EXCITEMENT IN CoHSEcTIcUr.-A de-
spa!ch from Danbury, Connecticut, under
date Of the Gath inst, says:
"At the raising of peace flag at New
Fairfield today, about 400 were present.
The attempt to run up the Stars and
Stripes was successfully resisted, and re-
suited in fight. Two peace mea, WiId~
man and Gorham. were seriously wound>
ed, one thought fatally. Shovels, pick
axes, clubs and stones were freely used,
but no fire arms. There were but about
seventy Unionists present. The peace
flag is flying. Great excitement"

Prescription at the Charlestown Navy
Yard.

The Boston Transcript, a Republican
paper, gives the following information,
which shows that the old spirit of pros
scription of foreigners has not been sub
dued in Massachusetts,, even by the sacri-
flee of life by the prescribed class:
"On Tuesday morning more than fifty
men, mechanics and laborers, were dis
charged from the Charlestown Navy Yard
(uear Boston) because they were foreign
ers, and their places were Immediately
filled by natives. Among those removed
were several who had taken out their first
naturalization papers. This is not the
work of the officers of the Yard-for we
know the Commodore has repeatedly SET
his face against invdious distinction-nol
of any of his subordinates, but the Score
tary of the Navy himself. The discharged
men, however, have one privilege, to wit
they may enter the ranks of the army,
and no questions will be there asked
Those who had taken out their first papers
we're undoubtedly entitled to little con-
sheraton at least, Captain Igraham de-
cided in the harbor of Smyrna, with his
strong right arm, that Martin Kozta
though he had only made his declaration
to become citizen, was entitled to the
protection of the United States, and both
government and people sustained him."

NEWSPAPER SUsPENstoN.-TheT Trenton
True american, the Democratic organ of
New Jersey, suspended publication on the
Oath inst, and gave as a reason that the
government has virtually interdicted the
publication of every paper that does not
support the Administration. The paper is
the oldest and one of the most prosperous
in the State.
Several New York City papers have
been suppressed by the "powers that be y

that they lived in a free country. Will

Interesting Discovery in Ireland.


On Monday, July 20, as some laborers
were excavating grave bank at Firville,
near Macroom, Co. Cork, the property of
HENRY HARDING, they opened cave at a
depth of five feet from the urface, in
which were found a quantity of human
bones, together with bones of the horse.
The bones are in small fragments, and
with the exception Of the teeth, which are
still hard, can readily be reduced to pow>
der. They are contained in a matrix OF
clay, which has faint odor of decomposed
animal matter. The only article as yet
discovered in connection with these re-
mains is a circlet of black slate, which
formed portion of an ornament, and was
broken by one of the workmen. 1t is
known that great battle was fought On
this ground in the tenth century, between
Brian BoIoihme, King of Munster, aDd
O'Mahony, of Carbery. The latter bro't
800 Danes into the field as auxliarles,
but was defeated with great slaughter
most Of the Danes being slain. 1t would
appear that deep trench was opened in
this bank, in which were laid promiscu-
ously the bodies Of men and horses. The
gravel drift is here overlaid by stratum
of clay, which, percolating through, gra-
dually cemented the gravel, and when the
animal mass subsidized, a natural arch was
formed over the remains.

newspapers, and Republican knowledge Of
