This is an association of Irishmen bound together by a simple pledge, ac? cording to thoir owii account, to labor for the independence of Ireland. One branch is in the Green Isle, where, so far, they have by a peculiar system ot organization, succeeded in eluding all attempts of the British Governments to entrap anti punish them. Another, and large branch, is in this countrv, and, and after a growth of haifa dozen years, claims to number Its adherents hy hundreds of thousands. It con. sists, in-the first instance, of neighbor? hood 'Circles,' containing not less than sixty member?, who elect a council called a 'Centre,' which is the organ of communication with the higher bodies. All these Circles int? State recommend a person who, if approved, is made Centre for the Slate. The various State Centres, together with one delegate from c,acb?Cirole, contain? ing two hundred members, meet, and elect one parson, who is Head Centre of the whole Order, and. who is fist? ed by a Central Council of Ten, nomi? nated by himself. The body which ?dec?s him is the Annual Congress of the Brotherhood. k Thus it will be seen that the organization is a very complete one, embracing-a regular system of detail? ed periodical reports from the lowes?, up to the highest. The funds are derived fr*ro an initiation fee of one dollar, and a monthly due of not less tittil ten cents, though much larger sums than these are often paid. The name is said to be derived from ? the word Phenician, the race which is said to have first eol?nized Ireland, and stands as a representative of the mosl prosperous period of Erin's history The chief committee of the Congress is upon Military A^Tiirs, the next on Foreign Affairs, another'on Ways and Mearffl^nd a fourth on Government and B^Paws. Many persons regard the Brother hood as a Roman Catholic association But this is a great mistake. Notonh is the Roma.i Church nut in Ieagin with the Fenians, but many of it prelates are in direct opposition t< them, as constituting an Via'.h-bounc secret society,' s-tich as the Vatican ha often denounced. The article in th Herald, from which we have drawi most of the foregoing facts, labors b show that the Feniaps are*not liable t the Papal anathemas, directed again? Carbonari, Freemasons, etc. Bu whether this.be so or not, it is certai that several bishops in this countr have set themselves in determined ar tagonisin to the Order. Nor do w think it probable that they will fc mollified or changed by any explan; lions which are likely to be mad Rome favors no secret society wine Ehe cannot control, and soldiers arc m in general accustomed to submit l the rule of priests. And perhaps tl best course for outsiders like ourselv is just to leave these two interestir parlies to themselves, and let the fiijht it out lo their hearts' conter Otherwise no one could without son concern, see s. large body of nv organizeland train themselves all'ov thex-ountry, for the accomplishment a design which involves the dismei berment of an empire at peace wi ns. Such a qtiAs/i-military establis ment, has an ugly look by the side our neutrality laws. And yet so l? a.j. no overt act. is committed, it wot be difficult to find any ground for t interference of thc authorities. [ Christian Intelligencer. ? There is a sort, of "World's Fair, or exhibition of national art and industry, now in pr?gresR in Dublin, Irelnnd. Tn the correspondence of the New York Herald, we are told that rf;e United States is very meagrely repre? sent^.' Some sewing machines <f Wheeler <fc Wilson's, Singer and some one else's patent tire on exhibition; and a live7'Yankee of the name of \V. H. Wood, of New York, is on "hand with a variety of bis own inventions, from hair pomade to a machine for making bullets, and from bis system of night, fog and day ?signals to trunk bandies and American railway cars, turn-tables,' ventilators, sell-acting brakes and a religious essay of his own invention, lie exhibits a funny and incongruous collection, to be sure; but it shows his originality and the uni? versality of the progressive Yankee. His day, night and fog signals are really of ^reat value, and they have been adopted by the Admiralty, and are in use on six hundred British vessels of war. I thin'* lie will carry off his share of prize.. The sewing machines attract a good deal ?f atten? tion, they being the only thing of the kind on exhibition. A WHISKEY WAREHOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.- \ Springfield, III., despatch of the lOtb, lo the St. Louis Democrat, says: The bonded warehouse nt James? town, on the Sangatnon Uiver, con? taining ,'3.500 barrels of whiskey, be? longing to-P, L. Howlett, was struck Jby lightning, and the building and entire contents were consumed. The whiskey ran down the hill side and into the river, one sheet o! ll.une ryore than a mile ir* length. The Richmond Whig says that in six counties through which its infor? mant passed, there were but nine negroes at work in the fields, but the county Court House and villages are fuilo! them. The negroes are said to be deserting their wives, who, with their children, are left a burden upon the l'armera. The cotton crop is small, but good. Oats are rank and going to wreck. Wheat is a good crop.
