not over week, or
a fortnight at the outside, and that their force
did not exceed, ail told, Il, 900 men. In the
light Of these several statements it is by no
means unreasonable to suppose that the move
mcnt Of Gen. Banks contemplated as its final
reeult cooperation with the fleet In an at.
tack Oh Port Hudson.
But should tho ultimate object Of this expe.
dItion be the cutting-of the rebel supplies BY
way OF Red River, there would seem to be nc
reason to doubt tho accomplishment Of thai
end. The rebel force does not appear to have
been able, Ut any point, to stand before the
twenty-five thousand men in Banks command
aud, driven from their fortified positions, 1t /:
not likely that in the open country beyond
they could offer any cdtetual resistance to Ais
advance. Once upon the Red River the rebel
| granary would practically be in our position
and the enemy both ut Ficksburg and Por
Hudson would be inevitably subjected tt
most unpleasant consequences, If not indeei
t to the NECESSITY Of abandoning their most i'm
| portant strongholds.
| The parish Of st. Landry, OF which Genera
Banks was, at last accounts, in possession, i
| one Of the largest in Louisiana, having pop
ulation Of some twenty-three thousand, Q
! whom twelve thousand are slaves. Nearly al
Of these latter will prove valuable auxiiarie
Of our troops; and we're no other result t.

Dispatches have been received hore from
tho headquarters Of the Indian Brigade, Fort
Gibson, c. n, ria Fayetteville, un1cr date Of
27th. Colonel Phillips telcgrarhs that he has
ordered Colonel Harrison TO move with tue
troops under his command from Fayetteville
to aildebrand's Mills, thirty-tive miles to the
west, in the Territory. This movement is
principally to recruit che stock.
The Enemy are reported to be eutrcnched
and in farcc ut Webbe.'s Falls, strong nat
ur2l position on the Grand Saline. sixteen
miles east Of Fort Gibson. Colonel Phillips
mored from nie latter place last night to at
tack; Our next dispatch will probably bring
intelligence Of tile engagement. The rebels
arc under command Of Generals Slot and
Ewing.
Col. Philips is strongly fortifyine Fort Glib
son, and will, within d week, have rendered
that post almost imprcgnahle.
Recruiting for the Fourth and Fifth Indian
regiments is progressing briskly, and If the
Colonel is allowed to maintain his position.
they will soon be full. Should he, however, be
ordered to fall back, not only will these reg1-
ments fail Of organization, but the refugee
loyal Indians viii again have to leave their
homes.
The rebels do not seem to be receiving nc
ccssions to their numbers, but are steadily
and actively recognizing tn cir forces.
Colonel Phillips reports important scouts to
Ozark, and Clarksville, Arkansas, and also
south of fhc riyer.

SATURDAY, MAY 2. 1868.


Senator Green, now under arrest by the
order Of Gen. Burnside, as disloyal and
dangerous man, denies in a card printed
herewith, that he is guilty Of what is urged
against him-especially denies that he Is
guilty Of what an informant Of the TRIBUNE
laid al his door. We hope that the Sens
tor is not mistaken; but rs the same men
tai infrmity which would inpel man Of
his condition and character to bctray his
country in IN hour Of peril. would also i'm
pei him to take upon himself the lesser
crime Of falschood, We hope that the Sen
ator may not be released until proper
inquiry is made into his case. And when
7vc demand Of the authorities that the in
quiry shall be speedy, We do not represent
bis wants, but the present necessities OF
the political party to which we belong.
Dir. Green is Senator in the General As
semb1y Of Illinois. He is the Copperhend
majority in that body; he being out Of the
Tay, the power Of his party would go for
naught, as in the event Of tic, the Lieu-
kCuaUt NOhG1uui, knE P4eSAaAAS oAatEf,
thoroughly and unquestionably loyal,
would vote with the Republicans on every
test question. Now, it is altogether i'm
portant that Mr.. Green should be tried be-
fore tile adjourned session Of the Legisla-
lure in the carly part Of June, to the end
that, if not guilty, he may be in position
10 take his seat. OF, that if guilty, the proofs
may not be wanting to. satisfy the people
Of this State that the allegation which will
be everywhere raised, that he is impris
ouea to serve partisan, not patriotic
purpose, may be rcfuted in advance. Thai
is a charge that must have no shadow 0!
proof; hence we are right when we implort
Gen. Burnside to see to it that the case i
disposed Of without moments unneces
say delay. Ofthe question Of guilt or in
noccnce, we say nothing. we ask only
for speedy justice.

