Old men have gone down, and old ideas have gone too. There is no place left for them. A fresh system of thought and class of ideas have cropped up, and now bristles over the whole land. * It is twenty years since an Irish writer sald, “The fairies and the banshees, the poor scholar and the Ribbon- man, the Orange lodge, the illicit still and the faction fight are vanishing into history, and unless this genera- ‘tion paints them no other will know what they were.” And this is literally true to-day. Faries, ban- shees, ghosts, ghouls and other fantastic creations » of superstitious imagination, or of ludicrous gossip, that may @ been hopping on the tongues of all the old ladies since the days of St. Patrick and Columbkilne, are in full flight now from the land where a perverse Fenian race knows not to appreciate them, The unlucky-eyed witch scares not the ‘men who step to time”—her pishogues aro to them harmless a8 the daisies with which the country colleen decks her “May tree.” And the brawny and pious peasant boy, when told that he must quit reading Irish republican journals “or the flesh will wither from off his bones,” will slily suggest to the venerated vicar that “‘sure, now, he must be joking intirely.”” THE GREAT UNION OF CLANS AND CREEDS, Orangeism, the raw head and bloody bones of other days, is rather effete at present. So is Ribbonism. The soil and the century are uncongenial with sectarian in- stitutions, and men begin to think that because one be- lieves that another is sure to lose his soul is no reason why he should flog his body also, The youth are schooled together; they grow, play, laugh, box, romp, wresile, joke and make love together; and together thy aro all to roside there, and be miserable or happy as fares their commen country, Under these circum- ask thi mselves some practical questions— Task the brave soldier who fights by my side cause of mankind if our creeds do agree? up the iriend f bave valued and tried els not before the same altar as me heretic girl of my soul must I fly ele e k {ss No! perish th Truth, valor and love by So sing the'r bards, and the fies the young hearts of the land. may fuliminate and the castle pr Dut still wll the masses come together, the big The Orange acher may denounce, fall into Hine on the broad highway to freedom, ism is thoroughly abused by both priest and parson.

When Ame: for freedom England called on Ireland for recruits, but Grattan thrilled the Irish Parliament by the glorious re- sponse thut “Ire!and was not in the temper to send four millions of men to cut the throats of freemen,” But in effect thousands crossed the Atlantic to fight on tho American side. The great volunteer movement of '$2, which for the time freed tho Parliamon of Ireland, was disciplined and inspirited by returned Irish American revolutionary veterans, and ‘such men as Lord Edward Fitzgerald brought home from the American war the souls which lit up the Irish revolut onary spirit of '98. ‘On the failure of thy '98 movement Ireland sent to America her génius and intellect, in the Emmets, Me- Nevins, &c., and soon these exiles returned in the spirit thed through a hundred thousand fervid opissies the breath of life into the enfeebled frame, Every senti- mont conveyed by an Irish American letter Is ad with the impress 0.

Fairs and patterns, wakes, weddings and gath- erings of all kinds were one day marked by “the cup and the shiilolah,” and in elfect no vice ever proved to have a more inveterate hold of the mercurial masses than the temptation to shirk their heavy burdens of overpowering affliction by resorting to the excitement of inebriation. But, in the words of one of themselves, “they've got as bravely over that as the boy with pray. ing.’ Father Mathew, by practically endowing the cause of temperance with the prestige of religion, did ich to root out the evil.

