Hon. VIM. Willis thought it would be for
the interest of the company to have the route

title as reported, and let future circumstances
decide the direction the road should take.

NATURAL CURIOSITY John P. Wood.
q native of this city, called at cur Office yester
day with what he regarded as one of the great
est curiosities ever exhibited in the State
which consisted of some half dozen Unite and
spotted rats. They are not the kind ladies
use in their hair, but veritable flesh and blood,
from China, purchased by Mr. Wood Of a ship
master. They are young, only two months
old, having been born on the passage. They
are as cunning as can be, perfect beauties,
with eyes as red as sparks of fire. Barnlrm
has offered hundred and fifty dollars for
them, but Mr.. Wood says he can't be accomo-
dated. They are really worth seeing.

There was nothing new in regard to the Fe-
mans. A few additional arrests are reported.
Another petty officer had been arrested in the
Cork garrison, but it is believed that the troops
as body are perfectly loyal. The Dublin de-
tectives were at work in England. They ar
rested two Fenians IN Manchester and one in
Sheffield All were sent TO Dublin. Fenian
organizations i'm Liverpool are reported to con-
tinue active, Notwithstanding the arrests.
4 The Dublin Evening Mall says all was quiet
throughout ireland at the last dates. A gum
boat continued to cruise off Cork, looking out
for vessel reported to have cleared from
America with arms.
The Times editorially holds up the move
ment as ridiculously absurd and utterly insig-
nifcant in proportion, but says 1t is something
to have it clearly shown that the American
government rejects all participation, which the
Irishmen fondly expected. Ta
The Army and Navy Gazette does not be-
lieve that the troops are infected with Fenian-
ism, and says they are stationed on sound mil

PUGNAoIoUs. - Considerable amusement
was created yesterday at the sight of "one
arm O'Donohue," as he is styled, of Cor
hams corner, chasing stout two listed man
down Lime street. O'Donohue was brandish-
ing a shillalah in his hand, and the pursued
man was fourishing slung shot Hehad the
advantage of his pursuer, and he turned down
Middle street, keeping UP three minute gait,
and entirely distancing O'Donahue, who stop
ped short on reaching the corner of Lime
street. For aught we know the fellow may be
running yet.
A pretty stout young fellow then came up
to O'Donohue and tried to pdrley with him.
But he was too irascible to be reasoned with,
and began to make demonstrations with his
single fist, (he had dropped his shillalah,) at
which the young fellow would back out. This
continued for short time, until at length o.
Donahue drove this opponent from the ground
as be had the other. The. cause Of the dis
pute we did not learn, but the sight afforded q
deal of amusement to the crowd that gath

: 1t is established beyond doubt that in a
conversation with distinguished Hlinoisan a
few days since, Lieut.. Gen. Grant so far recov-.
cred from his customary silence on our public
topics IS to- nnreservedly express himself on
the Mexican question: Hesdeclares that the
government win indicate the Monroe doctrine
at an early date, and Macmillan must leave
Mexico. It win be, he says, less expensive to
rid Mexico~of the presence of an enemy than
to guard our borders against him. 1t is his
opinion thateit viii require no call for troops,
but that with our present army we can spare
enough to give effectiveness against any
forces Mexico win be ready to put In the field,
If ourGovernment aids them In the matter Of
supplies Gen. Grant is Of opinion that the
Presidentiand authorities at Washington hold
this as their settled purpose, and only await
the meeting of Congress to take open ground
in the matter. 1t is not believed that France
will be able to disregard European complica-
tons, present and prospective, so as to make
the cause of Macmillan her own. This solu-
ton Of the Mexican question must be accepted
as one Of the forthcoming sensations for the
close Of the year. la ~1s'st9 AAs
