The First Blood. ,
The London correspondent of the Cin'
cinnati Gazette thus write? of Fenian
affairs :'
On Saturday, the 17th ult, the day on
which the act suspending the habeas cor
pus was passed, a party of three police
men called at the house of a farmer
named Jamo, Ryan, residing at a place
called Glenbane, in the county Tippe-
rarv. near the borders of Limerick. A
they approached the house they heard
the Bounds as ot men arming wnn guns
revolvers and other arms. The consta
bles knocked and demanded admittance.
and Ryan opened the door, but seeing
them load their pieces he put out all the
lichts, and then his drill party fired at
the police, wounding one so badly that
both lees bad to be amputated. The
second was wounded slightly in the shoul
der, and tbe otherescaped. The Fenians
then rushed out and yelled and hurruhed
for free Ireland, etc., and fled to the
mountains. ' A second and stronger party
of police returned soon after to the house
and arrested Ryan and two other per
sons, ana seized a six-barreled revolver.
three barrels of which were still loaded
which the tleeinu party had left behind.
It is said that a new commission will
be appointed for the trial of the Fenians.
Troops still continue to pour into Ire
land, and every little town and hamlet
throughout the country was being gar
risoned. The Cold Stream Guards and a
body of sappers and miners were ordered
off on the day the steamer sailed from
Liverpool (21st). As many ot there
nians arrested nave occn sent to tne
Model Prison at Pentonville, all subordi
nate officers of that institution, of Irish
birth, were transferred to other Govern
ment prisons. It was stated, but atter-
ward denied, that a guard of the mail van
had been fired at during their passage
from the Dublin postolfice to the Great
Southern Railway, oil hiinduy morning
18th ult 1 hree regiments have receivet
orders to sail for Canada as soon as pos
sible. Tbe statement was also made and
correeted, that Mrs. Stopbens, Mrs. Luby
and Mrs. O Donovan hud been arrested.
The Government it is said, does not in
tend to interfere with them.
A New Game,
Tbe Petersburg ( Va. ) Index has been
favored with tbe diagram and explana
tion of a new game, lately invented by
CoL Charles Richardson, formerly the
commander of a veteran battalion ot ar
tillery in General Lee s army. The
Imlex savs of it :
It is somewhat similar to the beautiful
and intricate Chess, but even more nearly
allied in its strategy and combinations to
real war than the pastime of 1'hilidor
and Kassim.
War-chess, or the Game of Battle, is
played by two persons with pieces repre
senting soldiers, (cavalry, artillery and
infuntrv.) forming two antagonistic
armies operating on a board. The board
represents a comparatively level country
traversed by river, passable at three
points only, viz : the bridge and two
fords.
On one side of the river there is a pieee
representing: a city which is to be de
fended, and if captured the player of that
side loses the game.
On the other side is a figure represent
ing a wagon the " supply train " of the
army which must be carefully guarded,
as its loss is the defeat of the player of
the side to whieh it belong.
Tne maneuvering at the beginning of
the game is, of courje, on the part of the
first to gain, and on that of tbe second
player to prevent the passage of the
river. The dispositions to be made,
according to the arrangement of the
board and the powers of the pieces, are
in accordance with the arms of the ser
vice which the figures represent And
in the very opening of the play endless
variety is obtainable as the three assail
able points aflWd endless opportunity for
connteT-movement, diversions, feints, etc

