The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1866-06-07

The sales of bonds at the Rob.
erts Headquarters was brisk yes
terday. The news of the surren-
der of Colonel O'Neil was not re-
garded as a disaster, and the move
ment of men to the front went on
as briskly as ever.
PROCLAMATION FROM GEN. sWEENY TO
THE PEOPLE OF CANADA.
A proclamation to the people of
British America, signed T. A. Swee-
ny, Major General commanding
the armies of Ireland, is published
here this morning. After reciting
the grievances suffered by Ireland
at the hands of Great Britain, it
states that war is now being made
to deliver Ireland from the tyrant,
the despoiler, the robber. 1t says
the Canadas is the true point of at
tack at present. but the Govern
ment which rules over them. 1t
appeals to the Irishmen, French
men and Americans in the pro-
vinces to rise and aid the move
ment.
ALL QUIET ON THE NIAGARA.
BUFFALO, June ALL quiet on
the Niagara. The arms of the cap
tured Fenians are on board the
Michigan, also their colors and
those captured by them at the bat
tie of Ridgeway, which the Cana
dians call Limestone Ridge.
Buffalo is filled with special re-
porters from all parts of the coun-
try, but there is absolutely moth
ing transpiring at this point.
WHERE HAVE THEY GONE To?
The Express this morning says {:
While we had assuredly in this
city some two or three regiments of
Fenians well armed, equipped and
drilled, and while liberal detach-
ments have been reaching here
from abroad during the past week,
amounting to more than another
thousand, the whole augmented ar
my in the field only amounted to
about one thousand men. Where
the balance are it is difficult to un-
derstand. 1t is a significant fact
that among the three or four thou,
sand troops at Fort Erie yesterday
not a Catholic Irishman was to be
found, and not an officer of the force
was Irish.
THE KILLED AT THE BATTLE OF RIDGE
WAY.
A gentleman just from the other
side states to as positively that at
the battle of Ridgeway only four
of the Canadian volunteers were
killed and about twenty-five woun-
ded, three seriously. The report
in the papers that Lieutenant-Col-
onel Beaunorth was killed is pure
fiction, no such officer being with
the force. In fact, the only officers
killed or wounded en- the British
side, so far as known here, are En-
sign McEachem, killed, and Routh,
Of the 18th battalion, seriously
wounded; Lieutenant Campbell,
arm broken by bullet; Captain j.
b. Bousted, of Toronto, Queens
Own, not dangerous; Ensign Fa-
hey, leg broken and doing well.
GENERAL MEADE LOOKING AFTER GEN.
sWEENY.
Gen. Meade and United States
District Attorney Dart will arrive
at Potsdam by this noon, and will
look after General Sweeny and his
base of supplies.
RUMORs.
The report that Head Center o.
Day had been arrested on Cana
dian soil is untrue, but he is not
visible to the naked eye on this
side.
A ridiculous rumor is published
by the Post of this city that King
ston has been captured.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, June A.
Gen. Meade and staff passed here
this morning en- route for the north.
General Sweeny and one hundred
and fifty Fenians were on the same
train.
The United States Marshal
here seized nine boxes of arms and
accoutrements on Saturday even
ing's train.
All quiet north of Ogdensburg
this morning.