DIR E.SsES.
The sermons and addresses which were
delivered in Bryan Hall, and in the various
UNCONVENTIONAL pulplts Of Chicago on
Thursday, were Of more than common
interest, and one or two of them we're
worthy Of far wider hearing and publ
cation, than they obtained yesterday
through the city newspapers. A spirit Of
earuestness and sincerity marks cTery
line Of these performances; and we can
see that they sprang from the deepest
depths Of solemn souls, aud patriotic
hearta
It was no ordinary occasion which called
forth these eloquent bursts Of religious
feeling, and lore and hope for Father-land.
1t was the day appointed by the Chief:
Magistrate Of the nation for fasting and
prayer, confession and humiliation- that
1t might please the Almighty, by these sup
plant acts Of his crring people to have
mercy upon us, and prosper the cause on
whose issues arc suspended tho destinies
OF the Commonwealth
Every man who spoke on this occasion
seemed to feel the immensity and grandeur
and the full responsibility Of his theme
There was mighty shaking amongst the
dry bones on that day, such as will moi
soon be forgotten, and may get bring forth
fruits meet for the noblest citizenship. The
Rev. Dr.T. n. Eddy, the Rev. DIR. ". Pat
terson, and the Rev. Robert Collyer, made
perhaps, the most notable discourses; and
that Of the latter gentleman was perfectly
Hebraic in the intensity and earnestness o1
its feeling, and the solemnity of its argu
ment and utterance. No more eloquent 0,
timely words have been spoken upon the
war, nor have the godlike and satanic
principles which underlie it in deadly con
flict, ever been put forth with d more yivit
c1carness~
AL theaddresses, indeed, were admirable
and full OF patriotism, and the ieryor Of de
votion; and thus has gone up to the throne
| of the Great Disposer Of Nations the unitet
prayers Of our citizens for tile success o
OUT arms, and the safety and prosperity 0
| the Rcpublic-not altogether, let us hope
| in vain

TEE LATE CITY ELECTION.
Fit is true that in multitude Of coun-
sellors there is wisdom, it is also true shat
That is ererybody's business is nobody's
business. The wisdom of the counsellors
has decided that the recent Chicago cleo
lion was carried for Sherman and the Cop
perhead ticket By series Of gross and sys-
tematic frauds, skilfully prepared By adopts
in the business, and daringly executed by
men who are always ready to do evil; but
The task oflega11y proving the existence Of
That which nobody doubts, being entrusted,
BY tho nature Of the case, to ten thousand
hands, remains une1ecuted; and the pro-
liabilities now are that though the eGiden-
ces Of the frauds that have been committed
are lying around on cvery hand ready to
be gathered up into case that will send
Sherman and his gang down to the condi-
ton Of private citizens, nothing will be
dene; and the ill-gotten triumph will be
enjoyed by thoEe whose scoundrelism
won it.
We are not content that this should be
SO. AS partisans and as good citizens we
are disinclincd 10 submit to rule that has
been forced upon us by means so base,
But as prudent and lav-atidinr men. ye

TNKIRDEST CUT OF ALL

The article, On Mcclellan, credited in
another column to the Richmond Whtg, Is,
while the unkindcst cut that the defunct
General has received, unquestionably
clean record Of what the intelligent men Of
the South believe Of the character and ca
pacity Of the late idol Of the North. Their
opinion, long ago matured, can be safely
declared now The General is played out.
His race is run. His careeris ended; and,
though he has not made good his threat of
going to Europe, he has been sent to
limbo from which return is more difficult
than from transatlantic trip-to Cor-
entry!
We can imagine now, with the article
before us, the infinite relish with which
The junta at Richmond, and the secesh
throughout the South, enjoyed the news
TINT camo to them from the North, during
N1cClellan's palmy days; We can hear the
loud guffnws that saluted his movements
as they transpired; and We can see the
workings Of that happy confidence which
their knowledge OF his iocapacity and
worthlessness inspired. But how intolera.
ble the remembrance that be to whom was
confded the destinies Of this great Repub'
lie, was, though at the head Of one OF the
largest, brayest and best appointed armies
OF modern times, the butt Of rebel ridicule
and the by-word and scorn Of ali who hate
our cause. We sec how hollow was thcil
