The Eaninn TrinIa-

TORONTO, G. w., Oct. 25.-The Fenian
trials, second day, opened at 10 o'clock this
morning. The court room was densely
crowded. The trial of Lynch was continued.
The evidence for the defense commenced by
the bringing in of several of the Fenian
prisoners, to prove that Lynch was at Fort
Erie in the capacity of reporter for a Louis
vile paper, and as far as they knew, had no
military connection with the Fenians.
They stated that they saw him at Fort
Erie, with book and pencil taking notes,
and having arms. Also endeavored to prove
it a case of mistaken identity; that it was
Gen. O'Neil, not Lynch, that the Crown wit
ness saw at Fort Erie, armed with a sword
Lynch somewhat resembling 0Neil and
dressed in a similar manner The mother
Of John Ryall, who turned Queens evil
dence, was sent to the witness-box and gave
her son very bad character; said she would
not believe him on oath.
Martin, the defendants counsel, then made
an able speech. Solicitor General Cockburn
replied to the receiving evidence for de-
Tense, and said the evidence must convict
the prisoner, and although the witness said
he believed the prisoner to be a newspaper
correspondent, did not particle the evidence
adduced to show that such was the case.
The proprietor Of the paper had not been
summoned. The Judge then charged the
jury, who retired about an hour, and brought
in a verdict Of guilty. The Judge then
passed the sentence Of death.

OUR RAILROAD INTERESTS.

We were gratifed to receive a visit yesier-
day from F. NJ. GnMER, Esq, of Alabama,
President Of the South and North Alabama
Railroad Company, whose presence in our
city is connected with the interests Of the
road which he represents, and the trunk line
from Nashville 10 Pensacola.
We trust that our people will turn their
attention to the subject of this connection,
the Importance Of which, in our opinion,
cannot be over-estimated. Between the
points named it is so nearly so that the pro-
posed connections may be called an absolute
sir-line, which will forever defy successful
competition. And from Nashville north
ward. will concentrate all the railroad sys-
TENS. from Cincinnati to 81. Louis, that may
be seeking the most direct connections with
the Gulf These facts, together with the
eminent mineral and agricultural resources
Of the section through which the road passes
will be satisfactorily demonstrated by Mr..
Gu.MER.

JULEsBURG, C. T., October 24.-The In.

fifty head Of cattle belonging to Veasey &

Several Of the night-herders have been
killed by the savages, and a number Of eth
ers wounded. Trains have been attacked at
various points, but in each case the Indians
have been repulsed.
As soon as the hostile disposition Of the
Indians was reported to Captain ]. p. Nc
Neill, Of the eighth United States Infantry,
commanding at this post he at once mount
ed companies X and NJ Of the second U: S.
cavalry, who started after the Indians, and
overlook them, killing fifteen Of them and
capturing all theirpOnies wigwams and arms,
with loss of but two Of our number.
Much credit is due I'd Lieutenants Arnell
and Norwood for their untiring exertions in
recapturing more than one-half Of the stock
driven off,
Since the above occurred, three hundred
Shehean warriors have passed within three
miles west Of the fort, with very hostile

THE IssUE.-The n. Y. Sunthus states the
issue now before hepeople ofNew York: ''The
issue at stake is SO plain and so plainly de-
fined, that every intelligent voterhas clear
understanding of the responsibility which
devolves upon him. He must express an
opinion, by his ballot, as to whether the
Radicals ought to be encouraged in their
svowed purpose to impeach the President,
to make Congress the Government, to Po-
landize the South, and to cast aside the old
constitutional landmarks which the fathers
of the Union set up for our guidance, or
whether we shall preserve the Constitution
and the Union in their own purity and
grandeur"

STOKES AND FOWLER AT McMINN.
WILLIE.

We learn from the NelU Era that at their
appointment to speak at McMinnYille, on
met by Gen. SPEARS, who requested divis-
ion oftime, which was only partially grant
ed. Gen. SPEARS was allowed one hour,
following the speech of FOWLER and
Stokes closed, being unlimited as to time
But in that one hour, SPEARS hit such rapid
and effective blows, that he more than neu-
tralized all the bad impressions that both
were able to make. The people of Tennes-
see are honest and fair-minded, and when
the questions are fairly presented to and full
ly understood by them, will be decided on
the side of right.

misfortunes, so imperatyely demand, and
which for Mississippi now To refuse will show
her and her sons alike degenerate.
