The Americas News
LODI AAIn

a
The news brought by the America. is Of the.
utmost Importance. The crisis SO long ex-
peCted in Ireland has nearly arrived, and we
may expect every moment to receive news Of
a terrible insurrection. The organization Of
the clubs proceeds rapidly, surely and efFec-
lively, and they seem 10 partake, to a great ex-
tent, Of a military character: $4,000 con-
federates, it is said, are ready to take the field,
well armed, equipped and munitiOned and it is
also stated, that 10000 stand Of arms had been
purchased in 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 bloodless victory, by
compelling the release of those Of their NUM-
Der whOhad been arrested.
Among the arrests which have recently been
made, we find the name of Messrs. Varian,
Bourke, Lane, and J. 0'Brien.
A Privy Council was held at Dublin Castle
on the 10Th, at which the Lord Lieutenant pre-
sided, when it was resolved to proclaim the
following places under the Coercion Acts
County and city Of Dublin, county and city OF
Cork, county and city of Waterford, and cOun-
ty and town Of Droghedu.
Barbados have been erected in the streets
Of Kilkenny,
The Government, along with a strong body
Of constabuIary, are concentrating troops in
Waterford and its neighbOrhoOd. Troops have
marched from Wexford in that direction, and
from Kilkenny this morning.
There has been a I" brush'' at Carrick-on-
SUR. A Clonmel correspondent thus des-
cribes the affair:
"The Carlick people on hearing the arrest
Of some of the club members, and the rumoT
that one of their own curates was marked out
for arrest, rose en- masse, and with arms in their
hands, consisting of rifles and pixies, repaired
to the authorities and demanded the release oil
the prisoners. who were at once delivered up
to them.
They then rung the chapel bells, when 1000
men descended from the neigbOring hills, arm-
ed to the teeth, who remained at Carrick all
night, lest an attempt should be made to arrest
Father Byrne. The delivery of the prisoners,
and the withdrawal of the few troops were
considered as a triumph. There is no mistake
in the national feeling.
The intelligence Of the rising at Carrick-
on-Suir was received all through TIpperary
with enthusiasm. On Monday night the
mountains were all in a blaze with fres, from
Slievebloom to Slievenanon, and the peasantry
crowded around them in large masses.
The cheering along the Waterford range
was distinctly heard at Clonmel, and clubs
turned out to do homage to the general en'hu
siasm.
The purchase and manufacture Of arms are
proceeding rapidly.
Last week eighty stand of arms were Pur-
chased by the DR.. Doyle Club, Of which Mr..
Duffy, of the Nation, is the President. 10000
stand of disused military flint musketS have
been purchased in London for the use Of the
insurgents, and all coming over in patches.
Hyland, the noted pike-maker, has left Dub
lin for Carlow, with a large consignment Of
pixies.
Crops of every description never promised
such abundance. Potatoes are only I'D. the
stone of IA lbs. Our advices relative to the
potato rot in Ireland are contradictory, some
ascertaining that it has not appeared, and
others declaring that il has commenced it's
ravages in many parts Of the country.
