Under this head one Of the New York
papers publishes the following The Cork
Examiner, well-informed paper, pub
fishes some rather startling news. 1t
says:
"A rumor is being spread through vari-
Gus parts Of the country that Ireland is on
the eve of a revolution or rebellion. The
signal for the rising is to be the landing

and preparing them for the anticipated

mysterious language that certain per-

csrry out the plans Of our church. Bish-
op Ames, ct last accounts, was at st. Louis,
preparing TO start upon his tour down the
Mississippi Bishop Simpson will soon
proceed TO Tennessee. A prominent and
popular Methodist minister, now stationed
in New York City, has been designated for
the city Of New Orleans; and though the
appointment demands Of him not little
sacrifice, his acceptance is nevertheless
hoped for. An order has been given by
the Secretarp Of War permitting the occu-
patton Of deserted churches within our
military lines, and the use Of them tempo
rarily for religious services. No questions
Of ownership or possession are TO be raised /;
these can be determined only when the sew
eral States are brought back to ther ale
glance and civil rule is once more estab'
lished over their people.
Many facts in the condition Of the
Southern States encourage the hope Of the
return of the vast majority of Methodists
in the South to the old ohureh-the church
of Asbury and McKendree, from which
many Of them separated with the greatest
reluctance. The Methodist Episeopa

Purrty of the Adm1nls,ration.
From " Occasional " of the Press.


Have you ever thought that, although
surrounded with complications and temp
tstions, no suspicion or stain has ever
justly attached to any one Of Mr.. Lineoln's
Cabinet, and also that whenever sought to
be fastened upon them, investigation has
been followed BY complete vindicstion
It may be charged that the House CEN
sured Secretary Cameron before he left the
Cabinet; but although that censure stands
unexpunged, it must not be forgotten that
the President, whose pure and unsulHed
patriotism not even his worst foe has ever
dared to question, came forward to assume
the whole responsibility for which General
Cameron was most unfairly blamed. 1t is
next to impossible, in such an emergency
as this, when millions must be spent, or
the cause lost to freedom and the future,
that there should be mistakes, and some
times extravagsnce, and not seldom dis
closures Of corruption. How every case Of
mslfeassnce in cffice, Of incompeterey and
csrelessness, is punished and detected, the
country knows and remembers with CRATE
full pride. None escape the ceaseless
wstchfulness and impartial justice of the
Government. The highest are removed or
retired the moment wrong doing is proved
upon them. The brave and honest soldier
is taken from the ranks and promoted.
The grssping contractor is checked; the
dishonest one gibbeted before the eyes of
the nation, while the faithful servant is
advanced and spplsuded. such is the re-
cord of Mr.. Lincoln's Administration up
to this period. Is it surprising that as the
loyal people read it they are grstifed? Is
it to be wondered at that the rebels behold
the glowing picture, and shudder at the
dreadful contrast suggested by that dark
and bowling pandemonium in which the
hends in human shape, who have despoiled
them, wait the hour of their sure over

what shall be Dene FOR Disabled sOIdIsrss |
Tbs subject Of providing for disabled |
soldiers is already engaging the atten-
tion Of benevolent men. Il were we'll
for the generous and wise Of our city to
take the matter into contemplation. The
bes. idea we have yet seen Is that of Frank
Moore, editor Of the Rebellion Record, who
q kss for some time given this question con-
sideration, and indeed has had it forced
upon him by his frequent intercourse with
returned soldiers. He is about to lay before
the merchants Of New York City q plan
which appears to US to possess unusual
merits. Heproposes to purchase by the
subscription Of wealthy citizens tract
Of good farming land in the vicinity Of
New York; to erect upon this farm prop
er buildings for the accommodation Of such
q number Of disabled soldiers as are like
IL to have claims for admission and &C.
ospE them as inmstes, on the condition
tbalthey assign to the treasury Of this
foldier's Home their annual pensions. In
return for this sum, which amounts to
sbout ninety dOllsrs per year, the institu-
ton is to elothe feed aud lodge the soldier
er provide for him everything which he
requires. In this way it viii be self-suP-
porting after the first cost of the grounds
ndbuildings is paid; and, ss cOnse-
opsnoe. each inmate will have the salts
faction Of knowing that he actually pays
ia7 his way that he is supported in comfort
by the pension which he has hOnOrsbly
- earned.
Mr.. Moore proposes that such men ss
choose 70 work upon the land shall have
the facilities for doing So at regular and
proper wages, which will serve them sH
pocket money; and for such as choose t'
practice their former trades, workshops
will be provided, where they can labor a
viii, paying small per centage Of theil
earnings to the institution for the accom-
modation. The stay Of each man will o
course be voluntary. He assigns his pen
sion for but one year OF timei at the en'
Of the year he renews it if be chooses
II be can better himself, he is at liberty +
go elsewhere.
Suoh a plan, faithfully carried out un
der the auspices Of our bestknOwn, most re
sponsible and judiciOus citizens, would b'
worthy monument Of their regard for th'
brave men who have perilled their live
in the field for their country.
The plan, after having beenWell mstur
ed, out to be carried into effect Immediate

