der at stake, &e.
Washington, March 13, 1866.
It is evident that the republican members,
as distinguished from the radical faction in
congress, are becoming more and more averse
to a rupture with the President. They are
disposed to strike out some new line of action
whereby they will avoid collision with the
President, retain the offices, and afford time
for the consideration by the people of the pol
icy proposed by the President in regard to res
toration. Some of the members propose that
congress shall close the session after admitting
Tennessee and Arkansas, in deference to the
President’s wishes and opinions. They make
this concession to him, and he, in turn, isnot to
use the power of Executive patronage against
them as a party—that is to say, not against
the republican party proper. This scheme
leaves the radicals out in the cold. The Ex
ecutive axe will be free to fall upon them
wherever they may be found in office.
This plan involves a separation of the radi
cal ianatics from the Union republicans. The
small democratic element of the present con
gress will not favor this arrangement, for it
would destroy their hopes of an immediate
rupture and collision. But there is a majority
in both houses of members who may come in
to this arrangement, and it is not certain that
the President will not approve of it; for he has
positively assured a leading conservative sen
ator that he will not make any removals at
present. Besides this, it is understood by
some influential republican members of the
house that the President is not disposed to
enter upon any course of proscription. This
is understood in Pennsylvania, where, as dem
ocratic politicians inform me, the democracy
are heart and soul with Johnson in his fight
against the radicals, and all they require is
that the President should remove any office
holders under him who fail to sustain him
against the Stevens and Sumner revolutionists.

THE FENIANS.
A Thrilling Incident.
A contributor to the Atlanta Intelligencer
concludes his “Reminiscences ofthe War,. No.
2,” with the following incident of the battle
of Gettysburg:
When Gen. Longstreet advanced upon the
Federal left, its first line was carried. But the
enemy being heavily reinforced, rallied, and,
in turn drove, our portion of the line (Ander
son’s brigade) from the position, as well as
other brigades on our right and left. Again
we. charged, and again were driven back.
This was a critical moment for us; nearly all
of our general officers were killed orwounded.
Our heavy line had crumbled to a mere hand-
full, and the flower of Longstreet’s corps lay
weltering in blood. We were slowly retreat
ing, leaving many of our dead and wounded
in the hands of the exulting foe. The hosts
ofthe ememy came on like the mighty tides
ofthe ocean, and the loud peals of victory
were already rising from their haughty lips.
The blue hills in their| rear were bristling
with bayonets, and pouring torrents of rein
forcements down their winding slope. Now,
when we should have been reinforced with 30,
000 troops, Gen. Lee had not a man to send us.
Officers broke their swords upon the rocks,
and many ofthe men wept. Our dead and
wounded comrades lay around us by thou
sands, and it seemed as if there was no hand
to save the shattered remnant from destruc
tion. But aid did come—a man—a sol
itary man,threw himself before the juggernaut
of Federal power, and alone and unaided,
sought to stay its onward progress. I remem
ber, as if it were but yesterday, the zouave
cap and iron grey beard of the stranger.
None knew him, but all idolized him for his
bravery. He moved through the awful storm
with a steady step, and his uplifted sword
seemed to say to the advancing foe, “thus far
shalt thou come and no further,”
He said nothing, but his godlike example
made a hero of every man who saw him. Sol
diers looked in the face of their comrades, and
the question came simultaneously to their
blackened lips, “Who is he ?” echoed right and
left, far up and down the line. The enemy
came on like a tornado, and the proud hero
stood enveloped in the smoke of their muskets,
like a lion at bay. Men forgot to reload their
pieces or conceal themselves behind the rocks,
but stood stupefied with wonder. “Who is

Raid. ’ cd,until the cry became strangely wild and fear*
[Special despatch to the New York Worl d.]
Albany, March 11.—I have just received
some very important news, through private and
reliable sources, from Burlington, throwing con
siderable light on the movements of the Fe
nians in that vicinity. Uniforms for fifteen
thousand men and two thousand rifles of the
very best pattern have been transported quiet
ly during the last ten days, from New' York
city and from Troy to Burlington, Vermont,
where they now remain concealed, awaiting
the advance of the Fenian host. It is more
than possible that these arms will see the light
on St. Patrick’s day, when there is to be a grand
demonstration of some kind made by the Irish
population in that locality. Arms in abun
dance are said to be stored at Detroit, Sandus
ky, Buffalo, Ogdensburg, Plattsburg and Mont
pellier. Three companies ofFenian volunteers
have been organized in Burlington for service
in Canada. An old officer, who has seen ser
vice in Mexico, has command ofthe battalion.
The Vermont. Fenians have received trust
worthy intelligence from Montreal that there
was a secret meeting of the leaders of the
movement in that city last Friday night, in a
building not a hundred yards from the Bonse-
market, in which it was resolved to give every
aid possible to the invaders. Out of theeigh-
ty-five thousand members of that order in Can
ada, it is stated that twenty-five thousand will
take up arms as soon as Sweeney’s advance
reaches Canadian soil. Many of the Southern
officers who have been residing in Canada for
the last two years, have gone to New York for
the purpose of offering their services and assis
tance to General Sweeney. Lo Isle St. Helene,
on St. Lawrence river, opposite Montreal, a
military post, is a key to the defence of the
city, is being put up in a thorough state of
defence, and no civilian is allowed to visit the
forts under any pretense whatever.
; ful,— “General Lee” some one shouted, and the
word rang along the line like an electric flash.
“General Lee forever!” rang loud above the
battle’s roar, and as one man our gallant sol
diers rushed like a thunderbolt upon the as
tonished foe, “follow General Lee!”cried our
wounded comrades, as they lay upon the tram
pled earth and tossed up their bloody caps.
No body of men on the broad green earth
could have withstood the terrible impetuosity
of this onset. The Federal troops, though
they fought desperately, were compelled to give
back, and at last to retreat in confusion to the
heights, leaving their dead and wounded in our
' hands.
But where was the stranger? Alas! “The
path of glory leads but to the grave.” The
war isover now, and the brave men whom we
met that day as deadly enemies, we now meet
as friends. We would not detract one ray from
the crown of military glory that adorns each
of their heroes, but would do justice to our la
mented dead ; and if, by this imperfect sketch,
I can add one flower to the chaplet of a fallen
hero’s fame, I shall feel myself amply reward
ed. And that hero —“who is he?” The ans
wer comes up from the graves of Gettysburg—
Gen. Paul J. Semmes.

