Eonianism appears to be spreading in the south
and west of Ireland as well as in the north. A
prosecution was instituted at Sligo by the con
stabulary against a militiaman for using sedi
tious language. The following is a full report of
the trial: . «j_
[From the Sligo Chronicle.]
At the 61igo petty cessions on Friday, before P.
C. Howloy, Esq., U. M., chairman, Jeremy Jones,
Esq., J. P-, R. Faussett, Beq., J. P., and R. D
Robii son, Esq., J. P., a young man, apparently
of some twenty three years of age, named James
Macuamara, was charged by Constable Coghlan
with uttering seditions and treasonable language
on the 16th inst., at ftesse’s point. Mr. McNiff
was concerned for the defence.
Constable Cohlan deposed : On the 16th inst.,
(the day of tho regatta), at Rosse’s point, we were
conveying the prisoner to the police barracki for
being drunk and disorderly on the public road;
while we were in the act of doing so he made
great resistance, and shouted, * fo with the
Prince of Wales!” “To with the Queen!’’
“1 am a Fenian!” He repeated that as loudly as
be coaid on the public road, where there were
hundreds of persons passing along; every per
son could hear him; he was very drunk at the
time.
Mr. Bowley—Are yon aware if this man serves
in the militia?
- Constr.6lb Coghlan—I heard he was out in Italy
(in the Pope’s brigade,) and that he is now in the
diigo militia.
Defondaod—Only four years in it.
Constable Coghlan—He lives in Waste Garden
lane, in town; I never saw him down before.
Mr. McNiff wished to adduce proof of the good
character whieh defendant held. He said :—
“There is no use infringing toward any further
evidence. We did not know what we were doing
when we committed the offence charged against
us, and we throw ourselves on the merciful con
sideration of the bench. I have no further ques
tions to pet rib the witness.”
; Mr. f Fausaet'—“Where the leaven is in it will
come out.”
Mr. McNiff—“People in their cups will do very
curious things, and after all, it is a matter to
which no great importance should be attached.—
You have the evidence of the polioeman to the
effect that the people were net excited by his lan
guage.”
Mr. Faussett—“They were not worked up to
the point.”
Mr. McNiff—“I am giad cf that. It is a good
thing to be well disposed, \‘.
■'.iAfWFdome confenn'cs 'among their worships,
Mr. Howiey said: “The magistrates consider
the present case one of the most serious that has
•come before them for a very lengthened time. I
think it one of the most serious that has come be*
fore me siDce learns to the country, beoause
there is no knowing what suoh an offence as this
might have led to,' ‘We had an example the other
day of similar offence, where, in fact, a life was
lost by the use of similar expressions. It is too
serious a case to be disposed of summarily or sent
to the quarter sessions. We have come to the
resolution 1 of receiving informations against the
prisoner for trial at the assizes. In the meantime
I will communicate with government, and leave
it with them whether or not I should accept bail
on such a case as this. It is a matter for the
crown authorities to. deai with, and. we hand
it .over to them, leaving them to acoept bail or
not. ; .
Mr. McNiff having inquired what sum the
crown authorities would be disposed to name as
bail for the prisoner’s appearance, .
Mr. felwley replied—They will leave that with
us. As far as our jurisdiction goes we. will take
the [information and sendjit to the assizes. Ac
cording .to what this man says, there seems to be
some soft of secret sooiety to which the prisoner
beb-ngs.
Mr. Niff—That does not appear.
Mr. Howley—Well, this'is the conclusion we
come to : That there is such a society in this
neighborhood; and I regret it exceedingly, for
we know what these societies lead to. The un
fortunate dupes generally come at last to the
S allows—one swearing against thd other; and I
ave had opportunities myself, iu the year 1848,
of judging how little they oan do when they have
to lace either the govemmeut'or the local au
thorities. In fact, it is but min their conduct
leads to; and, of course, it .cannot be expected
that men undisciplined as they are, could ever
hope to cope with the Quecu’s troops. The f*9‘
of the prisoner beiug iu the militia makes his
case far worse than that of an ordinary prisoner
who. has not sworn allegiance to the Queen. Of
course, I will ipform you in a few days whether
Qr hot the prisoner will be admitted to bail.
