ALBA Y, June 3.-There has been
great excitement among the Fenians
here to-day, and unusual activity. The
news of the capture Of Colonel O'Neill
and his four officers seems to have given
renewed energy to the different organi.
cations in this CITY, and meetings of
consultation are attended by some of the
most prominent and influential Irish
men. The presence of General Sweeney,
he having arrived here this morning, has
added to the enthusiasm of the friends
and sympathizers of the army Of inva'
sion.
General Sweeney has been in consul |
tation with varisus gentlemen at the |
Delevan House The object of his visit |
here is of course secret, and his desti- |
nation is also unknown. 1t is stated,
however, that he will leave the city to-
night, and it is believed he will proceed
Northward Leaders i'll this city say the
onerations IN the vicinity of Buffalo
were intended as a foint, ana that all
has been accomplished in that locality
that was expected
They also say that the grand move
ment has been made or soon will be
many miles distant from Buffalo. 1t is
even stated with considerable con-
fidence that fighting has been in pro-
gress in another quarter today
It. is well kRown here that the recruits
for the Fenian army who went from this
CITY, and those from other places who
passed through here during the past
week, went upon the Rome and Water.
town road. This strengthens the belief
that more formidable operations than
any vet developed are contemplated on
the NORTH ern frontier.
The Fenians now are sanguine OF ul'
innate success, but are not very COM
municative No proclamation will be
issued by the Governor calling out State
troops unless it shall be deemed neces-
sary for the protection of State or pri-
vate property, or upon request OF Gen.
Grant.
General Sweeney left on the night

Fenians, composed of New Workers and
Albanians left for the West on the same