roads or other modes of conveyance in the
Southern States, whether for a fractional pe
riod or entire quarters. Applications for mail
contracts have been received and service or
dered in the Southern and Southwestern states

opened the following post offices: In Virgin
ia, 98; West Virginia, 23; North Carolina, 88;

A Fishy Subject.—The Sentinel is informed
that some one below Smithfield has placed a
wire seine across the Neuse river. This is de
cidedly naughty, as well as unlawful, and cuts
off the good people of this city from a goodly
supply of shad which are usually taken a short
distance from Raleigh. The proper authority
should be invoked to break up this scaly busi

consummated by the last legislature, was the

Thos. Bragg, Charles Dewey, T. H. Selby and
E. Burke Haywood.
We are more than gratified with these se
lections and doubt not the management will
exert themselves to make the institution one
of the best in the country. We arc mortified
to find itstated, with a seeming air of author
ity, that negroes are not permitted domicil and
treatment there. However repugnant we may
be to enlarging the political and social signifi
cance of the class referred to, humanity and re
ligion alike require that the insane of their

there is mistake in this matter. Who can give

M. E. General Conference.—As a matter
of state pride, we are glad to know that the
North Carolina Methodists are to be repre
sented, in the general conference of their de
nomination at New Orleans in April, by such
able divines as Revs. N. F. Reid, C. F. Deems,
B. Craven, N. H. D. Wilson, W. H. Bobbitt, R.
S. Moran and L. S. Burkhead.
The reserve delegates are Revs. D. B. Nichol
son, Win. Barringer, and Win. Gloss—princi
pals and alternates being men of much ability
and greatly esteemed for their piety. 1
Irelands Patron Saint.—To-morrow is
the anniversary of the nativity of St. Patrick,
the occurrence of which all true Irishmen hail
with reverence and pleasure, wherever they
are found. It was chiefly through the instru
mentality of this pious apostle that the Irish
National Church was founded. At the period
ofhis death he was 80 years of age and had
been actively devoting himself to his divine
mission for nearly forty years.
The present anniversary is regarded with
more than ordinary interest by both the cath
olic and protestant world, as it is thought
highly probable that the Fenians have chosen
it as the day on which to strike the first sub
stantial, concerted blow for the liberties of
fatherland. Whether this speculation shall
be verified by future transactions, we do not
know, but we are in full sympathy with the
noble sons of Erin who aspire to the work of
restoring the nationality of their Isle.

gALISBURY BRASS BAND,
Re-organized first January 1866, on a larger scale, and of
higher order of excellence than.formerly, under the direc
tion of its former tutor W. II. Neave, who was also chief
music writer and Band Teacher in Gen. Lee’s army • he
will be assisted by his brother Ed Neave, leader during
the entire late war, of Gen. Lee's best and most’favorite
band, viz : the 4th N. C. The band is composed of the
best members of the old band, together with the best
members of several of the fine bands trained in camp bv
Mr. Neave, who have moved to Salisbury from many
points of the state to follow their vocations andcontinue
the study and practice of music. The band will be a per-
m'nent institution for all state and festive purposes, and
will equal the best anywhere in the world, if sustained
by those desiring a fine order of Brass and String music
if not, it must go down. ’
Mr. Neave is also agent for the celebrated Dodworth
Brass instruments proved and warranted to him and by
him. Also themost pleading, effective and popular Piano
music, selected with the utmost care by his friends H B
Dodworth and Kent Botsford, of New York, for three
classes, viz: the learners, medium, players and advanced
musicians no trash for either—music composed and ar
ranged for any number of instruments, to order, for Par-
lor, Orcbostral or Brass Band. Mere letters of enquiry
must contain two Postage Stamps. Salisbury has been
chosen for Musical Head Quarters because of Its central
position.
