disrespectful language against the President of 1 
the United States in “The Recoustructionist,” 1 
a paper which she edits. This is the second dis¬ 
missal from that office for hostility to the Gov¬

The N. Y. Tribune says that Mr. J. 0. Derby, i 
United States agent for the Paris Exposition, 
has been In attendance on Congress for several 
days to explain to members the necessity for l 
prompt action, if an appropriation is to be made, t 
as the utmost limit of time for application for a

Gov. Banks, the Chairmen of the Committee on a 
Foreign Relations in each House, having the a

hie action, More than 1,200 articles from all the c

r states that .Jeff. Davis pretended to he surprised 
) that the National vessels in the harbor, in their 
National salute on Washington’s birthday, fired 
a gun for each of the States, including the lately 
rebellious ones. The cx-rebcl chieftain’s health 
continues good, and at times he converses freely 
and in an entertaining manner on all kinds of 
, subjects. The surveillance of vessels arriving in 
Hampton Roads is still continued to prevent 
any chance for Jeff’s release by his friends.

The Fenians. 
The “signs of th e time s’’ wonld seem to 
indicate that the poliFical waters somewhere 
are soon to be disturbed by a storm of great 
magnitude. Where that tornado will first burst 
forth, whether In Europe or In North America, 
we presume none but the leaders of the “ Broth¬ 
erhood ” can readily divine. That • there is 
great excitement jnst now among the Fenians, 
none will deny who reads the following “offi¬

A dispatch from New York of March 2, says 
the news of the {suspension of the Habeas Cor¬ 
pus act, and the arrest of one hundred more 
FenianB, in Ireland, created considerable anxiety 
at Union Square Headquarters yesterday. A 
meeting of the Council was at once held, and 
important measures taken. It is asserted that 
the Emperor of France is prepared to recognize 
Irclund as a belligerent power the moment she 
asserts her right to such an act. The Irish Peo¬ 
ple, the organ of the Brotherhood, issued an 
extra giving ail the latest news received at Union 
Square, it i 6 stated that muny leading Fenians 
have arrived in this city, including Gen. Swee¬ 
ney, who will take counsel with each other as 
to what ia best to l>e done in the present critical 
position of affairs. There were secret meetings 
of all the Circles last evening. 
The Herald says it is now generally believed 
by the Brotherhood of that city that their friends 
in Ireland are already fighting, and bitter are. the 
denunciations of the Senate by the adherents of 
O’Mahony nnd Stevens, In fact, the feeling 
against them now runs so high that it is feared 
that should it be established beyond a doubt, on 
the arrival of the next mail, that the Fenians 
are fighting in Ireland, extremes will be gone 
to here, and acta of violence committed. 
Immense meetings of Fenians were held in 
New York, Philadelphia, Boston aud other large 
cities,[on the 3d inst. The telegraph states that 
the number which attended the meeting in New 
York was one hnndred thousand. O’Mahony 
telegraphs to the “Brotherhood” that there is 
a fair prospect that the Irish Republic will be 
recognized by the United States as well as France. 
Remnants of the rebel ram Merrimack, now 
at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, are to be made 
Into a set of furniture for the office of the Sec¬ 
retary oi tiie Navy at Washington. 
It is reported in New York that several pieces 
of heavy artillery have recently been purchased 
in that city for General Sweeney, the Fenian 
Secretary of War. 
The new factory of Colt’s Pistol Works at 
Hartford, will be a much larger and handsomer 
building than the one which was burned, and 
will cost about * 200 , 000 . 
Lady Palmerston, like a sensible woman, 
refuses a peerage for her son. She desires no 
change in her position, and is content with 
the distinction of being Lord Palmerston’s 
widow. 
A Miss Btebbins of Chickasaw county, Iowa, 
has received an appointment aa Notary Public 
for that county. She is the first female ever 
having received such a commission, and is rep¬ 
resented as eminently competent, 
A Chinese newspaper is soon to be issued in 
London, under the title of the “Flying Dragon.”