The peopl: wore sensible, the so'l fruitful, the air gen‘al, the rivers roaring for the mill, the harbors, with wide open arms, ready to embrace tie merchantman; the loom und tho shuttle uneasy in idle- ness, and nature’s recesses eager to yield rich wealth to man, till a pall was over the island, a torpor stupided the inhabitants, an iceberg froze the river and the bay. It was believed’ that the laws for Ireland ought to bo mady in Ireland, and that the English legistators, not wn- derstanding the people or the country, could not, how- ever woll disposed, know and remedy their wants as we'll as they could’ themselves. It was believed, too, that the prevailing institutions were suit and old, and unsuited to the ciusticity and progressiveness of the Yo ng Ireland which was now chating in the traces. In this stato of things lay the incipiency of the move- ment which has now altained such vast proportions under the name of the Fen'an Organization. The movement consists of a grand central body in Ireland and of various minor co-operative associations in Ameri- ca, Canada, England, Scotiand, Australia and elsewhere, ‘The Central organization, called the I. R. B., or Irish Re- publican Body, is the most powerful and important of any. It is organized for fight; its members aro all sol- diers, ruled by a strict military code; its mission Is to ex- pel the English garrison and establish an independent Fepublican government in Ireland to rule over and pro- tect all the people. It is organized ina very intricate mannner, but the details of organization have already appeared in “tho Herato’s first epistle on the Feuian Brotherhood,” published some months since. Hence we will not dwell upon that feature, observing only that, while all pronounce our exposé correct as far as it w: still it ia claimed that thers are intricacies which were never entrusted to any person whomsoever on this side of the Atlantic, It is said that the final and full develop- ment of the system, which will occur only when the armies ar in the field, will be such as to astonish even the initiated on this side of the water. PALIS-—CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCHEME. There are circumstances surrounding the original con- struction of the designs which have never yet been reached by the public through any means whatever, and time of striking interest, as filustrating mds upon skill and cireymspection in the ‘a great edilice, ‘They are a curious con- of rovolution and revolutionary works, and we are enabled to give them at length to-day. Upon tho failure of the effort founded upon the en- thusiasm calle¢ up by the Young Irelanders of °48 it was at once determined to organize a movement which, while adapting popular spirit to its purposes, would still proceed upon the moro solid basis of military training and physical strength. As the cxpulsion of Pritish wer from Ireland was @ work of enormous magnitude, it was determined to incorporate into the new pro- gramme whatever genius, erudition, experience and in- tell ctual power could coumand or g-quire. ‘The revolution in France, in 1848, drew thither many of the Irish loaders, and, making Paris (heir headquarters, a large number of the leading minds of Ireland worked sor some eight years, or upto the year 1866, in maturing their p this body and the prominent revolutionary leaders of France and Europe, the case being submitted to cach separately, and a distinct plan obtaiued from each, ‘The Joad'ng object aimed at in all was to originate applances in the propoved organ’zation which would battle the most insidious atiempts 0: the ruling power to interfere by spies or interuai treason with the workings or culmina- tion of the movement. cir respective schemes these continental sulied not within F ach, nd experienc of tribution to the histo .

In this 1. R. B. movement there are no official rolls, lets, reg'e- ters, reports, names or written documents of any kind. Reports, when necessary at all, are made ¥ rally ; but the singular allocation, subdivisions and gradations of the component parts of the organization render such re. ports and papers not by any means an essential in op-rating the organization. When the government say that the authorities have captured a list of all the Fenians im Cork, or roll of pervects among her Majesty's troops, they are clearly in error, jog apne list or register of this kind exists: anywhere in the island. If they find such rolls and make airesis on their strength, they will most probably be imuring some of the troublesome pro-British neigh- bors of real Fenians, The wild tales of areacsina- tonsa, &c., and of projected campaign movements which they may extract in court or elsewhere from any ono they may be able to capture, may be given by the par- ties concerned in full rity; but most of those per- sons are purposely put in the 64 of the government, freighted, as they usuaily are, with a stock of informa- tion best calculated to consummate the Fenian ruse de werre.

Then it suspends its habeas corpus and other of its own laws, seizes a few dozens of prominent patriots through the country, believing that at last a regular old ’98 Oliver Bond coup d'état was exe. cuted, and lo! the Fenian stoic stands cool as ever. Its wheels are not clogged, the machinery is still harmoni- oug and in perfect operation, the inroads made on the ranks scem to raise no cominotion, and tho fraternity gonerally act as though they were inasters of the situa- tion, and consequently keep a good temper on hand. English policy in sich cas2s is an old story with the Trish patriots, and if the revolutionary organizers could not have provided for precisely th’s siate of things they never would have attempted banding the people for a successful blow. More than a year ago the Fenians wero discussing the stand to be taken, aud the only surprise among them was that these ineazures were not taken six months ago. “Thank God,” exclaimed one of their journals, ‘“‘the young Irishmen of to-day could s2¢ their brothers shot down on the ‘streets without jeopardizing the ultimate issue by a singlo blow”? A great flourish of (Castle) trumpet celebrates the capture of a batch of prisoners; yat the Fenians place little importanco on those proceed: ings. “They have taken scarcely half one hundred men from us yet,” say they, “and had they taken fifty thou- sand we would still have enough left to carry out our work.’" FENIAN MACHINERY. In viow of this imperturbable sang froid of the Fenian fraternity, it inay be remarked that most of their confi- dence rests upon the peculiar construction of their organ- {zation, which 13 believed to be proof against the strongest cannonade that can bo directed against it, whether it comes on open fleld or from masked battery. ‘The machinery {s arrangod go as to preserve its symme- trical action and effectiveness of operation, even though its moro important, or what might be called ite leading ay fall to uselessness in destruction or defection. ch officer and man is so appointed as to lapso into the vacant placo ahead, uo matter what may be the charac- tor or manner of the vacancy. ‘The fail of one man or one hundred men cannot divert or ser lously interrapt the movement in its progress as to leaders, ey say theirs is not a system of leaders.

