?!(t fail® Jjttss. City Printer—OfflcUl Paper LARGEST A V<♦ ÜBT A . > * A . : TUESDAY MORSINU Nov.fi, 1860 The Fenian Conviction* in Canada. A* we anticipated and predicted, the Fenian moreraent ha* only resulted in trouble to Ireland and «orro« to the innocent dupe* of that unhappy move ment. In the old country, martial law, arbitrary arrests, and imprisonment in loathsome jails, hare been the result— in Canada, trials and condemnation to death of innocent men. There can ba no doubt that Rov. Mr. McMahon, a Catholic l'riest, and Mr. Lynch, a news paper reporter, are l>oth innocent ot the charges of participation in the invasion of Canada. The tirst was with the in vaders, it is true, but in the discharge of his religious duties, and therefore, no violator of any law. The second was also with them, but in the discharge of his professional duties as a newspaper reporter, and, therefore, not a party to the invasion. Yet both have been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to death. To execute either or both would be a blot upon the civilization of the age and character of Great Britain. We do not believe, there!* re that the sentence es the Court will be executed. Our readers, or at least some of them, will remember the trials in Ire land, some years ago, when Smith O'Brien and others were found guilty of treason, and sentenced to be “ hung, drawn, and quartered !’’ But the sen tences were commuted to bunishment to the penal colonies, and even that, after a few years’ service, was remitted. We believe that the same policy will be pursued in regard to the Fenian prison" ers. They will be either pardoned or have their sentences commuted to a term of imprisonment. In the cases of McMahon aud Lynch, justice demands that they should be pardoned. They are guilty of no offence, and being inno cent, ought not to suffer imprisonment for merely being with an illegal enter prise, while the guilty leaders ot that enterprise are set free. The leaders of the Fenian organiza tion have done a grievous tvtong. How ever good their motives, and well laid their plans, they have shown the most egregious folly, and the most reckless disregard of the lives of those whom they have thus misled. They have escaped, while the innocent have been caught, to suffer for the errors of others. It is lamentable that the threats and bullyings of those leaders will affect no good to the unfortunate prisoners. It will only tend to make their unhappy late more certain, and to counteract the good which wise and prudent counse' and intercession might otherwise effect. This intercession has already been made by our excellent President, and will, no doubt, have the desired effect, if the de nunciations of the Fenian leaders in New York can only be stopped. It may be inconsistency on (he part < f our Governmeut to appeal for clemei c/ and mercy to the Fenian prisoners in Canada, while we have a State prisoner within the dungeon walls of Fortress Monroe denied his freedom or even the justice of a trial ; but let us hope that the spirit which evoked that appeal for mercy is.one which will rule the hear s of Nations and of Government, that magnanimity wi l take the pla. e of ven. geance ; clemency and mere of harsh ness and vindictiveness, and that ti e prison doors of political oflenders will b ■ thrown open, so that they may walk forth into the air of freedom, the re- | cioients of National kindness and for- I giveness. It is a spirit which will do I more to strengthen the hands of Gov ernments and to suppress rebellions, ! than can all the gibbets, guillotines, unit garrotes in the world. Jt is a spirit which should prevail. Amnesty and Forgiveness. The Lynchburg Virginian, of Oct. 31st, says: In the letter recently ad dressed by the Secretary of State Mr. Seward, to H. B. M. Minister, Sir Fred erick liruce, the following passage oc curs : 4 “Finally I deem it proper to say that the offences involved in these trials are in their nature eminently political. It is the opinion of this government that sound policy coincides with the best im pulses of a benevolent nature in recom mending tenderness, amnesty , and for gice ness in such cases. This suggestion is made with freedom and earnestness, because the same opinions were pro posed to us in our recent civil war by all the governments and publicists of Europe, and by none of them with great er frankness and kindness than by the government and statesmen of Great Britain, lam very sure that you will find tbat the recommendations of a policy of clemency and forgiveness in the case of the parties concerned, uru in entire harmony with all the suggestions and representations which tins government has made to her Majesty's Government, in regard to the nggressions which have been made on the Canadian frontier, and that they are also in harmony with the proceedings that the government has thought it just, wise, and prudent to pursue in regard to the violation of its own neutrality law, which was involved in these agressions." We do not propose to question either the philanthropy or the wisdom of the sentiments thus announced by the head of the State Department of our Govern ment, hut to call attention to the glaring discrepancy which exists between these principles ami the practice of our Gov ernment. Mr. Seward here explicitly declares it to be the “ opinion of the Government that sound policy