Tho Cotton Crop.
t uairo aispatcu ot the JLUtu Bays :
Texas papers complain of tho short
ncss of the cotton crop in that Stato
caused by ravages ot tno worm and
drought. It is estimated that thero wil
not bo more than half a crop.

havo practically demonstrated that cot
ton can be successfully cultivated with
frco labor. A lot of thoir raising sold
at Houston, was pronounced cleaner and
of finer quality than tho majority of
that raised with slave labor.
It is estimated that in Illinois no less
than 25,000 bales of cotton will bo rais
ed this year, on farms along tho lino of
tho Illinois Central Railroad, botween
this city and Anna, against 5,000 bales
last year.
In Union county it has bcon found
difficult to procuro white laborers to se
cure the cotton crop, owing to tho prev
alence of fever and ague. In order to
save his crops, a planter near Joncsboro
lesorted to tLo employment of negroes;
" theso vtcro sot upon by a moli oE a low
class of whites, who disguised, attacked
them with guns whilo sleeping. Shots
were fired in their quarters, injuring no
one, but frightening most of tho negroes
off tho plantation, and tho foroman was
notified that negroes would not bo per-
. rnittcd to work on tho plantation.

an, commenting upon him and his do-
sciples, speaks rather plainly : "During

Torriblo.Tragcdy in Randolph Coun
ty, Illinois Forty Porsons Poison
ed. We hear of an awful tragedy that
transpired last week, in tho town of Shi
Iiih. Randolnh bounty. 111. It anneara
that two physicians, Drs. Campbell and
Minnor, ot th&t place, recently sent to
tho drug store of A. A. Anderson, in
Chester, for a quantity of calomel. Iti
ono day, tho mcdicino was administered
to forty pationts, when it was discover
ed that with tho calomel thero was mix-
ed corrosivo sublimate, a violent poison.
All of tho patients wero taken -with
alarming symptoms, and in tho cases of
seven ot them, the result had proved la
tal at the date of our advices', and it
was feared that others would not surf
vive. Among thoso whoso death ensued
wcro a family named Mollingor, con
sisting of man, wifo and child. A sis
tor of Dr. Campbell, an intelligent and
interesting young lady, died in a few
hours after having taken tho doso pre
scribed by her brother.
The calomel containing tho poison
was nut up in the ordinary way, and
had not been tampered with after loav
ing the storo of a wholesale drnggist in
at. iiouis, by whom it was imported
from England. Tho presence ot corro
sivo sublimato was probably duo to a
culpable carelessness, rather than do
sign, at the laboratory of tho manufac
turer. If this hypothesis is correct, it
is terrifying to think of tho possiblo
consequences in-other parts of thocoun
try.

