4, ‘STEPHENS’ VERDICT AGAINST O'MAHONY, ‘O’Mahony Tactics and Senato- ; rial Strategy. ‘THE COMPROMISE MOVEMEN Citizens and Workers Bitter Against the Belligerents. A LIVELY CHRISTMAS IN FENIA, &o. &. ae. During the latter part of last week the close observer ‘might have discovered the workings of an undercurrent coursing its still and deep way through the regions of Fenianism in this city. Its workings were confined strict- jy within the Fenian realms. To the outer world all was noiseless, but it was in vain that efforts were made to disguise that they were as ominous as they were noiseless, Those within the respective rings had that on their faces which plainly told the tale of grave doings. Our report- ers read the symptoms, and were instantly on the alert, ‘Two days’ search resulted in little more than a mere clue tothe matter, This morning, however, we are enabled to give a pretty full exposé of the whole development. RIVALRY OF THE FACTIONS FOR STEPHENS’ FA- VOR—THEY “THREATEN HIM ON EACH OTHER’? AND FIRE THE LEGIONS WITH THE HOPE OW HIS COMING SANCTION. The readers of the daily press of this city may have noted the stress which both parties to the Fenian quarrel have laid upon their particular devotion to the 1. R. B. and its chief, and the peculiar confidence which he re- posed in them, The O'Mahony party vied with the Senate party in doing tribute to Stephens, and in proclaiming their anxi ty to hear his voice on this difference, assured that it ‘would ‘‘sustaim the regular (O’Mabony) government and brand the Senatorial traitors as they deserved.” On Saturday the O’Mahony interest issued a statement re- newing and elaborating their protestations of tove for Stephens, declaring that “‘the closest confidential rela- tionship, intellectually, socially and officially, existed from earliest boyhood’’ between Stephens and O'’Mabony, and hinting that documents wore in esse which placed beyond all doubt the fact that James Stephens would searoely walt to ask one question before proceeding to condemn the non-O’Mahonyites as traitors in the pay of England, &c. Th's following on the hee atatements of O’Muhony Manhattan speakers thi held in their hands letters trom Stephens himeelf, which they should refrain from reading lest their hearers should risé {n bloody rage against the deep-dyed traitors of the so-called Senate,” gavo shape and force to the opinions which have been planted in the breasts of the supporters of Mr. O’Mahony that O'Mahony was the onc undoubted. and trusted triend and representative of the I. R. Chief Executive, and the “agent of the Irish republic in Ame- % ‘ ‘ The O'Mahony men were very much cheered by this confirmation of the faith they were disposed to rope in “their iNustrious President,” Through all the favorable circles the tidings sped. All were strengthened and en- couraged, and at noon on Saturday the Union square po- sition was literally deemed “impregnable to any force the enemy could bring against it.” SENATORIAL DEVELOPMENTS—I.

It may jar against cherished feelings or grate harshly upon the dictates of conscience; but if the cry of “Away with O'Mahony, Roberts, Sena- tors, troubadours and all,” will bring ‘peace to the old hearth again, there will be very few qualms of conscience on the part of the honest toilers who would ring it up to the lustiest thunder of an old fashioned Trish hurrah, The matters on the tapis for the coming week are of some interest; but the developments and grave official docoments are about exhausted. Am Officer in the Fenian Army on the Situation. 70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The disgraceful Fenian imbroglio, which is now cithor disgusting or amusing the unsympathizing portion of the public and bringing hot shame to the face of every Irish- man, whatever may be his creed or love or hate of Eng- judging from past experience of poor human Irish nature, destined to eventuate in the disruption of the Brotherhood, and probably the formation of two or- ganizations, having diametrical views as to the seat of war and the mode of carrying on operations against the common enemy, and viewing each other's discomfiture (for defeat and discomfiture are sure to follow under such auspices) with complacency, if not with pleasure, The writer of this would wish to see Mr. O’Mabony and the Senate resign their positions simultaneously, and thus show themselves worthy the name of patriots; for experience has taught us the impossibility of healing wounds 60 penelly lacerated by the intemperate and criminal allegations which have appeared in the public press; and their continuing to refuse compromise or reconciliation only proves that instead of pure love of Ireland and honor they are actuated by the basest motives of selfishness and lust of salary. They can only escape from this stain by regign- ing. Mr. O’Mahony’s card denouncing twelve of the fifteen. Senators (chosen three months ago by Fenian Brotherhood as their representatives) as “traifbrs, ro- coiving British gold,” is an gutrage on tho whole trish Face; so indiscreet, senseless and un) ay only to be palliated by the hope that jor. alone was the prompter of the ill-natured ebullit Tend many others firmly believe such to be the ease, for Mr, O’Mahony is an honest man, and, though a perfect im- becile in mattere of business, is a warm lover of his country; and*in the ordinary state of bis mind would have recoiled with horror from the idea of flinging this base allegation at the Senate, which he must have Known would have boen the signal for the disgrace and dis- ruptic of the organization. Even in his best time Mr. O'Mahony never had the abilities to conduct an orgunization liko that of the Fenian Brotherfiood to a successful issue. What would be said of the American people if they had selected a third rato ach anes from the wilds of Oregon, unknown by either ffs writings, oratory or ai inmenta, to conduct the government of the United States through the late rebellion, and who insisted not only on Lars private friends in salaried tions against the voice the Senate, bat also told military commander--say, for le, Grawt—thut he, O'Mahony, was the direc- tor, organizer and commander of the Fenian army? ‘Such is a direct and parallel example. O’Mabony re- fused to permit the Secretary of War-—an officer of eigh- toen years’ service in the United States army, and known to every citizen in the republic asa gallant general—to exercise his military functions, excopt euch as he, O’Ma- hony, would first approve of and set in motion, Now, I am mistaken iu the shrewd sense of my countrymen if profer the generalship of Mr. O'Mahony, with egammon”’ experience in battle, to that of the less pretentious General T.

