dispatch Of Saturday says Gen. Starr, of Gin
cinnati, crossed the line at Trout river at seven
o'clock Friday morning, and advanced with a
command not numbering more than 800, about
800 yards, when they deployed on the right and
left of the road, the extreme right resting on
Trout river. They had not occupied the posi-
ton long when the British and Canadians
emerged from the woods a little in front and
on the other side of the Fenians. The Cana
dams, consisting of 500 of the 69th under Gen.
Bagot and 300 Huntington volunteers, march
ed down the road from Huntington, and on
reaching Holbrook, depoyed west by lane, in
order to flank the Fennns. On coming with
in range the Canadians opened fire with desul-
tory vOlleys taking the Fenians by surprise.
The line of battle was at once formed by the
British, and sharp, steady fire opened on the
Fenians
A rail fence in front of the latter was at once
converted into stOckade. The Fenians were
told by Gen. Starr to keep up steady fire, and
for tel minutes Obeyed the orders and stopped
the advance OF the British.
Before the expiration of ten minutes the
Canadian troops, Outnumbering the Fenaus,
made movement as if they intended to flank
them, when Starr formed his rear guard and a
retreat was ordered. The Fenians became de-
moralized owing to the incompetency of their
force, aud retreated pell-mell across the line,
IedVlDS one Killed, one prisoner ana tWO wound

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT ON OCEAN Ca
BLEs The State Department has just re-
ceved from the French government formal
request to allow the landing Of one end
Of the French cable on American soil, an
nouncing at the same time that the policy of
exclusiveness with regard to landing of ocean
cables on the shores of France has been en-
trely abandoned. This is new and salts
factory feature in the history Of international
ocean communication by telegraph. Our gov
ernment of course, will promptly accept the
proposition of France. The permission
granted to land the cable of the French Cable
Company temporarily on part of our coast
will therefore be made permanent under this
wise concession Of the French government.
The monopoly being abandoned, and reci-
procity being thus completed, we may hope
soon to see an American line with its term-
nus on the French coast, and a new connec-
ton with Europe formed which will relieve
us from the necessity of relying altogether
upon the English cable for the transmission of
news. We look to this as the beginning of a
more liberal spirit in the matter of interna-
tional telegraphic correspondence.

sSERyILE LABOR. Mr.. Stewart, of
Nevada, is not good republican up to the
standard of the fifteenth amendment. He
wants to make distinctions against yellow
John Chinaman, and takes as pretext against
him the way in which he apprentices himself
and in which contracts are made for his labor.
He docs not want ''servile labor to compete
with free labor in this country" But where is
the element of slavery in the Chinese labor,
where certain service is rendered and a
stipulated pay given? Is John Chinaman' s
labor servie because he moves in companies !?
Is it the combination of many laborers that
makes labor scrvile? Then what does Mr..
Stewart say to the trades unions and their
rules made to control the free action of
individuals?
