March 8th 1867. From the Times. Templemore Wednesday. >From intelligence received for some time, it was daily expected that the Fenians would rise. Early this morning, information arrived that large bodies of men were seen moving in the direction of the Devil's Bit. At once all the available force, consisting of some soldiers and constabulary, marched to Captain Carden's, whose seat, Barnane, is immediately under the hill. There they found their information correct, and numerous bodies of men, variously estimated, appeared in the distance, without, however, venturing to attack Barnane, for the owner was well prepared to receive them if they came, as he had his servants armed. Whilst here the military and constabulary force received information that Dovea, the residence of Mr. Trant, was menaced, and they at once proceeded there, seeing in the distance several bodies of men armed with pikes, one of which the men pursued and fired on them, with what effect they could not learn. Mr. Gore Jones. R.M. after ascertaining that Dovea was intact, and as night was advancing, ordered the force home. The insurgents burned two police barracks, but fortunately the men escaped, as they took advantage of their absence on patrol. Also, it is reported they shot a man who refused to join them. He had once been a Fenian, but under better influence had left them. Captain Gleeson, the brother of General Gleeson, is said to be commanding officer. Their plans seem pretty well laid, and such a place of meeting as the "Devil's Bit" has a certain historic connection, as it was here they assembled in 1798. They are reported to have some cannon amongst them, but, doubtless, this is only a rumour. The exertions of the constabulary here under Mr. Gore Jones R.M. and Mr. Ward. S.I., are much valued, as the work of the men, both night and day, has been unceasing. Tonight will be an anxious time, as it will show their further intentions. The darkness will favour their movements much and hinder those of the constabulary.
