A Feuian Expedition.

New York, July 20.
The little brig which conveyed the party
of twenty Fenians to Ireland, including
Generals Warren and Nagle, an account of
whose landing and arrest at Dungerron, Ire
land, has been published, has arrived back.
1t appears she was chartered by wealthy
Irishmen of this city, who reported to
have cleared her with.a cargo of hardware,
said hardware being two thousand muskets,
and considerable ammunition. On arriving
off the coast of Ireland it was found the
brig was not provided with boats, and most
of the. party were obliged to jump over
board in the night and swim ashore in the
surf The brig. attracted attention from
the coast guard, but managed to elude
them. The cargo Of muskets has been dis
charged, and many are now on their way
towards Canada. Two or three of the orig
inal party of Fenians came back in the brig.
The Expedition was conducted with the ut
most secrecy. -...i.. f-.r.t

Maximilian's last words to his Wife.

The Queretalo Espanza states Minister
Romero, at Washington, secured the order
fer the execution of Maximilian, against
the strong inclination of Juarez towards
clemency. 1t also publishes the following
letter from Maximilian to his wife:
My beloved Carlotta-
IF God permit that your health get bet
ter, and you should read these few lines,
you will learn the cruelty with which fate
has stricken me since your departure for
Europe. You took along with you my
heart ; but my good fortune why did /
not give heed to your voice? So many un-
toward events, SO many sudden blows have
shattered all my hopes, SO that death is but
a happy deliverance, not an agony to me-
[ shall die gloriously-like soldier-liko a
King, vanauished but not dishonored.- :
If your sufferings are too great, and God
should call you soon to join me, shall bless
His divine hand, which has weighed so
heavily upon US. Adieu, adieu.
Your poor MAX.

Innocent from the Omro Uni;on, is al
most too revolving for credence

As we obtain the news, it is as follows !:
Amos Doxtater, dumb boy Is or 20 years
of age, living near Eureka, wandered from
home, got lost, and finally brought up
about dark at the house of W. H. Fay,
Poygan. From his actions, it is supposed
he wished to stay over night. Fay tried to
drive him away, but he would not go. Fay
got his gun and cracked cap on it at him;
yet he would not go, but laughed and
came forward and offered to shake hands.
Fay gave the gun to his wife telling her to
load it with beans, which she did, lie
then shot the boy, the charge taking effect
in the left shoulder He was SO close that
the powder burned him quite badly and set
his clothes on fire. Fay threw pail of
water on him to extinguish the fire. Fay
bound the boy, lead him to a neighbor' S
barn, tied him there, and left him. The
boy got loose and went into the house.

BURGLARY-Cool Conduct of the Thief
"A month or SO ago young man aged s
or 49, who had neither clothes to his back
or shoes to his feet, called upon Mr.. HENRY
WILCOX, at his saloon and confectionery
establishment, and Mr.. w, recognizing
him as a son of friend living in town in
New York where he formerly resided, acted
a very friendly part to him, procured him
clothing, boots, yictuals, &C., and other
necessaries. But the young man was evi-
dently hardened case, dreaded work, and
made it point to hang around Mr.. WILL
cox, greatly to the discomfort of that gen.
tleman, who had in short time formed a
very disagreeable opinion of him. Last
Saturday morning, on Mr.. WILcox's 8 clerk
entering the store, he found that during
the previous night a pane Of glass had been
cut out of one of the back doors, and that
the burglar had entered his arm through
the hole, taking hold of the key, and turn
ing the lock On the inside But few ar
ticles were found missing, and Mr.. VIII
cox, in his good nature, refused to prose
cute, or even mention the name of the
burglar, out of regard to the boys parents,
who are respectable people in the interior
of New York. In an hour or two after the
discovery, however, the following note, ad-
dressed to Mr.. WILCOX, was found in the
showcase, which we publish just as writ
ten, and which shows that the boy, by
proper training, might yet become tai
ented and respectable man. We give his
letter, with bill of items stolen, just as put
on paper in his own handwriting:

No CHANCE FOR DISSATISFACTION ID.
B. De Land & Co., authorize those who sell
their goods, to tell purchasers to use one
half of paper of their Best Chemical Sal
eratus, and then if they are not entirely
satisfied with its superiority over Soda or
any other brand of Saleratus, to return
the balance and get the money for the
whole refunded. This Saleratus is per-
feet, therefore they are willing to let it
stand or fall upon its own merit.

SPEECH OF Mr.. ELDRIDGE.-We hope
none of our readers will fail to peruse the
short but eloquent speech of Hon. CHAs.
A. ELDRIDGE, recently delivered in the
House at Washington, and published on
the inside of to-day's Plot. Although the
liberal and magnonimous majority gave
Mr.. E. but ten minutes to speak bis senti-
ments. we think every candid reader will
say that in that time he expounded more
truth than any of his villifers could do in
ten hours.

A STARTLING DIscLosURE-It is with
much regret that we have seen some Eng

on the conduct of two Canadian priests
implicated in the Surratt trial. We should

rctcence as we have done towards them
If we had wished, we could have published
long since, the name of Protestant minis
ter, whose letter is under our eyes, and
who himself originated the idea Of assas-
sinating President Lincoln. The confcd
erte agents in Canada, whose answer we
also hold, declined the proposal, and the
minister then resorted to a private attempt.

tcrprising fellow citizens, Messrs THos. &
JOHN ROBINSON, have enlarged their scale
of business in the drug and medicine trade,
by purchasing DR.. HAERING's establish
ment in Green Bay. The interest of the
bro theirs are identical in both places, and
while TON will attend to the store in
Manitowoc, "JoHN" will do the agreeable
in the Bay City. We will not speak Of the

JOHN ROBINSON to every person doing
business at Green Bay as scientific chem
list and druggist, and an open handed, up
and-down, Straightforward business man.
Green Bay has acquired valuable acqui-
sition to her social and business population.