And sho bas Ireland ail this time, “‘her best recruiting, ground,” as the writer confesses. Should she lose this recruiting ground she would evidently be much emt vo operate matters even as they stand now. But the shock of an Irish revolution will be felt all through the Br.tish domin‘ons, and nocess tate larger armies abroad, She cannot get them from the peoples concerned. On the contrary, a few Fenian emissaries could atir up revolt in the most secure of her foreign pos- sessions.

Half her entire army (eighty thousand) are al- r ady required to keop down the cepoys. If, na it is pro- babl>, the central Irish revolutionary arm in Ireland can: wield’a weapon in each colony, Britain must go out to tho rescue or loose her possessions, her prestige and in- calc alable commercial advantages and wealth. Some of her colonies she can, and probably will, let ‘0; but she cannot afford to release others. ich as has n tho field for plunder in Ireland, India is a source of ton times the wealth to England. It is, too, the grand basis from which she can operate on the immense fleld which Asia presents for the prosecution of her peculiar — self-remunerative) “civilization.” She would not jose India for a dozen Irelands. Consequently sh? will havo to send at least thirty. to forty thousand troops there every year that the Irish war is waged. ‘The army of England is at present about one hundred and forty-seven thousand men. Deducting the cighty thousand located in India she has sixty-seven thousand left to take care of New Zealand, Australia, the West In- dies, Canada, England, Scotland, and finally Ireland. Possibly half the number, or thirty-three thousand five hondred, will do for all the other places, enabling her to send the other thirty-three thousand five hundred at once to Ireland. Twelve or fifteen thousand recruits may be obtained in about six months ora year; then there will be fifty thousand British troops to operate ayainst Ireland. Perhaps the most superhuman exertions id result in raising her Irish invading army to ono udred thousand men. This would be more than dow ble the strength of cither her Waterloo or Crimean army, the greatest force she has ever been able to concentrate in any war. IRELAND'S PEOPLE—DISTRIBUTION—AGGREGATE. ‘There are in Ireland to-day about six millions of poo- ple. They are not all identified with the Fenian move- ment, and some, for instance the romnant of Orangeism, do not wish it to succeed. Of such, however, ther? aré not perhaps twenty thousand, and in revolutionary times these would be absorbed by tho national army. At all events the anti nationalists in Ireland are not more num- crows proportionately than wero the revolutionary tories in America or similar retrogressionists in other countries striking for freedom and new institutions, ‘As for opposition of other kinds, it will nocessarily disappear as soon as the initiation of the war leaves but two sides to the question. The opposition of the Roman Catholic clergy, next to that of Orangeism the stronzest, founded as it is for the most part on a matter cf | pond will eventually merzo into acquiescence whon it is secn that a trial of strength on the battle field is now inevit- able, If thers are any clergymen whos? opposition to the Irish republican body proceeds upon an apprehen- s'on that the coniagion of revolution in Iroland would spread through the Continent and agitate the uncasy spirits of Italy, they would assuredly b» left alone in their UReehabent for once a war rages between the native republicans and the foreign monarchists, no possible out- side consideration could stay a single Celtic arm. The war cry would then be, “Ireland a republic, or the world in a blaze!"” Another class who stand aloof as yet from the national movement aro the capitalists, But capital has always the privilose ef waiting tll the revolutionary workers demonstrate a determivation, skill and power befitting, on the part of the body of the people, tho objects they propose to themselves and the country. These men will accept the new government as soon as it has ade fact» existence, and should any refuse allegiance they would, of coarse, experience in property, at least, at the hands of the national government, the usual treatment of refractory citiz ns. It is the organized minority that generally effects revolition, its combinations, if worth anything, even- tually embracing the whole’ people in their operation. ‘The Fen'an movement has already the bone and sinew of the land; its numbers areas largo as the projectors desire, and ite system of plans is of the most elaborate and consummate character.

