What the Fenian War Really Is. There is no question that a very large portion of the apathy with which the Fenian performances are regarded by the public is due to the not unnatural enjoy ment which people take in the spectacle of the CanadiaiKt suffering from raids. The Si. Albans affair and tlio state of alariu in which the inhabitants of the American border Acre kept for ocaily.twu years, by the threats of bands of (.on— , federate vagabond*. congregated iu t!»c Canadian* towns, have made a dcc,p iui pvessiop oil the public mind, aggra\ated, of cojarsa, hy the -'judicial" proceedings at Montreal in wliich Judge Coursol fig- , ured. it would be difficult to find in j modern history a ease of more wanton and shameless connivance at a great erime on the part of a highly civilized and professedly Christian corn munity. Cour sol was, uo doubt, a corrupt and ignorant man ; but he would never have ventured to parada his ignorance and corruption as be did if he had not well known that his proceedings had the secret sympathy of his neighbors. The Canadians tried to tlatter themselves that when Gen. Dix s order was overruled by Mr. Lincoln auil j the Youug affair blew over, that all was over. Hut the press here warned them of the real mischief of the St. Albans af fair, and of the impuuity enjoyed by the rebel conspirators pn Cauadinn soil, did not lie in the amount of material damage suffered by the Uuited States, but iu the fact that they laid the foundation for endless trouble iu the future. The Cana dians laughed at these warnings then; | thoy now know what they mean. There i may be powers in the world strong enough to treat all international uLligations with contempt; but even Great Britain is not amougst the number, though she have Can ailaat her lack. The retribution may not always conie iu the shape of open war, but it generally comes somehow. Rob erts aud Sweeney are rather contempt ble instruments to serve as avengers of inter national perfidy ; but iu this instance they do the work pretty faithfully. That this feeljug of soiencss on the part of the public here is pretty deep may be inferred from what we havo been mbmitting to for the past month or two. We havo witnessed, without tho slightest formal iudicatiou of dissatisfaction, the creation of an avowedly foreign govern ment in this city, with the various de partments and bureaus necessary for car rying on military operation# against a power with which we are at peace. We have seen it commission officers, issue 1 onds, aud actually raise an army, open recruiting offices, aud collect arms aud .immunition, and assemble great bodies of men at rendezvous on our soil, for the purpose of commencing hofctilities. We have had the commander-in-chief of this ;irmy travelling to and fro on our railroads, with largo bodies of men marching on our territory under his command, aud have actually seen our lines of telegraph cut by hiß orders, in ofder to prevent our officers and police obtaining information of his movements. We have tcon one district-attorney flinch from arresting him. fearing he could not summon force t-ulficicnt for his purpose, and have heard the same general-in-chief. when actually engaged iu the branch of our laws, warn him that be would come to grief if he meddled with him. We have seen a hos tile column leave OUT soil, invade that of our neighbors, fight on it, and then fall back into onr territory again, and the for eign government which he professed to obey issuing a general order, in N". York, promoting the man to a brigadiersbip for his gallantry. These things 'are hard to bear. No civilized gorvortuaent cv«r bore them be fore from any power not vastly stronger than itself. Austria used to do tbis sort of thing iu tho small Italian States, and Napoleon used to do it in those European kingdoms over which he had set viceroys of his own. Of course, wo should not hare borne with it H the absurdity of the performance had not been so mon strous. Most America us who paid any attention to the Fenians during the last year, thought it was a "little game" with which Irishman not troubled with much occupation were amusing themselves.