marched in the funeral procession, have
been placed under arrest, and are to lie
tried by court martial
Dispatches from all parts of Ireland give
accounts of exhibitions of popular sympa-

number OF the principal towns there have
been funeral professions, in which large
multitudes., wearing national emblems,
participated.

daring attempt was made here to-day
to release the recently arrested Fenian, Col
mel Burke, who is confined in CIerkenwell
prison. Powder was placed beneath one of
the prison walls, and was exploded, it is
supposed by Col Burke's confederates.
The whole side of the wall was blown into
the ali, three adjoining buildings was also
destroyed, and many persons injured, and
it is feared that some lives were lost.
Much confusion prevails in the vicinity,

London, Dec 13-9P. NJ.
The explosision at Clerkenwell prison
had very serious results, but was not sue
cessful in facilitating the rescue of the Fen
ian Burke. The prisoner was confined in the
inner cell, and could not escape by breach
in the wall. He has been removed to a
place of greater security. The explosion
was tremendous in its effects The prison
wall and ncighbori6g buildings are a mass
of ruins. Some lives must have been lost.

ty persons have been killed, and that some
bodies are buried in the 1uins 1t seems
that during the morning repairs had been
commenced on the wall. Latter in the day
some unknown men were seen to roll a bar.

under place where repairs were been made.
Shortly after this the explosion took place.
Two men and a woman who were found in
the vicinity have been arrested on suspicion
of being connected with the preparation of
the outrage. The excitement there is so
great that it is impossible as yet to obtain
any correct account of the casualties.

SENSIBLE. United States Senate
has expunged the word Honorable from
its journal, and hereafter the members are
to addressed as plain "Mr." The New

defensible use of titles is to assist in deter.
mining a mans identity. Governor, gen.

man who prides himself on his respectable
position in private society, look over the
long list of "honorables'' which adorn the

affecting incident took place on Monday
last in the intermediate department of the
First Ward School, it being the presenta-

WATCHMAN WHAT OF THE NIGHT
How long have the people of Manitowoc
county to wait for daylight? Not'certain-
ly until they are placed in a more direct
communication and brought into closer
connection with the people inhabiting civ
ilized communities by means of railroad
to Menasha.
We sit here and look upon the forest of
masts rising above the ice in our harbor,
and are chilled at the thought that we can
have no further intercourse with the bury
world OF commerce until Spring shall again
unlock the paddle wheels and give wings to
our feet
There is no good reason in Gods world
why this should be so, and how long will
our people who possess the power to pra-
vent, tolerate this stupid state Of things :?

MORE STEAMBOATS,. To meet the rap
idly increasing demands of the frcighting
business on our lake, one or more steam
boats are to he built here the coming sea-
son and placed on the GooDRICH Line. We
understand that Capt 6 S. RAND is con
tracing for timber for these boats, to be
delivered in his ship-yard this winter.
Some Is already on the ground and being
worked When our railroad is completed
to Menasha, through our extensive groves
OF magnificent oaks, timber for ship build
ing can be furnished here for one-half its
present cost, and at the same time the de-
mand for vessel touage at our port will be
at once increased ten fold over what it is at
the present time. This forty miles of road
will unlock millions of treasure, and will
ever be one of the most commanding and
important roads in tie State.

THE SEA BIRD.-This staunoh steamer
of the Goodrich Line came into our har-
Dor on the 18th inst, and is laid up for
the winter. This is one of the fayorite
boats of a favorite line, and in the hands of
Capt. GREEN RAND, will be put in ''applc
pie order, and come out in the Spring as
good as new. La her last trip between
Chicago and Green Bay, she encountered
severe weather, and was compelled to
throw overheard some valuable cargo, but
came through without Serious damage to
herself.
The Goodrich Line has proved "suc-

Through dreary days and darker nights;
To trace the march of death;
To hear the faint and frequent sigh,
The quick and shortened breath
To watch the last dread strife draw near,
A nd pray that struggle brief;
Though all be ended with the close
This is q parents grief.
To see in one short hour decayed,
The hope of future years
To feel how vain a fathers prayers,
How vain mothers tear;
To think the cold grave now must close
O'er what was once the chief
OF all the treasured joys of earth
This is parents grief

A New STAGE LINE-We are inform ed
that some enterprising citizens Of Menasha
contemplate establishing a line of daily
stages between that place and Manitowoc.
This will be very important enterprise to
our people as well as a paying one to the
proprletors. Passengers could leave here
in the morning by this line and reach Me-
nasha, 45 miles, in eight hours, or in time
to take the afternoon train for Chicago or
Milwaukee, and returning, arriving in Me
nasha On the night train, couli reach here
the next afternoon.
This would be the quickest route by
which to receive our mails and express
matter, and there being not less than 3O,-
900 people in this section interested in hav
ing such line established, there can be 10
doubt it would receive such amount of
patronage as to render it perfect sue

HE EXPRESS COMPANIES. We would
cali the attention Of our readers to the fact
that the Merchants Union Express Com
pany has an office here, and deserves the
patronage Of our citizens in preference to
any other company, for the very good and
sufficient reasons that it conducts its bust
ness with the utmost promptness and dis
patch, and on liberal terms: its charges are
fifty per cent below those of the American
company.
Don't forget that p. JOHNSON is the eff
icient agent of the Merchants Union. Or

imposed upon.

