Tin- Fenian Invasion, ■A \ '■ ' From Northern papers we have fuller accounts thau the telegraph brings us of the doings of the Fenians on the Canadian frontier. We have given the latest 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 could be captured are on bo$rd Ud lieu fetter,, Mr | fedotL, arrangements made by the United States Attornej' and Gen. Barry, in organizing picket boats, they were obliged to turn back. It is reported, but the report lacks confirmation, that a force of Fenians have lauded at a point about ten miles above here on * Lake Erie, and some l'ears are expected that Uolliugwoqd is the point threatened. A portion of two British regiments, the Sixteenth and Forty-seventh, with seven companies of volun teers aud two batteries, now occupy the entire shore opposite here, to repel any lresli invasion from this place. r . By order of Gen.Grant. Gen. Barry Jias had his mili tary district extended, and it now embraces the north ern frontier from Lake Erie to Oswego.

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 Enquirer. L.
