The dead and wounded Teniane to the number of twelve were then cared for by Col. Chamberlain. The boy ofiicer who was wounded in the second attack stated that the Fenian force amounted to 375, commanded by 10 officers ; that O’Neill was afraid to head the attack himself, giving as an excuse that he was engaged arranging “ strategic move- ments.” Col. Chamberlin’s force con- sisted of fifty men of his own battalion and forty-six civilians. Too much praise cannot be awarded them. Capthestover. The volunteers returns ,ed the tire with spirit. The F'snian. “were sheltered by a group of houses on I the boundary iine, but they left their l cover and a company dashed across the iine into Canada and the next minute a ivolunteer bullet laid a dead Fenian jacross the road thirty yards from the ' ,tine. The skirmishing and firing was j continued at irregular intervals for half Tau hour, when Capt. Gascoigne, who had at the beginning of the firing been ’despatehed to Stanhridge village for as- sistance, arrived with the Victorias in double team wagons, followed by ”Capt. .Muir's troop of cavalry. The cavalry idismcunted on a hill overlooking the :Fenians and the Victorians defiled and Opened a skirmishing fire from among the rocks. The Fenians retired under cover at 2 p. m , but shortly after ape ' peared again and a hot fire was kept up ifor some time. Nothing could have succeeded the admirable manner in which the troops behaved; they exhib- ited the utmost coolness and steadiness, facing the galling lire like veterans. {HIE CHARGE. Apparently tired of firing or having no ammunition, the Fetaians advanced within one hundred yards of our lines.‘ They were heavily-built, rougheleolring t fellows, badly uniformed and without: . . . . . l dismpline. No sooner was rt ascertam- ' t ed through the dense smoke that they! were bent on attacking us than the word i “charge” was given and our gallant force; advanced with the bayonet. The Fe-i nians halted and waited for the on-i slaught. “Reserve your fire‘ and give; them the British bayonet,” was t‘he=com" mend, and on dashed the volunteers in} double-quick time cheering lustilyamid l. tries of “No quarter.” In a few seconds} i l l The oficers u? to the present time are angry with General Gleason, and are using every effort to‘ have another fight. He has received a despatcb stating that his brother Parric' s is entrenched thirteen miles herded (Le boimfirv lids at ?;g e~n Hi?) *1- 1h 10 men - A despatch to the World,'dated10:30 p.m. says Gen. Gleason is now speaking to the F enians in their rendezvous on the fair grounds, endeavoring’to muster them to retake the guns, provisions and ammunition from the United States Marshal and regulars at .Lahy’s farm. A despatch announces that Gen. Spear has moved on to St. Armand from St. Albans with 500 men. A movement has jun}: been stated by some of the Fe nians who desire to rotor!) home. They are collecting money to pay their way. Another special telegram states ahat upon the approach of the Canadians,the Fenians were drawn up in line of battle â€"sixteen skirmishers having been pre. viously thrown out about twenty yards in advance of the main body. The Fe- nians stood still, bat the Canadian force continued to advance in three columns, and first opened the battle by rounds of musketry. The distance between the contending forces, however, was too great for the shots to take efi‘ect. The Fenians promptly answered the :fire,aud the skirmishers in front now coming closer together, were evidently deter- mined to rush into the very jaws of death. The consequence was fatal.â€" Poorly covered by main line, the band of skirmishers blindly advanced, the Canadians meanwhile peppering away, and the Fenians returning fire with all the appearance of determination to main- tain their perilous position. A. loud sharp volley came whizzing through the trees, and the leader of the skirmishers, Dennis Dnggan, was numbered among the dead. Canadians were now rapidly advancing on the Fenian breast works, all the time keeping !up fire. Right and left columns commenced to deploy" shirmishers, the intention being to sure round and capture the entire Fenian body. Previous to this Gen. Starr gave the order to retreat, but with remark- able daring and coolness the Fenians in the front defiantly answered, “Never,we will fight, and let 113 die rather than go back, come on.” A special states that General O’Neill expects to be released from gaol today. He is denounced by rank and file every- where. There are no officers in the movement capable of” controlling fifty men except Generals Gleason, Spear, and Donnelly, the latter of whom is dy. ing. The men are well conducted, hut wretchedly poor and starving. 