R., has, according to his own words, proved himself a cheat, a scoundrel and a rascal, and wound up a career of deception and fraud in a most ignominious lizzie in the city of New York, three thousand miles from the place where he promised to offer np his life upon the altar of h’S country; “And whereas, James Stepheus, and his chief officers, who where cognizant of and aided him ia tlie infamous frauds he was practicing upon a confiding and patriotic people, have been guilty of a most gigantic swindle and a heinous crime perpetrated through misrepresentations made to the men in Ireland of the aid to be received by them from the Fenian Brotherhood of America, and to the people ot America ot the strength, desires, and resources of the men in Ireland; thus duping one by misrepresenting the other, and thereby aiding in a deception the results of which are seen and felt in crowded jails, deserted homes, broken hearts, and a general stagnation of trade and industry in Ireland, and in the presence of thousands ol expatriated patriots who crowd the shores of America, triendless, homeless, and almost penniless; biiud followers of corrupt, in competent and heartless leaders, and victims of a savage and alien government. Be it resolved, Tuat this meeting de nounce to everlasting infamy, and as un worthy of association or recognition by hdtjrsi men, the authors and plotters ot the infamous robbery of the Irish people in America, and of the ruin and punish ments brought bv them upon the true men ot Ireland Resolved, That there is now but one Irish national revolutionary organization in exist ence worthy of the name, and entitled to the confidence and support of the Irish people at home and abroad. It has done in twelve mouths for the cause of Irish nationality what uo similar body ever accomplished be fore—iesurvived ana exposed the O’Mahoney, Killian & Co. frauds, and, under the most unfavorable circumstances and the bitterest opposition, lifted, for the first time in a cen tury, the glorious green of our native land on tne field of battle, high, proud, and victo rious above the ied—the accursed red ot England. Aud we further believe that were it not lor the secret and open opposition of Jame3 Stephens, and where and when it was most effective, the Irish people of America would now be in possession of a country from which to wage successful war against England tor tho freedom and independence of Ireland. * , • « Resolved, 'that the opposition which we New Yoi 1c Market. .

CLOSING FALL AND AT 160 BROUGHTON STREET Capture and Escape of a Voting Lady, front the Comanche Indians. The Leavenworth Bulletin gives .an ac count ot the capture and escape of Miss Sarah Jane Luster from the Comanche Indians, which possesses much interest. She was living in Texas with a family named Babb. Some months ago, during the ab sence of Mr. Babb, a hand ol' No-cun-ak Ccmanches came to the house. They were invited jn by the children of Mrs. Babb, hut refused uulil satisfied thaL there were uo men about the premises. Then they went in and attempted to carry off one of the children. Mrs. Babb inspired by a mother's love tor her children resisted, and cluDg to her child with desperation ; whereupon one of the savages went behind, seized her by the hair, drew her back and cut her throat. This horrid deed was com mined under the eye of Miss Luster, who had taken -efuge in the upper part of the cabiu, and so shocked her as to cause a groan ot agony, thus leading to the dis covery of her presence. She was immedi ately captured (leaving a sleeping babe in the cabin), aud taken to the Indian camp. Miss Luster formed the heroic purpose of immediate escape from the horrors of her captivity. She soon discovered a horse of great speed, kept for running purposes by the Indians, and conceived a plan to mount it, aud leave in a direction from which the Iudians had brought green Coro, from a six days absence; thus showing a settlement within three a ay s' ride. Her preparation all complete, slic was frustrated by the barking ol dogs, and compelled to retire to her lodge. The secoud effort was made during a dark and slot my night, that drove both savages and dogs within doors. She could not lake both the children, but the eldest, a boy, mounted the horse and left- The first day and night exhausted the strength of the hoy, aud he was left to find his way hack or perish upon the road. Alter tin ee days and nights of continuous riding, she, becoming com pletely prostrated with fatigue aud anxiety, lied the horse by the lariat, to her body, and laid down for rest; she fell asleep, to awake a captive once more to the Indian ; this lime lo the Kiowas. She was taken to the camp of her new cap tors, only to reorganize her plans of escape, preferring death iu an effort for liberty rather than life in her horrid caplivity. Once more she escaped wllh her chosen steed, aud after days of weary travel and nights of sleepless anxiety, reached the Santa Fe road, sixly miles east of Cow Creek, Col. Leavenworth’s headquarters. Her escape was immediately reported by the Kiowas to the Colonel, and at the same time, by a white man, who had seen her at the rauche. Col. Leavenworth immediately sent an escort, bringing her lo Council Giove. Miss Luster, together with auolher liberated captive, named John Charles Fremont Houston, are at Council Grove now. The latter was captured by a small band of Tau-a-gway Comauches, or liver-eaters, aud was rescued from them by Tab-a-uam-a ca, head chief of one of the F INE CLOAKS, new styles, at from $6 00 to $28(0, uni tb ftout $10 00 h> $J5 00; French Merinos* at front $L 1» lo $1 40. worth from $160 to $2 00.

Cotton grown with Mopes’ Super-Phosphate brought higher price per pound Stood drought belter than reruvian. American, or any of the various guanos used In the vicinity. The cotton held its bqlls better. Caused no firing of the cotton duringdrougbt. Cottou continued its fruiting later. The last bolls aa large and abundant as at any previous stage of the crop. Produced a larger yield and heavier weightof cot- ton and wheat than Peruvian Guano. The yield of corn gi own with Mapes* Super-Phosphate was nearly double that grown with other Super phosphates. Worms hardly touched the corn grown with Mopes’ Super-Phosphate, while one-third of the corn grown with other Super phosphates was eaten up. For compost* with muck Mopes’ Super-Phosphate cannot be excelled. it permanently Improveii the sotl. One application produced abundant yield for fouryeirg, and still con- flnnes to show the effects.

