ESCAPE OF MR. RICHARD O'GORMAN.
DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—We have learned from
Nell-informed source, that Mr. Richard O'Gorman,
'or whose apprehension, on a charge of high treason,
t reward of 3001. had been offrred by the Govern-
has at length effected his escape from this
country. On Thursday last Mr. O'Gorman, with
wo other fugitives, Messrs. J. O'Donnell, solicitor,
And Doyle, of Limerick, got on board a fishing
smack at a place called Carrig-a-gunnial, on the
Lower Shannon, and were safely conveyed to a vessel
:which had been waiting at sea, out of reach of the
Government cruisers. The vessel at once got under
weigh, and the owner of the smack returned to the
Shannon. It is stated that he received 2001. for his
xertions, after producing a certificate from Mr.
O'Gorman of the faithful discharge of the perilous
duty he had undertaken.
FRESH INSURRECTIONARY MOVE-
MENTS.

Accounts arrive in such various shapes, of renewed
appearances of disturbances in the district between
Carrick-on-Suir and Slievenamon, that it is difficult
to withhold some degree of credence, although no-
thing short of absolute madness in the population
could account for such proceedings on the eve almost
of the Special Commission in the same county. The
Limerick Reporter, a " Young Ireland " journal,
contains the following announcement :—" Just at
going to press we have heard that a large body of
armed peasantry (consisting of several thousands)
are congregated in the vicinity of Slievenamon. Mr.
Doheny and several other leaders are said to be
with them. We have no means of verifying the
rumour."

RE-COMMENCEMENT OF THE
REBELLION.
The Clonmel Chronicle contains the following
astounding intelligence :
"RUMOURED OUTBREAK AT CARRICK-ON-
SUIR, PORT-LAW, AND CURRAGIIMORE.
"The most exciting reports reached Clonmel this
morning of an outbreak at Carrick-on-Suir. A man
from that place came into Clonmel this morning in
great haste, bringing with him all the money he
could collect, to get gold for it. He describes Car-
rick as being in an awful state. The hills all round
covered with armed men, who have forced all the
farmers to give barrels of bread, meat, and other
supplies, as well as arms and ammunition. Many of
them have been also forced to join the movement, and
he stated that Carrick was to be taken forthwith.
Not a labourer was to be seen between Carrick and
Clonmel, until he reached this town ; all have joined
the rebels on the hills, who are represented to number
several thousands.
"We have made every effort to get the facts in
detail ; but, in order to give all particulars to the
public, we dispatched two gentlemen this morning,
at half-past eleven o'clock, for the scene, and now
anxiously await their arrival."
" Two o'clock, Tuesday,
" Chronicle-offices, Clonmel.
" The most distressing anxiety still prevails re-
garding the state of Carrick-on-Suir. One of our
reporters has just returned by the Carrick car, and
gives the following particulars from his own obser-
vation, and from what he has been enabled to ascer-
tain :
"The road and country along presents the most
deserted appearance, but few persons are to be seen,
the labourers have left their occupation, and every-
thing seems at a stand, At Cottage, as I passed
along, I saw a man having all the appearance of a
detective, lurking in a recess which commanded a
most extensive view ; he eyed our car with a suspi-
cious and scrutinizing gaze. At Kilsheelan a few
clusters of persons, chiefly women, were to be seen
talking together mysteriously, each having his own
say about the war now upon them. A little further
on I was informed by a gentleman that Mr. O'Mas
bony had a review of a large body of armed men,
estimated at nearly 1,000 last night, on a road
leading from Slievenamon to Carrick, which they
lined at either side for a considerable distance, and
who are supposed to have gone on towards Curragh-
more.
"At Newtown-hill the insurgents, it is believed,
have formed an encampment, and I am assured by a
person who travelled close by it, that it is covered
with people. The military have formed a camp close
by. Last night Curraghmore was attacked by a
body of insurgents, for the purpose of taking the
swivel-guns and cannon, with which the Marquis of
Waterford recently fortified it. The Marquis sent
for the troops, but I did not hear of the result. A
large body of Marines left Waterford this morning
for the scene, having been first served out with bis-
cuit and meat for some days; they were marched off
by Major-General Macdonald, who is busily engaged
at that place in the disposition of the troops at his
command. Everything leads me to believe that we
are on the eve of another insurrection. When
passing by Coolnamuck wood I easily perceived
that several of the trees had been recently cut
down : they consist chiefly of fine young ash,
exactly suitable for the purposes for which they
are supposed to have been taken—for making pike-
handles.
"At Carrick the greatest excitement prevails, in
consequence of the belief there that the bridge of
Garney had been broken down to prevent the troops
crossing. The arches are still standing, but the
battlements are all demolished, and the roadway
picked up. The 3d Buffs and 83d Regiments, which
were to pass through here to-day, have been stopped
at Carrick, and dispatched to the scenes of disturb-
ance. A gentleman informed me that at Pilltown
two pieces of artillery had arrived and a large number
of troops. The military, which had been sent for to
Carrick, were returning towards Curraghmore ;
horse, foot, and artillery are now on the move in all
directions."
" LATEST FROM CARRICK- ON- SUIR.
" We stop the press to promulgate the following
most important communication received from our
special reporter, from Carrick-on-Suir :
" Carrick-on-Suir, Four o'clock, Tuesday evening.
"As your reporter who accompanied me as far as
the suburbs of this town, and returned by Bianconi's
car which we met there, has doubtless given you a
full account of whatever we learned as we journeyed
along the road, I content myself with relating the in-
formation I have obtained since my arrival here, pre-
mising in the first place that I only vouch for it as
being current here, and looked upon as correct.
" Doheny and O'Mahony have been hovering
about this neighbourhood for the past week, the
former is positively stated to have been here a few
nights ago; one person who does not deny sympathy,
with his cause, told me that he saw him on Wednes-
day night, about half-past nine o'clock ;he was
disguised very little, and had as an object for his
visit to discover the movements of the soldiery, as
well as communicate with Clubbists, who are more
numerous than in any other place in Ireland, taking
into account its size.
"On last Friday evening the excitement com-
menced here when the 85th were passing through ;
one of the men having become inebriated and quar-
relsome, got into a broil with some of the towns-
people, bad blood arose, so that the town was threat-
ened with a serious disturbance. Things went on
more quietly, however, than could have been expected,
and the place itself since then has been peaceable.
Meanwhile the most alarming rumours began to
prevail ; seven Confederate leaders were said to have
imitated the tactics of the military, by getting up
" a flying column," whose quick and sudden
movements are the subjects of general surprise :
one time, at the hill of Carrickbeg, another at Low-
ry's-bridge ; in the evening encamped at Curragh-
more-wood, and away at Kilmacthoisaas in the morn-
ing. Informers themselves are puzzled in giving
secret information to the authorities as to the where-
abouts of the rebels, their movements are so daring
and uncertain.
"Last night there were bonfires on the mountains.
At two o'clock a constable went to Mr. Coulson, R.M.
and roused him from sleep to inform him of a rising
that had taken place near Kilmacthomas ; he imme-
diately dressed and dispatched an express for a com-
pany of the 3d Buffs, to assist the Carrick troops in
an expedition against the insurgents ; they arrived
here at four o'clock, a.m. Meantime, picquets pa-
trolled the streets and vicinity of the town in the ex-
pectation of an attack. In half an-hour after the
