Irish Sympathy With America
A correspondent of the Ohio State Journal furnishes
the follow report from a local paper of an enthusiastic demonstration in West
Meath county, Ireland:
The most important demonstration which has taken place
of late years in Ireland, was the Great Mass Meeting held in Mulingar to-day, at
which the pronouncement of the county West Meath and surrounding counties, was
made upon the civil war which now ranges in America. The meeting was convened in
response to a requisition which, in number of signatures and respectability of
requisitionists has not been paralleled in this country. The object of the
meeting was to express sympathy with the Federal Americans, and deprecate any
interference of the London Parliament in the recognition of the Confederates.
The consequence likely to result from such an imposing demonstration, evidently
caused considerable annoyance and apprehension to Government, whose fears were
manifested by the efforts which were made to intermeddle and overawe the people
from responding to the call made upon them. Upward of 500 of the constabulary
were drafted into the county and distributed over the various districts, and on
the eve of the meeting large detachments were dispatched from Dublin.
The meeting was held in Main street, the ample space of
which was filled to its utmost extent. Every district in the adjoining counties
contributed its quota to swell the numbers, and every class was represented on
the occasion.- The farmers from the most distant parts attended, and in many
instances they entered the town in procession, consisting both of pedestrians
and mounted men. The clergy of the Catholic Church gave their countenance and
support of the proceedings, evincing a warm and heartfelt interest in their
issue. The attendance numbered between 25,000 and 35,000 and was so vast that it
went over the bounds of the place of meeting and several thousand persons were
unable to obtain room. The greatest enthusiasm was exhibited on the part of the
whole assemblage. Resolutions of sympathy with the United States were passed by
acclamation. The immense crowd cheered lustily for President Lincoln, General
Shields, Meagher, and Corcoran. The weather was rather unpropitious but nothing
seemed to damp the ardor of the vast mass present.
A COPPERHEAD PROBABLY KILLED!- D.C. Bishard, writing
to his sister in this city, from Pleasantville, Marion county, makes the
following statement:
"On Wednesday night of last week, while driving
the stage, I met three fellows on horseback about three miles from
Pleasantville. They had been to a secesh meeting, and were going home. They
stopped me and asked me if I was for Jeff Davis! I told them that I was not.-
They said they would make me hurrah for Jeff Davis. I told them they couldn't do
that thing. They then began to swear and drew their revolvers. As it happened
there were two soldiers in the stage, who overheard the threats of the rebels.
The soldiers slipped quietly out of the stage and one of them discharged his
pistol at one of the fellows. I guess he must have been struck, for he groaned,
and let his revolver fall on the ground. He then started off, as fast as his
horse could carry him. The other two followed in a hurry, with the bullets of
the soldiers flying after them. I have got the rebel's revolver and intend to
keep it. I passed the place, on the following day, and saw blood on the ground.
It is believed he was killed, for a strange, new-made grave has been discovered
in the grave yard."-- State Register.
A COOLING EFFECT- AS the crowd gathered on the levee on Sunday to witness the departure of the Canada with her freight of heroic Iowa soldiers a few-very few, we believe-spectators were sporting copperhead breastpins the better to exhibit their rebel sympathies. Learning this, a soldier walked off the boat and drawing up his sleeves, advanced toward the crowd with inquiring gaze, saying in tones of unmistakable earnestness: "They say there are copperheads here, now I'm just ready to thrash any man that dares to wear a copperhead pin; so come on." The effect of this short speech was instantaneously frigid.- The poor copperheads were suddenly suffering from cold and buttoned their coats close up to their traitorous throats. Nary pin could be seen. [ Davenport Gazette.
BRIGADIER GENERAL.- A correspondent of the Gate City, writing from Washington, states that Col. Hugh Reid, of Keokuk, commander of the 15th Iowa Infantry, has been promoted to the position of Brigadier General.
CAUGHT- A paroled prisoner, named Lafayette McClung, was arrested at Covington [Linn co] on the 29th ult., on his way to the South with a rebel mail. Some of the letters were opened and were found to implicate residents in Covington in the treasonable crime of forwarding information of military movements in Kentucky to the traitors. They will have use for the gallows about Covington shortly.
THE OQUAWKA ROBBERY- Charles Davis, and Charles Hendricks, two of the men who were arrested for the recent robbery of the post office at Oquawka, were examined before U.S. Commissioner Hoyne, at Chicago, on Saturday last, and held to answer on the charge at the next term of the U.S. Court, and committed in default of bail in the sum of $2,000.
