Fenians still in large numbers at St. Albans, and other
points along the border. They seem much disorganized
but threaten another attack on the direction of Pigeon
Hill. They crossed the border at Trout River opposite
Huntingdon, and after some skirmishing this morning were
driven back. No casualties on our side. One prisoner cap-
tured from the enemy, and ten wounded. United States
troops seem to be scarcely in adequate force to check the
movements of the Fenians except at Ogdenburgh.
