Captain Mackey, captured at Cork
for planning the recent attack on the
MartelIo Tower at Duncannon, was
brought up at London for examination
on the 9Th instant. The evidence
seemed conclusive, and he was fully
committed for trial. Mackey is dascrib-
ed as being very young man, having
barely completed his 2lst year. Several
of the rioters who attempted TO rescue
Mackey from the custody of the police
were arrested aud committed. 1t seems
that in the melee two of the policemen
were shot and dangerously wounded.
On the 9Th sqnad of policemen,
who were patroling the city, were con-
fronted by crowd of men in the street,
who commenced an attack with clubs
and stones. The policemen, being out
numbered, fell back on the nearest
station. They were chased some dis
lance by the mob, several OF whom,
during the fight of the police. fired
upon them with pistols and other fire.
arms. None were hurt. As soon as
the neighborhood of the station was
reached the pursuit ceased, and when
the police, reinforced, sailed out, the
crowd had dispersed. As the night was
dark, none of the attacking party
could be distinctly seen or recognized,
and, though officials are actively search
ing for the suspected ringleaders, they
have not yet been able to effect any
arrests.
The police have succeeded in arrest
ing many persons suspected of having
taken part IN the riotous attempt to
rescue Captain Mackey. 1t is reported
that among the number arrested are
two men VINO have been identified as
the men who shot the two policemen on
| that occasion, but as no examination
has yet taken place, nothing definite is
known as to the charge or evidence
against them. Some persons are also
arrested on suspicion of having been
concerned in The assault on the police
last night. The recent bold disturb
anees of the peace have caused the Gov
eminent officials here to redouble their
vigilance.
The Grand Jury to whom the cases
of the accused Fenians now in prison
In Cork. are to be presented, assem-
hled to-day at the Court House. Lord
! FITZGERALD, Chief Justice of the Court
of Appeals, delivered the charge to the
jury, in which he deplored in strong
language the outrages which had been
perpetrated and the agitation and law
less spirit now prevailing In England.
The Grand Jury then withdrew to their
chamber and commenced their labors,

him. he essayed TO employ the time
in conversation, but his companion was
reticent. That was of
little concern TO him, and he was salts
fed with a nod, or an ejaculation OF
approval of the many pleasant things
said by him.
The court room reached, the case
came on for examination. During its
progress the officer was busy in thought
il not in action. The case, from all its
concomitants, was singular, let it ter
inmate as it might. He felt the impor
lance of his connection with it. But
as the facts developed themselves, and
as the startling truth was exhumed
that the prisoner had not only COM
mitted the theft in question, but that
doubtless, this species of crime was
her daily vocation, the officer saw
through the renown which the case
would acquire, the CLEAN of that fame
which would accrue 10 him for having
made the fortunate arrest. After the
prosecutor bad given his narrative of
the facts but one thing remained TO
conclude the case, and complete the
uroof of guilt, and that was the simple

| as the party in question. The uagis-
trate kindly desired the lady to remove
her veil. She did not respond with
nlacrity. The officer, attentive as he
was to every feature of the case, was
prompt to aid in the denouement
that was to complete the play. BE
stepped quickly forward, and, with the
Lingering sense Of gallsntry that his
prisoners guilt had not wholly blotted
ont. he compsssionately desired her to
comply with the magisteriai mandate,
and gently proffered to do it himself by
removing her vel. That done, and the
face of the prisoner laid bare to public
gaze. the officer recoiled back from its
presence, livid and speechless with
surprise aud chagrim. There was 8
calm expression of ease, mingled with
a conviction of triumph, In that face,
quite as well defined as Nature in It's
choice of color had given it ability Il

During the winter of 1866 the pro-
visions of the garrison were exhausted
and the troops subsisted on boiled corn
snd buffalo meat. AT times corn alone
was all they had to eat. The scu~vy,
caused by lack of proper food, broke
out among the troops, and many died
from its effects. To add to the distress
of the garrison, they were kept In a
state of constant alarm by hostile In
dians, VINO attacked almost every party
that ventured outside OF the stockade.
at night the troops stood hours at q
time IN the cold, at the loopholes, to
resist the threatened attacks of the
savages. All communication with the
post was cut of, and after the Phil.
Kearney massacre it was thought that
the garrison had been destroyed.
Two soldiers volunteered to go from
Fort Kearney and learn the fate of the
garrison at Fort Smith. After consid-
cradle herdships they reached the Fort
in safety, and started on their return,
accompanied by Michael BouyeF, a
half-breed Sioux, who was employed as
guide at Fort Smith. They suffered
severely from cold, froze their feet and
hands, were chased into the mountains
by Indians, who took from them ali
their horses and provisions. In making
their escape from the Indians they be-
came separated, but succeeded IN
reaching Fort Kearuey, one at time,
more dead than alive. The experience,
self-possession and daring of Bouyer
saved the party from death. They
brought to the anxiors friends at
Kesrny the glad tidings that all was

ran TO his post of duty-the driver TO
his engine and the boy to the mouth
of the shaft, where the heavy iron tub,

to fetch the water up from the pit lay
ON the truck waiting to be lowered

EXCURSION TO ST. CoLUMBIA's CHURCH.
The excursion to St. Columbia's Church,
Pleasant Valley, yesterday, was one OF the
finest aud most agreeable trips ever taken
from this city. The church at Pleasant
Valley is under the charge of Father Mel
Ian, formerly of St. Patrick's of this city.
who, during his brief pastorate here, won
all hearts to him by his many Christian
virtues and kind and considerate manners.
While here he established temperance
society, which will long remain monu-
ment to his zeal in all that benefits his fel-
low men. To visit him about three hum
dred members of St. Patrick's congregation
left this city on the G. G. & l. c. railroad.
Arrived at the Valley, the Rev. Father
preached splendid sermon, and returned
thanks for the kindness he had received at
the hands of the ladies and gentlemen of
st. Patrick's. He has charge of the congre-
cations at Milford Centre, Pleasant Valley
and at several other stations. The train
returned about o'clock bearing to their
homes happy party, who felt glad over
their visit to the good Father Mellan and
the beautiful town of Pleasant Valley.

the preservation of peaceful relations be-
tween the United States and England was
concerned, but the high and deserved rep
utation achieved by his illustrious prede-
cessor, Mr.. Adams, had made difficult the
task OF succeeding him with equal accept
ability. The highest aim of his mission
would be to do as well. The speaker re-
peated what he said yesterday, that rtip-
ture of the friendly relation now existing
between the United States and Great
Britain would be Impossible on account of
the identity of race, language aud aspira-
tions. The character of Queen Victoria
forbade the possibility of such rupture.
MT. johnson refuted the assertion of Mr..
koeDuck, one of the representatives in the

tion was English and they did not yitiate

them. sss11I'I +
The Times has an editorial on the sub.
iect of Johnson's recent speeches at Shelf

clarations regarding the heterOgeneeusuess
OF the American people, and think that the

English unit as the people of gland, where
the Irish, Scotch, French and Germans make
