The Fsnian Brotberhood.

SLHNLLANOi NOf- II.
DEAR EDITORS ION hearing man of
intelligence recently descsnting upon the
merits of the Fenian Brotherhood, I found
him very dogmatical in the opinion that it
was a secret organization. One of the argu-
mentI which he used in support Of his
views was that the Cleveland Morning
LEADER, of the 9Th ult., in referring to the
Fenians of Toronto, Canada, represented
them to be such. Now, as 8 member of
that body, and as one who is sensible Of
the hberality of your paper, am induced
to offer these few lines in its defence, lest
there be others who labor under the same
erroneous impression.
The Fenian Brotherhood is by no means
a secret organization. Passwords are not
used by any of its members, much less
oaths- 1t is composed of men who have
simply banded themselves together in or
der to achieve Irelands national indepen-
dence, even if it must be done by the rife
and sword. True it is that the majority
Of the Fenians are sons Of 1rels I'd and Rd-
herents OF the same faith; but there is no.
thing in their Constitution which will de-
prive any man Of membership in conse-
qaenee of his creed OF nationality. All who
feel disposed to join its ranks, in sincerity,
viii be received IS men who are assisting to
free land from Il iron heel of monster
which has crushed it during the last seven
oentuFies.5
It would be by no means q matter of
surprise were the most intelligent Ameri-
cans to regard it as not only infamous, but
an illegal institution, when it is ruthlessly
assailed by those who should be the very
last to hurl their sspersions against it. Yet
we feel confident tkat its history alone will
shield it from the tongue of calumny; that
it will be found to be composed of men
who embrace the principles of liberty
which dwell in the inmost recesses of every
! Irish-American heart
Feeling confident that have already
trespGssed too far upon your valuable space,
1 will simply say that by inserting the
above, you will immessurabIy oblige
Your humble servant,
FENIAN.

The New York News walls over the
death Of Democracy.

death Of Democracy.
The New York Nevs, chiefest of Cop
perheads, is in great mental agony over
the destruction of the Democratic party.
Mcclellan, like the Old Man of the ses
that elung to Sinbad the Sailor, succeeded,
says the NelOs, in dragging the Democracy
to q watery grave. ofhim it speaks
SOLDIERS VoTE FOR MCCLELLAN
Gen. Mcclellan, it must be remembered,
will secure the soldiers vote, no other
Democrat can get it Such were the words
constantly dinned in the ears of the Dem
ocracy previous to the Chicago Convention,
by the supporters of the hero of Antietsm.
No other man would ans Eer-no other
man could get the soldiers vote. And this
secured his nomination and his nomina-
tion secured the election of Lincoln by an
overwhelming majority. Where is the
soldier vote? In overwhelming majority,
the army gave its support to Lincoln,
Many ofthe regiments voting as q unit
against the Democratic nominee"
The Net0s also laments the failure of the
democracy at Chicago to commit themselves
to the doctrines OF peace and State rights.
OF the abandonment of peace principles
it says:
"General Mcclellan has thus become
the beginning, middle, and end of theeon-
Aict that has just terminated; and now
that he has passed away forever as q plat
form of party, the democracy stand not
only defeated, but being shorn of all rally
ing principle of their old Constitutional or
gsnizstion, demoralized." M 20 E-ls
Poor NelOsI What sorry mishaps in
attempting to carry the democracy over to
Jef. Davis. Alasl for the men who at
tempt te sell their country and liberty to
their chief enemies. .aF.

A Body Whose Spirit pants to be dfE-

The New York Ne,5s has the following
serio-oomic reference to the Chicago Cen
vention, not, yet permently adjourned;
1--WE suggest to the Executive Commit
tee Of the National Democratic Conven-
tiOn the propriety of calling that body to-
gether, and giving it the opportunity to
adjourn Sine die. The Convention by its
own resolution, is gifted with a kind Of
quasi Immortality, dependent upon the
vClition of its Executive Committee. The
gentlemen of the Convention are natural
ly uneasy under the this doom of eternal
organization. After demolishing their
platform, it is the refinement of cruelty to
compel them to dwell forever amid its ru-
iDs. We hope that Mr.. Belmont will dis
embOdy this troubled spirit and bid It
God speed scrOss the political Styx"

Tho DIsOrSanizstiO6 Going on in Reb-
eIdOm.

