last night, including troops from Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Indiana, and a
regiment from Ohio; also a regiment
from this city. At this point they

have returned from the interior
with prominent Head Centre, who
says that from 500 to 5000 men have
effected landing in Canada from this
point, and are hourly receiving Access
sions both in Canada and from this
shore. They are well armed, and have
six pieces of artillery. 1t is said to be
general descent along the whole from
as thirteen batteries OF artillery in
Canada. The Fenians have telegraphed
from this point to the various cities
to bring on the men and goods, that a
landing had been effected. The men
that went from here were apparently
served in the federal or confederate
armies. No decisive action or even
skirmish is anticipated forat least Two
days, which will allow the British
troops to concentrate, and the Fenians
to fortlfy themselves. The destruction
of the Welland canal and n movement
on Toronto is thought to be their pres
emit object.
The Head Centres assert that no pill
laying will be allowed, and that war
shall not be made on the people of Can
ada, but on the British government.
Col. O'Neill is the commanding officer,
and is styled commander of the Irish
republic in Canada.
