The officers of the Fenian circle of
Springfield, IllinOis, have addressed an
eloquent appeal to the American people
for funds 10 aid in the attempt to make
Ireland independent, which they repre-
sent will soon commence. The appeal
closes as follows
'Ireland Is about to have her revolu-
ton. The Inspirations of her barbs and
MINISTRIES are ON the eve of being reduced
to stern realities. She will soon find
herself arrayed against her remorseless
enemy, Her aim, her object, her i'm
perishable sh-freedom-such as Tell
preached from the Alpine heights; such
as Kosciusko impassionately inculeated
such as Wallace fought for and bled
such as Washington achieved. Our
brothers at home are organized in 4
manner far superior to any oppressed
people we have read Of The day ofpro-
visional government is established-an
army of 200, 900 men is sworn to sustain
it. Officers American and Irish, who
have served with distinction in your
service, are silently moving into Ireland
tionS to be inaugurated in few months
sooner, much sooner than any of you
can believe. All they require now is
arms to enable them to meet the enemy
on something like equality. A large
sum Of money is required, and without
hesitation we appeal to you for that as
siStanCe never heretofore withheld from
an uprising people. You need have no
fears Of war between our common enc
my and yourselves. Believe us, we will
give her all the work she can attend to
at home and in Ireland without cross
ing the Atlantic to find it"
SoUTH CARoLNA.-The New York
Post has a letter from the interior of
Louth Carolina, which says
"The slave power dies hard. Some
late officers say it is not dead They say
within short time they will prove it in
Washington. The late slaves refuse to
obey the lash and they are shot and
stabbed in consequence. One negro
lately declared that he was sick, and re-
fused to work he was stabbed eight
times in one arm by his master. The
master was fined sixty dollars. A black
woman was beaten on the head with a
chair till nearly dead for q tritling Of
fence But the list is too long to re-
cord here. The old respect for educated
or wealthy whites is being beaten out Of
the heads of the blacks. There has
been much refinement and education in
this district, but bitterness of temper is
fast taking their place. To-day it is
not safe for lady to praise the Union
publicly. Privately it can be heard
The black troops have not pacifed the
community, and they are almost with
drawn. Surgeons and others lately in
the rebel army are begging situations in
our army, In some cases they are sue
CeSsful.
ARTEMUs WARD.-Artemus Ward in
announcing his farewell nights at New
York, is highly appreciative of the fol-
lowing among other expressions of ap-
probation he has received from gifted
editorial pens:
