EDITORS ARGus.-In your issue of the
18th ult under the head of "where do they
come from" the question is asked if any body
can tell where the small batraehians come
from that are often found upon the ground
after heavy showers. ! have seen gTes,
many accounts OF the singular appearance
and coming of these animals, but never saw
anything satisfactory until once saw with
my own eyes their approach. When
noticed she article in your issue thought l
would communicate to you my experience.
Two years age about the first of August
I Witnessed heavy shower, when | saw
such animals fall with the rain. They are
probably taken into the clouds by strong
currents of air, and perhaps carried thous-
snds of miles before they fall to the ground

The Fenian Raid.

Again the Fenians are on the war path
and have already invaded British soil from
Vermont. Their design seems to be to
attack at three points. At Cooks Corner,
just across the line from Franklin, VT,
the first firing took place and the Canadi-
ans routed the Fenian column of about
900, under the command of Gen. O'Neil,
marching in solid column with no skirmish-
crs thrown out. Gen. O'Neil was arrested
near the line by the U. S. Marshal. in
a way. If all reports are true, reflects any
thin. but credit to his military ardor, and
the whole number Of Fenians appear dis
heartened and Disguised Mt the misman-
agcmcnt of their leaders. All other news
thus far arc only of active preparations
in most parts of the country to reinforce
them. The ". S. forces arc stationed near
the border.
Nothing but ruin or hardship and death
can come of this insane movement. Only
few of our countrymcn feel any especial
sympathy with Canada or anything de-
pendent upon England, but we have too
much sympathy with our Irish people to
willingly see them throw themselves away
in support of a project which is sure to ig-
ANONYMOUSLY fail.

POLITICAL.

Mr.. Lynch's paper seems to be unable
to explain about his opposition to the
Portland and Osdensburg Railroad. Per,
haps the Assessor will be good enough, IL
his duties rs assistant editor of the Press
will allow, Qhus happily having the Gov
crnment contribute directly and indirectly
in disseminating censorious news to the
pcoplo) to explain why the honorable
member from this District has failed un-
ill recently to make out his income re-
turns for three years rs required by law,
although repeatedly requested by the AS
sistant Assessor and also by tho prcdoccs-
sor of the present occupant, and whether
any return has been made for the year
1867. and If the law has been grossly vio-
lated, why the honorable gentleman was
not treated rs other people arc treated.
We have another important matter con-
corning which the people would like in
formation. of violated instructions from
the revenue Department.
There appears to be no doubt that an
Infamous amount of repeating was done,
mt the late election in New York. The
Democrats do not deny 1t, hut charge 1t
upon tho Republicans, whercupon the
Tribune calls attention to the. fact that
in the wards in which tho unprcccdents
vote indicates repeating, the Democratic
maioriticS are also unprecedented. Il
have nothing to say agin them s:isson-
gers" remarks the Tribune, Il only notice
that where them sasscngcrs is plenty dogs
is sca'co.'
Mr.. Lynch's shipping bill has been refused a
passage by the House. The Washington CORES
pondont Of the Boston JOURNAL says that II has
been reconstructed, but that nm entire new bill
may have to be presented in order to be passed.
The Boston Posr's Washington correspondent
says that the Select Committee on the Decline
of Commerce have decided TO strike out in Mr..
Lynch's bill all except the two first sections.
which reads very much like saying that "a dogs
tail was cut of close to his cars"

Lewiston. Maine, when abroad few
wears sncc. imported q full set Of ma
chinery for making yarns number 80, in
order to ascertain If il could be worked to
better advantage than on our machines,
and to give 1t an ample test he ordered
every machine for making yarns from
English builders. His experience after
three years trial. is, that the American
machinery is far better adapted to our
help, and the universal want among our
manufacturers is that of skilled labor
not that our operatives are not rs intclli-
gent rs the English, but we lack in that
labor which is skilled from long expert
cncc.
IL Messrs. Nudge and Lockwood are
ashamed of our position in New England
in tho manner Of making yarns, after
thirty years of experience, is it to be ex-
pcctcd that tire uuskilled labor Of the
South can bo made to exceed us in this
branch of business ? IfMr. Buckley will
come to New England, the Old England
of the United States for manufacturing,
he will find managers intelligent men
who are personally acquainted with the
operation Of every machine in use by
them from the picker to the loom. but he
will get one answer from alive do
not understand handling our cotton as do
the English; we use their machinery and
use better cotton"
We will Join hands with Mr.. Buckley
and his people in the effort to provide for
the South an industry or industries; but,
rs we remarked in u former article, it
must be an intelligent one. Our Ameri-
can machines are simpler in construction
than the English machines tho demand
in the South is for goods Of coarse yarn
from To %. Let them supply their own
demand. and when they can manufacture
that yarn, they may hope in time to man
ufacturo finer grade; but let them be
practical. throw aside this Utopian scheme
of the honorable gentleman of trying to
learn grammar before they learn the al
phabet, and no part of the country will be
more pleased and render them more ell
cient aid. than will our New England
people and their machine builders.