DIED IN HOSPITALS- The Warden in the General Hospitals at
La Grange, Tenn., has sent a list of the soldiers who have died therein from
their establishment to the 15th of March. The following are those who belonged
to Iowa Regiments:

CAMP OF 25TH IOWA VOL. INF'TRY,
YOUNG'S POINT, LA., March 14, 1863.
A meeting of the officers of the 25th Iowa Infantry was
convened this evening for the purpose of expressing their sentiments concerning
the death of Lieut. S. Kirkwood Clark, Adjutant, who was wounded at the battle
of Arkansas Post, January 11th, and died at St. Louis, February 20th, 1863.
On motion, Capt. J.G. Newbold of Co. "C" was called
to the Chair and Lieut. Sam'l W. Snow, Co. "E", appointed Sec'y.
On motion of Col. Stone, a committee of three were appointed
to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. Capt. Jno. N. Bell
Co "E", Lieut. J.B. Ritner, Co. "B" and Lieut. A.J. Withrow
Co "C" were appointed and reported the following preamble and
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We have heard with deep and heart felt sorrow of the
death of Lieut. S.K. Clark, Adjutant of this Regiment, at St. Louis, February
20th, 1863, therefore be it
Resolved, That while we recognize in the God of Battle a
power more potent than the Surgeons skill, or the nurses solicitude and while we
acknowledge the supreme wisdom of our Great Commander, we deeply feel the loss
of one so brave, so generous, so patriotic as our late companion-in-arms,
Adjutant S.K. Clark.
Resolved, That in his former service as 2nd Lieut. in the 4th
Iowa Cavalry, and his services since as Adjutant of the 25th Iowa Infantry
against the enemies of the Union he has evinced that chivalrous, patriotic and
honorable spirit which can animate none other than a genuine lover of his
country and its cause.
Resolved, That in times like these when treason lifts its
hydra head in the midst of our homes and threatens alike in front and rear, our
sorrow at the death of such a man is deepened and intensified, feeling as we do
that his loss is almost irreparable.
Resolved, That to his relatives and many friends at home, we
tender our heart-felt sympathies.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his
relatives and a copy placed among the Regimental records. Also copies furnished
to the Hawk-Eye, Iowa City Republican and Mt. Pleasant Home Journal for
publication.
Respectfully
submitted.
JNO. N. BELL,
Chairman.
A.J. WITHROW,
J.B. RITNER.
Col. Geo. A. Stone made a few remarks relative to the
efficiency, patriotism and generosity of the late Adjutant Clark, he having
known him longer than any other present, and his testimony to departed worth met
the deep felt affirmation of all present.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
J.G. NEWBOLD,
Chairman.
SAM. W. SNOW, Sec'y.
DROWNED. - We learn from Mr. Root, of Keosauqua, the
painful intelligence that two men, Thomas Zurk and Morris Brown were drowned in
the Des Moines on Sunday night, while crossing in a skiff. There were five in
the boat, two of whom were pulling it over by a rope stretched across the river,
when the bottom of the boat - which was a crazy old thing - gave out and the
three who were sitting down were let into the river, one of whom swam down the
river and was picked up; and the other two, named above, were drowned. Their
bodies were recovered during the night. The two who had hold of the rope made
their way to shore by means of it.
The two who were lost were worthy citizens of Van Buren
county, Mr. Brown being the principal dependence of the family- his father and
brother being in the army. -- [ Gate City.

A Thrilling and Affecting Incident.
A.Z. Reeve, of the Iowa army, gives the following thrilling
incident in a letter to his brother. The letter was forwarded to us by a kind
friend in the 32d Infantry.
GERMANTOWN, Tenn., March 12, '63
We have been here about six weeks, protecting the railroad.
Colonel Richardson, a rebel guerilla, has been hovering in the vicinity for some
time, capturing foraging parties, and tearing up the road whenever opportunity
offered. When pursued, he retreats to the swamps, and his command, dispersing in
small squads, generally evade attempts to discover them. To make the matter
worse, they frequently dress in Federal uniform.
On the morning of the 9th of this month our regiment and the
Fourth Illinois Cavalry started out with a guide for the retreat of the
guerillas. Before we reached the rebel camp, the 6th Illinois Cavalry, with
flying artillery attached, attacked the rebels from the opposite side-killed 25
of them, took some prisoners, and burned the camp and garrison equipage. In
their headlong stampede, the rebels came will nigh running into our hands. While
in hot pursuit, we came to the residence of one Robert C. Forbes, who,
intrenching himself in the house, commenced firing on our flankers as they
approached. The flankers then charged on the house, effected an entrance, and
discovered that Forbes had taken shelter in an upper chamber. The desperate man
was called on to surrender but refused. He had already killed one member of the
4th Illinois, and had wounded another. He, also, had received a wound in the
right arm which disabled him to such an extent that he could not load his
gun.--His wound was received by a shot fired up through the floor. Still the
desperate man refused to yield. As a last resort the house was set on fire. This
compelled the man to come down, but he still obstinately refused to surrender.
