Geary and the Mexican War.

An article headed John W.. Geary and
the Soldiers of the Mexican War;" is 60
ing the rounds of the Copperhead papers. 1t
is full of bombast and fury, and purports to
be, and probably is, from the Genius of
Liberty" an obscure Copperhead sheet
published in Fayette county. The Clear
field Republican copied this very precious
Copperhead document, and interspersed it
profusely with large capital letters, lest the
readers of that paper should fail to perceive
the import of this base and slanGerous on
slaught on brave and gallant Union officer.
The purport of the article is that in 1S47
Gen. Geary volunteered his services for the
Mexican War; that he was chosen Lieut..
Colonel of the I'd Penn'a., Regiment, and
that upon the death of his Colonel in the
city of Mexico while our troops occupied
that Capital, Lieut.. Colonel Geary was
elected to the Colonelcy by merely pluratt-
ty cote, against the wishes and aspirations
of certain Co. III. from Fayette county at
tached to that Regiment, whose candidate
was defeated, and as defeated candidates
often do, in both military and civil contests,
charged fraud and deception upon his sue
cessful competitor. This is the sum and
substance of the article. The fact that such
stuff as this Is published over the State
goes to show that the Copperheads are very
hard put to for material against Gen. Geary
that his character as a military man and
civilian, is without spot or blemish.

The Fenian Movement.

1t seems that the Fenians have at last
succeeded in getting up genuine excite
ment. During the past week, they were
concentrating their forces along the border,
and finally on Thursday force crossed into
Canada from Black Rock, which now forms
part of the city of Buffalo, New York, oc
cupied the villages of Waterloo and Fort
Erie, cut the telegraph lines, tore up the
track OF the Grand Trunk Railway, and in
dulged in general jubilation.- 1t is reported
that subsequently collision took place be-
tween Fenian and British troops near
town called Ridgway. No little excitement
has grown out of all this, but that the affair
will amount to anything more than ''big
scare" for John Bull, and the killing of a
few wild lrishmen," is not thought proba-
bic by well informed journalists
In the fight at Ridgway, or the Battle of
Limestone Ridge as it is called, about one
thousand Fenians and about fourteen hun
dred English volunteers were engaged. The
Fenians are reported to have fought brave
ly. The loss on their side was six killed
and fifteen wounded; on the part of the
Government troops six killed and twenty
five or thirty wounded
The q. S. revenue cutter Michigan, it is
stated, captured 700 Fenians whilst in the
act of crossing into Canada, and General
Meade has adopted measures to prevent re-
Inducements going over.

EG-An important conversation is
Said to have taken place recently be-
tween the President and n distinguish
cd Senator, in which the former is re.
ported as having expressed a doubt as
to the propriety Of further amending
the Constitution 1T this time. One
great amendment had been made.
If the basis Of representation was to
be changed it could bo done by arpor-
tionlng representatives according TO
the number Of voters, and taxation
acc rrdirg to the value of the property
In each State This would. he thought
place the basis of representation upon
correct principles. 1t would remove
discussions as to the political equality
OF the races from Congress, and leave
States to determine the qualifications
OF their voters The agitation of the
negro-trancbise question in the Dis
trict of Columbia, he thought, was i'll
timed, and mere entering wedge TO
It's agitation throughout the States.
