TEE FDSIAN BROMIDUIOOD AND BIMINI Pao•
TEOTION.—The Fenian Brotherhood is believed
to include in its ranks a very large proportion
of the Irish residents in this country, whether
naturalized or otherwise. The organization
being based on opposition to British rule, it
would' be the height of inconsistency for its
members to claim exemption from the draft on
the ground that they are British subjects. This
seems to be the view taken of the subject by
the leaders of the organization, as will be seen
by the following, issued by the Committee of
Safety, which we commend to the attention of
the members of - the Brotherhood in this sec
tion :
"The attention of members of the F. B. is
called to a general rule of the Brotherhood,
issued by the Head Center, John 0, Mahoney-,
of New York:
." That any member of the F. B. claiming
Bdtish protection, shall be forthwith expelled
as a traitor, and any person claiming such pro
tection can never become a member of the
order.
"Those miscreants who disgrace the proud
name of Ireland, by claiming British protection,
ought to be sent back to receive the protection
which England • hes always given Irishmen—
the poor house, the. gallows, and extermination
by fire and famine."

LATER FROM CHARLESTON,
General Gillmore Throwing Greek
Fire into the City.
A Serious kii4 -_daused,
The Charleston Hotels Closed.
"Nsw Yoax, Jan. 12.
The Herald's Folly liland,borrespondent says:
.Gen. Gillmore has been amusing the enemy tit
throwing Greek fire into The 'city. On Sunday
week twenty shells thus loaded were pitched
into the city, and every one exploded. The
result was that a large fire was kindled in the
southern part of thocity, which burned with
considerable fury during: the balance of the
day.
Heretofore Gon. Gillmore has not been able
to throw shells containing Greek fire into the
city, as they generally exploded in a second or
two after leaving the gun, but by a recent
conttivance, shells have been made to land,
their fearful and destructive contents just
where they are wanted by our artillinists, but
where they are most unwelcometo Charleston
ians. The city IS now regarded at per mercy.
The fleet is, perfectly quiescent.
The steamer Fulton brings Charleston news
to the 3d instant.'
The siege of Charleston was yet iu progres.
Twenty shells were thrown into the city on
Thursday, 7th instant, with what result was
not known.
Late Charleston papersglve us an inside view
of matters in that - eity. — Affairs present by no
means the cheerful aspect, some would have us
believe. The CharlestoniHotel is already closed,
and notice is given that the Hills House will
shortly follow the example: The reason as-,
signed for thin closing-two 'of the ',most fesh
ionable hotels' in the South is the great destitu
tion of provisions of all kinds necessary to
conduct the establishments in a manner -agree
able even to the unfastidious taste of the guestv
The congregations of two churches publicly in
vite the congregation of a third- to join them in
religions worship, for the reason that the-edi
fices of the former aro subject to danger from
our shells. Nearly all the warehouses situated
in the vicinity of the piers are emptied of goods
and abandoned.

The impression , prevailed at Mexico that
Maximilian would be induced to abandon
the throne and some Spanish prince would be
substituted for a time, on the condition that
France and Spain shall uphold, the new Gov
ernment. It was reported that Jriarez.contem
plated moving the seat of Government from-
San Luis to Monterey, the latter place being
nearer the United States. • His family was al
ready at Monterey. A - letter from President
Juarez, dated San Luis, Dec. 8, received in this
city, says our hopes - are " for a speedl terthifin
tion of your civil war, andllie complete resto
ration of the Union with it. • No doubt many
American soldiers would. soon join us for the
purpose of driving from. the soil of the Ameri
can continent the French, with their designs of
establishing a monarchy here. We know full
_well that if the United States had not been en
gaged in their present struggle, no European
: potentate would ever have attempted to strike
`a blow against republican institutions, but
as we are, with God's Alsip, we will try .to.
defend oar loved Mexico, You mania doubt
be somewhat surprised at our abandoning our
principal cities; leaving them in the hands of
the French. We think we are right in doing,
so. In the first place, as a military view of the
matter, the farther we.candraw them into the
interior, away from their base, the better. By
dividing them up - and distributing their forces
they become wdakee and give us more power
to assail and destroy them. We don't intend
to carry on more than what is classed as a guer
rilla warfare. We are not in a *Mon to wait
for an attack on any of our points by their sys
tem of artillery warfare. The French 'army :
being far superior to ours, in point of disci
pline, as well as being supplied with all the
modern inventions in -gtintery, we should be
compelled to succamb,eventually bkany pitched
battle, while by hairassing and destroying their
ammunition and carrying on a roving system

