teinplatcd I'euian rifling in Ireland has caused
intense excitement. The Globe, Telegraph and
Leader issued extra?, which were eagerly pur
chased. If rumor is true, the Fenian movement
so far from doing the prisoners tinder sentence
any good will infinitely harm them, and from
the tenor of the London Times’ article, *°P ie
to-d#y iu the Daily paper*, the hope* that * er0
heretofore indulged in by their frien 9, ma .
prove fruitless. A flpccial from Montreal says:
arrangements for the removal of the 1-eman
prisoner* from the jail in this c.ty toSwcetsburg
are completed. The prisoners will be accompa
nied br a strong military guard. Fear* are en
tertained of a raid from Vermont to Swcelsburg
to* release them. The greatest excitement is
manifested in this oity over the news of the out
break in Ireland.
New York, Nov. 29th.—Tbe anxiety to hear
from the Fenian insurrection in Ireland is very
great. The very meagre and unsatisfactory tclo-
grams purporting to have come over tho cable,
give rise to the belief that the English Govern
ment is exercising a censorship over the Atlantic
telcyaph, or that the sensation news is manu
factured by interested parties in the city. Arms
•nd'officers are known to have been eent to Ire
land from this city. One regiment of State
militia has furnished one hundred and fifty men
as officers, and a large accession fs expected from
the British army.
New York, Nov. 29th.—A special cable dis
patch to the Herald dated London, to-day, says
that the United State* bonds have been fluctua
ting considerably within the past twenty four
hours, sales being announced as low as 69 7-8,
and as high as 70 3-S—the latter figure on ac
count of cash. Sales were generally from 70 to
70 1-9.

Washington, Nov. SO.—The Radical caucus,
which evta called for Friday evening, hie been post

Congress. It will probably be bad on Monday.—
Hamlin, who was invited to deliver an address of
welcome to Congress, has declined to do so.
Removal of French Troops.
Washington, Nov. 29.—Although no formal of
ficial communication haa been made to this Gov
ernment, -here la no doubt that information has
been verbally furnished ol Napoleon’s intention
to remove the French troops from Mexico at the
earliest practicable time. The arrangements for
that purpose now being in progress. The reason
why the first detachment of one third of tbe
troops were not embarked in November, accord
ing to tbe Emperor’s own programme, is that tbe
other two-thirds might have been seriously dam
aged by the Liberals, who were persii'.ently
pressing them. To obviate snch a result it was
deemed moro prudent to remove them all at
once^ There is now no doubt this will be done
Much speculation has been indulged as to the
actual business of Lt. Gen. Sherman in accom
panying Minister Campbell to Mexico, but the
truth is, ho was designated as an adviser to that
gentleman, both as regards diplomatic affairs in
Mexico and as to military movements on the
frontier, sfcould any new emergency arise to re
quire a nexr disposition of troops. But since the
reception of the Htnperor’s intentions with re
gard to the removal of his army, it is not sup
posed that such a necessity will occur. Tbe last
news received by the Government respecting
Maximilian Is, that he was at Arizona—tbe
French officials refusing to leave Mexico unless
he formally resigned the crown.

(From the Dawson Journal.
Dawson nnd her Manufacturing Interests
In our walk a fear days ago around our
thriving town to sec the- many improvements
that are being made, we closed our trip by
coming to the Car Work9 of the “Dawson
Manufacturing Company.” We were pleased
to see the improvements made by tbe com
pany—were particularly struck with the
large number of cars standing on the track
built from the works to the railroad. The
cars were being put in shipping order, and
on inquiring, we learned they were going to-
the Central Road.
We noticed on Monday a car from this
company, going up the road, marked t** Col.
Sam Tate, President of tbe Memphis & Char
leston Railroad, which we learned was being
sent to that important road. We learn that
more orders for cars have been received than
can be furnished at once. The facilities of
the company, however, are such tor building
that many can be furnished monthly.
Wc trust, as this is the first enterprise of
the kind we know to have been started in
the Sonth since the close ot the war, that it
will meet with the encouragement it justly
deserves from our Southern roads. Under
its able management by Maj. O. O. Nelson,
Us President, and Mr. Henry Atkinson, tbe
Superintendent, we predict for thisenterpiisc
a complete success.
The books of tbe company closed some time
since against the issuing of any more stock.
We expressed our belief some time since that
those who had money to invest had best put
it in this enterprise. Any stock owned by
others than the original stockholders will
now have to be bought.

