main body of the enemy from their strong
holds, and it succeeded far better than it
wss expected. II was one of the great
stratC eic movements that Sweeney will du
pIicate by tomorrow. To-day he promised
that they would hear the result Of that
strategic movement. Dispatches had been
received in the city to day, stating that al
q small meeting held at Cincinnati, IS, 000
were collected to aid in the work, and that q
brigade, under the command Of the rebel
Gen. Magruder and Col. 0'Dowd, was ready
and would march in less than forty-eight
hours for the frontier.
Gen. Sweeney was on the frontier to-
night, and before many hourssthey might
expect 10 hear of his having done some
thing.
A statement is published in the Express
this morning, that some / 800 left the city
last evening on the train bound Eastward
about 500 at p. m, and 500 at later
hour. The last mentioned force went of
under he lead of Captain Donohue, who
had returned during the evening with his
expedition Of the night before from Dun

1t is all humbug about Botavia being a
point of rendezvous of Fenians. The re-
port was probably circulated as q blind. At

vicinity.
BUFFALO, June 5-Fenian officers, num-
bering 10, that had been on board the Mich
igan, were brought out on a writ of babeas
corpus before Judge Clanton this forenoon,
and were remanded to the custody of the
United States Marshal. After this was
done they were Immediately brought before
United States Commissioner Harker. The
charge was read to them for violating the
neutrality laws, to which they plead not
guilty, and they were then remanded to the
charge of the United States Marshal and
taken to the city Jail. Their case will be
called up tomorrow before the United
States Commissioner, and they will then
be released on giving bail, in sufficient
sums, to answer at some future day. The
indictments are under neutrality laws. The
privates are released on their own recogni-
zance, for like purposes, to keep the peace.
PORTLAND Me-, June GA special dis
patch from Montreal TO the Press, states on
the authority of the Montreal Herald that
Colonel Lowry of the 47th British regulars,
learning that some of the Fenian prisoners
on board the United States gunboat Michi-
gan had escaped, sent word that if any
more were permitted to escape he would
FIRE upon her.

CIYCINYATI, June 6.-The Gazette's Mem
phis special gives gloomy accounts of af-
fairs in Mississippi and Louisiana, from the
distinctions of floods, cold weather, etc,
and predicts there will be famine in the
South before another season. Planters neg
lected planting grain, hoping an immense
yield OF cotton and big prices. In many
places planters have no money, ere out of
provisions, and the merchants will give
them no more credit, though mortgages on
coming crops are offered at low figures.
The consequence must be that plantations
will be abandoned unless money and sup
plies are obtained frcm the North.
