Darcy Mctfee, in a speech made at Montreal last night, denounces the Fenians as ravishers, as 1 follows : Speaking of the anticipa ted invasion he says : "'To the banks,' would be the cry of one set : To the convents of the other. The jhate of Cain and the cupidity of Judas, and the lust of Belial would be the justi fication of the sorted allies, for the object of both would be plunder, and of all, carnage. AX AFFAIR OF H0X0R. The X. . Times' Attack upon the Fenians, Col. John O'Mahoney De mands a Retraction. THE HON"' J. tt. RAYMOND DECLINES. lie is Invited to Name a Friend. JttSt. RAYMODAGAIN DECLINES. The following correspondence is full of inter est, and, we think, explains itself, lhe article m the New York Times which caused the corres pondence, reads as follows : FENIAN IMPOSTURE. Hundreds and probably thousands of poor, honest, unsuspecting Irish, hying in the unso phisticated sections of this country, cave been cajoled into making remittances to the managers of the order here'and elsewhere not one tithe of which, they may depend on it, are used for any other purpos.es than maintaining a set oi scaihps in idleness. Stories come to us of re mittances of fenian funds to Ireland. Most of these' stories are doubtless intended to show that the contributions received are actually expended for some revolutionary end. Even if an honest share of the funds were sent to Ireland, the re sult would apparently be merely to send a few more ill-advised young men to jail. But we do not believe that the money is used for any other purpose than getting notoriety and patent leather boots for a set of idlers in this country. It is really time, that those who are in a position' to advise the unsophisticated people in the rural districts as to the real nature of the fenian swindle, Should do so. It is a crime to bolster up the concern even as a joke. The clergy, on whose ministrations the Irish Americans chiefly depend, are probabl doing their best to stop the swin dle. But every one who wishes well to Ireland and her people should lend a hand in exposing what is really an unmitigated imposture. MR. KILLIAN TO MR. RAYMOND. Mr. Killian presents his compliments to Mr. Raymond and asks on behalf of Col. John O'Mahoney, president of the fenian organization, a retraction from Mr. Raymond of all statements of a personal character embodied in an article entitled " The Fenian Imposture," published in to-day's Times. Mr. Killian will call on Mr. Raymond at one P. M., with a view ot furthering his object. New Yoek, November 14, 1865. MR. RAYMOND'S REPLY. The editor of the Times acknowledges the re ceipt of Mr. Killian's note. He begs to say in reply that, as the article referred to embodies merely an expression of opinion concerning an organization of persons, he sees no ground or demanding or making a "retraction," except upon t.h submission of such facts as shall lead to a change of such opinion. The editor of the Times will be very happy to Teceive, consider and (if desired) to publish any such facts which Mr. K. or any one else may wish to submit to him. Times Office, Nov. 14. mr. killian to mr. raymond. New York, Nov. 15. Mr. Killian has received and read Mr. Ray mond's reply to Mr. O'Mahony's application for a retraction of "statements of a personal charac ter, embodied in the 'fenian imposture' article of yesterday's Tunes" Mr. Killian cannot agree with Mr. Raymond that those statements are marolv an pcrnrpssion of oninion concerning an .nisatUm of versons." nor. if thev were, could llivi vi j r' - x - jie regard them otherwise than as libelous, gross- ly oifensiVe, and richly deserving of rebuke from from all such "organized persons." He sees in tnem on the other hand, a plain and palpable at- tempt "individualize" the responsibility of the cfeman imposture," as Mr. Raymond is pleased o term it--to charge "the managers of the or- der:here and elsewhere" with complicity in, and the management of a "swindle" in brief, to stitrmatize them as dangerous citizens and disre- pUtable men, preying on the credulity of their feyow countrymen. The official "managers" of 0er being, just at present, three executive officers, now resident in New York, there is no afficuity in making the application personal to nem the difficulty indeed -seems to consist in presuming the "expression, of opinion" could ave nad otner meaning.

