may not all have been massacred-and tha

No attempt has been made to disguise the
fact that the attack came from the British
forces al Chippewa. II is said, however, Ia
be disavowed and regretted by Col. McNat
his orders having been to seize The boat
at Navy Island. On the contrary, il is al
legged that il was well known at Chippewa,
when the nttack was planned, that the boat
was not mt Navy Island, but ut Schlosser
and that McNnb's professions are insincere.

NIAGARA FALLS, Dec. 81, 1887.
Sirs--The inhabitants Of this village,
yesterday organized themselves into n COM
pnny for defending the country against all
attacks. During the night, the British re-
connoitering boats agnin appeared several
times in the waters Of The United States, a.
hove the Falls of Niagara, and near the
scene oftheir wanlon attack upon the Car
oline. They were warmly received by our
guards, and they disappeared. They Ian
ded on Grand Island aud captured a ply
sician and six or seven sick persons, who
had been sent to that place from Navy Isl
and. A smart firing took place on Navy
Island between ! and 10; the result not
kn"wn, but supposed to be unimpor,ant.
Two regiments of militn have been called
out in this county, and they urc beginning
to arrive.

In the course Of Saturday forenoon, Mr.

toned at this point, he was escorted into the
officers apartment, and bunily told that no
bodies had been discovered, and he was Mt
liberty Immediately to return.

With such feeling and determination to a
'enge the death of our people on board the
Carolne, that it is almost impossible for
our most conshlerate and prudent men to
prevent them from marching directly to
Navy Island, and Of course openly viola.
ing our neutrality.
They continue TO receive recruits of men
md arms upon the Island constantly, and
what it will end in God only knows. Gen.
Gould, Of Rochester. DR.. johnson of this

ey, N. 5. Benton, came up in the cars
his evening from below, and report that
here has been much heavy firing between
he Island nnd the main shore this after