[From the Limerick Chronicle. Angnat 28,]
We have been informed, 6y person* who would
not exaggerate in the slightest degree, that dril
ling is going on in Ciare Oratloe Woods, and llu
mountainous region at the opposite side of the
IShannon, the movements of me FeniaDS in teat
quarter being exactly like what the Cork Consti
tution described as being carried on in the en
virons of that city. The mountainous districts
of Ireland afford considerable facilities for tbe
drilling of the Fenians, end tee well-di*poEed
need not wooder at reading in the papers of the
doings of the rebels in such places as the moun
tainous parts of Cork, Kerry, Clare, Cavan and
Fermanah, where they can carry on their,drill
exercises, and yet escape the vigilance of the po
lice, who may pot be stationed in these secluded
quarters. The Fenians would seem to b« wise
iu their generation in selecting the mountainous
regions lor their exercises, althongh those of
Cork seem less cautious; but even tbeplaces de
scrioed by our contemporary are rocky, and ol a
character to cover the movements of the Fenians,
without being detected by the poliee except
through spies,
A gentleman in this city ha? received a let
ter from a friend resident in New York, who,
writing on the subject, says that numbers of
i irishmen, who cannot find employment there,
are coining home; and he adds that “Fenian-
ism is getting strong** there every day.” We
quote, however, the best part of his letter , in
which he says, referring to a recent picnic of
the Fenians,. held in New York, that “there
were a few captains in the army .present, who
spoke a few words to the effect that they in
tended to go next year to Ireland and plant
the green flag on all the old churches and cas
tles in one night.'” What is really signiflcMit
in the foregoing is tbe reference of the parties
returning to Ireland in quest of work. That
those fellows are Fenians there need be little
doubt. The war has thrown, multitudes of
them upon their own resources f theif cam
paign life has partly unfitted them for iodosr
tri,pus purs pits ; the disaffection they took- oot
with them they retain with increased intensity,
and under pretence of returning to procure
employment, they come over to carry out their
evil designs. This is really a serious matter;
which calls for the prompt attention and yigi-
lance of the authorities, who cannot be too ac
tive.
[.From the Cork Examiner, Sept. 6 ]
We look with the deepest anxiety to that'
enormous power for mischief which exist* in
the Irish or’in the anti-English organization in
lexica. We do not enter into the truth or
Litjr of the feeling amongst the Irish States,
and we have no hesitation in admitting that
much allowance muit be made for iu egUt-
ence. The great pity is that the passions of
onr people at home should be so recklessly
played npon bv those who run no risk, and
that hopes shomd be held ont which cannot be
realized. We deplore it in the truest interests
of oar country, which is kept in a chronic ex
citement, fatal to steady industry and repellant
t6 that capital which is essential to its pro
gress. In God’s name, let onr country have
repose—a few years of cessation from strife
and faction—so that not only may the energies
of her people be turned to the pursuits of in
dustry, but that those who possess: capital—
the mighty miracle-worker of the day—may
learn to understand that in no country in the
world is there a wider or safer field for its ; in
vestment.

Sik : I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of the communication of the Honorable
the Secretary of State, U. S., with accompany
ing papers from the Acting Surgeon-General,
U. S. A., transmitted to this department.
In reply, I beg respectfully to inform your
excellency that a copy of the above has been
forwarded to his honor the mayor of the city
of Boston, and to their honors, tbe chief magist j
trates of the other cities in this State.
