The Fenian Raid. Interesting Details by Special Correspondents of the 'Toronto Press. The Toronto Telegraph's special Corres- pondent, under date of St. Albans, May 26, says, ---I left St. Albans at about half- past.nine this morning for the scene of yes- ' • •• 6 & terdav's ht. All along the road we met squads of retreating Fenians, partially uni- formed and some armed, but the majority had thrown away their rifles. They were in small parties from two to twenty in number, although we passed about 250 on the road, the rest having retreated to St. Albans during the night and early morning. Many of them offered to sell their rifles for small sums. At Franklin, two miles from the battle ground, several Fenians who had been wounded were in the hotel, among them Gen. J. S. Donelly, second itt com- mand, who is not expected to recover. O'NEIL DENOUNCED. { The Fenians. whom we met, loudly de- nounced Gen. 'O'Neil, and say his arrest by the ITnited States Marshall was a pre -ar- ranged affair.' The entire force in the vi- cinity of St. Albans is completely demora- lizede none except the wounded are within miles oi the frontier. ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT. The following account of the fight is gathered from both Canadian and Fenian. T ksources On.

The Fenians in their retreat threw away their arms and accoutrethents, immense quantities of which are being picked up by the ditiz.ens, from both sides. Their piece of artillery was taken. The volunteers did not arrive until most of the hard 'fight- ing was over, but participated at the close of the engagement.

Murphy and another were very cleverly captured. On Tuesday merning they were met near the lines by some of the independent company, who were recon- noitering and Merphy asked his way to the Fenian headquarters, they offered to guide them and led them into our lines. wo more prisoners were taken this ug by Lieut. -Col. Miller, commandin 2nd battalion, just inside the line. The Independent Company hold round, but are to return home to -night if no further demonstration takeS place. The 52nd battalion is at Freliglisburg, three hundred strong. The position of the Goth battalion is at Stanbaidge. HUNDRED CANADIAN VOLUNTEERS pas4d to some point west from the direct- ion/of Montreal this afternoon. Not a single Canadian was hurt in the figbt. The ground. of the fight was to -day visited bv a large number of people from both sides. During the fight no attempt at military evo- lutions were made, both sides fighting in gurilla st le. THE CANADIAN POSITION. . The Canadians undoubtedly held a very strong position, in the face of which' the Fenians advanced, and without a much stionger force would have boen perfect madness. The Fenians state that they gen- erally had the active sympathy of the Am- erican population living in that section. THE FENIANS SEEK FOR :THEIR DEAD. During the night a squad of Fenians came across and attempted to recover the bodies of those who. fell yesterday, and were fired into by our troops, and three of them killed. They then threw two or three shells across during the night, but injured none of our men. morn - g the the pany of S . . e ground with about 20 men of thsi Stanbridge Volunther Company trader Captain 'Bachus. They took up po sition on the hill side, about 500 yards on the Canadian side of the line, about half way- on the road between Cook's' Corners, Canada, and Franklin Centre, United States. A THE POSITION. The grouud was well chosen, as it com- manded the road, and a number of large rocks on the hill side form natural breast- works The Fenians, the same night, occu- pied a hill rising immediately opposite on the American side, also west of the road. They. received reinforcements on Wednes- day morning, and about half -past twelve h forward movement was -visible in their ranks. ,The command of General O'Neil to form fours and forward on the double -was distinctly audable on the Canadian side. They came on in. column of four a brest, the attacking party being composed of the fol- lowing :—Capt. Cronyn and company tor 75 men ; Capt. Marrs' company, l3urlington, 50 men, and Boston company, numbering about 50 men, in all about 175. Col. Chanaberlain, who commanded the Canadi- ans, ordered them to get into position be- hind the rocks towards the base of the bill, and not to fire until the Fenians passed the line. The Moment they Crossed, - THE CANADIANS OPENED FIRE With a visibly demoralizing eflect, at a dis- tance ef 400 yards, which was replied to. The Fenians say they were not loaded when fired upon, but this is authoritatively de- nied. At the second fire they commenced to retreat, having, by this time, got abeut 50 yards over the border. They took refuge in the houses '''‘and barns in the valley, be- tween two -hill& They left several dead and wounded on the ground. One John deal Rowe who was in the foremost rank was eni shot as he was crossing a small bridge, and cing his body fell into the water. They tried to rally but in. vain, being repulsed before they got to the line: SCENE OF THE ENGAGEMENT. Frelighsburg, May 26,—Before I left the camp at Cooke's Corners, I visited the Am- erican side this morning. I was informed that the Fenians last night retreated in the wildest disorder, and the route is strewn with arms and accoutrements. The ceunti.7 people passing with carts have all the Fe- nian rifles, etc., to display as souvenirs of the raid, and a great -many of thevolunteers 'wore Fenian. accoutrements and belts. Two -more Fenians have been arrested on the lines, near the camp this morning. A crowd had collected from all quartets and a great of discussion was going on, and several ans spoke out rather loudly, denoun- everything British, and one incautious- ly stepped a few feet over on the Canadian side of the imaginary line 45, and was im- mediately nabbed by Col. Miller, who was close by with a few of his men of the 53rd Battalion. The prisoner is confined in this place; al5o another Fenian has been arresl, ed by- bile of the independents in the vici- nity. Both men are avowed Fenians, nam- ed James Hunt and Patrick McInalty, and are cavalry men. The people who lived a- bout Cook's Corner and this place, who fled from their homes on the first news of the firing yesterday, are beginning to return to- day, Rierth .Proposition to the Dominion Government. ---List of Demands. GENR1AL O'NEIL HIDES. r General O'Neil took refuge in the bick house of Alvin Richards, and commenced to reconnoiter through the windows, when Col. Chamberlain, who recognized him through his field glass, directed the men to fire upon the house, and the proprietor com- pelled him to leave the window. He came out into the road, when. United States Mar- shall Foster took him prisoner. The .Ca- nadians having repulsed the attaek, deploy- ed into line and held the position until 3p m., when they were reinforced by a detach- ment of the Montreal Victoria Rifles, a company of the 52nd Battalion, Capt. Kerept's company 60th Battalion, and a Montreal cavalry troop. An irregulF and desultory fire on the Fenians in the -build- ings was kept up. As the latter endeavor- ed to escape several were picked off, At about 4 o'c- lock our forqes moved forward to pick up the dead who had fallen on our side of the lines, and to dislodge the Fenians from Stoddard's tannery. The Fenians opened a heavy fire on our men, but with- out hitting any. THE RETREAT. They drove the Feiaians frona the tannery, and while they were conveying some of the dead for birrial on our side, the latter, who had fled in an easterly direction, fired a vol- ley in return, and killed two, and wounded two of them. The Fenians on the hill had a six pounder rifled 'cannon, from which they diseharged several rounds to draw the fire of our men, and give those in. the valley an opportunity to escape from the building. GENERAL DONNELLY, second in command, who Was in Richard's house, with others, triers' to escape, but was shot in the back, and several others were wounded. The Fenians were not pursued over the lines. Three of the bodies were brought in by our men and buried decent- ly, the others were taken away and interred by the Fenians. One was killed at a dist- ance of 900 yards. , 1.—That the Territory known as Rupert's Land and the Northwest shall not enter the Confederation of the Dominion of Canada, except assa Province to be styled and known as the Province of Assiniboia, and with all the rights and privileges common to the. different Provinces of the Dominion. 2.—That we have two representatives in the Senate and four in the House of Corn= mons of Canada, until such time as an in- crease of population entitles the Province to a greater representation. 3.—That the Province shall not be held liable at any time for any part of the public debt of the Dominion contracted before the date the said Province shall have entered the Domini'', unless the said Privince shall have &St received from the Dominion the full amount for which the said Province is to be held liable. 4.—That the sum of $89,000 be paid an- nually by the Dominion Government to the Local Legislature of the Province.

