is by no means abandoned, and that large detach-

10 enter the Dominion.
The First artillery battalion ana Battery D. under

Leaders OF the Tenians here adplt defeat. and
give up all hopes unless the arms on the frontier
reported seized recaptured. The feeling against
Gleason, Starr and, indeed, nearly all who drew
them TO the front is intense. and If they had
not run away 10 the interior they would have
treated them summary. The officers declare that
Gleason has all along been sending dispatches to
the press extoiling his own powers and detracting
rom the rem alton o! his associates. The impress
sion here is that an advance will be made on some
other POINT or tile line but not here. so ends the
fasco here.
Another detachment Of troops have left for some
unknown point to capture arms. Up TO last evening
5000 Inuskets were captured. Those secured to-day
