Thsfepenian Brotherhood.
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.

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?

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.
