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.

The dispatch from Mr. Morris, and enclosed paper, are herewith respectfully returned. Very respectfully, Y'our obedient servant, C. H. Crane, Acting Snrgeon General.

The expediency of adopting quarantine measures for the purpose of preventing tbe introduction of Asi- atio oholera into this country, seems well wethy of consideration. I have the honor to be, Your Excellency’s obedient servant, William H. Seward. COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. Office of Subgeon-General,) Boston, Sept. 11, 1865. > 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, Your excellency’s obd’t servt, W.. «L Dale, Surgeon-Gen.

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 young man, and was a member of the 19te regi OPt. 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.

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. ; Union Generals from Sonthern States Mr. Helper, author ol the “Impending Crisis,” said, in a reoent speech : Virginia has given us twelve generals, whose names are as follows: Thomas, Terrell, Cooke, Reno, Prentiss, Newton, Davidson, Stevenson, Deever, Ammee, Hays, Graham.
