The advance company was from Burlington,
and was commanded by Captain VIM. Cronan,
of that city. At the conclusion OF General
O'Neil's address he lifted his hat and replied:
"GeneraL am preudt hat Vermont has the
honor of leading this advance. Ireland may
depend upon us to d. our duty"
The advance we chen resumed by flank IN
the open road, and as Captain Cronan's com
pany passed Richards's House, and were de-
scending a little hill towards the liIie, they
were surprised by a sharp volley from some
Canadian troops, whose position had been con-
cealed. The fire was instantly returned oy
Captain Cronan's men, and quite sharp fire
was kept up for some time.
The Canadians were posted behind rocks
and trees, and had Of course the advantage OF

of the Fenians was killed and Captain Cronan
wounded in the thigh. The skirmish was
witnessed by number OF citizens. United

Failey took a. commanding position part OF the
way up the hill, and were under fire all the
time. At about o'clock, when General ONeil
had gone to the right Of his command, Gene
raj Foster had his close carriage brought near
the position, and Immediately arrested Gene

The officials leaped into their seats and their
horses left in hot haste. The general arrived
at the Weeden House, in this village, at
o'clock. O'Neil was soon after arraigned De-
fore United States Commissioner Jacob M.

STEPHENS REALLY DEAD.-From Raleigh
papers of Thursday we learn that the report
recently received there relative to the death
of. W. Stephens. president ofthe Senate, from
Caswell County, was really true. The last
time he was seen alive was in the courthouse
at Yanceyville last Saturday, on the occasion
Of Democratic meeting, which place he left
in company with friend. He was not dis
covered until next morning, when he was dis
covered in the Office OF clerk and master in
equity, with rope around hia neck, his throat
cut in two places, and knife wound in the
body. The affair is shrouded in great mystery,
as no facts were elected at the examination
before the jury of inquest tending to convict
any one. Governor Holden has issued pro-
clamation offering $500 reward for :he mur-
derer.

ALL ABOUT THE STATE.
A Narrow Escape.

The WinnsbOro' News says: Tuesday eve
ming last, while Mr.. S. Wolfe and children
were out riding, one of the traces belonging to
the buggy were slightly detached, when the
horses became frightened and ran off, the bug
gy was soon turned over and Mr.. w. and chill
dren, some three or four, were thrown to the
ground without serious injury. The buggy
was broken to pieces. IT was, indeed, mar
row escape"
An Important Decision.
The Anderson Intelligencer says: "At the
recent term Of the Court Of General Sessions
of this county, decision of some Importance
was rendered by his Honor, Judge Orr. A
warrant tor bastardy, some time ago, had been
referred for trial to Warren d. Wilkes, Esq,
magistrate. The defendant, by his attorney,
]. F. Reed, ESQ.,, filed plea to the jurisdic-
tlon of the court. The magistrate was dis
posed to sustain the plea to the Jurisdiction,
but overruled 1t in order that the case might
be sent up on appeal to the Circuit Court.
On Monday last, the whole case was fully ar
gued by Nj. Reed for the defendant, and Soil
ctor Perry on behalf Of the State. After con-
s!deretion, Judge Orr decided to sustain the
plea to the Jurisdiction, and held, that under
the present state of the law. neither magis-
trates nor trial JUSTICES have Ihe right 10 Try
that the law imposing penalty for bastardy
was not repealed, and reserved to himself the
right to decide, upon case presented, wheth-
er the Court Of Sessions did have the right to
try such offence We drew the inference Lhat
the Court of Sessions would take cognizance Of
bastardy."
Painful Accident.
The Greenville Enterprise says ION Friday
morning last, an accident occurred, by which
one of our citizens was slightly injured and
painfully inconvenienced. Whilst Mr.. B..
Wherle, jeweller, was doing a job of soldering.
the lamp which he was using which contained
alcohol, by means whereof the solder was
being melted, the top of the lamp very sud.
denly blew of, throwing the lighted liquid
inio his face and over portion Of his clothes;
flames, but not until receiving injuries about
his eyes and on his cheeks which will confne
him to his room for week or so. Mr.. W. may
congratulate himself that the accident was
not more serious in its character"
