LOUISVILLE, May 25.-The subject of
most intense interest to-day was the recep-
tioa OF the delegation from the Northern
Presbyterian Church, consisting of Rev.
DR.. Backus, of Baltimore, Rev. DR.. Van
Dyke, of Brooklyn, aud Hon. W. E. Dodge,
of New York.
They presented the resolutions of that
assembly expressive of fraternal regards
and confidence, and followed them with
remarks, in which they stated that they
came not to ask for reunion; not to ask
for immediate correspondence, but to ask
the appointment Of committee to meet a
similar committee appointed by the North
ern Assembly and confer respecting various
matters of difference arising from adjacent
bodies on questions Of jurisdiction, prop
erty and rights between the two Assem-
blies, and secure, if possible, the adjust
ment of all differences between the two
bodies on a basis that shall be Just to all
parties ard worthy Of Christian men.
The scene while they we're speaking, the
breathless interest, the deep emotion,
formed a scene that will not soon be for
gotten. and the kind words of the speakers
evidently found Judgment in the hearts
of those to whom they were addressed.

MONTREAL, May 25.-The following has
been received from the frontier. The
Fenians attacked Col Smiths outpost at
Ere i,esbure. About 100 Fenians advanced
in column, with an advance guard about
200 strong. Our men repulsed the attack;
Fenian loss, three killed and several
wounded; Canadian loss, SO far, none. The
Fenians were not fred on until they crossed
the line.
LArER-The Fenians have fallen back
Between two and three hundred left Port
land for Island Pond this morning. The
United States authorities seized twenty-slx
packages of arms at Portland,
There is Fenian demonstration towards
Huntingdon. From 300 to 500 marched

ments of the third section Of the act of
Feb. s, 1854. ., 49,.
One hundred thousand dollars 10 beaels
issued when the first ten miles Is graded;
ami when six additional miles is graded,
sixty thousand dollars more is issued; and
as if to more openly disregard the require
ments of the law, tie Governor makes u
certificate in his official capacity, that the
road is graded and ready for the iron,
and entitled to the bonds, thereby assum-
ing the functions of a railroad engineer,
and actually assisting 70 disregard the
law. e
The bonds have, in every instance,
been sold at less than their par value,
which IS in direct violation of the pro-
visions of the law.
And to make it the more apparent how
little attention was given to the wise and
salutary provisions of the internal i'm
provement laws of the State, it is only
necessary to state that the amount of indi-
vidual stock paid in is S2,S7S, while the
State has issued $40, 600 in bonds.
From the estimates made by The en-
gineer, and the machinist, and the re-
ceiver, it appears that the road is worth
$3.50, 155.
This includes the $40, 900 in the note of
G. Powell, which is regarded worthless,
and consequently would leave the road,
with all lis property and assets, worth
only about $5714, Pa, or about Sl35, 745
less than the principal debt of the State,
saying nothing about the interest due
from the road on the bonds.
It appears also that 50, 900 in cash, pro
cecds of State bonds, was paid back to the
State in interest, which, in the opinion of
the committee, was in direct violation of
the law. The committee would suggest
that some legislation should be enacted to
save the State from the constantly ac-
cumulating loss by accruing interest and
the failure of the roaI to pay its current
expenses.
With these observations, the committee
beg leave to submit this as the report on
the Knoxville and Charleston railroad
