AiW York : Dkak Sik : Yen are, I have learned with regret, at the head of a company of “Irish Zouaves,” now in course ot disci plme, and inised for the avowed puipnse ot aiding the hcieditaiy tot men oi • ui tace ui ihe United State*, to conquer aim subjugate the South. While deeply de- pioniig this, your fatal life-eiror, 1 am fat less load to carry-—hone at-d sinew mak the soldier, not blood. A light diet may go hard on men of strong appetite ; ! lit he that lives soberly and lightly will recovei of his eounds quicker, and trouble the hospital less than the man that drinks hard and gorges himself incessantly.” While the above is the testimony, botl i of medical science and military expert.! onto, y«t it is a truth much disretraideo ! by those whom it so deeply cencerns. An j extract fiom a Northern journal, now be fore us, laments the “Rightful increase ” of intemperance in that latitude. Nor does our own service fail to furnish teasons for solicitude in this respect , so that parent and friends who surrender their sons and their comrades with comparative compo sure to the peril of the battle field, tiem- Rle. with dread at the unnecessary bui gt eater perils which attend the intemper ate use of spirits by the soldier. To out brave men we earnestly appeal to calm this solicitude, and to show tlieir caie tm j themselves and their devotion to theiu cause, by heeding the wise warning,— j though bluntly expressed, which we have copied above. Especially is it the duty of the officei* to he examples of sohiiety ; for the fait of their commands, and the success of oui cause are deeply involved in it. A man has no right to trifle with uis own life, suie- lv lie should not trifle with that of an other whom it is his duty, too, to watch over. He has no right to seek a command ) over m<% and then betray them ; to ask \ a post ot responsibility and then sacrifice asaciedtrust to low appetite. Our enemy have suActed losses from the indulgence of the vice of intemperance among the officers. r ! heir commander in the Fairfax skirmish is said to have been, in plain words, drunk. General Butler, at Fortress Monroe, is hut little better than a beast, and has done nothing lau damage his cause. Let not the evil he found in om service, or, if found, not tolerated ; otherwise we must not wonder if ourbiave forces should I e humiliated, and put to disadvantage by blunders and snrpiises, due alcoholic mists upon the brain of tlio.-e who should keep all their faculties cleai and wide-awake. It is to he hoped that the most searching scrutiny, into our past and our future, shall disclose no single in stance of reproach to our service such as we have referred to above. In this connection we may appropriate ly state, that the steam tog. which plies between West Point and Yoiktown. nar rowly escaped destruction through the real or pretended drunkenness of a stispi- cious person. We cannot too catelully guard against the emissaries of the enemy. have been charged with repeated attempts i ties of Maria Monk? Who stoned the to poison the wells of Texas.

Who sacked penne with the slave population of the — - - • South, cunningly mid insidiouslv devis ing fal*t hoods whereby to incite them in to ’ insncircetion, murder, rapine, and es cape. N*>w, sir, this is a feeble and imperfect picture, drawn fum the trcmnrv in the forward towards New Creek, on the Poto mac river, eighteen miles west of Cumber land, four companies of Tennessee, who found the Yankees posted r,n the Mary land side of the P< tnmac. ( ur hrave fellows, in the face of the enemy, forded the stream, waist deep, drove them off in the utmost confusion, captured two pieces of loaded artillery and a stand of colors, destroyed the railroad bridge at that point, and retnrned to Romney, making a inarch of thirty-six miles and gaming a brilliant victory, within twenty hours. Our readers will thus sec what Gen. Johnson’s ‘retreat fr<>m Harper’s Ferry” has Hone. It has thoroughly broken up General Scott’s paper programme, de stroyed his whole western combination, and compelled him to remodel his whole plan. If our “retreats”do flni3 much, we wait in confidence to see what our advan ces will do.