The Courier det Etats UnU, of a late
date, says: Chance has put into our
hands the most imposing and interesting
t'udicial document, to all Christians, that
las ever been recorded in human an
nals; that is, the identical death war rait
ot our Lord Jesus Christ We transcribe
tbe document from a copy of tbe trans
lation :
"sentence
Kendered by Pontius rilate, acting
Governor of Lower Galilee, that Jesus
of Nazareth Shall Sutler Death on the
Cross.
" In the year seventeen of the Empirs
of Tiberias CVsar, and the 4th of March,
the city of tho holy Jerusalem : Aneas
and Caiaphas being priests, sticrifieiitors
of the people of God, I, Pontius Pilate,
Governor of tbe pra-'lory, condemn Jesus
ot riazareth to die on the cross between
two thieves tbe great and notorious evi
dence of the people saying
1. He is a seducer,
2. He is seditious.
3. He is the enemy of the law.
4. He calls himself, falsely, the son of
Uod.
-6. He calls himself King of Israel.
6. He entered into the temple, fol
lowed by a multitude bearing palm
branches in their hands. -Order
the centurion, Quintius Corne
lius, to lead him to the place of execution.
Forbid any person, whomsoever, poor
or rich, to oppose the death ot Jesus.
' The witnesses that signed the death of
Jesus are :
1. Daniel Robani, a Pharisee.
2. Jannua Horobable.
3. Capet, a citizen.
Jesus shall go out of the city by the
gate streneous.
The above sentences are engraved on
a copper plate, on one side is written
these words :
"A similar plate is sent to each of
these tribes."
It was found in an antique vase of
white marble, while excavating in the
city of Aquilla, in the Kingdom of
Naples, in the year 1825, and was dis
covered by the Commissiarat of Arts
attached to the French armies. At the
expedition of Naples it was found en
closed in a box of ebony, in the sacristy
of CauHem. -
Tbe French translation was made by
the members of the Commission of Arts.
Tbe children requested earnestly that the
plate might not be taken away from
tbem. Tbe request was granted as a
reward for the army. Mr. Dennon, one
of the savans, caused a plate to be made
of the model, on which he had engraved
the above sentence. At tbe sale of his
collection of curiosities it was bought by
Lord Howard for 5881 francs.
Mormons in England.
The divorce court in London on the
20th ult was occupied with a cose arising
out of a Mormon marriage. A Mr.
Hyde, who is now a dissenting minister
and a country editor, went to Utah nnd
married a Miss Hawkins, who hnd gone
out to him for that purpose. Al.i-rw r )
he was sent on a mission to the Saiitit.
Islands, and while there he was re-n-verted
to Christianity. His wife, ho.
ever, remained steadfast in her allegiance
to Brigham Young, and married again.
IJr. SDinks, who appeared lor the peti
tioner, contended that a first marriage in
Ltah must be regarded as a valid one,
even in England ; but Sir James Wylde
doubted whether the matrimonial con
tract as it was understood in Christen
dom, had beea entered into at all. How
ever, his lordship took time to consider
bis ludgment.
Mr. r. I eri'V. a witness in the case.
says : 1 once saw a man and cis lour
wives living in a small room, containing
three or four beds, separated by curtains
only. I may add that this was a most
heart-rending scene. Three of the wo
men were sweetly pretty, accomplished
Lnzlish girls, whom I had known here.
Tbey were all married on the same day
to their Mormon elder, (elder in a double
sense), and. what is in'harmony with
the discord, a butcher. The heavy ex
pression of gravity and care on the old
brst wile s luce 1 shnll never lorget, and
tears come to my eyes now as I remem
ber the hopelessness of tone with which
one of the young ones said, in answer to
a question of mine, ' Ah, we don't sing
now. In bnglnncl they used to sing like
a choir ot angels.

We would rail attention to the pros
peots ahead of us, by comparing the rela
tive degree of prosperity which we en-
red belore the late war and wliat we
iiv reasonably expect within the lapse
of the current year. In 100 the amount
of cotton raised west of the Colorado
river, which found its outlet through this
bar. did not exceed in value f l.l'jO.OOO ;
the value of wool and hides did not ex-
reed $ 150.000 : and we sold abrond about
600,000 of beef cattle altogether two
millions of dollars, lliis year we es4t
mate that there will be 8000 bulcs of cot
ton raised in the same territory as 1800,
worth tl.600,000. The value of beef cat
tle exported and sold above the home
ensumption will be $1,000,000; of hides,
will be $250,000; of wool, will be $1,000,
000 altogether three millions eight hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. India

A Two-horse Performance.
Tly practice of the Republicans indorsi
ng both the I'residcni ana t-ongress, in
order to carry an election and hold on to
the loaves and fishes, is happily hit off by
the Philadelphia Age thus:
The Republicans of Connecticut ar?
trying to ride two horses, they nave
issued an address in which they praise
the President; and, at the same time
thev support General Uawley for Gov
ernor, who is violently apposed to " the
Government" They seem to be in favor
of either Thaddeos Johnson or Andrew
Stevens, it don't matter which, if they
fan only keep oa the winning side.
