New YORK, March 20.-Nine car
loads of United States troops, form
ing an extra train, yesterday passed
over the Hudson River Railroad.
The men were fully equipped, and
had with them all necessary baggage
for campaign. They are destined
for Oswego, and are undoubtedly in
tended. to operate against any move
ment of the Fenians which may be
attempted on the frontiers of Canada.
The Fenian news by the latest dis
patches gives little or no encourage
ment to the Brotherhood.
There is a perfect stagnation in the
excitement which prevailed during
the last week, and the belief is be-
coming general that nothing like an
insurrection was initiated in Ireland,
and whatever disturbance occurred
was quick ly and easily quelled.
The movement on Canada is, how
ever, attracting more general atten-
ton, and its Inauguration is believed
/ to be near at hand. The city of Mon
treal has been in state of unwar-
rantable excitement for the last two
or three days. The most startling
rumors were set ahoat to the effect
that the Victoria Bridge, or the pow
der magazine, was to be blown up.
An extraordinary Cabinet Council
was held, and, as it. transpired, more
troops had been telegraphed for to
England. At St. Albans, Vermont,
says the Heralds correspondent,
many strange faces are noticeable,
and, probably, that town will soon be
the base of Fenian column in Can
ada.
The riots which occurred on St.
Patriek's Day was the subject of ex-
cited conversation among the public
generally, and the policemen es
pecially, yesterday. The wounded
are still suffering seriously, and al
though improving, several of them
are still in a precarlous condition.
Advices from British Honduras, to
the I'D ult., state that subsequent
to their late reverses,. the British.
troops gained very important victory
over the Indians, who had been raid
ing on the colonists. Quite number
of Indian men, women, and children
were killed by rockets thrown into a
retreating crowd. Many of their vii
lagos were burned and their corn
fields laid waste. Considerable dis
content exists in the public mind in
Balise.
The Herald's Richmond correspon-
dent says that Hunnicut is about can
vasing 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 negroes to vote for their
own political ends. Hunnicut is con-
sidered coed orator, and the ques-
tion of opposing him with Henry A.
Wise is mooted.
A report says that Wardwell, for
Mayor, heads municipal ticket nom
mated in Richmond. II
The house carpenters Of the city of
New York contemplate making de-
mand for higher wages on and after
April 1st.
"A prize fight for one thousand dol
lars came off yesterday morning near
Douglasville, Berks County. Pa, be-
tween Thomas Kelly, Of Philadelz
phia, and William Parkinson, of
Pottsville, Pa. The fight lasted two
minutes, one round only being fought
when Parkinson, who was getting the
worst of the punishment, seized
Kelly by the leg, which was foul, and
Kelly was at once declared the win
ner. The affair was witnessed by
more than one thousand persons.
The Times special says the Presi-
dent yesterday sent to the Senate the
name of VIM. Dorsheimer for United
States District Attorney for the
Northern District of New York, and
! A. Buckhardt, Postmaster at Sing
Sing.
It is stated that Senator Conness,
| of California, will decline re-nomi-
nation. His term expires with this
Congress.
The Herald's special says the peo
pie of Buckingham County, Virginia,
held meeting on Monday last, al
which the military bill was indorsed
and their Representatives instructed
to vote for. call for convention
though nothing had been previously
said upon the subject.
The 1ribune's special says the Sup.
Elementary Reconstruction bill will
be sent to the President to day, and
it is thought he will veto it immedi-
ately, so Congress can pass it over the
veto and adjourn on Saturday OF
4 Monday next.