1 Canadian troops emerged from the wood l a little 211 front, and from another on the gside of the trunans. A line .of battle ‘ was at once formed by the {81111311, and !a sharp steady fire opened on the Fe- lnians. There was at the time a small I rail fence in front of the latter, which Ewes immediately converted into a sort lof stockade by the Fenians, who had H1een told by Gen. Starr to ’keep up a steady fire for ten m'rnntcs; they obey- ed orders, and stopped the advance of the British. l But. heedlcss of their entrcatics to lead them to battle, General Starr turn- ed around alone and disappeared. With desperation the Fenians rallied, bnl. be. ing without. a leader: they- fired indie. criminetely. They were beyond con- trol, and every single man seemed to fight on his own personal account, un- conscious that within a few moments they would perhaps be beyond hope of deliverance. Loss on Fenian side, 1 killed, 1 wounded, and one missing, all in the Sixth Regiment. The Fenians had not in the affair a single piece of artillery. The English had a .few pieces, and they were effectively worked. Before the expiration of the ten min- utes the‘Canadian trooiis, far outnum- hering the ‘Fenians, made a movement, as if they intended to flank and capture the invaders, when G en. Starr formed the rear guard, and a retreat. was order- ed. The British continued firing, pressing the Fenians, who managed to maintain comparatively good order, un- til they reached the United States lines, when a arting volley was given the British, and the Battle of Trout River was over. General Star, of Cincinnati, at seven, in the morning, crossed the line at Trout Rivernnd advanced with his command, numbering not more than 300, strag- glers included, about five hundred yards when he deployed on the right and left of the road, his extreme right resting on Trout River.

So suddenly did the fire sweep down upon the mines above Fort William, that those living in that vicinity, men, women and child- ren, were forced to take refuge in the shaft of the mine, and remain there from ten in the morning until five in the evening. By the exertions of Mr. McIntosh, the captain of the mine, the mill and other buildings were saved, after having taken fire on four difl’erent occasions. The Government depot at Fort William was at onetime in great danger ; but the clearing about it and the exertions of some hundred men saved it from destruction. The Dawson road has not beenso materially injured as was at first announced. Some of. the bridges were destroyed, but a. force of thirty men, sent out after the fire, had them repaired within twelve hours. The damage‘done the road kill not delay the Red River expedition‘for an hour. IMMENSE FIRE AT FGRT WILLIAM. LATER. The devouring element has swept over an extent of fifty miles, destroying everything in its course. The inhabi- tants at Fort William at. first ascribed the origin of the fire to the Fenians, but subsequent investigation shows that Sr. ALBAxs, May ’30. urnnn M‘MAHON, who is said to have been arrested, was at Malone to-day making himself useful to the Fenrans by badgering the rail- road authorities for free transportation. His reverence although, like George Francis and others, he endured im- prisonment for Ireland‘s sake, is not very popular among the circles,iand his ignorance and clownish manners make him no great favorite with the intel- ligent heads of the Society. Like many others he is making a living out of the treasury. T-o-night ai'i seems-quiet and the whole movement is virtually at an end. CONCORD, N. H., May 29. Seven cars of Feu‘ians passed through here this morning on their return home from the war. MARQUETTE, MICH., May 29. The woods in the neighbourhood of Fort William are burning furiously: the country for twenty-five miles square is one mass of flame. It extends around the silver mines along the north shore. It has no connection whatever with Fenianism. ‘ A. ‘ New Yonx, May'28. There is no disguising the fact that the Fenians, in this city, are greatly ac pressed, and unless more favorable news is received from the invading army to. day, ail hope of accomplishing any good from the expedition will be- lost .an-dtbe attempt abandoned.

ST. ALnaxs, May ‘28. Everything is quiet this forenoon.-- How the Fenians are to he got rid of is the only question that troubles the citizens. The govern-meat refuses to take the matter out of the hands of the civil authorities and the civil authorities do not like to take the respons'ib‘i’ity of paying for transportation.

