DEATH QF THE "OLDEST INHABITANT."
—The oldest inhabitant of this part of the
'country, and probably;the oldest person in
ilennsylvania, died on Sunday morning,
- the 24th of December, at Morgautown,Berks
.county. Her name was Martha Barefoot,
or - rather Patty. Barefoot, as she was fami
_Burly known for the last three-quarters of a
-.sentnry. She was born in Amity township,
•arks county, on the 15th of February, 1759,
suad'at the time of her decease was one hun
dred and six years, teri months and nine days
o kJ. The names of her parents were Samuel
and Jean Barefoot, two of the early settlers
of Amity township. In the church regiSter
• of the Morhettin Episcopal Church at Doug
lasville, we find a record of Patty's baptism,
-by Bev. Alexander Murray, an English
Missionary, and at the.time pastor of the
•conggrreegation there. The baptism took place
on the 18th of September, 1778, when she
-was in her7oth year.--Pottstoum Ledger.

UMEM
SAVED HER FROM CHOKING.--SEWS the
Dubuque Tunes— of long since Conductor
Cawley had the blessed privilege of carry
ing out a loving couple, who assumed the
position of "Lord Ullin's Daughter" and
her betrothed, so affectingly described in
the Teachers' Institut6dast week:
"One lovely hand was stretched for aid,
And one was roundher lover"—
Only in his case, instead of one hand being
"stretched for aid," it was where the other
was encircling his inamorata. They had
evidently been up, or at least awake, very
late the evening before, for the train had
not reached Farley, till the female member
of the firm was sound asleep—nothing to be
wondered at, for the position she had as
sumed was in every way favorable to calm
and sweet repose. The by-sitters were sim
ply amused; but Conductor Cawley, more
experienced foresaw serious, if not fatal,
results. Approaching the sleeping maiden,
he took one wrist in his hand, and looking
at his watch with a professional air, after a
few moments addressed the young man—
"My dear sir, do you not see you are kill
ing youtlady?"
"What?" exclaimed the youth, in open
mouthed astonishment.
"Don't you see you axle killing thatyoung
lady? Her pulse is only eighteen to the
minute now, and unless you let go your
hold around her neck, you will have her
choked to death in ten minutes!"
He let go. There was some laughter
among observers, but Cawley passed de
murely on.
GITERILLA OuTRAGE. —Two men by the
name of Shackletts, with another by the
name of Steth, rode into the town of Bran
denburg on Tuesday last and threatened to
take the town. They commenced firing on
the citizens,who rettuned the fire with a good
degree of success, as both of the Shackletts
were wounded, one of them receiving three
shots, but for some reason they were
allowed to get of Steth was captured and
thrown into jail. We had hoped that the
last guerilla outrage in Kentucky had
been chronicled; but we rejoice that this
one met with so effectual a check.—Louis
vine Journat.

WESTERN STEAMBOAT
Loss .of the Fdeanoia Carrel.
Siiki-ng of the Goldena
VERY HEAVY Loss.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial, of Saturday.]
The large and splendid side-Wheel piasen-.
ger steamer, Eleanore Carrel,.CaPt.ain
Oglesby,' while loading at the. Louisville
wharf for New Orleans, accidentally caught
fire in the after part of the texas yesterday,.
at 8.30 A. M. and was burned to the main
deck, when the hull was scuttled, sunk, and
broke in two, proving an almost total loss.
The following despatch gives the details of
the disaster:
LOUISVILLE, January s.—The steamer'
Eleanore Carrel caught fire at eight o'clock
A. M. to-day in the after part of the texas.
By the time the steam fire engines arrived
the upper works were completely enveloped
in flames. A carboy of carbonic acid on the
upper guards exploded, causing consider
able commotion, many thinking there.was
powder on board. By the falling of the
dericks and spars two firemen were seri
ously injured. The boat was finally songled,
sinking to the lower deck at the city wharf
and is yet burning, at 5 P. M., although
three steam fire engines have been at work
all the time. The hull is broken in two.
The Carrel was loading for New Orleans.
The mate lost two hundred dollars and all
his clothing. The ehambermaid lost every
thing. There were several narrow escapes.
One man jumped overboard and broke his
leg, but was saved. Another was dragged
from the hold in a suffocating condition.
The cargo consisted of 96 bundles of
paper, 250 packages of merchandise, 150
kegs and 531 tierces and barrels of lard, 625
sacks of corn, 100 bales of hay, 200 barrels
of whisky, 25 barrels of pork, 100 barrels
of apples, 42 hhds. of tobacco, 100 wheel
barrows, 60 barrels of dried fish, 200 plows,
23 carboys of acid, a lot of furniture, agri
cultural implements, 50 stoves, 100 barrels
of flour, and 55,000 pounds of preserves from
the Shaker settlement on the Kentucky
River, besides sundry lots of miscellaneous
freight.
