THE FENIANs GOING HOME.

About 1000 Feuians have now accepted
from Gen. BARRY the Government Of trans
portation TO their homes 600 departed
10y railway night before last, and during yes
terday and last evening it is supposed that
about 400 more took their final leave.
Thus it will be seen, transportation has
been furnished to about $500 all told
while it is believed that 800 or thcreabouts
have since the Fcnian raid, returned to
their homes at their own expense.
Il is believed by those having the best
opportunities for m accurate knowledge up
on the subject, that not not more than about
300 Fcnians from outside the city have
been in Buffalo since the movement COM
menced. With few, if any exceptions, all
have departed again, and we are no longer

A NOBLE Act. -Four Confederates,
who had been so badly wounded during
the war that they had only recently been
able to leave the North, stopped on one
of the wharf-boats at our landing, Satur-
day evening, on their way to their homes
in New Orleans They were short OF
money, ragged-in fact, almost com
pletely destitute, and fit subjects for the
sympathy of any mans purse A gen.
tIeman, dressed in black passing at the
time, learned their story from one OF
them, when he immediately handed him
a Eve dollar bill, and was leaving, when
the Confederate inquired his name.
Upon learning it was General Stoneman,
the war-worn soldier could hardly ex-
press his thanks, but soon found an OPP
portunity to inform several by-standers
of his admiration for the noble enemy
and generous gentleman.
