Thc Femiam Movement.

The war for Irish independence has begun,
and probably ended. Canada has been in
vaded, but the visit of the invaders was brief.
Last Saturday a party of from 400 to 700
Fenians crossed near Buffalo. and small bat
tic was fought at Ridgeway, dozen or mole
being killed and wounded on reach side. The
Fenians returned and were captured by 0.
S. steamer.
Meantime during the week, there has been
great excitement on the borders, and many
rumors Of what the Fenians were about TODD.
1t is not probable that anything more viii be
done. Were it not for the serious conseqeun-
ces to many deluded men, the whole thing
would be the most ridiculous farce ever enac-
ted. -
Prescott journal. [volume] (Prescott, Wis.) 1861-1871, 1866-06-09

Some time ago, we noticed the ap.
pointment of NJ. II. FITCH, formerly OF
this city, now of Milwaukee, as Pension
Agent for the lst district of this State
Col FITCH went into the war as lst Ser
geant of Co. b, 9th Reg, a company
which has furnished very many gallant
officers to the service, and of which this
county is justly proud. We copy the
the following notice of Col. FITcH's APP
pointment from the Island City Times.
We take great pleasure in noticing the
appointment of Col. NJ. II. Fitch, of NIL
waukee, as Pension agent. He was our
comrade in arms, and we know that the
appointment could not have been more
wortbily bestowed. Col. Fitch entered
the service in the 9th Wisconsin Volun-
teers in July, 1861. ln July, 1862, he
was transferred from that Regiment into
the 21st, organized at Oshkosh. and rem
dered efficient service to General Sweet,
in getting up that regiment, in which he
held the position of Adiutant. After the
battles of Perryville. and Stone River
he was commissioned Major Toy Governor
Solomon and subsequently promoted 1t.
Col. At the close Of the war he was
brevetted Colonel of volunteers upon the
accommodation Of his Brigade, Division
and Corps command ers. He has parti-
cipated in about twenty engagements
with the enemy, having fought with his
regiment from PerryvilIe. Ky, to Ben
tonvile, North Carolina, which closed
the memorable Atlantic Campaign and
a." Sherman's march to the Sea-" We
think tho Government does well in thus
recognizing the services of those who
have periIei their fortunes and lives in
tie war. Col. Fitch is man of abil-
ity. honest and faithful, and will bring
ability aud fidelity to the discharge OF the
duties of his Office Wo congratulate
the Government and the Colonel on the
appoinemant.

representation, or any farther guarantee
whatever. are invited dc: The purpose is 20
divide and weaken the Union party, and to
aid the Gopperhead party in electing mem
bers of Congress and the Legislature next fall.
With all its fair pretensions. we don't think