would give courage to our gallant men i
the field, by assuring them once more tha
those who remain at home have a regar

great magnitude shall not be undertaken,
and it is by no means certain that they
will not be, military activity will prevail
s. in some quarters all the time. Indeed,
some Of the most stirring events of the
Wsr have heretofore occurred in mid-win-
ter. The movement of General RoseOrsns,
which resulted in the battle of Stone riv-
er, was commenced on the day after Christ
mas. This winter, we doubt not, an equal
or greater activity will prevail. In the
Southwest the winter will be peculiarly
favorable, especially for the gunbOat ser
vice. There will be no lack of important
and stirring military and naval events.
Apart from military matters, the win
ter will be one Of unequalled interest. The
discussions in Congress, the progress Of
ideas, preliminary capitalization Of prin-
ciples and parties preparatory the great
struggle at the ballot-box next fall, all
make it important for the people not only
10 keep themselves informed of public
matters, bnt to see to it that such inform
alton is disseminated broadcast throughout
the land. Those who already see the
daWning Of brighter and better day, a
day Of glorious promise for the nation and
for humanity throughout the world, ought
Of all things not to slumber or sleep now.
II they would work most efectually to the
end OfcOmplete and glorious triumph, they
shOuld be steady, active and jealous
through the present winter.
Now is the time for every active, live
and thOrOugh-gOing Union man to take the
papers himself, and get others to take them
ss we'll Two or three hundred extra Un-
ion papers, circulated in every county this
winter, will be more effective in promoting
right voting next Fall, and preserving 8
steady and efficient support Of the Admin
- istTation and the Government, than two
or three times the effort necessary to Sc
cure them, made in any other direction
next Spring and Summer. We repeat,
then, take the papers, and by all means
promote and extend their circulation
among the people.

One of the most significant facts of the
day is the vote on Wednesday last in Con-
gress upon the resolutions of Smith Of Ky.
These resolutions take bold and lofty
ground on the questions of the day,-and
the great reaction from the Peace doctrines
of VslIsndigham is SO manifest that Con-
gress begins to talk like q regenerated
creature. The two following resolutions
we're carried by an almost unit vOtei but
man vote against them, Benjamin Harris,
Of Maryland:
RssolUsd, That we hold it to be the duty
of Congress to pass all necessary bills to
supply men and money, and the duty of the
people to render every aid in their power
70 the constituted authorities Of the gov
ernment in crushing out the rebellion.

lsntry in defending and uphOlding the flag
of the Union, and defending the great prin-
eiple dear to every American patriot,

Charleston is meeting with the Just pun
ishment due to the pride and arrogance of
its citizens. There are no crowds of graft
fed spectators now upon its piers and
places of vantage. All who can lesve il
have deserted their homes Blackened
ruins Of the great fire render one-hslf of
the town gloomy and desolate. Gilmore
has taught them that the safety which
they thought was Insured them by their
distant forts and batteries no longer exists.
There has been another bombsrdment of
Sumter, but not by the brave spirits of the
Seutb, and an attempt to witness it from
the city was not safe experiment Every
day and every night Yankee shells 90
pitching into the city, and come down in
the most exposed places. Every one who
moves about the streets knows not when
he leaves his house whether he viii ever
return to it alive. No one goes to bed at
night without fear least shell may come
through his room before morning, and de-
prive himself and family of existence.
These are some of the punishments which
Charleston suffers for its ingratitude and
folly. The slow progress Of the siege adds
to the sum total Of the misery OF the be-
leaguered. They cannot see the end
they wait sadly, and in trepidstion Of the
daily events of the tedious operations Of
Of the enemy, but every hour of delay is
to them an addition to misery already too
great 70 bear. Charleston is s modern
LsOcoon, enveloped with folds which il can
neither loosen nor throw off. Every new
construction is an exquisite agony, and
every psng approaches nearer to a fatal
end.--P PhiIddelPhi Inquirer.

The Washington correspondent Of the

GThe reolamations alluded to in the
