IRELAND.

Release of FenIan Prisoners De-
manded. .......
DUBLIN, Sept. 20.-John Martin has
gone on visit to the United States.
The Irishman to-day says that no terms
for ireland will be acceptable without the
release of the Fenians. 1t is the verdict OF
the Irish people that England must get
these men free or avow that her promise
of better government for ireland ia lie.
LONDON, Sept. 2O.--The demonstration
in favor of the imprisoned Fenians took
place to-day. The procession was formed
in Clrkenwell, and with bands of music
and bearing flags and notices, marched in
perfect order to Trafalgar square, where
the meeting was organized. Six thousand
persons were present. Geo. Henry Moore
member Of Parliament, presided.
Mr. Moore on taking the chair addressed
the meeting. He condemned the English
government for the prolonged incarceration
Of political offenders; contrasted its con-.
duct in this respect with that of other
States in Europe and America, and con-
cluded that England could only be COM
pared with Russia. He hoped the British
people would no longer tolerate such ex-
cessive severity, and demanded the liberation
of the prisoners as a matter OF justice. Mr.
Bradshaw and Others followed IN the same
strain Resolutions urging the unconditional
pardOn of Fenians were unanimously adopted.
The proceedings were very enthusiastic NO
disturbances whatever occurred.

ment, were found on the head of the body
and rope around his neck: Field was
dressed as when LIST seen.
The body was brought 10 Manistie, q
coroner's Jury was held, and verdict
rendered that the deceased came to his
death at the hands of George Wander
pool, his partner, Nanderpool was at

Visit to MurfreesbOrO.

There was a special train to Murfrees.
boro last Sunday for the accommodation Of
those who desired to attend preaching at
that place by members Of the Tennessee
Conference. Quite number of ladies and
gentlemen awaited themselves of the
opportunity thus offered for a pleasant trip
to our neighboring city, and had much
reason to be glad that they did so. The
train left the depot here at 81
o'clock A. NJ. and arrived at Murfrees.
bcro about 10 o'clock. Leaving the
train, the Nashville party bent their way
to the churches OF the place, whose pulpits
we've for the time occupied by members of
the conference, distinguished for their zeal
and eloquence in the work Of the Great
Master. In the afternoon our young
friends rambled through the streets of the
town, and also attended the delivery of a
Sunday School address by the
Summers. At the appointed hour in the
evening they were aboard the return train,
and soon reached home, with the gratify-
ing consciousness that the day had been
pleasantly and proftably spent.

what Tennessee Nee.Is.

We copy from the Chattanooga Enter
prise the following article, throwing out
some timely and sensible hints on the subs
ject Of manufactures; #G. t'
1t should be the leading idea Of every
man to induce our monied men to devote
4 part Of their capital 10 manufacturing
enterprises. There has never been more
favorable time in this State for the estab-
lishment of cotton mills than at present
Capital is not only made remuneratiVe to
an almost fabulous extent but the general
benefit derived from the manufacturing in
terests are felt on every hand, and In every
branch of business. Nothing will increase
our population more rapidly, or contribute
more to the wealth of our State. We are
anxious to see some attempts made 10 orr
ganize large manufacturing company IN
| this CITY. One such company would give
an impetus to other enterprises Of like
character. The cry Of onerous taxation
can be silenced by proper enactment OF
our Legislature, eXemptiDg from taxation
| for five years, all capital invested in ma
| chinery within the State. The Legfs-
| Iaiure hss heretofore been liberal in loans
10 our citizens, and why not act with the
II
same liberality toward the manufacturing
| interests of the Ssate2 We ask for no
bond, or anything that will embarrass the
State, but, on the contrary, something that
will, in few years, contribute largely to
the support Of the State, and which will
prove all clear gain. Such encouragement
| to manufacturers will awaken an interest
that is needed TO arouse the people, and
show the capitalist the proper channel for
his money. When the manufacturing IN
terest of New England was struggling for
existence they were granted large bounties,
and every means to favor or foster them
was supported. We do not ask this much.
We ask nothing more than Law exempt
ing all chartered manufacturing eomPa-
mics of all kinds, for FIVE or ten years, I'M
til their dividends are made remuneratys.
By holding out proper Inducements IN
Tennessee, capital from other Slater will
come, and the result TO the advantage oil
the State in every respect will prove IN
| valuable.

