held responsible for the language attrib-
uted to him in a conversation published
in the New York Citizen some days since.

parties are at work in every Southern
| State to organize conventions under the
Reconstruction bill. Unconditional
Union men say, however, that the dis
! qualifications Of the Reconstruction bill
are not comprehensive enough to insure
the salty of the Union cause, rs many

ing made in this city by the Fenians to
raise money enough to set aloat a feet
of Fenisn privateers.
The Herald's Athlone, Ireland, CORES
pondence Of the 25th ult., contains mat
ter which goes to prove that the Fenian
insurrection in that country forms a
part of a revolutionary movement which
is daily becoming more imminent in
| Great Britain, and in which the military
organizations act according to a clearly
| defined and strictly ordered plan. An
~ticipating the last rising by many. days,
he states the very day on which it &C.
CURED, he sketches pretty freely COM
| ing operations, such rs the destruction
| of the telegraphs and railroads, and re-
| specting the safety of the Atlantic Tele-
graph on account Of American interests.
OF the affair at Chester, he states that
| the officers left their hiding places, am
| munition being collected in convenient
| magazines, and hundreds of young men
were prepared to leave their homes to
participate in the struggle. At the
same time 1000 stalwart men in the
workshops of Manchester, Liverpool and
| Birmingham threw down their tools of
labor and started for Chester, where
was situated an autiquated castle in
which were stored $1,000 stand of rifles
and a very large, quantity Of ammuni-
| ton, guarded by about 40 infantrymen
of very doubtful loyalty. These men
arrived in Chester, and the government
was terribly frightened. Just at this

deposed, an energetic officer, appointed

land, and learning the condition Of
| affairs, Immediately sent an officer to
| Chester with orders to prevent al attack
on the place. He arrived just in time. |

am prepared to state, and the result will
| show the correctness Of the assertion, |
| that in several counties of Ireland every |
| able bodied man, excepting some priests
and all parsons, soldiers, policemen and
landlords, and other persons dependent
upon the government, is ready to join
the insurgent forces or tender them
assistance" The principal officer in
command Of the Fenisns was formerly
an officer in tho English service and
lately of the American rebel army.