He was immediately surrounded by the exasperated soldiers who refrained from
shooting him on account of the certainty of shooting their comrades.-- Meanwhile
the old man clubbed his gun, and although his arm was badly lacerated and
bleeding, he ferociously kept the soldiers at bay. At length one of the officers
ordered the soldiers opposite him to get away, and give him a chance to shoot
the old Secession Scoundrel!"
At these words the gun dropped down from the old man's hands
and he earnestly inquired:
"Is it possible? Have I been fighting Union soldiers all
this time?"
"Of course, we are Union soldiers," replied the
officer.
"My God! why didn't I know this before?" said the
old man, in a voice of agony: "I am a Union man, too. I thought I was
fighting Richardson's guerillas!"
The soldiers did not believe him at first, but in brief time
he proved to them beyond all dispute that there was no counterfeit Unionism
about him. He had been an incorruptible patriot during the war. At the outbreak
of the Rebellion, he has been arrested by Confederate authority and placed in
chains. His crime consisted in telling the rebels that they were traitors and
deserved hanging. When General Hurlbut passed through this part of the country,
the old man joined him, but came back occasionally to see his family. He was on
a brief furlough from the Federal army when the raid was made on his house.
Richardson had sworn vengeance against him, and he had resolved never to be
taken alive.--Owing to the fact that the guerillas were in the habit of prowling
about in Federal uniform, the old man was led to mistake our soldiers for
rebels.
The explanation came too late to save the house. It was
consumed with all its contents. There was not a quilt left to defend the mother
and children from the cold.--They had fled from the burning buildings just in
time to save their lives. It was a sad spectacle. The old man begged to be taken
along with us. He told his wife to get to the Federal lines as soon as possible.
A braver and truer man to his country does not exist than Robert C. Forbes. I
gave the mother and children $10 in greenbacks, and my blanket. The other
soldiers contributed to relieve the distresses of the family. Many sympathizing
tears were shed by us all. I have not witnessed a scene so affecting since my
enlistment. --[ Des Moines Register.
FIRE - A fire broke out in the upper story of the building
occupied by O. Robinson, as a Grocery Store, on Saturday last, about 11 o'clock.
The fire had made considerable progress when discovered. The alarm was given and
hundreds of citizens rallied to the spot and with hard work and considerable
difficulty extinguished the flames which had begun to burst from the roof and
sides of the building. The principal damage was to the building and to the
furniture and carpets in the Odd Fellow's Hall, in which the fire originated.
Great credit is due those of our citizens and people from the country, who
labored so effectually to prevent its progress.-- Wapello Republican, 14th.
MARRIED.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 14th, 1863, at the
residence of the bride's father, in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, by Rev. Geo. B.
Jocelyn, D.D. Lieutenant WARREN BECKWITH, formerly of Rochester, N.Y., and Miss
LUZENIA W., daughter of Colonel A.B. PORTER.
DIED.
In this City, on the 14th last, ROSALTA, wife of J.G.
RANKIN, aged 26 years.
Last night, at 8 o'clock, Dr. F. HEISE, aged 45 years.
On Wednesday evening, of Typhoid Fever, Mr. A.M. DERBY, in
the 43d year of his age.
BURGLARY - ONE OF THE ROBBERS CAUGHT AND CAGED.- A couple
of burglars entered the house of Mr. Barhydt and attempted to get into Mr.
Taylor's and, perhaps, other houses in North Burlington, Monday night. At Mr.
Barhydt's they stole an overcoat and a gold watch, which have not yet been
recovered. About 3 o'clock in the morning they undertook to enter the front door
of Mr. Joy's house.- He heard them, got up quietly, got his revolver, and
while the scoundrels were working at the lock, opened the door and fired upon
them. They fled down Seventh street, making the best time in their power,
yelling "murder," Mr. Joy in hot pursuit, crying "Stop
thief!" and firing at the lump whenever he could see to do so with any
reasonable chance of hitting. Soon the fellows separated, one of them going
through an alley, firing at Mr. Joy once.- Devoting his attention entirely to
the one that came down Seventh Street, Mr. Joy soon overtook and captured him,
taking from him an iron bolt with which he attempted to defend himself. The
neighborhood being aroused, a light and a rope were procured, and Mr. Burglar
was snugly in jail in less than twenty minutes.
