Colonel Roberts' Address to the Fenians.
New York, March 2.
Colonel Roberts, one of the Presidents of the Fenian Brotherhood, issues an appeal to the members of the order. He says England is seeking to arrest and crush out a rebellion before it is well begun by filling her jails with patriots, and ask if Irishmen in America will stand idly by. Come forward, then, to fight the common foe in the only war in which military aid can reach them; not a moment is to be lost. Your prompt assistance will enable us to take the field within days. Let men who will fight report to General Sweeney, and those who can contribute, send their money at once to these headquarters, for which they will receive Irish National bonds.
