The night has passed quietly. The Fenians at Trout River lines have been re- inforced during the night, chiefly by arri- vals from Massena. They are now so strong that it is thought they may venture a- cross. Col. McEa,cbran is prepared for such an event.. - May 26, 11 a. m. At ten o'clock a body of Fenians crossed the lines, and after destroying the telegraph wiresin IM'Ir. Holbrook's store, they advanced as far as Hendersonville, two miles on this side. Reinforcements are j ust coming in, and it is prabable an advance will be made. It is not known (whether the Fenians are in full force or riot. . May 26, 9 a. m.. The situation to night is that the Fenians have left their old .position at the Trout Ri- ver lines, and moved to the Canada side ; their advanced guards being about two miles. from the boundary line. They have spent the day in drilling and idling about, nla„ y apparently wishing to go home again, and are offering their rifles for sale. Of their number it is impossible to get a reliable estimate. Uniforms have been served out to them, and they look bettei than they did gest r - day.. The uniform is a shako, 'green coat, and blue pants; with black belt, They have committed no outrages so far, and did noinjury to Holbrook's store be- yond destroying the telegraph. They stop all travellers. ST ALBARS, May 26, 1:45 p. m.. It is reported that the Fenians have twenty-five pieces of artillery, one battery consisting of five breach -loaders. Veterans of the American army estimate the armam- ent and arras in the neighborhood suthcient for at least 5,000 men. CORNWALL, May 26. -Cornwall for the last `forty-eight hours has been in -a, ferment. Shortly after midnight on Weclnesd.zy scouts came in here announcing that large bodies of Fenians were moving bet ween I otsdam and Massenra en route for the Cornwall Ca- nal. Between miclnight and 8 a.m., nearly 300 waggons laden with arms, pork and hard tack and guarded by a force estimated at between 900 and 1,000 men, encamped in two divisions, one from the Raiq.uet River, about six miles from Cornwall, two from Hogazrsburgs and three . from St. Regis. They remained in camp all day through yes- terday until late last (Wednesday) night, when, according to reliable information, they moved east in the .direction of Trout River.- Cornwall and .. the vicinity imme- diately set about preparing for a Fenian re- ception on a grand scale. ST. JOHNS, May 26, 6 p.m. 1 have just arrived here and find the town in bustle of excitement ; the s Alton on is surto ujided by a dense crowd of people, and thealiailway folks find it difficult to discharge freight from the trains. Every one seems to be ignorant of the movements of the chops and filled with but one idea the defeat of the Fenians at Pigeon Hill. So connplete was the victory at Pigeon Hill, that the whole of the Missisquoi fron- tier is deserted by the Fenians. The Fenians are advancing in force at Hemmingford. The Montreal Royals are here. The Hochelaga, Victoria, and Prince of Wales battalions were forwarded to St. Ar- mand from here last night. This movement it is supposed, was made to repel the threat- ened attack from St Albans, as they :return here to -night. May 26, 10 p.m. The excitement is dying out here. The Fenians are moving from the Missiquoi border, probably- with the intention of rein- forcing the body 'w hich is advancing,,, en Hemmingford. All our troops on the Mis- siquoi frontier are being 'withdrawn, but will remain here to -night, awaiting further orders. I cannot give you details respect- ing the movements of our troops, as tele- graph operators have received strict orders not to transmit any such news for publica- tion. A train has just arrived with nearly a thousand volunters from the Missiquoi fron- tier, who are billeted in town for the night.` They are the same troops that were sent from here to St. Armand last night. On the way to Pigeon hill to -day they met with none of the enemy, but picked uplarge num- bers of Fenian rifles and knapsacks thatthe Fenians had thrown away in their flight when defeated by our men yesterday. The Volunteers brought back several rifles as trophies, and they were–handeid round among the crowd who .surrounded . the station, and were examined with as much interest and curiosity as if they - had been the weapons of the ancients. MAT.oNE, N. Y., May 26, 10 p.m.. About 1:30 2 Fenians arrivedihere to -day by way of the Watertown and,' Rome Rail- way, from Buffalo, and started for Trout River at once. _ General Gleason, of Vir ginia, accompaniedthem, and is to take the command. - The camp at ^ St. Albans is broken up, and this evening's train from the east brought 150 men who had formed 2, part of the expe- dition on 'the St. _Albans frontier. It is expected that the main force will come on here from St. Albans to-morrcw morning. - From this point of view -the matter looks more formidable than it did last night, as it appears that there will be a concentration of the whole Fenian force on the Hunting- ton. border. The arrivals here to -day foot- up over 250, and it is probable the whole number near the border,- north of this place ands Pottsdam is about 900 men. They occupy a'very favorable point for making a dash on Canada, as they'aredistant from the railway and out of the reach of the telegraah. They have plenty of supplies and arms. :All the pork in this place has been bought up for their ase. The 4 o'clock train this afternoon will carry 1,400 men, under command of Col. McMahon, an ex -Confederate officer. 