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.

The shot was not trom a negro. The negroes were confined to the \ barracks last night, and after seven o’clock all was quiet.

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.” cross over the Atlantic and wrench Ireland from the British Empire. ffoi THEKN eWTVATOR.
