AM Immense scare along. the Ganadal
line this tme,sand had some ,skrmishing
in which they came off 4 conf best, Eeaz'

field. The U. S. regulars seized the arm

iest'tersY @St.sA bans dispatches state thai
the town is. .runni1g over with FenianS
minus money, arms and ammunition, look
ing for some way to get back to theil
homes. 1t was expected that an attempt
would be made to break the .Welland
Canal, but the Canadians had plenty Of
troops in the vicinity. The Fenians have
BEEN unfortunate in their selec ion OF
commanders, in this raid, nearly all OF
whom have turned out to be towards u
Generals Gleason and O'Neil, Col.
Lindsay, Of New York, Dr. Donnelly, OF
Pittsburgh, Capt. Mann, ofsDIaione, and
other Fenian Leaders were arrested By
the United States authorities and march
ed off to the guard house. British troops
are stationed along the line to keep the
Fenians from attempting another raid.
Perhaps this is as good place rs any
to repeat what Col. James Fitzgerald,
recagnized as a leading Fenian aa we'll as
politici n, said to q small camp of FEM.
ans at Cincinnati on Monday of last week.
lie had been requested to serve on com
nittee to solicit funds to aid Genera

even worse, 1t will b. the certain slaughs-
RITA et,wsb brave, driuded men, and ali
tcrnal disgrace on the name of Ireland

~ greater illtreatni,;llt of thnst now saf
ering i'll the prison pens of England: il
will retard the cause Of Irish liberty, and
end to make it ridiculous in the eyes III
Aiensible men. Ina word this sQmxi,t Il.
.lurnbug is an outrage .cn the Irish race
tii'i is gotttf up by few 2dycnturcr>

" those "ho imagine that their honor
is at stake. and must fight anyhow They
ave neither arms,ammunition nor money,
md certain destruction and disgrace il
inevitable. We cannot afford to risk tn.
lives of brave men, and of bringing ob
oquy upon oppressed Erin by countc-
aancing any such wicked and absuru
proposition. Hence decline to hay,
anything to do with it."
The result of the expedition prove
that Col. Fitzgerald is true friend o.
his countrymen, and they should hay,
needed his advice.
