DEAR EAGLE: I am so hoarse | can
hardly write, making speeches all the
week. Fenian speeches, of course. The
time is drawing near. The day ap-
proaches. So does the hour. This day
week we strike the blow Meantime we
blow and strike-for greenbacks.
The green has risen several degrees
above the red, and the surburst illumines
the cerulean armament
That is, it would if there wasn't so
much dust to obscure the view But so
long as we raise the wind, the people
coming down with the dust, we don't
mind the weather.
The wind may blow dust in the eyes OF
that atrocious miscreant and oppressor,
John Bull, but we will open his eyes next
week. with large flea in each ear and
an Irish pike in his coat tail. AS the
present number of the Eagle will not
reach the British Parliament until after
the blow is struck, can unfold our plans
without risk. General Sweeney will take
Canada some morning, and the Senate
will move in with their archives. Col.
OMahony will sail privately, with fleet
of fifteen hundred privateers, for Ireland.
An unnavigable bay, where there IS not
water enough to float an English gun
boat. is the point of debarkation for the
Fenian army of six hundred and nifty
thousand men, with ammunition and
whiskey enough TO last them for six
months. The army will intrench itself
in an impossible bog on an inaccessible
mountain, which the Colonel is well ac-
quainted with, and there await the
onslaught of the constabulary.
The privateers will capture all the Brit
ish iron-clads that may be lying around
loose, sink the balance of the English
navy, and sweep English commerce from
the seas. They will then sail up the
Thames and capture Greenwich, liberat-
ing all the wooden-legged pensioners on
parole. London will then be taken and
the underground railroad cut to prevent
the English Parliament from obtaining
further supplies from Islington. The
Tower of London will be closely invested
and Charing Cross declared in state OF
siege. If Lord John Russell should
make an obstinate resistance orders will
be given to lombard Hyde Park, and
blockade the Serpentine. The aristoc-
racy being unable to take their usual
carriage exercise in this resort will be
driven TO their clubs for refuge, and con-
suming all the provisions on the premises
will soon be reduced to state OF famine
and must capitulate on any terms. They
will be deprived of their titles and estates,
and whatever money or jewelry they may
have about them. Parliament will be
abolished and John Bright appointed
Provisional Governor of England, Wales
and the Isle of Wright The fleet will
then sail for Dublin and participate In
the Coronation Of 0'Mahoney the First,
Emperor of the Fenian Islands, which
will be the future desigation OF the British
Isles. The various Fenian Circles OF
BROOKLYN and the several Democratic
General Committees will move over 10
ireland. where primaries will he held
and delegates sent to all the Conventions
as usual, sufficient number of !rishmen
remaining here to fill all the bcrative
public offices. / am to have position
in the Fenian Cabinet; George Francis
Train is to be raised to the Peerage as
Baron Balderdash and Prince Blnthers-
kite. Robinson viii be created Count
Blarney. Barney Williams will be ap-
pointed Irish Ambassador to Bath, aud
Dan Bryant Minister to Hayti. Congress
will be called upon TO guarantee Fe-
MAN loan Of five thousand millions, to set
O'Mahoney Up respectfully as potent
tate. and rs security the government can
take mortgage on the furniture in Union
Square. Fenianism pervades society to
its remotest ramifcations. Train has let
out the secret that Andy johnson and
Napoleon are both Head Centres Imay
add on the sans authority that the Ty-
coon Of japan, Thad. Stevens, Billy
Bowlezs and tAe Man in the Noon are all
members Of circles in good staSding.
An amendment TO the Constitution will
be made abolishing red, and subjecting
anybody wearing that color to capital
punishment Exceptions viii be made
in favor Of persons wearing red noses,
provided they can establish the fact that
the color was naturally acquired BY
drinking Irish whiskey.
