Fort Fisher, the rebels commenced evac-
uating Wilmington, and. moving cotton
to the interior, but that ten days sothere
was still from 10000 to $4,000 bales left

Forty. Eight Join the IRISH Republic at Tho
First Mesting,-Irish Bond, - &C., dc.
Capt L)nergan addressed an aud ence, mostly
Irish, at the town hail. last evening, on the sub
ject Of English tyranny in Ireland, and doings
Of the Fenian Brotherhood, their object, pur-
poses and prospects. He gave brief ac-
count of the fall ef Ireland, many centuries
ago, stating numerous historical facts, en-
bellished with foe specimens Of Irish poetry,
and spiced with his own original witicisms,
all which had telling effect upon his inter-
ested hearers. Enghshmen. he said, are
placed at the heads Of the several departments
IN the government of Ireland, and at the
time when famine was filling her graveyards,
England was exporting the produce that
would have amply supplied them, to other
countries, and the Irish we're left to starve,-
not because the earth did DOT produce her
usual crops, but because Of English la'o.
TIER own hard earned bread was taken ftom
them, and they had been obliged to emigrate
to other lands. But be said they had HE
tory older than the gospel, and they had new
er given upsthe idea Of freedom for Ireland.
Now their time had come. The blow was
soon TO be struck. An army sufficen. to
sweep every vestage of English rule was al
ready organized. Already, the patriotic la
dies Of Ireland were preparing bandages aud
lint, to dress the wounds of irish soldiers,
manned in their prospective battles. He
vas not at liberty to tell them half that had
been done, but he said that there was no
doubt, now, of the success OF their scheme.
They might strike tomorrow, or not until
next week, but as sure as to-morrow's sun
shall rise they ieM strike sooner or later, for
they (the Fenians) had pledged their lives
and sacred honor to do it, He said that Fem
i,ns might be found all over the globe, aud
they are to Contribute money to supply the
army already in Ireland. Each Fenlan will
pay at least ten cents every week besides his
one dollar admission fee, and many OF them
take Bonds on the Irish K public with which
the speaker was plentifully supplied in de-
nominations of from $40 to $4,000 He had
been delegate to the great Fenian congress
at Philadelphia Of 600 members. and had re-
turned with bright hope and faith in their
success "a firm as the hills. Heretofore they
bad wanted leaders, but now they had leaders
whose military skill had been tested in many
hard fought battles, and they had engaged in
this work with determination TO do or die
10 the cause of Irish liberty. Would the
Irish Of Waterbury have part in this work,
if they would they could join the Fenian
Brotherhood that evening.
He then read the Fenian obligation, and
forty-eight Irishmen stepped forward, paid
their one dollar each, and took the oath
which made them citizens Of the pew nation,
or rather old Ireland revived. Three cheers
we're then given for the Irish Republic, after
which the society was organized by choosing
officers, and they then adjourned for one
week. GEO w. KENNEDY.

We cut from the daily dose Of Washington
gossip this, dated Nov. l6:
1.-The President is more than usually an
noyed by importunate reconstruct uonists.-
Yesterday he remarked that be had tried TO
oyerwhelm the South with pardons and kind
ness, but from recent events he began to think
them incapable ofappreciating magnanimity."
This may or may not BE- true. It must be
true, however, that the President is cons cious
that the experiment OF reconstruction is 10
one sense great failure, and that he regrets
it. We do not think he ia much dssppoint-
ed, for, in another sense, the experiment is
not a failure. II has tested the real animus
of the ruling class at the South, and proved
that they are only whipped-not reconciled.
The experiment was worth making, II it were
only to demonstrate that all important fact.

In speaking Of the Trustees Of the Vermont
Reform School, appointed by Governor Dill
liugham, by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate, we bslieve, the Burlington
Times says
The first appointment on the list is cap
ital one. The others might have been i'm
proved
This is certainly a left-handed compliment
to the Governor and Senate and two of the
Trustees. 1t is not graceful. BY statute.
the frat commissioner has the management
and control Of the school; and we agree with
the Times 10 saying that the selection OF Mr..
Pease was capital" He is eminent for his
qualities as teacher and disciplinarian. BY
the statute the other commissioners are ad-
visory in purchases, expenditures and general
management. The case required men Of good
heart and head and practical business quail
ties. We think these requirements were very
well met in the selection of Messrs. Dunn
and Pratt.

LOVE AND MURDER.-Some three or four
years ago, a man, BY the name of Hubbard,
becoming alarmed at the prospect Of war,
sought refuge at the house Of one Benz
Cole, just across the line in Stanstead. Not
the least among the attractions Of the house
of Cole, was fair maiden of sixteen summers.
After awhile affection between Hubbard and
damsel became mutual and gradually increas-
ed until there were strong indications Of a
union of hearts, as well as a reunion Of States.
These prospect Is proved rather displeasing to
father Re amin, who resolved within himself
to settle the question by applying al axe to
the Uranium OF the bold skedaddler, who had
dared to make love to his daughter. Accord
ingly, on Monday OF last week, he proceeded
TO chop the said Hubbard in order TO break
up the match. After dea ing several severe
blows on the back Of Hubbard's head, he be-
came terrified at the amount Of mischief he
was doing, and, in fit Of crazness at
tempted to drown himself In the lake. A
cold bath aud the entresties of woman soon
oyercame his courage, and he took to his
bed, where, with proper care, he will fnd
himself endowed with reason in due time.
AT last accounts, the young man was still IN
a cii ical situation. .--Ne,0port Erpress.

