tiles are hurrying forward troops. Unusual num-
bers of strangers are travelling towards 0gdens-
burg. Rumor connects them with some Fenian
movement. The river at Ogdensburg is frozen
over, and the ice would afford an easy crossing for
an army. The Fenians hold nightly meetings
and the utmost secresy prevails with regard to their
future movements.
An immense Feuian meeting was held at Chicago
the 10th March, and was addressed By Pres
dent Roberts and Others. The revolt in ireland
was disapproved Of Canada being announced as

delegation from the Virginia Legislature visi-
ted the Senate Judiciary Committee on the 18th.
The interview was highly satisfactory. They as
sured the Committee that it was the earnest inten-
ton of the people of Virginia to return to their
Congress. The delegation also visited the Presi-
liant In aid fh4f Aftritb sfan linz n.i.
ton to the Reconstruction bill, now that it was the
law of the land, he should faithfully execute it.
He thought the Legislature had done right in ac-
eeptng its terms, which would alleviate the bitter
ness of feeling prevailing and soon restore the
Southern States to all their relations with the Fed
eral Government.
Delegations from the South are constantly arriv-
ing in Washington to obtain the views of the Pres
ident on reconstruction. The difficulty is that the
bill repudiates the Southern State debts declaring
the present State illegal all the South
States having issued bonds since the establish
ment ,of the present governments. II is said the
President will appoint only Democrats should
the Senate not confirm them, the responsibility
will rest upon that body.
The indications point strongly to impeachment.
However no action has yet taken place.
Danger is expressed that the supplemental Re-
construction bill will be manipulated so as to be-
come a Substitute for the original bill. The new
Senators and some of the old ones are DESTROYS of
commencing the work anew. Senator Nye has
declared that he is not in favor of bringing the
Southern people back noiens rolens, but would
rather furnish propeng power to drive the other
way.
1t is said that the freedmen throughout the South
are organizing Union Leagues through the infu-
of northern teachers and officers of the Freed
mems Bureau. In Georgia. nearly every county
in the State has thoroughly organized radical
society, whose purpose it is to that every freed
man votes against the johnson party. The white
oyalists in the South are uniting with and contro
ling these organizations.
1t is now ascertained that the controlling mem
bers of the Virginia Legislature have determined
not to have the State undertake the organization
of the Reconstruction Convention. The State au-
ihorities will remain passive, and leave the ma
chinery Of the rganzation in the hands of General
Schofield.
The officers of the Virginia State Department
and several members of the Legislature called on
Schofield He advised them to remain in session.
Assurances of good feeling were given by both
parties.

1t is said the President is losing his amiability
on account of what he terms the prosecutions of
the Senate in rejecting his nominations. He has
declared to certain Democratic Congressman that
he should continue to appoint Democrats. He re-
peated that it his infexible determination to
nominate Democrats only to vacant positions.
1t is rumored that an understanding has been
effected between France and the United States

London correspondence of the New York papers
say that the British Government was taken by sur
prise in the LATE Fenian rising. The Fenian plans
embraced Simultaneous outbreaks at London and
Liverpool, with conhs grations by means of nitro
glycerine. There is question but this rising
was led by men who were not asha med of previous
failures. Skrmishes occurred at Tallaght Bridge
Glencullin, Drogheda Castle Martyr, Kildare,
Limerick City, kilma lock, Limerick Junction
and other places. The Munster and Leinster Fen
ians were very deficient in arms and munitions of
war, and were easily dispersed each time. The

grams represented but il would seem TO have been
premature.