coin cides with the best impulses of a benevo lent nature in recommending tender ness, amnesty, and forgiveness ” in cases when tile ofteiiffes are of a politi cal character, arid yet this same Govern meat saneftons (lie punishment by in carceration for an indefinite period o one who has been .guilty of 116 offence other than a political one. •*«•> »»• sum mg that any offence at all h»* been committed against the lawa of the coun try. Mr. Davis still languishes in the walls of his atone casemato at Fortress Monroe, aud th« utmost effort* of hi* family, his friends, and his counsel are unavailing to bring him even to trial. I*gal, technical, and every other kind of impediment is interposed to prevent even a trial lor the offences of which he stands charged. For all we can see, there it no better prospect of a speedy trial now, than existed at the time of his incarceration, lie is apparently doomed in advance of trial to imprisonment for life, and the most sacred provision of the hill of rights and the organic laws of the country ore openly ignored. If “am nesty and forgiveness" are so clearly in dicated ns the proper policy to be pur sued with regard to the Fenian prison ers, with how much greater force are thev urged in behalf ot Mr. Davis. The Fenians, howover laudable their motives and objects may have been, invaded the territories of a friendly power without any declaration of hostility, without any note of warning, and levied war on the people of that country. They pretended to have no griev ances, private or political, to redress, so far as Canada was concerned; they seemed to have no correct conception of the mode by which their purposes were to be accomplished, bus with a vague idea that an invasion of Canada would be detrimental to British interest, they madly sought to inflict the injury with out regard to the sufferings and miseries their enterprise must necessarily entail ou a people who were certainly responsi ble for none of the woes with which Ire land has been visited. There was with them no attempt to carry out the great principle that the consent of the gov erned is an essential prerequisite to all just governments. They could not and did not appeal to the political dogma which has been regarded os an axiom in America since the revolution, that the people of a country had the prescriptive 1 right to alter or abolish a form of gov ernment which had.become tfnerous aud oppressive. None of these extenuating circumstances surrounded the Fenian invasion, and when those who pnrtici pated in this wild and visionary crusade are likely to suffer the penalties of their acts, our Government strongly inter poses in their behalf; counsels amnesty, and eloquently urges the efficacy of ten derness and forgiveness for political offences. Mr. Davis does not even ask forgive ness—he desires and demands only jus tice—if guilty of treason under the law, let him be tried by the law, and pun ished in accordance with law. but not uulil after conviction —it a jury of his peers—not a jury packed by Under wood—shall, alter a fair trial, convict — then let punishment come; but it is an outrage at which civilization and hu manity alike revolt, that one, wtjo, what ever may have been bis errors, occu pied a most commanding position iu the civil, military, and political history i should be treated with the rigor meted out to a condemned felon, when he has been convicted ot no crime, and who only asks that he may receive that speedy and impartial triul to which, niftier the laws of the country, he is so clearly and unequivocally entitled. Suit Au.viNsr lae Cur by its Em ployees nit Excess ot’ En;nr Hour's Labor.—ln the Baltimore Court of Common Pleas yesterday, before Judge King, two cases were tried on appeal from a justice of the peace, in which Patrick McKenna and James Ryan, em ployees in the water department, were the original plaintiffs, and tiie Mayor ad City Council of Baltimore, were the defendnnts. The claims were for .one fifth additional pay for an excess of two hours a day, of labor performed over eight hours, which, by- the ordinances of the city are made a legal day’s work fur all persons employed in every depart ment of the city government. Mr. War. rington appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. Leary, city solicitor, for the corporation. The facts of the case having been prov. ed by the plaintiffs, the court decided that it was optional for the plaintiffs to work the ten hours required of them or to resign their position as laborers, and that they conld make no legal claim for extra compensation. Judgment by con fession pro forma, having been entered by the justice below for the purpose of appeal, the court reversed thejudgment, and gave judgment for the city in both cases.