Indeed, the fruits of O’Mahony’s military genius, in opening the campaign last fall, havo eventuaced in sending his noee victims of the “skirmish line’’ to “British hulka.’’ —. staff—all of whom are professional gentlemen in their respective arms—have gone over with the Secre- of War to the Senate. 0 Adjutant General is a momber of the “Carroll of Carroliton”’ family, a West Point officer, and comrade and friend of Phil Kearny. Ho commanded a brigade for the Sultan during the Crimean war, wrote several military works, and is honored by Charles Dickens in “Household Words” (vol. 13, p. 46 to 86) for his prowess and scientific writings. The Chief Engineer is also an author on “Military Evolations and Combinations,” and served on engincer- ing duty on the staff in the Army of the Potomac and South’ west. The Chief of Ordnance is a Belgian artillery officer, in- trusted by. his government to inspect the orduance am- munition of other conntries, and is an inventor of some new shells, highly approved by the United States army and Ki officers. Engineer is recommended to the Secre- tary of War by the gallant General Logan as not having a “superior in the Moped Fare} army for scieutitic and Practical engineoring, abi valor.” ‘The junior aids and others have served on the staily of our best generals, and come highly recommended. On the other side of the picture contrast the gen: staff said to Be now forming by Mr. O'Mahony. The retary of War whorreplaces General T. W. Sweeny is re- stro to bea deserter from the ranks of the United army, without name, fame or military exporience. The new Adjutant General is said to be a young, amiable, honest farmer, who camo to America ia 1860, without the slightest military knowledge; became o Neutenant colonel during the iate war, and Inst week [ saw a statement, bearing the signaturo of Major Genoral Webb, United States Army, commanding the Department of the Atlantic, that he had this lieutenant colonot placed under arrest for ‘want of soldierly courage and for stam- peding’’ during one of the lator battles in Virginia. God ‘knows it pains me to write the above, and T am only driven to do so by the hope that my kind, honest hearted countrymen will be able, after reading It, to in Fee aot Puig] and see if I have oxuggerated. I need ly add that I am personally responsible for these statements and only actuated by a love of our cause; and when I aid that Iam scarcely acquainted personally with either Mr. ©’Mahony, Mr. Roberts, or the Senate, or his intended now staf and Secretary of War, and have no personal fecling in the maticr, they willor should understaud my patriotisin, Tam ono of those who wonld say to both parties, “Re- concile your disagreements, or else stand out of the ‘arena’ and make way for purer minded and lous selfish men, What care we for your Joss of place and salary and miserable bickerings ? earn ap honest living by your exertions, as we are forced to do, for the funda of the Fenian Brothechood were given, not to afford continaous support to an imbecile gang, but for the purchase of can- non, muskets, ‘and the immediate mobijization of the Fe- nian army.” rother Irishmen, are we, who are second to no other race or people in ancient or modern times in military prowess and the intellect to lead armies, to be paralyzed and made subjects of ridicule by a miserable clique, or seo the countrymen of Sarsdold, Lord Clare, Wellington, Napier and Marshal MacMahon ied into action by men who never saw a battle?