The tobacco was saved in a damaged con
dition. The insurance on the cargo amounts
to ninety thousand dollars, and on the boat
to eighty thousand.
A pair of coal boats, belonging to Haight,
of Pittsburgh, sunk on the falls this morn
ing while attempting to enter the canal.
The steamer White Cloud arrived with
New. Orleans dates of the 27th ult.
The steamer Luminary leaves here for
New Orleans on Sunday.
The Eleanora Carrel Was built here eleven
months since, and owned by the Marine
Railway and Dry Dock Company of this
city. She cost $125.000, and was valued at
$120,000, when she burned yesterday. She
had on board over three hundred tons of
merchandise, and was to have left Louis
ville for New Orleans this evening. She
had a large amount of shelled corn on
board, and engagements for three hundred
mules, which, fortunately, were not on the
boat when she burned. The Kentucky
river packet Wren reshipped 50,000 pounds
of preserves, a large lot of garden seed and
brooms, from the Shaker settlement on
Kentucky river on the Eleanora Carrel..
She was insured for eighty thousand dollars
in Cincinnati.
The cargo of the Carrel was insured for
00,000 in Louisville, for New Albany, and
eastern agencies, making a loss on the boat
and cargo of one hnndred and seventy thou
sand dollars.
Messrs. S. Levy dt Bro., of Cincinnati,
received a dispatch from A. H. Merritt it
Co. yesterday, dated Memphis, January 5,
announcing the sinking of the steamer
Goldena on Sunday. The despatch says
that she is in a bad condition, The Goldena
was bound from Memphis for Arkansas
river, with a fair trip of miscellaneous and
valuable cargo, and doubtless sunk in the
Arkansas river. She was formerly the
stern-wheel gunboat Juliet, and was pur
chased,by Capt. Sol.Frauklin, of Arkansas,
add re-fitted and re-converted into a mer
chant steamer here. Captain Alex. Frazer,
of Cincinnati, was in command. The Gol
dena was valued at $20,000, and insured in
Cincinnati for $15,000.

THE FENIAN FIGHT.
Fiftth Day's Proceedings of the Fenian
Convention---o'Mahony Indorsed
---Establishment of a "13u
reau of. Military
Justice."
The fifth session of .the Fenian Congress
;was held on Saturday morning, at , Clinton
'Hall. At 9 o'clock, the Speaker, Mr. Cor
te•ok the chair, and the House was
;called to order. Colonel O'Mahony, B:Do
ran, Senator Meaney, and others, occupied
!seats on the platform.
The proceedings were opened with prayer
by the Rev. Mr. Curley, after which
A resolution was adopted calling for all
the books. accounts and reports of the or
ganization, in order to enable the House
to investigate the present condition of the
;organization, and try the charges prefbrred
'against the Senate, and. also the articles of
impeachment against Col. O'Mahonv.
Colonel O'Mationy then presentedii list of
charges against the Senate, the substance of
which was previously published in The
World. The colonel accuses the Senate with
having hindered the sale of the bonds of the
'lrish Republic, by publishing charges
against himself and other officers, which
created insubordination in the ranks and
gave "aid and comfort to the enemy." The
articles impeaching Colonel 0' sdahony, on
.the ground that he violated some of the
leading articles of the Constitution, were
also read.
A delegate moved that on Tuesday the
House resolve itself into a Committee of the
Whole, to investigate the charges against
the Senate, and also those against Colonel
O'Mahony.
The motion was adopted.
Another resolution was subsequently ap
proved, directing the clerk to notify the
members of the Senate to appear before the
House . on Tuesday next, and answer the
charges made against them.
A delegate moved that Colonel O'Mahony
be recognized as the President of the Bro
therhood, pending the investigation to be
made.
The resolution, which called forth a long
and animated debate, was adopted.
Mr. Pierce Keenan, of this city, then
made some remarks, exhorting the Congress
to act firmly and talL, such action as may
unite the Brotherhood. He closed by pre
senting $5OO to the speaker as his subscrip
tion.
A recess till 3 P. M. was ordered.
After the recess a committee, consisting of
one delegate from each State, was appointed
to wait on on Col. Roberts and P. O'Rourke
to obtain from them all the books, papers,
money, etc., in their possession belonging
.to the order, but the committee were unable
to perfect their labor, and on their return
reported progress.