Origin of tho Torm "Fenian" An
tiquity or tho organization.
Tho following account of tho anciont
?cnians of Irofahd is from Morloy's
Writers beforo Chaucer :"
"Irish tradition says that tho Fenians
wcro an anciont militia, or standing
army', employed only on homeeervice
for protcoting the coast from invasion.
ach of tho four provincos, says tho tra
dition, had its band ; that of Loinstcr,
to which Jnonn and his family belonged,
boing called the Clanna liaoisgne. This
militia is said to havo bcon paid by tho
iviuu, uuiuicu on mo poopio in mo, win
ter, outo have lived in summer by tho
chaso. And these aro imagined to have
been tho qualifications of a Fenian :
Every soldier was roquired to swear
that, without regard to her, fortune, he
would choose a wifo for hor virtue, her
courtesy and her good manners ; that
ho would nover offer violence to a wo
man : that as far as ho conld ho would
relievo the poor, and that ho would not
rcfuso to nght mno men of any other
nation. No person could bo rocoived
into tho scrvico unless his father and
mother and rolatiycs.gayo security that
none ot them should revengo his death
upon tho person who might slay him,
but that thoy would leave tho matter to
his fellow soldier. Tho youth himself
must bo well acquainted with tho twolvo
books of poetry, and bo able to composo
verses. He roust bo a perfect master
of defence ; to prove this ho. was placed
in n hold of sedgo reaching up to his
Miuua, uaviiig in ms uanus a target anu
a hazel stick as long as a man's arm.'
Nine experienced soldiers, from a dis
tance of nine ridges of land, were tq
hurl their spears at him at onco : if ho
was unhurt ho wasadmittod, but if
wounded ho 'was ecnt off with a reproach.
Ho must also run well and defend 'him
self when in fight ;'to try his activity ho
was mado to run through a wood, hav
ing a start of a tree's breadth, tho wholo
of tho Fenians pursuing him ; if ho was
overtaken or wounded in tho wood ho
was refused, as too sluggish and unskil
ful to tight with honor among such val
lant troops. Also, ho must havo i
strong arm and be able to hold his woap
on steadily. Also, when ho ran through
a wood in chaso his hair should not como
untied.; if it did he was rejected. He
must bo so swift and light of foot as not
to break a rotton stick by standing upon
it ; able also to leap over a tree as high
as his forehead and to stoop under a
treo that was lower than his knocs
Without stopping or lessening his speed,
ho must bo ablo to draw a thorn out of
his foot. Finally, he must take an
oath of fidelity.
''The Tiev. Gcoffry Koating, who
wrbto a 'History of Erin' in tho year
1630, gravely says : 'So long as these
terms of admision were exactly issued
upon, tho military of .Ireland were an
invincible defence to thoir country and
a terror to rebels at homo and enemies
abroad.' Goll M'Mcrna hid slain Fi
onn's father, Cumhaill, in battle and
was Fionn's mortal enemy in early life',
Afterwards ho mado a poaco with, him,
and fought under him as a chieftain of
tho Connaught Fenians. But the supre
macy of tho Olanna Baoisgno led to
feuds, and at last Fionn and his clan,
defvine tho throne itself, wore attacked
by all the forces of Erin excopt those of
the King of Muhster who took part with
him and suffered carnage in that battle
of Oabbia, wherein Uisin's son Uscar
and the Ding Cairbro fell by each otb
er's hands. Fionn, who was absent1,
arrived only in time to close his grand
son's eyes, and after this defeat peace
had no sweets for him and war no tri
umphs. Fionn died at last, it is said,
by tho lance of an assassin."
"It is noticeablo, however, that tho
Fenians were not confined to Erin. In
the ancient poem on tho battle of Gab
bra we read of 'the bands of tho Fions
of Alban' (Alban boing the old name of
Scotland north of tho Firth of Forth
and ClyU), and the supreme King of
l . . it n . .. . 1 n . .
juroniau (. uroatan Doing oomuern ocot-
lsud, of Wiiicn Dunbreatan, now Dun!-

to the order ot tho reinno ot Alban
and also that 'the Fians of Lochlah
was an aucient name of Germany nortfi
ot tho umno ; but .When tho. Uorman
and Norwegian pirate? appeared in tho
ninth century thoy were called liocn
Itmaels, and the name ot Iiocblan was
ttinsforrod to' Norway and Denmark.
It has been arguod from this that tho
Fenians Woro not a militia of Gaels,
but that th6y were a distinct Celtio raco,
connected with tho only two races who
are apoken'of as having come in oldest
time from iLioChlan--namely, tho Tua

From Mexico.
Intelligence has arrived from Mexico
by tho way of Havana to tho SOthi'of

ordered into mourning for soven days
for tho Grand Duchess Sophia of Baden.
Lieut. Maury, lato rebel official, has

Tho story that Juarcsf had passed tho
ronticr at Paso del Norte, and had

organs received it as the practical erid
of the Juarez resistance. A party of
Zouaves had attacked a band of Juarists
under Mojia, and dispersed them, thus
ro-establishing communication between
Tampico, San Luis and Potosi. Vari
ous other small battles -are reported as
resulting favorably to tho Imperialists.
