The radians.
Tk«tM)i of Gen. War Walker in Cen
tral America, and of Lopes in Cuba, seem
raallj to hare been the prototypal model*
that the Faoiana have selected in their lata
invasion of Canada. There scarcely seems
a man connected with the whole affair that
hat a grain of military sense in his noddle.
They arc foolishly, recklessly brave—as
finch so as a native of the spice islands,
who, when tired of life, “ runs a muck and
tilte at all he meeta.”
From first to last, tho whole thing has ap
peared aa if they thought the world was ex
peetiag something of them about this time,
and not having themselves agreed upon any
programme, 4 ,hey bare pitched out helter
skelter; end the developments show that
:0 to of them intended it for mere farce,
others for ootnedy, and others again for trag
edy or epic, while the majority of them went
in blinds with some sort of aaenrancc there
was to be aome sort of flgtit. The object of
the Invasion was a mockery. Most of theso
Fenians were red with the slaughter of
Southern citisens—helping to make the South
another Ireland. They now sco how much
the U. 8. Government loves them for coming
over end helping hor conquer the South.
Now, let the Fenians pitch in the forth
coming European war ; they can help Hus
sia kill out the remnant of the Poles, or join
tbe Austrian armies, and keep down the
Italians and Hungarians; and then, map hr,
theso grateful governments will endeavor
to influence England to liberate Ireland —
provided England secs fit to do so.
With that portion of the Fenians—and
thero are' some few in that category—who
did not fight against the South wc sympa
thise ; but for those _who wickedly eame
over to fight ns, wo have not a particle ol
sympathy. They sre fit for nothing but
slaves, and wc are sorry they evor broke out
from thehr prison-isle, and wo caro not if
Great Britain holds all such in slavery till
dooms’s day—the closer, the better ; at any
rate, so they be kept in their place, if poor
Dixie should ever wink her eye again.
The Fourth of July.
This memorable anniversary is close at
hand, and we are rejoiced to witness that no
true Southern man is making himself a fool
about it—that is, boring every one he meets
in suggesting propor plans as to the best
methods of celebrating it. What, an im
mense amount of rhetoric and rigmarole has
been eructated forth in eulogy of what have
bfect>) and still are, callod the great princi
ple* of tho Declaration of luih'pcndcnce.
Principles forsooth ! The whole thing strip
ped of its sonorous verbiage, just means
the common plaoe truism that, all men were
oreated free and equal— not abtolutrly so,—
but In tho varioua eorrcllations of hfo. Fur
illustration, the correlations of man and wo
man, adult and ohild, parent and offerin',
governing and governed, husband and wife,
maater and servant, employer and employee
presuppose oertain duties tnd rights growing'
respectively out of the relation, and these
bnd long before been insisted upon in tho
ethioal codes of every nation, Vagan as well
as Christian. By virtue oi the relation, n
iaihbr, n husband, a governor, or a master,
ean legitimately go so far, and in this re
spect they are equal. If the futher trans
cenda the powers he derives from the mere
paternal relation, they are not biuding on
the child, and if the child has no other re
<kts», He nan break from the relation and
consider it no longer binding. In the same
way can tho wife absolve herself from every
obligation to the husband, and the servant
from his master, and tho subject from the
rulor.
The thirteen colonies wcro provinces of
Qmt Britain, and bore the relation of chil
dre»yU it were, to the parent government,
and 1 deeming themselves treated unparrnt
al/y,lb\t they had a right to tear loose from
tho-relation; and the principles of tho Dc
tfintka of Independence bnt little more |
dtonjoei reiterated that old doctrine A b«o
eojality of all men was never intended :

County Court.
Tkalnt Wrw of this Court, sos the
County of SpnhMwg, convened Ve this pi *ce
„o last Monday, and adjourned on the rve
timr of the tallowing day—his Ilonor .Lai's,
s. Boynton presiding. The Grand Jury
consist! and of the following wain and g-nllc
mcn :
JAMES S JONKS, i'wenma
T. J. Ison, B F. Willw,
Wm .J. Berry, .Film W Patrick,
Wni S. Berry, Geo. D. Johnson,
J hn T. Hansom, Charles F \ewfon.

R. P. McWilliams, 11. T. Brawner,
John K. Buchanan, J. 0 Sears.
The people of this county h ive g *>d rein
on to felicitate themselves on the 1 ueci--Gil
inauguration ot this new court. Judge Boyn
ton in this his first e-say upon tho buich
has developed qualifications that prove him
eminently sui'ed fur the position Ilia
charge to the jury ua u able ami explieit, and
delivered with an ca-y dignity ami quiet
Self-possession, t at to a stranger might have
carried the impression that lie was a veteraw j
on the Bench, instead of a novice, and fresh
«t that from a four years’ fight.
The County Solicitor, Mr. Pill Ji. Brown,
was indefatigable in attending to tho func
tions of his office, and will make an cfficie.it
officer. At any rate, lie and the Grand Jo
ry together, have made a good stnt, h r
being quite a number of true i.ills h>uu
against sundry parties who will he ti i• .r
the next monthly .'.essiou of the C. iii.t .
Court.
There was hut o.»e case triid ill \'l.
conviction was had, to wit :
The State vs. Cary McCard, Carrying
Concealed Weapons. Solicitor Broun u. i
F. D. Distnuke for the State, and J D
Stewart for the Defendant. Verdict : Guilty.
The defendant was only about seventeen
years old and wa-i working industriously to
support his widowed mother, and not able to
pay u heavy fine. The Court, therefore, fire I
him (nly ten dollars and cost.
The Grand Jury was discharged until the
second Monday in next month, and will not
bo finally discharged until the biannual Hcs-h n
of tho court in August next, V when anothi r
grand jury will be drawn to serve at each
monthly sc-sion for six months thereafter.
By this means there i- a grand jury in each
county all the while, whose duties, among
others, arc to notice and report all violations
of the Penal Laws at their monthly sessions,
which wo think is a good feature in the or
ganic act of this Court. These frequent
meetings of tho Grand Jury will he the
cause of a number of minor offences being
noticed, and the nflVndcrs being brought, to
justice that would otherwise ho Ibreotton
and passed over. The prospects t.ow are
that this country will soon he relieved of a
great many minor <.lienees which uiv a great
evil in all communities, hut have seldom
been noticed by our courts for several years
past.

