Rebellion In Ireland.

THE Fenian troubles in Ireland have culmi-
English press shows the affair to be serious
one, and shows, too, in what spirit it will be met
by the British Government. The Times says
'the Rebellion must be Stamped out, as we
stamped out the cattle-plague." England
will now have chance to pat in practice the
many pieces of good advice she gave us
during the late Rebellion in this country.

THE LATE METEoRIo DISPLAY, which
was to have come off in this country, but did
not, was witnessed in England and Scotland,
and was very brilliant. The New York
Herald of the next day published special
despatch by the Atlantic cable giving an
account of the affair which Professor Loomis,
on scientific grounds, publicly pronounced
canard. For once the newspaper man beat
the astronomer.

THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT. 1t is said to

September, to be present at the laying of the

An amateur musical concert will be given at
the Opera House ON the evening of the 9Th

conduct the exercises, are arranging to sup

refreshments in the grove.
On the evening of the 9th, banquet will
be given to the President and other distin-

in Chicago have agreed to carry passengers
at the usual excursion rates, and the public
officers. banks and Chamber of Commerce
will close for the day.
The cornerstone will be laid on the 9th.

The Sentinel says it always corrects"
what it finds to be erroneous But the
Sentinel never " finds" any thing it says to be
erroneous, and therefore necer corrects its
misstatements
For example, the Sentinel stated, just be-
fore the late vote on the Constitution, in or
der to influence the vote, that Judge Ruffin
was the author of certain letter on the sub
ject. We exposed this letter, whereupon the
Sentinel threw doubt upon the authorship,
in order 40 excite sympathy for the Elk Chief
Justice. That paper knew at the time, and
knows now, that Judge Ruffin is the author,
but it refuses to correct the erroneous i'm
preston it has made
Again, we stated sometime since, that Mr..
Davis threatened in 1864 to coerce the peo-
pie of this State. The Sentinel pronounced
the statement false. We produced the proof
from an official document, but the Sentinel
declines to notice it, and thus conceals the
truth from its readers.
We admit it is difficult to catch the
Sentinel in a falsenood, out we can chase it
from one falsehood to another all day. It
never tells the truth when falsehood will
suit its purpose better.

THE PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCE.-The
headquarters of the National Union Execu-
tive Committee in Philadelphia will be at
the Continental Hotel. The committee has
engaged twenty rooms at that hotel for the
use Of itself and the officers of the Conven-
ton. These headquarters will be established
on the 10th instant.
The most prominent names mentioned in
connection with the presidency of the Phil
adelphia Convention are ex-Gov. Thomas
Ewing, of Ohio; General Dix, of New York;
and Judge Curtis, of Massachusetts,.
The selection will doubtless fall on one Of
these three, and at present the first named
seems to be the favorite
The Executive Committee have not de
termlned on an organization which they will
press, but are canvassing the names mention
ed. Steps are being taken to prevent any
difficulty as to the qualification of members
The Southern delegates almost unanl-
mously concur in the wisdom of excluding
those who may be personally odious to any
respectable portion of the loyal people of the
country, and are themselves willing to sub
init to test which may exclude some OF
their number in order that certain Northern
aspirants for seats may be kept out.-Ns"

We congratulate the Sentinel and its old

We congratulate the Sentinel and its old
Wing friends on the brilliant Democratic vic
tory, in Kentucky, recently achieved over
the Unionists of that State. The Louisville
Courier says:
"Without being disposed to be boastfuI or
vain, we do think that the Courier has some
cause to congratulate itself upon the result
of the election in this city. Fighting the
battle single-handed and alone against the
journal and Democrat and one of the Ger
man papers, it proudly presents Louisville
| to the Democracy of the nation, and to the
people of the South, as Democratic city, a
city which repudiates all utilization with the
Abolition Jacobins, and upon whose skirts
there is no faint"
At the recent Democratic Convention in
Maine, which appointed delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention, the President of
the Convention among other things said:
II have sometimes asked myself the ques-
ton, what end had Providence in view when
it precipitated on the country this late ter
rible war? think have solved in my own
mind the question. It was tor the abolition
of slavery for one great and nightly reason.
1t was on the question of the African that
| the Democratic party was divided. That
question is now settled, and believe settled
forever God has permitted it to be so, and
it is this very thing which is to restore this
divided Democracy, so they may be united once
more, dndiuisi6le and t0reoer. Cheers.] And
now one word more You have with you
no, you will be with him-that good and
patriotic man, Andrew johnson great cheer
ing] in this mighty issue. The Democracy
do not ask Andrew johnson to come to them
they go to him-the Democracy do not fol-
loao, but lead. [Cheers.l The Democracy
ever rally around standard bearer who
fights for the safety of the Constitution and
equal rights; and there the Democracy will
ever be found, following the lead of any man
who is right, going ahead, and they will
carry Mr.. johnson on to victory. There is
another strange providence of God. 1t is
that Andrew johnson has been preserved to
save this Union, and carry the Democracy
on to victory."
Our neighbors of the Sentinel have at
length found fit associates among the seces-
sion Democrats of the country. "The Demo
cracy" leads and our neighbors follow. For
our part, we know neither Wing nor Demo-
crat. Old parties are dead. The only living
party which should command universal sup
port and confidence, is the great Union party
of the country. We belong to that party.
1t is composed of the cream of all the old
parties. 1t will endure and triumph while
the piebald faction to which our neighbors
belong will pass away.

EMBARGO AT WILMINGToN.-The Journal
of Commerce, N. Y, states that on Thursday
last despatch was received in that city to
the effect that call New York vessels are to
be quarantined at Wilmington for fifteen
days" This was understood to be an order
from Gen. Sickles, intending to protect Will
mington against ships infected with cholera.
If enforced, however, it would have amour
ted to virtual suspension of trade between
New York and Wilmington, in which six
steamers and considerable fleet of sailing
vessels are engaged. Mayor Hoffman, of
New York, being called upon by the princi-
pal merchants interested in this trade, telc-
graphed to Gen. Sickles, requesting "no
quarantine for vessels arriving at Whining
ton not having sickness on board" Gen.
Sickles Immediately complied with the May
or's request, and the threatened suspension of
trade is thus avoided.

The following article is from the Mobile
Tribune of a recent date:


Tribune of a recent date:
"DosTIE
Another name is added to the list of Abo-
lition martyrs. Dostie has gone the way of
John Brown, marching along" toward a
country. compared with the climate of which,
! even the heat of these dog days will be con-
sidered cool. Brick Pomeroy, some time
back, drew a very graphic picture of three
handed game of cards that the souls of three
Abolition martyrs. of which Jim Lane was
one, were playing around a red hot iron table
in hell, and intimated that one more was
wanted to make four-handed game. They
are now gratified, for Dostie will do to take
hand till some more important parsonage
benjamin the beast for eXample) arrives to
take his allotted place. The soul of little
Dostie. the barber, may then be employed in
curling the shadowy hair of the soul of John
Brown-if John can be made to stop march
ing on" long enough to have his hair curled.
Some time ago Dostie was trying to get up
an excitement by declaring to a set of horror
stricken Radicals, and negroes with eyeballs
popping out of their heads, that somebody
had been DIGGING his steps with intent to
shoot him with an empty horse-pistol, or
bottle of ginger pop. He was joking about
that: but alas ! it was no joke. this time. The
poor barber, who had generously given up
the shaving of white men in Chicago to
come South and shave negroes, thus ended
his career in a manner little in keeping with
the inoffensive mode of life of Il knight of
the striped pole Dostie is dead! That
garrulous barber tongue of his will wag no
more. Alas ! poor Dostie.
