The Fenian Difficulties. The Philadelphia Circle of the Fenian Brotherhood met at their hall last evening, and elected Mr. Michael Caville and Mr. James Monaghan as representatives :to the congress to assemble on next Tuesday, at New York. . . The following preamlile4tid resolutions - were also unanimouslyplolted: Whereas,We the membs of the Phila delphia Cicle of the Fent& Brotherhood lave witnessed with extrude regret the dis csrdant elements whichi*thave recently divided our counsels and attempted to divert the attention of the Brotherhood from the grand object for which it was formed, viz : the rescue of our native land from the thrall dom of a foreign monarchy and the estab ment of an'lrish Republic, based on the grand principles of liberty as taught by the founders of the American Union; And whereas, In view of the coming ses sion of the Fenian Congress, it is fitting that we should express our opinions on the question at issue, which we have arrived at after due deliberation consistent with its importance. ' • _Resolved, That we, in common with most of the Brothers oethe' Order, were of the opinion that the new constitution of the Brotherhood, adopted at the Philadelphia Congress, was modelled after the Constitu tion of the United States, vhich, in cases of impeachment of the President or Vice Pre sident, require 'the impeachment to be made by the House of Representatives ' and the trial by the Senate; and we learn with much surprise that the Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood presume to follow the rules of despotic governments, and act as accusers as well as judges and jury. And we recom mend to our delegates, in the congress to be assembled, to endeavor, if they find that the Senate has by any trick invested them selves with any such power, to amend the constitution so that its meaning may be more consistent with the rules of a repub lican form of government. _Resolved, That we protest against the recent action of the so-called Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood, and regard their con duct in spreading before the world, through the press, a tissue of falsehoods, unsup ported by any facts whatever, as a repre hensible and traitorous attempt to injure the cause and bring the organization into disrepute. Resolved, That we cordially approve of the action of the President, Col. John O'Mahony, in Ailing a Congress of the Brotherhood, to meet in New York, on Jan. 2d, 1866, to inquire into and investigate the cause of the present troubles, and inflict punishment on the guilty parties; that we regard the disposition ,shown on the part of the so-called Senate to oppose the assem bling of the said Congress as an evidence of their desire to evade such an investigation, and thus prevent the members of the Fenian Brotherhood from obtaining a full and fair understanding of the causes of the difficulty; and we earnestly request our brethren of all the circles throughout the United States to co-operate with us, whether they agree with us or not, in sending delegates to the said Congress, so that the said investigation may be impartial and satisfactory. Resolved, That we heartily approve of Col. 0' Mahony's course; in all respects, as faithfully representing the true objects of our mission. Resolved, That we repudiate any action of Tames Gibbons, of Philadelphia, as a so called Senator; that we have long regarded his connection with the, Brotherhood as a misfortune, believing him to have been con nected with it purely for personal prodt,and that his offer of a reward 0f.51,000 dollars to - any nun who would prove that he induced him to become a member of the organiza tion was sufficient evidence of his useless. ness as well as faithlessness to the cause. - from California, China and Japan. SAN FRANCISCO ' Dec. 26.—Advices from Arizona represent that there is constant fighting between the Apache Indians and the white settlers. Twenty-eight soldiers, :Who were sent out on the let of November, are missing. Legal tenders are selling in this city at 65c.; Ophir Mining shares, $350; Savage, $940; Imperial, $103@105; Chollar Potosi, 1 $145@147; Crown Point, S4SO; Yellow Jacket, ss@s 30. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27. —Hong Kong advices to October 20th, have been received, being sixty-two days later than those pre viously received. The steamer Wautah was reported captured by pirates, while on her way from Shanghai to Foo Chow. Piracy in\ Chinese waters is on the increase. Foreign ' relations with China are quite ont of joint, owing to the mandarin worshiping policy which characterized the policy of Sir F. Bruce. The district lying southeast of Pekin has been ravaged by troops of a, bandit cavalry body of one hundred and eighty mounted rancheros, who made a raid to within two hundred miles of the capital. A force was sent out after them, but they made good their escape. The last strong • hold of the rebellion in the province of the ICangsi is reported totbe evacuated. The insurgents, it is added, retreated to Fukeia. The Mohammedan rebels at Fung Kann, in Shensi, had surrendered, and were sla.ugh teredto a man. Intelligence from Japan respecting foreign affairs is very satisfactory. The quarrel between the Tycoon and Prince Nagato has been settled. A steamer had been an nounced to leave Yokohami, direct for Suez, the inducement being the conveyance of silk worm eggs. Silk seems to be plentiful in Japan, but scarce in China. SAiv usicisco, Dec. 27.—Sailed, ship Isaac Jeanes, for New York. The ship Miskilmansey brings Australian advices to October 4th. Parliament was disorganized by the resignation of the President of the Council' and Attorney- General. Extensive frauds have been discovered in the Bankof South Australia.

