' Tbe Government of the Ukited States, is oub onlt Government, and in its " honor and glokt. mc3t wb find ours." TIirRSDAY, KIRCH 14, 1867. " I Take the Responsibility." The caption of this article so forcibly reminds one of the patriot of tbe Hermitage," that the old war cry By the Eternal " resounds familiarly in the ears of every reader, whose love for tbe " sage hero and statesman " be gets an admiration for Audrew Jackson, A type of their ancestry and of the stuff of which heroes are made, tbe Southern people, when they, six years ago, determined on Secession, proclaim ed to the world that they took the re BpoDsibility.'' Whatever differences of opinion may have then ex'uted, and no matter to what extent the expediency of our step may have been questioned by many of the wisest and bcitmcn of the country, the facts arc that with a unanimity, at once excluding exception, every man of respectability and intelligence, from Virginia to Texas, gave his adhesion to the Southern Confederacy, and in word, deed and action pledged his life, his for tune and sacred honor to the cause. Not haviDg been bred in the school " of " States Rights," and not blind to the faults of the majority, because be ing of the minority, the writer not only doubted its practicability, but stren uously opposed a dissolution of the American Union. But this important question, having occupied some of tbe greatest minds of the country, from the foundation of the government, was des tined for a practical test, and when Se cession become a fact, it was no longer a question open for discussion; the path of duty was plainly marked out, and that man is and was a traitor, who failed to walk therein. Believing as we do, that the South em people precipitated upon themselves the difficulties which surround them, we conceive that po man has a right to complain of the results which have flown directly from his own actions; but tho question should rather present itself for the serious consideration of : every one, how far is he individually responsible; and this query may be answered by another; how far did his actions tend to avert the present state of affairs. Had every man at the Socth performed his duty, as did those noble fellows whose unknown graves attest their volor, their manhood, their honor and their honesty, the result would be different, and tbe evils we bear, unknown. Passing events have developed the fact that our cause was just, and we have nothing to reproach us but its failure. It rested the issue with its adherents, and they were want inff in fortitude and endurance. This fact is not only established by tbe ter mination of the war, Jyahiose who re veV7"'6 dishonor their dead, dis grace their country and humiliate them selves, plainly indicate that we have re ceived a fitting reward. At the passage of the Sherman Mil itary Bill the people were thrown into constercation, and men now manifest an indecent readiness to aid in imposing conditions on their State and country that but a few months since they re jected with scorn.- Professing a knowl edge of our duties as journalists, we shall counsel a passive submission, on the part of every one, and recognizing the authority of Congress over us, we shall yield a faithfal obedience to its law,?, be they what they may, but we will never consent for the South to be come an active party to her own hu miliation. In the plan of reconstruction as pro posed by the military bili, the South had no agency, and with the matter she has yet nothing, to do. The mode and manner of proceeding is prescribed in the bill and its supplement, and the only question with us is, who we shall vote for to represent us in Convention, whenever an election is called. Those who now argue that it is best to accept the conditions, not only exhibit their cowardly fear, but it is manifest that they are ignorant of the true situation in every particular. We are not a&ked to accept anything. Military rule, for an indefinite period, is established beyond a doubt, and we presume no man in the country anticipates its non-acceptance, i t a non-submission to the laws of Congress. If such there be, he is sim ply a fool. As regards the establishment of mil itary domination over the South, we have only to say it has not disturbed our equilibrium for a moment. One-third of our lives have passed under military Bupremany, "and martial law has no new terrors for us. A great portion of the Southern people served in the Confed erate armies for four years, all are fa maliar with tbe duties of a soldier, and certainly know hew to appreciate and re spect his position when on duty. We have not been free from military rule since the inauguration of the war, and we do not see, since this authority is not to be removed, wherein we are disappointed, or how the passage of this bill can seriously affect us. In the present disorganized state of the country, with the negroes invested with equal rights, as t bey have been or tbe past year under the provisions of tbe Civil Rights bill, with lawless ness and crime on the increase, as it is througout the country, we are forced to view this military power, in a great measure, as a more adequate pro- tcction to innocent and well meaning 4n persons in ineir me ana property, .jjor .1 . 