| Treellnghsburg yesterday, routed British
force aud captured a large British flag
Gen. Spear immediately commenced in
trenching. The morale Of the army is very
bad. DesertiOns are the rule, and whole
companies are making tracks for the near
est home transportation office, and in some
Instances regiments desert as an organiza-
tlon. Drunkenness prevails to an alarming
extent.
Colonel Scanlon, with his regiment. en-
gagged n body OF British horse nc Pigeon
Hill yesterday. The British were driven in
confusion, losing three flags, one man killed
and several wounded. The Feuians had
three wounded. Col. Scanlon then ordered
MS regiment to withdraw, and they are now
at st. Albans.
A Fenian council of war at Buffalo de-

main IN Malone few days, and he would

arms, or could get any here. A number of
them learning that transportation had been
furnished BY the Government elsewhere, to
send them nome, Gen. Barry has telegraph
ed to Gen. Meade for instructions on this
point. lC Is pretty certain if the Govern
mCnt don't send tnem home they are likely
to stay here some time. Most of these men
have no money, and General Barry's Order
