THE BRITISH BULL GORED.

During our recent troubles Great Britain
was exuberant with sympathy for rebels and
rebellion. We Were persistently lectured from
that quarter upon the harsh cruelty of our
treatment of traitors, and admonished that
moral suasion was the correct thing to apply
to squelch out big rebellion. Profoundly
shocked was the British mind at the invasion
of private rights involved in military ar
rests, and the suspension Of the writ of habeas
corpus though these measures were adopted
by our Government with extreme reluctance,
and only when the fierce spirit of rebellion was
gnawing at the very vitals of the nation. But
nor things are changed. Great Britain, with
no other provocative than an undeveloped
movement by the Fenians, that it affects to ut
tsrly despSe-with not blow struck or a drop
of blood spilled-hastens to do in the outset
what it abused for doing when we Were in
the midst OF civil war-suspends the writ of
hGbeds corpus by precipitate parliament
;ary and executive action, and forthwith
proceeds to make wholesale arrests of sus-
pected persons without preferring any
charges against them. Now Great Britain
thinks no punishment too great for rebels,
or those suspected of INDUCING rebellious ideas.
1t has suddenly leaked through the hair, too,
of the sapient British lion that Ireland now oc-
cupies towards England the same position
which the rebel States held towards the Union
States during the war: and that it will be
nightly inconvaient," TO say the least, to
have the United States recognize the Irish
people as belligerents, and allow Fenian pri-
Vateers TO be sent out Of American ports, a Ia
British "neutral' precedents during the late
rebellion. The English Parliament at this late
day has discovered that the neutrality laws OF
Great Britain are inadequate to enable her TO
fulfil her international obligations towards
foreign countries, and proposes to set about
remedying the defect. Whether the Fenian
movement succeeds, or 'des a borninq,,
through the quarreling of its doctors, 1t will be
likely 10 at least serve the purpose Of putting
Great Britain on her good behavior hereafter
towards other nations, and especially will
cause her to reconsider her views on neutrali.
~ obligations and moral suasion for rebels so
efusively expressed for our benefit during our
late conflict.

IEsURRECTION IN THK CHINCHA ISL Nps

The Navy Department is in receipt OF dis
patches from Commander Z. X. Murray, US.
steamer Wateree, dated Chincha Islands, jan
nary 30, 1865, stating that on the night of the
25th instant he was appealed to by the Ameri-
can and other foreign residents on the middle
island for protection. A revolt had occurred
among the Chinese laborers, Numbering three
hundred, and they had complete possession OF
the island and were threatening TO destroy the
residents. Commander Murray referred the
deputatIon which presented the appeal to the
Commandant, and was informed that the latter
officer mad sent all his force-twenty men
against the rebels, who refused TO land, on
being attacked by the Chinese. Lieut.. Schley
was ordered to the scene of the riot with
twenty five men, TO ascertain the condition of
affairs, and reported, On his return, that mat
tiers were even worse than had been repre-.
sented. The Peruvian force still feared to
land, the mob was defiant, and il was reported
that several men were killed. Commander
Murray then ordered Lieut.. Schley to land,
which he did through a dangerous surf, fol-
lowed by the Peruvian force, with orders 10
act only on the defensive, but to protect Amer
lean and foreign residents. The Chinese did
not attempt TO resist our force, and order was
seon restored. Next morning, the Peruyians
having been reinforced, the Americans were
ordered on board. The Commandant of the
Island thanked Lieut.. Schey and his men for
their aid; and the unanimous opinion was that
their Assistance had saved the island from
great violence and cruelty.
Another outbreak occurred on the morning
OF the 2S,h, in winch the rioters were fired upon
by the garrison and several killed

THE ryIprHcH SUBMITTED BIZ THE BE-
anNRTKECTION co nNITTEE.

w Amh'
In the House of Representatives yesterday,
Mr. Boutwell,, f ON the Committee on Recon-
struction, report q q large mass Of evidence in
the csse of Arkansas, Miss ssippi. Georgia,
Alabama, &c.
Major General q. H. Thomas says that while
the people of Alabama are an xious to have that
State restored to her position in the Union, they
are not personally friendly to Union men, and
have bitter feeling of hostility to them. III
the Federal troops wer Withdrawn, Union
men could not have justice done them, and un-
less they bad very warm p rsonal friends they
could not live IN tue State. Thsre was no dam
ger to be apnrrhended from the negroes, I'M
less the whites treat them SO bad that they will
be compelled by self-defen q to rise ayainst
them. The General does not think that Geor-
gia differs materially I ON Alabama. Gen.
erai Grierson, the vIlry raider of the
Southwest, testified tina. the great majority
Of the people whom he net in Georgia, Al
ALBANIA, Mississippi and TENNESSEE, did not
think that they had done anything wrong by
their connection with the rebellion, their o liy
regret being that they had not the mean to
carry out their designs. He believes there is
now an organization existing throu ghout the
South for the renewal of the rebellion. General
Chas. III. Howard "a brother of Major General
Howard) says the feeling of a majority of the
people of South Carolina is not friendly to the
Government of the United st ties. Miss Clara
Barton testifies that the peop'e in the late
rebellious States have no respect for the Gov
eminent of the United States Colonel Clapp
says that he has knowledge Of thirty counties
in North Carolina, and believed the secession
lists had no inclination to oppose the Govern
ment by open war, but they hal no love for
the Government and only submit by necessity
Colonel Brooke, Provost Marshal General of
Alabama, said there was q great deal of dis
loyalty in that State. MIR. w. ID. Snow, u s.
Senator elect from Arkansas, was unable to
say whether it would be safe To withdraw the
military, but he thought if it were done order
woulC be preserved. The most of the evidence
adduced by the committee is to the same fleet.