— Sun, 20th. Fun at Homs. —Dou’l be afraid of a little fun at homo. Don’t shut your house, lest the sun should fade your carpets and your hearths, lest a hearty laugh should shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there 1 If you wanj to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the threshold without, when they come home at night. When once a homo is regarded as a place to eat, drink, aud sleep in, the work is begun that ends in gambling houses and degrada tion. Young people must have fun and ■ elaxation somewhere; if they'do not find it at their own hearth stones it will ho sought at oilier and lets profitable places. Therefore, let the fire burn brightly at night, and make the home stead delightful with all those little arts that parents so perfectly understand. Don't repress the buoyant spirit of your children; halt an hour’s merriment around the lamp and firelight of home blots out the remembrances of many a care and annoyance during tho day, and the best safeguard they can take with them into tho world is tho influ ence of a bright little domestic sanctum. —Never piny at any game of chance, lest you chance to lose both property and character. Another law Suit—Brick Pome* roy Stealing Chicken*. Monday fort-noon ibern canto off be fore Police Judge Hubbard in this city, another law suit, the particulars of which are as follow* t Reinhardt Hendricks, on the 17th of September, brought suit against “Brick’’ Potueroy, to recover pay for two roos ters shot by the. defendant with a revol ver, the chickens belonging to the plain tiff, to the value of fifty cents each. Through the kindness of the judge the case has been adjourned from week to week till the return ot the defendant from an electioneering tour of Indinna. This morning the ease came off, ex- Mayor, lion. James I. l.yndcs being the counsel for the prosecution, the defend ant appeared ill his own defense. The court room was crowded, for the idea of trying on editor for stealing or shooting chickens was a novelty. The plaintiff brought in his bill, swore to its correctness, testified that be owned tbe chickens, that they were raised by a hen belonging to him, that he saw the de fondant shoot them, that lie had repeat edly asked the defendant to settle tor them, and failing to get pay or satisfac tion he was compelled to bring suit, and asked for judgment of one dollar and costs. The defendant'admitted shooting the chickens, and proved by four reliable witnesses the following facts: In April, 1866, the defendant owned a fast running trick mare, “Kitty,” which animal was kept in a stable hired by him, and cared for by one of his em ployees. Through a little hole in the barn or stable the plaintiff’s hens would fly in and eat oats intended for the mare “Kitty,” and on the approach of any one would fly out. In an old barrel in the stable, one of the hens, a black one, made her nest,laid thirteen eggs therein, and proceeded to raise a family. When the hen got ready to set, the defendant nstructed the boy who took care of his mare to go down town, purchase thirteen eggs of J. W. Robinson Cos., grocers, and pot them in the nest, first removing the other eggs. The boy did so, as was proved- He then personally drove the hen out of the stable a dozen times or more— he tried to make her leave—she would not, but proceeded to incubate his eggs, duly bought and paid for, without his consent, leave or license, after repeated efforts on his part and by bis agents to have her vacate his premises. And farther, when the hen had hatched his eggs, she ran away with bis chickens, eleven in number, two eggs not pro 'ducing chickens. To her services he brought an offset, the use of stable and board hill in the shape of oats —he charged her with the two eggs she spoiled, and demanded judgment for the balance of the flock, nine in num ber, at fifty cents each. And, besides* he proved that the chickens did not belong to that hen, us she was black, while the chickens were red or speckled ! Hendricks has sued all his neighbors for some little trifling matter, half a dozen times each during the past two years. After a patient hearing, the Judge decided that there was no cause of action, and that the deiendatit was entitled to the other nine chickens, and the plaintiff must pay the costs of the suit, amounting to seventeen dollars and thirty seven and a half cents. —La Crosse Democrat, 1 'Mh.

In woman there is at once a subtle delicacy of tact and a plain soundness in judgment, which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man. A woman, if she be really your friend, will liave a sensitive regard for your hunor, character, and repute. She will seldom counsel you do a shabby thing, for a woman friend al ways desires to be proud of you. At the same time her constitutional timid ity makes her more cautious than your male friend. She, therefore, seldom counsels you to do an imprudent thing. A man’s best female frifoid is a wife of ■good sense and heart, whom he loves, and who loves him. But, supposing the man to bo without, a helpmate, female friendship he must still have, or his in tellect will be without.a garden, and there will be an unheeded gap, even in its strongest fouee. Better and safer, of course, such friendships where dis parities of years or circumstances put the idea of love out of tne question. Middlfi life has rarely thys advantage ; youth and old age hav6. We titay have female friendships with thoso much older, and those much younger, than ourselves. Female friendship is to a man the bulwark, sweetener, ornament of his existence. —Earn money before you. ipepd it- Crgditiis the murderer of trust. [COMMUNICATED.] Beaton v». Inatinet. Mr. Editor: Every one who ha* a dog, if lie takes any interest in him and the matter in hand, will soon find him self making a distinction between mason and instinct. Thus, when the dog lias eat enough for the present from a hone, he will dig a hole in the ground aud bury the residue for a future meal. This