From Canada.—T he N. Y. Herald of March 1 , 
I contains a dispatch from Toronto which says 
“the Fenian alarm is continued, and bank rob¬ 
beries arc frequent. The latest instance reported 
is an attack on the banks of Lennoxville by a 
party of twenty-five men. In connection with 
the attempted robbery of the Gore Bank some 
lime since, startling circumstances hove been 
brought to light. Two ex-Aldermen of Toronto, 
a Sergeant - Major of Police nnd a Patrol- 
Sergeant, are asserted to have aided and 
abetted the notorious Bristol Bill in the com¬ 
mission of crime, together with Dr. Gnstaff, the 
alleged prisoner recently extradited from this 
city, g Some of these persons are in custody, 
while others have fled from the country. The 
Governors of the British Provinces are holding 
a council in Montreal. Defences against the Fe¬ 
nians and action on the Confederation question,

tion has adopted the new article to the Constitu¬

s the Sioux tribe, had a conference at Laramie, 
Dakota, on the 20th of February. Preliminaries 
t of a peace were arranged. The Grand Council

One of the reasons for the serious division in 
the Fenian ranks, is said to be a distrust ol Ste¬ 
phens, the Irish Head Centre—an O’Mahoney 
man —who is almost universally regarded as 
nothing more than a tool and spy of the British 
Government, 
Several leading Fenians of Buffalo have

The small pox, according to the Buffalo Daily

From Panama.— Several miners from Califor¬ 
nia have recently arrived at Panama en route to 
prospect the gold mines at Choeo and Barbacoas. 
A rich gold region is reported just discovered 
about eighteen miles from Panama and two miles 
from the railroad. California miners pronounce 
the developments exceedingly rich. 
A San Francisco paper says a man who used 
to he an honest but unsuccessful miner in 
California, after living in the mountains for 
several years, shouldered his knapsack and 
struck out for Idaho. He arrived there last 
spring and took up a quarter claim. A few 
days ago he sold the claim for *800,000 in gold.

over two year* in experimenting, ami In April |*»t ob- 
tatnrd a patent for further Improvements, which he be-

is of white Ash, Hu- spring fur raising da»hor la of the 
best quality of steel, spring temper, and e very part is 
warranted to he of the best quality, and ui*dc m a most 
thorough and workmanlike manner. 
There can be no tmcs-tion hut ihl» Churn will soon be 
in nse by all Good Butter Maker* throughvat the United 
dready well understood and universally 
acknowledged that the old Da-her Churn for making 
Good Butler has never been equaled by anyothcr Churn 
ever Invented, bnt the difficulties heretofore existing In 
the Dash Churn have prevented many Horn using them. 
WV ciuliu to hov*' obvictlc'-i uU thtO.'ijjtcuUnix 1 By latiAns 
or the upper adjustable Dasher, we are. able to use. a 
short lever purchase to operate Uiq Dashers to which 's 
attached u spiral spring to lift- the lever. The construc¬ 
tion of this Churn is ample, rear.-,irent, eneilg cleaned 
curtly operated and durable! And it Is so arranged as to 
clinrn from ow* to vwicntt (.jlu'ns. a otiiid to years 
old can churn from lour to five gallons with t-asc; one 
man cau easily churn twenty gallons. 
By nietkLs of the Arijoslable ltaFher we arc enabled to 
vary the quantity of errani or milk from one to twenty 
gallons with the sweep of the lever, while In the single 
DASH cnt RVB the lever haa to be raised higher, as the 
quantity oj cream Is increased, in order to bring the 
Dasher out at the ton, whjcb is very essential both to 
quick churning and also to produce

and for doing thU.wc Claim that we have the eheojir.it and 
bent arrangement ever invented, as we are able to stow 
by a (Uam Churn, (see cut) made for the purpose; n r- 
not generallv understood, hut His neverthetes* true.thw 
Butter in all Cases Is brought on the surface where the 
air mixes with the cream. Title Clinrp is so arranged 
that by the peculiar shape or the upper Dasher with 
every stroke of tb< lever sir i» r.*i ,,f