1 . -r evil doers of both races it has its ter rors, but the innocent will rarely suffer if they observe strictly the rules of pru dence and propriety. We have certainly been no advocates of this scheme, and had Congress pur sued a wise policy this and similar measures could never have been re sorted to, but the provisions of this late law are a thousand times preferable to the Howard Amendment, for while this disables fewer of our people, it is done without cur participation, and in sub milting thereto there is nothing to re preach us. We therefore ask our readers to dis miss from their minds the fear and ap prehension produced at the passage of this act. Pursue the same line of con duct that hitherto characterized them. Till their grounds, improve their farms, build churches and school houses, edu cate their children, and afford the ne gro every facility for educating, improv ing and fitting himself for tbe position he is called upon to occupy. And, above all, remember that no people can be humiliated or disgraced, but by their own actions and consent. Northern Sympathy with the Suffering booth. The preat destitution existing among the people of portions of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, is truly alarming, and has had the effect to wring a comforting pity from the ada mantine heart of tbe North. Puritanic Boston has contributed up wards of thirty thousand dollars al ready, and we are sife in placing the 6aal donations of this city at a hundred thousand. This is all the more grati fying, because so entirely unexpected, since Boston has never professed any sympathy, whatever, for the South, nor have the Southern people solicited, in any manner, aid from an enemy whose hatred has been so openly declared. But the people of Boston will find that every r'gut minting ooutnerner wm 1 . , v t i . t Tl appreciate their acts of kindness to a suffering people, no matter what differ ences of a political nature may continue to exist between the two sections, for after all the estrangement may be only a difference of opinion, and if one could be led to believe the other honest, a re conciliation would speedily follow. But instead thereof, our Northern breth eren declare U3 not only wicked, but the most dishonest and unholy people that, were ever nermitted to live. an 1 UO 4UtUu i -uuu. w,- mmuaj is, so far as we arjghe(I j th- . Mancc strengthen within us the faith that there is something good in human uature after all, foi we are disposed to believe that the Bostonians, in thus contributiong of their bounty to relieve our distress, are acting purely on that good impulse of nature which draws the creature by instinct to a Buffering brother, and we appreciate it as akin to the goodly act of the Samaritan. Other wise, and tendered in a spirit seeking our humiliation, we should decline their charity. As regards tho aid coming from New York, we feel that, under no circum stances, are the destitute people of the outh justified in accepting a farthing New York sympathy is 'a phrase of such general use, that, it has become at the South a household word, but, as we have always contended, New York sym pathizes with us much after tbe mauner of the gentlemanly highwayman for the victim whom his avariciousnes3 despoils of his goods. New York is emphatically, and we assert it without hesitation, the pick pocket of the South, and this is no new ly conceived opinion with us. Her ac tions place her side by side with the blackleg who insinuates himself into th good graces of his victim, only to rob his purse and betray his confidence. Such conduct has characterized New York city from our earliest recollections, and we simply point to the fact, that she has contributed to the starving South, the sum of forty thousand dol lars, to sustain our position. In this connection we would ask, what has become of those Southern .1-1 n n ff nrl, .m IDA ll.t.n liMmnJ r. tnnnli 7 ... , X , We grant that there are good Southern men, by birth, in New York, and the fact that these are there intensifies our . . f . , . j j. uutcLXij.o ,vi iuc ily, auu u.uata U3 with the arguments used in favor of this modern Sodon, and iu no wise in creases our respect for, or confidence in those at the South the willing slaves and vassals of the mighty North. Bal timore, a city containing one-third of the population of New York, has done for the South just ten times what New York has, and the South has done for New York twenty times what she has for Baltimore. We trust we shall hear nothing more of this myth, New York magnanimity, and our merchants and others, in be- -..v.u6 vc,r riruuuge, woum nps oniy serve their own interests, but consult the wishes of their patrons, by paying some attention of respecx to tbe fact herein mentioned, and govern them selves accordingly The Irish Republic. Below we give the declaration of war of tbe Irish Republic, which appeared the Scotch and Irish papers of last Friday. It k & stirring appearand the cause no less just than many anoth er that has been doomed to utter failure. We sympathize with Ireland. The history of her oppression and wrongs endured, may be likened unto another, who, for tbe present, shall be nameless. We read this declaration furnishing, as it does, an outburst of a pent up and smot tiered ieeiing oi neroism, witn a melancholy admiration melancholy oe- cause of its utter hopelessness. No Re public now exist3 possessing sufficient love of freedom to side with the down trodden and oppressed, and this appeal will fall on heedless ears, and awake do warm emotions within the heart of any reople. But one nation has yet been born that would have aided old Ireland in her hour of need, and that, alas, per ished beneath the apple tree at Appo- mattox. the victim of Ireland s warm- hearted and impulsive, but deluded sons.

THE FENIAN PROGRAME IN IRELAND STEPHENS AND JOHN MITCHEL. The news received by the cable of a new I outbreak of the Fenians in Ireland gives , interest to the followine statements, which appear in the Dublin Freeman's Journal, , under the signature of a correspondent : I "When it was discovered in New York ft t SteoheM failed to keen his promise of commencing a fight at the close of last year, A. 4. J. the fury of the American Fenians knew no bounds, and if he were caught during the first stages of disappointment he would not be now in France to give trouble to the Government. The supposition that he is now in Kerry is entirely groundless. He is in Paris, and has already sent for his wife to join him there, where he intends to ap ply himself.to literary pursuits for the fu ture, being somewhat in the condition of Othello, as far as the Fenians is concerned. "When his defection was discovered by Col. Kelly and others, a convention of the Broth erhood was called in Nqw york, when he was formally deposed and General Gleason put in his place pro tern , until the views of John Mitchell could be had. cated with on the subject, and his advice was to the ' effect . that the organization should be kept up in America, but that nothing should be further done m Ireland owing to the dangers to organizers and peo ple from the extreme watcmumess ot tne authorities. - Mitchell argued that it would be madness to keep tip the organization in Ireland, or attempt an ; insurrection, until England was at war with some of tho great Powers which event, he thinks, cannot be long delayed. He advises the consolida tion of the two branches m America, tne accumulation of arms and stores at conveu- ient points for transportation, and that or ders be sent ta Ireland to suspend opera tions until a more favorable time. Ihese views were presented at an adjourned meeting of the convention above alluded to unanimously adopted. Mitchel also con sented to be the future chief of the Fenians on both sides of the Atlantic. 'This agreement was notified by the con vention and a messenger dispatched imme diately to Ireland with the news. Fortu nately, that the messenger arrived in the nick of time to stop foray foray contempla ted by the more violent I enians. Orders was immediately dispatched to all . parts of the country to prevent the contemplated movement, which had the desired effect. Ihe southwest of Kerry is the onlyiuace where the order did not reach in time ; hence the attempt at insurrection there, and the cause of the people of other parts not aiding the Kerry insurgents. It is not for any want of sympathy, but in obedience to orders, that the 'turn out' was no more serious. The order did not reach England as soon as Ireland ; hence Chester. Nor need the Chester people imaging that it was the extraordinary display of vigor by the authorities that prevented the sack of Ches- tcr Castle, but be thanktultnat tne order oi John. "Mitchel reached the leader just in time to prvAnt it." Thia beinff so. it is plain that the men lately arrested in DuD- lin, Drogheds, Dundalk and other ports, did not come to Ireland to create disturbance, as the order of suspension had reached them before they left Lngland. "All Americans in Ireland, Lngland and Scotland have been ordered back at once and most of them have already left. All would have done so but for the want of means. The more indigent have applied to Mr. Adams and the various American Con suls at our ports for transportation home. So the police and detectives may relax their lgi'.ance and Lord Derby lei. the he beas conms be restored The next mva sion oflreland will depend on John Mitch el and the chances of war between England and the United States or France and it is to be hoped that Ireland may so improve in the interim that no change of rulers may be necessary. Without, however, justice be ing fiirly done to Ireland, a strong hostile element will always exist in the United States, ready to take any advantage of Eli- eland's troubles with foreign States, the above I have obtained from Mr. Mitchcl's messenger, who is an old friend and school fellow, and who returned by the Liverpool steamer on Saturday Death of Artenius Ward. The death of Charles F. Browne, known throughout the country as Arte mus Ward," was announced in the daily papers of Saturday. He was not quite thirty years of age, yet be had already- attained the reputation of tbe most gen uine humorist this country has yet de veloned. Mr. Browne was a native of Waterford, Maine, and began life in a printing office. De first appeared in his real character through the local columns of the Cleaveland (Ohio) Plaindealer His writings and lectures have all been given to the public, of which his bst erhat)s were The Babes in the Wood," and " Twenty Minutes in Af rica." Hv style was original, in fact 'o man hStuselt was so original as to bear little resemblance, either in ap pearance or anything he said, to his fel lows, and hence his great success. His wit was not educated like that of " Tohu PLcenix, yet we question if the happiest hits of the lamented " Squibbob " surpassed the genius of " Artenius Ward. In September last Mr. Browne went to London, ostensibly to contribute to Punch, but really to escape that death which he has more than once alluded to as "staring him in the face." Poor fellow he rapidly broke down, and after some months of illness through tbe winter, daring which he indulged the .hopeful belief that he should recover with the coining spiing. he died at Southampton, on Wedntsday of last week, on his return from the Isle of Jersey, where he had been availing himself of the milder cli mate. " A fellow of infinite jest," he was genial, generous, honest. Not high his calling, but we drop a tear to the memory of a good man, and hence forth, iu recalling his humorous say ings, the melancholy fact will fasten upon us, that a heart which many can not possess in this life, is as cold as death can make it, and Southerners can but regret that the band is still tbat once reached forth to succor the desti tute family of our " imprisoned Chief." Corgress appears to have buried the hatchet. The lost" days th6 thirty uinth session were characterized by the passage of the Bankrupt Law, a measure that must ultimately, if not speedily, bring great relief to the hon ett debtors of tbe South, and, as an evidence that the whirlwind has well n'gh spent itself, the proposition of Mr. Sumner, in tbe Senate, to exclude rebels from the benefits thereof, re ceives the contempt it deserved. On Saturday, the ninth instant, a j"int resolution in the Senate, appro priating a million dollars for the re lief destitute Southerners, regardless of politics introduced by Mr. Trumbull, passed by a large majority. On Monday the Senate's joint reso lution, demanding further guarantees preliminary to recoLstruction, was ta bled after a long debate. On the same day the " Sherman iniquity " was ren dered less objectionable by the passage, in the House, of a supplementary bill, placing the question of cal'ing a Con vention entirely in the hands of the Commanders of the several military districts, thus rendering the action of 1 the panic stricken Virginians ridioulous.
