CORRESPONDENCE.

i "Wom Southern" Illinois Grayville, Ills., Nov. "ttif'OG.Editors Journal : A little inquiry assures me that the farmers hereabout may safely indulge in good spirits as regards their present and prospective crops. ' Corn is abundant. The amount de stroyed by the overflow of the Wa bash this Fall, though amounting in the aggregate to considerable, is not enough to interfere with supply or prices; and the corn "raised here is number one. . The late potatoe crop has turned out abundantly, ' better, by far, than nsual, and prices are correspondingly reduced. f Best quality are selling here at 50 cents a bushel. A very large breadth of wheat has been 'sown in this region and I am . told Ithat,' very generally, it looks beautiful.' In a very few cases the fly has appeared and slightly damaged the young wheat, but, unless it safely winters, and commences its ravages next Spring, the crop of wheat will be great. -V. Ouir farmers, generally, have taken advantage of the fine weather we have enjoyed this Fall, and are prepared for the chilly blasts of the coming winter. Business is pretty fair, and we are beginning to wonder if it will be very long before we can jump on the cars and visit your city, running over the extension of the Grayville and Mattoon Railroad.

In Philadelphia, on Thursday evening, it a meeting of the Pennsylvania branch of the American fxeedmen's Union Commission,5 ".Chief Justice Chase spoke as follows; - . One of the most interesting facts of this work ; is in the fact that the idea is realized in it. The people through-: out the country acted voluntarily in their associations. You have come here 4o-mgBt -as men and women interegtedjnthe great public work, and you act in co-operation with the Government, acting in its sphere with energy and efficiency, and I, trust, .with the best results. All who choose to' comment, and censure, may comment and censure. - V1 '' '-' What are we doing? s-TYe are endeavoring to carry ; forward a jwork begun, by the Government,and. which" is n6w-itself under the charge of the Government. We are endeavoring to carry -the blessings of education to every person in the South who is wHIj ing to receive them. , ,Our labors are particularly directed to the "education of our emancipated countrymen, who need it most. What Will be the result if this work goes on upheld by thebroadfarm and byjthe-warmsi persions of a generous people? Education will be diffused through all the South," and every man whd has a part to perform in the . labor of the South will be- made ' twice ' the man that he was bofore. , 16 there . any harm'; ih that?. Is there not a'great food in it? ,1s not the educated laorer, th.e skilled laborer, twice, thrice, and even ten times as valuable to the community as the uneducated and the unskilled? If education can be diffused throughout these masses, prosperity and -peace, with all their blessings, will come upon the whole land, - Let; us go on with this work. Let us.hail, everything that aids and encourages the settlement of all difiV cult questions which now perplex the country. M . . The President of the United Stales offered to the South his terms of reorganization and readmission to a participation in the political power of the country. The Congress of the United States has offered its terms and I will take the liberty here to say that I think a mere generous, a more magnanimous proposition was never submitted to a people who have been in rebellion 1 than the amendment which has been proposed by Congress. Applause.' " ' ' ' If those communities who have been in rebellion against the Govern ment have anything to propose if they think there is a ,better mode, a moregenerous ' mode,-" better - calculated to secure the peace and harmony and. prosperity of this great land let them come forward and propose it, and the people will listen and judge. In this country it is, thank God, the people, who listen and Judge every proposition which is submitted.1 Ap plause. I hope for the best. I know what a nation of passion and prejudice is; it is violent and unreasonable, but it is transient it speedily papfies away r . Everything - connected? with this Ereat question of restoration should e calmly considered, and I trust that the people will neTer , consent to any . arraBgement which does not insure permanent peace, tranquility, union and .prc&pcntyi of this; land, - Applaus;. This is all, my fellow-citizens and friends: that I think is necessarv to say this evening. I could not say less, without suffering myself to be misrepresented and . misunderstood Long continued applause.

'I lie Fenians In Ireland.

Great Excitement -Reported The British , Authorities Thoroughly Acquainted with the Fenian Flans. Some , of the following statements,' in a Dublin letter, of November 6th, to the New York World, seem to gain support from the announcement of fresh arrests of Fenians in Ireland, contained in our cable despatches of Saturday:'" ' ' J'-'-'1 v'! !;;. j r; Affairs in Ireland at present are in the most uncertain state, they have Deen for many years. . The people are in a state of excitement bordering on midness, the Government is bewildered and perplexed, the military authorities are drilling and maneuvering, the police are arresting and locking up, the prison officials are complaining of want of accommodation, and the civic dignitaries are asserting there is no cause for alarm. . I know not if James Stephens be a spy I- think not; many, here assert "i he is; but I do know that '; every plan and every action of the Fenian organization is made known to England; and not only that, but that if she liked she could at this; moment lay her finger on every Fenian in, Ireland. You may ask , me how1 is ithis, and why she ." does J not arrest them. You may say England boasted of this knowledge, months ago, and yet was palpably at fault.' Even so, but since that time, within the last three weeks, the British authorities have been put in possession of information that, if Fejanism be treason, and if the panish menc oi treason be death, would consign one halt of the adult male popu- j lation ; of the country to; the gallows, j Then why she does iiot do so I will afterward "' show? Permit me now to state a point.' Some 'five weeks ago a man came to this country, outton or Dutton, I can't say which, by name. He" was said to be the accredited agent of James iStephens here, and vested by him with full-power; intrusted by him with all the secrets of the organization. ' This man-has been bought; and. is at this moment doing the work not for which he may have been sent here by James Stephens to do, but that for which he is paid by the British G overnment.1 As the 1st of January approaches, the hopes of the Fenians are rising. They have no doubt but that Stephens will fulfill his promise of coming back to Ireland, and there is a rumor here that he is already on his way, Thopgh the Government has undoubted, facilities for procuring information as regards the working of Fenianism here, unfortunately I am not so well situated. I can, through certain officials here, - hear of the movements of. the Government; but. even though 1 your correspondent, I cannot bid, sufficiently high1 for unscrupulous traitors. Their figure is rather ' too lofty for my exchequer. However, I can put you in possession of some few important facts. -. Durine the last six weeks no less, than 16,000 revolvers :have been :, distributed through the ' Fenian : Circles in Ireland. .These weapons' have, been in the city stored for some time, having been purchased , by' James' Stephens from an English manufacturing house. This will probably explain his seeming reluctance to account for moneys , received from John Mitchell. The various barracks in and about Dublin are being put in a state of defense.. .These preparations are . not confined to Dublin and its environs. Similar works are, being ; erected throughout the provinces. Tralee Barracks is being greatly strenethened; Limerick , the same way, and a large number ot men are engaged in strengthening the old fortifications of Athlone Castle. , . LUMBER, &C.
