Ijtqcest. An inquest was held this morning
over the body of st mkn named Wm. W. Johnston
formeriy of Johnstone county in this state, the
verdict fit which was that he died a natural
death. The man it seems died on the wharf, near
Stokely's mill, on Sunday evening last, and the
attending physician states the cause bf his death
to have been from a congestive chill. He was
engaged in bringing Wood-down the rivef for sale
in the city.i His body has not yet been interred.
Jno.iW.Hartnian, one of the-jurors, . disagreed
with the majority in matter of inquest,1 thinking
it a clear case of starvation, and it should have
been so stated ' in rendering the verdict. The
facts of his being part owner of the flat engaged
in the' trade, and the testimony of the physician,
ejjififlicts somewhat with the idea' of his dying
from'want. ": " f -
AsptjiKR, Fight .-rA nght occurred orii last
night about twelve o'clock, on Orange street, -between
Tom Lucas,7 the barber, and a negro'sol
dier. Tom was in a dispute with another man,
when the soldier came up and took part agamst
him, making the pretext for so doing, that Tom
would not perform tonsorial requirements for the
colored race. Two or three blows passed be
tween, in which neither were greatly injured, and
Ithe affair closed. They were before the provost
marshal this morning, and the soldier sent to his
duty at the guard house and Tom discharged.

American Fenians Buying Steamers and
: Our New York Correspondence.
New York, Sept. 2T. '
-The news by yesterday's steamer in regard to
the dreadful fright of John Bull over the Fenian
movement in Ireland has caused no little amuse
ment here. But a fortnight ago the London
Times was ridiculing the Fenians as mere shad
ows and now all England is up in arms against
them. The coast of Ireland is guarded by the
whole channel fleet ; seventy-five thousand Eng
lish soldiers have been placed under command of
General Sir Hugh Rose, who blew Sepoys from
cannons' mouths in India and who is expected
to dispose of the Irish in the same style ; Donald
McKay, th shipbuilder, has ben consulted by
the government in regard to laying torpedoes to
Fortunate
' The recent peril in' which General Grant was
placed by the displacement of a switch on the In
dianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad, seems to have
Deen the. result, of an infamous attempt on the
General's, lifer The .Cincinnati Gazette of the 28ih
irist.; skys: The president of the road, H. C. Lord,
EsqV on hearing of the occurrence,' immediately
prKjeeded to Guilford to. investigate the matter.
It was found that some infamous scoundrel, as
wicked as Booth but witt less courage, had bro
ken' the lock from the sw tch and turned the latt
te'r with a view of - throw ing the train from the
traok .Fortunately, theLwork was bunglingly
PH tq this fact theescape of the train frcni
being smashed is due, the locomotive and tender
having, as described, kept the track,1 and; thus
prevented the car containing the general - from
going over. - - It was a narrow escape, ' and 'while
the public will rejoice that this dastardly attempt
on' the.life of the Lieutenant-Gfeneral failed, they
win regret that there is little probability of find
ing the scoundrel who would plunge the nation
into-mournuig a second time for another of its
great and valued men. . , - ;

I confess that all these preparations for the
suppression of the Fenian rebellion excite m
vohder. Why under the sun don't England let
Ireland go ? How can she expect any sympathy
from the civilized world in this attempt to coerce
a brave arid noble people T All that the Fenians
ask is to be let alone ; and why can't the British
government let them alone 1 Of course the Uni
ted States will observe a strict neutrality during
the contest ; but if we should send the Fenians
guns, ships, provisions, ammunition and umforms
that will only show how very strict our neutrali
ty is. If we remonstrate with England and tell
her, that she ought to allow Ireland to set up an
independent government, our advice will simply
be given in the interest of peace. Ah ! Mr, John
Bull, it is a poor rule that will not work: both
ways, and I soon hope to see your rules applied
to yourself. - .
Meanwhile we are all absolutely ignorant of
what is really taking place in Ireland, Whether
; the Fenians have risen aqd what progress they
are malppg are unknown here. The British gov
ernment has taken possession of the postoffices
and opens all letters. It has likewise suppressed
the Irish People, a Fenian newspaper , in Dublin ;
so that we have no means of knowing what is
going on, except through. English sources. From
the best information t can gather) however, the
Fenians have not yet commenced to fight, and
these movements. on the part of England are
merely preventative. It, is reported that paper
money and bonds for the Irish Republic are be-,
ing printed in this city, and that eight steamers,
capable of carrying one thousand men each,liave
been purchased for immediate use by the Fen
ians in this country. TheYe may be something
serious in "these rumors, or there may not. I Gari
baldi freed Italy with a red shirt; who knows
'but -that, the Fenians may be able . to free old Ire
land by the magic of a green flag 1 . i u
' To change the subject: The examination of)
our city officials before Governor Fenton, . at Al-
"banf; began yesterday and hidiJ fair to Tresult a3'