Should Mr. Raymond fail to see the urgency of the retraction asked for, he is requested-to name some geneleman with whom Mr. O'Mahony and Mr. Killiai miht enjoy a more satisfactory acquaintance. B. Dorax Killian. mk. Raymond's reply. Mr. Raymond received Mr. B. Doran Killian's note, dated the 13th, late last evening. Unless he misunderstands its closing paragraph, Mr Killian presents to Mr. Raymond the Alternative of either making the "retraction1 which Mr. Kil lian has demanded on behalf of Mr. O'Mahony and himself, or of considering himself invited to a hos tile meeting with one or both! of those gentle men, ah. Aayuiouu is unwilling to take any action on the subject until more fully assured of the meaning of Mr. Killian's note; and the un usual phraseology which Mr. Killian has seen fit to adopt must be his excuse for requesting him to inform him whether he has or has not cor rectly understood him. t MB. KILLIAN TO MR. RAYMOND. . No. 32 East Seventeenth-street, Union Square, New York, Nov. 16. ) Mr. Killian regrets that he has not made him self fully understood by Mr. Raymond. He cer tainly nought to assure'Mr. R. that a reti action, as ample as the offense, was required : and that, failing to receive it, Mr. O'Mahony and himself would feel juitified in insuring fuiratonenient by any course of action recognized as legitimate under like aggravation. It is not Mr. O'Ma-' hony 8 or Mr. Killian's intention to prejudice Mr. Raymond's motive in asking for this statement of "meaning." They reprobate the idea that an American editor would seek to shield a gross calumny behind a grosser quibble. It is, how ever, due to both to add that the question of justice in this case, can never be debated in a police court owing to any predetermination on the part of Mr. O'Mahony or Mr. Killian. mr. Raymond's reply. New York, Nov. 17, 1865. Mr. Raymond declines to comply with the me nacing demand for " retraction," which Mr. Kil lian, on behalf of himself and Mr. O'Mahony, has seen fit to make upon him. Headquarters Fenian Brotherhood, New York, Nov. 17, 1865. The undersigned, representing the organiza- tion assailed by the editor of the Times, begs leave to place the foregoing correspondence in the hands of the public. His only comment on it is, that a person who will neither undo a foul libel nor place himself in a position to be chas tised for it, is not possessed of the courage of a man or the instincts of a gentleman. John O'Mahoney, President of the Fenian Brotherhood. FROM WASHINGTON. The Virginia Congressmen and the Test Oath. Changes in the Marine Corps. Tiae Department ileporis. &C, &C. &.C. Washington, Nov. 17. A Virginia correspondent of the National In telligencer says : Messrs. Curtis, Chandler, Ridge way, Barbour, Davis and Hoye, elected to con gress from that state, will take,the test oath with out scruple. Of the other two, Messrs. Stuart and Conrad, he adds " Whether able or not to take the oath, they present the best antece dents." FINANCIAL. Washington, Nov. 17. Thefive per cent, one and two years treasury notes tailing nue on ana alter tne nrst proximo will be paid at the treasury department at their maturity. THE MARINE, CORPS. The following changes have been made -in the marine corps : Col. Wm. Dulany is removed from .command of the marine barracks at Norfolk, Va., to be suc ceeded by Major John L. Broome, whe has beer detached from the western naval station at Mound City, Illinois. First Lieut. Thomas McElrath, detached from the marine barracks at Brooklyn, and ordered to command the marine guard on the .steam sloop Monongahela, at New York. The guard of this vessel started from Washington this morning, in charge of First Lieut. Cochrane. Captain J. F. Baker and Lieutenant F. T. Peet, of the marine corps, late of the steamer Niagara, have been summoned as witnesses in the case of Commodore Craven, and when dismissed will report for duty at the marine barracks in Phila delphia. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. There are more than 5,000 applications on file for situations in the treasury department, and the number is increased from day to day. Many of them are from discharged soldiers. The list of the past week show applications from thirteen colored men lately in the military service. The number of women seeking employment in that department is very large. Recommendations seem to be of easy procurement, and the other departments are similarly besieged for like fa vors. THE ANNUAL DEPARTMENT REPORTS. The annual report of the secretary of the navy is nearly printed. It is always the first given to the public printer. Some of the reports of bureaus connected with the treasury, post office and interior departments aro also in print. The manuscript of the other reports are not yet ompleted. The treasury department has just printed $9,- 000,000 worth of gold certificates, which are to be sent to the proper omces as occasion may ue- mand. ' NAVAL PRIZES. The fourth auditor of the treasury publishes a ong list of additional naval prizes, which are now payable. Railroad Fatalities. The Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph of Nor. 15, says : Last night a terrible accident occurred near Aadersonburg, on the Pennsylvania railroad, by which Mr. Henry Willoughby, of Harrisburg, conductor, and a man named Hitter, of East Do negal township, Lancaster county, were instantly killed. It appears that the unfortunate men were sitting in a coal car belonging to the train, when the bottom of the car by some means eave way. precipitating Willoughoy and Ritter upon the track. The rear ena 01 me, train passed over them, killing them instantly and mutilating them most horribly. It is said that Willoughby could only be identified by means 01 his goatee. Mis remains were brought to this city this ' morning, and taken to his late residence in the sixth ward, and those o Ritter were sent home. On the track, of the Harlem and New.