By the general statutes of this, common
wealth, quarantine regulations and other mat
ters appertaining to the public health, are solely
under the direction and control of the various
municipalities of the State. Waiving the
qnastion of the contagiousness of cholera, .1
respectfully remind your excellency that the city
of Boston, through its able city physician and
emiaent Board of Consultation, have given the
subject of an anticipated visitation of an epi
demic from foreign sources that attention which
its importance demands,.and 1 have the honor,
herewith, .to forward you their report. It is
believed to be the opinion of our ablest medical
men that there is no ground for immediate ap
prehension, as the existence of cholera in Bu>
gland is not as yet known to be officially an
nounced. . Should, however, this disease visit
our country this fall, the hygienic influences of
th3 season would greatly modify its character
and render it comparatively harmless. I, how
ever, respectfully suggest that it would be emi
nently proper for your excellency, as chief
magistrate of the State, by proclamation of
otherwise, to call the attentionof tbe various
authorities of tbe commonwealth to the great
jmportance of rigid sanitary preparation in
vidw of thp anticipation of the approach of any
malignant epidemic. The officers of the va
rious State institutions should cautiously in
spect their condition in regard to ventilation,
sewerage.and drainage—whether they are over
crowded or are wanting in any of the appli
ances of health, aDd by timely and judicious
removals or clasrifiCation, be in such hygienic
preparation as will effectually control or modify
any disease. Those in charge of the localities
of large manufactories where there is much re
fuse animal matter; and of the places where
large numbers of cattle are brought together for
sale or slaughter, the superintendent? of factor
lies located on rivers or small streams' should
realize the necessity of rigid sanitary inspec
tion. Local boards of health should assidu
ously regard the condition of all stable ahd
privy vaults, always remembering that acute
disease in a time of general epidemic is apt to
sBsume a malignity of form as fatal as that of
recognized pegtilences. Tbe Condition of the'
localities where large' number* of operatives of
foreign extraction are congregated with all the
appliances for the propagation and spread of
disease should also be subjects for the grave
consideration of health ' committees, and the
good people of the commonwealth generally
should be called upon to observe such rules
iq regard to diet, clothing, and personal health
as will epatffe [hem to, meet any and all dis
ease.'.- . ■
Cleanliness is next to godliness, and when to
this virtue is superadded temperance and the
confidence which springs from a stout ahd fifyal
heart, with c good conscience, the people of
this commonwealth may hopefully await any
visitation which God ip bis providence may
see fit to send,
I am very reapectfufly,

The Outrages by the Shenandoah
Another Brave Captain—Attempt to
Shoot Waddell, the Pirate.
Captain Ludlow, late master of the ship Isaao
Howland, writes as follows to the Bag Harbor Ex
press :
The ship Isaac Howland sailed from Now Bed
ford October 19th, 1864, and after a pleasant and
successful passage, arrived in Behring Strait with
649 barrels ot oil. 160 ofitsperm. On the 28th
of June fell in with eleven ships. We saw a
large steamer ooming toward us—supposed to bo
a man of war. Had we known it to have been
the Shenandoah, not one of us could have escap
ed—it being a dead oalm. I lowbred my boat
and palled alongside—but saw im&ediately
wo were in the wrong pew—that John Bull had
ns fast.
Resistance was in vain, as shown by tho berth
they gave Captain Young, of the Favorite, for
attempting to shoot his Satanic Majesty (Wad
dell) with a bomb gun; but unfortunately the
mete had removed tbe cap from tee gun, unknown
to tee Capteiu, They told him it was sure death
to him to sbpot. He replied, “I die willingly,
could I kill the wretch. The immediately hand
cuffed him, and put him is the opal, hole of the
pirate, where we were all expecting soon to keep
him oompany, but as good luck would have it wo
Were placed on board tho bonded ships Nile and
JamesManry, and sent to San 1 Francisco. All
lhe rest wpro burned, namely, the Isaac Howl*nd,
Hillman, Congress, Covington,’ Favorite, Waverly
and Napsau. One of. the oaptains gaid to Wad
dell there was not enough provision to last them
until .they reached the island. He kindly inform
ed them they might eat Kanakas; they bad plenty
of them. I went on board the pirate, and had a
long conversation with the Captain.
He informed me that he was first lieutenant
with Semines in the Alabama—had one hun
dred and sixty men, eight guns, worked bis
vessel by steam or 'wind, as occasion required.
So there wa*' no escaping him. lie gave me
a handful of sovereigns, helped to get my cloth
ing frqm the ship after firing her. Took my
revolver and nautical instruments, and what
other things they wanted from the ship. The
last we saw of him he was steaming fast to the
South and West. Saw the smoke from other
ships in the distance. I arrived in San Fran
cisco, July 3, and home from there in twenty-
two days, to the no small surprise of my family
and friends, having circumnavigated the globe
in the short space of ten months and five days.
Yours, in haste,
J, Ludlow,
Late master ol ship Isaac Howland.
The New Bedford Standard has the follow
ing on
i j The Whale Fishing.
