LARGE FENIAN MEETING. New

LARGE E'ENIAN AEETING.-The New
York Herald, of Monday, says:
a vast concourse of nearly so, 900
people assembled yesterday in Jones
Wood, for the purpose of listening to
an address by James Stephens, G. o.
[. r., OF the prospects of the ap-
preaching culmination of Fenian
affairs. The speaker was greeted
with the widest enthusiasm, and ex-
perienced great difficulty in making
himself heard to even the small
circle of the assemblage who hap
pened to be within the scope of his
voice, on account of their eagerness
to crowd toward the stand. 1t was
understood to be his last speech pre-
vlous to departing for Ireland, where
he said he will strike blow for Ire
land before the dawning of the new
year. He remarked that much had
been already done in Ireland; an
army of $4,000 men had been organ
lied, the arlstocratic tendency of her
people republicanized, and the ma
ton taught to reject the political die
tation of her Catholic clergy. This
latter he urged upon the crowd as
sembled, while advising them to re-
spect their spiritual advisers in all
that appertains to their special call
ing. Efforts in the cause Of Ireland
had failed heretofore, he said, be-
cause of want of sympathy and aid
in America. A disturbance occurred
at the close of the meeting by the
supposed discovery of British spy,
who was badly cut and beaten before
he was rescued by policemen and
proved to be innocent of the charge.
There was rumor in Washington
yesterday that the President had in
terfered in behalf of the condemned
Fenian prisoners in Canada. The
report doubtless originated in the
fact that Secretary Seward had made
demand for copy of the evidence
on which the parties we're condemned,
and letter which he has written to
the British Minister on the subject.

A letter from Fort Union, Monta-
ma, dated October /. says party of
miners, descending the river in n
Maclzinaw boat, encamped for the
night at the mouth of Milk River,
and were attacked by n band of about
fifty Sioux Indians. After five hours
hard and bloody fighting, the Indians
were driven off, with loss Of twenty
one killed. The whites had four
killed and several wounded. Ono
white man named Kent shot ten In
dians, and killed three others with his
knife
The next Indiana Legislature will

The TRIBUNE ON SHERMAN.-The
Tribune is evidently getting alarmed
at the prospect, and manifests dis
position to vent spleen and scatter
saliva on the men who did the fight
ing on the Union side in the late
war. In late issue, it says through
its Washington correspondent:
am informed that Gen. Sherman
has made n second surrender to the
rebels, more disastrous to his fame
than his celebrated surrender to Joe
Johnston. We all know that the
General is conservative, but despite
Grants order not to interfere with
politics, he makes his conservatism
political. He has written to the Pre-
sident, endorsing the policy, unequiv-
ocally sustaining the Presidents
course since Lees surrender. and
making no allusion to the amendment.
This letter is held in reserve, and
will be printed just before the New
York election, in the hope of carrying
over some half-and- half Republicans.

LETTER THAN COSMETICS. Many attempts
have been made at manufacturing Soap
which should possess such healing and
medicinal qualities as would utterly do
away with cosmetics or washes, which at
best afford but temporary relief. Colgates
Aromatic Vegetable Soap is made of the
oils of such medicinal plants as to mako it
especially mild and healing in its proper
ties, and hence particularly applicable to
the use OF ladies and children.

A FIELD FOR MISSIONARIES. s.-The
Brooklyn clergymen have recently
held council, for the purpose of con-
sidering the best means of bringing
the Word Of God to the knowledge
OF the masses of the people of that
city. 1t was mentioned by one of
the speakers that, out of the 800, 900
inhabitants who composed the popu-
lation OF Brooklyn, not more than
100, 600 were brought within the in
duence of the Gospel, in the whole
l79 churches of that city, on each
Sunday. DR.. Beecher, who recently
wrote SO pathetically of the dim Cos
pei lights that glimmer along a hori-
zon of moral darkness at the South.
Is earnestly invited to join in the
movement for bringing his neighbors
under the lrippings of some of the
various sanctuaries that glimmer
along the heights of Brooklyn.

COLUMBIA.
Friday Morning, November Q, 1855.
Skilled Labor and Capital.

Skilled Labor ana Capital.
There is, in Connecticut, society
called the Social Science Association,
which recently held meeting in New
Haven, Mt which some interesting de-
velopments with regard to the pro
portionate advance in labor prices
and its products were made. 1t seems
that Mr.. David A. Wells has been
making extensive examinations into
the industries Of the country, and,
Mt this meeting, gave some of the
results of his Investigations The
most important conclusion he arrived
at was, that the industry Of the coun-
try is in au unnatural and unhealthy
condition, owing to the great en-
hancement in the price of all kinds of
labor, and to the great scarcity of
skilled workmen. He declared that,
since 1860, the increase in the price
OF labor had been from IS to 125 per
cent.
Another speaker, who took part in
the discussion, alleges that the ave-
rage increase had not been more than
SO per cent. But Mr. Well, is pro-
bably right, as an average advance Of
even 100 per cent. in labor would not
more than correspond with the gene
raj rise of prices. Indeed, the con-
dition of labor throughout the coun-
try shows that the necessaries of life
have risen in greater proportion
than anything else-as all who work
for wages or salaries have keen expe-
rience to teach them. This fact NAV
account for the deficiency of skilled
labor noticed by Mr. Wells; for had
that kind Of labor advanced in n
greater ratio than prices generally,
the natural laws of supply and de-
mand would have furnished the re-
medy.
The truth is, that such investiga
tlons are useless, unless they are
made with a view of demonstrating
the necessity of returning to the true
method OF treating economical pro-
blems. In this case, the object ap-
pears to have been to prove that ad-
dltional protection" to domestic
manufactures is necessary, in order
to remedy the evil under which capi
tai at present labors, when it has
been ia very system of so-called
"protection" that has aggravated, if
not produced, all the trouble. No
thing is more surely established than
that restrictive and interfering 7agis-
latlon, falsely called protection, has
ali cnervatipg nn6 1oletc~ic-e effect
on industry. AS long as that system
is adhered to, labor will be scarce and
high, and skilled labor will be sadly
deficient. SO long as the Eastern
lords of the loom and spindle can,
under such system, declare q divi-
dend of 100 to 125 per cent, so long
will they cling TO it, and yet expect
to procure skilled labor at the old
mere living prices. Avarice rules the
hour, and well-flled purses is dearer
object than securing labor at fair
compensation.

verdict for the plaintiffs in the full
amount, with interest.