Subsequently they presented the follow
in reply of President Roberts:
HzAnnuaaTuits, F. 8., 734 BROADWAY,
N. 1., Jan. 6, 1866.—T0 the Members of the
F. B.—GENTLEMEN: As I previously stated
in a communication, all the books under
my control as President of the Fenian
Brotherhood are open to your inspection;
and by pledging your faith as Fenians that
they will be returned to these headquarters
within a reasonable time you cah have them.
Mr. O'Rourke, the Treasurer, has told me
that he is ready to submit his stewardship
to the inspection of any body of Fenians who
desire to investigate it. Yours, fraternally,
W. R. ROBERTS, President F. B.
A committee was then appointed to ex
amine the books and other documents of the
Civil Department, of which Col. Downing is
the Acting Secretary. The committee at
once proceeded to the headquarters at Union
square, where everything connected with
the Department was laid before them. The
committee continued their labors to a late
hour, and it is understood' they will be pre
pared to report to the House on Monday.
Our reporter ascertained that a court
martial had been organized by order of the
Congress for the purpose of trying charges
against certain parties who were sent to
Ireland by Col. O'Mahony, in order to aid a
revolution there. The names of the eke
daddlers from Ireland, whose cowardice, as
alleged, led them to leave that country
lest they might share the samefate as Luby,
would, if published, astonish many of our
citizens. They are necessarily omitted.
Should they be found guilty of "cowardice
in the face of the enemy," it is not yet
known what punishment they will receive.
It is said that these Fenian deserters re
ceived large sums from the Treasury.
On Saturday evening a public meeting of
the Brotherhood was held in Clinton Hall,
Judge McCormick, of Ohio, presiding.
Mr. James Brennan was the first speaker.
Ele thanked God that the action of the Con
gress now in session in the hall in which he
now stood, had placed the organization in a
safe position. He then referred to the men
out West who had encouraged Mr. Roberts
in his course, and stated. that now, when
they found the current running against
him, they would forsake him and leave him
to do battle himself. He believed, however,
that Mr. Roberts was a high-minded man,
but he was mistaken in his course.
Mr. John M. Moriarty, of Philadelphia,
was next introduced by, complimentary
remarks fromthe Chairman. INft. Moriarty
said he did not like speech-making just
now. There was more music in the crack
of one rifle than there as in a dozen
speeches. There were •e N now in the Con
gress who were deter ed to win the
freedom of Ireland. ' He said he indorsed
Colonel O'Mahony from the bottom of 9 his
heart. He charged the Senate, with doing
what was wrong,- and considered the Canada
scheme an outrage; they had no right to
attack a friendly people, who did not invite
them. With O'Mahony .and
[cheers]—we will march against the enemy
with the sunburst dazzling their eyes. The
barges against John O'Mahony have been
proved to be false. [Applause.]
Brief addresses were then made by Messrs.
Meaney, J. E. Fitzgerald, Dr. Cowley and
others, after ; witich the meeting adjourned.
ailTitement . of General Sweeney—Wia Visit
to the Convention. and What he Did
There..
Gentlemen and BrotherB: The very, in
correct reports of, the fourth day's proceed
ings of the Fenian - Conventien, now assem
bled in this city,;which have appeared in
the daily papers, compel- me, in justice to
myself, to lay before you a full and I:dein
statement of the facts as they occurred. A
delegation of the Fenian Brotherhoed, sent
from the Convention for that purpose,waited
on'me aftny office, and invited me to appear
before the "Congress," then sitting at Clinton
which invitation I respectfully de
clined, stating my reasons to be, first, that I
believed I should only expose myself to
OM WHOLE COUNTRY.
PHILADELPHIA., MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1866.
[From to-day's N. Y. World.]
; salt and misrepresentation; and, secondly,
that did not recognize the legality of th t
body Theyy, called on me a second time,
and earnestly desired my attendance, assur
ing me that neither insult nor misrepresen
tation should occur, and urging that my pre
mence,might do much to restore peace and
harmony. Under these circumstances, and
anxions,as I trust I ever am, to promote the
welfare of the Brotherhood, I waived my
-objections ardaccomparded them. The re
!suit proved that my apprehensions were not
unfounded. After their pressing invitation
—though my Arrival was greeted with. ap
parent warmth, my efforts at conciliation
were !met ;by certain parties whom I had
previously named to the delegation,with in
sult and outrage. I was denounced as not
:being a Fenian, and ' - my right to be on the
floor denied, although the Convention had
sent for. me themselves. I was subjected to
a series of puerile and impertinent inter
ruptions and cross questionings, having no
other tendency than to widen the breach al
ready existing. My statement that I had
never taken the pledge was qualified by the
explaiaation that the Circle in Nashville,
Tenn., of which I have the honor to be a
member, and into which I was unanimously
elected, - decided as a compliment to
me that no pledge should be required, al
though I signified my willingness then to
take it. This explanation, which should
have appeared in the newspaper reports,
was not regarded by these men, nor, when
aaked!if I was willing to take the pledge
before the Convention, was my prompt
offer to do so accepted, showing an evident
intention to place me in a false position. I
certainly was not aware until then that the
slightest doubt of my loyalty to the cause
existed, and it is rather too late to predicate
such an idea on a fact well known to the
Congress at Philadelphia, having been
statedlby no less a person than Mr. Mullen.
