This makes a total of nearly forty thousand

ties, where Fenianism is yet weak, and the
government has more partisans, half as many.

Resources of the Fenians.
As yet these mfen have no firearms, nor do
they ’ever meet in public or private, with
weapons of any sort, bat they are not in infor
mation, and at & signal could fill the country
with muskets. Every Fenian, it is said, who
left the Northern array, has retained bis musket.
Enough Irishmen,- tnimed in the war, have fe^
turned to their native island, to officer the entire
able-bodied population of Munster. The nu
cleus of an army ia being already formed, with
its headquarters in America, and a b«T*au Jbf
intelligence as vast as the archives and indexes
of your war department* I ana told that in * ‘The «r

hundred thousand men can be put into the field

Another fact whiph I may mention shows
the excellence of FoUiauism in its interior and
executive management. We know that there
are annually sent from America to Ireland, in
small remittances, from ten to. fifteen millions
of dollars. Most of this comes in drafts by
pose, and is employed by new parties to emi
grate. 1 am told that during the past six
months ies» mousy-by? one- half comes in this

could not prevent persons passing them by go

they were pursued. - This iutqlljgencq .created

Arrival of Irish Yankees.
[From the Limerick Chronicle, Sept. 4.]
A gentleman saw a party numbering, in-
cluding three women, abont thirty persona en
ter a third-class carriage of the train that was
to start ifor Limerick. It appears that they
came from the United State* in the steamer
that called at Queenstown on Tuesday morn
ing, to land passengers and mails. They ap-
1 te be of the peasant class, but were
drtesed than their equals in this coon-
and that they were Irish Yankees might
at once be guessed from tbe toes of tbeir boots
befog bifoad [between two and three inches,)
and the kidependent air which they exhibited
in their fanners send conversation. The gen
tleman, attracted by their appearance, left the
first-class carriage he was in, and entered that
in which the new-comera were seated, and he
w*s not long inside when he at once perceived
that their love of the Hagon was not of the
strongest kind, for the chief subjects of the
conversation were the glory of American in
stitutions and the degraded condition and mis
ery of Ireland under British rule. They
seemed td possess lots, not of “tin,” but of the
yellow and more sterling metal, to a larger
amount than one wcfeulddraagioe would be pos-
in their class of life. Titoy.

The Priests and the Fenians—The tlfshop Warns
a Fenian that the Flesh will Drop sjf his Bones.
[From the London Mercury, Sept. 4.]
The most bitter enemies of the Fenians are
tbe Roman Catholic hierarchy and tbe priests.
In the People, the recognised organ of the
brotherhood, there is a lung account of a con
troversy between one of its agents in the prov
inces and his bishop: Finding the agent would
not give op selling the People, the bishop de
nounced him from the altar, comparing him
with some of the great finners of history i but,
as it is part of the creed of the Fenians that
the cte^gy have no authority over them except
in things purely spiritual and doctrinal, tbe
agent paid no heed to the bishop's denuncia
tions. The bishop then sent for the agent,
when the latter curtly informed him that be
knew where he resided if he wanted him, aud
excused bis seeming rodenes* by alluding to the
threats of the bishop. The htshop visited the
agent, who, however, positively refused to stop
selling the People. A wordy contest ensued,
when the bishop, losing his temper, called tbe
agent many names, and told him the flesh
would drop off his bones, as it did from those of
a Fenian in a neighboring parish, for thus de
fying tile church, i

QQB-
Tragedy at Selma, Ala.
Shwwtltiff of a Treasury Agent by an
Officer of the Union Army.
[From the Selma Times, Sapt. 8.]
Our city, aod particularly th* occupants and
guests of the Gee House, were thrown into a
most intense state of exeiiement, ca the evening
of the flflth, by tbe killing of Mr. J. P Nimmo.
of Hontaville, and late special supervising agent
of tbe Treasury Department for this district, by
A ndrew Hosmer, of 8t. Louis, and formerly a
commissioned officer in the United Stales army.
It seems from the testimony that some ill feel
ing had been previously existing on the part of
Hosmer against Mr. Nimmo, and that Hosmer
bad been, according to foe statement of Mr.
Nimmo, just before the fatal and bloody encoun*
ter, tradueing his character behind his back on
the afternoon of that day. Thfo Mr. Ni imo had
been informed of, and while Hosmer wts at sup
per he eatored and approached his (Losmer’s)
seat. Several words passed, foe import of which
is not known, when Nimmo struck Hosmer.—
Several blow* were passed aod Hosmer prostrsL-
ted, when parties interfered and sepkrat«d them.
The friends of Mr. Nimmo prevailed upon him
to go to his room, which be did. Hosmer repair
ed to the offioe, and there, it seems, got his pistol,
andretnerked that be wuold kill him, and went
np stairs, his friends endeavoring to prevent
him.
Mr. Nimmo went to his room, after the af
fray in the dining room, in company srith Mr.
Duval, who.left him and returned down stairs.
Mr. Griffiog, of New York, was requested by
Mr. Duval to go up to Mr. Nimmo’s rcom and
try and calm him. This he did, and bn en
tered the room closed foe door. Mr. Nimmo,
immediately after the entrant of M r. Grif-
fing, seated himself and began to read a news
paper. In five or teD minutes thereafter some
one rapped upon the door and forthwith open
ed it. This was Hosmer, and he stood in the
door with a pistol in his hand. At this mo
ment Mr. Griffing sprang forward i;nd en
deavored by exclamations to attract tbo atten
tion of Hosmer and prevent his firing, in or
der that he might approach near enough to
disarm him ; bat before this could be done Mr.
Nimmo seized his pistol, which was lfing on
the bureau, and fired at Hosmer, the tail en
tering the door facing near Ilosmer. The fire
was instantly returned, the reports being so
simultaneous that down stairs it was thought
to be but a single report. Mr. Griffing is pos
itive that Mr. Nimmo fired first. Immediately
after the discharge of llosmer’s pistol Mr.
Nimmo fell forward &nd expired ir Bluntly
without a groan or struggle-
The jury returned a verdict in accc/dance
with the above facts.
Mr. Nimmo was raised in Huntsville, Ala
bama, but for several years previous to foe
war was a planter in Arkansas. He was a
widower, and leaves three little desolate chil
dren, who are with his relatives in Hur tsville.
Hosmer was arrested by Detective Duffy, of
the United States service, and delivered over
to the military authorities, who still have him
in custody, and who intend turning hid over
to the civil authorities for trial.
