FROM NEW YORK,
Penian News - Mexican Advice
southern Affairs.

Fenian News - Mexican Advice
seuthern Affairs.
New YORK, March 2l.-The Fenian
excitement in this city has ell subsidized
and the late rebellion in Ireland is con-
coded to have been disgraceful failure.
The only party who receive any atten-
ton are those who favor an invasion OF
Canada. Several meetings have been
held on the subject of an early invasion,
and steps are being taken that look
very much like work.
The Hsrald's st. Adams correspon-
dent saws that several United States
army officers had arrived and passed
through. No troops had come as yet.
1t was rumored, however, that force
had been forwarded from Fort Warren.
The militia officers about the village
had been consulting as to the amount
of equipage and ammunition needed
to fit ont home companies for service.
On the other hand, several bands OF
Irishmen had arrived, we'll equipped
with everything requisite for a tour and
bearing traces of an undoubted ten
dency towards Fenianism.
The Herald's Vera Cruz correspondent
says: The most formidable body OF
horsemen known in Mexico for many
years has been organized and placed
under General Mejia's command, and
should the expected battle prove alb
eral defeat it will most probably be
urged into q disastrous rout. On the
other hand, if Maximilan is defeated
his cavalry will suffice him for des-
perate attempt to cut his way to the
Rio Grande, where he will take refuge
in the United States.
The Herald's Southern correspondent
reports that in Georgia the military re-
construction law is generally discussed
on both sides. Although the majority
consider it onerous and unjust, they
think it ought to be acquiesed in as q
matter of necessity.
In Virginia the order dishanding mil
itary organizations has caused the dis
bandment of Hunnieut's cOlored guards,
at which Hunnicut and the negroes are
very much grieved.
Henry A. Wise has consented to stump
the State in opposition to Hunnicut.

The Flood in Tennessee.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-The Knoxville
special to the Times says: East Tennes-
see was damaged over two millions OF
dollars by the flood. Blount and Sc
vier counties lose heavily. In Blount
county large flock of sheep we're
drowned The loss Of stock of all kinds
is upprecedentedly heavy. All thefarm-
ers living on the rivers will be very
late with their crops. The loss of stock
will be great drawback. Parts of the
railroad bridges washed away have
been recovered. Trains are now run
ming to Chattanooga from this point.
Many lives were lost in Lower Tennes-
see, and many families were left home
less. Over one hundred carloads of
corn were destroyed at Chattanooga;
the depots were all submerged, and
much freight destroyed. The rivers
are still high, and more rain falling.
No mails have been received from the
northwest since the dth of March.

had been given in payment for bill OF
goods. The notes being protested, the
defendants offered payment in green,
backs, as being an equivalent OF gold
under the Legal Tender act. In behalf
of the plaintiff it was claimed that the
rate of bankers bills for sight drats, on
London, must be computed in the cur.
repcy in which the bill would be paid
for; that it should not be permitted to
prove the valne for gold, and tender the
equivalent in greenbackS; that "bank-
er's bills" like any other commodity,
must be presumed to be bought and
paid for in .slegal TENDER" and that it
required some six dollars and sixty
cents in legal tender to pay for every
pound sterling in the bankers bills,
and consequently, plaintiffs are enti-
tied to claim for the value for the
pound at that rate, and so the Court
decided.

papers; and paid $50, 900 for them
James Monroe, the sixth President of the
United States, died so poor that his re-
mains found resting place through the
charity of his friends. They remain in
the cemetery, but no monument marks

OF industry, prudence, and inheritance.
He was man Of method and economy.
Martin Van Buren, died rich Through
