FENIAN BUMOBS. It was ineTitable that the American agita- tors who live by notoriety shoold attempt to convert the risings of Canadian Indians and Halfbreeds into a means of repltnishing their coffers. They are filling the American press with nunors of what they are going to do. JTo Canadian need be alarmed about their blnster. When ten times as many men have ^een sent to the Norih-West as are now Under arms, there will be left many times more than enough to take care of any Fenian sqaad which may escape the yigilanoe of the American authorities. And the Fenian brags gftrts may as well take notice that in the present temper of the Canadian people it will go hard with any person who is caught in the act of perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate any outrage. ENGLAND AND EUSSIA. A fight between England and Bnssia would bs like a fight between a fish and a dog. If England could get at Bussia at several points by water, she Would make short work of her, but this was the great difficulty on the last occasion upon which thebe two fought. The fighting, should it come to that, will be done mainly in Afghanistan, and the seat of war will be a long way from the base of supplies of both com- batants. England will have the ad- "vantage; however, as she will be able to send her troops from India but Buesia has such an enormous number of armed men that ahe could keep pouring them into the scene of the conflict at a great rate. The railways which she has built will enable her to transport her troops with much great- er facility than she did during the .Crimean war. But England's opeia- tious would not be altogether confined to Afghanistan. Her fleet would be 8 )nt into the Baltic and Bussian ports would be bombarded. Bussia would also be cooped up in the Black sea, provided the Turks stood by England â€" and standing by England is the only chance the Turks have of preventing their territory from being swallowed up by BuBsia.

Last June he was visited by a washinc machine agent named Joseph Boul- Bton, who offered to appoint bim sole agent for Amaranth. Hoffi:tn did not want to have anything to do with the machmes, but as he was told there was a fortune in them, and that he would have nothing to pay if he did not sell any maohmes he consented to accept the agency. He was then asked to sign a paper agreeing to act as agent, and this he did by making his mark. The paper was nothing less than a promissory note for $72, pay- able in six months. Bonlston went 'to Orangeville with the note and sold it to Gilchrist Kent, who knew Hoffiron to be worth the money. Imagme Hoffron's amazement when he was notified to pay the note of $72. He would not pay and was sued by Mr. Kent. The trial came off last week before Judge MeOarthy. His Honor considered that the note has been sesnred throoj^h the grossest misrepresentatiou and fraud on the part of Bonlston, and gave Judgment in favor of Uoffiron with eosts.

Two Police and Ten Civilians Killed. GREAT EXCITEMEI^T THROUGH- OUT CANADA. An Army to be Thrown into the Country at once. The Rebellion to be Put Down at all Hazards. Ottawa, March 27.â€" In the house of commons this evening Sir John Macdonald, amid oonoiderable excite- ment, read the following despatch from Col. Irvine, the chief officer of the mounted police, who left Begina for Fort Carleton with 90 men some days ago. The despatch was sent from Carleton, but beats no Carleton date, the Winnipeg date being to- day â€" "A party under my command has just arrived here. When nearing Fort Carleton I found that Crozier with a party of 100 had a short time before gone to Duck Lake to secure a large quantity of supplies there stored^ He was met by 200 rebels who held an advantageous position at Beardy'a re- serve and endeavored to surround the police and civilians. The rebels fired first, then fighting became general. Crozier, owing to the disadvantage at which he was taken, retreated in an orderly manner, arriving at the fort at the same time as my party. Ten civilians of Prince Albert and two policemen were killed and four citizens and seven constables wounded. The number of rebels killed is not known. The police and civilians acted with the greatest bravery under a heavy fire. POLICE KILIiKO. Beg. No. 1,008, Constable T. G. Gibson. Beg. No. 1,055, Constable G. P. Arnold. CIVILIANS KILLED.

Winnipeg, March 29. â€" ^Later â€" ^An official dispatch was received this morning by the Hudson Bay Com- pany from Q'Appelle. stating that Fort Carlton has been burned. The company also received another dis- patch from its trusted agent at Prince Albert, dated 27th. via Battieford, dated 28th, announcing that Col. Irvine with the 260 police under his command had evacuated Fort Carlton on the 27th, and had fallen back on acojunt of tjie much more defenaible character of the latter place, and also in yiew of tite larice number of people requiring protection. Before leaving Col. Irvine, who was in command of the police, destroyed the telegraphs and the stores, for fear of them falling into the hands of rebels. The dispatch also annoances that Fort Carlton had been burned to the firoand,bat whether it had been set on fire by CoL Irvine's men on evacuation, or whether it had been Bubseqaeutjy burned by the rebelstthe dispatdi does not announoe, a third contingeney thaf it ought have been burned accidentally daring evm- enalion is suggested.

