The Fenian InvasIon.-Tho First Battle
The Prospect.


The Fenians have drawn their first blood on
the enemy's soil. They have had their first
battle, advancing to the work with the steadi-
ness Of veterans and driving the enemy be-
fore them. They have shown that upon any
thing like equal terms the Canadian volun-
teers are no match for them and that the
Roberts-Sweeny organization are resolved at
least to give the Saxon some convincing proofs
that they mean to strike him where they can
most conveniently find him nor can we per-
ceive, whatever may be the sequel of this ad-
venture, that it will be prejudicial to the
Irish cause. In any event it will serve to
consolidate the Irish race throughout the
world and to convince England that with
out large concessions to the just demands
Of the Irish people they must henceforth be
constant source Of danger to the integrity of
the British empire, not only in Ireland, but in
every quarter Of the globe.


As to the strategical dispositions and objects
Of this Fenian movement upon Canada, they
are 90 ''inexplicably mixed up" in our reports
that we find it difficult to disentangle them.
As we understand them, however, the advanced
corps operating at the west end of Lake On
tario. under O'Neill, is only diversion to
draw the available forces of the enemy to that
quarter, while the main body Of Fenians is
moving into Canada, some two hundred
miles or more below, at Cornwall, or
thereabonts, on the ST. Lawrence. ONeill,
in short, is playing the part Of Joe Johnston in
the Shenandoah valley, while Sweeny, like
Beauregard, is preparing for the main attack
at Bull run. This is the plan Of soldier, and
| If actively followed up the Fenians may carry


the Canadian capital before Nova Scotia can
come to the rescue. Now, Killian, is the time
| for Campobello. A diversion at both ends will
widen the way for "the men in the gap" under


Sweeny. Confuse the enemy; "bother 'em"


along the whole line and you may choose your
gateway to the Saxon camp.


This enterprise, however, is daring and


desperate one. Watched by the United States


authorities at every important military poin,


along the frontier-having to steal over the
Niagara or the st. La wrence as bes. they can
| without ammunition trains, artillery or sup
plies, and having to commence the active work
of foraging and fighting the moment they are
| over the border-there would seem to bt
| not half the chance for Sweeny and hi
| Fenians that there was in the outse
for the Canadian insurrectionary move


ment Of Papineau and Mckenzie in 1887. A


vigorous rising of the Irish and old French re-


volutionary elements of Canada appears TO be


the only chance OF salvation TO Sweeny; but a,


yet we have had not even the premonitory


symptoms of any such effective local co-opera


ton. An armed invasion Of any country


though commanding the sympathies Of the


great body Of the people, must bring with il


some evidences of strength and safety before


it can attract recruits to any extent along its


line OF march. 1t was so even with William Of


Orange in his formidable invasion Of England


for the overthrow Of the obnoxious James the


Second The people first required to know his


strength and his chances before they Joined
him. II was 80 in the case Of Richmond against


the detestcd Richard The Third. True, the
great Napoleon, with an invading force Of six
hundred men from Elba, recovered his empire
from the Bourbon; but that was spontaneous
| welcome from all France and q case without a
parallel in history.