The Paraguayans have withdrawn en tirely across the Upper Parana, oat of Cor rientes. The Brazilian fleet is at the mouth of the Paraguay, and the Allied army has crossed the river Corrientes, on its march to Parana, near Gaza. It will be sent in vessels up that river to the point selected for its ope rations. NEW YORK Dec. X.—News from South America and St. Thomas says:— The 2d of December was the fortieth an niversary of the birth-day of the Emperor, and was observed in Brazil with popular rejoicings. The Emperor released a number of prisoners. - The. American emigrants, chiefly South , erners, represented by Col. Wcod, have selected a site for a town near - Raragnora.

There is no change in the position of military affairs. No battle had taken place. The Brazilian 'army has been suffering severely from -sickness, and many of the Paraguayan prisoners drafted into the army` hae - died: The Bruzilian squadronfe maned at Corrientes. The Rio de Janeiro ,papers, are filled with" , official reports of the army movements and battles announced here by previous arrivals. From Colorado. ATCHISON, Kansas, Dec. 27.—Messrs. Chaffee and Evans, United States Senators from Colorado, have arrived here, and re port a 'uniform confidence among the people of Colorado on the prompt admission of that State into the Union, every important condition of the Enabling Act having been complied with. The Legislature passed a joint resolution requesting the President, if be did not deem himself authorized to pro claim the State in the Union, to urge Its early adnaission upon Congress. Resolutions guaranteeing the ratification of the anti slavery amendment to the Constitution were also passed. From Naiftwillle. NAM:WILL; Dec. 27.—The river is still rising rapidly, with 25 feet of water on the shoals. The transactions in cotton are light, prices ranging from 38 to 41c. Shipments,l7o bales; receipts, 75. A man named Fayette Goodwin was killed to-day by one Dick Dobbs. Two policemen, named Frame and Waber, had a difficulty yesterday, which resulted in the shooting of Frame, whose wounds are thought to be mortal. Terrible Explosion at Dubuque, lowa. DUBUQUE, lowa, Dec, 2S.—Jaeger tit Co.'s distillery was blown to atoms by an explo sion of the boiler, in the engine room, to day. Most of the employes were at dinner, there being but eight persons in the building at the time. A fireman was killed, but none others were seriously injured. The loss amounted to $60,000, which was insured against fire for $25,000. THE UNITED STATES OF COLOMBIA.- General Don Eastorgia Sal Gariras was in troduced to the President by the Secretary of State, and delivered his credentials as Envoy Exttraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary of the United States of Colombia. He made the following remarks on the oc casion : "Your Excellency— The Government of Colombia, solicitous to foster and encourage the friendly stipulations that have formed the matter of special treaties between the two nations, has lately conferred upon me the character of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary near the govern ment of your Excellency. The feeling or perfect understanding and cordiality whicu the two countries have reached, the increase of their mutual commercial transaetious, and their topographical and political condi tion are worthy of special consideration. For this reason I heartily congratulate my self on placing in the hands of your Excel cellency, as I do, the autograph letter of the President of Colombia according to me the mission to preserve add render advanta geous a friendship that rests on such legiti mate interests, and to present my respectful deference to your Excellency; hoping that I may continue to deserve your confidence and benevolent consideration." To which the President replied as follows: "Gtotera/—lt was with sincere regret that I recently received your letter of recall. I need not say,therefore, that it is with sincere satisfaction that I now receive the letter which accredits you again as Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary ot . the United States of Colombia to this Gov ernment, I renew on this oocasion my fdrruer assurance of friendship and good will to your countrymen and to your C3llll try, and of parsonal esteem to yourself." POSTAL AFFAIRS.