The destruction of whale ships and their
cargoes by the Shenandoah, and the loss of the
season by the ships driven away through fear
of capture, must greatly increase the price of
oil by reason of the reduced importation. Al
ready prices have materially risen, and a further
advance may be expected. The high price of
lard oil, $2.10 to $2.15 per gallon, and of
other substitutes, warrants a proportionate in
crease in tbe value of fish oils—assuming that
whales are fish, which Dr. Mitchell denied,
Some time must elapse before new vessels can
be built or brought to replace the victims of
the Shenandoah, and more still ere they can
make a voyage to the Northern seas. For at
least three years, then, prices of oils must rule
high.
Meantime the demand for lubricating and
ilinminatiDg oils mast steadily increase—and
petroleum and other lubricators must have a
mixture of whale oil—with the increase of
population and the renewal of manufacturing
consequent on the restoration of peace. Con
sumers may suppose that dealers in oil are
making largo profits at the present time. This
is not so ; because the cost of fitting A ship for
sea is about twice what it used to be before the
war; and this notwithstanding the fact that
ships are fitted much more economically than
formerly.
North Carolina.
Northern Emigratiou-Tciu porary Op
position—What the Citizens are Do
ing.
Wilmington, Sept. 12,1865.
' There is now a considerable tide of emigra
tion 1 from the North. Most of it is under tbe
auspices of the General Southern Land Agen
cy, which has established an office in tbo
Northern States at No. 262 Broadway, New
York. The company offers land for sale
throughout all the Southern States, and its
agents estimate that at least 100,000 emigrapts
wjll go from the Northern States during the
present year. There was some opposition to
the movement when it first commenced, but
the Southern pepple are gradually becoming
favorable to the new order of things, and are
putting their lgnds in (he hands of these agents
at low figures, many of them being convinced
that Northern men will greatly assist the devel
opment of the resources of the South.
An Artist with am Elefhaxt oh us Hands.
A Richmond letter says:
It is reported here teat Mr. Yolk, tha artist
and sculptor, formerly of Baltimore, lately com
missioned by tbe State of Virginia to execute a
bronze statue of Stonewall Jackson, has nearly
finished the task, but is now in quite a quandary
to know wbafrhd shall do With it, inconsequence
of the midden collapse of the Oenfederaov, and
the change that has oome over the spirit of
things in Virginia. The statue wes designed to
be placed npon, one of the vacant pedestials of the
Washington Monument in the Capitol square, in
oompany with the statues of Jefforeon, Hoary
and Maaen, of revelationary memory. Like these,
toe atalne of Stonewall Jackson, by Volk, is to
bo above life size, with the habit and insignia of
a rebel lieutenant general. Forty thousand doll an
in gold were appropriated to enable the artist to
eseente the work in Europe, and he went Abroad
with thie intention over a year ego. Daring his
residence abroad, Mr. Volk acquired a fine artis
tic reputation, and hie statue of Stonewall is said
to be a work of great merit. But, what will he
do with it?—that’s the qneetion. It is an ele
phant on his hand*.
A man ia Lswell Slung by a Snake-
Horrible Agony of the Unfortunate
Mian.
The Lowell Courier of Saturday publishes an
acconnt of tho terrible sufferings in that city of a
yonng man named James McNulty, who was
stung by a small, striped snake with which
he was muddling on rid ay last. Tbe Cornier
says ;
Daring the evening McNulty wentinto a.ssloon
and pnt’ the Snake on the counter, where, when it
was first veer, it was taken; to be a fancy pipe
stem or something of the kind. When it was dis
covered to be alive some oiie proposed to pail its
tongne out, which was all tbe while somewhat
active and threatening. MoNnlfy was endeavor
ing to hold its bead close down to the counter,
perhaps to aid in catching th* tongue, when the
reptilu darted it out, and strnck him near the
ball of tba thumb. A little black speo)c or point
was left iu the skin, whioh was at onoe removed
with the point ot a knife. McNulty went to Dr.
Burnham and told him the oiroumstaDoes, and
the doctor applied some sort of a remedy efficient
tor poisonous stings, and he went home. Later
!i* the evening he wetat into convulsions, and
Dootora Kidder, Diokey. and Dr. Kimball' were
called. He was in iudh a frenzied state teat it
required fonr or ffve persons to bold him—writh
ing and twistingisboift arja emitting the peculiar
hissing of a snake. On his band, where he said
he was stung, there was no mark, more than wonld
be left by a mosquito bite, end the hand did not
swell or become inflamed. The fellow’s egony,
however, seemed to be intense, and some of the
appearances were like those In cases of hydropho
bia, bat in his lacid and oalm moments he was
pcrtectl; rational and would converse and driok
Wptqr freely. Morphine was administered, and
toward midojgbt be fejl into q quiet sleep, tbe
morpbine having overoome his nervous agitation.
