ization 10 this city, said to number about
two hundred, and The association is pros
peFiog finely. Meetings. are held weekly,
and the members are initiated into the reg
u9ar drill service. We have not had the
privilege of look into enc oftheir meet
ings, but judging from the character of those
who attend them, the proceedings must be
interesting and profitable.
The Objectsof the Ferian organization
are noble and patriotic. And time will
tell whether it shall bethe means of sc-
complaining the freedom and Independence
of the historic country that has been so
lorg under the heel of British oppres-
sion.
Certain it is that the Feniaus Of this city
are putting forth the most laudable efforts
10 behalf of the cause dear to every true
| Irshmau's heart. Their contributions to
the Irish National Fair at Chicago. have
been liberal, and they are ready to 10 more

O'Clock they came out of their hall on oliet

streets, not forgetting u pay their respects
to Mayor Porter, Col Bartlceon, end the

of Mr.. Jnhn Ryan, they went through the
various military exercises with the skill OF

blage. Indeed it was the greatest ball ever
before seen in Joliet. Strict order prevail
ed, notwithstanding the isrgeness of the
crowd, and everything was conducted by
she managers in the mostappropriate man
ner. The supper, which had been prepar
ed by the ladies, we are told, was excelen
and ample. Well may the Fenians fee
proud of this their first public doings in TIL

DEATH OF REBEL PRIsoNEKs.-OVer one
thousand of the rebel prisoners confined in
the barracks at Rock Island have died
since their arrival there. This is at the
rate. Of about one mae ont of seven in the
short space of three months-a mortality of
the most frightful character. 1t proves
almost certain death to doom any of our
soldiers to the Southern military prisons,
aud the record at Rock Island shows that
the rebel prisoners fare but little better Mp
here. All this suffering, misery and death
among prisoners South and North is the
result of LincOlu's negro soldier policy.

policy as witnessed on the bloody battle'

the columns of the Republican newspa-

that party.
For Instance, Governor Yates declared,
in a recent speech 10 Chicago, that
"He believed the opposition party fav-

them as he fought traitors, because" as

S9-In accounting for the failure of
General Fitzpatrick to take Richmond, the
mischief is attributed to the treacbery of a
negro guide, Says correspondent to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, (Rep):
"Colne' Dahlgreen had taken negro TO
pilot him to Richmond. The detachment
had rapidly moved across the countrv de-.
stroying barns, forage and eyervthi ING
which could possibly be of service 10 the
enemy. Pushing on 50 as to reach Rich
mopd as soon as possible, Col. RD.bIoreen
discovered that his negro guide had betrav.
ttayed him, and led him toward GooehIand
instead of to Richmond aad on Tuesdav
morning he found himself miles in lust the
opposite direction from that he wished to
take. The negro was promptly hung for
his baseness." ~