The attentive reader of the numerous
extracts we have published, from time TO
time, from Southern newspapers, must have
observed the disorganization that is now
going on in the rebel ranks The leaders
pray for 'harmony and matuality," but
still it is evident they are getting much
disorganized over many questions. AL
ready they are "by the ears" over the
question of arming the slaves over the
power Of each state to make peace for itself,
over the financial condition of Rebellion,
and over thousand other questions. The
Government of Georgia protests against
the centralizing tendencies of Davis Gov
eminent; the Alabama Legislature gets
stubborn, reconstructionists are multiply
ing, the quarrel IN the rebel congress over
Davis message, the rebel editors grow
rampant over the prospect of being draft
ed, and altogether they are getting fearful
ly mixed up.

A day or two ago we saw at the Office of
Ewart & Shaw, attorneys , in this city, a
deed which conveyed tract of " Oil Ter

John Bloodgood and james NJ. Mclean,
Of the city of New York, transferred to the
American Oil and Mining Company, of
that city, 81 for and in consideration of one
million three hundred and sixty-fve dol
lars" three-eighths undivided interest in
257 acres Of land on Horse Neck Run,
Plessants CO., West Va, being the farm OF
which Ellet Rawson died seized. One
might think this a humbug, but the deed
had on it t0enty $50 Government stamps,
or 81, 900 in stamps, and that wa no hum
bug. The deed was made in July last, be-
fore the present stamp law went into effect,
August l, 1864, under which, had this con

stamps upon it would have been 81, ,465.

One day Lspp woman went out to fish
on lake, accompanied by her son, who
was fourteen years old. When they had
caught sufficient supply, they landed on
part of the shore which was thickly
overgrown with fir and underwood Pres
emily the wOman's quick eye fell on large
heap Of boughs, reeds, moss, &c, and on
nearer inspection she found large hole
underneath the mass Of rubbish, and felt
convinced it was the entrance to bears
HI" or cave. She was q courageous and
resolute little body, and, nothing daunted
by the discovery, nor rejecting that she
was alone, hastened back to the boat to
fetch her az and rife, (for Lspp woman
generally goes armed, and is usually an eX-
pert shot) Now, her sisters in other parts
Of the civilized world would most proba-
bly, have been fri htened out of their wits,
and have beat a speedy retreat under such
circumstances. Her only axiety was lest
the bear should get off.
On returning she proceeded to cut down
q smslI FIR sapling, which she pointed at
one end, and gave it to the boy to braddlo
about in the hole to ascertain whether it
was occupied or not, while she stood with
upliited AZ little one side. No soon
er was the pole inserted than out came the
head of monstrous she besr, and down
came the sx on her skull with such force
that it remained sticking fast IN the wound,
and accompanied Bruin as she retreRted to
the farthest end of the cave. Time be-
ing up for round number two, and her op-
ponent not putting in an appearance, she
determined to try the effect of shot. No
sooner had she fred down the hole than
out bolted c cub about the size of sheep
dog,eThen her son cleyeFly managed to
catch hold of it by the hind leg. But it
was too strong for the little fellow, and, af-
ter dragging him for some distance, mana
ged to get away.
Determined, however, not to lose him,
mother and son went in pursuit, and speed
lily overlook the animal, which had taken
to the wster. A few well administered
taps with the end of the oar soon render
ed him hors dE combat.
Having secured him, the courageous
little woman went back again to the . Hi y
and gave it another stirring up. But al
was still. Next she fred a second
shot, but nothing moved. Concluding that
the bear must be dead, or else escaped
during her absence, she determined to dig

however, attended her exertions, for al
length she found the bear lying quite
dead, with the ak still sticking in her clef

as the first, with bullet wound through
his neck, also dead. No mean achieve
