FhOA MADRlD.
New YoRz, February "A Madrid CORE
spondent of the London Times furnishes
some queer data, going TO prove a col
lusiOn between the Spanish rebel General
Prim-who is persistently reported as en-
route to Portugal for safety-and the com
manding officers of the Queens regular
army. This correspondent says that con-
lectures ventured upon by thinking men
are endless. Those who incline to believe
in a secret understanding between Prim
and 0'DOnnell imagine that the object of
the latter was and is TO frighten the Queen
and lead her to that sbdication which he
was charged with attempting to force upon
her at La Granga.
SHERMAN.
The Worlds Washington special says that
General Sherman stated to committee from
South Carolina that his military order turn
ing over lands in that State to negroes was
intended to last no longer than when peace
was declared and the rebels laid down their
arms, submitting to the laws Of the United
States.
FAVORABLE.
The Reconstruction Committee have OBJ
tanned considerable evidence in regard to
the condition of affairs in Tennessee. The
evidence of General Thomas is very favor
able. Il

NEW YORk, February IA weekly paper
states, as il by authority, that it feels war
ranted in stating to the public that the rev.
| eIations of the last ten DAYS will Justify Us
| in announcing now that the government
has decided that JEFF. Davis shall be tried
for treason and other high crimes before a
| military commission. The significant sum-
moning to Washington, therefore, Of such
distinguished Generals as Sherman, Sheri-
| dan and Meade, and the recent arrival also
| of Barton N Harris, who was the private
secretary of Davis during the rebellion, may
now be understood.
MEETING.
At recent meeting of the Northern Pa
ci6c Railroad Company, held in Boston, ii
was announced as the plan Of the Company
to enter upon the immediate construction Of
700 miles of the road connecting the waters
of Lake Superior with the navigable waters
Of the Columbia river, the work to be COM
pleted in three years.
Tie Dublin correspondent of the Hee-
d under date of January 18th says: The
whole Island is undermined by the Fenians.
No one seems to know when to expect the
explosion that appears inevitable
The prevailing feelings and opinions are
|
S nee the organization was founded were
the followers of Stephens so vigorously en-
= gagged in the work Of preparing for an az
peal TO arms as at present. 1t is certainly a
remarkable symptom that the punishneIt
inhicled on the convicted Fenians has re-
suited in rendering them ten times more
resolute than before.
Dozens of forges are aglow in the city
with the work of pike making. Fire arms
and weapons of every description are being
fitted up and prepared, Secret meeting are
being held, instructions issued to the vari-
Gus branches of the organization and the
whole machinery eff conspiracy is being put
in rapid motion by the countless numbers
of cool and determined men.
Hundreds of Fenians are pouring into
this city from all the large towns of Eng
land and Scotland. Spirit stores aud lOdg
ing houses are crowded and.the impression
is that they are arriving in obedience tc
mandates issued months ago to the Brother
hoods Of England and Scotland.
Drilling is going on extensively on the
hill sides and moor here and there through
out the county. Glimpses are caught by
night travellers of hundreds of men march
ing in military array or practieing drill ex.
ercises The disciples of Fenianism among
US are making every preparation in theil
power for an immediate appeal to the arbi
trament of the sword.
The Government is alive TO the dangers
of the situation. Detectives are on the alert
day and night, lavishing gold for informa-
ton. Their activity the past week has
been rewarded with three important dis
coveries. During September last 200 ar
rests were made and at least as many more
have been made since then by the police
In every corner Of the Island seizing and
imprisoning is still going on.
Sligo it appears, is one Of the points TO-
ward which the tide of mysterious
strangers, with which Dublin is inundated
is setting. Large numbers of able-bOdieC
men have come into Sligo within the pas
fortnight and remained without ostensibl'
business or the means of livelihood. Th'
police could not discover anything to con
firm their suspicious.
Meanwhile fresh bodies of strangers con
tinued to arrive. At length, alarmed, thu
locals decided on action. On Wednesday ;
, detachment of armed police visited the va
rious dying houses in the city and trans
. ferred twenty-one emigrants to cells. Th'
persons arrested were closely searched, bu
nothing calculated to bring them under tn
Judges attention was discovered. They ar
{ still in Jail. Double guards have been place,
upon the prison. Troops are being forward
| ed to the town and district.
The town of Gallon has been searched 70
Stephens, but nothing found. 1t is believes
he is not great ways from Dublin.
A Fenian proclamation was found on
Fenian named Flood, urging preparation TO
the coming struggle.
THE APPAcHEs.
A San Francisco letter to the Herald say
: the war against the hostile Appache Indian
is about to be inaugurated by General Nc
Dowell with great vigor. The General lei
: San Francisco to assume personal superin
tendenee of operations. Other Indian tribe
are cooperating with the national force
against the Appaches.
EMIGRATION.
: A Berlin correspondent Of the LonIio
3 Times states that eighty thousand German
5 emigrated to America last year via Han
/ burg and Bremen. Contrary to what wa
|, formerly the case, when very few Of thes
, people would lay by a few thalers to carr
: them over, considerable portion of th
r emigrants consist Of small farmers with
thousand or two Of thalers-
