A recent telegram from New York says:
1t is said here that 800 Fenians have left
New York for Northwest Territory to assist
Riel in his contest with the Canadian au-
thorities. Capt. John McCafferty, who was
supposed to be NO. l." has been in this
city consulting with the Irish leaders during
the last five days, and he left for the West
to-day with an Irishman who has Just
ended ten years of service as an officer
in the United States army. They go
to take charge of the Fenian expe-
dition. Two of Reils agents accompa-
MED them, and one remained behind.
w. ID. Rohan, member of the Fenian Ex-
ecutive Committee, said to-day that the
rumors that the Fenians intended to help
Riel had good foundation. He would say
no more. The members of the expedition
will go to Chicago, thence to st. Paul, and
thence to Battleford, Manitoba. From

quotas raised in the different cities were as
follows: New York. 300; Brooklyn, 100;

Character of the Rebels.

A recent dispatch from Ottawa, Canada,
says A gentleman, now living here, who
was at one time in the employ of the Hud-
snn BAY Company ialla snmathina of the
character of the half breeds who are stimu-
lating the uprising in the Northwest. He
says that after the Red River rebellion a
large number of these half breeds moved
into Montana and located on Milk River.
In the very nature OF things it could
hardly be possible for such desper-
ADDE'S to remain quiet for any length
of time, and subsequently they organized
bands to plumber stores in the vicinity.
The United States authorities sent Sheriff
Healy and his deputies to arrest them and
confiscate the plumber. The majesty of the
law, however, was not vindicated by the
officers, all three of whom were captured
and kept as prisoners for full week. By
way of breaking the monotony the officers
were daily marched to tree in close prox-
unity to the encampment, and the mock
ceremony of lynching carried out, amid the
jeers of the outlaws. They were finally
rescued by the United States troops, who
recaptured the stores and drove most Of the
half breeds back to British territory. This
was in 1880.