AN IRISH FENIAN, Drcxm nen 25, 1966, Canada for the Fen: TO THE TOR OF THE If there is any different in Fenian councils as to theirwar programme, allow me to state my reasons in favor of making Canada thelr first objective point. It is well known that, notwithstanding the assurance of a cer tain Cabinet officer that our own rebellion would be crushed in mimety days, it took a dea! longer timo to accomplish it, Tt js, therefore, safest to infer that it would take some time to establish » republic in Treland, ticularly if we to judge by John Bull's well nown perinarity Roe holding on to what he once gets in his grasp, Would it not, then, bo art of good generalship to first obtain a depot for the umulation of arms and the munitions of war that could always be depended on? The very men that could squash monar- chy in Canada could there build seagoing Monitors, arm them with twenty-inch guns, and, supplying them with petroleum for fuel (which only takes up one-third the space of coal), convoy fleets and land supplies in spite of opposition ; could mannfacturo powder, could arti, oquip and man privateers, and thus fill the coffers for carrying on the war ont’ of John Bull's own pocket; and all this without thoir friends in the United States committing any breach of neutrality, ontli at last the commerce of the ruler of the waves Would be swopt off the osean.

RAID TO BE MADE ON MORMONISM. Mormonism looms up as the next hobby before the country.

Boaron, Dec. 25, 1865. Tho schooner Haines, Captain’ Fttrup, from Hayti, of and for Boston, with a cargo of logwood, &c., went ashore during the gale of Friday night on the south side of ‘Nantucket and all hands perished. Her crew consisted of seven men. One body was found on the beach. The veasel’s boat was found upset about half a mile from the wreck. The crew probably endeavored to save them- selves in it, but were capsized before reaching land. The vessel and cargo were owned by A. §, and W. @ Lewis. The ship Milton, for Bombay, at anchor in the harbor, is aground on the flats, kecled over, and may be badly strained. Lows of the Schooner Buena Vista.

In tho ordo of the church to-day is set down as the fea- tival of St. Stephen, the first martyr.

St. Louis, Mo., his lately lost two remarkable person- ages, one of whom, s WOMAN, was a curiosity; the other, @ man, was a fine character. Tho woman, Elizabeth Ortes, was one hundred and six years old at the timo of her death, and her personal recollections grasp the tre- mendous sweep of nearly a century of time. When she was born—at Vincennes, Ind., September 27, 1759—there was no State of Indiana; indeed, there was no United States. She was ten years old when Napolcon was born, and survived him over forty years. When she was born Washington was a youngster of twenty-seven, courtii the Virginia belles, in red-heeled shoes of the last ry, Or discussing the last news from England on Fairfax Green with other Virginia bloods of that day, What are now the United States were “our loyal colonies” of the British King. The gigantic West was but a gigantic soli- tude of forest, through which the Mississippi wended it way in silent majesty, unobserved by the eyes of white men, except at the little posts of St. Louis, Natchez, New Orleans, and Vincennes, her birth place, she was sixteen years old when the old-fashioned Yankees of Boston town had their tea party in Boston harbor She was thirty-four years old, and had been married twenty years, when Danton, and Marat, and Robes- pierre, and St. Just, and Charlotte Corday, and Verg- miaud, and Madame Roland were playing their parts in the sublime tragedy of the French Revolution. She lived contemporary with persons who had lived contem- Porary with Cromwell, Two such lives as hers would carry us back within Yhirty-three years of the landing of the Mayflower, Her memory was most astonishing, and as she delighted to talk of the early times in St. Louis, and to recount anecdotes of the noted persons she saw in her youth, her company was felt to be an addition to any circle. Her memory could revert to the time when the first church was built in St, Louis—a little log structure om Second street, near Market. She saw the surrender of St. Louis to the Spaniards, and hailed with joy the delivery of the city tothe French again, which occurred in her fortieth year, and was one of the fow now living who saw the Star Spangled Banner float over it the next day, when the French ‘for the last jetime surrendered the possession of tho territory of Louisiana, She shared the history of St. Louis fro that time, when it was a mere public outpost to x: against savages, to the period when it is tho comme a reial centre of a densely populated area, She saw and new the founder of the city, had talked with and witnessed the military display of French commanders, had been on intimate terms with the families of the Spanish gov- ernot Indi nd had shared the torrors and dangers of the attack in 1780. She was born tho subject of the F Kingdom, lived successive French, English, French, Spunizh, and again unde French dominion, and finally became one of the subjects of the republic which united the Western territories of these three powers under one government, Mrs. Ortes’ personal history is brief, Her mother was Margaret Diotremble, and her father, Antonie Barrada, was a gallant soldier who had served several years in the French army, under the command of Louis St. Ange de Bellerive, then the commandant of the post of Vincennes. The year after ber birth Vincennes was surrendered to the English, the French troops retiring to the west side of the Mississippi to the post of St. Louis, which had been founded but a few years before by Pierre Laclede Lignest, Her parents lingered at Vincennes for four years after the birth of their daughter Elizabeth, but their love of their nation aud their detostation of the English led them in 1763 to remove to St. Lonia, where Barrado’s corurades ia arms wero stationed, and which post was com- manded by the general under whom he had served. At the age of fourteen, in 1773, Elizabeth Barrada was mar- ried to Jean B. Ortes, the companion of Lignest, the founder of St. Louis, a native of the same place (ion, upon the borders of France, beneath the shadows of the Pyrenees), and a fellow workman ut the same trades, cabinet making and carpeptering. Ortes died in St. Louis, in 1813, ct the age of seventy-five. Since the death of hor husband Madame Ortes had tived with her son-in-law, Mr. Phillibert, surrounded by hoe children and her grand-children, in the full possession oP hor tac- wlties, retaining her vigor and strength in a romarkable degree. Coicuel John O'Fallon was one of the oldest and most eminent of the citizens of St. Louis. His form, bowed with age, supported by a walking cane, was a familiar one on the street; for he hated to recojnize the work of time, and kept his old place on the street with a determi- ation not to succumb.