Mb. Greeley's Position.—By his own
pen in the New York Tribune, Horace Gree
ley thus defines Ins position :
“I am for universal amnesty, so far ns im
munity from fear of punishment or of confis
cation is concerned, even though impartial
suffrage should for the present be resisted
and defeated. I did think jt desirable that
Jefferson Davis should be arraigned and
tried for treason, and it still seems to tne
that this might have been done many months
a^o; but it w.ts not done then, and now I
believe it would result in far more evil than
good. Ic would rekindle passions that have
nearly burned out or been hushed to sleep.—
It would convulse and agitate the South. It
would arrest the progress of reconstruction
and kindly tf cling there. It would cause n
large sum directly, and a far larger sum indi
rectly, and unless the jury were scundalouslv
packed, would resuit in a non-agreement or
no verdict. I can imagine no good end to be
subserved by such a trial, and,"holding Davis
neither better nor worse than thousands of
others, I would have him treated as they are.”
Worship Without Hearing.—"I have
in my congregation.” said a venerable minis
ter of the Gospel, “ a worthy aged woman,
who has for ninny years been so deaf as not
to distinguish the loudest sound, nnd yet she
il always one of the first in the meeting.”—
On asking the reason of her constant attend
ance, as it was impossible for her to hear my
voice, she answered, “Though I cannot hear
you, I come to God’s house because I love it,
nnd would be found in nis ways, and He
gives me many a sweet thought upon the
t?xt when it is pointed out to tne; another
reason is, because I am in the best company,
in the most immediate presence of God, and
among his saints, the honorable ot earth. I
am not satisfied with serving God in private;
it. is my duty and privilege to honor Him
regularly and constantly in public.”
“Murmur Not."—Is it not a fact tiiat
professing Christians regard too little this
injunction of the Apostle ? I say “profess
ing Christians,” not because they are the
only “complainers,” but because, while pro
fessing to commit all tilings to the “keeping
of a faithful Creator,” they often deny virtu
ally by their faith, aud seem to imply that
tlie God of the Universe lias let go the helm,
or censed to rule righteously. Is it not a
dishonor to him whose name we bear,
that we find so much fault with the
orderingot His providence even in this re
spect ? His word has gone forth that “while
the cartli remaineth, seed-time and harvest, |
cold and heat, summer and winter, shall not j
cease." Let us take Him at Ilis word.

HOUSE.
Millcdgeville, Nov. 30.
Mr. Bulloch moved to reconsider the bill (lost
yeoterday; to amend section 4 112 of the Code.—
Motion prevailed.
The object of this bill is to so alter and amend
section 4,112 ot the Code, as to compel Judges ot
the Superior Courts to appoint Masters in Equity
tor their circuits to adjust matters of dispute aris
ing: in Equity. Audio compel said Marter* in
Equity to go to the counties in which snch mat
ters of dispute tnSy exist, instead of compelling
widows and minor-distributers to litigate out ot
the counties ot their rethier.ee.
Mr. Bulloch is a new member, occupying the

lie i» eminently the speaking member from Tal
bot. lie seldom intrudes, himself upon the time
of the House, but when he does do so, lie is al

He is a warm advoaato of Reliaf—he fully a p
prcciat»3 the difficulties and disadvantages u n
der which our people, in our impoverished con
dition, labor. I could but notice the calm at
tention he paid, during tho discussion of the
stay law, to every amendment which wisoffored
to that important measure. He saya his own
immediate constituents, as well as the people
generally, have a lively intcrestin it. He thinks
an army of Sheriff?, let loo3e upon the poople at

He is a good, consistent aud conservative
