Unusual movements and ACTIVITY have
been observed in the rebel lilies around

eating designs of some new enterprise ON

that alarmed by the progress of Sherman
and the other national forces, he has con.
cludsd that the time he has for Rivine mn
both Richmond and Petersburg, and falling

said to have been under orders on Thurs.
day OF this week, to be. prepared to march
az q moment's notice, aud considerable
played yesterday. - - y -'''s4'''s' '''''.s
There are also rumors that Lee, frnedit
an attack on Grant. All these matters
taken in connection with the fact that the
rebel journals have received orders from
the authorities to be particularly reticent
regarding military affairs, gives color to the
belief that something more than ordinary
is in process Ofexecution within their lines,
The influx of rebel deserters however.
remains uninterrupted H!a' ~

r lat. The undersigned, in order to cor.
rect present or future misapprehension OF
his views on Feniauism,, takes rlthis ,occs
sion to refer to what he has said on this
subjeotiu public addresses in the Csthe.
Fdral and in the St. Xavier Church, in this
city, within the last twelve months. x
2nd. He also desires to remind all whom
it may concern, that he long since publish
ed in the Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph the
constitution, by.laws, and oath of said so1
ciety; attested and circulated by the late
Rev. 3. 0'Flaherty, proving said society to
have been, at,the time of the circulation of
these docpments, an oath-bound, secret
society, and as such TO be Stunned, and
avoided by every sinGereand loyal Catho-
lie. 4-.5oy ssU.t fgsg..z gs7g 14a,5t
Sd. Itis claimed that the oath is no Ions
ger enforced, and that, the Fenisu Broth
ierhood is therefore no longer liable to con-
demnalion or distrust, as an oath-bound
society. But this regard as' simply an
evasion, for in the proceedings of the First
National Convention of the Fenian Broth
erhoodi held in Chicago, Illinois, in 1863,
and Published the same year by! James
Gibbons, Philadelphia, I9read what re.
gard ss,equivalent to the strongest kind of
oath, the following pledge of membership:
81. -----, solemnlY pledge my sacred
word of honor, as aItruthful and honest
man, that !. will implicitly obey the com.
mapds of my superior officers in the Fe-
nian Brotherhood" r.T,r-r, s-sss --
4th. Furthermore. in the XVIII, resolu
ton adoptedi in said convention, I,read, of
the monstrons arbitrary power conferred
on the Head Center, to confirm, or ,anuul
the election of all State Cepters, and Cen
ters of Cifcles, and that through, this des.
potic monarchtcslg chief 'tslone shall the
Brotherh God receive any communication
from anylpsrties Whatsoever" tf g.,
9th. II this. does not constitute asu+
preme, Irresponsible, tribunal, and bind
the members, hand and foot to its hehests,
I know not whore such tribunal and such
enslaYement, can be found on. earth. ,.S
Finally, love Ireland, I. desire its in-
dependence, 7 dePlote its sad fate for the
last three hundred years, especially under
the Calling yoke of Epgland's Injustice,
ihhumSnity and tyranny; bat I have no
faith that the Fenian Head Centers, or
State CepteFs could govern her if they had
the chance On the contrary, / believe
they would give her q worse, constitution
and make her condition worse than IL is
at present. And therefore coninre eyery
man who has any respect for my judgment
and advice to have nothing to, do with the
Fenians. s,a,I,s..1.. ~. p. PUROELL, "A
