e a grand haul, but we hope their nets will not hold. The men of intelligence who see the drain thus made of the very bone and sinew of the country, resist it from policy and patriotism. The priests, who are generally conscientious and earnest men, and who live on voluntary contributions of their parishioners, are bent on arresting the exodus. The only party favorable to the Yankees is the silly and mischievous clique of demagogues who style themselves "Young Irelanders," of whom General Meagher used to be one of the shining lights, and these men make themselves busy in selling their countrymen for the Yankee shambles. No step has been or will be taken by the British Government to stop this wholesale deportation, for two reasons. First, from the difficulty of proof of actual enlistment; and second, because of the unwillingness of Lord Russell to wound the susceptibilities of Mr. Seward, of whose conduct he has "no complaint to make." The priests, the press, and the publi

Lincoln has issued the following proclamation, dated at the Executive Mansion, Washington, 7th inst: Reliable information being received that the insurgent force is retreating from East Tennessee, under circumstances rendering it probable that the Union forces cannot hereafter be dislodged from that important position, and esteeming this to be of high national consequence I recommend that all loyal people, on the receipt of this, informally assemble at their places of worship and render special homage and gratitude to Almighty God for this great advancement of the national cause. (Signed,) A. Lincoln. President of the United States. Miscellaneous. The bogus "Legislature of Virginia" failed to organize at Alexandria on Monday for want of a quorum. Lincoln has so far recovered that he was engaged in public business Tuesday night. Gen. Meagher was captured by the enemy in citizen's dress near Mine Run. Gold in New York Tuesday was quoted at 154.

Pleasanton will be appointed in place of Meade. The Yankees captured the Confederate signal station at Thoroughfare Gap, but did not get any men with it. About $300,000 worth of shipping was destroyed by fire in New York harbor on Wednesday last. A bill has been introduced in Congress to make Grant a Lieut. General. The bogus Governor (Pierpont) of "loyal Virginia" sent in his message at Alexandria Wednesday. He says "free the slaves and when the State is fully restored there will be no bone of contention." Gold was quoted at 148½ in New York on Wednesday. The Secretary of War reports that out of the call for 300,000 men only 50,000 were realized, though the Government got $10,000,000 commutation money. Gen. Meagher was not captured by the Confederates, but is with the army of the Potomac.

the British Empire. This is the key which deciphers the mysterious eagerness with which the fresh rushed to enlist under the stars and stripes for Southern subjugation. Any political movement which weakened the United States postponed the revenge upon England, and hence the sacrifice of blood by Irishmen for the restoration the Union. Like all enthusiasts, they became the dupes of unscrupulous politicians, and are now slowly, but surely, recovering from the deception practised on them by Meagher and other Irish demagogues, at the instance of the Yankee Government. In polities, under the old Government, the late Archbishop leaned to the Whigs. For years he was the public and private friend of Seward, and those who have had a better opportunity of knowing than the writer of this sketch are inclined to the opinion that astute and unscrupulous man made an undue impression upon a mind unnerved by extreme age and burthened with the spiritual government of an extensive arch-diocese,

We observe that General Meagher is occasionally mentioned among Federal officers on active duty, but we hear nothing of his Legion. What has become of the Irish Legion? It was the bravest and hardiest body of soldiers in the Federal service. Where, oh where, has the Irish Legion gone? Irishmen, one would think, ought to be tired, by this time, of fighting other people's battles, especially the battles of enemies against friends. We are glad to discover that they are no longer rushing with enthusiasm to the banners of Lincoln. The experience of the war and the advice of their most judicious friends are beginning, at last, to have their due effect. His Holiness, the only potentate in the world who has manifested any sympathy with our cause, has not in vain signified his disapprobation of such counsels as those of the late Archbishop Hughes. From that time the Catholic Church in New York has been swayed by a spirit more in consonance with the teachings of the Gospel.

Capture of beeves. --From the Chattanooga Gazette of the 5th of January, which we have before us, we gather the following item of good news for our side. The Gazette says a raid was made the day before on the Government cattle, which were grazing at a point eight miles from the town. The raiders were about four hundred, said to be under the command of Gatewood and Tom Polk Edmonson. They captured eight hundred beeves, and killed, wounded and captured nearly all the guard. General Meagher, who commands at Chattanooga, sent a force after the raiders, but they had got off and carried their plunder with them. Our boys are getting bold to go within eight miles of Chattanooga.

From the Montana Post, November 11.On Meagher's Bar, opposite Nevada, have been discovered fossils that unmistakably prove that this part of the world was, at one time, inhabited by a race of human beings who stood, in maturity, from ten to twelve feet high; and by a species of quadruped at least twice as large as the Asiatic elephant. They were imbedded about eight feet in what might be termed a close diluvial deposit, and in what the configuration of the country indicates was once the eddy of a river. As an evidence of the form
