THE MEMPHIS RIoTs-The Secretary OF
War has sent to the House, in compliance
with a resolution of that body, the report Of
General Stoneman relative to the recent
Memphis riots. The latter says that upon
investigation by the commission,it appears
there were killed outright tweDty-four ne
groes, eight of whom were discharged sol
diers The Sd colored artillery bad been
stationed at Memphis since its organization
and consequently were not under the best
of discipline. Large numbers of the men
had what they call families living in South
Memphis, contiguous to the fort in which
the soldiers were stationed
These soldiers had been used as the in
struments to execute the orders of G overn-
ment agents, such as provost marshals, bu-
reau agents, ETC., and consequently had
been more or less brought directly in con-
tact with the law-breaking port ion Of the
community and the police, which is far from
being compo 'ed of the best class of resi-
dents here, but principally of Irishmen, who
consider the negro as his competitor aid
his natural enemy. Many negro soldiers
have from time to time, been arrested by the
police, and many whites, including some of
the police, have been arrested by the negro
soldiers, and in both cases those arrcst ted
have not unfrequently been treated with a
harshness altogether unneces sary.
After giving the particulars of the riot,
General Stoneman concludes by saying
The rioters were composed of the police,
firemen and rabbe, aud Aeg ro-haters in
general, with a sprnking Of Yanke cha
ters, all led on and encouraged by dema
gogues aud oflicc-hnnters, and most Of them
under the influence Of whisky" 1t tappcars

Creighton. recorder Of the city, made d
speech u the rioters, ia which nr said ::
I'VE are not prepared, but let us prepare
to clear every negro s--of Il bout OF

FENIANS
SION OF ADA.

BUFFALO, Friday, June l, 1866.
Notwithstanding the viligence of the au-
thorities in this region, the United States
steamer Michigan being under steam and
having her ports open, and the fact that
the city is swarming with Canadian spies,
several regiments of Fenians crossed over
into Canada last night including the troops
from Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana, Il
regiment from Ohio, and regiment from
this city.
At this point they crossed in canal-boats,
drawn ty tugs, and when nearing the Can
adian side sent up wild Irish cheers, with
the green flag floating.
Col. O'Neill, Of the 18th Regiment, of
Nashville, is in command at Fort Erie.
A large number of persons are viewing
the sight, from this shore.
Col. O'Neil threatened to bayonet man
who attempted to appropriate to himself the
use of large wooden shawl found in pub
lie house.
The Fenians say that no depredations
shall be permitted.
The approach of mounted Fenlan caus'
ed great terror and excitement among the
passengers and crew OF the international
ferry-boat, to the merriment OF lockers on
upon the Buffalo side.
All the telegraph wires to Canada are cut
on tho Canadian side except those via the
Suspension Bridge.
The agent ofthe Associated Press has left
for the scene Of operations.
1t is reported that the mail agent was
fired upon this morning as he was crossing
in a small boat.
/ The Fenans are reported marching to-
ward the Suspension Bridge, % miles from

The latest accounts from the Fenlan bat
tie ground, given Saturday. left the con
Qucrors Of Fort Erie i'll "a rather demora-
lIzcd, because united and unreenforcei, con
dIlion. 1t appears, however, that AT an
early hour on Saturday morning, having
burned the bridges at Frenchman'S Greek
and Mlller's Point the whole force was put
in motion They were pursued on the road
toward Port Colborne by party OF Regu-
lars while another party of two companies
occupied Fort Erie, and sent out sklrmsh-
ers in all directions. Seven miles up the
lake, toward Port COlbofne, near Ridgeway,
the Regulars came up with the Fenians
who were encamped in a bush. The col
umn at once attacked them, the Queens
Own" firing the first shot. The fight now
became general the Volunteers driving the
Fenans. A number were killed on both
sides. The volunteers behaved splendidly,
rushing at the retreating Fenians with the
utmost gallantry.
Of the forces engaged, there were about
500 Canadian volunteers and toward 1000
FenianS. One authority state that two Of
the English troops were killed and num-
Der wounded, and that the Fenians suffered
to greater extent. At all events, there
were about 60 taken prisoners mad carried
to Fort Erie. Another account says The
Queens Own Company of volunteers came
upon the Fenians this morning near Ridge
way, small station below here, and at
tackled them at once. A general fight en-
sued, resulting in the withdraw of the vol
unteers to await reenforcements. few
on both sides are reported to have fallen,
but there is trustworthy information Of only
one volunteer killed, viz : Ensign McEech,
rem. A few others are reported wounded" !"
