. The following song has smouldered in the
Irish bosom since the days of Lord Fitz-
gerald and the revolution of 1913. Again its
resonance is heard in 1866, and though not
heartily approving the present indiscretion,
there are strains in this quaint melody that
make us half Fenian tits offered as a

do not yet know; for they have met with an OBJ
stacle in the interference Of our own government
moro formidable perhaps than anything they
calculated upon in Canada Some Of these
squads Of men took their arms with them. A
large portion Of the arms, however, have been
seized at various points on the different rail-
roads and other places by the officials OF the
United States; so that the men will not DO Of
much account to General Sweepy unless he has
depots OF arms stored somewhere in Canada,
which, as he Is an old soldier he probably took
the precaution to attend to. The difficulties Of
crossing the extended frontier from Vermont
might not be very great, hut the loss Of arms,
stores and munitions, which, according to last
accounts were being gobbled by the United
States regulars Of General Barry and General
Hooker in all directions, would seriously
knowledge Of General Sweeny's plans, about
which he is naturally very reticent we Judge
the military situation Of the Fenians just now
to be rather perplexing. With an armed force
of British troops-h0rse, foot and artillery-in
the front and neutrality in the rear, the Fenians
are between two fires but that does not seem
to damp the enthusiasm Of the Irish all over
the country, as appears from the constant ac-
cession to the ranks Of the Brotherhood and
the rapidity with which men are advancing to
"the 'front.'" Most Of these men, too, are vete-
ran soldiers, who, like Sweeny and ONeill,
fought in the Union army for four years and
are therefore familiar with gunpowder.
II cannot be denied that, while serious diff
culties stand in the way of the accomplishment
of the purpose which the Fenian leaders aim
at, namely, the possession of base Of opera
tions upon English soil in America for cam
paign upon land and sea against British powerin
Ireland, they are up to this time following up
their programme as far as we have news to
guide us, with remarkable persistency. The
military situation, however, has more of pro-
mise in the future than in the present. as affairs
stand just now.

Thrust strike our readers from the dispatches
which we publish every day from every quarter
Of the country that there is great similarity
between the excitement at present existing
among the Irish portion of the population and
that which stirred up the whole general com
munity in 1861, when the war first broke out.
We hear Of Fenians starting OF in bodies vary
ing in number from forty or fifty 10 five
hundred, from all points. They all seem to be
turning in one direction, principally towards
the North and West What their precise desti-
nation is we do not know, but II would appear
to be the vicinity Of Ogdensburg, where il Ia
said there is large wilderness in which they
can conceal themselves from the jealous vigil
lance of United States officials until they are
ready 10 concentrate upon some objective
point. II Is impossible TO tell the force which
has arrived at or Is now IN transit, TO the Cana
dian frontier; but we may judge from the re-
ports thai II numbers several thousand. For
instance, we learn that three thousand have gone
from Cin,innati; from Boston between two and
three thousand men have already gone, includ-
ing one thousand four hundred cavalry, and
six bundled more left yesterday. These troops
are commanded by officers who served in the
United States army during the late war. Two
thousand are reported to have gone from
Chicago and Ave hundred from Milwaukee.
These troops went eastward by way Of Cleve-
land, Obj. From Norwich, Worcester and
Waterbury, Conn.,, several companies have
also stared for the frontier Several have gone
from Memphis and other points in the South.
The precise number furnished 80 far from this
city Is NIT definitely known, but there 10 no
doubt th& for the past few weeks II has been
very lare, while IL is apparent that since the
news received on Friday last Of Colonel O'Nell
having dtiven back the British forces at the
poiat Of he bsyonet at Ridgeway and making
good his ,etrsat into the arms Of the United
States authorities on the approach Of superior
