A report is in circulation that Jeff
Davis is to be liberated on bail. Il
IS quite certain that the Federal au-
thorltles have given the subject nc
consideration since the postponement
OF his trial was determined on, and
are not likely to do so for some time
to come.
NEW YORK, June 8.-A dispatch
from Augusta, Ca, to the Tribune

gt0n. asA
New YORK, June 8.-The Tribune
special from Malone, last night says
that the arrest of General Heferman
caused the deepest dependency in the
Fenian ranks. He had gone to the
depot to take the train for st. Albans,
from which point the attack was to be
made at enee Reaching the depot an
old acquaintance named Mai. Monroe.

him. Monroe then went to Mai Sill
vers, of the United States regulars.
and pointed Hefferman out as lead
ing Fenian; he also pointed out Col.
Quinn. They were both Immediately
arrested. The officers then proceeded
to the hotel and arrested Gen. Muir
ply. The following list comprises the
arrests made: Generals Murphy aud
Hefferman, Lindsay, Colonel RELY, of
Rochester; Lieut.. O'Brien, of New
York; Col. Eason, New Jersey; Col
Quinn, Albany; DIR. Sinner, New
York; Capt. O'Grady, Albany; Capt.
Jos. Murphy, Maj. Kenney, Albany;
Maj. Conley, New Jersey; Capt: Fal-
lon, Capt. Greary, and Capt. Glass.
Two hours were given them to explain
the true state of affairs to their men,
to counsel submission to the authori-
ties, and accept means of transporta-
ton to their homes. The men arrest
ed are entirely destitute.
The greatest excitement followed
the arrests, and threats of all sorts
were made. A man denounced as a
spy, was seized upon and horribly
beaten, under the eyes of the regu-
lars, who looked on without evincing
the least disposition to interfere in
his behalf. The officers commanding
the regulars became bewildered,
scarcely knowing what to do. They
had very good reason to believe they
could not make their men attack the
Fenians, many of whom had served
with them in the late rebellion. In
the meanwhile Maj. Silvey went to
Heffernan and Murphy, and besought
them to come out and quell the dis
turbance and disperse the crowd.
They readily acquiesced, and spoke
70 the crowd at some length beseecli-
ing them TO keep untarnished the
reputation they had gained under
the stars and stripes in the war Of the
rebellion, by keeping quiet, and doing
nothing to disgrace the cause they
had in their keeping The crowd
then quietly dispersed The men are
held under strong military guard.
They will probably be taken torOg-
densburgh tomorrow. The Fenians
are to move along the whole line to-
night upon MentreaLlf .ssgliamo1 .
A Montreal special says all the in
habitants of the border are leaving
with their moveables for the United
States for projections. The 7th Fusi-
leers, Regulars, left for West Farm
ham, the probable scene Of an early
battle. The Royal, Volunteers are un-
der marching orders 1t is reported
that tomorrow is the day fixed for
the rising of the Canadian Feniansaa
A Buffalo special says Gen. Lynch
has ordered his men to return to their
homes. A runor is current there,
however, that the Fenians would cross
below Rochester last night. ip1 Gi VII
A Detroit special says 500 Fenians
have arrived from Chicago. The re-
ported invasion Of Canada via Bay
field is premature. There are 1900
British troops at Goodrich, seventeen
companies at Sarnia, 900 men at Wind
sor, and a sufficient force below, with
a reserve Of 1000 at Chatham. The
Canadians have armed several steam
ers. The u. 5. revenue cutters Sher-
man and johnson are ordered to. en-
force the neutrs ity laws.
Washington specials say the Senate
Committee on Commerce have in
structed their Chairman, Mr.. Chand-
Ter, to report adversely on the Home
Bill to facilitate emigration. The
Committee also Instructed Mr.. Chand-
ler to recommend the repeal of the
Act of 1864, introduced by Mr.. Har-
ris, creating the Bureau of Emigra-
ton.
The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs had another long session to-
day over the Mexican question.
They were unable, however, to arrive
at any definite conclusion. beyond the
fact that the Monroe Doctrine must
be maintained.
