Ii may interest the Fenian fraternity to know
that the British Minister this point is fully ad
vised of all their doings. and has reliable nforma
ton Of every move they make. The organize
ton is but a reproduction of the defunct Phoenix
Society, which proposed the liberation of Ireland
from thrsldom which its members couldn't very
well explain; and other visionary. impracficable
and nonsensicaI objects. The Fenians in this
country are to Great Britain what the Confeder-
ate Admiration Societies in England are to the
United States, and while denouncing the one. we
ought to frown down the other. Ireland, under
Fenian rule, would be even more unhappy than
the Confederacy under the ackno wledged iuris-
diction Of JEFF. Davis. All honor to the Catholic
priests who have had the courage and manliness
70 set their faces against the Hibernian rebellious
organization.
We copy the foregoing from the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial.
Similar attacks against the organization have
recently appeared in the Chicago Tribune, a VIC
lent abolition sheet. and other leading papers of
that school of politics. While denounclng the
Fenian Brotherhood as a '.Hiberuian rebelIious
organization" these papers forget that nearly all
the Irishmen in our armies lighting the battles Of
the Union are members Of that order. The late
members, and many others We could name who
have fallen in the defense of the government, bat.
Ting as they believed for the maintenance OF
constitutional liberty and free institutions. We
know nothing of the objects OF the Fenians ex-
cept as they are Published to the world. but we
believe they are based upon the IDEAS OF universe