THE JAMAICA REBELLION Energetic Action of the Authorities. One Hundred and Twenty Se grosiHanged. Jamaica correspondence of the New York World. Jamaica, W. L, Nov. 4. Here, on the highlands of Jamaica, profund peace lias long reigned ; but we now feel as if our ruountaians were all volcanoes, where we have been resting without a dream of the fires below, or of the infernal power that has been raising those fires. It seems that a plot has beer brew big to make the island a second Haytf, and that Judases were found among lhe Methodist and Baptist ministers, mostly the flatter, to act as ringleaders, Rev. George Wm. Gordon being the chief, a man of wealth, nearly white, and a mem ber of the legislature, elected for seven years. The full history of the plot has not yet become public. It exploded before it was ripe, not over the whole island, but in the parish of St Thomas in the east.. A war steamer went down at once, from Kings ton, and other forces were collected on the land. Prisoners were taken and tried by court-martial the most guilty were hung, and others were pun- isucu uy nuggmg or imprisonment. in two i weeKs one Hundred and twenty were hung. Mr. dordon, and several other Baptist ministers among the number. Important papers, throw ing light on the conspiracy, were found in posses sion of persons arrested, and many have been arrested for merely using seditious language, one man who, said : " You have seen nothing here in St. Mary ; wait till we rise, and then you will see enough." The first three days follow ing the outbreak was a time of suspense. A large proportion of the blacks showed siems of being pleased, and men were in doubt whether or not the insurrection would spread. The news afterwards was suchas to make things quiet, and the blacks then appeared as usual. The governor has gained much credit by his management in bringing the guilty to punishment, and snn- pressing the insurrection so speedily. We have a government that is a government. The object of the ringleaders was no less than to get possession of all the property on the island. The home government has so long made pets of the blacks that they could find scarcely a shadow of a grievance to comnlain of. Blacks and whites have the same right of voting. THE LATEST. Further accounts from Jamaica state that dis turbances had broken out in St. Ann's Parish, and troops had been sent there. Twelve more rebels were hung on the 4th. Yolunteers were ordered out on the 3rd to suppress a rebel de monstration near Montego Bay, but it seemed to be a -slight affair. Kingston still remain under martial law. ' The Baltimore American of the 18th has the following in relation to the revolt : We have some further particulars of the revolt of the blacks in the island of Jamaica. The facts elicited show that the massacre was the re sult of a deliberate plot for assassinating the white population and putting the negros in pos session of the island. The 29th of October was fixed for the rising, but the arrest of some of the conspirators on other charges precipitated the outbreak several days. At the bottom of the conspiracy was George William Gordon, ex-magistrate and member of the colonial assembly, and, it would seera (though on this point the colonial papers make no definite statement), a white man. The active leader was Paul Bogle, a negro preach er. Bogle, Gordon and the other principal rebels have been arrested and hanged. General La mothe, ex-president of the Haytien republic, is believed to have been implicated in the rising, and has been arrested on board of a schooner in which he was trying to escape from the island. At the date of last advices the revolt was sup pressed. The insurgents do not seem to have at tf mpted the destruction of the property on the island. The editor of one of the colonial pa pers has been arrested on the charge of being concerned m the revolt. Tlie MPeaceful Indians" A Train Rob bed by tlie Broadbrim Sioux. From a Letter in the Leavenworth Times. Fort Colliss, October 24. I started from Fort Laramie, a few days since, in company with four others. J ust after we had reached Pole Creek and camped, we were attack ed by about one hundred and twenty-five Sioux Indians, who killed our cattle, and then com menced firing into the train. We kept them off for three or four hours, when the Indians were reinforced, and we had to run for life. The In dians took everything I had. Our loss will amount to over 012,000. None of us were injured. All that saved us was our horses, which were first rate, and which we had taken the precaution to tie to our wagons. If you see any one who wants to make peace with the Indians, just knocklhim down for me. The troops in this country make a poor attempt at fighting Indians. More soldiers than Indians are killed.

The body of the late collector has not yet been found, although the surveyor of the port has been dredging the river in the hopes of recover ing it.

