STATE OF TIPPERARY.  Accounts have reached town to•day which represent tiro northern parts of the county of Tipperary to be in a state bordering, on actual insurrection. The town o Nenagh has the appearance of a place preparing for a siege, the streets being crowded with troops despatched thither from the garrison of Limerick, comprising a troop of the 17th Lancers, and two companies of the 20th Foot, and two or three pieces of ordnance were expected to arrive there in the course of Friday evening. The orders of the military are to scour the disturbed districts day and night in bodies of twenty-five and thirty, and to be in constant readiness for active duty at five minutes' warning. In the meantime the work of bloodshed and outrage progresses with fearful rapidity. Two more murders were com• mitted in the broad daylight yesterday on the lands of Curraghmore, in the parish of Kilbarron. The names of these unhappy victims to Ribbonism were Tierney and Glecson. Major-General Sir Parker Carroll, the commanding-officer of the district, has been served with a Rockite notice, warning him to be prepared for the fate which momentarily impends over him, in consequence of ejecting a woman from some land, the same being in direct contravention of the Ribbon Code. The list of outrages, in the shape of similar notices, together with assaults on the person, &c., would occupy too mach of your space. I shall, therefore, merely abridge some of the particulars elicited at the inquest on the body of the wretched Hayes. This barbarous deed was committed within about six miles of Nenagh, on the borders of the mighty Shannon, and in one of the wildest districts of Ireland. Contiguous to the house of the unhappy man are half-a-dozen lonely dwellings, which are chiefly occupied by fishermen, and are situated between mountains, which command a picturesque view of that magnificent river. There is no direct passage to the place, and the Coroner and his party were obliged, after leaving the high road, to traverse for upwards of a mile an almost inaccessible tract of country ere they reached the fatal spot. The first witness examined was Bridget Hayes (widow of deceased). Her husband was a carpenter. He was employed on the sth inst. in repairing a boat for the Rev. Dean Holmes. He left off work between the hours of seven and eight o'clock on that evening. When he came home he ate his supper, took a smoke, and said his prayers. After that he went to the door, and saw a man pass by. Witness asked him who the man was, and be replied that he did not know. He then went to the fire and kindled his pipe, and remained standing on the floor till the strange man (whose name witness did not know) came in. The man was armed with a two-handed wattle. He came over to the fire and lit his pipe. He did not sit down ; he stood at the fire. Deceased desired the strange man to sit down ;he said he would not. During this time the stick remained on the ground. The deceased then said, " Perhaps you're a man that wants to cross the Shannon ?" to which he replied, that be did not. Deceased then asked him to remain for the night, and desired witness to put down his supper. The man said he had already eaten it. Deceased got up, and walked towards the dresser. Witness observed a change come over his countenance, as if he were afraid. Witness kept her eye on deceased. Did not look round until she heard a blow and saw him fall. Witness then ran between the man and deceased, lest he might strike him again. The man caught her by the head, tore her cap and handkerchief, and dragged her out into the yard :he then said, "Go in now, or give you the same treatment I gave him ; give up the land now." He afterwards went off in an opposite direction to that in which he came. This happened about nine o'clock in the evening. When witness went into the house she found deceased lying on his back. He was kicking and struggling dreadfully at the time. He spoke in a faltering tone. Witness, assisted by a man named Martin Darmody, put the deceased on a bed. All he said was, that he wished to be taken to his brother. He died about one o'clock on the following day. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."—Tinzes.
