We have been publishing what France d England tbink of our imbroglio ; let "s now lmve a little Irish thought : From the Dub' in Nfttton, June 8. ' 1 11 E FBATRIC1 UAL WAR. As the news from America flows in, the gnagft d tho NorthtoricM and otthevr irnul.s tends more and more to disgunt 4 ttutrage all who hold the eacred faith flnnmai freedom, and t make them weep poignant nf?rtificatiori and deep despair. ..ii-.iy we despair of popular liberty in tfsciicc -of the sight the world sees to day. Republican people, whose liberties were by a rebellion, whose independence 'a8ac!A.ved by a secession, parrot as gnn Jnj minionsof old world tyranny "rc .d the 'rebellion" as phrases ot '1"n and reproach Th jse who profess "MI sacred the popular will, to rercr fn' tlie.dHire for self-government, pro Ning t0 di-own the popular will in blood, f M) answer for Hclf-govcrument by Wtliery- and daughter. . ."

Uut in a great confede ration of Kepublican States, in a system based on i the will of tho peoplo based on the right of rebellion that till this should happen that we now sec-tliut no tyranny or des potism of all Europe ever drew tho sword more sava;eff to put down tho "rcbollion" and trample upchi the voice of the people, than this same Central trovernnient of a Republican Confederation it is cnouiih to wring the heart of any man who believ ed in the greater humauity and toleration of popular governments. ; Well may the despotic monarchy laugn in bitter mock cry at those who believe that a people rul ing themselves would never spill blood in popular subjugation and such murders were done by kings and despots of Old Europe! V, It is a hideous sarcasm of republican ism to hear the journals of the Northern States yelling tor t he blood of t'.io "rebels" for their utter subjugation and destruc tion J '"Wo mean to conquer them," says ; he New To k Tribune, "not merely to de feat, but to conquer, to subjugate them." 'Hut when the rebellious traitors arc over whelmed in the field", and- ECittered like leaveaTerore'a n 'angry wind, it must not be to return to pcacelul and conUiitcd homes. They must find poverty at their firesides and eea privation in thi..anxiuus eyes of mothers' and the rags oi children. Were ever mure hellish senHments utter ed? Where, iu the annals of despotism or the records of butcheries, bhallwe seek lor a parallel to this ? Where even a- rainst rebels who had not a particle ' cf just'.ficaMoii ! If tho subjects of the most legitimate sovereign that ever held a ?ccp ter had acted as the Southern Sts t s have done, would these sentiments not bo in famies, if uttered on his part ?

Wo shall be told that the South had no rio-ht to secede ; therefore, the war upon itls justiSablc. A hen England made war on her rebellious American Colonies, she siiid thev had no riht to 'scctde," and that, therefore, that war was Justifiable. We shall be told that the South can er hibit 'no wrongs to justify rebellion. The jtanic was held by those who sought to crush the colonics in their struggle for an', .riwprniiiei.t. But why should we be ! called upon by Republicans to consider these points at, an 4 "ivv . told, as the Republican principle, that the subjects of a State themselves, and no one else are to be judges, whether they have provocation, justification or right, . Yet, let. us consider that the case of the South as regards its right to secede, is far stronger than was that of the American Colonics to rebel. Under the old mon archical System no such right was ever tolcratcd-na such principle ever heard of as 'tho voice of the population" deter mining the justice, legitimacy or duration of a Government.. The American Colonies originated under the monarchical system. They had never claimed or possessed the attributes of independent, sovereign ?....' t...