the friend and adviser of Mr. 0' Mahony. I
can certainly afford to despise any such
attempts after a lifetime of devotion to free
dom to my native land. In my interview
with the Conveniion I carefully avoided
anything which could be con
strued info personalities, until badgered
and outraged by questions the purport of
which was only to promote dissension and
distrust. I then felt compelled to accuse
one of my opponents publicly with having
uttered two deliberate falsehoods, then and
there declaring that I could repose np con
fidence in his veracity. In conclusion, I
will remark that I believe that a large and
respectable portion of the delegates present
are honorable men, inspired by a desire to
investigate and judge fairly and impartially.
But there is an element of discord, com
posed of members from the Manhattan Dis
trict tinder the lead of unscrupulous men,
who have done and will do everything they
can to stifle the truth and prevent union,
for the advancement of their own selfish
schemes, even should it be at the price of
Ireland's ruin. Fraternally,
J. W. Swnswar,
Secretary of War, Fenian Brotherhood.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Meeting at New York---Speeches
by William Cullen Bryant,
and Others, &c.
[From To-day's N. Y. Time:L.l
On Saturday evening a meeting was held
at tl e Cooper Institute, for the purpose of
reaffirming the Monroe Doctrine and ex-
prussing simpatby with the smaller repub
lics on this continent. The hall was appro
priately decorated and on a strip of cloth,
stretched across the front of the platform,
mere the words. "Heroic Santa Domingo
Chili, Peru, Mexico. If they have not con
quered, they will conouer." And on a
oraped- transparency, tile words, "Henry
Winter Davis. His spirit lives with us to
night."
About S o'clock Mr. Squier entered the
ball, accompanied by Mr. W. C. Bryant
Peter Cooper, E. F. Dunbar and others, and
called the meeting to order, nominating Mr.
Wm. C. Bryant as Chairmlua. The nomi
nation being confirmed a list of Vice Presi
dents was read, including the names of
Wm. H. Webb, Leonard W. Jeromo, Peter
Cooper, Horace Greeley and Major General
Rosecrans. Messrs. J. R. Wheelock, Col.
A. H. Duganne and others were appointed
Secretaries.
Mr. Bryant, on taking the chair, said that
they had met for the purpose of assuring
the Government of their support in resisting
such audacious attempts as have recently
been made to interfere in the politics of
'Mexico. Mr. Bryant also spoke of the de
cease of the Hon. Henry Winter Davis, who

occasion. •
Resolutions, were read by Mr. Squier to
, the effeet that whereas it had been declared
, that any attempts of European Powers to
extend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere would be considered danger
ous to our peace and safety; and whereas
any attempts to oppress the Republics of
America would be viewed as the manifesta
tions of an unfriendly disposition towards
the United States; and whereas France has
interfered to oppress our sister Republic of
Mexico and Spain to extend her system
over Hayti, Chili and Peru: that the United
States is bound to establish, if necesouiry by
force of arma the great principle of the
Monroe,Docdine—that America belongs to
Americtuis; and that by the constant en
dorsement of this doctrine, we have as
sumed iesponsibility towards our sister
republics, and an obligation to defend and
protect them.
The resolutions being adopted, Mr:Theo
dore E. l Tomlinson, after alluding to the
death of Mr. Davis, said it was -necessary
for the; people to speak out on all great
questions, for it was on • all such
questions that great men were always
timid. , Cabinet ministers and high officials
wait for the popplarvoice. Of international
law the speaker said that therewas really no
international law, for there was no arbiter
, except the conscience of the people Our
Secretary of State had gone, it is said, on a
'voyage to.the South, and probably would
visit Maximilian '
and say to him the thou
sand things that might look awkward on
paper. It, was time to • prevent 'any more
monarchies' from being planted on our
shores. To England he would say: Beware!
beware! 'XI she encourages France to eatab
la monarchy in Mexico, she would find ere
lon°. b the green flag of Ireland waving on the
Irish shore. '
Mr. Squier then read a, resolution indors,
ling the action of the Republic of Chili, and
complimenting her on the brilliant' success
which has crowned her first contest with
the Spanish' forces.
