AMERICAN CONFEDERATES.
About 1 o'clock on Wednesday morn

engaged for the occasion, proceeded out
into the river with a puny of police, to
search amongst the passengers of the ship
John R Skiddy, wnich had just arrived
from New York, for armed sympathizing
American confederates. The search was
unsuccessful. Some respectable young
menof.despsrate fortunes, connected with
Dunlin clubs, have gone by the great south
ern and western railways, with a view of
joining the army atblieveimmon mountains,
which they say 3 to be the ultimate head

CASS s. WASHINGTON.
In the following extract from the writings
ol Gen. Cass, Jhe public will see an attempt
Id detract -from the merits of Washington.
Tbe tnoUres "which impelled him to this
mean aftd disgraceful course, are consistent
with bis life and character.' Ever watching
to catch the popular breeze, nnd to avail him
self of all the advantages that arise from
fertility to pouter, he considered it n fine
stroke of policy, inasmuch as it would secure
the approbatton of Jackson and his friend,
the latter of whom were in the habit of ma
king him a greater man than Washington.
It will be recollected that Jackson was even
called, by some of his minions, "the Itock of
Ages !"' Cass could not let such an en slip,
as he considered it a favorable time to build
himself up in the good graces of a political
power, th;t would have nioch control over
the "succession." The extract will speak for
itself:
From Cas&'b " France its King, Court. $c.
M. Guizol has translated the work of Mr.
Sparks containing the biography f writings
qI" Washington, and has prefixed to I his trans
lation ti' memoir, written with great force und
beauty, upon the character ol our illustrious
countryman, and upon the spirit of the times
in which he lived. Many of the prominent
features of the man; and of his age, have
been considered and happily exhibited. Tut
great ehkor and it is a common error in
Europe has been to assign to WASH
INGTON too important a art, and to the
body of the people too insignilicuiit a one, in
our great politic, d drama. Our social con
stitution our present xiH'iul constitution did
not e.risl when Washington wns called to
take the lead in tiie ItevoiuiionJ is an enigma
to the (fid world. Washington in the

the leiuters alone possessed the moral force
which carried our country through hei .strug
gle. But the issue depended on no one man;
and though the peculiar chariic.leii.siiea of
Washington were admirably suited to hist;i
tion and duties, still the great work would
have gone on to its consummation if he ii w
never existed.

IMPORTJST NEWS FROM
BATTLE OF SLIEVENAMON."
GREAT SLAUGHTER OF TROOPS.
MEAGHER AND DILLON WOUNDED.
77ie Englixh General. Mar.dunald Killed.
The Troops Fraternizing with the People.
Secret Correspondence of the Tribune.
We have the following from a loiifidciiti.il
correspondent in Dublin. It is almost too f;k
vorable to the People to be believed, and yet
the blind and inconsistent reports ol the Brit
ish press seem lo giv.; plausibility to our cor
respondi'mas slaleinents. The number of
Ornish troops said to be killed seems exagge
rated. The letter was written in cypher
to evade the vigilance of the British Post Of
fice, which would otherwise have detained it,
but we make the number six Thousand. The
writer would not knowingly deceive the pub
lic. His brother is a resident of this City.
Without further 'comment we subjoin the
letter:
Dublin, Ang. 3, 1848.
No nca,vspnpers here dare tell the truth
concerning the Birille of Slicveiiamon, but
from all we can learn the people have bad a
great Victory. Gen. Maedouald. (he com
mander o the British lorces. is killed, and
six thousand I mops are killed and wouiK-d.
i The road lor three miles is covered with the
(bad. We have also the inspiring hiti lli
oeucc thai Kilkenny and Liuieiiek have been
tHkeu by lb! people. The people of Dublin
have gone in thousands to assist in the ci tin
try. Air. John B. Dillon was wounded in
both legs. ' Mr. .Meagher was also wounded
in both arms. It in ermernlly cxpeci.d that
Dublin will rise and ailack ihe Jails un Sun
day night. (Auif. 6 )
All the people cnuiiig jn on 'he Railroad
are cautioned and' commanded not to h II the
news. When the cars arrive, thousands of
the Dublin people arc waiting lor llie mt. Ili
gence. The Police drive away ihose who
are seen asking questions. Why nil Ibis cm
ol the Government lo prevent llu: spread ol
intelligence, unless il be that Something lias
happened which they want kept as a secret.'
If Ibey bad obtained a victory they would
he very apt lo let us know it.
We are informed lhat the lid BuIIh (a re
giment of infantry ) tnriwduxd fought, witk
the proplr. The liUt Keoiinent. "at Alhlonc.
have also declared tor the people, and two
regiment have been sent to disarm them.
Tile mountain of .Slifvetiainon is almost
inaccessible. Tim re is but one approach lo
it. Il is said to be well supplied wilh provis
ions. Il was a clarions place fir our noble
Smith O'Brien to ta li ct. It is fcaid he lias
sixty thousand men around hint, with a con
siderable supply of anus, ammunition and
cannon. I n 'US ihe rebels could not be I a ken
from Sliev million until they chose to come
out themselves.
A lady who came to town yesterday, and
who had passed the scene of battle, s lid that
lor three miles llie Hench inning from ibr
dead men and horses was almost sutlncntiiig.
Wexford was quite 4pi aci-ahlc till leeentlv
but the government in its inadni-vs pro
claimed it and now it is in anus to a-istst the
cause. Now that we are fairly and s nited
ly al it. are we not worthy of help.' W hat
arc mi doing fir us? I'eoplu of America.

since the blockading of the German ports ort

, Flenniken, our efiarge (TaiTaires near thai
govcriunent, lias succeeded in obtaining front
it special licenses to all American vessels tra'
ding to those ports to pass the blockading
squadrons. These licenses have been cl lim
ed by our charge, because of the remotenewr
of our government from the belligerent par-'
lies, am in order to place our ships upon on
equal fouling with those of the adjacent pow
ers. The Danish government appears to have
exhibited a marked respect to our flag ill this
ma iter, as neither the Russian nor the En
gli'h envoy has been able to procure a sin
gle similar license lor ships of their respec
live nations; while, on the contrary, not a
ninglu American ship has been stopped or re
fused a license. One of the American vessels
.' which obtained a free pass was the Josephine,
j into Swenertiundv-; and another was a vessel
; from Marvin, which had till then been lying
! at Llsiuore. They would pay a large amount
of 8oaiuJ duiies, cargoes of both vessels eon
