enee, there have been over 60 changes in
the heads of the Government
Only two Presidents have serv.A ort
their legal terms of Office and QUIETLY ,svs

IMPORTANT, If TRUE-The New York
correspondent Of the London Times draws
attention to the association in tho United
States known as the "Fenian Brotherhood"
whose members are all Irishmen, and whose
objects are the invasion of Ireland and the
establishment Of an Irish republic. In
case Of war with England, says the vritak,
the Fenians are to be let loose in ireland,
and 1t is likely that the American Govern.
ment will Immediately recognize the Irish
as belligerents, and that the ship builders
from Boston and other places will construct
rams, monitors and iron-clads, to break auy
blockade Of the Irish coast which the En-
glish may establish.

4 Short Creed.- Richard II. Dana,
Esq, a leading member Of the Mas
asachusetts Republican State Conven.
ton, thus lays down his own and
the creed Of those who agree with
him.
Our duty to the country is, in my
Judgment, to have short and sim
pie creed. That creed is to stand by
the Administration in prosecuting
this war to the final extinction of
the rebellion, and to make no politi-
cal concessions to rebels in arms.
On this we can unite the people-all
but the few l have referred to, who
never will support the WARRIOR the
people do not believe and cannot be
made to believe that their liberties
are in danger. The question of
modes and means and final settle
1aents, and the doctrines on which
they rest, should be matter of refec-
ton and study-to some extent Of
the public discussion, but not made
in advanced conditions of loyal Co
operation, and even in their public
discussion, wemay wellus prudence
and self-restraint. Our duty to others
is to do that which in our most sol
emn applications we may ask to be
done for us-to strengthen those who
stand, to comfort and help the weak
hearted, to raise up those who fall,
in the hope that thus, at last, Satan
may be beaten down under our
feet.

Our news from the Rappanannock is
upto Sunday morning. arAt that time
our left wing was in posessionof Freder-
icksburg, and Of fthe first line ofredoubts
on tile hill behind it. and was feeling its
way to the second line. 81 The river was
crossed, and the redoubts carried with
great ease and very slight loss Of life.
The rebels had marched away in the
direction Of Charlottesville, to attack
our right wing there posted, leaving at
first 10000, but subsequently not more
than 5000 TO 1000 men in their works,
as was ascertained by reconnaissance
from loves balloon. ''
A great portion Of our Falmouth batter
les were engaged on Saturday whit the
rebel batteries firing across the river and
in the city. awe
The fire Of musketry and cannonading
on the right, in the direction Of Chan
cellorsville was very heavy. The enemy
had been forced to fight on ground of
Hooker's choosiug-as he. promised his
soldiers. 1t was believed in both wings
that Stoneman's expedition to cut the
railroad between the rebels and Richmond
had proved successful-thas cutting off
the path Of retreat.
So confident was Hooker at Falmouth
o. success, that in conformity with his
orders. force had already commenced to
rebuild bridge over the Rappanannock.
The troops are in the finest spirits, aud
everything looks propitious.
New York May 4,-The Herald has an
extra, giving dates to II Am on Sunday,
stating the rebel stores near Fredericks-
burg and Stonemsn Station had been burn
ed, and gives rumors that our right cap
tured sixteen pieces Of artillery; that the
Irish brigade took three batteries,
that our cavalay were tearing up railroad
tracks and destroying rebel property and
that we advanced one mile yesterday. and
were still driving them with great slaugh-
