BUFFALO, August 2I.-The Fenian pic
mic has turned out large. They marched
in procession this forenoon through some
of the principal streets, and we're con-
Quoted by Irish military companies, the
soldiers being armed only with guns.
As the Fenians constitute large portion
of the gathering, it is safe to say that no
raid is contemplated on Her Majesty s
dominions to-day Gems. Spear, Murphy
and O'Neil arrived yesterday. and will
be present at the picnic. An invitation
has also been extended to Col Booker

special says there is great excitement
among the Fenians here, and a move
ment of some kind is evidently under
way, although everything is kept pro-
foundly secret Some mysterious picnics
and pleasure gatherings are announced
in this vicinity.
Three hundred Fenians left Louisville
last night to attend one of their picnics,
and on the same train there were thirty
cases of rifles. Companies Of the lS0th
Fenian regiment leave Louisville for
Chicago tonight Also 200 Fenians
from Nashville, each one carrying a
four-shooter by way of provisions.
Two hundred Fenians passed through
Nashville yesterday from Memphis, on

even from New Orleans, that the Fenians
there are making preparations for the

Greeley on Davis.

Horace Greeley has been badgered
again by Thurlow Weed, about his posi-
ton regarding the trial of JEFF. Davis,
and strikes back in this style:
We can not help regarding the i'm
prisonment of Davis as a swindling farce
and cheat. He has been kept immured
so long that only the wilfully blind can
fail to see that there is no purpose to try
him with any intent to convict He is
kept in Jail awaiting a favorable time to
turn him out If tried, there will be a
quarter of a million spent on lawyers
and witnesses, with no idea of obtaining
a verdict. Meantime, the seeming lion
is constantly assuring the prey that he
is no real lion, but only Snug the Joiner
compelled to roar and show his teeth,
to save him from the blood thirsty Radi-
Gals. We refuse to play the part as
signed us in this party business. The
prisoner is not to be punished-he. is
not even to be tried in earnest-siop the
farce and let him 90

Solemn Mass for the Confederate Dead.

The belief Of the Catholic Church that
by our prayers and supplications here
on earth we may assist and benefit the
souls of our departed friends, has some
thing sublime and beautiful in it. The
practice Is as old as the church herself,
and, according to this belief, on Saturday
last the Rev Father Joseph Bixio celes
brated a solemn high mass for the bene-
fit of the souls of the Confederate dead,
at St. Francis Church, in this place.
The church was dressed in deep mourn
ing, the altar, etc., very tasiefully hung
with black Grape The vestments Of the
celebrant we're the black and white used
on such occasions The services were
very imposing and solemn. We Wit
messed many a moist eye during the few
appropriate and impressive remarks of
the Reverend Father
. The music, a requiem selected and
composed mostly by the leader Of the
choir, Professor Louis Idle, was very
solemn and touching.
: Nothing could be more appropriate
than this solemn ceremony, and what
ever may have been the peculiar re-
ligious views Of any present, all united
in heartfelt and earnest prayer for those
who, in glourious cause, gave their
lives - Valley TfreiRian

Another Civil War Threatened.

Gerrit Smith has recently published a
letter in which, with characteristic frank
ness and candor, he expresses his opin-
ion that another civil war is probably
necessary, and is close upon us. We
make the following extract:
The war will break out again if suf-
frage is withheld from the black man. 1t
will, in that case, break out in revenge
npon the loyal whites of the South, in
persecution of the blacks Of the South,
and but too probably, on much broader,
if not indeed on national scale
In all probability, our nation will learn
no more of righteousness until she shall
have drifted on to another breaking up
In all probability she must reach another
bloody catastrophe before her sunken
soul shall feel another upward impulse.
In closing this letter, let me say that |
would not underrate the present Con-
gress. In the main it is composed of
men who are neither ignorant of the
right nor Indifferent to it. Unhappily
they were not sufficiently resolute to
follow up their convictions and insist on
harvesting the fruits of our dear bought
victory. Alas, that Congress has, but
too probably, lefta impossible for these
fruits erer to be harvested. Alas, that
its mistakes have, but too probably,
rendered vain all this expenditure of
blood and treasure The nation must
pass through another season of sorrow
ere it shall reach its season ofjoy. Seed
must again be sown in tears and
blood ere this nation shall reap its har-
vest of salvation. .t,
