A HABEAs CORPUS CASE.

Capt ROBERT: J. MARTIN, formerly o
the Confederate army, and recently a pris
oner in Fort Lafayette, has. been released
from military custody, upon writ of ha

The charges against him we're to the effec,
that he was spy in the LGonfedarats ser

hotels in New York.in 1854. The Judge
held, that his ofente had ceased to be pun.

oners. 1t is the first case on record since
the termination of, the war, where the ha.
beas corpus has been eficacious in reliev-

is cheerful sign of returning reason and
justice. ... ...--..--
The Judge made the following points in
his ruling upon the case
tsIn regard the accusation of being spy,
he said that Captain Martin is not liable
at this time, time of peace, to suffer a
punishment which can only be allotted by
military authority in time Of ssoar. Also,
that while Captain Martin may have been
a spy, his offence ceased when he left the
scene of his operations, and regained his
own lines. Furthermore, the Judge held

FEN1AN1sM.

The lopg.felt desire Of the Irish people
to establish for themselves a free govern.
nent upon republican principles, has em.
bodied itself in an association under the
name of the "Fenian Brotherhood, claim.
ing this as its object Large numbers Of
emigrants to this country, andsothers Of
Irish extraction, have attached themselves
to the organization and the iist probably
embraces the name of thousands of men
from every State in the Union.
Many months ago, 1.-THE organization was
completed in the United States, with grand
sHead Centre'in New York, and sub.centres
in each of the Northern and Western
States and some millions of dollars were
contributed to sustain the, patriotic effort.

mess to be transferred to Old Ireland, and
set in motion at once.
Great troubles seem, however, to have
recently sprung up in the Fenian camp,
and their dreams of glory and freedom are
liEely to develop in barren realities. Start
ing out with one President, the Irish Re.
public now has three in America and one in
Franco and the three American Excellen
cies and their factions, are having a rich
quarrel, as. to "who shall be, and who
shan't" To the meantime, a Mr.. SXEENY
steps in, and says he wants to be President,
appoints his Cabinet, and issues his war or:
ders, just as if he were President sure
enough. The two or three millions of dol.
lars contributed by the ard.laboriug and
misguided sons of Erin, to be applied to
the liberation of their green hills from
British domination, seem to be the cause of
all this contention between the rival lead
ers. Whoever has the said millions in hand
is, we imagine, the lucky fellow, SO far as
any results are to be attained. He will
probably win very little glory, for the Fe-
nian war will never be wagsd, unless against
itself, nor the money eyer be expended in
the liberation of Ireland. However much
We may sympathize with her suffering chill
dren, or gladly welcome her into tie list of
free nations, we have but little respect for
any association with that object in view,
that eyinces so little dignity Of action or
earnestness of purpose. Likea parcel of
children at toys, they seem to be playing
government, for the amusement of them.