Another Malone despateh states a noticeable feature of yesterday; battle was that no U. S. troops were within twelve miles of the scene of action. â€" The reason assigned for their absence 18 that the U. S. authorities were afraid they might side with the Fenians. Thus far the Fenians have not been molested by the regular troops. Two regiments of Regulars sailed on the 24th ult, from England, for Canada. General Gleason, of Richmond, Va., has assumed command of the force here, and General Starr has disappeared, as the ‘Fenians threatened to lynch him for cowardice. Another special from Malone last night says several hundred more Feninns are expected this-morning,-if the Bufo falo police fall ’to stop their-coming from the west. The force of United States troops here is amply sufficient to prevent any movement by the Feuians ‘unless the latter entirely conceal their plans,which is not likely. The United States artillery are doing police duty and «patrolling fihe streets to prevent any disturbance. Poxwrsm, May 28 In providing for the public safety against that class of criminals which this Irish cauldron throws upon the sur- face, it has become necessary to employ a weapon in the constitutional arsenal which 18 reserved for emergencies only. '10 proceed in the ordinary course of law against this peculiar class of ofi'end- ers has been to invite the failure of justice, hence it. has been found neces sary to suspend the HM Corpus Act in Canada, as well as in Ireland. Our Government were Ware of the exist- ence of Fenianism in our midst ; not only were they well informed of the in. tenticrs of the murderous gang who were being goaded on by a set of cowardly, loud mouthed bullies across the border, but they very proper-1v desired to -be armed with power to restrain *bcse l The Rev. J. Ryan, M. P., of Cashel, l rose to nominate Mr. Michael Cream- ' He began his address by inquiring .was ‘ there any one present afraid of British cannon, to which there was :a general response of “ No.” He then, as re- ported in the Express, added the follow- ing observation,-â€"-“ Let me say one word respecting the landlords. They are frightened out of their jackets, and I will tell you why. The old system of taking revenge on the landlords is entirelygiven up, and the people are now acting on a new patent and most success- ful principleâ€"mind you I am not prais- ing it; as a Priest 1 am a man of peace â€"but now one brother will not trust an- other with the secret, nor the father the son, nor the son the father, with what he intends to do. He goes out, he takes his revolver, and he tumbles his landlord.” ’This appears to be a fair specimen of the popular teaching in Ireland. A Bishop may, for the sake of appearan- ces, distributes. few extra anathemas against Feni‘anism, but when the subor- dinate clergy, like Father Ryan, p‘u‘oo licly justify assassination, we may well suspect that policy dictates the one course, and sympathy the other. An authority which cannot be questioned lays down the principle that “ the dis ciple cannot be greater than his gnaw:1 ter.” The Fenians are taught to keep’ their “revolvers” exercised. In the absence of a Saxon landlord, any other Saxon’s body will be a fitting depository for a Fenian’s bullet. In dealing with these people, it must be remembered that every compliance with their requests has but increased their dissatisfaction, and at this moment notwithstanding that the English Church has been disestablished in Ireland, and that a Bill has passed the House of Commons in the interest of the tenantry, terrorism is spreading, and the number of agrarian crimes are increasing. Fenians manifest their sense of Chia- en'cy by knocking down their benefac- tors. They seem to be fascinated with the idea of sanguinai‘y vengeance, and no great wonder when the character of the teaching they receive is considered. We quote the following incentive to re. bellion and assassination from a so called Minister of Christâ€"at the Tip- perary election. It is time that this thing of Fenian ism should be looked upon and spoken about without blinking. The sect of Fenians has existed in Ireland for a long series of years under various names, it is therefore no new thing under the sun. The members of the organization are irishmen by natural or derived birth, and Roman Catholic in creed.» We desire to be historically correct.- 1 We are not responsible for way ainterlea- ees which can be drawn from these facts. We don’t intend to argue that allegiance to the Pepe is incompatible with any other allegiance, or that‘Celtic lrishmen are most at home in a Donnybrook fair, but we repeatâ€"however painful it may. be to make the avowalâ€"that no decent. drapery which political etiquette may; throw around the facts can exonerate! Irish Roman Catholics from the accu- sation of furnishing a class of men who: have organized assassination into a sys-l tem, and who preach up violence and se-i dition as a patriotic duty. Admitting that Ireland has wrongs which require to he rightcd, we fail to see any connec-’ tion between an adjustment of these andf disturbance of peace in Canada. '1 hat I is a purely Irish process of reasoning' which arrives at the conclusion that.i sympathy for "oald Ireland” will follow; the committal of atrocities upon an in- nocent peolile. _' DURHAM CHRONICLE. .

