preparing to 20 home. Decentralization of
che whole force is complete, and both of
ticerS and men refused to do further duty.
DesertiOns occurred by wholesale, and af-
ter council OF war Gen. Spear ordered
retreat to st. Albans. Reinforcements,
arms and munitions of war failed to reach

and stored in u barn near the line. where it.
will doubtless be seized by the United
States troops, who are ma ching to the
border. Considerable plunder was carried
Oft by the men. Gen. Spear said he would
rather have been shot than to leave Canada
in the manner he has, General Mahan went
bitterly. Any Fenians who have not the
means to go home will be furnished trans
pOrtation by the United States Government.
Many will avail themselves OF the oppor-
tuuiJy to leave tonight.
AT Cornwall, Canada. on Saturday morn
ing, active movements were going on
among Canadian troops with the view 10

Col. Jackson, of the lst u. 5. artillery.
Gen. Meade arrived at st. Adams Satur-
day evening, and was serenaded by the
band of the 81 regulars, and made a brief
speech, to the effect that the settlement of
the difficulty would prove satisfactorily to
our own and other Governments, and show
to tn" world that the United States, not
withstanding the past, were determined to
do unto Others as they would be done by.
Gen. spear and statt surrendered to Col.
Livingston, of the u. S. army. Some of
the Fenians are said to have insulted some
United States officers at st. Albans.
Specials from Buff 10 state retreat has
command. Two companies from Chicago
left for home and expected the entire force
to be on the way before Monday morning,
Notwithstanding the statements OF men
who arrived Friday night that they would
not leave without round with their old
enemy.
A special from Ogdensburg states that
the American sloop Creole was fired on
with small arms by some inebriated Cana
dian volunteers, who thought she was load
ed with Fenians. The schooner Belona
was ordered to heave to or be fired on; but
her captain refused, and on announcing his
nationality and suggesting the risk of firing
on an unarmed American vessel was allow
ed to proceed. Fenians were fast going
home and Ogdensburg is resuming its for
mer quietude.
