NEW TonK, Wednesday, Nov %,
The Tribune has letter from Brashe,
Falls N. Y, Of theaoth reporting much excite
ment along the line Of the railroad in con
sequence of rumor that a large body d
rniders has collected in Canada, and armed
themselves for the purpose Of making IN as
sault upon this section Of the State. It was
their intention to tear up the track, destroy
the locomotives, set fire to the depots, and
then commence the work Of honsebrcakins
aud highway robbery.
A force OF men sufficient to repcl the would
be robbers has been armed and stationed
along the line of road, and every train is pre-
pared to respond to an attack.
LATER.
The Vice-C Consul ut Montreal has sent word
that the robbers intend to make an attack at
Malone. N. r, rob stores and burn the village.
Several persons had been arrested and their
baccaae examined, but the authorities failed
to find positive proof Of any intention to join
In the assault. The above is partially con-
frmed by q dispatch Of last night announcing
q slicht attack on Rouse's Point. a letterfrom
thence saws q communication was received
last week from IN unknown person, addressed
to gentleman at, Champlain, purporting to
come from Montreal, stating TINT plan was
on foot to burn Upper Champlain, n. T., and
that it would be destroyed within nine days.
It would appear from what happened at
Rouse's Point that the citizens along the en-
tire frontier would do well to be Organized.
