ST. LOUIS, June 5.-There is great excite
ment among the Fenians. A large meeting
was held at Morgan Hall last night, at
which q committee, consisting of thirty
prominent citizens, were appointed to raise
funds for war purposes. There is q tre-
mendous mass meeting being held at the
| Court House tonight, and the utmost har-
mpny prevails. 1t is believed the efforts
now being made will meet with good re-
suits and the O'Mahoney, ROBBERS and
Sweenee wings expect another large dele
cation to leave here for the North to-mor-
row, and that St. Louis will furnish three
thousand men in all.
Gen. Gfout was forcibly arrested here to-
day.

cife Railroad, giving three hundred and
eighty three miles Of continuous railroad

including the Lawrence and Leavenworth
branch, and will reach Fort Riley, about
the latter part Of July next
The Old Eohool Presbyterian Assembly
adjourned last night TO meet in Cincinnati

NEW YoRx, June 5.-A special to the
evening papers says no conclusion has yet
been reached by the Government in regard
to bailing jeff Davis.
No decision has been arrived at in regard
TO the Fenian prisoners in our possession.
One thing has been positively decided, that
they are not to be surrendered to the British
authorities. Stephens, in his speech at
Baltimore last night, said he had been de-
ceived, if not betrayed, by both wings of
the Fenians.
Boston, June ga special dispatch from
st. Adams, dated to-day, says that the
main column of Fenians commenced NOV
ing from Fairfield at 4 o'clock Yesterday
afternoon, the column leading toward
Canada. A small detachment soon after
wards followed in tbs same direction. Gen.
Spear remained at st. Adams to organize
recruits, and look after expected arms and
ammunition. The nOn-arrival of war ma
terial has delayed the movement. IL is
known that large amount of stores had
been sent from Troy, N. Y, for this point,
and its failure to arrive has caused some
disappointment. 1t is thought officers and
men have been dispatched to hunt up and
secure the necessary material. Seven car
loads of Fenians arrived from Massachusetts,
this morning bound for the frontier. Gems.
Spear and Malon intend to leave for the
frontier to-day.

cial. dated Hamilton, c. W, Sunday at
lI:40. says 1000 are now concentrated along

for by the Regulars and Volunteers from

madam volunteers killed at the battle of
Redgemoy are taking place here to-day.

tal without much delay.
