COOP FOR GREELEY.-Speaking Of the en-
tire change which has been made in the ar
rangements for the confinement Of Jefferson
Davis, in Fortress Monroe, the New York 1ri-
baae says:
awe welcome the news from Fortress Mon
roe of the assignment of comfortable and
spacious apartments for the housekeeping OF
Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis. By-the-by. the
fact will have become too glarng. and then he
will be let 90. What Is the use of persisting
in cheat whereby nobody Is cheated? Mr.
Davis is not to be tried--at all events not with
intent or expectation of convicting him-then
why is he longer subsisted at the public cost ?
Let us have an end Of the sham!"

Appeal from President Roberts to the
Fenian Brotherhood.

LUDLOW ISTREET JAIL, New York, June H.
To the Fenian Brotherhood and Irshmen of
America-Brothers and Countrymen The Irish
people OF America are again united in the cause
of Irish independence and universal freedom.
The cheers which arose from the Irish soldiers
at Limestone Ridge, as the English foe went
fleeing before their avenging steel, has found
a responsive echo in every Irish heart and
made us one in love, purpose, and resolve. We
see, after ages of foul oppression, the unquench-
able desile of IRISH independence blaze forth
anew, and, as it sweeps along the cities and
pralres of this vast continent, 1t gathers within
its magic influence five millions OF Irish
hearts, and twice five millions of friends of
freedom and foes of despotism. Arise, then,
my countrymen, and nerve yourselves, TOR the
struggle is nobly commenced. Cast aside every
consideration that would darken the dawning
hopes OF your enslaved conntrSmen. Be true
to liberty, your country, and your God, and
your native land, instead of being laZar-house
of slavery, will soon be the garden of freedom.
Stand firm by the cause. Be not dlsmayed at
obstacles. You must surmount them, and you
will. Let cowardlce and ignorance desert and
denounce you. What of that The true men
are still legion, and the struggle must not be
abandoned, even though our soldiers should be
compelled, through the over-zeal of the United
States officials, to abandon the present cam
paign. There is no turning back for us, my
countrymen. Our movement must and shall
advance. Retrogression would entail eternal
infamy, and bring deeper stain of slavery
upon your country and race; and 1T is as legi-
innate Tor you to attack English power in
Canada, as it was for England to attack France
there, or France and America, England.
Remember in union there is strength, and
that union which has been cemented by the
blood of our gallant brothers must be eternal
and let the man be anathematized and banned
who, with lying lips or evil heart, would dare
to weaken or dissolve it. Be true to Ireland,
steadfast in the right, and undismayed by OBJ
stacles; and, remember that,
"Freedom't battle once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though baffied oft, is ever won"
remain, with unchanged determination and
regard, your countryman,
WILLIAM r. ROBERTS,
President Fenian Brotherhood.

Miss Catharine Yeates, daughter OF the late

OF Pennsylvania died in Lancaster last week at
the advanced age of eighty-three years. Miss
Yeates was the founder of and sole contributor
to the establishing of the Yeaes Institute, in
Lancaster, designed for the education OF Young
men for the Episcopal ministry. For this pur-
pose she devoted very large legacy bequeathed
to her by the late e. s. Burd, ESQ.,, OF Philadel-
phia, the amount exceeding 10000; besides
which, for several years previous to the legacy
coming into her possession, the widow OF Mr..
Burd having life interest therein, Miss Yeates
contributed $500 a year from her own private
means to1 the same purpose.
