It is painful to think of Ireland in re-
bellion. 1t is for the Gladstone govern
ment to consider carefully ell methods of
dealing with ireland. AS n question of
force thcro could only be one ond to nm
armed struggle. The rower of England
thrown upon ireland : ould crush her in
single campaign. Nor can Ireland ex-
pect any support from outside nations,
such rs France gave to Italy against Aus.
tria. and 10 America against England in
tho days OF Lafayette and Rochambeau.
Even If there was disposition on the
part OF tho Continental Nationnlities TO
Interfere tho naval power of England
would make any such attempt madness.
Ireland Is therefore alono, isolated, hem
med in by seas, with q poor reputation.
tho lands untitled, the nation suffering
from famine and from centuries of mis-
government and thriflle5snoss. ireland
will have sympathy from tbs United
States. Money, supplies aTi, If necessa-
ry, mon will go To her.. But public opin-
ion in tho United States can have only q
slight influence upon the British Govern
ment. Tho utmost That can be expected
Is money In the manner In which Mr..
Parnell raised it; or, in the event OF
another famine, by tho generous contri-
buttons of our people.

The Assistant General Freigh. Agent of
the Columbia & Greenvillc Railroad was In
Anderson OH Tuesday, and in conversation
with some of our merchants stated that in

would be arranged and settled upon. That
while goods from the Wes. were being now
shipped by the way Of Augusta that the

sequence, and that the recent advance in
