JOyeu UclOIe tHe eAplIdtIOH vi CIc treaty,
and threaten that they will bring on a
war TO enforce the claim. The country
generally cares very little about them,
however, and the United States Govern
ment will never consent to go to war on
this ground. The Yankees procured the
abrogation of the treaty, and they should
take the consequences. Those other
pests, the Fenians, also still threaten
trouble on the Canadian border. The
wind is all out of the Bermuda invasion
story, but large numbers of Fenians,
headed by B. Doran Killian, are cluster
ing on the shores of Maine, looking with
anxious eyes upon Campo Bello Island.
In the little Maine villages on the bor-
dcrs Of Passamaquoidy Bay they CON
duet themselves as they do everywhere
else. They meet in continual session,
denounce England, threaten war, and, in
every way but the overt act, seize the
little island in the ofiing. British gum
boats and soldiers are on the alert, how
ever, and KilIian and Co. if they attempt
an invasion will meet with a warm re-
ception. United States troops and gun
boats are also on duty at the Fenian
camp, and exert a wholesome influence.
The Fenians will scarcely attempt eve
the capture Of Campo Bello Island, In
the present aspect of affairs, and the
rank and file, becoming gradually con-
WINGED Of this, are again c%Iamouring and
refusing to contribute. The United
States Government, to make the matter
sure, have ordered the officers on the
coast of Maine to prevent any Fenian
movement across the border, if it is at
tempted, and, if hostilities ever begin,
will assist in the suppression of those
revolutionary movements.
This evening the Great Southern Re-
lief Far IN Baltimore will close. 1t has
been in operation nearly two weeks, and
has already gathered over 100000 for
the relief of the destitute in the Southern
States. The most generous contrlbu-
tons have been made to it from England
as we'll as the United States. Among
the donations was q basket of exquisite
natural flowers, presented by Mrs. Presi-
dent Johnson, and cut with her own
hands from her conservatory at the
White House, Washington. Ex-Presi-
dent Buchanan also sent a contribution of
5000. The fair has been a great success,
aud reflects much credit upon the ladies
of Baltimore, who had it in charge. The
relief it will afford comes most oppor-
timely. [ have already seen a letter from
Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, beseech-
ing moneyed men to loan him whatever
sums they could spare, and pledging the
security of the State and 7 per cent. in
terest-the loan TO be devoted to buying
food for the starving people of Georgia.
He says unless relief is soon afforded ma
ny will die. Such restitution is general
throughout many parts of the South.
The United States Senate has refused
to confirm the appointment of the Hon.
Lewis d. Campbell as Minister of the
Juarist Government in Mexico, and this
will end the attempts of our Government
to send a Minister to the defunct Repub-
lie.
Preparations are being made in New
York to give Mr.. George Peabody a fit

out OF the way. This was done outside
the house, as all the murders were, for
there is no blood in the house. He then
decoyed the mother to the barn, and she
naturally carried the babe with her, and
he made away with both of them. To
decoy the three other children to the
barn and kill them was an easy task.
This was done during the absence of
Deerlng and his niece in the city. For a
desperate man to make away with the
drover when he reached home and went
to put his horse in the stable was also
easy. behring's horse, when the murder
was discovered, was tied to the manger
and the niece, missing all the others ma
turaIIy went to the barn where her uncle
had last gone, and she was killed too.
The murderer then went to the house,
ransacked il, changed his clothes Qor his
bloody garments were found in an upper
chamber), and escaped. The worst Of
all was that the murderer was very little
known. He had been on the farm but
two months, and even his name was a
matter of mystery. He was called by
some Anthony and by others Tom, and
no n knew his surname. One poor lit
tie, broken-hearted, half-crazed boy of
but ten years Of age was all that was left
of the family, and from his description of
the German, some little KNOWLEDGE of the
man was obtainpd. Rut two Or three

The planters Of Georgia propose holding
Convention at Macon, on the 9th Of Sep
tember. Speaking Of The questions to be
considered, the Macon Telegraph says:
The most important questions, at the pre-
sent time, are, the best form of contracts for
labor, and the most effective system Of plan
tation government Whatever may be the
ultimate destiny Of tie negro, he is our pre-
sent dependence for labor in the field, and
the grand concern is 10 render that service
as productive as possible. Upon this every
thing depends Of our future prosperity, at
least for generation 10 come, and 10 sub
iect has greater claims on the attention Of
the Southern people Whether experience
demands a change Of labor, and if it does,
what steps shall be taken for the gradual in
aaguratiOn Of the industriel revolution2 Is
another question for inqairy and comparison
Of Viewz To what particular crops the en-
ergies Of the Southern planter should be di-
rected under existing circumstances, Is an
Other-whether il would not be wise and a
measure Of selfprotection, whilst cotton IS 50
burthened at every turn with load Of tax
alton, to abandon il altogether except for
home consumption. There is much of in
terest to be said on both sides Of this ques-
ton, and we would be pleased to see the ar
gument presented to the public by 50 re-
spectacle body as the Cotton Planters
