MISCELLANEOUS.

The war spirit among the Fenians throughout the country just now exceeds what it ever has been before. The sentences to death by Canadian Judges of Colonel Lynch and Father MacMahon, for being engaged in the raid on Canada last spring is the cause of it. They hence resolve and swear by everything that is holy thatif the two men are hung, they will retaliate in the most terrible manner. At all points they are holding meetings for the purpose of raising men and money to carry out their purposes. It was supposed until yesterday that .Head Centre Stephens had left this country to open the Fenian campaign in Ireland, nevertheless he still remains here. He still, however, unhesitatingly declares that the ball in Ireland will be opened before the beginning of the year 1867. The contest between the Police Commissioners of the City of Baltimore and the Governor of Maryland was settled through the conciliatory management of General Grant withont bloodshed, and the whole question will now be decided by the Court.