Is commonly attributed to his instinct. In man, however, the very same thing is called “ prudence,” and is said to be the result of reason. But when we observe further that our dog dreams ! we see at once that he has for his guidance something better than in stinct, for, psychologically, if is impos sible to dream without the faculty of memory, aud that operation of the tuind called thinking. Now, if our dog has a mind and thinks, are bis mind and thoughts entirely subjective to instinct 7 I think they are, and like a very large majority of mankind, their mental facul ties have been developed only to the extent absolutely required to maintain, as comfortably as they can, their exist ence and the preservation of their spe cies. All the domestic animals, the negro, the horse, the cow, and chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc., have been humanized by their association with mankind, their natural, ns well as cultivated, instincts have made them available to the happi- ness of man. When the beasts of the field and fowls of the air were brought before Adam, “to see what he would call them," he instinctively rejected the whole of them as “ help-meets,” and it was a slur upon Moses, even among the unscrupulous Jews, that one of his “help-meets” was a negro. I imagine I have made the distinction between reason and instinct broad enough, and now comes the question, | which is best ? Looking to the mere enjoyment of animal life, there can be no doubt hut that instinct is sufficient i and man, negro, horse, cow, dog, et al, are upon precisely the same footing— Free and Equal! Adam, Eve, and the serpent were evidently in this condition! their instinqts led them to the transgres sion of the first revealed moral law, and man, woman, and beast, participating in it, were alike punished for it. If reason had prevailed, Adam and Eve could have controlled their instinctive desire to eat, and, perhaps, the world would have been benefitted by it; but, ignoring reason, they let themselves down to the level of the brute, and, unfortunately for humanity, the example set by them is too generally followed by the Adams aid Eves of the present day, and we have to regret that, though reason is best for mankind, to whom it was offered and properly belongs, yet instinct prevails and leads them to misery. Mustard Seed. Got Him. —A Louisville cotemporary ! having notified the public that they could obtain all their wants by adver tising iu its columns, received the fa>~- lowing stunning reply : October 16, 1866. Dear Journal: I’m so glad I’ve found out how to get what I want. Yester day’s Journal says : “W halever your wants may be, advertise in the Journal.'' I’m wanting quite a number of things just now, hut I’ll put up with anew bonnet, dress and cloak, anew cooking- I stove, and a load of kindling wood ; a ! new pair of kid gloves, and a pair of balmoral boots, No. 4, a parlor carpet and rug. My husband wants “some body to pay the house rent and a baby.” (I don’t want that.) Another member of my family wants “a i.ew suit of Sun day go to-meetings; another wants “a new set of hoops and a crying doll another wants “a little red top buggy for her doll, and a cradle.” | There are quite a number of other | wants unsupplied, of which l’il send in a list after these have been satisfied. I’m deiighted with the new mode of get ting things. Very respectfully, Mrs. Buti.er. P. S.—l would like to have a barrel of ilour, too, it it is not too much trouble, Mrs. B. Our Crops.—The heavy frost on last Thursday morning throughout this sec tion—much heavier in some localities than others—concludes the interesting subject of the crops for the present sea son. Our planters Cud that the September rains did not injure the crops as seri ously as was feared they would; nor | bus the cntterpiHer and rust done very great damage. The cotton crop of De catur and in counties adjoining will be considerably more than half an average one. Some think it will reach two-thirds of the yield of 18G0. A gentleman from Miller estimates the cotton crop of that county at a full average crop. He says corn is plentiful there and is selling at $1.25 per bushel. The corn crop of this county is sorry but we think it sufficient to supply the demands of our people. Some of our planters never made a better corn crop than they have this year, but their nurn. ber is small. Many have not made half as much as they usually do. We are pleased to know that peas, potatoes and sugar cane were never bet ter; nor do we suppose a greater breadth of land has ever been planted in these important products than has been plaut -ed this year. The lato rains were of great service in promoting these crops, aud hence, are not much to be deplored. *—Bainbridgc ( Ga.) Argus Oct. 27. More Petroleum. —A farmer living in Walker county, in this State, while engaged in enlarging a spring on his farm the other day, displaced some rock, when immediately a quantity of oil gushed out and floated oii'the surface of the wider. We understand that a num berot gentlemen from Macon are making arrange ipeiits to .settle the important question whether, the oil exists in that country in sufficient quantities to mnko an investment in the oleaginous sub stance profitable. Secret Orders in the South —The “Red Strixos” akd hi* “Knight* op Anthropophagi.” —Some time since ,jthe New York Tribune , with the purpose of influencing the election*, published a saucy dispatch respecting the existence of “rebel secret societies” throughout the South, and in reference to which statements the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail says: We have one of them here, known as the Knights of Anthropophagi. 