- el-op, or .-('ino other writer of fables, re
lates the following: In the Island of Crete
thero dwelt 'oriucrly a feeble but plucky
little fellow who owned a black ram, which
he had with his family, ami was the pet of
his children. It played with them, hauled
them in a little wagon, and in a thousand
ways showed its loudness for them. Hut
'free of the neighbors of the little man had
long looked with an tvil eye at his comfort
and enjoym nt, and came to him saying.
We wish to sacrifice to our God, ar.d have
come fur your I l ick ram which was burn for
nobler things than merely to contribute to
your h oppini ss But the owner said : land
my children love the black ram, and ate not
willing to see l ini slain ; besides, your Grid
is not "iir tied, why- then should we make an
obla'ioii for you f 1 will not give up my
black ram. And tlun be made so fierce an
assault en his three robust neighbors, that he
intimidated tin in. and they sent a gn at way
oil' nid got four great, hulking fellows tn help
them. Ar.d they put tho bullies in the fore

under loot. Tho e neighbors of tlie little
man. wlio lavtd him and worshipped the
same God, toll de limed hi.s hot temper and
rash impetousitv, and thought that a good
pounding would make him a better citizen.
So they stood quietly by while the four bul
lies wire beating and the three neighbor.-
were pushing them on from behind.
Now when the three neighbors saw that
the little man could- resist no longer, they
took the places of the four bullies and beat
away till they were wearied. Then they
made a great least and sacriliced tho black

New York, -Tune 10.—A special dis
patch from St.-Albans announces the end
of the Fenian invasion, and says the re
: niaining wing of the army has retreated to
that place from Pigeon Hill, and w, re pre
paring to go home, the whole force c ‘inp.ete
!lv demoralized. 'I he officers arm men re
ius ii to do doty, and de.-ericd by the whole
j .-ale. After a council ol war, General Spear
i reluctantly ordered die force to abandon the
oil of Canada. No arms or reinforcements
, had reached them, and General Spear said
1 he had rather be shot thin to leave in such
I x way. The United States Government is
furnishing homeward transportation to the
Feniars who gladly avail themselves of the
offer. General Meade made a speech to the
United Slates soldiers, and said that a settle
ment of this trouble would prove satisfactory
to our own and other governments, as tend
ing to show that the United S’ares would do
unto others as she would have others do un
to her. General Spear a>;d staff surrendered
at Ogdecshurg.
As pecial dispatch states that an American
schooner was hailed by a British armed ves

The American captain ran up his colors,

Wasiiixuton, June 10.— Horace Gree
lev, and uthers from New York, are in town,
their business being tg see Judge Under
wood in order to urge upon him the justice
and propriety of admitting tx President
Davis to bail. Some Congressmen £peak
.confidently that Mr. Davis will bo admitted
to bail, while others remain firm in opposite
I opinion.
Washington, June 11. — St ea, of the,
. e 'tinsel of -Mr. Davis, made a motion before
Judge Underwood, in chambers, in order to
j test tbe jurisdiction of the courts in Virgin
ia, involving tbe power to bold a prisoner to
[bail, it being a judicial question that the
President has nothing to do with Judge
| Underwood expressed the opinion, which
has always been insisted upon by Chief Jus
tiee Chase, that so lung as martial law or
military surveillance w*s in force iti Virginia,
’he cour:s were a mere military adjunct, and
to be used in aid of tlie military power.—
Judge Underwood declines issuing a habeas
corpus writ to bring the prisoner before his
court until he received from the President a
relitiqui-hnient ot the aecu-ed from the civil
authorities, Mr. Davis being now a prisoner
lot war. Judge l uderwood reduced his
! opinion to writing, which was delivered to
the President by Mr. O'Connor AJ action
is suspended in the premis s until further
orders from ihe Government, It is stated
on the authority of one ol the counsel, that
no appii ati'.n for bail was made to Chief
Justice Chase or Attorney .General Speed
Charles O’Connor and Ex-Govenor Pratt
were among those present in Judge Under
wood’s chambers today. Within the la-t
few days Mr. Davis’s friends, professional
and otherwise, have lutd lice admission to
him.
The passage of flic resolution by the
House today, declaring in its opinioi| that
Mr. Davis should he kept in custody until
trod by law, was superinduced by the ap
Iprehmsion that he would he baikd. The