'The men are said to be veterans of the late war, and.nost of them are able to pay their own expenses. They will probably go to Malone, where an army of more than 7,000 men is said by the Fenians to be fully equipped and ready for the field; Col. Gaynor will leave the city to -night with 1,000 men, but no correct surmise can be made in regard to their destination, even the railroad they are to go by is kept a pro- found secret from the men, but rumours are afloat that they are intended for some point west. Cc lo Byron, Colonel O'Leary, Capt. Lindsay, and other officers, who command- ed the Irish Volunteers in the Catharine Whiting expedition .to Cuba, that was .cap- tured at Gardner's Island, have all gone to - the front. It is reported, not on good authcrity, that there are -22,000 men on the border now, who are making ready for the field as quick- ly as possible. UTICA,N. Y., May 26. Advices from Ronne s:: y ,that great ex- citement exists there regarding the Fenians, 2,800 expected; and were to arrive there to- day, 'for the north. The Fenians claim to have enlisted several noted ex -rebel generals, among them General Mosby. Empty cars are held in readiness for the Rome, Water -- town and Ogcl ensbm g rail ways. The Fenian leader is in Rome furnishing transportation to all. NEw. YoBY, May 2C. The city .is full of rumours in regard to Fenians. That many of them have left the city within the last forty-eight hours there is no doubt, but for what point is unknown. Special -despatches with reference .II to their movements on the frontier -in substance are the same as sentlast night. • Late \V ashiug• ton advices: state that several despatches hytve been received at the State .t)eparrnrent from the United -States Marshals ;Along the borcleres, giving information of t1 e g .therirrg of -large bodies of men in more or lass num- bers along the United States line; but the telegrams give no detail of their intention or of the proboble place of rendezvonr. Prompt measures hive been taken for the sepreesiou of their riotous proceedings, Gen. Sherman hag ordered Gen. McDowell to give every assistance to the United States Marshals in preveiting ;anted mels from in- vading Canada. 'The United State's steam- er Michigan is on Lake Erie, and Admiral Porter states that her commander has or- ders to give the civil authorities all the as- sistance in his' power to suppress disorder and arrest offenders against the neutrality laws. The enrollment of the Fenian', volunteers was carried on to -night steadily, though not With the same enthusiasm as last night.' Meetings were- held at the Hiberian Hall, and other places. and stirring speeches made, exhortiug all who loved their country to hesten to the front. The Fenian head -quarters are almost en- tirely deserted, all the more prominent men having left the city. '?Cols Barke and Gay- nor have . a: roost filled their regiments, and 200 of the latter's command started for St. Albans to -night - Malone, N. N. Y., has been fixed upon as a central point of concentration, and all the troops will hereafter be sent there. The movement at Pigeon Hill is characterized as a feint to draw off the attention of the Canadian forces from the other points. At the Hudson River Railroad depot, trans- portation has been secured for several thousand men. The tickets have been purchased in- advance, so that no delay mey occur., CHICAGO, ILL., May 26. George Francis Train arrived this morn- ing, and made a speech to several hundred Irishmen, at 1, a. m., in the Fenian, Hall, and gave fifty dollars. Forty Fenians left here this morning, some for the east and girlie a number for Minne- sota. A number of Irish organizations have also -left us, but in what direction is not known. It is reported a tribe of Chippawa Indians have joined the Fenians at Winni- peg. They are under the command of the chief who, a few weeks since, was converted by a Catholic, priest. ST. PAUL, MINN, May 26. The operator at Duluth says he hears "nothing of the Fenians in that city. He be- lieves the stories of Fenians arriving and concentrating there are much exaggerated, if not wholly a fabrication. How Government Hacks are if1ewarde4 Not long since a directory of the City of Toronto was issued by the Telegraph con- cern, and as that paper had been of some service to the Government at Ottavtra, $455 worth of these directories were ordered for the use of the departments, and duly raid for. What possible use ninety-one Toronto directories could be put to in tht depart= ments, it would be hard to imagine. And besides, $220 were l?aid for other directories during the present year. Another instance : The publisher of the montreal Gazette, an other -Government paper, issues a " Year Book," in many respect similar to the Ca- nadian Almanac, the regular retail price of which is 25 cents. It took no , less than. 2,400 of these books to go round the differ- ent departments, at a cost of $600. )-1 oo SIGN fi Ski 0-4111011/ ob,e, CD - -4%. ,` ')I0O1C1Ird r : ~. : =iid 2 cir, ,r,...i p `. 00 Ai v wd � .
