The poor Feniaus have come to hard
pass. Contemrtilde in numbers, as we'll as In
socfal position and in the objects Of their or
eanfzation, they have bciakcn themselves to
inccndiarism-nt least It We are to believe
what everybody here assumes as fact. 4
fearful contaeration took place last night on
Indian Island, and, from circumstances which
have come to the knowledge Of parties here
there can be no doubt that it has been the
work Of Fcuianisnu.
Tired Of louneing about here, and sick Of a
"flcld Of actjpnn in which there is no 81 ac-
tion,'' tomc small squads are moving to
Calais 3. and other towns on tho Maine iron:
tier. The Eastport people are glad 10 be rid
Of the loafers, aud presume the Calais neo
pie will be proportionatcly diseustcd with
their new visitors. The occupation of this
tuwn by the Fcuians Inns had the efIect OF
driving away British trade. Since week
scarcely any eustne:. communication has
been held by the New Brunswtckcrt and
Eastportcrs-nlucht to the chayrin of the lat
ter. l mnst say the Eastport peorlc-tllc
genuine residents, mcan-arc very sensible
folk. They don't care tig about Irish
Republics " and other Imaginary schemes OF
hrll.buC or q,.ackcry their concern Is about
tho brisk and profitable trade which has
hitherto been maintained with tlac,r British
nelghbors. And regarding the Fcufan scheme
as mere moonsline, they are far from pleased
ty having their trade disturbed thus without
reason.
Tie redoubtable Killain Is gone! Some

Tue Major may be, to come extent, Right
but he gives the Fenians credit for far to-

have already intlmated the Intentions
General Meade. He is to put down, with
strong hand, nny attempt to disturb th
peace. With this view, he has called Il
more troops. Three mora companies
United States soldiers arrived Today, m
others arc to follow. And, while this Is gt
itg on on the American side, l have to i,
n0nnce tho arrival Of another British man-o
war. Under the circumstances, the idea ot
successful attack upon New Brunswick by It
Fenfans, Is the mcreat moonshine and vcl
inrc to predict that, in short time, the who

alike imPotcut and ridiculous.