— We think it vary unfortunate that this impression prevailed so widely, because it enabled the Kobertses and the Swee peys to persuade their dupes, who are mostly ignorant persons who have no weans of getting at the real state of Amerioan feeling, that the apathy tbey witnessed on the part of the public and of the law officers indicated sympathy with their enterprise, and assured them of impunity in carrying it out. Thay were thus enabled to strip thouaanda of poor men and women of large sums of hard earned money, to add to the existing dis turbance of ffcfe industry of the country by drawing off large bodies of young men to the border, aid finally—what we consider more serious than all else—to set before iU uuudr«d« of thousands of ignorant foreigners who reach oar ahore ever* year a most dangerous example of the way in which the law may be openly defied and contemned in their adopted country. If the Fenian performance of the last six months have not done much to weaken respect fur law anoegst that now immense class of our population who are still unaccustomed to the wlf restraint in which Americans ara bted, (Jermau and Irish human nature must have un dergone some radical change, 112 Wfirreat ly fear the Fenian organization is not the last attefcpt We shallwitn«iß in llifccnun try to supersede or set aside the national nuthority, by bodies of men having little or no interest iu the national welfare and using the national flag and the Ameri can name as a temporary convenience. Ili may have been on some accounts wlsft. for the President to abstain from iute»- fcrcace till the thing had come to a head. It may t»o that the suppression of the movement will meet with a support from tlie public now which it would not havo met with had it taken place any sooner. | Hut we do hold that, let tho pub ic Sup- j port it or not, this interference ought to ! havo taken place before blood was shed. We are-a ('Christian pcoplte, u.»jl no matter what the Canadians have done or left un done, we owe it to our own souls not to let bands of ruffians lcavo our soil for the purpose of killing their young men and \ desolating their homes. There arc some ' forms of retaliation to which we cannot 1 descend without guilt, and connivance at 1 or sufferance of Fenian raids is one of ! them. No matter what sympathy we may have with the wrongs of Ireland, no iu-1 vasion of Canada by people like these j Feuiai&s can be anything but brigandage ! oa a great scale. O'Neill's "battle" wis mui'der—simple murdor ; Sweeney's bat tles, if he ever fights any, will be murder —murder committed by the offscourings of our population, led on by adventurers j who are ready to fight under any flag for I pay and "pickings." lV>ople ought to re member this. Calling Sweeney a "gen eral" and Roberts a "Piesident," and their followers "brigades" and "regiments," does not alter their real character. They are, by the law of nations and our law and God's law, still bri -ands. We say God's law, because even supposing war to have the Divine sanction, nothing is law ful war which is not undertaken with a reasonable hope of success, or iu defence agaiust an attack. Ilut tho liberation of Ireland through the killing of Canadi ans and ravaging of their hopi's, is just as impracticable as through the invasion of Jamaica or British Guiana—a wild, senseless scheme, which no men of con science, or honor, or intelligence would enter upon. No Irishman of character or position in cither hemisphere has any thing to do with the movement, and there is nobody who does not know that the fate of that unfortunate island under the rule of tho Swaoneyr aud O'Muhonys would be teo-fold worso thau it is over likely to be again under that of Great Britain, even supposing the present fair promise of reform to be blighted.

Tho sympathies of the many frieuds aud acquaintances of the lumily, in this plaoe, are extended to them, in this, their time of grief aud trouble: A sad accident occurred yesterday, by which W itliam Michcll, of this city, a young man about twenty one years of age, met his death. A purty of three youug men, ot whom Michell was one, were squinel-huuling near tho MeMatli Farm, baclt ol College llill,yesterday alternoou. A red squirrel was wounded, and as it ran along a log, an attempt was made to givo it another shot, but the gun went otf prematurely, the couteuta lodging in Mioh eil B groin. A handkerchief WHS at onpe tied around his leg to compress the artery and stop the flow ol blood, and one of the party came tq the city for help. Greenlee was called upon and at Once has tened to the spot, but when he arrived there ho foi}nd that a wagon had been procured, aud the wounded man taken to , his mother's houso on the hi{!. The shock to his system was too great for hiln to rally, and fldtwtthstimtling the stop page of blood, Iw died trom exhaustion a tew minutes after he r«aohed home. lie was the oldest child of the family, and was a chiet support to his widowed mother. lie was employed upon the rail road. The sympathies of the community are with bia bereaved mother and bar family. Young Michell was a very industrious, worthy man, ami had many Mends who will be shocked to lbarn of bis death. He was formerly a printer by oeoupation, learning to set type ia the Spirit of tht | Ayt- office, which conducted by hit j father— the late Harper Michell, Esq. It is a somewhat singular coincidence that ho was shot in the groin, almost ex actly as was Clark Lindley, who was ac cidentally kitted TO Mrs. Michell's house two years ago. C'ro|tH.
