The Irish Blood Split.

How mary brave lrishmen have been
mutilated in this war ! How many Of
them have been killed in it? How much
Irish blood shed in all our battle fields !
How many Irish widows and orphans has
it made ? hese are melancholy ques-
tons. Who can solve theml We can.
not but rejoice that our people have en-
listed freely in support of the Constitution.
Their patriotism and their valor honor
their race and th"ir adopted country ferey-
er. But wh at has their blood, their valcr,
their patriotism achieved? Certainly not
that which was expected.
For this bad result we are to blame the
inability aud dishonesty ofthc politician
statesmen, and country-attorney warriors
at Washington. 1t is not an unfair calcu-
lation that thirty thousand Irish lives have
been lost in this war-that it has made
ten thousand Irish widows; that it has
made orphans of forty thousand Irish
children; and that il has rendered desc
late forever, thousands of Irish parents
and brothers and sisters Verify, the
Irish have an interest in seeing this wal
ended There were once ample reasons
for hold ng that they di not enlist in vain
that the splendid sacrifice they made
would be followed by the triumph of the
Repubio. Those reasons exist now only
>in the shadow; and in addition to their
substantial dispersion, their solid places
are occupied by reasons Of another kind
THIS ABOLITION FACTION IS THE GREAT
CURSE OF THE COUNTRY. Justly may
we all 90 on our knees and invoke the
God OF nations to destroy it for all time
1t merits the Irish malediction in a mos
particular manner, only for its heart ren,
dering deso!ation had not entered tens o.
thousands of our happy Irish homes

mitted to question the necessity for 40
radical a change in the established Malitia
System of the country, in consideration Of
the fact that every requisiion heretofore
made by the Federal Government upon
the State authorities, had been promptly
and patriotically answered; and in no
case, except that of Massachusetts,, has
there been the slightest indication on the
part Of the Governors of any Of the loyal
States, of an intention to Withhold from the
President the support of any portion OF
the whole war power of the nation in the
effort 10 suppress the rebellion, and restore
the constitutional relations between the
seeded States and the Federal Govern
ment. The conscription bill, in view of
the manifest tendency ofthe measures OF
the present Congress toward ab,olutism,
may well excite suspicion and diitrust, if
not a stronger feeling 1t has yet to pass
the House. The vote on its final passage
in the Senate, is not given.

Almost identical words may be said in
reference to MCCLELLAN. After driving
the enemy from Yorktown, he proceeded
through almost insuperablc obstacles to
within sight of Richmond, and then failed
because faction at home kept from him
the promised aid. The parallel continues
further. Scipio "carried the war into
Africa" and was almost laundering at the
gates Of Carthage. The people of that
city, in mortal terrer. brought Hannibal
again TO assume the command Of their de-
feated al d demoralized army, which he
did and by his prudence and ralor ter
minated the second Punic war.
Mcclellan in like manner took com
mand of defeated and demoralzed ar
my, and by his victories at South Noun
tain and Antietam, secured 10 us Washing.
ton, saved Pennsylvania, and drove the
enemy from Maryland.
While quoting history, allow me to
point to another instance where it repeats
itself, and in its grandcst form. Napo-
leon decidedly the greatest warrior Of
modern times, lost the battle of Waterloo
and consequently hts empire, because
Grouchy either through treason or inca
pacity did not arrive in time, and because
Blucher did arrive in time TO assist Wei
lington Does the world blame Napoleoni
Noj never did his genius appear grander
a. biameS Grouchy
So with Mcclellan. When within
sight Of the spies of fRichmond, he cleared
the way for Mcdowell, aud anxiously
awaited his arrival with bis 60 900 picked
men, But he did notcome, but Jackson
did, and the combined Coated crate army
fell upon our dishcartoned troops, certain
in their own minds of annihilating it, bu
tGey did nal. In this instance Mcclellan
genius was greater than Napoleon's; he
s01ed his army, Napoleon did not.
But Of what use is it to repeat history
Its grand teachings are disrcgardcd, and
Mcclellan in his solitude will be classed
with Hannibal, Scipo, Napoleon. Verify
"Republits are ungreatfu."
Excuse me if L am full Of Mcclellan,
we all are, and mast let ii ont.

