accounts by telegraph.
THE FIKST ENGAGEMENT'—THE CANADIAN VOLUNTEERS
ROOTED—THE FENIANS REINFORCED, ETC.
New York, June 3.—Tlie Herald publishes the fol
lowing relative to the Fenian raid on Canada:
Buffalo, June 2, 7 p. m.—An eye-witness of the. en
gagement near Bidgeway, says: ‘ The Fenians, about
one thousand strong, under O’Neill, bad reached a
small village ten miles from Waterloo Ferry, when
the scouts announced the approach of a large force of
Canadians. The Fenians ut once tore .down the fence
and went into an adjoining field and lorrned in liue of
battle, O’Neill being assisted by Colonels Starr aud
O’Brien in making a disposition of his troops.
The volunteers advanced upon the Fenians, and the
action commenced by the skirmishers on both’ sides
exchanging a brisk lire. Orders were then given for
the Fenian skirmishers to fall bhek. The main bodies
on either side now fired several volleys, when the Fe
nians advanced on the double-uuick with fixed bayo
nets, but as the volunteers were ranged in an orchard
on the other side of a swamp, aud separated from the
Fenians by thick brushwood, General O’Neill deemed
a charge useless, and gave orders to halt aud fall back.
The volunteers, believing this movement a retreat,
advanced from theirvttelter < »n a run. They were met,
however, by the Fewns with-u counter charge, ami
instantly put to rout, tlie Fenians pursuing them for
two miles, when O’Neill ordered a halt. The volun
teers were completely demoralized, and continued
their flight to Port Colborne. The loss on the Fenian
side was six killed and fifteen wounded, aud that of
the volunteers twenty-three killed and wounded in all.
After stopping the pursuit the main body of Fenians
proceeded toward Fort Erie, leaving a guard over the
wounded on both sides.
Of the Canadian volunteers, a Lieutenant-Colonel,
name unknown, was killed at the first fire; also. Lieu
tenant It. S. Uouth, of the Hamilton volunteers; En
sign Malcom McRehan, of Toronto, and two or three
others wounded. The volunteers were one thousand
four hundred strong, under command of Colonel Bu
chanan. Lieutenant Itonth, when dying, askfiftfper-
mission of General O’Neill to retain his swordf s?hicli
was granted. A portion of the volunteers, on reach
ing Fort Erie, took relnge in the steara-tug Thomas
Boll, bat shortly returned to shore, remaining in the
neighborhood of Waterloo Ferry.
About half-past three some thirteen Fenians were
seen crossing the brow of a hill, whan the volunteers
valiantly rushed out to capture them; but just as they
reached the brow of the hill about eight hundred Fe
nians appeared and charged down upon them, when
the volunteers broke and scattered through tin* woods.
About seventy of them were captured. Some of them
again got on board their tug, while others were run
ning along the shore almost crazy m their efforts to
secure shelter. The beach was covered with guns
aud knapsacks thrown away by the Canadiins in their
flight, aud resembled the first Bull Bun battle-field.
^ ANOTHER SK1KMISU.
Toronto, June 3, 2 A. M.—A dispatch from Water
loo says that Colonel Dennis' command, mustering
about eighty men, engaged about one huudred Fe
nians about hall-past 2 o'clock. General O’Neill or
dered the Fenians to charge upon the volunteers with
fixed bayonets, when the volunteers broke and ran iu
every direction, tlirowiug away their hats, belts, car-
tridge-boxesf etc. By 3 o'clock the field was in pos
session of* the Fenians. Colonel Dennis is said to be
wounded. Two Fenians were killed aud the British
had five or six wounded. Reinforcements for
the Fenians have crossed at Frenchman’s creek. The
operator at Port Colborne reports a large body of
Fenians crossing to Canada.
Clifton, C. W., June 2, 8 P. M.—The Fenians are
menaced to-day by two columns moving in opposite
directions; one organized at Port Colborne, 2,000
strong, anfantry and artillery, and auother under Col.
Peacock, of Crimean reputation, now commanding
the Sixteenth British regulars. This latter coamn
marched to Black Creek, but being misled, started
for Port Colborne as hastily as possible. All the in
formation they received on the road was contradic
tory, and the march was so trying to the men that
numbers fell out of the ranks prostrated by the sun.
Colonel Peacock was finally obliged to halt aud go
into camp. Report then came iu that the Fenians
were driving the volunteers, cud Colonel Peacock
deemed it prudent to get iu communication with .the
other cohimn referred to above before proceeding fur
ther. Nothing further was accomplished. The Six
teenth regulars have many Irishmen among them,
who, though professing loyalty, are suspected.
A MISERABLE FAILURE—THE FENIANS RETREAT TO
THE AMERICAN SHORE—MANY OF THEM CAPTURED.
Buffalo, June 3.—The Fenians evacuated Fort
Erie last night, and most of them attempted to reach
this shore, but only a small number succeeded.
About seven huudred were gobbled up by the United
States boats guarding the river, aud arc now prisoners
under the United States steamer Michigan’s guns at
Black Rock. The English forces, under Colonel Pea
cock are now in possession of Fort Erie without s skir
mish. The ultimate disposition of the prisoners is a
matter of uncertainty, but the British minister has
been telegraphed to. Colonel O’Neil and staff are cap
tured. The only Fenians captured b3 r the English up-,
pear to be tbirty-two pickets, who were .left by their
friends in their hurry.
