ACCOUNTS FROM THE SOUTH.

The subjoined extracts from the ftuperary Vindicator,
Leitaster E.rpress, and Freeman's Joutuall of to-day confirm
the accounts 1 forwarded yesterday in carious material
details :

On iVedneaday the Keeper range of mountains Wet the
OCCUO of one cf the most extraoroacary movements inade
I since the tiegi ning of the attempt on the pail. 01 the moor
gent leaders to raise the people. At an curly hour on that
day it was rumoured abroad that some of the leaders were
seen in the direction of Kaloasmon ; and it rat further
coofilently asserted that they had been malting the most
earnest and strenuous ezerticas to exc./Lathe people. A consi-
derablecesenurse, it hes be ell asserted, gathe red around them;
but oleic eto the prompt appearance and intervention of the
Rev. J. Msloney,P.P. Kileoinmon who hial beer ,t id of the cir-
cumstance, the n•tempt to r-use the peoplc-of that district
was iintLatual. The leaders tried to address the peop! iin
the press nee of the rev. geutleman, but ha tuterposed with
a/1 the zealous persuasions imaginable, and p teat
them from doing as they desired. He told them that
it they attempted to make a derucentration It would
only end like that at Bullingarry, in the slaughter of
some and in the fight of others, and iu the disturb-
ance of the public peace. He thus dispersed the people
in ever), quarter, for they had aheady abandoned their
agricultural pursuits, ant ha e 'treated the leaders to
fly as soca as they possib:y could for safety, because, he
alleged, the army and police were closely searching for
them, and there were enemies and spies among their
pretended followers who wield, as soon as they had the
opportunity, hand them over to the authorities The name
of one of the most distioguehed, as well as one of the
, honestest and most talented of the leaders, is montioned as
having been among the p,rty, and it was enough to wring
a pang from the most iron heart to witness the condition
to winch he and those who were with him had been reduced.
1 have heard that one or taro of the party we re very violent
in their demeanour towards the Rev. Mr. Maloney; but be
pitied and deplored the sta.@ they were in V.O touch to say
ant thing calculated to it diet pain.
On Thursday mender, at a very early hour, the entire of
the Keeper mountain, ail the Analesea line of road, and the
avenues in every direction lesd.ng to that ‘a-t range of
highlands were invested by a great quantity of police and
military. Th.. military acre retained on the roads and I
in the lower positioce; the police were sent to scour use
mountains in every poesible di, ection, con a most wrsry
and harassing pursuit they had. The police from Thurles,
Tipp: rary town, Cashel, Cappewhite, &c., were twitched at
'silent from their several sta.ions to the points where it was
considered their prevents you'd be effective; whilst the
.
police from Nenegh, Newport, Birdhiß, and Limerick, were
marched from their etationt to the pointsw here it was thought
they could be of aseieuece. Never did the mouetans wit-
tiest) so great a force asaemblea at or near !hem The ebne,

or pursuit, or by whatsoever name it may be designated
began at once. In some eases it was stated that the e
had gone off to the base of the mountains ; in other. it was
confidently asserted that they had proceeded to the very
apex of the Keeper; and that if the police pushed hard for
that point there was no doubt but that 'hey would succeed
in obtaining the prises they to eagerly *ought for.
The Rev. Mr. Moloney mixed with the people all the day,
most earnestly counselling them to proceed to their work,
and to remain in quietness. Indeed the rev. gentleman's
exertions were of the moat ardent and strenuous character,
snd he succeeded in every respect in securing tranquillity.
The search of the police continued 01 niwLtfa'l, hut without
being able to obtain the object of their vigilance ; and,
wearied almost to death,tbey descended from the mountains.
On Friday the search was continued with un.ibstcd seal on
the Fart of the police and military.

INQUEST ON TWO MEN SLAIN AT BOULAGIL
The inquest was held at Ballingarry, l,y Thomas O'Meara,
Esq., Bouladuff, coroner, and a jury ot the farmers of the
locality, on the bodies of Patrick Dl'Bride and Th.. Walsh,
the two men who were shut dead by the party of police on
Saturday, the 29th July, in the &tiny between the poliee and
the insurgents assembled on the Commons of Boulage The
inquest was attended by one of the Iced msai•tr:te.'. .Ir.
Going, of Ballyebillip, by Mr. Fitzmaurice, }LW, as well
as by General M'Donald and the officers of his shift. The
coroner first took the evidence relating to the death of
M'l3ride, and called John APBrider, bro,her of the &Teased,
who deposed that his brother, who was a servant boy, was
making hey at the side of the road, and when he saw the
crowd he followed them. Anne Walsh, wife of deceased,
deposed so follows .—My husband went to work at twee king
stones abut six o'clock on the morning of ti.es oc us rune.
About twelve o'clock, I saw crowds of people going to the
cornmeal, and heard some chats, but cannot say how
many. I teen went to the widow Cormick's house,
where the shots seemed to be firiog, and saw my husband
lying on the field outside the wall of the house. I wee
Ruing over to hint, when two guns were put out of tat
highest window of the house, and some persons inside cried
out to me to go back, or they would let the light through me.
There was not ► man near the house, or any other person
except myself and my husband, and another men who wee
tying by the wall of the house, struggling with death. The
tier. Mr. Fitzgerald then came up, end I ask. d him to inter-
fere to get my husband's body, that I might bring it
home to wake it. I have one child, and had n.e eay
ot living, except that my husband earned a pound of meal
a day stenebreaking on the relief works It is Smith
O'Brien I blame for my husband's death ; he wcu.d not
hero gone there only for him.—Dr. ktyan swore
that the &Teased had got a guu.shot wound on
one side of the chest, and an aperture on the
opposite side, where the huilet passed out. The shot must
have been fired by some person on a level with the deceased
—that wound cirned death. The jury returned a verdict in
both ernes, that death ensued from gunshot wounds inflicted
by some of the police, who had retired to the %a sal 'w !Jot.
mick's house, and fired in aelf.defence. On the augeertien
of General M'llonald, Anne Walsh was called, and on being
asked did she receive money from Mr. Smith O'Brien alter
her husband was shot, she said that Mr. 0' Bi ieu Rave Ler a
It. note before he left, expressing the great, rt sympathy with
her misfortunes, and telling her to Lary her husliend with
the money. Such is the statement of the Tipperary Vus-
dicalor.

AMERICAN SYMPATHISERS.—We learn that wa,-rants ore
out for the apprehension of more than one American spa-
pathir, of which class we understand it is known +hat t ere
are several specimens now in Ireland. They—gen, rally ex-
Mexican volunteers—are most of them Irish, eitn+t by birth
or parentage. We have heard that some of them hay, been
discovered to have considerab!e earns at money at their
command.—Dublin Week:y Reqiittr.
THE VALVE OF PEACE is being exemplified in Kddare,
one of the most tranquil counties is Ireland, not es en ex-
cepting those of the North. The river Burrow flows thri ugh
a conOderatile portion of Kildare, sad like oar other Irish
rivers has been Buffered to run uncontrolled to its di bouche-
ment. Now the gentry and others are about to clear the
channel of oietructions, by which they calculate on re-
claiming 80,0012 acres of alluvial soil now generally under
waver.
