1t is reported that he may be sent to Fortress
Monroe, in case the cholera should become pre-
valent in this city.
The rank and file of the Fenians are very
despondent at this usage of their leaders, while
they have such hard times to get anything
to eat
By the latest report General Sweeney was
arrested in bed at st. Albans. He asked the priv-
lege of his captors of retaining his sword his
new patentleathers, and his photograph album.
The officers who arrested him behaved very gen.
tlemanly towards him, Knocked at his room
door before they came in, one of them knocking
the lock off, making ii unnecessary for the
General to get out OF bed to open the door.

the Fenlans at the Government expense-those
he can get hold of.

would pass through Watertown on Wednesday.
Many OF the residents who were watching out
for his staff saw him carrying a sword instead,
which fact gave rise to many warlike rumors.
The General was on his way to capture Sweeney,
but as Sweeney and l50 Fenians were on the
same train Of cars behind General Meade, and
the orders of the Railroad Company being very
strict about "passng from car to car while the
train is in notion" prevented General Meade
from capturing Sweeney and the $50 Fenians on
the spot.
Nine cases of arms and fifteen cases of cholera
were landed here this morning, and were imme.
diately seized by the United States Marshal
The arms were turned over to the authorities,
and several of the citizens took the cholera.
There is report of fight between two Fenians
on the Canal north Of here. They are employed
as drivers on rival canal boats. II is thought
that the riot will be quelled.
Ninety one armed Fenians were captured by
the United States steamer Michigan without
difficulty. II they had had two arms, the ninety
would probably have shown some fight.
The British colors captured by the Fenians at
the battle of Ridgeway were such as belonged to
Boat Club there, and were only water coIors
and, of course, were bound TO run.
The Captain OF the steamer Michigan now has
10 many Fenians boarding with him that he
says he is tired of the

to the country, chiefly on account of the bigh
rents IN the city. rr.r
he rumor that an attempt would be made to
capture the Bank at this place (Which is situated
twenty feet above high-water mark), caused a
sudden removal of deposits theretrom last night.
The run made upon the Bank during the spring
freshets had previously removed great part of
the deposits in front of the town, and made the
place more healthy that it had been before for
years.
It is understood that Habeas Corpus will
be suspended in Canada as warning TO other
Irishmen, and that one Fenian spy had been
tried by drumhead, and the drumhead was
the first 10 give way, and the whole thing fell
through.
Michael Murohy, leader of the Canadian
Fenians, is a relative of Murphy the common
'tater, and will probably get himself into hot
water.
The action of the United States Government
in arresting the leaders of the expedition gives
great satisfaction, particularly to the leaders
arrested; but the action of the Canadian author
tiles in arresting some has not been so salisfaC
tory to the parties.
FRANKLIN, Pa, June T. Special. - Three
hundred Fenans marched to the depot, and
then marched back again. Such rash 'uns will
not not sustain the army long.

HONE OF THE BUFFALO, June A gentleman
Just from the other side states positively that at
the battle of Waterloo, yesterday, there were no
pixies found in the Lake opposite that place,
nothing but catties have been seen there. The
telegraph announced to-day that General Meade
and United States Disteict-Attorney Dart had
gone 10 Pot, but further despatch finished the
sentence by adding-Sdam, which the operator
had neglected in his fright to send with the first
despatch.
The report that Head Centre Day is captured
is not true. 1t was, indeed, acknowledged that
the Kanucks had won the Day, but it did not
allude to the Head Centre OF that name. He is
here in safety, experimenting the manufacture
of Pontoons for crossing the Lake; the Irish
soldiers, having been on the Potomac, can march
TO toons of that nature without having to keep
step.
1t was reported that
