The ADVENTURES OF Two FENIANs-Thet,,
Escape from Toronto ,Ja1.-Day before yester-
day two Fenians passed through this city, who
had been prisoners in Toronto Jail with some ff
teen others. They were originally from Indiana
polls, but were members of the company of Capt
Fitzpatrick, of Nashville. At the time of their
capture they were on picket, and were forgotten
in the Fenian retreat from Ridgway to Fort Erie.
After their capture they were put into Toronto
Jail Seventeen were in the same apartment, all
of whom escaped, except one who was sick with
chills aud fever. Onn OF the prisoners knew the
iaior in Cork county, Ireland, aud they were fur
nished with a new carving knife by the jaiiors
sister; they cut through two floors after two days
work and found themselves in a walled cellar. 1t
took them five days to pick the mortar out Of the
stones. After escaping, they followed the To
rontO railroad southwark toward the States. Aftel
travelling three days they were nearly starved, and
two Of them obtained a couple of hams and 9
bucket of crackers from a friendly Irishman
After this they separated, and all succeeded il
getting TO the United States. They report tina
handbtlls were stuck up in every place offering
rewards for their apprehension They were nearly
captured several times by the troops. While ii
prison they were fed on bread and water ant
their cell was in q horrible condition. One of thu
prisoners died in the cell. and his body was no
removed for twenty-four hours. 1t was thei
opinion that nothing could be done to them, AM
were expecting to be discharged, but with Iris
courage determined to escape.-[Lou. Journal

We are kindly permitted to make the following
extracts from a private letter, dated at Month
cello junction. Fla, Sept. H.
"Cholera has been playing wild at Cedar Keys.
It made its appearance there on Friday on satur;
then the panic began. Everybody trying to get
away and only two.mules and one wagon to do the
hauling, and no train until. Monday. All business
ceased mills were stopped, houses were deserted,
stores were closed, doors were locked up and
nailed up; and on Monday everybody who had
not left or taken the disease departed
Some sick ones, who were taken along
were left on the road, and some were
taken sick after starting. William Stockton was
one of those left. James Gibson, a son of Col
William Gibson, of Gadsden county, good Con
federate, soldier, and Mr.; Burgess, were among
in from five to fifteen hours. Nobody coult
stand it; all who were taken died, A young
man Just from there said They had no time tt
make their wills; they could only call on God ant
die William Stockton is q son of Col. W. 7
Stockton, Of Quincy, and hope he will not die
The disease will now probably die out, as only
few negroes are left there.

THE BRAIN.-One of the most incnneeivable
things in the nature of the brau is that, although
the organ of sensation, it should itself be insensi
BILE; 70 cut the brain gives no pain; yet in the
any part of the body. If the nerve which leads to
it from the injured part be divided, We become
instantly unconscious of suffering. 1t is only by
communication with the brain that any kind of
sensation Is produced; yet the organ itself is
insensible. But there is circumstance more
wonderful still.
A certain portion of the brain may be removed
without destroying life, The animal lives and
performs all OF those functions necessary to sim
pie vitality, but it has no longer mind: it cannot
think or feel. Itrequired that the food should be
pushed into its stomach; once there it is digested
and the animal will even thrive and grow fat. We
infer therefore, that part of the brain is simply
intended for the exercise of the intellectual facul
ties, whether of the lower grade, called instinct
or of that exalted kind bestowed on man, and
termed reason.

4 sAcourTTAL OF GEN. MERcER.-We are glad to
learn from the New York papers that Gen. Hugh
W. Mercer, who was recently tried at Savannah
before Military Commission, has been acquitted
and that the finding of the Court has been approved
at Washington. We learn from the New York
News that i3aE 5N Gist& EsaetI tHs &'A
MGeneral Mercer was tried upon the charge of
having murdered seven Federal soldiers. The
facts as elected upon the trial showed that these
men had been captured by the Confederates that
whilst prisoners of war they enlisted in the Con-
federate army; thatafterwards, upon the approach
OF Sherman's army, they through fear of the con-
sequences OF being reoaptured by him, attempted
20 desert to him. that they were taken in the act,
tried, convicted of desertion and shot. There was
no evidence produced on the trial even tending to
connect Gen. Mercer with the trial or execution of
these men; but knowing that he was very OBJ
noNious to Mr.. Stanton because he had been edu-
Gated at West Point, and that the Secretary of
War had advertised forwitnesses to appear against
him, and believing that these would not be want
ing, we were certain that the General would be
convicted. and either sent to Dry Tortugas for
life, or hung The Court however seems to have
been composed of intelligent and honorable
officers, and the trial to have been fairly con-
dueted.
4 We congratulate the country upon the auspi-
cous event.