' Cvattnnatlon ef the Republican Set off 7Iauunor iAmerlcan Troops Fired on by tbe Imperialists for C&eerinff tb Republican. Naw Oruum, Nov. 15. The latest advices from Brownsville say the liberals, under General Escobedo, Cortina, Cana les and Mendes, were rigorously contmtmigr the siege of Matamoros, They captured on the &th the steamer. Ru Grcskit, and brought her to Ckrksville to transform her into a gunboat. The liberals held the river below the town, which had been evacuated by the women and children,' who sought refuge on the American side. 'It is thought that the republicans wiU capture the place. The federal forces enthusiastically cheer the progress of the liberal besiegers. On Thurs day last tbe imperial steamer Pmtno fired four shots upon them. - The casualties by this strange proceeding are unknown. ' New Orleaks. Not. 16th - The Brownsville Mexican Lrpublitan extra of Nov. 7 announces the capture of Monterey, by the Liberals, under Paris, and also says that no reinforcements had arrived for Brownsville. Mer chants who have arrived here say that a large French force was landing t Bagdad. The ex tra says Gen. Pedro Mendoti had arrived, and joined Corda, before Matamoras, with 1,800 Lib erals, and had previously surprised and utterly destroyed an Imperial garrison of 100 'men, in cluding a number of French troops. The Libe rals claim that they can take Matamoras when they please. The Matamoras Eaneho says that the Liberals offered four hours! plunder of the city of Mata- moras to" the United States troops at Brownsville if tney would join them, and the Raneho warns the Federal commander to keep a sufficient force there. The Galveston Bulletin of Nov. 12th says that Col. Jones, of Escobado's staff, had arrived there from Brownsville, and that Capt. Sinclair, of the Liberal service, formerly lieutenant of the rebel privateer Alabama, captured an Imperal trans port at the mouth of the Rio Grande, brought her to Brownsville, and turned her over to the Federal authorities, who have placed a guard on her. Canales is marching towards Bagdad, to try to capture it. An Imperial gunboat has passed up from Bag dad to Matamoras. A wealthy Matamoras merchant, who left there on the 17th' says there are no fears of the place being captured, as it is well fortified, and the troops are well armed and supplied, and arein good spirits. j New York, Nov. 17. Late Mexicans papers, received by the Manhat tan, contain the following : It was rumored in Vera Cruz that Juarez was in Texas on his jtvay to Piedras Negras. The troops in Texas are more and more approaching the river, as if contemplating some hostile move ment. Dates from Morelia to October 27 state that the Imperial Colonel Mendes has ordered the Libe ral Generals Ortega and Salazark and tlu ee colo nels to be shot. A Republican camp has been attacked by the Imperialists, near Matamoras, andy among the prisoners taken were three soldiers in United States uniforms. They were handed over for trial by. a court-martial, which would undoubted ly order them to be shot. Important Order. Col. E. Whittlesey, assistant commissioner of freedmen for North Carolina, has just issued the following order, important to the white as Hell a black population : Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 10. All officers and agents of this bureau, and teachers of freedmen, will publish as widely as. possible the following, instructions ; I. In view of the fact that government aid now given to the destitute" may soon be withdrawn, freedmen now being iicamps, colonies and towns, are directed to find employment at once, by which they may support themselves., -4 J II. Officers and agents of the bureau will Issue no more rations to any refugees or freedmen who refuse situations where they might earn their support. While the innocent and well-disposed will be protected, vagrant idlers who try to Jive without any honest calling will be promptly "ar rested and punished. III. Paupers will, as soon as practicable, be turned over to the u Wardens of the Poor " for support, and officers and agents will co-operate with such wardens in providing for the infirm and helpless.

Gen. Grant visited the union league rooms last night, and was welcomed by Vice President Beek man, who, after thanking him for his victories, alluded to the foul wrong of the French occupa tion of Mexico. . Gen. Grant replied briefly, say ing: "There is one sentiment in your address which is mine also: it is the. one touching the fu ture of Mexico. Speeches were also made by Generals Meade and De Trobnand. The grand reception to General Grant will take place on Monday evening. General Joseph EL Johnston In Jf ew ITork Joseph .

The general seems to have lost nothing of his fine appearance by the trials of the war m which he played so conspicuous a part. He is pf medium height, broad shouldered, and wears a heavy mustache and beard, which the lapse of time and, no doubt, also the troubles to which he has been subjected for the last four years have changed from a deep black to an iron-rrav coior. xt is uaaersuxHi umi ue i ux i i the city on private business.