Army Correspondence.
Sentiments of the Soldiers.


A brave young soldier, writing to
frohd in Bloomsbury, from Fort Lincoln,
remarks
have learned to my entire satisfaction
that soldiering--particularly this kind of
sodioripg---is not Printing. If one knew
for what purpose he was exposing himself
it would be a different thing. But none
even of our leaders seem TO understand the
issue. With few noble exceptions, they
overlook the real object,-the preservation
OF the Constitution aud the perpetuation
of the Union--and look only to their per-
sonaI aggrapdizemcnt and the welfare Of
the Niger The matter must soon be de
cided one way or the other let us hope
that il vii be for the best.
/ i visited Washington few days since.
1t is disgrace to the Government and to
the Union TO see the number of officers
there are loungi ng around the streets,
whom they should be at the Forts, Hun
dreds are to be seen promenading the
Streets daily, drawing their pay, without
rendering an equivalent. l suppose these
fellows think these Fre the "better tines
promised by the Rep~blican IeaderS, But
l don't want TO write politics.
There are quite a number of the Bloom
boys in this Regiment, viz Al. Adams,
Crosley, Ice, Stner, and John B. Ander-

am very thankful for the old Demo-
crst like lis tone exactly, and read it
with interest aud satisfaction. Long
may it wave, and let its motto be "inde--
pendence now and forever" D."
A Soldier to US unknown, sends the
money for the Columbia Dcmoc, at, and
says
As was sitting in my crib, a few days
ago, on the Shantilla battle-ground, one
Of our boys received your paper and got
a hold oft, and found i: contained the
first part Of a Speech made by Mr.. VAL
LANDIGuAM. 1t took SO we'll in the
Camp, that am under the necessity of
sendingto you for the balance of the
Speech. He speaks forth the words of
truth and soberness, accompanied with
strict loyalty and sustained by souud log
c. cannot be mistaken in his loyalty,
when he di,tnctly declares that the settle
ment of this terrible war can only be eff
ected upon principles mprehending the
Union, IN t0ct, Of the entire Thirty Four
States. And be who proposes eny other
settlement is Traitor.
Every item of news from old Columbia,
is most welcome 10 the soldiers. Great
wrongs now rule our coantry. And one
wrong is, as this Regt. is chiefly composed
of democrats, we can get no news but
d--k republican papers.

Poor Tax:

Mr.. Editor-.The enormous poor taxes
of Bloom twp, are coming to be a source
of serious concern, Many people are ask
ing how can they be diminished and kept
down 7 One proposes poor house, an
other putting pauPers to work, and another
some third expedient,
think / can tell the cause and the cure.
The cause Of the growing taxes is, that
the Ju.tices arc to blame in granting
orders Gf Rel,ef The cure is to refuse
them unl ,ss the case is clearly meritorious,
Then we should not have paupers who are
able to work, but prefer living at public
expense.
The Ogerseer OF the Poor cannot go
letind an Order of Relief-When pre-
sented, he must obey, he has no discretion,
no appeal-he must obey the order This
whole enormous wrong lies at the door of
the justices of the peace. The oysrseers
cannot reform it. They DO the best posi-
bic under the circumstances.

k&" We call the attention Of our read
ers to the amendments, and remarks
thereon, Of Hon. Hcister Clymer of Bcrks
County in the Senate, few days ago.
Mr. Clymor showed himself on that
occasion, not only able and willing to de-
leud the rights of citizens but to charge
upon the abolitionits their unconstitutional
acts, and dare rofutation. His speech
and his amendments will meet the decided
appreciation of every conservative citizen.
No ADLER man nor better Democrat is in

GREETED his inability to address our meeting
at Orangeville last September; and said to
us that on that day, he was at Hagerstown
