LATE FROM III OPE-

The news brought by the America 10 Of
the utmost importance, The crisis SO long
expected in Ireland has nearly arrived, and
we may expect every moment to receive news
OF a terrible instruction. The organization
Of the clubs proceeds rapidly, surely and efsc-
lively, and they seem to partake, to a great
extent, Of a military character. $4,000 con-
federates, 1t Is said. are ready otake the field
well armed, equipped and munitioned, and il
is also stated, that 10000 stand of arms had
been pu released 10 London for the use Of the
Irish insurgents. At Carrick the people and
the authorities had already come into collision
but the former achieved a bIoodless victory by
compelling the release ofthose of their num-
Der who had been arrested. ea
The Nation still continues its instruction in
military .~tractics and If it's lessons are not
thrown away the confederates will enter the
field with at least the knowledge. if not The
~praticaI experience, of veterans. Among the
arrests which have recently been made, we
find the names of MessEs. Varian, Bonrke,
Lane, and J, O'Brien.
France, under the government of her Bour-
geoisie Aristocracy remains tranquil. Nothing
Of importance had occurred since the depar-
ture of the last steamer.
The war between Denmark and Prussia is
suspended for the present, and it is supposed
that a permanent peace will ensue. From
other parts Of Europe we have not much of
Importance. The Hungarian Diet opened on
the 9th ult. and on the 18th the German
Parliament received e. Regent at Frankfort.
Russia continues her movements upon
Moldavia, Wallachia and seFvia, and the
cholera, continues to rage both in the Tur-
kish and Russian dominions.

TIE MAGNETIC TELEGRApH

REA ~ ~
II has been represented that certain persons
have been soliciting subscription, to tho stock
Of The "PeopIe's Line" Of Telegraph build
ing by Mr.. O'Kciliy, and that statements have
been made that a compromise has been Effected
with Prof Morse by which the line of MOrse'a
Telegram now building is to be discontinued.
To put the public on their guard against
being deluded by these misrepresentation it
is necessary only to say.
1sts That no compromise has been or will
be made-Mr. U'Reilly has no right TO uso
any Of Morse's inventions South Of the Ohio,
and that the instrument be is now using In
claimed by Morse to be an infringement on
bis patent and will be 50 treated.
I'd. The Peoples Line'' has no charter
from Mississippi, Alabama or Kentucky, there.
fore every subscriber 1eaders himself indiridm-
ally hab1 far any and all The de6s incurred By
The company.
Sd. Morse's Line alone has the right Of
way through those states, as it alone is char
tered.
4th. The instrument attempted to be used
by Mr.. O'Reilly is not patented.
The regular New Orleans and Ohio line
under Morse's patent is now progressing from
the North, 1t Will be probably be completed 10
New Orleans before next December.
The wires are now extended from Louis
vile to near Jackson, Mississippi, and tho

MEETING Ar BARrEtL's-0n Thursday last nc.
cording to previous appointment a Taylor, meeting
was held ut Dfr, Bartells. Contrary 10 the assertions
of the Advocate, the speakers instead Of being obliged
to address their auditory in the woo1s, found avery
accommodation al Mfr, Bartells that could be desired.
The i~nclemoncy Of the weather was nnlavenhle to a
large meeting, still quite a large number Of persons
were present, and although avowed Cas- men, they
listened with the mos, profound attention throughout,
In conclusion we would say that some few of Coss
friends in ,his town. who 80 triumphaniIy talked
about Taylor men being driven Off from Bartell's,
had better 20 out there and apologize for doing theiF
constituency sslch foul injustice. tts
