YANKEE BOUNCE.

The 'New York Herald' of the sth February has a strong article on the Alabama claims, and in addition sprinkles its columns of the same issue with the follow-

ing assorted squibs : A question for the Geneva Conference. —ls the loss of the American commercial marine not worth considering ? The Irish English haters would swallow Canada while we settled with old England

ourselves. We shall not want for volunteers in a war with England. There are two million able-bodied Irishmen here longing for a chance. Canada will get into the American Union if the Tinted Slates goes to war with England. Good for the Canadians. A happy chance.

The battle of Dorking would be an American, not a Prussian Victory, in case of a war with England. The Cockney prophet made a mistake. Privateering on the ocean is a game at which two can play, as England will find out, perhaps, before the Alabama claim case is finally settled. No backing down.—We are satisfied to leave our case to impartial arbitration, and will accept of no other than a just and honorable settlement.

The warrior castes of India.—Looschais, Affghans, Sepoys, and others—would soon hear of, the occurrence of war betweeh.thel Americans and England. The Russians and the Chinese would inform them of the fact.

If the Irish wish for home liberation instead of home rule under England, perhaps they will obtain it, as one result of a war Between the American Government and England, on the subject of the Alabama claims.

We could drive English commerce from the seas in three months if we had a- war with England. "We should then solve the question of American shipbuilding without Congress tinkering the tariff. If we go to war with England it would settle all troubles about tariffs. Every manufacturer in the land would rejoice. Pennsylvania and pig iron would rejoice. War with England means the triumphant development of native industry. A war with England would settle the fishery question. Joy to Ben Butler and Cape Cod. Our fishermen would man the privateers. That would abolish the three mile limit. Lord Mayo and Lord Napier of Magdala would have plenty of work in India should the Alabama claims question bring about a war between Great Britain and America.

We would manufacture our cotton in case of a war with England. The pauper labor of Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Sheffield would be driven into revolution for bread. If they went into the army they would be food for our powder.

War with England means annexing Canada. We would send the British flag after the British troops that forgot it in *"- the New Dominion. It means freedom • and commercial life for the Kanucks. and new stars for our banner. The invasion of England has been a . question the possibility of which Englishmen deny since the days of Bonaparte. With the aid of seven millions of Irish enemies within the British Isles we think it could be answered in the affirmative. An American fleet, backed by an army of democratic volunteers marching through Canada, could liberate 2« ewfoundland from British rule in case of war. It would ber

come au, important point in our hands, giving us almost the command of the route from Europe this way. From Australasia we have new advices, overland by telegraph from San Erancisco,

which shows that the export of wool from the Antipodes to the United States is becoming a heavy item in the colonial commerce. What becomes of Australia in the event of a war between England arid America? Would she come voluntarily into the Union or be forcedan?

The emigration from Ireland to the shores of the American Republic is already, in very full volume, despite the stormy weather. The Irish have perhaps sniffed the approach of a war storm between the United States and England, and wish to be on the right side; —that of justice, freedom, and equity. ' ■ ' Should the United States go to war with England about the "Alabama claims, the British Government will put a stop to emigration to this country. The skilled laborers of the United Kingdom—carpenters, masons, and other handicraftsmen—who come away now will be here just in the " nick of time."

Direct losses by the rebel privateers.— Bead the schedule of losses inflicted onoo r commerce by the rebel cruisers. In succeeding issues similar concoctions come in pattering drops like the tail end of a shower..