The capture of this burglar was one of the
most dangerous enterprises that we have heard of lately, and its complete
success shows Mr. Joy not only to have courage, but strength of arm and
fleetness of foot, for the race extended two or three squares and was one of the
most exciting on record, and the burglar was hurled to the ground, disarmed and
tied in a twinkling, after all the loads had been fired from the revolver, not
one of which had taken effect.
But the affair had its ludicrous feature.- Mr. Joy made the
run in his shirt and drawers, barefooted and bareheaded.
The other burglar made his escape and has not been heard of.
We hope our officers may be able to find him; but the presumption is that they
will not, for we have no recollection of a burglar having ever before been
caught in Burlington.
IRISH VOLUNTEERS. - The Liverpool Albion of the 19th of
March says: "For some time past it has been observed that from this port
and also from Cork, there has been a considerable, rather, indeed, a large
emigration of strong, active young men, chiefly Irish, for New York. The extent
to which this draft has been and is still carried gives rise to suspicion that
these young men are in reality recruits for the Federal army. This suspecion
[sic] is further countenanced by the well known fact that for a long time past
agents of the Federal Government have been at work in Ireland, endeavoring
surreptitiously to obtain recruits. The Federal Government makes so much noise
about our alleged assistance to the Confederates that it would be as well their
own proceedings were watched more closely. We believe that Government is in
possession of facts confirmatory of the rumor respecting the movements of
Federal agents in Ireland."
The Distress in Ireland.
Mr. Hugh McCall, publisher of one of the Belfast journals,
thus writes to the London Times regarding the distress existing in the north of
Ireland:
You are aware, sir, that a number of noble-hearted men in New
York and Philadelphia, in addition to the gifts of money contributed to
Lancashire, recently loaded three vessels with different varieties of food and
sent them to Liverpool, the flour, Indian corn, and provisions which formed
their cargoes to be distributed among the sufferers by the cotton famine. Under
the auspices of a leading mercantile house in Liverpool, the Committee of the
Lisburn Cotton Operatives' Relief Fund, applied to Mr. Daniel James, Chairman of
the Liverpool Committee of the International Relief Committee, for a portion of
the cargo of the good ship George Griswold, and after some correspondence on the
subject, having given full statements of the great extent of country over which
our relief districts ran, we had the gratification to learn that 700 barrels of
flour had been allocated to our Committee. Besides that munificent gift, our
friends in Liverpool sent over last week 167 bags of Indian corn, with a request
that one portion of the lot should be handed over to the poor weavers of
Ballymacarett, another to the Committee of the distressed operatives in
Newtownards, and the remainder to be kept for the use of the poor people in and
around Lisburn.
It may be asked what have we been doing with the funds so
amply poured in on us, for the aid of the suffering? In reply I have to state
that we have at present an aggregate of above 1000 families on the inspectors'
and sub committees' books.- These people receive weekly rations of meal and
coal, and in a great many cases they have been supplied with blankets. Others
again have obtained from the ladies' committee various articles of clothing, the
total number of persons so attended to being about 600. I regret to state, in
reference to the condition of the great mass of operatives in this quarter, that
it is not only much more unsatisfactory than it was at the commencement of the
year, but that, so far as can be seen into the future, there is little hope for
improvement- at least for a long time to come. The Belfast manufacturers are
doing very little in the way of production, and the Glasgow houses, who have
agents for the giving out of work here, have been gradually lessening their
extent of business.
In the rural districts many weavers are getting work in
fields, but even in that case an evil arises in their competing in the labor
market with the ordinary class of farm operatives, thus in some degree bringing
down the latter to the level of their own state. Weavers who are employed cannot
earn more than that which would give a 6d a head to their families. I have
before me a list supplied by one of the members of the ladies' committee and one
of the 30 persons named in that list, only one is reported as earning 7s. a week
of gross-say about ?s. net income. Several of them range so low as 3s. and
others again only 2s. 6d. a week. Embroiderers, who in brisk times could have
made 5s. or 6s. and in a few cases, 8s. shillings weekly, at the sewed muslin
work, could barely realize half the lowest of those sums; and another class, the
tambourers, cannot exceed 1s. 6d. a week on the average. In this I refer to the
employed, who would now be about one in ten of those in constant work some years
ago.
Were it not for the comparative prosperity existing in the
several departments of the linen trade, the state of the people as a whole would
be lamentable in the extreme. Even as it is, the cotton weavers are much worse
off than they were in the spring of 1857.