By order of Gen. Barry, communication is forbidden
with the-Cauadiau shore. Those that tried to reinforce
their f riends at Fort Erie were prevented by the United
States picket boats. The escaped Fenians say that,
having no artillery (and they positively assert Jthe^
with Armstrong guns, were closing around them,
with no prospects of reinforcements and no supplies,
they concluded not to be gobbled up' aucTperliaps
hung (as it is anticipated those caught will be), so they
got oft the best they could.
lHE LATEST PARTICULARS—ACTION OF THE UNITED
STAGES AUTHORITIES.
Buffalo, June 3.—This afternoon the Associated
Press agent has just returned from a trip to the
steamer Michigan, auchored about four miles below
the cjty. There is a large flat boat fastened to her
guns, having on board 400 men, as near
computed. The Fenian officer w1 "
the Michigan, under guard.
The captain of the Michigan is anxiously awaiting
instructions as to what he shall do with liis prisoners.
United States District Attorney Dart is also awaiting
instructions from Washington as to their disposition.
It is considered unsafe to bring them ashore, as an
effort might be made by their friends to release them.
There is considerable excitement in this city, but the
general feeling is that the Government has done its
duty, and our people are glad that the Fenians have
fallen into American hands, rather than that they
should have been captured by the British force.
It is variously estimated that from 350 to 1,500 men
tried to leave here last night in tugs and flat boats,
probably to reinforce the Fenians, but owing to the

Tlie Export Tax ops Cotton*
It appears that the House of Representatives has
changed the mode of collecting the tax of five cents
per pound on cotton from that reported by the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. Instead of making the
tax payable by the manufacturer, and levying it on all
the cotton raised, as proposed by the couimittre, the
tax is to be an erpot'l one, and of course attaches only
to cotton shipped to a foreign country.
Let no planter flatter himself that this change will
in any way beuefit him. It was not so intended, and
will have no each effect. It is simply designed as an
other bonus to Northern manufacturers, and will so
operate, to the financial loss of the Government. In
other words, the planter will still pay the tax, but the
manufacturer, not the Government, will receive it, in
the shape of the enhanced profits which the obtaining
of cotton at five cents per pound less than the price
paid by the British manufacturer, will enable him to
demand.
If the capacity and the requirements of the domestic*
manufacturers embraced the whole crop of cotton;
raised in the country, this would not be the effect of
an export duty on a raw material. But such is not
the fact. The highest estimate we have yet seen of
the amount of cotton required for the home mauuluc-
ture is 750,000 bales. Suppose we raise, this year,
1,500,000 bales. The domestic manufacturers will
want half of it, and will take it at precisely the price
which European competition, after paying the tax of
live cents per pound, will make them pay. The coi-
tou of India, China, Egypt, Brazil, Ac., will be with
in the reach of the British manufacturers free from
this enormous duty. Of course they will avail them
selves of the cotton from thoqe countries before taking
a single bale from the United'Stair*. They''inust do
so, or the Yankees will outsell them in all the markets
and supply the world with the fabrics of this country.
Suppose further, (and the supposition is far from!
probable) that the British manufacturers fiud cotton
enough in other countries named to supply all the
wants of their factories—cotton sold cheaper to them
thau the American cotton can be with live cents per
pound added for export duty. In that case, the home
manufacturers would have 1,500,000 bales in tin* mar
ket, from which to supply their demand lor 750,000
bales. Who does not see that the cotton culture in
this country would be utterly ruined by such a state
of things ?
We will not waste time in commenting on the
malignity or the cupidity (perhups it is both com
bined) that prompts so heavy a tax, aiid iu such a,
shape. We arc aware that we “could not do justice to
the subject.”
What remedy have the cotton planters? We cannot
think of any other than that which we have repeatedly
proposed heretofore, viz: to increase the home manu
facture to. the extent of the whole crop raised, if the
fax is retained, this must be done, or the culture of
cotton iu this country .will have to be abandoned.
Aud whore should the lactones be? Perhaps we
ought to bo Christian enough to admonish our people
to “render good foFevil,” to “do good to those who
despitefully use and persecute them.” Bat we have
made up our mind to risk the chances of purgatory
before we’ll do any such thing in this instance. Let
us have the factories here m the South-x-here where
the cotton is raised, and where transportation and
other charges will be saved—here, where wy have
many thousands of maimed soldiers and indigent
widows, aud hundreds of thousands of helpless or
phans, tor whom some employment must be provided.
NVe are more thau ever convinced that the best work
which the next Southern Legislatures can do, will be
to provide lor the immediate buildlhg of cotton facto
ries sufficient for" the manufacture at home of all the
cotton raised. Do this, and the immense amounts
that must otherwise be yearly appropriated for the
support of the poor will be saved. Do this, and an
amount of labor will be directed from the culture to
the nnjnufacture of cotton, sufficient to make the one
balance the other. Do this, and the Northern States
will drop the export dutv ltke a red hot bar of iron, or,
holding on to it, will only burn tbeir own hands. Do
this, aud the cotton interest of this country will
quickly regain its former prosperity and power. Do
it not, and ruin stares ns in the fucc.—UohnnOus