A FINE GARDEN. For the first time
during our residence here we visited the
garden of JACOB LEUps, Esq, a few days
since, and must confess that it exceeded
our anticipations. Visitors to that hand

taste and enterprise can accomplish. Mr..
LEUps has all kinds of fruit, including
peaches, plums, pears, apples, and esti-
mates his cherry crop this year at forty
bushels. His vineyard, also, is one of the
finest ia the West. Mr.. LEUps not only
takes care of his orchard, but manages a
large and profitable farm besides. We

From tie Boston Post.
About a fortnight ago youag man
named w. 7. Barry, a broker, doing bust
ness at No. Brattle Square, suddenly
disappeared, taking with him IS, 900 worth
Of Tewehy beleHging to Federhen i Co.,
jewelers., 6r Court St, which had been en-
trusted to his care About the same tirne
q young lady of Chelsea, named Alice A.
Bartlett, as mystcriously left her~paternal
roof, and, as she had been rather intimate
with Barry of late, it was at once surmsed
that she had accompanied the broker afore-
said ON his jaunt of pleasure. The impro-
pricty of the proceeding was greatly en-
hanced by the fact that Barry left behind
him a wife and child Detective Wade, of
4thc State Police, in company with a broth
er of the wife, started on Tuesday last in
pursuit of the missing pair, who, it was
discovered, had directed their erring course
to the Great West. The pursuers proceed
ed to Albany and Rochester, but found no
traces Of the couple, aud then proceeded
on to Buffalo, where they separated, each
to explore on different trail. At the Nj
agara Falls depot, in Buffalo, the detective
unexpectedly discovered the pair just in
the act of embarking for the Falls. The
detective, of course, accompanied them on
their journey to the international Hotel,
where the couple registered as ''W T. b."
and lady, and the detective, taking the pen
from the fingers of the broker. wrote his
own signature directly below. This was on
the morning of the Fourth. After the pair
had been refreshed with breakfast they
called for carriage and enjoyed ride over
the Suspension Bridge to the Canadians
side, returning to the hotel at nishtfall--
In the evening they participated in hop
at the International, the detective remain
ing ncog. all the while, and no dossbt q
highly interested spectator Of the scene
The next day, finding that Barry had pur-
chased tickets for the West the detective
proceeded in advance to Buffalo, and with
the assistance of his companion arrested
the pair just as they were embarking on a
steamer for Cleveland. Tho prisoner WAS
then charged with embezzlement aud
adultery, and was brought back to this city
with the officer. The girl also voluntarily
made one Of the party. The broker will
probably be arraigned at the municipal
court in few days, but is now at large on
bail. The trunks of the broker were en-
amined yesterday afternoon at mayor Jones
office, and were found to contain about

authority, that all the Indians now on the

man on Indian affairs in the house, Mr..
Window, in a debate on Indian treat
les, on Monday, stated that the war is
costing about 81, 100000 per week. A
very little ability in mathematics, and a
little trouble will convince any one that the
expense of chasing the Indians about and
keeping them in lively condition, is about
S75 per day for each Indian. a

LEAVE OF ABSENCE. The health of Mr..
CROWLEY, the senior editor of the Plot,
has been very bad during the present sea
son, preventing him from attending to any
kind of business, and at the present time
it is rather precarious. On this account,

have granted him leave of absence for
short time, hoping that a few days spent in
quiet rustication among old farmer friends
in another portion of the State will restore
him to his usual health, vigor and energy.

A FAvoRITB STEAMER.-As the success
of the steamer Northeast, lately built at
this port, must be matter of qualification n
to those Of our citizens who are public spir-
tied, we insert the following, from the
Milwaukee Sentinel, by which it will be
seen that the gallant steamer is coming
money for her owner and winning laurels
for her builder, Mr. RAND:
,cest would become the favorite boat upon
the Cleveland and Lake Superior route
has been fully verified already, as we learn
from the Detroit papers and other sources.
1t is stated that she took out no less than
troit on the 18th, and was obliged to re-
fuse about fifty applicants besides, for want
of accommodations. These took passage
on the propeller Lronsiles, which has here
tofore been considered the best boat on the
route, but is now fairly overshadowed by
the new steamer. During the short stay Of
the North,cest at Detroit, some gentlemen
representing party Of fifteen tourists who
had already secured berths ON the Ironsides
came on board and were so highly delight
ed with her fine appearance and super
Tor accommodations that they offered to
leave the other boat and take passage on
her, provided they could be furnished with
staterooms. But it was impossible to ac-
commodate them. The Northeast has
proved herself the fastest, as she is the
largest, finest, most commodious and com.
Portable boat on the entire chain of lakes,
and, officered by such men as Capt Ben
Wilkins, Clerk Thompson and Steward
Driscoll-a perfect host in themselves-we
do not wonder at the great demand for ac-
commodatiens upon her in advance of her
advertised excursions