FEMALE SOCIETY. ----What is it that makes those men who associate habitually with women superior to others? What makes that woman who is accustomed and at ease in the society of men superior to her sex in general? Solely because they are in the habit of free, graceful, contii4ued conversa- tions with the other sex. Women in this. way loose their frivolity, their faculties weaken; their delicacies and peculiarities un-. fold all their beauty and calAil ation in the spirit of intellectual rivalry. And the met lose their pedantic, rude, declamatory or sullen manner. The coin of the understand- ing and the heart is changed. continually. The asperi:ies are rubbed off, their better niaterials is:fished and brightened, and their richness, 11l; e fine gold, is wrought into finer workmanship by the fingers of women than it ever could. be in those of men. The iron and steel of their character are hidden, like the character and arnior of a giant, by studs and knots of good and precious stones when they are not wanted in actual warfare. SAGACITY 01.0 SHFEP. —On Friday night the 26th t t., two dogs committed great havoc among flock of sheep belonging to Mr. J. McKe rot, of the Town Line of Oro and Medon . They killed the whole flock of ts e v except one that escaped. The sheep were kbpt in a bush field at some dis- tance from tile house. One of the sheep being pursued by the dogs, leaped over an unusually high fence and made for the dwelling house the dogs itt fierce chase. On reaching the ioor, the sheep bunted against it, and it awoke and attracted the attention of the inmates. On the door being opened, it rushed into the hall, and sheltered itself behind the person who came forward. It would not be very easy to indentify the clogs were it not for this occurrence. The conduct of this sheep, was the more remar- kable, that the sheep were not accustomed to be encouraged near the dwelling at all, in fact they never came near it. A boy in church thought the choir sung; " So to the Jews the Carman stood, and 'jawed' and rolled between," .in a familar hymn. NOTICE..
