To Aut Wuom rr May Concern: Tn the present momentous crisis of Irish nationality, when in the eyes of the world the question of Ireland’s existence or total extinction as an independent nation seems trembling in the balance, we, the representatives of the republican party in Ireland, deem it our duty to make known to all true sympathizers with our down- trodden race and oppressed nationality, that we have taken our final stand on the high vantage ground of self- reliance—that, taught by years of bitter experience, we no longer base our hopes of success upon the co-opera- tion of our countrymen in America; and that we repu- diate, once and forever, the degrading doctrine that Irish liberty and Irish rights are not to be won without assistanee from foreign and external sources. No longer shall we be dominated by the autocratic dicta of a single will; no longer shall the destinies of our race hang upon the strength or weakness’ of a single mind. Our lost opporturfities and blighted hopes proclaim, trumpet- tongued, that the time for such feudal administration of our affairs is past. From a deep conviction of this truth we, the repub- lican representatives of Ireland, formed, on” the 17th inst., @ Directory, with supreme control of the organiza- tion, On the 24th inst. we became aware of the action of our countryman in America in the deposition of Mr. Stephens and the election of General Gleeson to the vacant head centreship. While viewing these matters with indifference and as entirely unconnected with our- solves, we still trust that we retain the sympathy of our expatriated countrymen, wherever they are to be found. But not to them alone do we appeal for sympathy; when our struggle for independence shall be inaugurated the world shall behold the champions of liberty of every race and every nationality rallying round our banner of rights, Then, and not till then, shall the soldier and thé*patriot’ be recoguized for his true worth, and the self-sufficient fool and intriguing coward forced to wal- tow im-the mire of bis own intamy. Ere long shalt tho world behold the gpectacle of a na- tion uprising in ite might, strong in its self-confidence and conscious right, to win its way to its legitimate place amoug the peoples of the earth, or set mid a halo of blood and glory which shall serve as a lode-star of liberty to future ages and saccéeding generations. Remembering always that Fortune favors the brave and enterprising, however adverse she may appear for & time, we rosolve to commit ourselves to onergetic and independent action, es the only course now befitting ‘brave and honorable men, sedulously eschewing for the future all unnecessary exposure of our plans by public displays of lip-patriotism. Such being the sentiments which actuate us, we shall enter fearlessly upon the course we have marked out— and.may God defend the Right * THE FENIAN PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. Our special correspondence from Ireland, dated in the last month of the past year, indicated very plainly to tho readers of the Henatp the Fenian pian of campaigs, and that the topographical arrangements embraced the very disiricts now in revolt, (Dublin (Dec. 12, 1866) correspondence of the Henao.) Although the grea est secr cy ig exercised by the Fe- nian Jeaders as to their plan of operations, all things seem to point to the south of Ireland as the probable part where their operations will commence, A very large quantity of arms has been brought into southern towns and secreted. The inhabitants are nearly all Fenian sympathizers, and the peasantry ready at a moment’s notice to rise. Every one not joining in these opinions, that could get away, has left the districts, 90 that the Fenians can measure the force they have to meet by the number of military and constabulary, assisted by resident magistrates and gentry, who are braving the matter out and remaining there, AN IRCH QUADRILATERAL, forned by Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Kilkenny, will be most likely the headquarters of the Fenian forces With possess on of these four towns they com- mand the whole South of Ireland. ’ ‘The rising will, it is sald, be simultaneous in each place, and directod by officers.who gained their experi- ‘once in the late American gontest, One branch of shetr forces is to bold possession of the Southern coast end towns, the other will push up northward, fortifying each town as they enter it. THE SCENE OF REVOLT. ‘The latest despatches to the Hxratp through the cable state the Fenian insurrection is so far confined to the counties of Kerry and Cork, of which we publish a map to-day. MALLOW JUNCTION is the point at which the great southern and western railroad of Ireland rw to Cork branches off to Killarney. It is near the town of Mallow, which is a parliamentary borough, and @ permanent station ofa large detachment of the British troops, It 1 built on the river Blackwater, which is here spanned by an old Stone bridge of fifteen arches, As a secne of battle Mallow is associated with glorious memories in the minds of the Irish people, for near to the town, on the river, was fought the great battle of Blackwater, in which the Irish defeated the English some centuries since, and trem which they marched on to another victory over their enemy at Benburb, The town has sbout ten thou- sand inhabitants, KILLARNEY, the town near which the first rising took place, and from which we have English accounts of “riot and pillage and the murder of a coastguard man," is situated about the centre of the county Kerry, and is a town of hittle im- portance and of no military name, Interest attaches to it only ag the point of rendezvous and entertainment of the many tourists to the famous lakes and scenery of Killarney. « ENMARE, ‘another town in the county Kerry, and embraced by the insurrection, 1s about thirteen miles southwest of Kil- Jarney on the road from Cork to Cahirciveen. It is situ. ated at the head of Kenmare Bay, and has a commodi- ous pier and harbor approachable from the ocean by vessels of latge burden. Kenmare bay is wide at its ‘entrance, very deep and easily navigable. VALENTIA ISLAND is well known as the European terminus of the Atiantio cable, It 1 off the coast of Kerry, and separated from the main land by a strait « mile add « half in width, ‘TRALER is the chief town of Kerry and a military station of con-_ siderable importance. It is in the northern portion of the county and is connected with Killarney by a branch railroad, It is approachable from the ocean by venscla of threo hundred tons burden, and is tte seat of a brisk trade in grain and flour. ? THE FENIANS IN NEW YORK, Since the first young days of Femianism—and that’s along time ago—none of the spasmodic fite of excite- ment with which that organization had been secus- tomed to pain, and afterwards disappoint the public mind, bas been equailed in intensity amd reesived with such enthusiasm and interest as that which was caused yesterday by the message finshed through the deep bine waters of the Atlautic, which arrived fe thiscity, THE FENIAN RISING.