Senor Vienna Mackenna, of Chill, was
then introduced, and after thanking them
for the adoption of the resolution 'relative to
bir native land, said that for fifty years
Chili has striven to establish republicanism
against the schemes of the European mon
archs. Americans had been educated in
liberty by their fathers and teachers, but in
Chili their teachers had been their
haughty conquerors, who taught
them to cut each others throats and to
glorify the words of Cortes and Pizarro.
The speaker concluded by saying, we
have a Monroe Doctrine of our own South
Ameriea—a Monroe Doctrine supported not
by orators in public halls nor by articles in
newspapers, but enforced at the point of
the sword. jApplaused It baffled the
schemes of Walker, the tillibuster, and on
more than one occasion has baffled the Eu
ropean monarchs in their aggressive de
signs. We understand the Monroe Doctrine
to mean not invasion,
but protection—to
mean simply this: that the Kings and Em
perors of Europe will not be permitted to
interfere with republican institutions on
this continent."
Senor Mackenna concluded his address
amid a perfect storm of applause.
Mr. Squier then read a resolution en
dorsing the policy of President Johnson,
which was unanimously adopted.
Mr. S. S. COX was the next speaker. He
referred to the death of Mr. Winter Davis,
with whom he served in the last Congress,
and said he hoped a convocation of Re
publics will be held at Panama, including
the Republic of Cuba, and that there the
great nations of Europe may receive a
lexson. Had we taken decided steps at once
Maximilian would never have .come to
Mexico, but now our own troubles being
ended, we sliCiuld have time to look at this
question and to settle it decisively.
The meeting then adjourned, subject to
the call of the Chair.

INTERNAL REVENUE FRAUDS.
Counterfeit United States Internal Re—
venue Cigar StampS---Parties
Charged with the Forgery
and Their Arrests---
A Large Amount
Involved.
[From to-day's N. Y. Tribunej
An extensive and novel fraud has been:
brought to light through the instrumentality
of Revenue Inspectors Isaac Harvey and D.
Lichtenhein, with the assistance of Detec
tives Slowey and Wilson, Captain Steers,
Sergeant Whitmore and Detective McLoud,
of the Thirteenth Police Precinct. It
having been ascertained that quite a nuts-..
ber of Internal Revenue cigar stamps were
sold. Chief Detective Young was consulted,
who detailed Officers Slowey and Wilson to
work the matter up. which led to the arrest.
of Frankel and Hecht., the former being the
principal dealer in the counterfeit stamps,
down town, while the latter disposed of .
them up town. These parties soon disclosed
that Jacob Fuchs knew where the stamps
were printed.
On the evening of the 2d of January, De
tective Slowey and Wilson arrested Jacob
Fuchs, and brought him before United
States Commissioner Osborn, charged with
counterfeiting 'United States Internal Reve
nue cigar stamps. His statement was that
be had nothing to do with the manufac
turing of the stamps, but would give infor
mation as to the parties. Thus the key to
the plot was obtained. He gave to Detec
tive McLoud the name of Charles Witchel
ling, a printer, doing business in an estab
lishment in City Hall place.
A warrant was issued and Witchelling
was taken into custody. When informed of
the charge against him he was much fright
ed and stated that he had not printed any,
but would point out the guilty party. He in.
company with Capt. Steers, Revenue In,
spect(z Harvey and Detective McLoud
p weeded to the printing establishment of
Itandell and Blomeke, No. 166 William.
street.
Witchelling pointed out to the officers in
the upper part of the building, Blomeke, the
printer of the forged stamps, who seemed to
be greatly alarmed, but .stated that he had
only printed 500 impressions, the plate be
ing capable of printing five copies at each
impression. In addition he stated that the
plate had been destroyed, by melting it in
the fire under the engine boiler, pointing
out the press on which the work had been
done at night after regular hours, and that
his partner, Randall, was entirely innocent
of any participation of the affair. The
officers arrested Blomeke, who, together
with Witchelling was commited by U. S.
Commissioner Osborne to the County Jail.
Officer McLoud recovered the plate in a
mutilated condition.
The engraving has been done in an excel
lent manner, making detection difficult,
the defects in some of the stamps appearing
in the printing only. It is believed that
large quantities of the counterfeit stamps
were printed and the Revenue of the Go
vernment defrauded of tIOO,OOO.
This is the first discovery of forged Inter
nal Revenue Stamps. The Revenue In
spectors, together with the Detectives
named, deserve great eredit in ferreting out
and exposing the fraud. They have labored
diligently and will probably receive a pro
per recognition from the Department ,at
Washington.
