Mysterious Movements at New Or
Ienns-DOn't Know whether it is
FcnIans or knights OF Arabia.
The Herald's New Orleans special OF yes
terday says: Much excitement prevailed
among our Irish citizens to-day from some
cause, possibly the card from Head Center
McClCAry calling on all able-bOdied Fenians
to report for duty Immediately. Several
prominent Fenian officials from New York
yesterday left here for Mobile, where the
blockader Mary, Captain Hayes, is being
prepared for sea, but whether by Fenians
or Knights of Arabia, Is unknown. She
has large surplus crew on board, and it is
pretty well established that she is destined
for some mysterious cruise, the Times
says for San Antono, Cuba, where she will
receive her armament. The Deputy Com
mander of knights of Arabia left this city
inc0gnito on the 3D. inst, leaving part of
his baggage behind. Something Is in the
wind, but whether the expedition is against
the English merchant vessels, or raid upon
st. Domingo, by the Knights, cannot be
discovered. ~
