Our dispatches tell US just enough to
cause us to desire to know more. They
say that important Fenian movements are
on foot, aud this time with every avenue
to disaster closed. We can only surmise
what these movements may be, and as sur
misses are not always wise, we leave our
readers to make the guess for themselves.
Of one thing we are contid mt. Feniau-
ism is far from being weakened by pa,t
failures, il such they can be called. and
Is to day stronger than ever. Mysterious
movements by the leaders indicate that
the coming enterprise is to be guarded
more carefully than the past, and the very
fact that the public does not know what
it IS to be is partial pledge of its success.
Those burning for an opportunity to strike
for Irish liberty should, therefore, possess
themselves in patience. The predictions
that Ireland shall witness the sun-burs.
within the year may easily be prophecy
of fact. Those who speed the hour will
be peers among all the heroes who have
ever lived.-Dujurne HtraA.
