ARMED EENIAN EhIoRANTs FLocRiNo FROM
AMERICA. ~
[Oork Correspondence saunders's Nsws letter.
since the termination of the American
war, every steamship which arrives oil
Cork harbor on her homeward voyage from
New York or Boston, lands on these shores
large numbers Of young men, who had
served in the Republican army, all Of
whom GARRY on their persons revolver pis-
tolls, riHed guns, dsggers, and shortswords,
which they openly expose in their peram-
bulations through the city. These arrivals
are ever ready to intrude their onversa-
ton on all whom they chance to meet,
Boosting Of the preparations making in
America by the Fenian Brotherhood for
the in vasion Of Ireland. Last week two
Of these gentry entered railway carriage
some few miles from Cork, in which were
seated two ladies and two gentlemen. No
sooner had the train started than one OF
them announced that they were officers in
the Federal army during the war, but now
they had conquered the rebels they came
over to Ireland to prepare for its invasion.
They spoke without any reserve, annouuc-
ing that ships are at present preparing to
bring over fifty Thousand well disciplined
Fenians, fully armed, who would be met
here by two hundred thousand well drilled
men, who would drive the British army
into the ssa. This brought smile on the
faces of the listeners, until one Of the fell
lows to the horror of the ladies produced
from belt round his waist aive- barreled
revolver, and the other, drawing aside the
skirt of his coat, disclosed short sword
dangling at his side. After describing the
efficiency of the weapons, they then assured
the auditors that thousands of similar
swords and revolvers we're distributed
amongst the brethren throughout Ireland,
having been sent to them by their Ameri-
can friends. Those incidents, and many
of similar character, are known Mt Dublin
Castle, and astonishment is expressed that
active measures are not adopted to check
the evil. The peacably- disposed are every
day, from circumstances that fall under
their observation, becoming more alarmed

FENIAN DRILLING NEAR MALLow.
Correspondence of the Limerick Chronlcs.1
The following cases have come under
my notice: Some time ago four hundred
men were seen one night ia field near
Malow. Shortly afterwards, an officer,
living in another part Of the country, on
returning to his regiment, mentioned to
me that there had been body of five hun
dred men drilling one night near bis house.
Three or four weeks ago body Of three
hundred men we're seen by Mrs. family
from their house, drilling in one of their
fields; this was near Emily. Sometime ago
the French newspapers warned us that
there were weapons concealed about the
southwest of Ireland. If the government
are wise they will call out the Irish militia,
fer service in England, and it will DO
great blow to the hopes of the Fenians,
who depend on militiamen, not only for
an increase of numbers, but for teaching
squad drill, and also, when exercising IN
bodies, TO lead the companies, sub dlyis-
ions, &c, and perform those duties known
to any well-drilled soldier.
SOME APPREHErsIvE FENIAHs.
Correspondence Of the Cork constitutional
A well-to-do farmer, living between
Mallow and Cork, whose truthfulness may
be relied on, told me that, on leaving his
brothers ct IL o'clock Wednesday last, on
q horse, and when field from the house
he had left, he saw two lights moving
about, one green, the other white. Be-
hind each light large body Of men
marched in line. He, being afraid to pass
them, got off his horse, and turning him
adrift, ran back to the house. He says q
number of grazing colts, feeding in the
field, hunted his horse, and that the noise
made by the galloping frightened the Fee
mans, who, believing them to be cavalry,
"skedaddledn so fast that several were in
jured in falling over the fences. Next
morning a report was circulated that the
eight horse" were over the country oil
night. The arms used appear to be the
long, wo-pronged forks generally used in
hay making.
From the Dublin Fleming Nail, Of Sept.
5th, we learn that five Fenians, arrested
on charge of illegal military training,
and using seditious language, had been
arraigned before the Court of petty ses-
sions. On hearing of the evidence, they
were denied bail, and committed for fur
Their trial before the Queens Bench.
A great many similar arrests and COM
mitnents were taking place in various
parts of Ireland.
The Fenians, by their brashness, seem to
be throwing all their atinto the fire. John
Bull is restitf old animal to take by the
horns, and get him once to pitching and
tossing about he can worry as we'll as be
worried.