Put. sir, the great tragedy of this drama t is not your political a post a cy ; it consists j rather in the use wliich you, and other I men like you, may make ot your influence j —the result ot a series of accidental cir- ! cinnstances—in wheedling our people into the adoption ot a devilish policy. It is. I alas ! a melancholy fact that, in jour sec tion, Irishmen aro once mote in danger <>I becoming a prey to the Mephistophtlean blandishments ot latse teachers, false lead ers, and false patriots. God help m\ un fortunate fellow coimterymen ! Without a nation ora government that they could call theirow ii, they have been driven from their beloved homes to the four points oi the compass, exiled Horn the cradling- sod, and resting place of their ancestors, only, it would appear, to he invited bj you to smite the hand that fed and was first stretched forth to welcome them ; and to canj’ desolation and extermination to the health stones of those who sheltered their distress, and were the chant) ions < t their rights in the new land, when those rights were threatened with invasion and subversion. I am aware, sir, that this godless and accursed crusade into w hich they are hur ried and seduced, is masked beneath the visor ot insidous hypocrisy. Even yon. sir, exhorted them to uphold the Const! [ tutiou, and to guard the honor of the old flag. Put no other man knew bettor than 1 yon did that this was worse than sophistry i —* hat it was beneath sheer bluthervmskite j —that it was naked deception. You know that the disruption of the Union was the re ult of repeated violations ot the Federal Constitution on the part of the North. You know that civil war is the natural fruit of the seed sown for a quar ter of a century by Old England and Aew England Abolitionists. Yon know that this crusade, of which you are an analyti cal fiagmeut, is a crusade for the liberation and civil and social canalization of the ne gro. Y ou know that Gerrit ismith has de clared that the torch of the incendiary i should light rip the towns and villages of ' the f until, while the North would mock-at j i her calamity and laugh at her fear.

In the brief space of two months he has managed to trample under foot nearly everv i:i Dorfnnt pmcRmn of the Consti tution. 1 he power to make war upon a sovereign State was denied to Congress, and the power to declare war against a for eign nation specially delegated to the Con- v ot Lincoln has sot at defiance the !

At least, do not involve your fellow countrymen in yom • wn error. Believe me, my heart beats with kiiitlness and affection for yon. and I w rite in sorrow rather than in anger.

Sir, you cannot aid him with out becoming a participator in his crimes and perjury. But you “will guard the honor of the old flag ” Let me tell you that that flag belongs to the South as well as it does to the North, that, in the day of peril and danger its honor was asserted by Southern prowess, while the parents of the dastards who now surround you remained supine at home, or sought to betray it. When, in 177 1, tlie British Parliament declared the port of Boston closed, Massachusetts pre pared to resist, and south Carolina and all pringiiig sires of the people of the seceded States. It is the resisting harrier of ancient habits and rights, against the contagious aggres sions of new heterogeneous thoughts and actions, suppnited by an unanimity of feel ing unexampled in the world’s history. And these people, sir, can neither be ciushed nor defeated. They will fight for tlieir independence.with Spartan valor and Attic fortitude. Y ou may wage a war of years against them, and beggar botl* sections of the country, hut I tell you that so certain as tjie sun shines at mid-day, the old Union will never be restored.— And, as a final consequence, 1 again beg that you will recede from your false posi- the other Southern States made common i tion—that y ou will not be instrumental in cause wifii her; but when independence i banding down your own name, or the ville. reports splendid crops throughout m *se, no concession, so long as the foot of the vast region he has thus recently tr; versed. From all quarters comes the cry ‘•unusually abundant cjijis.” To whom do we owe this rich haivest alone—for He is the ruler of all, and “doth accoiding to His will among ihe in habitants of tlie Faith, and among the aimies of Heaven.” Physically as well as Spiritually. “Paul may plant, and Apollos water, but God alone can give the increase.” Let us then, lender to him the heaitfelt tribute of gratitude and love; and, individually and collectively, be oRen found on our knees, returning thanks for the many blessings alleady received, am! humbly asking fo* all that we need.

