The EenianS.

The party Of Fcniaus who captured and
abandoned Fort Erie, numbering some 900
men, came upon force ofnearly double their
number Of Canadian volunteers, on the morn
ing Of the I'd inst, ut Limestone Bridge, seven
miles west Of the Fort, and utter skiruish Of
half on hours duration, both sides fell back.
Tho .Fcniaus lost about g. in killed, and
wounded, and the Canadians about so. >;
The Canadian forces were being reinforced
80 rapidly TINT Il was deemed best TO evacuate
the position and withdraw to the American
side. Accordingly, Colonel ONeil md his
men embarked on canal boats, towed by tugs,
md started for the Buffalo side. When half
way across, and out Of British waters, they
we're hailed by the United States steamer
Michigan, and compelled 10 surrender to the
American authorities. H..
The. Federal officers Immediately took meas.
ures to prevent violation Of. the neutrality
laws. The captured Fenians were pnroIed on
The 9th inst, on condition that they should
not be found bearing arns in the American
waters. There is no further trouble appre-
hended on the northwestern frontier. -.

A New Party not Needed.

r. w. Thompson, of Indiana, q voter.
40 wing and republican politician of the
conservative stamp, expressed a very
common feeling in late speech upon
the pending controversies between Con-
gress and tho President, when be said :
1--WE do not intond 10 call in any Of
the democratic party to assist in the 50
luton Of any Of the present difficulties
such as they are-ior believe that
the Union party is high enough, big
enough and loug enough to settle these
things within ourselves without calling
upon the coppcrhsads to help US. We
arc q party whose attachment to. the
constitution creates an inyoterate IN:
togouism to coppcrheudism, and VIC say
to our friends at Washington, especially
to those who would form o new party;
if YOU are determined that We should
choose between rudicalism and copper.
headism, fear there is danger Of max.
ing radicals ofus all. / believe that /
could live under radicslism, but I think
90, under apprehension. If our men
at Washington will look to the people,
there will be no difficulty. upon those
questions Mt oil. There will DO no Con.
gress party and no President party. i
au for Congress whenever Congress is
right, and am for the President when.
ever he is right; but I will not 60 one
step for either Congress or President
toward the embraces Of apprehension.
That is how We feel nbout it hero. In
that Union party l will stand side by
side with the radicals or anybody else
ready to make common cnusc asainst
the secessioni,ts Of the South or their
allies of the North"

periodically visits the United States,
called "Nigger on the BRAIN" During
the canvass for the spring election, whom
they discovered that the loyal people
bad determined to ratify the Conssitu'
Itional Amendment, they were suddenly
seized with alarming symptoms Of this
Gsease-much resembling the "black
Vomit." THOR features were distorted
with great nausea-a terror Of some ap-
preaching disaster was depicted in their
couutenauces. They had wild stare
Of the eyes, and taey faacied many
things which did not exist, except in
their own afflicted imaginations. Some
thought that the Amendment was a
Niger ;" others that it vas intended
tocapfsr tho right Of suffrage upon him;
and others thought that if there we're
really no " niger in that wood-pile,"
there was one behind 1t la darkey con-
cealed somewhere, who would hurt
somebody yet. Great efforts were made,
and much money expended, to make tho
darkey visible to those voters whose
heads were clear Of this terrible disease,
but they proved all uuavailiug. They
could not see it. The Amendment was
ratified, and the darkey is yet Invisible