—The Post Office De partment, has awarded contracts for service on forty routes in Virginia and West Vir ginia. These routes, for which offers have been made since the regular biddings two mouths ago, will cover nearly the whole of those States not then am arded with immediate postal facilities. The mail service in North Carolina is in greatly in creased demand, numerous fifers being made, and to-day upwards of thirty routes were let. All the service willgo into opera tion on New Year's day. Contracts for service in South Carolina, Georgia, and other Southern Suites, are also being dis posed of. In the appointatent office corre sponding efforts are progressing for the re opening of the post offices in every Southern and Southwestern Slate. The nutnber of such decisions may be set down at two hundred per week. Yesterday Virginia, Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky and Tennesse shared largely. Tnl INDIANS.—Recent reports concern ing the disposition of the various Indian tribes with whom the Government has of late entered into treaty compact, represent a favorable aspect, and perfect confidence exists of a secure and lasting peace hereafter. The parties who made the attack on the Butterfield mail coach, a short time ago,had not been advised of the treaties which had been made. An excellent profile portrait of the President. designed for distribution among those of the Indian chiefs who observe strictly the character and obligation of their treaties with the Government, has been executed on silver by Mr. Paquet, and is pronounced a work of great artistic skill and merit. There has been since the forma tion of the Government, a periodical appro priation for the above object, and it is a significant fact that there is no knowledge of any chief who has thus been favored ever having broken the treaty obligation. THE LA ST OF THE REVOLUTIONARY HEROES. —Only two warriors of all those who participated in the war of the Revolu tion, so far as known by the Commissioner of Pensions, remain alive, namely: William Hutchings, of Penobscot; Hancock county, Maine, aged one hundred and one years, and Samuel Cook, of Clarendon, Orleans county, New York, aged ninety-nine years. Only five widows of Revolutionary soldiers draw pensions from the Government at a yearly amount of two hundred and ninety three dollars. A RAILROAD IN JUDEA.—Two French engineers, pupils of the Ecole Centrale, have just started for Judea, in order to sur vey the line of railroad in course of con structien, and part of which will soon be thrown open to the public. We shall soon hear (says an English journal) of little boys shouting on the platform of the Bethlehem Station, La Patrie, Journal du Soir, Le Moniteur, Morning Star; while at the Capernaum terminus, Guinness's stout and Yorkshire hams will invigorate travelers on their way to Jericho. THE FRACTIONAL CIIRRENCY.—The new five-cent fractional currency will be issued next week. About f;'80,000 worth of defaced and mutilated currency is destroyed, by burning, per day, and $50,000 worth of it is printed; arrangements are nearly completed to make the amount of the latter equal to •the former. Ix compliance with orders issued by Corn modore Shubrick, President of the Light house Board, the light-vessels belonging to the Upper and Lower Cedar Points, in the Potomac river, have been withdrawn from their'stations for the winter.

STATE AND COCTNTY It is one of the most useful inventions for domestic use ever offered to the public.

Clean, very fine and light. This Sifter has no India rubber rollers to grind up the dirt such as bugs. worms, files, But sifts all articles and leaves the dirt remaining in the sieve: the Sifter is made of tin, is very neat anti easy to keep clean It is the only sifter now in use that gives SATISFACTION. Every Sifter is warrant ed to give satisfaction. Be sure and ask for Spencer's Patent Tin Sifter. ._Mr. Barton HUI Mr. Geo, H. Griffith% Wholesale trade supplied on reasonable terms.