'They delight in’eating a loyalist for breakfast every mi ming. They dine upon frieca seed colored people, after the aroma bos j been removed with saltpetre, and never sup without demolishing a steak from a slaughtered Bureau man. They are armed to the teeth with Spencer rifles, ind have their breasts protected with . those patent breastplates—you know 1 It is suspected that they meet at the re • markable temple over the Artesian Ba sin; and that they drown frwnlmen in tbe.basin at midnight. We cannot vouch ' tor this, although officers of the Freed -7 men’s Bureau huve been observed watch ; ing that temple as though they expected it to explode. It is said that these unrepentant rebels, , by a constant firing of cannon, have so disturbed the attnuspbere for the past three months as to cause a continued rain, for the purpose of destroying the cotton crops ot Northern mqn. They have succeeded but too well in their ne farious purpose, and nothing can now ‘i protect them from the vengeance of the ‘ be t people on the planet, except ratifi J cation es the pending amendment. j See to it Yourself.—lmportant ’ affairs must he attended to in person. “ If you want your business well done,” says the proverb, “go and do it; if you don’t want it done, send some one else.’’ An indolent gentleman had a freehold estate producing about five hundred a year. Becoming involved in debt, he sold half of the estate and left the re mainder to an industriooe, enterprising farmer for ten years. About the end of the term the farmer called to pay his rent, and asked the owner whether he would sell the farm. “ Will you buy it?” asked the owner surprised. Yes, if we can agree about the price.” “ That is exceedingly strange?’ observed the gen tleman ; “ how happens it that, while I could not live upou twice as much laud, for which I paid no rent, you are regu larly paying me two hundred a year for your farm, and are able, in a few years to purchase it.” “ The reason is plain,” was the reply, “ you sat still, and said Cos; I got up, and said Come ; you laid in bed and enjoyed your estate, I rose in the morning and minded my busi ness.” Consignees per Central Railroad, Nov. 5.

Opinions of the Press, Clergy, Etc, We will make a Jew short extract, f r ~ the many Testimonial » we have received fro* time to time , unaolicited. 7 From Editors. The New York Examiner, says : Every mother and housekeeper mustoftai act as a family physician in the many ill. nes-es and accidents that occur among cbiU dr. 9 and servants. For many of these cases I have used Davis’Pain Killer, and consider it an indispensable article in the medicine box. In diarrhoea, it has been used and effected cures.. For cuts and bruises, it is invaluable. The Editor of the Christian Advocate, says: It is a real pleasure to us to speak favoiablv of this article, known almost universally to be a good and safe remedy for burns and other pains of the body. It is valuable not only for colds in the winter, but for rariou summer complaints, and should be in every family. A. D. Miller, Editor of Messenger. Gleni Falls, N. Y., says .- There is no medicine at tbe present day I value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer. I have used it in my family for years; in every instance it has proved a sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities to-day on a severe burn, and found it all that could be desired. Mr. John Jackson, of the Calais Adrer ti&er, writes: I know it to be all it is recommended, having used it in my family six or seven years. Tho Salem Observer says ; No article of medicine ever attained to such unbounded popularity and extensive diffusion. It has penetrated to every part, even the most remote, of the known world, bearing with it its healing influences more potent than those of tbe spices of “Areby tbtf blessed.” We are informed by onr principal druggists, that they sell more of this article for exportation than of any of all others, and that the demand is constanty increasing; The Cincinnati Nonpareil, Nov. 14,1849, says: Some of oar most prominent citizens and business men strongly recommend it to tire public os an article of great merit and virtue, and that they never knew any medicine to become so deservedly popular in so short* time. From Clergymen. Rev. J. C. Boomer says : I have used Perry Davis' Pain Killer with great success in cases of cholera infantum, common bowel complaint, bronchitas, coughs, colds, etc., and would cheerfully recommend it as"a valuable family medicine. Rev. J. G. Stearns, says: I consider it the best remedy I ever knew for dyspepsia. Rev. Edward X. Fuller says : I have witnessed the beneficial effects of your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and cholera morbus, within a few months past, and would cheerfully recommend its use to such as may be suffering from similar dis eases. as a safe and ejj'rctual remedy. Rev. A. Webster, Editor of the Christian Era, writes : I have used your Pain Killer for many yoirs in my family with much satisfaction. oc2S—2m PROSPECTUS or THE AMERICAN ARTISAS.
