u left an aged and afflicted mother, who
loaned upon my arm alone for protection
and support, Hearrbroken and over
whelmed was she, in sorrow for her muir
dered sons. so 'as@@-s@ o'ls Z
Never will forget the deep signing of
my honored mother, and AheRving breast
and anxiousl look Of my dear wife, espe-
cially when took my leave for Kentucky.
Well do remember looking back as left,
ahd seeing my wife leaning against the
dbor-faeang, for support, as though she then
had none on whom to rely. She watched
me as long as her eyes could behold me-
All! the curious looks she gave after me
never shall forget. The many times she
has cast her eyes in that direction, where
she last saw the only one unto whom she
looked for happiness, during all future
time. Oh, my God! how my poor heart
bleeds to visit my home and those loved
ones again, from whom I have been exiled
by these bloody tends Of satanic birth
And why? Because would not betray
the trust reposed in me and be a traitor
Now, there are similar cases to mine all
over East Tennessee. Four of my near
neighbors, as well as my brother, were
hung by those wretches before left home
for the army, and numbers shot, and how
many since Ileft home I cannot tell. /
came to the army last July. 1 was driven
from my home and family last November
year ago.
But why are our suferings continued?
Has not the Government got a mighty arm
and strong nerve to save? She has beyond
q doubt. Has the Government no sympa-
thy for suffering East Tennessee? Surely
she has. Why, then, is she not released
from the tyrant's clutchesf
We pray you, o friends, grant the request
made by East Tennesseeans-let us All pc
put together, and let us go home to defend
our own wives, mothers, children and
homes, and you, the Government, hold OF
the dogs, (the 1egions Of Richmond and
Bragg, and if we do not clear our country
Of rebels we will give our lives sacrifice
in the attempt. You may depend upon 1t
if the Government had have armed us and
gave us ammunition, we would not have
come to Kentucky, but we would have de-
Tended our homes and our families, and
Tennessee should have run red with trait
ors' blood from one end to the other before
we would have left our homes. May the God
of Heaven speed the day when every man,
either North or South, who will not give
his undivided support to the Government
for the suppression Of this rebellion, uncon-
shall be treated as the law di-
reefs for an enemy. More anon.

The Distress in Ireland.

Mr.. Hugh Mccall, publisher Of one of the
Belfast journals, thus writes to the London
Times regarding the distress existing in the
north of Ireland:
You are aware, sir, that a number Of no
men in New York and Phila-
delphia, in addition to the gifts of money
contributed to Lancashire, recently loaded
three vessels with different varieties of food
and sent them to Liverpool, the -four, Incl-
an corn, and provisions which formed their
cargoes to be distributed among the suffer-
ers by the cotton famine. Under the aus
pices of q leading mercantile house in Liv-
erpool, the Committee of the Lisburn Cotton
Operatives Relief Fund, applied to Mr..
Daniel James, Chairman of the LIVERPOOL
mittee, for portion of the cargo of the good
ship George Griswold, and after some cor
on the subject, having given
full statements of the great extent Of coun-
try over which our relief districts ran. we
had the qualification to learn that 100 bar
rels of -four had been allocated to our Com
mittee. Besides that munifcent gift, our
friends in Liverpool sent over last week 167
bags of Indian corn, with request that one
portion Of the lot should be handed over to
the poor weavers of Ballymacarett, another
to the Committee of the distressed opera
tives in Newtonards, and the remainder to
be kept for the use of the poor people in and
around Lisburn
Itmay be asked what have we been do
ing with the funds so amply poured in on
us, for the aid of the suffering? In reply
have to stat that we have at present an
aggregate Of above l LOCO families on the in
spectors' and sub committees books
These people receive weekly rations of meal
and coal, and in great many cases thew
have been supplied with blankets. Others
again have obtained from the ladies' com
mittee various articles of clothing. the

tiyes in this quarter, that it is not oniv
much more unsatisfactory than it was ut
the commencement of the year, but that
SO far ascan be seen into the future, there is
little hope for improvements least for a
long time to come. The Belfast manufac-
turers are doing very little in the way OF
production, aud the Glasgow houses, who
have agents for the giving out Of work
here, have been gradually lessening their
extent of business.
In the rural districts many weavers are
getting work in fields but even in that case
an evil arises in their competing in the la
Dor market with the ordinary class of farm
operatives, thus in some degree bringing

IRISH VoLUNTEERs.-The Liverpool
Albion of the 18th of March, says: 'For
some time past it has been observed that
from this port, and also from Cork, there
large emigration of strong, active young
men, chiefly Irish, for New York. The ex-
tent to which this draft has been and is still
carried gives rise to suspicion that these
young men are in reality recruits for the
Federal army. This suspicion is further
countenanced by the we'll known fact that
for q long time past agents Of the Federal
Government have been at work in Ireland,
endeavoring surreptitiously to obtain re-
cruits. The Federal Government makes
SO much noise about our alleged assistance
TO the Confederates that it would be as well
thelr own proceedings were watched more
closely. We believe the Government is in
possession of facts oonfirmatory Of the ru-
NOR respecting the movements Of Federal
agents in Ireland

TRUE CoURAaR.-A little drummer boy
in one Of our regiments, who had become 8
great favorite with many of the officers, by
his unremitting good nature, happened on
one occasion to be in the officers, tent when
the bane of the soldiers life passed around.
A captain handed glass to the little fell
low, but he refused it, saying, 81 am a ca
Diet of temperance, and do not taste strong
dring.''
"But you must take some now. I insist
on it. You being one of our mess to-day,
and cannot refuse" Still the boy stood
firm on the rock of total abstinence, and
held fast to his integrity.
The captain, turning to the Major, said:-
III lis afraid to drink; he will never
make soldier =,
'How is this?" said the Major playful
"; and then assuming another tone added :
II command you to take drink, and you
know it is death to disobey orders.''
The little hero, raising his young form
to its full height, and fixing his clear blue
eyes, lit up with unusual brilliancy, on the
face Of the officer, said: 'tSir, my father
died q drunkard; and when l entered the
army promised my dear mother, on nv
Bonded knees, that by the help Of God I
would not taste drop of rum, and mean
to keep my promise. I am sorry to DISC
hey your orders, sir; but would rather
suffer than to disgrace my mother, and
break my temperance pledge
The little drummer boy is now woun-
ded sufferer in the hospital at West Phila-
delphia.

A FEMALE NIMRoD.-Mrs. II. L. Leon
ARD, of Bangor, a daughter of II. A. Head,
of Boston, recently accompanied her hus-
band to the Restigouchie River, N. B. on q
shooting expedition. She had desire to
slay one of the animals by her own act, and
travelled fourteen miles on snow shoes, the
thermometer from thirteen to twenty de-
grees below zero, and the first night en-
camped on the snow. The next day follow
ing her husbands trail, she encountered a
moose of the masculine persuation, with
terrible horns and immense size, which an
ima she brought down at the first pop with
her rifle. She attended to the skinning and
dressing of the creature and turned back,
arriving at the hunters lodge Sixteen
miles, all safe. Before this exploit she had
chased q caribou six miles on the ice. and
her dogs drove the game into hole, 50 she
got no trophy. Mrs. L. ought to be at the
head of a brigade.
