Copy of a private letter from Enniscorthy. 'Dear friend, this is the first opportunity I have had of informing you of our deplorable situation: you cannot form any idea of the devastation of this town. On Whitsun Monday, after firing 33 rounds, and with my own hand sending 15 rebel wretches into eternity, I received a wound in the head, which fractured my skull; but Providence enabled me to escape to Wexford, and from that to Waterford, where I have been in an hospital. I am not more than half recovered, and am not worth more than one single shilling on earth: my house was burned, and the walls levelled. My father's place at Monart is burned, and he, my brother John, and John Burt, were butchered in cold blood after the battle was over. Your father-in-law, and an old friend met the same fate.

The former fell at the Duffrey gate, bravely fighting for his country, and is buried in the garden, at Mr Nunn's big house at the Cross-roads. While the rebels had the town in their possession, they put above 240 Protestants to death on Vinegar-hill. Not one thatched house in Enniscorthy or Templeshannon but has been burned.'

ON THURSDAY evening, the Monthly Meeting of the parochial branch of the Temperance Society was held at Mr Lane's store in the lower village. . . The object of the Society was to raise men from a state of bestiality, indeed a state worse than that of bestiality, for beasts never drank to excess . . . and when man was sunk into this state, and when an effort was made to extricate him from it, this is a work not to be treated with derision. (hear, hear. ) There are now various plans proposed for the improvement of Ireland, but none could benefit the country while habits of intemperance so prevailed, for no Government can rule a drunken people, and no prosperity can make them happy. (hear. ) But a sober people become a thinking people, a thinking people become a working and industrious people, and an industrious people become in time a well conducted and an orderly people. While the working classes in any country continue to indulge in habits of drunkenness, the Government cannot, it need not, do any thing for them . . .but when the Working classes become sober and diligent, every thing connected with their condition then becomes deservedly a subject of deep interest to their rulers. . . A drunken people cannot make ploughs . . . a drunken people cannot excel in mechanical efforts . . .a drunken people cannot cultivate the ground . . . but sobriety leads to habits of self control, of thought, of consideration of foresight, & of diligence . . . and if by means of the Temperance reformation the habits of the Irish people be thus happily changed, Ireland will have enough to feed all its inhabitants, and enough too for all the purposes of enterprise.