But in this connection allow | me to lemind you of a few tacts, i Before the election of Abraham i incnln. the dominant paity of yonr section were notoriously opposed to “the Union, tlie Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws.” T hey literally spurned the Con stitution and the Congressional compromi ses glowing out of it • hey lawlessly set at defiance the decision of the Supreme Couit in the famous case of Dred *cott, and reviled, in the coarsest form of billings gate, the Chief Justice thereof. They shot down United States Marshals, or Deputy Maishals, in discharge ot their sworn duty, and they nullified Congressional enact ments by thus obstructing “the enforce- met ts of the laws.” They ignored the Constitution and repeatedly refused to surrender fugitives from justice. They sent to Kansas detachments of hired ruf fians; armed with bowte knives, Sharpe's rifles, and Colt’s tevnlvers, for the avowed (impose of exteiminating theiefrom the citraeob of the South. They invaded, vi was purchased- when the Federal Gov eminent became one of the family of na tions—was Massachusetts a,ways willing to co-operate vviih her sister States? In the war of IMrJ not only Massachusetts, but most of the New England States also, withheld their supplies fiom the General Government, and.gave aid and comfort to the enemy by means of blue lights and Hartford Conventions. In our war with Mexico, which resulted in the acquisition ot Texas, they joined in the prayer of Cor win, “that our gallant army with a toe to welcome them with bloody hands to ho.-pitab!e graves” And now. sir, when these biavc Southerneis, w o have been fiist in war and first in peace; win* have honestly anil frankly guarded every provision of yonr Constitution; who have battled danntlessly and manful ly for the integrity ol the principles upon which the Union rested, and whose blood fieely flowed to protect fiom foreign ag gression our adopted citizens—find it iin possible to live any longer beneath the same political roof with the wooden nut meg Puritans ot New England, you not only buckle on your sword, but call upon my countrymen to follow the lead of your self and such shining virtues as Brigadier General Sickles—the “walking battery,” who murdered Barton Key—in coercing them back into allegiance, to this hated despotism. Et tu Jh utc. And this from the storied Irish patriot Meagher! Have yon yet to learn, sir. that a government which rests not upon the consent of the governed, is necessarily an odious and bad government ? Nor can you have any other name than tvrant foi lie who usurps the rule of those who dcs- spise him. But. sir, why do you inveigle the Irish people, or any portion of them, into brand ishing their weapons on the side of Puri tanism. in this unnatural and fratricidal wartaie ? What is this Puritan—what is Ins psychological charactistics what hi* relations in history ] Why, sir, he is in doctrinated with the conviction that he is the elect vicegerent of trod upon earth. His life from the cradle to the grave, is pragmatical—peipetually intermeddling with tlie affairs of his neighbor ; lasteuing his plummet to the illicit line of his faith: sounding hearts of men, and anathematiz ing as pagan and pestifeious, whatever may be inharmonious with his own little cogitations. His long visage, nasal twang, canting hypocrisy, and intolerable prying, banished him from England to Holland, where he soon became equalK obnoxious, and was constrained to emi grate to tlie sterile rucks of Massachusetts, from which congenial locality he has suc ceeded in keeping the whole continent, savage and civilized, in hot water ever since. Nursed in a horror of two imagin ary phantoms—Slavery and Popery—he is an accomplished hater of his fellow-man before he has begun to learn how to love God. What l»is course relative to the slave ow ner has been, we Lave partially seen ; but his policy in regard to your re Iigion and mine—the religion of our dis mantled and shivering country—rema ns to he examined. I will not, sir carry your mind back to those famous “Blue Laws,” by the provisions of which the Roman Catholic, like the *on of Man, was denied a placo whereon to rest his head, in all New England. But soon after the formation of the old Confederacy, and the establishment of the General Govern ment, the true American principles embod ied iu them were subverted by the enact ment of the “I uritan, Alien and Sedition Laws.” passed during the administration of the elder Adams—a blow manifestly aimed at Catholicism. J will pass over similarly remote events, and ask you : Who kindled the tionist fires of 1844, and fo tere own name, or names of any of our people, wreathed with the cypress of shame and infamy, to the pen of the future historian.

