VOLUME XV.—NO. 31. PITTSTON, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1865. WHOLE NO. 811. Franklin Fire Insurance Company, FENIANISM, ty we have alluded to: In the decade between 1841 and 1851 1,295,000 acres of land, previously waste, was brought into cultivation; in 1841 there were 481,278 wretohed mud cabins of one room on the Island; these had decreased in 1851 to 135,589, while the better tslass of houses increased in an almost corresponding proportion. In 1848 there were 2,043,545 paupers; in 1858 only 183,056. We might give the figures relating to exports and imports to manufactures, to schools and churches,but we have quoted sufficient to establish our asssertion as to annual improvement. While England remains a power among the nations of the earth, Ireland will continue to form an integral part of her dominion. Macaulay's New Zealandcr may at bis promised coming, find the Republic of Ireland in the full vigor of early manhood, but it is plainly not to be in our day. The real prosperity of Ireland is not to be found in antagonism with England, but in closer union with her; this has been abundantly proven in the case of Scotland. When this union is perfected her sons can realize what they hope for when they sing— " Yes, Ireland shall be free, From the centre to the sea !

CURT1SS "Until theireycs Were the hue of the dolphin when it dies:" But we think that for Quixotic thoughtlessness and utter disregard of possible or probable consequences, the proposed lib* eration of Ireland by the agency of the " Fenian Brotherhood," id entitled to the palm. The result aimed at and hoped for is no doubt glorious in prospect, but what is the probability of success ? Let us look into the matter and subject it to the test we would apply to any other transaction. iJattlcsarc, in tho majority of cases,in tho end,decided in favor of the battalions." The party having the greatest nuia* bcr of drilled and effective men wins the day. Tho hesitating incfficienoy of a Mo- Clellan may paralyzo " the finest army on this planet," or the genius of a Napoleon may partially compensate for tho weight of numbers, but those are exceptional cases, the extremes of imbecility and of genius, Itisalsotruo that the nation having the largest Exchccquer will, all other things being equal, triumph in the end over an adversary whose purse is lighter, though they may be equals in point of population. "The last guinea wins," said the magnificent Louis in his contest with William, of Orange, and the utterance truly predicted the result of years of wars. Franco was humbled, and the sileat Prince dictated tho terms of the treaty of Iiyswick. How stand tho parties to the contest which tho " Brotherhood" proposes to inaugurate? According to the ncwAmerican Cyclopaedia, Ireland had, in 1851, a population of 0,553,291; in 1858 this was reduced to 0,013,103, a reduction of 540,188 in seven years. Suppose we allow 213,103 as a probable reduction for tho next 7 years to 1805, and wo liavo left as the present gross population, 5,800,000 Of these one-fifth are protestants,and mostly of other than Irish parentage. Deducting these wo have but 4,040,000 persons of all ages and sexes who are even likely to be disaffected toward the present government."

He told them that his gun was at his brotherin-law's, and that they could go and get it. They said that he must go with them, and they made him run before them. They would try to run their horses on him.— They run him in this way until he was so tired that he could hardly walk, and then one of the men by the name of Bryant Smith struck him in the mouth with the breech of a gun, knocking several of his teeth loose, and bruising and cutting his face badly. In March, 1862 Revis made his escape through the mountains to Kentucky, leaving a wife and six little children to the mqroy of the rebels. Ho enlisted in Company II of the Fifth Tennessee Regiment Volunteer Infantry, and was promoted to Corporal. He belonged to the color-guard of the regiment, and was one of the three out of fivo of that guard that were killed at the battle of Resaca, Georgia, on tho 14th of May, 1804.

Loyal population of Ireland, Making a total of 23,026,000 against whom the "Brotherhood"—4,640,000 —proposo to pit, and, we ask the question of intelligent and thinking Irishmen, with what possible ehancc of bucccss. It must bo remembeVed, also, that the government has an organized army, that the red cross of England floats over every fortification and stronghold on tbo island, and that tho oaken ramparts of the first, nuval power in the world gird it round with a wall, of fire. Against this formidable array enthusiastic speakers at Cooper Institute, seconded by lesser lights at Phoenix Hall, gravely propose to dash the undrilled and um.rmed peasantry of Ireland. Sureely Don Quixote's tilt at the windmill was a sensible movement in comparison. Tho N. Y. Herald has much to say about the "great scare" of the English government, because of the precautions it has taken, but as wo look upon it, the measures taken are simply precautionary, nothing more; a few young men arc found to be drilling, tho polico force is increased,crazy enthusiasts in this country negotiate for ships, it is at once made known to tho English government, and the channel fleet changes its cruising grounds. It is very evident that all the fine spun theories of the English rating class, regarding secession, were not intended tor home use, but for exportation only. However fino a thing secession might be when it attempted to destroy this government, at "ome" it is not to be tolerated,and will not be. Like Qen, Burnside,they want no nonsense in their department. At the last great meeting of tbe Fenians, held at Chicago—we believe in January last—the speakers took especial pains to denounco the O'Donohuo and other friends of Ireland who ropresent her in the parliament of England, and who, by patient and persistent effort,have doirt: So much taward mitigating those odious laws the severity of which was a disgrace to tho Parliment that enacted them ; and the ground of this denunciation was that these men depended upon lawful measures to advance the cause of Ireland, and refused to sanotion any insurrectionary movement. To our -view the O'Donohue has much the best of tbe argument. O'Connel, the great advocate of Irish reform, often said " I will aeoept of no social amelioration at the cost of a ■ingle drop of blood." We cannot,however, expect that opinions, facts, or figures, will have the slightest effect -upon men who utter such nonsense as. forms the staple of the speeches made before the Brotherhood. They must have a tilt at the windmill, and nothing less than the consequent dismounting and bruises can teaeli them that it is poorly worth while to go a warfare at their own cost. The condition of the Irish people at home is annually growing better. At tho rUk of feciug .tedious wo venture to cite cvidettoC$jtf thi# from tho authpri- «i?rr, IMS NEW BAKERY.

The loyalists Were noarly all banded together in secret organizations called Home Guards. In some counties—those near the mountains —they were publio; but in the rebel oounties to have appeared openly would have been instant death to every one belonging to them. It was by this secret League that tho resolution was made and carried out to burn down those bridges over which the rebels had moved the greater part of their forces to Virginia. As soon as the bridges were burned down every Union man in Meigs oounty and all parts of East Tennessee who could not make his escape into Kentucky was arrested and charged with having done the destruction. Among the loyalists thus arrested was an old man by the name of Henry Norman, who was seized by a squad of soldiers serit from Calhoua. They went to Norman's house after night, and told him and his family that they had come to hang the -old Lincoloite. After abusing him and bis family for some time, they taken* him and two horses, and started for Calhoun. They went as far as John George's house that night; staid till morning; got some whiskey there, and traveled all day till they got to Moses Bower's place where they stopped at night. One of Bower's daughters made a little negro sing, and John M. Hawser—I'm sorry to say, Sir, that ho is a relative of mine—Hawser stood by, with a pistol pointed at old Mr. Norman's head, and made him dance.— After they started from Bower's they made the olcl man get on one of his own horses and take a rebel flag and ride along before them, pointing their pistols at him and threatening to shoot him if be murmoicd. They then made him get off the horse #nd walk before them; and they compelled him to run, and often tried to run their horses over him. They shot at him every little while with their pistols, " They got to Calhoun (Tennessee) late in the evening, and as they went into tho town they tpld the old man that they would hang him that day. Aftor dark they took him out above town to where there were some small trees and tied a rope around his neck.
