THE FENIAN UPRISING IN IRELAND.
Toe excitement that prevailed for some days touching
the outbreak of Feniansim in Ireland °coml.:Need much
exaggeration as to the dimensions of the insurrection
Now, however. we ale in a position to estimate the
late transactions truly. and their insignificance is
thoroughly demonstrated.
Al the zonth-western extremity of Ireland, in •
district exceedingly wild and desolate, but well known
to traveller. from its natural beauties, lies the whole
seen. of this abortive insurrection. Its events were eon.
fined to the 45 miles of road between the squalid village of
CalltaiV•1111 and the town of Killarney, in the isounty
of Kerry. Cohirciveen is on the ooast, at the head of
Vitlentis harbour, and from that spot the rood runs in •
north-easterly direction by the side of of Dingle Bay to
Killerslin and Milltown. Then it turns abruptly to the
south-east, cud lead, directly to Killarney, on the
celebrated lake of that name. The country in the
neighbourhood is mountainous and barren, bat thickly
wooded round the borders of the lake. English picuare•
seekers have given the town • character of WON
importance, for it contains nearly 6,000 inbakitatioas,
and has several excellent hotels. Tbe whops and banks,
too, speak for the 00DONN1306 of the plus, and the
prorpoot of plunder bad its share, no doubt, in directing
the movements of the insurgents on this town as their
first rendezvous.

The first incident of the story shows that the Fenian
orpnisstion is • rope of sand, and that no man mason'
them can feel sere of his neighbour. On the •ftornoon
of Tuesday • little bore footed girl brought a letter to
Mr. Thomas Oallwoy, the agent of Lord CaaMoore,
saying that it had been given to her by an old man
whom she did not know. This letter, which was
anonymona stated that on that night • strangler would
come by the mail car to Killarney, from Othircithen,
for the purpose of bending an insurrection of Farkas in
the town. A doscriptiou of this person, by which he
might be recognised, was given in the letter, and it wee
added that certain papers could be found in hie
possession. On this information the magistrates acted.
A party of constabulary was despatched to meet the
oar, and in one of the paseengers they identified, with-
out difficulty, the stranger mentioned in the letter.
He proved to be • "Captain" Moriarty, an Irish-
Amerioth, well-known to be connoted with the Fenian
conspiracy, nod on hie peraon were found the doom, nta
which has been described. He was, of course,
detained in custody, and with his arrest was
frustrated the intended rising in Killarney town.
Moriarty is • repulsive looking fellow, who has fought
in the Awoken war, audio there said to have lost is
nose. He has loot his nose indeed, but not in the
warfnre of Man. It is not tens that Fenian despatch.*

possession was one addressed to • man named Sheehan,
• clerk in • drapers shop at Killarney. It via • letter
of introduction, written on the very day of his arrest
February 12, and wiped by • known Fenian, "Colonel"
or "General" O'Connor, an Isiah-American soldier.
The letter, which Ira, guardedly worded, stated that
the bearer would be likely to prove of much moistness
to Sheenan ; and added that "private 'pre were about
that morning, but unless they smell& rot, will the thing
be done without much trouble." Upon this informa-
tion Month, who fought in the Pepsi Brigade—at
lost he *erred in it —was arrested, together with a
tradesman named Gard, a person in • respectable posi-
tion, with a good and growing badness. When these
arrest,. were made, there was not • soldier in Killarney,
or Dearer than Cork, and if the small oonstabulary
force of 20 or 30 men thee in Killarner had been taken
by su , they could not have held out in their
against the numbers that would have been
opposed to them.
It would anin that the insainction, whether peed-
padded or not by the arrest of the Fenian emaapinlior,
Captain Mmiarty,oommenood In the town of Cabirornien,
which has long been an object of suspicion to the police
for its rebellious proclivities. Here a person named
O'Connor, who is said to have bald • commission in the I
Federal army during the civil war, and who may most
charitably be supposed to be a lunatic, organised the
efileient Fentans of the town to tho number of three-
score, or thereabouts, an a forae for the invasion of the
richer district around Killarney. It is pretty clear that
they were armed in some kind of rustic fashion. Their
first measure was to out the wires of the telegraph which
connects ('aliireiveen and Valentin, or otherwise ths
Atlantic sable with the general electric oysters. They
were first met at Kells, • little village about 15 miles
front Cohircivear, by • mounted orderly of the eoc,
dithering force, named Duggan, who had been sent to I
warn the police station at Lkihirciveen of the coming
danger. He was stopped at Kills by a body of 6.) or 70
armed men, who summoned him to monocle: his
despatch and his horse. To tido challenge he
returned • courageous defiance, drew hie sword, and
sueeeeded in cutting his way through the pnrty, but
O'Connor fired • pistol at bim, and wounded him in
the hip. Duggan reeled in his saddle, and fell on the
road. He was not insensible. O'Connor asked him was
be • ystholia, to which the poor fellow replied in the
affirmative. The Fenian leader desired the of his
followers logo for a priest to attend the wounded man,
and to bear the latter in the minutia to some house.
These orders were obeyed, and Father M'Ginn,

the lot extremity. 'Then, Sir," said the leader, "you
gave the information." The pan, raising his hid, said,
"e., I rid so. If necessary I would do it again, and!
am prepared for the conthquireoce." After some discus-
sion they allowed the priest to pies, and they took coo
not to approach the 'iaohs. A doctor was obtained
for fluggiue from iflabireiveren nett day, the pistol-bell
has been extracted, and then is reason to hope that
Dungan, who strove to perform his duty so
faithfully, may not prove • victim to it. After
this, the iosurgenta, still advancing, game upon •
small reastpard station end summoned its single
oorapant to surrender to the " l,lah Republic ;" but,
though they fired upon him, he appears to have escaped
unharmed. Here they took such arms as were to be
bad- not a very impotent prise, if they were of the
usual antiquated pattern served out to the guardian. of
her Majesty's revenue. It does not appear that they
attempted any act of violence, oar did they commit say
outrage in any of the farin-boostas along their line of

said to have paid for. On Wednesday morning the mall
