Brave Charge of GENERAL DonueIIy-A Bullet

In the Fields near 81 Aibaas-U. s. Regulars
Patroliins the Town
ST. ALBANs, VT, May 26-The present Fe-
nian demonstration, which is quickly drawing
70 close, will unquestionably share the fate of
it's predecessors, and end in defeat. The cap
ture of General O'Neill who now lies prisoner
in Burlington Jail, combined with the sad re-
suits of yesterdays encounter and the constant
arrival of United States regular troops by every
train, has tended to dishearten and demoralize
the Fenian forces in this locality. With the
Canadians in front and our regulars behind, all
further attacks on the Canadians are useless
here.
AFTER THE BATTLE-GEN. DoNNELLY's FATE.
The road this morning between Franklin and
st. Adams was thronged with straggers. Many
of them were coatless, and but very few were
armed Cpon their arrival here they were
questioned concerning the fate of General j. j.
Donnelly and his companions who were left in
barn surrounded by the Canadians One of the
stragglers very intelligent Irishman, gave "a
vivid description of the manner in which the
General and those who accompanied him were
rescued, and the finale of yesterdays battle. He
said that in order to divert the attention of the
Canadian volunteers the Fenians opened brisk
fire on the enemy from
A BRASS CANNON,
which they placed in a commanding position on
the brow of hill. The Canadian militia, at
this unexpected attack, and not suspecting the
stratagem, formed themselves into line, and
marched against the Fenians. Hardly had the
Canadians proceeded respectful distance, when
General Donnelly and his comrades Immediately
sailed forth. Their movements were observed.
The Canadians wheeled about and discharged
volley at the fugitives.
GENERAL DoNNELLY FELL
pierced by bullet near the spine, and would
have been instantly taken prisoner had his COM
panions not seized hold of him and carried him
almost senseless within the Fenian lines. He
was then placed in an ambulance and carried to
the Franklin House, which had been converted
into
A FENIAN HOSPITAL.
It's present inmates besides General Donnelly,
whose condition is pronounced dangerous, are
Charles Carleton, of Cambridge, VT, aid-de-
camp on General O'Neills staff who has slight
flesh wound in the right leg: James Keenan,, of
Fort Edward shot through the right ankles

the left hip; and Francis Carman, of Bridgeport
Conn.,, dangerously wounded in the groin.
Lieutenant Edward j. Hope, who received a
pital this morning by his friends. With the
wounding of General Donnelly, the battle ended.
Intelligence of the abandonment of the eXpe-
ltion, was in short time conveyed to the
Canadian camp. The Kanucks cheered Justify
and threw their caps high in the air at hearing
the welcome news.
The Canadian commander, as soon as his army
had given full vent to their joy, ordered
THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD.
The dead bodies had been stretched upon the
hillside since yesterday. The body of John
Rowe, who was the first to fall in the attack,
was seized and carelessly tossed into an exca-
walton three feet deep, and amid libes and jeers,
the clay was shovelled over it. The remaining
bodies on the hillside and in the brook were
taken in charge by Americans and decently
inferred.
