$50 Fenfans, thirty Of whom were smuggled on
board by means OF tickets passed by those inside
to others In the depot, thus hood winking Uncle
Sam's regulars who were guarding the train
to prevent general raid upon the cars by impe-
cunious Fenans The conductor, when he found

OF his other passengers. Every station
along the route was thronged by the resi-

Scarcely had the rrao reached this town than the
Fenan renforcenlents assembled In the open square
In front OF the Ferguson House, and by
a series OF numbers soon formed IN ms.
terious column, and disappeared, ike all
previous bodies In the dlrectiog OF Huntingdon
on the Canada side. This last body OF men swells
the aggregate number OF Fenians to 1000, and they
are evidently under control There are scarcely any
lOterers in town.
The Fenian base of operations Is now
on Trout River, eleven miles from here,
which intersectlng stream forms the boun-
dairy line. The main body crossed tho river
this afternoon, aud citizens here who
have visited the scene Of operations state that the
advance is fully four miles the other side and
within seven Of the village OF Huntingdon. Gen.
eral Gleason, who arrived this afternoon from
New York, has also gone to the front. He states
that fully 10000 men are on their way from var-
Gus points. Nearly all who have put In an appear
ance here are in uniform aud out OH the 'front.' They
appear to have plenty of arms and have already &C.
cured two small pieces Of artillery, though the
source Is as yet unknown. Ammunition is also apun-
dant.
Judging from the tenor OF the remarks made by
the Canadian officers near Franklin Centre, and by
our own officers at st. Abans nfer that the move
ments ON Trout river VIII not be spoiled BY so sud