These may be made ava lable for many practical purposes, and itis no exag- on {o place the Irish population iv favor of expell- ¢ English rule and instituting a free, republican gov. ernment in Ireland at 20,000,000. We have seen that England has virtually a counter population of not moro than one-half that number. And we shall now glance at the probable warlike operations of both parties. THE FIGUT—THE BATTLE GROUND, The expulsion of “the British garrivon” will of course be the first work attempted by the Feniaua. They are confident of doing that without difficulty, Their speak- ers have announced that the Irsh republicans could at any time during the past six months have obtained pos. session of the land; but the policy was not to do so until they should have azgregnted suflicient means to hold the country in despite of any force that could b» directed aga Tist them. It is auserted that each post is “marked”? and each locality “cared for” by a sufliciont number to carry out any order they may receive, aud for the rest, Full many a loyal Irish heart ‘Throbs ‘neath an English cout. ion a a tank the wernt Le ed proclaim the Tepublican governmen' ‘operate thenceforward as a bona nation. Thers are certain national and in! advantages attendant on this po A re will be obvious to the revolutionary judent But the Fenians calculate, very naturally, that, no matter how clean a sweep they make of the present gar- rison, the Englieh will sneceed ia landing armies there. after, and to ight these skilfully and effectively has been the study of many a year, They propose to Pay them back woe for woo, Give them back vlow for blow. But it is not expected that this will be done above board. The revolutionary soldiers will have such a i eaten: Se as — advantages wi overlooked, ireland, 8, Features ‘that can be made very avallable'an obetactos to invading and regular armies.