Whether they pqsss the ri:bt so to terminate the connection, is neither as serted nor denied by the-deed of Union. This silence is claimed by each tide in the quarrel as favorable to its own case. IJpoii W'hbL side in tbe o-luction4iiay bo said to weigh, is no doubt, a nice and intricate question for political doctrinaries and hair-splittinj; controversialists. But what we have to say is this : that it is something more than mouruful.it is mons trous, it is an outrage and a disgrace to humanity, that on a point which may be ruled either way, thevshocking spectacle must be seen of torrents of blood being niade to flow in the !uiqucst the sub- j ugat ion-of I li osc i ndipenden t State, w ho merely asktor sell-government anu nee dtmi to decide their own destinies I We say that, in the face of such a unanimous determinntion fur secessions right or wrong, according to cpnst ruction of con stitutional technicalities this bloody war to force union on tbeouthern people at tho point of the sword to 6aber' them into brotherhood, and dragoon them into 'lib erty I is a. blot to Wumanity. We can. not pause to weinh the niceties of the rival constructions of the silence of the deed of Union with reference to the right of seces sion. We tarn in disgust from- all - th'n,- denyiiig that the proof at best can be plain enough to reepncil : us to thisbu.oheiy butciiery to be done, let us remember not by kings, or autocrats, but, by republican advocaVes of popular liberty themselves the offsnriiiL' of rebellion ! We have often enough and clearly enough declared our uixiety that the great Republic of Anier ica might be saved J'rtmi dismemberment ; but far greater is ot anxiety for the sake of t'h j hideous reproach it involves to j-op- u'ar liberty that it may be saved ! on . . .. . l i the hornoic crime or lorcm- embrace upon any Mate at tnc exiensu ui ruthless slaughter by fire and sword ! AMalierotTrtsle, Afair correspondent, whose commiiiiicv tion willbc found elsewhere, exprcssess her pointed indignation at the practice (limited heretofore, wc tbink, and to be still more limited hereafter, we hope) of passing by the lovely and warm-hearted girls of the South, and going for wives to the overstocked matrimonial nruket of Yankecdom.- There arc some vices that bring their own punishment. There arc some follies of such a nature that we feel juueh more disposed to pity than to deride those who commit them. 7 Justice,- per haps, would be amply vindicated, if we left the eccentric class to whom our cor respondent refers to the consequences. ot indulging a perverted k-crted taste.; ve wouiu ' be sorry to think that they were coveted bv Southern women, whose cliarma tncy had overlooked, or envied by Southern men who were not iu the saiuc situation A7.

The fame acquired by these illustrious Southern chieftains, by their victory on the desperate but brilliant field of Man assas, thereby pievcnting the enemy from, reaching, and in all probability sacking, the Capital of the Confederacy, is destin ed to become world wide and endure for ages. The praise of the science, skill and consummate generalship displayed by them on that mcmbl.ejhjyjaj fined to the South. Even the Northern journalists at least so jras we have ob- served; and we have reaf many ot their statements in their frenzy of disappoint ment and rage at the result of tho great ba'tle, eanuot withhold their meed of praise of the superior generalship of Beauregard and Johnson j indeed, the leading excuse of these writers for the defeat that "befell the Northern army on the 21st, is the su periority of the Southern over theNorth ern Gcnerajp. . . In regard to Beauregard and Johnson, whose abilities -as military commanders the North has acknowledged, and whose valor and prowess caused them a defeat which they will never forget, we present tho subjoined article from the.

Great in plan ning a battle, he is equally Lravc and in vincible in lighting it out. Jn the artillery aim of the service, which - is his sp.c'.al depart ment, he is without an e(tual on the eintiuent.

Gifted with the lcarn-i in" of his profession, hc.is able to," avail himself of all the lights which scivnee and universal experience in the art of war can furnish. The rare combination of qualifications possessed by our Southern General bears a striking resemblance to tnat possessed by the-gi eat Napoleon, who excelled in the sciencc"and practice of artillery, was thoroughly vcrsedin all the details of mili tary sciencc,and superadded to these e.-usn-tial advantages of ed-acation tt-dauntlcss soul and heroic courage, which in tho heat of bat th-. bore down all opposition and wrested victory from the wavering - hand of fortune.

How long will it bo before the cry of "Bread or Jilood" is heard in New York ' city, when already such scenes as are des cribed below, by tho Jounvil of Commerce j of therlGth, are witnessed in the streets . of that doomed metropolis! A largo nunaber of hungry women with babies in their arms, gathered on Monday in front of the branch office of the Union defense committee, No. 14 Fourth avenue, expecting aid from the committee. That ) office not haying been reopened, tho half famished creatures maichcd, two by two, -to flic City Hall iu search of the mayor,'.' who was not there.

One - of : them threatened to drown herself and child.; Another said she was willing to starve, but her baby -should J.avo food eyee if she stole it. A third stated that she would never have allowed her son to crflist (in the Mozart Regiment) if he had not been promised that his mother would rccieve $2 a w?ck from the city. These frantic expression ot grief and rage wero at last silenced by one of the mayor's clvrks, who directed the poor: women to the rooms of the Union Defense committee, in Pino street. Thither they went, and rushed into the .apartment, cryin'g out "We arc starving, we vaiit money." General Wctmorc, secretary of the Committee kinly explained to thb clamorous crowd that there was no money on luud but that several gentlemen were trying to raise some, and would probably be ready to relieve them in a day or two., lie advised them to . go home. This advice, though undeniably well meant, did not fill empty stomach?, and the poor women contiuued to plead for money and J : food, alternating their entreaties with execrations upon the war, the committee and the city authorities for a long time; Finally, finding that their iniplorations availed nothing, they one. after another withdrew, from tho committee's rooms, ) to seek for cold charity in" the streets or to go home and starve. . i!
