----. V. ... !. Tb* Fenian. Movement. j A New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says : If anybody has got it into h js head that the Fenis J movement doesn't mean anything in reality,.but as the London Herald say? <Jnly "blather," he may as' well be undeceived first as last, so far as tins country, er rather I should say this city, is concerned. As facts are better than speculations in such matters, I can gire you some evidence perfectly reliable which will enable the reader to judge for himself. Fact First. 'That negotiations are* pending for the purchase of eight ocean steamers, each warranted ~to carry one thousand men, with the certainty almost that the purchase will be made before the 1st of Octo? ber. Fact Second, That there Save been immense purchases of arms from the Government by parties who are sup? posed to be identified with the Fe? nians, within the past fortnight, and that propositions for further purchases are now under consideration. Fact Third. That one of the Bank Note Companies of this city are now engaged in engraving bonds for the new Irish Republic. It malters not who are their employers,.but I have no doubt the British Consul and his attaches know all about it. TE ir MINERAL WEALTH OP THE SOUTH.-Almost every day's develop? ments go to show that .one-half of the mineral wealth of the South has never been told. There is probably no country in the world richer in this respect. Br. E. H. Grant, tho State Geologist of Virginia, has recently been making explorations into its un? developed resources, and he reports that he has found 'mines of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tin, iron, | plumbago, raanganese, c?al, slate, potter's porcelain and fine clay, hy? draulic cement, fuller's earth, lime? stone, grindstone, whetstone, emery, marble, gypsum, salt, marl soapstone, sulphur, granite, etc., in various di? rections. A new era has dawned, and we ex pent ere long to see the South more populous and Vealthy under the new order of things, under the stimulus emigration and competition of free labor, of manufactures, and a general system of home industry than she hos ever been' or ever could have been under the old regime. The Poles are coming, the Scotch are coming, and the Germans, Swiss and French and other industrious ! peoples will come, and under the grand, universal awakening, the waste places of the South will blossom and bloom.in perennial vjrtue and beauty. The horrors of war will be forgotten, and time, the great healer, will make all things new.and. glorious. [louisville Journal. A LIVING-DEAD WOMAN AT a CAMP MEETING.-At the Williamantic (Con? necticut) camp meeting a lady has been observed among the con ant visitors for some years, who Hos in bed in the centre of the grove. Her name is Lizzie Smith. She hus been unable to move from her reclining position for the past thirty years. She is now forty-one years old. When she was eleven years old she was seized with a fever, and an over dose of ^calomel, administered to her, para rzed her, and left her in her present [elpless state. She has not grown my since, and is deformed. She has ^barely enough use of her 'hands and arms to feed herself with thc aid of a .long fork and spoon. She can only drink through a tube. The lady seems to be perfectly happy in spite of ^her disadvantages, and converses pleasantly with the crowds of visitors rho constantly nock around her. SALE DAT AND COUET WEEK. -These ?are names of the pE~t, ?nd there was [scarcely anything to remind us on "londay last of Sheriff sales or the )ctober Court. Juries had been ITO and were in attendance, but ^nothing was done in the way of hold? ing a Court. New juries were drawn and all proceedings adjourned over }until the regular-Spring term. Most lof our Judges we learn come within [the exceptions of the Amnesty pro [damation, and require a special edon. There was a very good at mdance of our citizens, and the Mili authorities seem te be quite busj ?rn approving contracts with freedmen |?nd settling various matters of differ |>uee in which they were concerned. [Abbeville Press, ht?? inst. The rumors of new loans by th? treasury have pretty well exhaustec fiemselves, which is not surprising the face of seventy-five million: [<ven hundred and fifty thonsanc allara in the sub-treasury at Nev fork,, with corresponding balances a Vher sub-treasuries.

LITERARY.-About the beginning of the war, Hon. Henry W. Hillliard, I\f. C., of Alabama, bad ready for the press a work to be entitled De Yane, which was ?aptured at Nashville upon the fall of that city. Mr. Hilliard, after great trouble, succeeded in find? ing the MSS., and during a recent visit to New York placed them in the hands of Messrs. Blelock ?Co., the well-known publishers, 19 Beekman street, who will issue the book early in October. It is said by judges who have examined the work to bo ono ol the most chaste and most fascinating novels presented to the American public for a long series of years. Mr. P. T. Barnum has written s letter to the Round Table defending himself from its criticisms, and th< paper renews its attack by cabling th? showman the representative of a clasi which is "a cross between the tra di tiona! stage Yankee, a cafitinf moralidt, and a practiced sharper." Tho Faeific Railroad is completed and St. Louis and Kansas City ari now united in bonds of iron. Collectors of Customs appointed for ' the Southern ports hove filed- their bonds and entered upon the discharge of their duties, tasting to Congress to legislate for? their payment. Very few of tiie appointees, however, have .taken the oath of allegiance, except that portion which declares that they will bear true and faithful loyalty hereafter to the Government. [ Washington Star. WEATHER AT THE NOBTH.-The weather at Philadelphia has been re? markably cool for the season. Snow fell for half an hour on the evening : of the 4th instan t? in the Northern I section of the city. . Governor Marvin, of Florida, has issued a proclamation, ordering an election for a. State Convention, on the 3d of October. Baltimore has expended $9,000,000 o? her. Druid Hill Park. Property in the vicinity of the park has increased ' in value one hundred per cent, in nine years. . It has been suggested, after due consideration, that a convention of the planters of Alabama be called to meet*in Montgomery on the third Monday in November. The Savannah papers complain bitterly of the rapacity of juvenile cotton stealers, who- diminish the bales by from five to fifty pounds, according as opportunity offers. From the census returns already in, it is estimated that the population of Illinois is over 2,500,000.