perienced in Spain, they eventually will not

We will moot with the objection of many during

: A message was received from . the President,
in answer to a resolution of inquiry, recently
adopted by the Senate, relative to the all eg ed
etceptionable treatment of Kansas prisoners,
by the rebels, transmitting letters from the
Secretary of War, the Commander in Chief
of the Army, and Commissary General• of
prisoners. In his, communication, General
Halleck says: I have no information that vol
unteers from the State of Kansas, when taken
prisoners of war, have been treated by the en
emy differently from volunteers from any other
State. "He also states, that the General in com-
Maud of the depattment of which Kansas forms
apart, knows of no distinction' being made be
tween Kansas and other prisoners.
The Commissary General says : " There is
nothing on the records of this of to show
e manner in which wounded and dead sol
diers have been treated on the battle-field by
the rebels, nor is there anything to show that
fob:name from Kansas have been put to death
on being taken prisoners. Only fifty-eight en
listed men of the Kansas reginfents can be
found on the records as having been delivered
uron parole by the enemy.
HOUSE OF EEPRESEEIATTVES.
Mr. Wilson, (lowa,) from . the Committee on
the Judiciary, reported a bill providing for the
revision and consolidation of the laws of the
'United States.
Mr. Stevens, (Pa ,) from the Committee on
Ways and Means, reported'a bill to increase the
interest revenue, and for other purposes, which
Was made the spedial order for Thursday neat.
- I Mr. Thomas, (Md.,) from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported a bill supplemental to a law.
relating to the War Department, and author
ising the settlement of certain'claims against
the United States.
The House then went into committee of the
whole on the State of Union and of Pennsylva
nia for calling on
- the militia for repelling in
vasion and appropriating seven hundred thou
sand dollars for that purpose.
Mr. Wood moved an amendment so as
tb re-imburse New York,which State he thought
should be placed on an equal' footing with
Pennsylvania, or any other State. - The alacrity
with which New York, came to.the aid of Penn
sylvania should induce Pennsylvania to prac
tice the most liberal spirit towards New York.
New York alone had absolutely disbursed five
millions for the suppression of the rebellion
and outfit of troops, bounties to volunteers, &c.
Mr. Rogers, (N. J.) voted to include thestate
of New Jersey.
Mr. Stevens explained that an act of Con
gress provided for the settlement of such claims
tisthose of Pennsylvania, which, when audited,
shall be paid.
Mr. Biane (Me.) said as long as eight months
ago, the State of Maine filed her vouchers, and
it was only last week he had ascertained that a
final adjustment had been' reached, and among
the items excluded were for money expended
fpr State defence.
Mr. Cox (0.) said the State of Pennsylvnia
was happy in having a leader here, while Ohio,
Which was occasionally over run by such. raids
as Morgan's, and other States had none. He
offered an amendment that when the expendi
tures; for calling out the militia, either to repel
invasion or suppress insurrection in any State,
shall be audited by the preper department,
and when the same is ascertained to be due
shall be paid, and the sum of ten millions of
dollars is hereby appropriated for that purpose.
Mr. Thayer (Pa.) earnestly advocated the
bill; and said in reply to others, that the title
of the loan of 1861 showed that it was an act
Of indemnity to the States for raising troops,
provided the troops were - used for the sup
pression of the rebellion. It was illiberal to
oppose this claim of Pennsylvania, because,
other States have not brought forward their
accounts. When other States come here with
the proper vouchers, he hoped they would act
without quibbling, and act with a reference
only to their proper duties.
'
Mr. Lovejoy (I 11.) said this was an attempt to
legislate and appropriate money at the same
time. There was no authority of law for the
payment of Pennsylvania's claim, consequently
it would be illegal.
Mr. Kelly (Pa.) reminded Mr. Lovejoy of the
fact that Pennsylvania's troops were ordered'
out by proclamation" of the President for six
Months. Though raw militia they were united
with the regular army in several engagments.
Mr. Lovejoy said that even if her claims
were just, Old Pennsylvania might have waited
a little while before pressing them.
Mr. Stevens replied, saying that in defending
Pennsylvania, the 'Union was defended. He
deprecated all narrow, sectional feeling. So
far from there being any swift haste In bring
ing forward this bill, he stated that the proper
department of the Cloyerninent had tut to the
Committee on Ways and Means the estimates
requesting the appropriation.
Mr. Spaulding(Ohio) did not wish to impugn
the patriotism of the great. State of Pennsylva
nia, but the Treasury was on the poiat of bank
ruptcy and it was difficult to fmdmoney to pay
the bountY to volunteers. If these claimit are
paid other states will present theirs. Hence it
it; better to postpone this class of claims till we
are better able to pay theist.,
Mr. Leonard' Myeis' (Fenn .) thought w.

would not admit that our country was bank-

rapt ; it was in the enjoyment of the greatest
national prosperity.
Mr. Fernando Wood said New York hsd a
jet claim for defending Pennsylvania, brit she
presented no claim here.
Without taking any action on the question
the committee arose, and the House adjourned
at 4 o'clock.