Th* esee is a peculiar one. Tbe physicians pres
ent are in doubt as to the matter, not knowing
whether the man was really poisoned by tee sting
of th* snake, Ur whether the fact that he had been
ptnng, operating -on his rginq, had tbe effect to
throw Mm into oonrulsions. At U 1-2 o’oiock
he wai alaeping quietly under the effects of mor-
S hiee he had taken. Th* snake was put into
ottle of spirits and will be preserved. It appears
to ns to be the ordinary knd of striped snake al-
waye to he regarded as harmless, though we be
lieve some take it to be an adder. McMultyis a

The Clergy of St. I>auli and the New
oath.
[From the Missouri Republican, Monday.]
The effects of tbe new law which proposes to
force npon ministers ol tbe Gospel an oath which -
ia generally understood to have nothing to do
with religion, except to mix it up with politics
and State matters, werenot man i esc toany great
extent in the religions exercises at the varions
bouses of worship throughout the city yesterday.
The exercises were conduced without deviation
from the ordinary oourae, and, with bnt a lew ex-
ceptions, included the regular preaching of ser
mons by the pastors of tee churches. No; refer
ence whatever was made yesterday to the politi
cal questions ot the day in any of the churches
tbe pastors with emire unanimity of sentiment
concluding that tee only dignified and Christian
course was to maintain silence m relation to tbe
enforcement of a law whioh they believed to be
hostile to themselves personally, as well aa to the
church and to the spirit of Christianity.
Iu every Catholic church throughout the city,
and, aa we are informed, in every Methodist
Church South, services were held and sermons
were preached though it is known that no priest
and no minister of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South has yet taken tee oath. Of ail tee
clergymen in the city, only about one-fourth have
taken the oath. These include Bishop Hawks
and Rev. M. Schuyler, ol tbe Episcopal Church;
Rev. A. C, George and Rev. Henry Cox of tbe
MethadUt Episcopal Church ; Rev. s. J. Nicholla,
of the Second f’resby terian Church; Rev. A. A.
Kendrick, Rev. J. V. echo held Rev. A. C. Os
borne, Rev. G S. Gubeimann, of the Baptist
Church; Rev. T. H. Post, of the Congregational
Cburcb, and Rev. W. G. Elliot, ot the Unitarian
Church.

Colored Laborers in Demand in Ten-
_ nessee
fFrom the Memphis Bulletin, Aug. 31.]
There are at this time applications on file at the
office of Brigadier General Tillson, from respecta
ble and responsible planters, who require and de
sire to employ at once 4,000 laborers. A know
ledge of this fact, and of the determination of
General Tillson to remove from the cify those
who ere paupers or unwilling to work, is ioduring
a general desite to go to the country, especially
when in their contracts it is guaranteed that
they may have their own little patch on which
to grow their corn and raise s their chickens.—
Those who go first will probably get the best
places
When the arrests by patrols have thinned out
the people who have no business or means of
living, orders are to be given to arrest all the
colored women and girls found in tbe streets,
and living lives of lewdness, who will all bo lock
ed, or will consent to leave Memphis with em
ployers or otherwise. When these are-oleared;
out, those found living in dilapidated and exposed
tenements, unfit for human habitations, will be
required to leave or get places where they and
their families can reside without imminent danger
of disease. The only class left wi.l be those who
have steady employment, whereby they have A
sure iivelinood insured, and tbe wives and fami
lies of colored soldiers. Thoso who leave the
city, and violate their contracts, and oome hack
to Memphis, will be soverely punished, aDd,
if caught, will be seat back to fulfill their on*
gagements. ;

Points of a Good Cow.—A correspondent
of the linral American writes to that paper as
follows;
X noticed a good article in the Rural of Jnhe
last, headed “Points of a Good Cow.” I
wonld snm up tbe whole into one point that
was not mentioned. It is this: For a good
dairy cow, choose one with a striped hoof; she
will never fail. A cow with dark hoofs may be
good for-a large quantity of milk, bnt it will
not be rich. For a medium cow, chooea one
with part of the hoof striped, or any other
color
