numbering 1000, are moving into Canada on
the right bank of the st. Lawrence-will prob
ably strike Canada near Huntington, and seize

midabe movement is organizing to attack
Montreal, and the en1 is not yet Railroads
are torn up, telegraphs destroyed, etc.
TIE NET BASE OF opERAT GINS.
Numerous dispatches received this evening
from Buffalo. Rome, Albany and other points
in central and western New Yoik, indicate
as the next base of operations. The excite
| ment is increas ing and the funds are accumu-
lating, but nothing decisive has yet occurred.

that the excitement and suspense on the Can
ada side is awful.

the Hubbard farm last night-only one man

THE RETREAT FROM PIGEON HILL.
TORONTO, May 26-From the best informa-
ton received here of the Fenan raid SO far as
Pigeon Hill is concerned, is looked on as a
miserable failure. The Fenians are now re-
treating leaving their arms and baggagHbehind
them. There was no loss of life on the Cana
dian side.
NEW OBJECTIVE POINT.
Huntington is now the principal point of H.
terest, where every necessary preparation has
been Tade.
THE FARCE ENDED.
The Fenian movement may be now looked
upon as having virtually collapsed. Struggling
parties may give little trouble yet. The pre-
| para,ions are SO complete that nothing but an
entire defeat will attend any further attempts
| at invasion. Tue story of the Indians having
attacked the troops at Sault st. Marie cannot
| be traced to any reliable source, and the latest
| advicas say nothing about it. On the Niagara
| and Detroit frontier there is a sufficient force
| in readiness to repel any attempt TO enter the
| country.
