Deter. JAN. 7.
The following extract front a private letter, dated
Armagh, Jan. 3, in Saunders News Letter, gives a
fearful description. but I have reason to believe, per-
fectly true one, of the disorganised state of the pea-
santry in that part of Inland :
The people are its a fearful state of alarm in this and the
neighbouring counties ; but, for my part, I ant under no
apprehension, en n though the agent of an insurance com-
pany in Belfast refused to issurc my life at any preadult&
You keen I am in vigorucis health, and nut tire-and-thirty',
yet. I bane just heard the latest outrage. A reepeetable
tenant a few dsys ago paid his not privately to the agent of
the prop, rty on which he holds, not far from this neigh•
bourtioo I. Ile was summoned to a sairet‘ng e hen. the
Somas catholie curate and others met to petition the Lind-
lor I for a further reduction, one having been mule iu the
Michaelmas gale amounting to nearly 20 per cent. The
curate rropmed a s, ries of resolutions, which were opposed
by the honest tenant, but ea: tied, and he refused to attesd
again. What was the result? On Thursday night last,
about eight o'clock. be was returning from Newry, when
seven rullans I. U upon him, and left him tor dead. Three
of his ritu were actually separated from his spine, and he
bee in . most precarissus state. The landlord, long resident,
always generous anal imposing, is so disgusted that he is
deliberating whether or nut M. will quit the country stained
with so much innocent blood.

Them was a meeting of the principal landed proprietors
and mogistrstes of Armogh at Unsfonl Castle, on Friday
last, to consider the state of the district. Amongst those
preeent wi re—L nil, thasfonl and Caledon ; Colonel Caul-
feild, M P., lieutenant of the county; Sir Janes Strange,
Colonel Close, Me. The meeting was pirate; but it is
stain, that they adopted en 'damn to the Lord Li, utenant,
sueoroing further pollee arrangements, the key of the tax
fur rates polies as a distinct one, to be eollect,d monthly,
and cerW n inolideations in the jury system, together with
more stringent Lund:dim for the suppression of crime.
Mr. Arthur. of Dundalk, has invited the tenantry
of Mr. Thus. Forteseue, to meet on Friday next in
Dundalk. for the purpose of expressing their ab-
horrence of the system of ribbonism from which
the recent threads to their landlord have ema-
nated. He says:—" However sonic of us may fed
aggrieved with the recent valuation of his property,'
as a standard for fixing his rents in future, we ought
not to lose an instant in giving him and the public
our sincere and unanimous assurance that we do not
seek for the redress of any grievance under which
we labour, by the agency of crime, and that we
utterly denounce and deprecate any violation what-
ever of the laws of God and man."
It is stated to be the determination of Mr. For-
fescue to leave the country in consequence of the
threats against his life. Mr. Eastwood still lingers
in a precarious state. The Deify Express says:—
" We have been informed that on Monday three per-
sons—one of whom is an approver—were arrested
and lodged in Dundalk gaol, on a charge of being
concerned in the murderous assault committed on
this gentleman."

MTiTERIOVS DEATH AT DAnTionD.—The excite-
ment occasioned by the late awful occurrence in the above
town had no sooner subsided before it was again 'roused
by the discovery of the body of a fine young man, with his
neck broken, lying in a deep cutting of the railway, about
half a mile from the Dartford station, about 40 yards from
a bridge called Fulwiehbridge, which crosses the railway
in the same wish. The name of the deceased Is Alexander
Reed, of Whitby, a sailor. belonging to a collier called
the Lavinia, of Stockton, now lying in Long Reach. He
had been in company with a girl who had about a fort-
night lived at a lodging house in the Bull and George
yard, in the High street. She, it appears, met a young
mass of the name of Nettlaigiuun, of Dartford, who
was returning from his club, about half-past 12 o'clock en
the Sunday morning, in Avery.street, which leads down to
the railway, and also to the bridge before mentioned. She
told him that a young man whom she had just been with
had linen down a cutting near Fulwich.bridge, and she was
afraid he was killed, and asked Nettlingbam to go sad see
shout him. He said he would, if she would accompany his,
which she at Ant refused to do, but afterwards consented.
She told Nettlingham where she lived. They then proceeded
to the bottom of the street, where the railway intersects, and
proceeded along the line of railway to the spot in ques-
tion, where they found the body of the unfortunate
deceased, apparently dead, lying et the foot of the cut-
ting. Information was given to police-constables Lilly-
white and Hickey, who were on duty in the town.
The police immediate) y went for medical assistance (Mr.
Fisher's assistant), and afterwards the five all went to-
gether to the spot, where the body was lying. On coming
up to the deceased they found him lying on the left aide,
his fare turned partially on the ground, with his left arm
bent node him, blood oozing front the nostrils, sad his
neck broken, and of course life tails engem. On the me-
dical man stating that he was deal. the pedal proceeded et
