Uprising OF the Fenians-Warn-
ing 10 1he British authorities.

The trial and condemnation of the Fenian
prisoners in Canada is creating great ex
element in every part of this country.
Disturbances have commenced even in the
colonies, as we see by the news from Brant-
ford. But this is a very small affair COM
pared with what will take place on the
border il tile British authorities should be
so foolish as to execute the condemned
Fenians. The uprising in this country has
commenced, and it will swell to such vast
proportions that neither the British nor our
own Government will be able to keep it
down. From every quarter we see the Fe-
mans are preparing tor action on q much
larger scale than ever. There are plenty Of
Americans, too who are ready to Join them
in the event of the Canadian Government
carryingout the extreme measures threat
ened. Our Government will not be able to
prevent an overwhelming invasion of the
colonies, on account of the difficulties be-
tween the President and Congress, and be-
cause we have enough to attend to at home !;
and should any difficulty arise between
England and ourselves in consequence, it
would be far more serious to that power
than to us. We give both the colonial ali-
thoriLies and the home Government warn
ing that they are on the verge of over
whelming trouble If they do not act mer-
cifully and prudently with the, Fenian
prisoners. They had better drop the whole
of the trials and set those already condemn
ed at liberty. This is our advice.-Ns Y,

GeneraI Grams Opinions. J.

We,had supposed that Gen. Grant had
snubbed, in sufficiently sharp manner, an
individual who recently undertook.to give
his opinions upon a political subject to
prevent any attempt of the kind in the fu-
ture by any person who had any self-re-
spect. He ordered note written to this
individual forbidding him to presume to
give hisopinions on any subject whatever,
and denying that any one had ever any
right ito, set before the public opinions as
being,held by him. This action, whiehwas
made necessary by numerous publications
was only taken few weeks since, and yet
hardly day has passed since then in which
some "intimate personal friend" some
l"gentleman who was favored with an in
terview," some '.distrguished Senator y
some Galena leatherldealer, or somebody
else, has not taken upon himself to inform
an anxious public as to the sentiments of
Gen. Grant, on one or another topic of
public, interest. We, find in bundle OF
exchanges We have Just glanced over, his
views upon the Fall elections, with particu-
lar applications, his views on the Presi-
dents policy and the constitutional amend
ment, his views on the next Presidency,
and who are likely to be the candidates,
withiafewiremarl1s onthe possibility of his
being a candidate himself. We suppose
that some folks. fancy that Gen. Grant
must feel very much battered by this pre-

American Archaeology.

The handsome endowment by Mr.. Pea
body, of Harvard College, with $l50,000
for museum and professorship Of Ameri-
can archaeology and ethn,hOgy is, perhaps,
one of the most enlightened and wise be-
stowments of this truly wise, wealthy and
benevolent gentleman. American archeo-
logy is a study which has but few votaries,
yet t Is interesting and may be made val
liable. and afford mankind much Instructive
Information in relation to the past history
of our land. The money for these pur-
poses is left by Mr.. Peabody to seven trus-
tees named, and their successors are to be
the President of the Massachusetts Histori-
cal Society, Of the Essex Institute, of the
American Anliquarian Society, the Amer
can Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Of
the Boston Natural History Society, TOR the
time being, eG 06ci0. f.fI....- .-.-. ..zilts
In the letter rendering this sum, Mr.. Pea
body says he wishes only to make two sug-
gestions: 1st, That as the ancient mOnu-
ments are fast disappearing, he hopes they
Will lose no time in getting to work; and
also, that in the event OF the discovery in
America of human remains or implements
of an earlier geological period than the
present, especial attention be giren to their
st1tdy, and their comparison with those
found in other countries, .. F.....
1t is well known that Professor Agassiz
has pronounced this emphatically the old
continent, and from the fishes in its interior
lakes, he considers that il has been less dis
turbed by geologic changes than that Of
Europe for lon9erperiod. The Professor
has long proclaimed that he has found
proofs Of the existence of race much
more ancient than has been commonly
supposed. The indications are that the
country was the dwelling place of a peo-
pie differentin many particulars from the
Indians who were found in possession at
the time of the European discovery and
settlement. These men were apparently
more civilized than the Indians-there are
remains which indicate science and judg-
ment, aud have led many to suspect that
they originally emigrated from Asia or
Europe. There are supposed evidences,
also, of the existence formerly of mon
strous animals. not now known on the con-
tinent. In addition, the work on the An
tiquity of Man, recently published By Sir
Charles Lyell, has caused many neglected
facts to be broughtto light, but there has
thus far, been no fund in this country to
pay the expenses of explorations at'pnper
localities. Through Mr.. Peabody's wise
munifcenee, it is probable that early steps
will be taken for the Investigation and
authorization Of all facts bearing on this
great scientific Question Baltimore Sum-.

T,be GubernatoriaT Campaign.

At this early date number of papers
are discussing the Gubernatorial campaign
of 1867, and urging specific time for hold
ing our State Convention and candidates
for nomination. The Sth OF January has
been mentioned as the most fitting time
To this we interpose no objection. AS to
the candidates we believe the people are
competent to take care of that matter with
out the officious manipulations of wire-
workers, and therefore seldom permit our
self to espouse the claims OF any one gen.
tleman over another, leaving that to the
unbiased Judgment of a Convention OF the
Democracy. Since, however, Others have
seen fit to press the claims of their favor
ties, we may be INDUCED in similar eXer-
else of our right to indicate our preference.
Without disparaging the claims of any
other gentleman, We propose name for
Gubernatorial honOrs that is house,
hold word in every Democratic FAM
lily, and whose ability, integrity and
Democracy stands to day as it has
from childhood, unchalenged, if not
unrivalled-a man of spotless reputation
and of unimpeached and unimpeach-
able honor-a man whom the Democracy
would delight to honor, and whose name
would bea tower of strength in the canvass.
We mean Judge Allen G. Thurman, of Co.
lumbus-no not of Columbus, but of Ohio,
for he is part of the Democracy of Ohio,
familiarly known in every county of the
State and withont an enemy in his party,
anywhere. We do not Know that Judge
Thurman desires denomination. We know
he is not seeking it, for he seeks no nomina-
tion, and never did; but if nominated, we
think We know the man well enough to say
that he will obey the behests of his friends
and will not decline to accept, though it be
at the expense of personal sacrifices. We
think that an expression of the Democracy
of Marion county would almost unani-
mously indicate Judge Thurman rs their
choice for that distinguished POSITION
