Nothing very startling has transpired here
to-day. Quite number of Fenians have ac-
cepted the terms offered in Gen. Meade's proc
lamation. Up to this hour transportation for
245 has beed issued. While some are going
away Others are arriving The train which
just came in tonight, brought thirty or forty
who smuggled through in some way.
1t is reported that Gen. Meade has ordered
the village bakery not to furnish the Fenians
with any more bread, but the story seems in
credible. Gen. Meade and staff Just left in a
special train for st. Aibans.
The following proclamation has lust been
issued from Sausfeld:
CsrCattGr.-Stand, comrades! stand Ireland
expects every man to do his duty! Blood has
already flowed, and your countrymen are in
the hands OF your relentless foe. Will YOU
desert them in the hour of need? Revenge
and death! Now or never!
All is quiet and orderly here this evening,
and no disturbance at present is anticipated.
New YORK, June 10.
Specials from Buffalo state a retreat has
commenced. Two companies from Chicago
have left for home, and it is expected the en-
tire force will be on their way home before
Monday morning, Notwithstanding statements
OF the men who arrived ON Friday night, that
thev would not leave without round with
their old enemy.
A Cornwall, Canada, Saturday morning, ac-
tive movements were going on among Canadi-
an troops with view to move on the Fenian
column from st. Albans.
Some 1000 regulars, and nearly twice that
number of volunteers, were understood to he
moving from Montreal to concentrate near st,
Armand
At prescott strict watch watch was kept by
1900 troops there.
Gen. ONeill was prevented from leaving
Potsdam junction for st. Albans, by 1t. Col.
jackson of the U. S. artillery.
Specials from Ogdensburg say the American
sloop Creole was fired on with small arms, by
some inebrlated Canadians, who thought she
was loaded with Fenian invaders.
The schooner BellOr was ordered to heaye
to, or be fired upon, but the Captain refused,
,and on announcing his nationality and sug-
costing the risk of firing on an unarmed
American vessel, was allowed to proceed
The Fenians were fast going, and Ogdens-
burg was resuming its usual quiet
Specials from st. Adams yesterday, an
nounce the finale of the Fenian invasion of
Canada. The right wing of the Fe1ian army
retreated from Pigeon hill to that place, and
members were preparing to go home. The
decentralization of the whole Fenian force is
complete, and both officers and men refused
further duty. Desertions occurred by whole
sale, and after council of war Gen. Spear or
dered a retreat to St. Albans Reinforcements,
arms and munitions had failed to reach them.
The ammunition was carried to Vermont and
stored in barn near the line, where it will
doubtless be secured by United States troops,
who are marching to the border. Considera-
BILE plunder was carried off by the men. Gen.
Spear said he would rather have been shot
than leave Canada in the manner he has.
Gen. Mahan wept bitterly. Any Fenians who
have not the means to go home will be furn-
ished transportation by the Government Ma
ny viii avail themselves of the appointment
to leave tonight
