DATES TO MAY al.

Chica o, June 2.-The last report from Ca |
ada last nigat represents that troops were

confident expectation of u decisive result |
to-day.

pithlse with the Sweeney movement.
Gen. Sweeney was confidently expected,
but did not come. Tomorrow will prove
whether this is true or not.
Detroit, June The details from the
scene of the Fenian invasion which arrived
this morning, show that no collision took
place last night, and no blood was shed save
the rumored shooting Of DR.. Simpson Keevil,
NJ .yor OF Fort Erie, while reaiing The Riot
Act
Post Colbourne, at the entrance of the
Wellanl Canal, was occupied last nigut by
Canadian troops, and several hundred vol
unteers were also last night within short
distance Of Chippewa. Toe Feuidn depreda-
tions are therefore confined to few miles
radius about Fort Erie. Volunteers are rap
idly pouring forward to the neighborhood
from every Town on the Canadian railway.

defense on the Niagara frontier. Matters in
Detroit are ve.y quiet, but over 1000 men

Buffalo, June 2.-The river, last evening,
from Blackjack to Tonawanda, was filled
with small boats carrying Fenians to Canada.
1t is reported that three Fenians vessels. full
OF troops and some cannon, are at Gravelly
Bar. The Niagara river was patroled last
night by the United States steamer Michigan

nan invasion of Canada. 1t is also stated
that twelves regiments of State militia are tt
be called out.
LATER A. M.-The Fenians evacuated
Fort Erie this morning, moving toward thu

ting the Welland canal. Two companies o
volunteers, comprising 1875 men, came dow

and took possession of Fort Erie, whenc
they sent out skirmshing parties in all di
rections.

me sd. Louis Republiean OF the 2lgt says:

Among the news items from the mines, the
Helena Republican gives this instance of business
in Confederate Guleh: We saw yesterday on de-
post at Herschfeld's Bank bar which weighed
one hundred and ninety-eight ounces, and was run
by J. Rosenthal. The owner Of this golden brick
unloaded at Herschfelds on Tuesday afternoon a
safe containing five hundred pounds of clean gold
dust which, together with two hundred pounds
more, was the product of two and half months
work upon Montana bar, Confederate Gulch.
Eight men were constantly employed with by
draulic works during the time specified. The
owner of the claim made seven hundred pounds
of gold clear of expenses. Six other parties upon
the same bar have been equally successful as the
person of whom we speak.

A Staunton correspondent Of the abingdon
e V1giAian, whom we recognize as an intelligent
gentleman who has recently located here, in
speaking of Stanton, says:
''In regard to Stanton, can tell you moth
with which you are not familiar. The charac-
tcristic Of Staunton is that it is emphatically a
business place" It is the central point of
trade in this great valley. Farmers, traders and
producers OF all kinds, from this and adjacent
counties, empty their products here. The main
street is often crowded with wagons small and
great, in which may be seen everything common
among the producers Of this country. bIer-
chants chiefly are the buyers, and the citizens
here and in Richmond are the consumers.