Hit* Rr-oo upnlion o« llnr|M»r*« Ferry, We are now at liberty, on tlie best a* rlmrity, to make pub.ic the true in tivo actuating General Johnson, in what th* Northern, and some *>f the *outhein papers, have called the “Evacuation ot Ilaiper’s Ferry.” The Geneial, like other military men of educ tion. had long known that Harpe*’s Feiry. in itself, i* faulty and un tenable, Imm the facility with which it can he tinned. Ii lies a* it were in the small end of a “funnel,” the broader end ot which could, with great ease, he occu pied by tlie enemy. T he heads directing the opeiations of tlie Y ankee forces were well aware of this fact, but forgot that there were fully as astute heads on our side The minute and able investigations of Maj. Whiting, Chief Engineer to Gen. Johnson, had satisfied our leaders of the justness of these views. It was well known that Gen. Scott’s plan was to turn Harper’s Ferry bv a column from Penn sjlvania, under General Patterson, efiect a junction near Winchester or Strashmg with another column of McClellan's army passing through Homncy; and cut off Beauregard’s and Johns* n’s armies from each other. T his plan was completely foiled, and the enemy checkmated at theii own game, as we shall explain. ()ti or about T hursday, the 16th instant. Gen. Johnson having waited at Harper’s Ferry long enough to make the enemy believe that he intended to contest that position to the last, and learning that they were advancing on Williamsport ano Romney, sent a portion of his force to Winchester by rail. On Friday be contin ued this movement, sent hack his tern equipage and other heavy baggage, his sick. Ac., Ac., set file to and burned th* railroad bridge, and such uf the public buildings as could be burned without en dangeriiig private property, spiked such of the heavy guns at Harper’s Ferry as conic not be removed, and on .Saturday moved, with his whole army, marching on foot, in the direction of Winchester, encamping about o 1 2 miles southwest of Charles- town. The enemy, taking this move ment, as it was intended they should take it, as a retreat, crossed a bridge of their ad vance division, commanded by Geu. Cad- wallader, (who joined their forces on Sat urday or Sunday morning,) which was moved forward towards Martinsburg. On Sunday morning, however, General Johnson changed his line of march, at right angles, and moved square towards Martins burg, encamping at Bunker Hill, on the Winchester and Martinsburg turnpike, twelve miles from Martinsburg. to offer battle there, or advance and attack, if nec essary. 'Phis movement placed tlie enemy in a “predicament.” He had not crossed his w hole force, and if the opposing forces had closed he must have been beaten in detail. He therefore “acknowledged the corn,” turned tail and retreated, re-crossed the river tfnd evacuated the Valley, retir ing beyond Hagerstown. A Lieutenant Colonel and another, (members of the 8th Pennsylvania Volunteers) were taken pris oners during this retreat. A day rr two after this, Col. Hill, 13th Virginia Regiment, in command of a part of the fbrees who had “ietreated” from ersecu- Harper s Ferry, and who had been pushed Native forward towards b omuey, ob our readers Americanism ? Who were the Iconoclasts j have learned from ’ omuey, Saturda y’s edition, sent tive, not so much by its own will and might, as by virtue of tlie military legions which it has called into existence and of the will and sentiments of the p« pular masses, whose month piece is the press and whose pleasure is the law, with both < on- g r ess and the Executive. 'I be cities of the North are keenly sensitive to all that affects the piofits of trace; they are cos mopolitan, and comparatively eon.-eiva- tive and tolerant of different opinions. But tb** masses of tlie people, who popu late the rural districts, are less intelligent, more sectional, and m*>ie fanatical and tiuculent towards tlie *outh. If will ic- qnire a longer time before the sentiment which is now takii g hold of the city popu lations can rea* h ihe countiy at-o subdue the mad war fever which is driving the North into such excesses. T lie timper of the North is not to be learned from its cities. T he South has been once mb led by snpposii giliat it could he, and w.ll not repeat the blunder. When our people were told be ore the war that dissolution was inevitable, and that tlie North sympathized wi'li old John Blown, and intended aggression upon the South, the fact was denied by our meichants, who declared that, in tlieir biei nial trips to the Northern cities, they found the merchants enthusiastic in favor of conced ing to the South all her just rights, and cultivating with her relations of cordial friendship and. confidence. I he politicians of the South, who had not been much at Washington, or watched the doings of Abolitionists there, and whose reading was confined to a single political news paper of the re pectalde but obsolete stamp of the Rational Intelligencer, par ticipated in this view ot tlie meichants, and repudiated the war as wildly chimeri cal. It was in vain that the men who knew tin temper of the rural masses, it was in vain that the newspapers who read the feelings and designs of the Northern people in their press, sounoed the notes of alarm, and exlioited the south to prepare for the coming storm. The clouds hr* ke over our heads unawares, thewai found us unprepared. * be South is not to be deceived in like manner again. The cities of tlie Noith may petition their sectional Congress for peace; they may mourn the disasters which the war has brought upon them; they may ciy peccavi, arri. like the prodi gal, impiecate the *ontii for forgiveness and reconciliation; they may weep and wail and gnash their teeth in the lowest depths ot sef-repioach and remoise into w hieh 'hey have fallen, biit it will ail avail nothing (.’imgiess is powetless in the presence ot the armies which those very ciiies have sent into the field. Lii coin and Rew ard themselves aid but mere pup pets, dancing to the motion of these ar mies, and obeying the caprices of the ex cited and fanatical masses of the Northern people. And even ifCongiess and the Executive should give way, the South knows well enough where all power rests in the hostile section, and will never bo deceived again by tlie cities. Thetnith is, this war cannot stop nnt;i it runs it course I: is like a mighty loco motive with train attached that has lost its bleaks and is lushing down a mountain grade. No power can check its dead ca reer. Down it w ill go until it has reached the bottom and rushed on miles beyond. T here is no help or escape for those on board. If they leap overhead they are incontinently dashed to pieches. Tbo only thing to be done is to remain on board, and to take the risks. 'J he Northern cities aiepart and paicelof a mighty move ment, just as headlong and disastrous as that of the doomed train, e They helped to set it in motion. They leaped shouting and exultant on board as it was setting off’ Prayers and petitions will now avail nothing. T hey cannot vote themselves out of the danger as readily as they voted themselves into it. They aie in forth© war, and they must follow it to the death. Their fate is pitiful, but their doom is just. - A Dux*; Nation.-—The New Yoik Day Book says: “A merchant ot this city, whose opinion )• entitled to credit, both from his experience and his sagaciiy, says that “it is useless to deny that a c**mpleio financial wreck of the whole N**r h is iiu viialde. unless something is done when Coc- sreso meet* to bring ahout an honorable peace.” “It is a sad business to walk out in the streets.
