Blackburn, the yellow fever couspir-
ator, it seems, set out on his mission as
a breeder of pestilence BY volunteering
his services gratuitously to tho British
Admiralty during the prevalence of the
fever at Bermuda. For his labors there,
he was highly complimented by Vice

The REBEL SPIRIT STILL LlvEs.-That
there is now no rebel army in the South,
is not because of any change in the South
ern mind, to any return Of the Southern
heart to the old memories Of the old flag,
but simply to the superior power and re-
sources Of the Federal Government
brought into successful play. The Federal
Government literally conquered a peace.
Our soldiers brought them to terms; we
captured their arms, and means, and their
flesh and blood - not their affections.
They cannot resist US as they did, but
they can and do hate us with q vengeance!
They will not take up arms again, but go
to work IN the Union, to separate from
the Union. They will now aim at peace
able separation by legislation, and in order
to make the North willing to separate,
they will become as offensive as their cul-
tiudted will enable them to be.
They will give the North oaths from their
hearts, and on the surface submission and
obedience. In a word, the peace between
the North and South is hollow and de-
ceitful-it is simply a conquered peace,
wrested from the hands of traitors, who
hate us to the death. Whether or not the
people and politicians of the country be-
lieve this is not the question ; the fact is
not indisputable, and the good men Of
both sections would do well to wake up
to this state of things. No p~retensions
of Provisional Governors or Copperhead
editors can make the facts otherwise.
Look, therefore, where we will, within or
without the enclosure of the church, this
same spirit of rebellion greets us, and
threatens US with a disturbance. Dis
loyalty reigns oil over the South.-knor-
piRe Wing. e". '..'#

Ano,ber InlI.n Outbreak.

From Major Anthony, who arrived at
Denver from the south late on Friday
evening last, says the News, we learn the
following particulars of q massacre by the
Indians near Fort Dodge, on the Arknn-
sas River, on the goth ult.:
A train Of seven wagons was coming up
the road. The men with it had been told
that there was no danger and in conse-
quence were moving along in a rather I'M
prepared condition. When about twenty
miles above Fort Dodge they camped and
two men took the only guns (two) belong
ing to the outfit and crossed the river to
hunt. During their absence a party Of
twelve Indians-supposed to be Canaan
ches = came to the camp, proclaiming
themselves friendly and saying they had
just come from the treaty where peace had
been made with the whites. The wagon
master had the thoughtfulness to exclude
them from inside the corral (of wagons)
until they had lain down their arms. This
they did, and were then allowed to enter
and mix among the men. They professed
the warmest friendship and best Of feeling.
Directly a cloud Of dust arose, up the road
a mile or two, and the Indians making it
a pretext, rushed out crying cute! Ute!"
seized their arms and ran back among the
teamsters shooting right and left. The
consequence was, all the men present, five
in number, belonging to the train, were
shot down and left for dead. Two boys
were carried off as prisoners and the wag-
ons were robbed Of everything that could
be taken away with them. When assist
ance reached the spot m of the men was
found alive and there was a slight hope
for his recovery.
The parties approaching from up the
road proved to be ten or twelve soldiers
going toward the States in q wagon.
They were armed, but the Indians fed be-
fore they came near enough to administer
any punishment. Their coming doubtless
saved the train from being burned.
At the same time the upward bound
coach wal only four miles below, without
any guard. The alarm soon reached it,
and a messenger was sent back to Fort
Dodge (l6 miles) for an escort. 1t was
delayed a day or two in consequence,
which explains the non-connection with
our last coach from the South. Lieuten-
ant Pierce (brother of Surveyor General
PIERCE and some others of the Second
Colorado boys were passengers by the
coach, and brought the news to Lyon.
The loss in this massacre is four men
killed, one probably MORALLY wounded,
and two boys carried away captive. The
remaining twp men escaped by being
away from the train. The Indians played
the "friendly" dodge until they had
learned the utter helplessness of the whites,
and then began their bloody work. II
this is the way the treaties are going to
work, the less we have of them the better,
Gen. Connor's treatment Of them is a great
deal better"

FENIANs.-We daily hear inquiries as
to the meaning and derivation of this
term, which now designates an immense
Irish organization. We give, from what
is considered good authority, the follow
ing explanation:
The term "Fenian is derived from
the Gaelic word Eann, which is infected
Femme in the posSessive case. In the Be-
ria Tene. or Anticipated Gaelic, it is writ
ten Eand. 1t was the name given to an
order or class of professional soldiers. or
militia, among the Pagan Irish. This Or
der existed from the remotest times. The
Fiann, or Fenian, was a species Of Ma
tional Guard. DR.. Heating speaks Of
them: "They were nothing more than
members of a body of soldiers maintained
by the Irish Kings for the purpose Of
guarding their territories and upholding
their authority. In ordinary times the
Fiann, or Fenian, consisted of three le-
gions. In each legion there were 5000
men. This was when the men of Ireland
were at peace. But in war, whether for
the support of the Dial Riada in Scotland
or against foreign aggression on their own
soil, there were usually seven legions in
the Fiann. There were four VOWS Ibid
upon every Fenian-lst, Never to take a
portion with q wife, but to select her for
her virtues; I'd, Never to offer violence to
q woman /; Sd, Never to give a refusal to
mortal man ; 4th, Never to flee from less
than nine warriors"
These Fenians must have been a highly
virtuous and heroic race of men.

Coon FOR BgEcHER.- Henry Ward
Beecher was married on Saturday. His
Brooklyn congregation had timely infor-
nation Of this circumstance, and knowing
he would preach the next morning at his
church, DESTROYS at the same time of see
ing the bride, they assembled in such
crowds that the church was full before
the bell was done tolling. AS was ex-
pected the bride made her appearance, and
the folks INDUCED themselves in their
usual observations until Beecher mounted
the pulpit. Then every eye was upon
him, and every ear ready to catch the
words of the text, which, to their astonish-
ment, were the following: 1--WE toiled
all night and have taken nothing! !" The
discourse turned out, as usual, very in
structive, and all went home highly de-
lighted, except poor Mrs. Beecher, who
blushed down to her finger ends every
step Of the way.-La Crosse Democrat.
