VOL. XIX---NO. 2lS

Dl0cArOck near Oundalk, too strong TO
the police to cope with, but four leader
y were picked out and afterwards arrested
t. The Limerick Chronicle says: We hAv,
Il been informed that drilling is going on il
e Crstloe woods, and the mountainous regions
o on the opposite side of the Shannon
: The movements OF the Fenians in thai
r quarter being exactly like what the Cork
7 Constitution described IS being carried on
? near there. The mountainous districts OF
Ireland afford many facilities for the drill
e OF the FeniAns. They would seem to be
wise in sele citing the mountainous regions
: for their excurSions, although those of Cork
, seem less cautious, but even these places are
described by our contemporary as of char
acter to cover the movements of the Fem
isns, without being detected except through
spies. A gentleman who has reserved 9
letter from friend in New York, which
says that the number of Irishmen coming
home is large, and adds that Fenisnism is
getting stronger every day. This is really
8 serious matter, and deserves the prompt
attention of the authorities, who cannot be
too active.

the country, especially these who have
suffered severly by the war, express appa-
rently sincere desire to conform to the
changed condition of affairs and maintain
the general government, while in the towns
which have sustained but little damage the
spirit of dissatisfaction exists, principally

but few of whom have served in the rebel
army.
