BosToS, June 8.
A meeting of the Fenians was held this
afternoon at head quarters on Hanover street,
which was quite numerously attended. The
speakers made strong appeals for money, as
serting that volunteers were in abundance,
but without liberal contribution they could
not be sent to the front. About $4,000 in
money was raised.

CLEAR As MuD.-A writer in the Crescest
Monthly, New Orleans, thus piles on the
agony in q description Of the surrender OF
Sen. Lee:
"The supreme hour was now come, when,
from across Fame's burning ecliptic, where it
had traced, in flaming sheen, its luminous
path Of glory, the proud Alde62ran Of the
Southern hope, in all the splendors Of its ex-
press, Myade's brightness, should sink to rest
behind the lurid war clouds, in the fateful
western heaven, there to bring out, in death 's
dark canopy, the immortal lights Of immortal
deeds, and spirits great and glorious, shining
forever down upon cause in darkness like
the glittering hosts upon world in night

THE rEr1As MOVEMENT.

The Fenian invasion Of Canada promises to
prove a fiasco. There has been culpable
mismanagement some where. This mystic
order was organized some years ago we be-
lieve. For several months its existence and
revolutionary intent has been open and
avowed. Its demonstrations have been in
public and its orators have harangued the
brotherhood from platforms where no vail Of
secrecy hid proceedings or utterances. The
exhibits of the societies throughout the
country showed enough men enrolled to form
powerful army. Fenians, veteran soldiers
from the North aud South were ready to
move at the word Of the Fenian generalissimo.
dred thousand men were ready to strike for
Ireland liberation at the word of the Head
Center.
The movement has commenced, and in
stead of Fenian thousands, there are but
hundreds nor many of them. Without Ar
tillery, without quartermaster or commissary
stores, without order or appointment, without
being at all in readiness for campaign, four
teen hundred men invade Canada. Thou
sands Of royalist troops can be concentrated
upon item in few hours. The Fenan soci-
eties seem not to have been advised OF the
attack until the telegraph flashes it to the
whole country, and then squads of Fenians
start to the border, unequipped for a cam
paign and to be stopped and turned back by
the United States authorities. Meantime the
devoted band of Neil look for aid in vain
and men assume to explain the affair By shak-
ing their head with the gravity of profound
wisdom and assuring US that this movement is
only feint and that the great blow viii De
struck elsewhere. The more real status of
affairs seems to be that " some one has blum
dered,' Mr.. Head Center srErHESs is
avowedly hostile to the movement against
Canada. The fighting must be done in Ire
land. on home soil. He asks only money of
the body in the United States. He thinks
this movement here will disintegrate the So
ciety in Ireland and cause q failgre II Vie
whole enterprise. Generals Sweeney, Rob
erts aud the American leaders were in favor
Of the attack on Canada. Here is for the
x
headquarters. The result will doubtless be
defeat. The most marked indication of its
success is the declaration Of Mr.. SEWARD to
the British Minister that the affair would end
in smoke in 'sixty days" That same
prophecy was followed by over three years OF
var in the Confederate rebellion.
Tie Chicago Tribune special says;
q Some Of the Canada papers seem in
censed against the United States Govern
nent. The London Ece,ang ddcertiser OF
to-day feels sure our Government is winking
at this invasion. if not positively aiding it,
and declares we will have to fight the Fenians
or the British. and no mistake. 1t insists
that the British Government will instantly de-
mand reparation of the United States Gov
ernment.'
The Britishers would show more taste md
sense by maintaining their good tempers. Tn
Gle Sam will do right but John Bull buster
won alarm him at all,

The FenianS.
The Exettemenf I'm Canada.

INV YORK, April 13.-The Herald's To
ronto special contains the following:
Murphy and his associates are kept hand
cufied and strongly guarded. Some of the
citizens advocated lynching. The feeling
against the prisoners is intense. The At
torney General has ordered the sheriff to
permit nobody to see them.
On the night of the arrest the widest ex-
element prevailed in Cornwall, and when
the bugle sounded the call to arms the vol
unteers ran TO the rendezvous, loading their
muskets as they ran. They d~ouble-quieked
to the station followed by an excited pop
ulaee. On arriving there reports were cir
culated hat two companies of the 47th had
revolted aud taken possession of the town
in order to cut their way to Portland. An
other report stated that the Fenians mad
crossed at ~Ogdensburg, and seized a train
and were advancing on Cornwall. Three
companies surrounded the train as q guard,
and Murphy and party surrendered without
resistance. Much indignation is felt that
ex-Attorney General Mcdonald should de-
fend them.
Two companies of infantry and a battery
Of artillery have been ordered to Cornwall
TO prevent any attempt at rescue.
Mr.. Sheedy, not Shea, the Secretary Of
the Hibernian Society, was arraigned at the
police court yesterday morning, but no off
Ger from Cornwall having demanded him,
he was discharged on the original charge,
and held on information of detective Spence
charging him with conspiracy with Muir
ply and other traitors, to invade the peace
Of the realm. The examination is to take
place on Saturday. An excited crowd of
sympathizers has swarmed the police court
all day. Sheedy is confident of being ac-
Quilted. The stipendiary magistrate Of this
district has been ordered BY the government
TO conduct the trial. The authorities are on
the alert, but the FenieDs are putting evil
dence out of the way as fast as possible.
Ottawa dispatches of last evening an
nOunce that the government has received
information to the effect that several com
panies of Fenisns have left Chicago osten-
sibly for ogdensburg.
The next meeting of the Executive Coun-
ell az Ottawa will TAXI place next Wednes-
day, when the day for the assembling of
Parliament will be fixed. The delay so far
is understood TO lave been in consequence |
Of awaiting the action of the lower provin-
ces in the matter of confederation.
The deputy heads CT the several depart
ments at Ottawa have met to organize met
to organize a civil service battalion, agree
able TO recent orders in the Council.
A strict watch on Fenian movements is
kept on all the main lines of communica- !
tion in the provinces.
Sheedy, the Fenian Secretary, has been
sent to Cornwall as a witness against the
other prisoners.
1t is said that all the Fenian documents |
have been destroyed.