Qu'Apfsij.k Station, Mareh 29. â€" A temfio blizzard has been raging most of the day, and at this hour (9 p. m.) it is still snowing. This fresh snow will probably render the use of wagons for the transportation of tho troops im* possible. Sleighs could certainly make the journey in mttch better time. General Middleton keeps a close mouth, but it is evident that he does not intend to advance until more troops arrive, though he may, perhaps, go up to Fort Qu'Appelle, 19 miles north of here, whether some of the troops have itlready gone. This main body of troops comfort* ably housed in sheds here, and all are anxious to be at work vrith the rebels. The battery was inspected by General Middleton this morning, and highly complimented. All day long the troops have been learning how to form zarebas. The farmers are flocking in with their teams. Should the camp- aign last much longer no seeding wUl be done this year. Freighters with supplies going north from the railway ha\e been stopped on rout for fear they should be captured by the rebels. A number of scouts hay« been supplied by Mr. McDonald, the Hudson Bay factor at Fort Qu'Appelle who is dis- charging the duties of quarter-master- general with great ability. He is also gathermg in forage the crops co the north having been almost a total failure from frost last year. All sorts of rumors are flying to-nisht, one being to the effect that a fight has occurred at or near Prince Albert in which 64 loyalists have been killed, but this is evidently one of the in- numerable stories that are bom on the plums. Telegraphic communic- ation is still interrupted between Clarke's crossing on the main govern- ment line, and Prmce Albert. All the troops here are well and full of enthusiasm, but tho old soldiers are looking anxiously for reinforcements from Eastern Canada. THE LATEST. WiNNiPEo, Midnight. March 29. â€" The latest dispatch from the wcbt indicates that the indians are expected to attack Battieford to-morrow. Settlers and their families are being transported to Swift Current station. Great alarm is felt. Telegraph communicatitm between Battieford and Edmonton has just been interupt- ed. Grave fears are expressed that the Indians have cut the wires. Winnipeg, Man., March 80. â€" The city is great^ excited over the outlook in the North- \^ est on account of a general uprising of Indians being re- ported to be immicent. A despatch from Qu'Appelle reports an butbreak of Indums m the File Hills Beserve, 80 miles north-west of FortQu'Appelle. General Middleton, having ascertained that 800 Indians had joined the rebel movement there and killed the Indian Agent Nichols, sent forward to that point three companies of the Winnip^ Bifles, and one gun and a portion of the Field Battery. Gen. Middleton will not, however, move the rnt^n force nntil the arrival of tho yotonteers from tlie east, as liis present force is not equal to the emergency aboiild the Indians join Riel. The news from Battieford ra MOBB PACOIC this morning than yesterday. The removal of the women and children to the Swift Current station, 180 miles, is no doubt to take due precantion. The telegraph line is still down beyond Battieford, and is attributed to emia- wnes of Biel rather than to Lidiana. No news from Col. Irvine sinee he left Carlton with the Moonted Police and civiliaus of thai poet. Hehaadoabt^ lees ere this reached Priqoe Albert.

A dispatch from Battieford Niys :â€" "We are in imminent danger from the Indians io the vicinity. Pooud maker has gone intn open rebellion and put the instroctors and agents at defiance. They have left the reserve and arc concentrating in laige num- b«rs in Battieford. and the hills are black with redskins. It is estimated chat they are at least nVX HUMDRKD STBONO, and more are coming in 'all the time. Several of them have come down to the town and threaten to burn it and take possession of the barracks and stores. AH the women and children have been hurried into the barracks, and everything IS being done to put the latter in tlMl best possible condition for defence. All the men have been enrolled for service, and arms and ammunition have been issued to them. We will !}e abb to raise a force of fully two hundred men of defences. Several housesin the town wore broken into last night, and rifled. The few Halfbreeds who live about the town have gone to the hills ostensibly TO BE OCT OF THE WAY, but it is pretty certain that they will join the Indians and incite them to violence, when the worst is feared. Tne Indians will not remain long inactive, and they may descend upon the town at any moment and seize ail the stores to provide themselves with provisions. There will likely be a general pow wow of the Indians some time to-day when they will make their demands known. The whites will protect their lives and property t6 the last, but owing to the superior number of the Indians, the position is most critical. Nearly all the police have been withdrawn to Pnnce Albert, and the supply of arms is limited. We hope for the best. DeHpatches from Qu'Appelle say the Indians at the File Hills have also risen, and have murdered the farm mstructor. KEPOBTEn FALL OF BATTLEFOBD. WniNiPEa, March 30. â€" A private dispatch received from Battieford just before uoon says "Battieford has been captured, and the ludians have got possession of eyery house. The inhabitants have escaped to police barracks where they are noW expecting an attack from the Indians, who are gathering on the south side of the Beaver river." This is believed to be an exaggerated vision of previous dispatches. MONDAY IN TOBONTO. The scenes of excitement on the streets, especially about the city hall, have seldom been quailed in the history of Toronto. As early as six o'clock hundieds and uniformed volunteers streaied down to the drill shed, wild riders and wilder rumors flew about the city with bewildering rapidity, young ladies tramped with their departing lovers through the muddy roads, regardless of every thmg save those to whom they clung, while mothers and sisters bravely fouj^ht then: way through the hustling, crush- ing croud in order to cateh a last glimpse of the sons and brothers who had so nobly responded to the call of duty. West Market street, from King to the railway traok, was one mass of hnmanif^, so clocHaly wedged to- gether that it apiieared as if a regiment of soldiers could not seperato tiiem. At ten o'clock the crowd had become so great that they had literally foroed their way iato the daill shed» and had to bo dtivea oat tlirough the east doH: by a s^uad of infantry. Speeial guards woe placed at both entrances, and even la£es, unless th^ hadwdth them permits, were refused admission. At naif-past ten o'clock the Queen's Own bugle hand sounded ^e old assembly call, »*dre88 for ptwde," ai»d im- mediate^ the aokUen, who bad been loangiog aboBt ui aa aimleaa manner, brightened up, and in a mmnejht wen miiiin^ about in e^rer^ dw^etiou, •topping wieiaabnaUy to siy a btiiiriei »»*d;by#Jb'«riend8.