The artists, Noel Guidi, Cash Polini, 2{usiani aud Orlandini, were quite up to the mark, Guidi makes @ fine Leonora, and she sang the: rdle last night with great éclat. Musiani was a little husky in some of the lower notes, but as a whole wo hd no fault to find wtih his singing of Manrico, Cwsh Pollini, with her wonderful voice, was listened to with a good deal of astonishment; but it is eviden’ thet the Louisville people have not yet got into the vein of enthusiasm which demonstrates itself in its boisterous applause; for they were more attentive and apparently appreciative than noisy.

The chief novelty in the cast consisted in the substitution of Mr. Patey for Mr. Corrt in the pari of Gil Perez, Although quite out of bis usual range, this low comedy character was warmly applauded. The couplets in which the thievish old servitor gloate over the anticipations of a warm supper, not failing to wind up with the accustomed Deo gratias for stolen food, were loudly oncored. Mr. Patey’s “make up” is said to have been capital. He looked to the life the red nosed, full paunched, low minded sacristan, skulking about the cor. ners of some noble cathedrals in Belg'wm or in Italy. Miss Letter resumed her part of Jacintha, Misa Thirwall that of Brigitta, and Mr. Haigh that of-Horace. The small character of Don Julian was sustained by Mr. Lyall, vice Mr. St. Albyn.

It is almost impossible to di#abuse the whites of every class in these States of the idea that « universal butchering by the freedmen is to take place om Monday next, and be kept up with vigor until after the first proximo, All day to-day, as well as for several days Past, terror-atrickem delegations of these cowardly whites have been pouring into this capital from the ont- lying counties, taking counsel of the United States military authorities, the Freedmen's Bureau, and begging that steps might be taken that would enable the late rebels to compet the now dominant but Feally peacefully inclined negroes to give up their arms, and thus quiet craven fears, These mem have all day sought to impress upon the military authorities the de- tals, ag one of them expressed to me, of “fa cock and bull story, which, whon sifted down, was found, so far as actual proof was coucerned, to have no foundation whatever in fact.” The truth, is the military can dis. cover n0 trace of an intention on the part of the negroos to rive in rebellion, and have consequently rem! the fear aboundi: ions to thelr horaes in the several counties, atill but earnestly praying and’ hop- ing that the military opinions may be the correct ones and that their lives will be spared. These fears of the whites are the natural out, he of a long system of unequalled tyranny practised on the freedmen, who now, toa great exitnt, reaitze that they aro free, because thoy are no longer inbibrted carrying ‘arms for innocent sporting purposes. This long cou- tinued oppression, it ix argued, entitles the startled whites oe liberal on in Ryze bern Ap vane ment for their past sing: wi permitted nothing more than this.