I'VE Told You So. -

Before the election this Fall we caution
ed the judges of the election throughout
the county to beware how they acted to-
wards those men designated as 'deserters'
by the Madison junto, issued in 'blne
book" by that rotten concern, and caution
ed those judges to refuse no man s vote on
that account. We knew we were right
then and are sanctioned in our opinion by
Hon. DAVID TAYLOR, Judge of this Cir
cult, in a case recently tried before him in
Sheboygan county, the particulars of
which we CLEAN from the Sheboygan Falls
Record.
cat the November term of the Circuit
Court, Sheboygan County, citizen OF this
county was indicted for swearing in his
vote at the general election after being
challenged, on the ground of desertion
The District Attorney put off the trial until
the term just closed, that he might avail
himself of said List as evidence, for the
law creating it made such, h,-the prisoners
name appearing therein as a non-reporting
drafting man, or deserter after draft,
which of the two does not clearly appear.
Upon the trial, J. f. Thomas, counsel for
the prisoner, objected to the introduction
of the List" as evidence, as incompetent,
and reserved the point of unconstitutionali-
ty, &C., for argument. After thorough
sitting Of the contents of said pamphlet by
the counsel for the prisoner, Judge Taylor
decided that the List was not in accordance
with the intention of the law instructing
the Secretary of State to procure it, and
instructed the jury to render verdict of
not guilty, the District Attorney having re-
lied mainly upon the pamphlet for proof to
sustain the Indictment"

The HcralTs Washington special says
the case of Secretary Stanton will be taken
up tomorrow by the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs. His restoration to the
Office of Secretary Of War is now past all
likelihood. A majority Of the radical
members were determined on his reinstate-
ment, until the appearance OF the impeach.
ment testimony but finding he expressed
himself there as believing the President
had been faithfully performing his duty ia
the establishment of the Provisional Gov-
|ernment in the South, together with ad-
mitting in many places that he acted in ac-
|cordance with the President, while leaving
Congress under the impression that he op-
posed him at every step, his former frierds
in the radical party have lost all interest in
his case, and feel indifferent whether he -
consigned to oblivion or not.

GRAPE CULTURE IN AMERICA. Accord
ing to a recent article in the New York
Worlds, the total grape vine product of
the United States for tic year 1867, cannot
be less than 5000, 900, gallons. California
alone produced 100000 gallons chiefly,
Of the white hook variety. The Ohio Val
ley produced 500, 900 gallons. and New
York state nearly 100, 900 gallons. The
cultivation of grapes for wine making pur-
pose is rapidly increasing in all these To-
calities and spreading to others. As an
illustration of this, it is estimated that the
area Of vineyards in California 900
acres-will be increased to $4,000 next
year. California exports largely to the
West Indies and toJapan. Ofcoulse, with
the constant experimenting that is going
on, the sort of grape best adapted to the
various localities, together with the best
methods of manufacture, will become
known, and America will soon be producing
better wine then the best European yins-
ages. as she does already much better
drink than the compounds that are csacoct-
cd in New York and elsewhere, and sold
as pure European wines.

Our PEOPLES LOSSES. The people of
our county are annually subjected to thou
sands upon thousands of dollars losses for
the want of railroad communications with
the great marts of commerce. IF our mer-
chants could order daily through the year
goods to supply the demands of their custo-
NETS they would require less capital in
their business than when they are comrell-
ed to buy in heavy stocks and take upon
themselves the risks of Cutting the home
market, or Of having prices fall upon goods
on hand, and the purchasers or consumers
would escape the payment of the large
sums charged them upon their purchases
on account of these risks taken by the
merchants. Again, if we had the proper
and needed railroad facilities many of our
men Of integrity and enterprise possessing
but little moned capital could enter into
business and conduct it successfully who
now have to stand one side aud allow capt.
al to ule the business and keep down that
healthy competition so beneficial to the
masses. When we have railroad, intelli-
gent labor and enterprise linked with in
tegrlty will have an opportunity to reap
their just rewards in the general prosperity
of our citizens.
