How H. this, General

Major + w Andrews, who is the Ed
itor of the Ne,r Era, published at Mar
tinsburg, in this State, in his last issue,
uses the following language:
I'VE have been informed that Gen
eral Harris, in late speech made by him
at Parkcrsburg, quoted II. II. Blackburn,
Esq, of this town, as his authority for
stating that we were dismissed the
military service of the United States in
disgrace, for dislOyalty." Mr.. Black
burn has called upon us, and pronounced
the statement that he had ever asserted
any such thing, to Gen. Harris, or any
one else, an Infamous lie
As the matter now stands before us,
Gen. Harris appears to be both the SLAM
derer and liar. If any charge ofdsloyal-
ty to the United States Government was
ever preferred against rs while we were
in the army, we were kept in profound
ignorance of the fact. We never heard
of it before. Our commission as Assist
ant Adiutant. General. was direct from
President Lincoln, confirmed by the
United States Senate, and this after we
had been two years in the volunteer
service

NEW YORK, May 1l-Mr Stephens,
head centre of the Fenians, who arrived
here yesterday, was met on his arrival
by a committee of the Fenian Brother
hood, and by thousands of Irishmen who
were anxiously waiting for his arrival.
He proceeded from the wharf to the
Metropolitan hotel followed by the
crowd, where he will remain, for the
present Mr., Stephens remained in his
room conversing with the committee and
receiving calls of such friends as he
chose to meet in familiar conversation
with the reports of the press Stephens
gave a few hints Of the object of his
mission, and confidently asserted that
the Irish army would fight on their own
soil ere the expiration Of the present
year The Committee of Arrangements
expects the Common Council to give
Mr. Stephens reception. There will
also be a good demonstration at Jones'
wood, where the head centre will fully
explain the object of bis mission to this
country.
Mr. B Doran Killian has issued o war
order to the Brotherhood, in which he
states that he has made no report of his
action on the border, because the public
should not know everything connected
with war purposes until the action pro.
posed is defeated or is successful; bnt
he proceeds To state that his enterprise
on the Eastern border is only temporarily
banked, not defeated He concludes by
stating that he and Mr.. O'Mahony are
on the best of terms, not enemies, as
published
Mr.. Stephens was serenaded by the
99th regiment, Colonel OMahony, who
arrived at his hotel about midnight.
Mr. Stephens made a short address, not
lasting over ten minutes His manner
of delivery was slow, and his voice was
so inaudible rs to be scarcely heard. lie
said he did not belong to any party; lie
wished unit of all the Irish people, and
he should let no man be accused until
he was fairly tried and fonnd guilty.
Party expressions had been doing n
great deal Of harm to the cause, and he
advised the sensible minded FenIans to
refrain from such habit We, said he,
came mere ny III llutiou, duu SnouiN'
keep quiet for q time. When the COM
mittee now appointed to inquire into
matters of the Irish of the Republic had
made their report, then he would have
something to say. After expressing
thanks for the serenade, he continued
his remarks, saying that the people OF
Ireland were prepared for a long time
but they had been disappointed in not
receiving support before this.
A number of Irishmen have called
upon Stephens today, to whom he inva
riably said he had come out here to
effect reconciliation between the con
qending factions. He also announced
| that he had been induced to accept Col
O'Mahoney's resignation with this view
He had approved of the choice of O'Ma
honey because he was apposed to the In
| vasion of Canada measure which ht
was sorry to say had received the sane
! ton of the Senate here The last oficia
movement of Head Centre O'Mahoney
was to remove KilliaD, the Treasurer
which act Mr.. Stephens approved.