SALE OF U. S. Ho.PITAL PRoPERTY.--
The Rs,ord complains that the sale at Brat
tlebo' hospital was made mainly to persons
from abroad at very low rates. At Sloan
Hospital much was sold to persons from
abroad but the sales were very good for gov
ernment; indeed some say it was the best
sale yet made. For example, one purchaser
Of blankets here at S5 80 said he purchased
lot Of the same sort at Washington city for
so cents. We can understand why secretary
Stanton has stopped sales there.

THE Ex ECurIoN OF wIRz.

WAsHINGroN Nov. 10.
This morning Father Boyle administered
the sacrament to Capt. Wirz, and Father Wig.
gett then placed upon the prisoner the black
ambfick robe aid rsmirk ID " hop, this
will be turned into white one in the other
world"
At twenty minutes past ten Capt. Wirz
came from his cell in the Old Capitol Prison,
accompanied by provost Marshal Russell and
other officers, and by Fathers Boyle and Wig
gett, and passing between the military guard
they ascended the scafold. The prisoner was
then seated. The guard consisted Of the
l95th Pennsylvania Volunteers and three de-
tachments of the Veteran reserve Corps, un-
der Capt. Wa!bridge, the Military Superinten-
dent of the Old Capital prison. There were
several hundred spectators besides the militia
~. Amid profound silence, Provost Marshal
Russell proceeded to read the order of the
War Department, founded on the verdict Of
the Court Martial which tried the prisoner
The following is the Presidents order:
FxEcUTIvE MANSION, Nov. 8, 1865.
The proceedings, findings and sentence q
the court in the Wirz case are approved, and
1t is ordered that the sentence be carried in
to execution, by the officer commanding the
Department Of Washington, on Friday, the
l0!h day Of Nov, 1865, between the hours
Of in the morning and IL noon.
(Sigued,) ANDREW JOHNSON.
President of the United States.
After the reading of the order was complet-
ed, Wirz conversed with those on the plat
form with seeming calmness and self-posses-
siJn, and it was remarked that he had smil-
ing countensnce, To his spiritual advisers
he said : am innocent. have to die, but
can die like a man. have hope in the fu-
ture. | have nothing more TO say" His
legs and hands were tied. the moose passed
around the neck and the black cap placed
over his face. he stood erect. without fall
tering, evidently having nerved himself for
the solemn event. Those on the platform re-
tired to the railing, lesving the doomed man
in the centre OF the structure. After 4 few
moments Of profound quiet the drop, at pre-
concerted signal, fell. The sound thus occa-
stoned having reached the ears Of promiscous US
crowd outside the Old C'pitol grounds an |
was responded to by repeated shouts Of ap-
probation.
The convict directly after falling wss con-
siderably convulsed in bis legs, but the ago
ny was soon over. He hung about Is min
utes and was then cut down, the body laid
upon stretcher and conveyed to the prison,
where it was placed in cofii.n and transferred
to Father Boyle for interement. His neck
was broken by the fall. The proceedings oc
cupied about three quarters Of an hour.

NORTH CAROLINA ELEcrGuN. The Raj

THE PRESIDENT, MR.. SEWARD AND
JEFF. DAVIS.

The Baltimore G,zette gives somewhat
different version from that heretofore publish.
ed Of the interview had with President John
son by delegation Of ladies' from Baltimore
with petition signed by 6feen thousand
women for the pardon Of J,f Davis. The
conduct " Mr.. johnson is sad to have been
courteous in the extreme, and after listening
to what the ladies had to sag, he replied as
follows:
THAT be regretted more than he knew
how to express. that he could not grant the
petition, and that It would give him far more
pleasure to sccede to the request Of the ladies
present than it would give them to have it
granted. IT, added he, it we're simply a
question, however, between mao and man, ]
would release Mr.. Davis at once but it is a
great National question. Mighty issues might
be involved, and now Is not the ii ne to take
such step. | think continued the Pfesi-
den, have the courage, or a. you term it
ladies, pluck, TO do my duty and have proved
it. When the proper time comes for the ex.
ercise Of magnanimity, trust that shall not
be found wanting"
In reference to the trial Of Mr.. Davis, Mr..
Johnson said
Almost every arrangement las been made
for the trial Of Mr.. DAVIS, but no one can tell
what changes may be brought bout in the
course Of few weeks. A hastv aud injudi
oiOus action in this mater 1ht produce in
cacuable misery. Mr.. Davis has been a
great leader in be war against the @ ivern-
ment. aud 1t is but right he should be tried
by the laws Of the land. | sympathizs with
him in his suffsrinRs. His qlartets have
been changed and his condition amelorated' "
In conclusion, Mr.. Johnson said
All men, ladies', are under the iudlen ce
Of woman, aud | not less than other men
You are my jewels. | want your help aud
your prayers"
A New York correspondent Of the Macon
(Ga.) Telegraph, writing on the l6 h Of Oct,
gives currency to the following story:
Since have introduced Mr., Sewa d s
name will refer to convers, ton he had
a few days since with ThurIow Weed-J=f.
er,on Davis being the subject Weed said
Mr.. Davis should be hanged, and expressed
himself quite warmly On the subjec'. Mr.
Seward then propounded the query, Why
should ycu hang him I: To whicn Weed rePl-
ed ] would hang him for treason.
Mr.. Seward responded in his energetic
way: We cannot hang him without frs con-
victing him, and think no impartial jury
would do that Weed said His guilt is
already established, and his conviction should
not be difficuit;' bus Mr.. Seward maintained
that no jury could be formed to convict him,
aud added IN significant way And even II
we should hang him it would be no great
moral lesson to the world Gentlemen who
were present during the conversation infer
from i. that Mr.. DAVIS life is safe at least"
