FESIANIsAI IN IRELAND.-The rapid
developments fthe Fenian organization.
in spite of the avowed opposition of the
Catholic Church, and the hostility of
the entire Irish press, is one of the most
singular features of the latest news re-
ceived from Europe. Evidence of the
extended qualifications of the brother
hood in ireland, was cropping in every
direction. Nocturnal drilling in the
mountains and the marching of whole
companies in the dusk of the evening
have ceased toeXcite surprise. At Sligo.
IN the west of Ireland, Il Fenian meIu1
Der OF the militia had been arrested.
ana from other sources we learn thai
tehlanlsm prevails to large extent
among that organization. In the South.
the CORK Constitution admits that the
remains are daily increasing and gath
ering strength and numbers. Stray
travellers have at various times come
across two or three hundred men drill
ing together, nndSS,were warned to pur-
sue their way and keep dark as to What
they had seen. The Cork Examiner. a
Catholic paper, edited by Mr.. Mcclure,
NJ. P, does not attempt TO denv the sig
niticance of the movement now pro
crossing, but urges that no support can
be expected from either America or
France, and that consequently the eff
forts of the FenianS can only result in
overwhelming disaster to themselves
and to Ireland. In England serious APP
prehensions have been excited. Tie
London Morning Post, regarded as q
ministerial organ, strongly calls for
Government interposition before the
movement has gone too far.

Washington special says: The prisoner
WirZ is suffering from n severe degree
of nervous prostration. He has been
growing more and more nervous as the
trial has proceeded, and at every recital
of some additional act of revolving cru
city, he suffers increased agony of mind.
He has moro feeling than appears by
his eXpressionless cOuntenRnce; he now
rests his hope for escaping extreme
punishment OH the ground that others
higher in authority are being positive
ly inculpated by testimony as it is de-
VelOped.
Certain papers whose course in re-
gard TO finances has always been ini-
mical to the government, are Selling on
the fact of n further issue of compound
interest notes TO assert that the volume
of the currency is being largely increns-
ed. This is untrue, all the compound
interest notes now being put out are eX-
changed for those of older date, bearing
interest, which accumulation of inter-
est is saved the government by the can
collation. of old notes, as they are used
in exchange for tho five per cent notes,
or for the redemption of certificates OF
Indebtedness. The volume of the eur
rency has only been increased to small
degree during the past summer, which
shows as II remarkable fact, in view OF
the enormous acquisitions from the
War Department. In closing up the
accounts of the army no other country
did anything like it, and the Secretary
ofthe Treasury no only considers the
present condition of the finances favor
able, but believes it in his power to
meet all the acquisitions previous to
the meeting of Congress without any
expansion Ofthe currency.

WAsHIEaToS, Sept. l4.-Notwith-
standing the President and Cabinet
have been repeatedly invited to visit
Richmond and other parts of the South,
by the local authorities, the pressure OF
public business precludes their leaving
the Capitol.
The restriction upon applications for
pardon from Alnbamians have been re-
moved, and the State is now again on
n footing with other States.
Charles Bancroft has been authorized
by the Freedman's Bureau, to issue

eminent bounty is paid to the Com

consequence of the recent washing
away Of the bridge on that section OF

Contemplated Withdrawal of Troops
from the south,

NEW York, Sept. l4.-By n special to
the Herald, dated Washington 18th, it
is understood here that It's contemplate
ed by the President to entirely withdraw
the troops from the South in n short
time, leaving the States lately in rebel
lion, to reOrganize on basis of civil
government, precisely as they stood
before the late war, with the exception
of slavery. This policy is said to have
risen through the good sense of the
leading Southern men themselves, in
accepting the present position OF affairs
as disclosed in the interview between
President johnson and considerable
deputation of their leading men mt the
White House, the other day. Thus the
late Slave States will not have n soldier
left among them, save such as NAV be
required to garrison the several forts
and these, as in the Northern States,
will be retained in active service only
for the purpose of meeting any emer-
gency that may arise from the action
of foreign powers.

tTEw ''YoRk Sept. ID. .Anaccident oc-
CURED on the CiIinden and AtIiboy rail-
road at Princeton, mt two o'clock this
morning, between the train known as
the Adams Express Washington Fast
Freight, coming from Washington, and
the train coming from Kensington ut
midnight. The former was n slow truin
and although on the new double track,
had to run of on IA turn out at Prince
ton to allow the express to pass. When
nearing the latter the conductor of the
former sent man back with red flag,
but owing to dense fogwhich was pre-
YailinG, the engineer of the express
train was unable to see the light in
season to prevent the two trains com
ing together. The Adams Express
train not having previously succeeded
in getting on the turn out, the concus-
sion forced the rear platform of the
mail car and Express train into the
front platform of the next car which
contained twenty passengers, breaking
1t up very badly, and yet, wonderful to
relate, only one person was killed, u
soldier named Frederick Clinch, of the
l5Sth New York Volunteers. No one
else was injured even to the slightest
extent. The engineer of the Express
train was slightly injured, and one chr
of the Adams Express train was also
somewhat damaged.

saint Yallandigham has been wait
ing and watching over the border ever
since General Schenck's election to
Congress from the Dayton district, and
at last his eyes have seen the glory of
the coming of the Lord and he has dis
covered a Congressional districtin Ohio
which is hopelessly Democratic. It is
compozedo of Allen, Auglaize, Hancock,
Hardin, Mercer, Van Vert and Wy
andot counties, every one of which gave
n Democratic majority last year and
elected n copperhead Congressman
named LIE Blond, by over two thousand
majority. The Saint had chosen wapa-
koneta, Auglaize county, as his local
habitation, and may soon be expected
to turn up in Congress. May the Lord
have mercy on the Union men of tho
Fifth Congressional District.
