SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
w. G., of New Orleans, on the Only
Way to Free Ireland.
New ORLEANS, June !, 1867.


To the Editors Of the Irish Republic
I am happy to inform you that The IRISH RE-
PUBLIC has given full satisfaction to all the true
Irshmen in this city who have been fortunate
enough to read it. 1t is truly the best Irish ma
tional paper ever published in this country, and as
it's columns contain general information, / have no
doubt that, ere long, it will find its way into the
houses of all true lovers of liberty.
The IRISH REPUBLIC will prove powerful in unit
ing our countrymen, and there is no place in the
world where it is more needed than in the Crescent
City, for there is other place in the world where
Irishmen feel much disposed to injure each 9TH
err and work against each other, in every possible
manner. There are no Irish societies here, though
several attempts have been made, from time to
time, by few patriotic young men, to organize
them. Failure was invariably the result owing to
a lack of unity, and want of confidence in each
other IF our countrymen were only united, what
power they would be in this country; and how
short time it would take them to free Ireland, and
drive forever from her shores the Saxon foe whose
tyranncal acts have crushed her children to the
earth for nearly seven hundred years.
We have a certain class of Irishmen in this coun-
try, land not few in New Oreans,) who, whilst
they express desire to their native land free,
cannot think of reading THE IRISH REPUBLIC, be-
cause it promulgates the doctrine of freedom and
equal rights to all men.
The man who works for his own salvation. and
fights to enslave his fellow man, be he black or
Whitley is not worthy of his own freedom, and
should be allowed no voice in this country nor in
the Irish Republic which President Roberts is
about to establish There is another class of Irish
men here, who believe in the O'Connell doctrine,
and consider the Fenians perfect fools for attempt
ing to liberate Ireland by the sword. They say
that England is too powerful, and that all efforts
will surely prove futile
have no hesitation in saying, and I say it bold
ly, that such men are more injurious to our holy
cause, than all the British spies and red-coats that
her gracious Cor graceless) Majesty could hurl
against us. They are, in fact worse than rattle
snakes trying to poison our best efforts towards the

an Irish prison have never closed on truer man
than this same EDWARD DUFFY. This is saying
great deal, when we think of all the great souls
that have burst their prison bonds at the call of God
in h-English dungeons There Is not a county
in Ireland where this same restless, hoping spirit
has not sowed the seeds Of liberty anew Forever
on the move, regardless of consequences, he has
effected more real work than almostany single man
in Ireland He felt that death had marked him for
an early call, and he was determined to make the
most Of his years, in the work Of leaving his coun-
try nation when he should be no more. His hopes,
as he always expressed himself to his friends,
that he would meet death half way by dying on an
Irish battlefield for liberty, instead of crawling
slowly into a consumptive grave. That his desires
have not been gratifed is no fault of his.
The excitement of his late years, and his hopes
for Ireland have buoyed him up and kept him alive.
TWAS the triumph of spirit over matter, and now,
that he is
"Banished from the green hills, and the streams
The Preside faces and the haunts of men;
To feel the breath of God upon his brow
Or gaze upon the midnight
All, God, to sit within his lampess grave,
And know the great world swings her merry gait
And laughing thro' the meadows green;
And birds singing in the tall, green woods;
While he whose soul is bursting with songs,
Pines cherries in his songless prison tomb
life will be no longer worth battling for, and the
angel of mercy will call at his dungeon doors
and cry "Open."
There is a realm where souls are free,
And tyrants faint natures bliss;
If death the opening to that bright land be-
Why would you live enslaved in this?"
Burke is reported dying, and Duffy is expected
to die at any moment. What strange coincidence
if two such souls should bust their bonds together
Duffy's speech is, in many respects, superior to
Burke's and in one respect the most valuable to
the Irish people, if they will listen to the warning
voice which he raised ere the prison doors closed
upon him forever He has fixed the guilt Of
treachery on Stephens SO firmly that power on
earth can wash him clean again. We expected
this as soon as we heard of Duffy's second arrest
and trial. We had a letter of his at the
Head Quarters of the Fenian Brotherhood pre-
vious to his second arrest, wherein he accused
Stephens of completely with the British Govern
ment; and affirmed that he (Stephens) had
trapped all the leading men in Ireland, and had
them arrested and convicted. He also alleged that
Stephens dared not go to Ireland, for the organza
ton there would not suffer him to exist. This letter
could not have been published at the time as it
would involve Duffy; but as the Government
has done its worst the parties who received this
letter should publish it.
Hear what Duffy says, you who compose the
Fenian Brotherhood, forit is to you he speaks,
and not 'why sentence of death should not be
pronounced.''

4 Singular Well of Water.

There is a singular well on the farm Of
NJ. Bacon, about three miles west of this
city. 1t Is torty-seven and half feet deep,
with another about twenty feet from it, ten
feet deep, and still another fifty feet from
1t thirty-slx feet deep. The water from
this well, when first drawn, is very cold,
and has an exceedingly pleasant and pal
atable taste, but after standing few mo
ments it is impossible to drink it. Pota-
toes, or other vegetables boiled in it, instead
OF getting soft and eatable, remain hard and
tough, and do not seem to cook at all,
though heated through, willie the outside
OF them soon becomes covered with shiny
substance, very much like grease. The
hands or face, washed in it, also become
covered with grease when soap is used. -
W hat Is stranger STILL the stock at first will
not touch 1t, but afterward get to like it so
well that they will driuk no o. her, not even
when exceedingly thirsty. A sample of it
IS to be brought to the city, when George
Cumming will analyze it, at least sufficient
ly to ascertain what are its principal CON-
poncnt parts. s.-Lafayette Journal.