THE CITY.
A startling Theory.

The unsuccessful attempt of an incens
diary to burn the foundry of Messrs. Stew
art & Geiger, on College street, last Friday
night, and the successful destruction by an
incendiary ofAnderson & Romans foundry
Sunday night, have excited very general
and, as we conceive a very natural inquiry
among our citizens as to the cause of these
attempts to destroy the manufacturing e.
Adjustments of Nashville. These foundries
were not fred for the purpose of getting an
opportunity to steal and plumber, and we
understand there is no reason to suppose
that in either instance the Ere was set
through revengefal d or malicious
motives. What then was the
object sctuaiing the incendiary or in
cendiaries2 Almost with the suggestion
Of the question comes the answer that mis-
creantS are in our midst who are paid by
the owners of foundries elsewhere to set
FIRE TO certain establishments of that sort
in this locality. What reason can be cited
to -ustain this unwelcome theory? Let US
see. II is known abroad, as veil as at
home, that several important factory en-
terprises are about being commenced here,
most or all of the iron work of which
would most likely be given to our own
foundries. This is especially true in re.
gard to- the cotton factory, the build
ing of which is shortly to be
put under contract. OF late, the
building of steam engines and other
important iron works in the foundry line
has been done by the foundries here, thus
obviating the necessity of sending to Gin
cinnati or Chicago for such machinery.
But few orders for work of the kind men,
toned have lately been sent to the distant
city Of Pittsburg, as experience has abun-
dainty proved that it could be done at home
in better style and at less cost. The Nash
vile foundries have lately not only been
supplying much of the machinery for mill
and factories in Nashville and vicinity, but
also for those throughout Tennessee and
the greater portions of Georgia and Ala
bams. This last has brought our
foundries in formidable competition with
those Of other cities, and the instances of
incendiarism to which we have referred
point pretty strongly to the inference that
in order to remove this competition the
unprincipled owners of foundries else
where have employed emissaries to destroy
the iron foundries of Nashville. This is
an unpleasant solution Of the mystery, but
the circumstances we have named, as well
as others which are not yet made public,
give it, we regret to say, the appearance of
plausibility and truth. '.

A Startling Sermsn-A Spanish Paper
Talks War Cheap FreighIs Con
tInued.
New YORK, Sept. 2O.-A remarkable
sermon was preached by the Rector Of ST.
Adams Episcopal Church yesterday,
wherein the reverend gentleman affirmed
that the Episcopalian and Catholic belief
is positively alike, although the members
do not commune together, owing TO ina
trigues at the court of Rome at the time Of
the reformation. The preacher boldly asI
serted that the churches referred 10 are
lint one, and that the members are all
/ Roman Catholics, and be hoped to see
the day when both should be united under
the latter name and unite in communion.
The sermon created much sensation
among the hearers, many of whom were
Protestants from other denominations
whose belief he attacked, utterly denying
their faith as a religion based on Chris.
HChronista, the Spanish journal pub
lished here, says we cannot have Cuba.

war with Spain, as be demon
strates it, means speedy and utter
ruin to the United States. Spain
would blockade Philadelphis, New York

frgates, while flying division will des-
troy the arrivals at these ports along the
coast. The article concludes thus: care

learned was dreadfully scalded, having
both ewes hurt, is not expected to live, and
in ali probability, ere this reaches the

of the valley of the shadow" -Four of the
cars were wrecked, but We are reliably in.
formed that fifteen dollars will cover all
damages to freight. The explosion was
indeed terrible in all its festures. Pieces