To evoke and ticalize @ general sentiment on the American continent favovable to Irish independence. 2. ‘To organize and wield in the revolutionary conflict the intelligence, wealth and voluntary physical force of the Irish American population. Neither of these necessarily includes a descent in force upon Ireland, and the plana of the I R. B. do not con- template as ‘an essential such enterprise. Such would bea welcome auxiliary, yel not expected as a certainty. ‘The closest blockade of the Irish coast cannot affect tho successful movement as far as_the American Feu‘an Brotherhood is concerned. And this is also the casa with every other friendly Powor outside the island itself. FORT RRIN—PROVISIONS—RECRUITS. But the blockade will affect the people themselves. Let as see. As to provisivns she differs entirely from England in producing every year more food than is ne- cessary to feed twice her population. In the very “famine year’ of 1845-6 she exported an immense amount of grain, flour, pork, &c. Tho farmors had to sell it “to make the rent” for the pro-British tandlords, “Thus it is at present, and the expulsion of the British would give the Irish’ command of cularged agricultural facilities—capablo, in fact, of supporting an army of a million of men, together with the general population, Furthermore, the hardy boys and healthy patriot women could pervorm ali the agricultural duties, for the soil is remarkably kind and requires precious little “coaxing”? to yield its rich fruits. Hence the whole able-bodied str-ngth of the country could devote its attention to the tented ficld, its subs'stence for an unlimited period be ng thus assured. In the maiter of replenishing the depleted ranks, a wise Providence has provided nature with ample re-- perative powers in extraordinary crises, Ths general physiological truth is supereminently applicable to the rich Celtic race. It is, in fact, not an unusual thing in Ire'and to-day to mect families containing fifteen to twenty members. Much of the facts contained in thise article are furnished by an Irishman fresh from tho sod, who is himsolf the tenth son and tho fourteenth of the family, An island whose prolificncss in a few score of years scatters twenty millions of people broadcast over the world will not fail to afford ample means of perpetu- ally recruiting a delivering army of a milion of men. Impregnable from without, then, and possessed of in- ternal means of support and reciperation to an untim. ited extent, a blockade would not be so disastrous to the Irish as is gen rally supposed. Were her seaporis shelled and scouts compelled to retire beiore gunboats, she could withdraw inland, and it is the settled opinion of military critics that “from her nourishing and generative ca- pacity, Wortress Erin could exist, eveu though she were surrounded by a wa'lof brass or of flaming fire.”” WHO 18 RULER OF THE WAVES? —PRIVATEERS. ‘We have proceeded thus far upon the hesis that a blockade is possible. This, however, is by no means certain. England has undoubtedly a most powerful wooden navy. This style of vessels is, 1t is true, some- what obsolete now; st li her naval power is undisputed. But she has an immense mercantile marine, and this bas to be protectsd. It is spread all over tho world, and holds out such incontives to privateeramen that the seas will naturally swarm with vessels of marque lettcred by the Irish government. The Irish republic will havo frionds everywhere, and, besides, adventurous spirits in this and other countries, who shall see that fortunes aro to be made in th's way with fabglous case, will fit out with alacrity an impromptu “neutrality”? ‘navy which will pounce upon the rich argosies of Britannia with in- catcnlable audacity and effect. If we are correctly in- formed, thore are already before the provisional revola- tionary’ authorities applications for letters of marque from inany countries. Now, if England fa'ls to convoy each merchant ship—if she permits depredations on her comm ree (and it will not be easy to prevent them) ber mercantile community and the industrial interests de- endent ther-on will promptly and emphatically dissent From tho ‘waging of a war whic. entails auch disaster on themseives while it is most provokingly enriching the young republic. At all events this feature of the coming fight is fraught with events which will impose a heavy draft upon the navy of England. But the Irish coast is very hard to blockade. There are one hundred and sixty fine harbors, This blockading service alone would require an immense navy, aud under the circumstances it is doubtful if England can send the required fleets. Very few naval laurels, how- ever, ure to b» reaped by Britain in the coming war, and,’ as we have seen, the sea swarms with prizes whict the Trish partisans will scarcely neglect pickin up. We may observe here that the strength of England bas always lain in the sea, and it must be manifest to ali that the Trish straggle will afford poor scope to this right arm of hers. e This Irish revol:tio it is admitted by all to be a most elaborate one. It is stamped with statisti al calculation from the beginning, the proverbial od siasm of the people concerned is practically eschew as an clement of success, and, profiting by the lessons of their own and their neighbors’ experience, the manag re have four all their workings and hopes of final tri- umph vpon their ability inmen aud military resources to navgurate and protect their government ‘against the hostility and encroachments of a nation of acknowledged zucity and prowess. ‘Tho recent arrests and general quictneas of the revolu- tionary or pnyaarion bospeak the uimost determination on thé part of the orgihlzed Irish people to husband the'r resourecs through every siorin till the proper mo. ment for developing their schemes and pushing the con- flict to the last extreme. The policy of the Fenians in permitting the excitoment to waft itself away is clever and adroit. We shall most probably during the coming wooks hear very little of drilling or demonstrations in Ireland. The I. R. B. is so well in hand that it will, if necessary, calmly close its eyes in apparent slumber until it is ordered to bound up and senda home thrust in upon the flashed “government.” In the meantime one thing is certain—that a ficree and bloody fight between England and Ireland cannot now be averted, and that fight will rock Europe and {ts institutions to' the very base. It may result, too, in the establishment of a re- public in Ireland, IRELAND A REPUBLIC—COUP D'OEIL. In this immense country people necessarily possess large ideas, Thus, when a country is pointed to as smalter than one of our own States, we are likely to laugh at tho idea of its becoming a distinct sovereign na- tion. So it would be laughable under our system. Bat this is a new world, and thore is an old one with its old system, and wo must, if possible, let ourselves down to o'r standard if we would form judgment on Old World matters. Our State of New York, then, is as large as the whole of Great Brita! There are only, say three or four nations in Europe larger than this single State of the American Union. jr than New York, bade supports twice our population. One hi compu the Irish population, several centuries ago, at twelve mil- hens, It has now six miilions, Those who have cx- amined its Industrial a its commercial facilities, ite mining wealth, its Osheries, its water power and manu. facturing powers, its unreclaimed “lanes ‘bog and orumpeall, unused, undeveloped, ed or neg. lected by tho operation of jealous foreign laws—pro- nounce, es a mature judgment, that twenty to te five mulions of people could exist in affluence under the flag of afreo Ireland. Such a lation would readily constitute one of the happrest most powerful peoples: of the world As it stands to-day Ireland is inferior in extent and population to only five or six of the twenty or thirty na- tions that have in Europe an independent existence.

It ia only the former weakness of her people in first accepting Pope Adrian's order of tranefor, and, secondly, yielding to the vices that were taught them for a purpose, which has kept her down, a shameful exception to the genvral rule, ‘Tho Irish revolutionists tnay or may not be wise in in scribing republicanism upon the national banner. They are right, and “Right will win as God is God.” The monarchs will be jealous, of ise, They will frown it down if they can quietly, butthe people of Fiance, al- ways organized for revolution, will not brook imperial overt acts against the young republic.
