Two n< _ r ro soldiers came to the scene
of h toting with musket*. cursing fu
riot: v. but were ordered back by offi
cers. They ebeyed. but came in the
same style, and with a market,"but was
prevented.
A collision between the whites and
blacks at one time was greatly feared,
as there was much excitement. The
officers, however, ordered a. I the col*
ored troops to the barracks. The offi
cers used their best endeavors to avoid
all difficulty and promised that the cit
izens should be unmolested.
A gentleman, Mr Sol. Crew while
walking: along quietl at Duran's cor
ner alter the nhooUug, w;is knocked
down by a mu-ket in the hands of j
a negro -ddier. Afterwards several
shots were hi-” ! fruit tite barracks in
Hank’s building.
In the excitement Mr. ]>. Ledbet
ter, wiiiiy in the crowd, was accident- ;
ally slier in tne leg I. a giuueing ball.
The shot was not trom a negro.
The negroes were confined to the \
barracks last night, and after seven
o’clock all was quiet.
The officers of the garrison here
have, we believe, tried to avoid diffi
culties md have everything $o on,
pleasantly; but a large majority of the ;
uegro sol.tier- have done all in their
power t provoke trouble, and have 1

>iuce writing tiie above we learn
that Major Warner, formerly of the ,
Naval Iron Works, who was walking j
on the opposite side ol the sti cet. was
shot in the leg bv a ball fired from one
of the windows of the barracks in
Banks’ building- His leg was amnu
fced above the knee a short time after,
by Dr. Foard, {Stanford and others.

FENIANIUn,
Our readers have seen so much of Feni-
I anisin in the papers, that by this time they
all, perhaps, understand what it means.
We see m a II ■ • >avannah paper, the Ad*
• r that the oriier. revolutionary asso
i eiation or clique, is about to be introduced
m Georgia. Why should our people wish
to join it ? There can no good come of it.
The Fenians do not pretend to be banded !
together for the greater security of the I
Government of the Untied States, on the :
contrary, they are endangering the very ;
existence of that government by compros I
mising it. wiih foreign powers. They do
not pretend to be banded together for the
rebel of *ujFrrh>ff Americans, on the con
trary, they are endeavoring to precipitate
them into revolution, and thus again bring
upon them the horrors of war. They do
not pretend to the establishment of the j
independence of ihe'Sout.h. but thev design ‘
rw O j
t” engage the South in a war of indepen
dence for the Irish. What claim have the !
Dish, as a people, upon the South ? YY'as j
not Ireland the great recruiting depot of :
the N tli. to fill up the depleted ranks of 1
th'“ Federal armies in a four years war
agai'i-t the liberties of the South ? They j
were the friends of the No~th, let the Norih 1
fight their battles for freedom. The Souih
la- ol in her own struggle for freedom—
will she now undertake tiie cause of the i
Irish? In our opinion. Fenianism is a 1
delusion. Without a declaration of war
against England, on the part of the United
S:at is it can never even tie respectable
anil what Fenian anticipates such a decl.-t- ‘
•ration? Are there any who believe the
United States will ever bes - ss > unjust, j
ot so careless of the national welfare, as !
entirely to disregard the neutrality laws
and set ail nations at defiance? It ever
they do. it will be wneu the Government i
in the hands jf a Robespierre, and a Con- !
gress ot like compeers, in which event, the
Fenians will have more than they can do
to preserve their own heads, much less.”

The report of the Chic) Engineer

iii the Bay of iiiscay, pf Steamship.
London.
I Shi’ had on board 270 souls. The
—survivors sixteen of tbe crew and
t —three pss- eiigers were landed at Fait
—mouth. Janimrv 16 :
“It. was 10 o’clock on the morning
of that fatal Thursday that Captain
Martin had the terrible task of making
: known to the 200 passengers that the
ship was sinking, and that the}’ must
prepare for the worst. She was then
as low in the water as th • main chains,
whole oWhe paesengets ami i
| gathered, fts with one consent, in the
i chief saloon, and having been calmly
told by Capt. Mar in that tliere was
no hope left, remarkable and unani
moua spirit of resignation came over
them at once. There was no scr am
iny or shr : eking bv women oi men,
no rushing on deck, or frantic cries.
All calmly resorted to the saloon, where
Itev. Mr !ra])er, one ot the passen
. irors. prayed aloud, .and exiwfttd the
unhapjy creatures by whom he wa.-
surrounded- ‘ t ismav was present to
every heart, but disorder to none
. Mothers over the little
ones about with them to be eugufed,
and the children, ignorant of their
coming death, were pitifully injuring
the cause oi so much woe. Friends
were taking leave of friends, as if pre
-1 paring for a iong journey; others were
i crouched down with ilihles in their
hands, endeavoring to snatch eonsoJa
; tion Iron* passages long known or lung
! neglected. Incredible, we ate told,
| was the composure which, under such
! circumstances, reigned around. Capt.
1 Martin stationed himself in the poop,
; goingaoccasionally forward or in o- the
i saio.n; but to none .could he offer a
word of comfort by telling them that,
their safety was even probable, lie
joint and now and thß lor a tow moments
in’ tiie public'devotions, hut bis place
!to the last \va.- on the deck About 2
!. o'clock in the afternoon, the water
i gaining’- fast on tiro ship and no signs
. oi ttiestoim subsiding being apparent:
i a small band of men determined to
, trust tiieim-elves to tfie mercy of the
waves in a boat rather than go down
withoui. a struggle. Leaving the sa
loon, therefore, they got out and low.
j ered away the port cutter, into which
i sixteen of the crew and three of tlm
i passengers succeeded in setting and in
launching her clear of the ship.
These nineteen men shouted for the
i captain to come with them, but, with
i that heroic courage wliieh|was his: chief
characteristic, he declined to go witli
them, saying: No,. I will go down with
[ the passengers: but I wish you God
f speed and safe to land. The boat
i then ‘palled away, teasing about help*
.''iesslyon the crest of the gigantic wav
e*.. Scarcely had they gone eight’. ’
yards, or been five minutes off the
deck when tee fine steamer went down
stern, few must with her crew of human
bings, from whom one cry pless
terror arose, and all was silent for ever.
After the piunace had got away
from t e L )ndon and in t lie brief inter
va’l before si e foundered, a rush was
seen to re made for the two remaining
•j boats, but the efforts to launch them
were in ffoct'ual. aa sudden 1
of the foundering at ia-t—*he London
being an iron ship—prevented what
might have been a successful second
effort to save a tew more fives.