And be it further resolved, That any man or body of men who would eeek to revive the defunct O’Mahony, Stevens & Co., and di vert the resources of tlio Irish people in America from the only revolutionary organi zation worthy of our confidence and confi dent, if supported, to perform the work un dertaken by them, should be looked upon with scorn, treated as enemies of Irish free dom, and accomplices iu the most heartless swindle that ever disgraced a national move ment, and entitled only to the treatment and consideration which such characters deserve. On motion of John Moore these resolutions were unanimously adopted. SPEECH OF COLONEL BURNS. Colonel Burns was then introduced as a better fighter than speaker.^ In coming for ward he was received with cheer after cheer. He said he was willing to fight in Ireland or anywhere else, but he did not believe in ta king money out of poor laborers’ cud servant girls’ pockets andusiug it for a stogg-jobbing concern. One means had failed, they must try another, and if that fuil they must try a"ain, and never give up until success shall crown their efforts. Stephens had been de ceiving them from the beginning. It was time that was stopped. They had had di visions enough. If they had been united in this country the Fenians would now hold Canada, and the green flag would now be recognized. [Applause.] He did not say thatthey would light this year, or next year, but he was willing to lay down his life for the cause at any time. He called upon them to support the Koberts’ and his organization [three cheers for Koberts J and be united- then there would be no such word as faiL [Applause. ] Mr. Finarty was next introduced, and de livered a few fervent remarks. He said the Koberts party did not ask them lo do an im possible thing, viz: without a fleet to cross the ocean and take England. Tney should let their friends iu Irelaud know that the Koberts party is the only party n6w in ex istence—a party which would never give old Ireland up. They never intended to settle in Canada, but to use it as a basis for future operations, in Ireland they wanted an army of observation; in the United States an army of operation. They were determined to make the Fenian name bright and pure, without a blemish. They wanted no more humbugs. They have seen leader after leader prove false, but they would hold to the green flag in spite of England, in spite of treason, in spite of the devil! [Tremendous applansJ! ] He did not desire to say a word against a fallen man, and he would not make any alle gations against James Stephens. ■ an interruption. en route to this city. Perpetual Session ot Congress. Congress has passed a bill which provides that the next CuDgress shall convene on the 4th of March— the day ou which the present term will expire. The object of this action is lo prevent any intermission of Congressional authority. The constitution provides that the regular session shall commence on the first Monday iu December, and without the special legisla tion referred to, the new Congress could not come into power until that date, unless 1>> the option of the President. If the pressure of Congressional busi ness were so great as to lender its completion im possible before ihe 4lh of March, there would be some justification for the movement iu question. But there is no such necessity, nor lias the extraordinary session been urged upou that ground. Nearly two uiunths of the present session remain, and in any case the necessity for a continuance ot legislation could not be foreseen at this time. The manifest purpose of the Radicals in making this provision fe to tie the hands of tile President dur ing the intervul that would occur during the expiratiou of the present Congress and the regular convention of the next one. It is to prevent the appointment ol Administration men to important offices, aud to ex ercise such other restraints upon the President as. are within the power of Congress when in session. About tbe only material effect of this proceeding will bo to impose a heavy bill of expenses oil the Govern ment. AU of the members of me How Congress, ex cepting those who were re-elected, will be entitled to extra mileage, which, aside lrom the regular expenses of thp session, will he a considerable item. The movement is particularly noticeable, however, as an Ulustratlon of the extent to which parliBac spirit is carried by Congress. For thu sake of annoying the President, the Radicals in that body do not hesitate to iinposo a needless expense upon the people and to violate the spirit of the Constitution. The Constitu tion provides a time for tbe meeting of C-ngress, and although there is nothing iu that iusliumont to pro hibit the appointment of an extraordinary session, as has jURt been done, it inferentiafly opposes such ac tion from the tact that it empowers the President to convoue Congress In case of necessity. In this pro ceeding the Radicals ‘have been actuated solely by their enmity toward tbe Preaident, aud impartial peo ple can place no other construction upou their con duct. U is 'right and proper they should oppose tbe policy of tbe President in any honorable aud dignified manner, since they cannot agree witfi him; but such exhibitions of spite and malice as that to which we have alluded should not be found in tho Congress of tbe United 8tates.—A T .

He urges, therefore, that it will be better, unlil fhe South l’e- oovers from its depressed condition, aud has other taxable property, to collect an enormous per ceutage of this, its only resource. This is political economy with a vengeance! Take a poor niau wbo raises only potatoes, and tax them 25 percent, ou tneir cost, with a promise oi reducing the rate when be grows rich aud makes a large annual return of wheat and corn ! Bttt our Commissioner kindly goes further, and de clares that “whenever the time arrives’’—which is not likely to be long delayed, ,in view of tho bonus thus given to au active lorcigu competition—“alien the tax on cotton shall evidently become a scrtdts im pediment to its production, tbere can be litlle doubt that it may be entirely repealed. ” The imposition of such au enormous'burden upon tbe only or chief pro duction ol an impoverished secliou, on the plea that the people arc so poor that they have nothing else to be taxed, finds its own fitting commentary in the pro mise to take tho duty off when it has slopped tbo growth of thecotton, or “proved m serious impedi ment to its production 1” We do not wonder that the Commissioner proposes, in the very next paragraph, to repeal the duty on carriages, watches aud plate. This is recommended, perhaps, ou the ground that the people owning these luxuries, unlike the cottuu- growers, are rich, aud have so many other things to be taxod that it is needless to continue this exaction. carry on Rice Planting in 1867, in co-partnership with a gentleman wbo bar Rlcc lands on the Satilla river.
