ANAPPEAL TO IRISHuEN

We have been requested by many eiti-
zens of Irish descent to publish the follow
ing:
The war cry is raised In EOrOpe. Nations
are precipitating themselves upon nations.
The old balance of power as it was called
is thought to be overthrown, and the King
doms of Europe that saw their safety only
in the preservation of this balance of pow
er are almost certain to be involved, and
thus the country which was held down
under the iron heel of oppression as sppen-
dages to great powers, are likely to find an
opportunity of throwing off the yoke that
weighed so heavily on them. But this
only can be done by united action. The
descendants of the Irish race here in
America as well as the Irish themselves hail
with delight the coming opportunity that
seems to be about to present itself to re-
cover their ancient nationality, and win
for themselves a place among the powers
of Europe. To take immediate advantage
of any opportunity that presents itself, the
Irish are to hold soon National COnven-
ton in Cincinnati to which the different
cities and national organizations are in
vited to send their wisest In council.
Hence we citizens of Nashville, wishing to
take our part In this assembly of the wise
and bold of our race, call upon the Irish
citizens of this city to meet in the Council
Chamber next Wednesday evening, 10th
inst, at o'clock, to take action on this
coming convention, and the present state
of affairs in general.

which came near ending in a riot, occurred
on Saturday evening about nine o'clock, in
that part of Boston known as South Cove.
Officer Clayton had arrested a lad nine
years of age, named Richard Burke, for
burglary, and while taking him to the
stationhouse, crowd of men, women and

tempted to rescue the boy, when Officer
CLAYTON fired his revolver four times, shots
taking effect as follows: Henry Mcmahon,
aged Z years, seriously wounded in the

A boy named Hayes was shot in the thigh.
A strong rec of police were soon on the

The report of the Minister of War, ap-
proved by the Empress, was published in
the official journal, the minister says, the
existing circumstances obige us to provide
for the defence of the capital and to gari-
son it with fresh troops, allowing all those
which the Emperor keeps under his orders
to contend IN open country against the
enemy. Emboldened by his first success
he is on the point of marching on Paris,
but Paris will not be taken unaware,
neither the strong arms nor the devotion
of the inhabitants will be wanting.
The National Guard is to defen d the
ramparts, which it will have helped to
render unassailable. Forty thousand men
have been taken from its ranks and added
to the present garrison. There will be
more than enough to make an active and
vigorous defence against an enemy Occu-
pying an extended front. The defence of
Paris will be assured.
But there is point not less essential
| it is the necessity of filling up the void Of
our army. With half of themarine troops,
with the regiments still at our disposition
of France and Algeria, with the fourth
| battalion, with the force of one hundred
regiments including those who belong to
the Garde Mobile, and with a portion of
our gendarmes, we may easily put in the
| field one hundred and fifty thousand men.
Besides this, the call for the class of 1869
will give us sixty thousand men, who in a
/ month will become real soldiers.
But for this struggle we can also employ
| the entire national and mobile gardes, and
the companies of Freensfercans who are
every where asking to be organized. Here
we have four hundred thousand, and final
ly, counting in the garde nationals al
Sedenlaine, France can then arm two mil
lion defenders. Their arms are ready, and
million still in reserve.

MORE CHURCH NEWS.

Hereafter most of the advertisements will be
thrown upon our 4th page. This will give room
for much larger amount of news-a department
in which we think the Central Presbyterian has
heretofore compared favorably with any other pa.
per of equal size. While newspaper is properly
expected to discuss at some length such questions
as concern the Kingdom of Christ and while it
should be enriched with selections, religious and
literary such as will interest and instruct its read
ers, yet it has always seemed clear to us that a
very large portion of its columns should be so filed
as to make it emphatically, what its name imports
"a 1S-paper. Whatever may be said about a
morbid desire for gossip religious or secular the
fact remains that the best people wish to hear the
Re,oS And, provided the intelligence is in itself
of proper kind there is no harm in feeding this
appetite; for it is natural one. 1t does Chris
tianS heart good to know how the affairs of the
Kingdom of Christ are progressing. If this holy
cause is in affection he should sympathize with it ;
if it prospers he should rejoice with it. 1t ought
to quicken his devotion and zeal the more thor
oughly he becomes acquainted with its condition
Judicious pastors often remark that they can see
great difference between those of their people
who take a religious paper and those who do not
When in their sermons or in private conversation
they mention things in which the Christian Church
at large, or their own denomination in particular
is engaged, they find the man and the family
where the newspaper is read, kindling with inter.
est at once. The other will probably stare at him.
and feel no sympathy. On this account the efforts
made by pastors and elders and deacons to get
good journal of this kind into every family, is one
that well repays them for the trouble; since in
some important respects it answers purpose for
which nothing else can be substitute.
If the general idea here suggested is well found
ed, it may be safely said that to no former age Of
the Church, certainly to no period within the pre-
sent century, has it been more applicable than to
the present time. No intelligent observer can
hide from his eyes the fact that mighty influences
are at work over the world 1t is time of great
agitation. Many would say that in general "the
foundations are out of course" certainly they are
deeply moved. 1t would be short sighted view
to imagine that all this will amount to nothing,
and all things are to run on exactly in the old
tracks. This would contradict all the past The
religious world is in one way or another more
deeply stirred now than it has been since the fer.
ment, we had almost said the commissions, of the
Reformation. All this betokens corresponding
changes of some sort. If so it becomes all Chris
tians to read and understand to watch the pro
gress of events, to comprehend the times in which
they live; to hear the voice of God in his Provi
dence, and thus be better prepared to stand com
plete in all his will.