The foliowing resolution, regarding Pathmasters on the Bentinck side of the Garafi'axa Road, was passed at the last session of the Bentinck Commit :â€" The London 51332293 is somewhat mov- ed about the Fenian raid. it Calls them by hard names, and demands that troops shall be sent to Canada at enee. This is all very well. Vt'e are pleased to see that both the Times and the Imperial government appreciate the character of these repeated raids upon Canada and of the men who are connected with it. If more troops have been despatched it is nothing more than ought to be done. But we would suggest to both the Times and the Government that it would be much better to keep a decent force in the Dominion to meet consequences of this kind than to be hurrying them off in every time of danger when, per- chanec, they may come 'too late. Would it not be just as well to keep four or five thousand men regularly garrisoncd in our baalthy climate as to have them wearing out their uniforms doing noth- ing in Great Britain. Perhaps the radi- cal economists, led by Messrs. Glad- ston and Bright, will now be able to appreciate the exceptional character of this colony as to its defences and gov- ern themselves according. Hand in hand we are ever willing to go with the Imperial Government, but we ought not to be left unprotected when quarrels having an Imperial origin may so easily arise. in such a demoralized condition of the great “Army of the Irish Republic” how mad is this attempt of Gen. cral O’Neill, and how farcical reads his programme, which, we are told, in- cludes the destruction of the canal locks at Cornwall and of the Welland Canal, and the tearing up of the‘ rails on the Grand Trunk railway. The Fenians will probably have had enovgh' of him‘ by this time, if, indeed, his arrest and imprisonment should not make him a subject for canonization in their eyes.â€" é But, in any caste, he has proved himself? a wretched caricature of a good militae! ry leader». 5 . What a hotoheaded fool this “ Gen- _al” O’Neillmust he! And what a gitck of consummate asses he muS‘t have i to deal with i The invasion Of Canada ‘ would be rather a serious job for any : organized society under the rank of a Irecognized State to undertake. With [fire in front and fire in rear, their plans should be extremely well laid, their forces numerous and well supplied, to give them the slightest possible chance of success. W'ere the Fenian organization in the United States an unit, its leaders, if they bad brains enough for ordinary use, might well hesitate before attempting to over-ride and held a-country numbering four mile iions of inhabitants and backed by Im- perial forces. The task would be a; heavy one for the Fenian Brotherhood: did every man of them stand shoulder‘ to shoulder. But instead ofunity therei is disorganization. The Western Fe- nians are separated from the Eastern.â€" Savage will have nothing to do with O‘Neill. But this is not all. There is anything but union in G’Neill’s own camp; Many of the leading men of the Executive in New York are entirely 0p- posed to his movement on Canada. In Cincinnati the Fenians have refused to, contribute a cent or a man; and inI other places O'Neill has been left to; his own devices, which are exceedingly! hair-brained. i England and the Fenian Raid. We had intended to review the inter- national policy of the United States as evidenced in its treatment of the raid and raiders, but we have occupied our limited space. 0f one thing the Yan- kees may rest assu‘ted, and that is, the viper which they have cherished will turn upon its foster parent with a veno geance-aome day. act-ire sympathizers who are known to he in league with them, and who are at the same time enjoying amongst us the advantages and the protection of a. free constitutional government. The pecu- liar dangers of this conjuncture arises not entirely from the seditious oratory which inflates the ignorant and super- stitious hordes which surround the Fe nian platform in the American cities.â€" The corrupting leaven is in our midst. It operates sneakingly as well as orcrt- ly. It operates stealthily even in the civil service of our country. Its emis- saries are employed about the Houses of Parliament.
