New YORK, March 2O.-Nine car loads
of United States troops, forming an sx-
ira train, yesterday passed over the
Hudson River railroad. The men were
fully equipped and had with them oil
the necessary baggage for campaign.
They are destined, no doubt, for Oswego,
and are undoubtedly intended to oper-
ate against any movement OF Fenians
which may he attempted on the from
tiers of Canada. The Fenian news, by
the latest dispatches, gives little or no
announcement to the Brotherhood, and
there is a perfect stagnation in the ex-
element prevailing during the last
week, and the belief is becoming gener-
al that nothing. like an instruction was
initiated in Ireland, and that whatever
disturbance occurred was quickly and
speedily quelled.
The movement on Canada is, however,
attracting more general attention, and
it's inauguration is believed to be near
at hand. The city of Montreal has been
in a state of most unwarrantable ex-
citement for the last two or three days.
The most startling rumors were set
afloat to the effect that the great bridge
or the powder magazine was to be blown
up. An extraordinary cabinet council
was held, and it TRANSFERRED that more
troops had been telegraphed for to Eng
land.
The Heralds st. Adams, W., cores
pendent says: Many strange faces are
noticeable. and prObablythat town will
soon be the base Of Fenian column in
Canada. The riots which occurred on
st. Patrick's day were the subject of
exciting conversation among the pOpu-
lace. The wounded are still suffering
seriously. and although improving sew
eral of them are still in precarious
condition.
Advices from British Honduras to the
23d ult.. state that subsequent to their
late reverses the British troops gained
q very important victory over the In
dams, who had been raiding OH the col
onists. Quite number of Indians,
men, women and children, were killed
by the rockets thrown into n retreating
crowd. Many of their villages were
burned, and their cornhelds laid waste.
Considerable discomfort existed in the
public mind in Balize.
The Herald's Richmond correspond
ent says that Hunnicut is about can
wasting the State, in order to counter
act the influence excited by several |
prominent rebels, who, having accept
ed the situation, are now endeavoring
to influence the negro vote for their
own political ends. Hunnicut is con-
sidered good orator, and the question |
of opposing him TO Henry A. Wise ia
mooted. H.. !
A report says that Mr.. Wardwell, for
Mayor, heads municipal ticket nomi- |
mated by the negroes in Richmond.
The house carpenters of New York |
contemplate making demand Tor high |
er wages after April LIST.
A prize fight for 81 900 came oil yes
tertay morning near Douglasyille,
Berks county, Pa, between Kelley, OF
Philadelphia, and William Parkinson,
Of Pottsville, Pa. The fight lasted two
minutes. One round only was fought,
when Parkinson, who was getting the
worst of the punishment, seized Kelly
by the leg, which was foul, and Kelly
was declared the winner The affair
was witnessed by more than one thon-
sand persons.

dent yesterday sent To the Senate the
