ORANGE OUTRAGES.

ARMAGH, JULY 13th.--At an early hour this morning, the
village of Killelca was filled with Orangemen, whe had assem-
bled from various parts of the county to celebrate the 12th of
July. Orange flags were suspended from the windows; an
immense Orange arch spanned the street, beneath which
every reluctant Catholic or liberal Protestant was obliged to
pass, the space at each side of the arch being occupied by
fierce, menacing bandits, who only seemed impatient for an
opportunity of displaying their assassin courage. Bodies of
Orangemen, marching to the town, were playing the most offen-
sive party tunes, were decorated with Orange sashes and ribbons.
For many evenings previous to this display, drums were heard
beating on the hills, shots were fired, party tunes were played,
presenting a scene to the spectator, as if the country were in
a state of civil war. On the evening of the 12th (Sunday
evening) the beautiful village of Caledon presented one
scene of riot and disorder not to be described. The Orange-
men paraded the town, firing shots, shouting "to Hell with
the Papists," and behaving in such a way as to disgrace any
civilized country. Detachments of cavalry were sent to all
parts of the county where Orange processions have been ex-
pected. All friends of Ireland, and indeed of humanity, feel
the deepest debt of gratitude to the Earl of I‘lulgrave for the
determined part he has taken in protecting life and property
from Orange outrage in the county Armagh. It is to be re-
gretted however, that so many magistrates of this county are
high Tories, and, consequently not disposed to aid the present
Government in carrying its measures into effect. The writer
of this saw the entrance gate of a Magistrate, who does not
reside far from Killela, decorated with Orange ; arid although
said Magistrate lives only a short distance from the scene
where the foregoing disgraceful affair took place, yet no means
of prevention were taken. An orange and blue flag was
hoisted on• the top of a tree which grows within a few perches
of the Deputy Lieutenant's house.
In Newry, Armagh, Dungannon, and all the neighbouring
towns, the Orangemen attended church in great numbers, and
no interruption, excepting in one instance, occurred to their
partizan exhibitions.

An Enniskillen correspondent informs us, that on Friday,
the fair day of that town, the Orangemen conducted them-
selves in the most outrageous manner. With scarcely an
exception, the Magistracy are Orange, and, of course, cannot
be expected to restrain the violence of those with whom they
associate in the lodges. One remedy for the evil would be
the appointment of stipendiaries. As far as we can learn, all
was tranquil in Monaghan and Cavan on the 12th ; but the
presence of Mr. Greene and the other stipendiary magistrates
sent by government to-those districts had, no doubt a salutary
effect.

BANDON.—The boy who was wounded by one of the
Orangemen during the affray on the Ist of July, has since
died. The Cork Reporter says ;
An Inquest has been held, and the party charged committed
for trial at the approaching Assizes. The Magistrates have,
it seems, sent to the Castle the names of six persons at each
side who were prominent in the affray. What a mockery is
this ! They were directed by the circular to take effectual mea-
sures for the preservation of the peace of the town ; the means
of doing so were obvious— a police force at their disposal would
have cleared the streets of both parties, and removed the incite-
ments to riot, and, as it has unhappily turned out, to the shed-
ding blood—the trees and party emblems—without the slight-
est difficulty. Do these Gentlemen suppose that any Govern-
ment can suffer such a dereliction of duty to pass with impu-
nity.—Waterford Chronicle.
