tonight.

followers to 60 home. BY his order,

on the border, were abandoned.
There are 2200 Fenians and 200. regu.
lars are at Malone.
During the interview between General
Meade and Generals Murphy and Hef-
ferman, the latter complained of the
interference of the United States Gov
ernment, and said: eve have been levi
ed on by the cabinet and used for the
purposes of Mr.. Seward. They encour-
aged us on to this thing. We bought
our rifles from your arsenals and were
given to understand that you would not
interfere. They said the thing is not
dead yet. We will succeed. We have
our orders from General Sweeney, and
we can and will perform them. If we
get arms we will cross into Canada; we
shall fight the regulars if they oppose
u.s." General Meade replied: 81 have got
orders too. I shall fight you to
enforce the neutrality laws"
