The plan of a confederation for the "liberation" of Ireland, with head quarters in the United States, has been published in the Irish " National" journals. Mercantile houses in towns in the Western States of America are gradually discharging the young men and employing girls in their stead.
A camp, consisting of militia, yeomanry, and volunteers, to the number of between 20,000 and 30,000 men, is to be formed at Aldershot in two or three months.
The number of Fenian convicts recently liberated in England was 24, and in Western Australia, 9. To release those in England cost £755 7s 4d.
