Washington Correspondence.
I From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, June 4, 1866.
lie political skies are thought to be getting darker,
lie conservative vote in the Senate, on the amend*
enl to the Constitution, restricting the Sight to hold
.it the South was only ten. Some of the most
jUS friends of the President express sad dis-
, nn nt a-» to the prospect. They say that it
tl ll In little less than a miracle to carry a conserva
qtc majority oi
members to the Houle in the next
Vuliaudingham, in a recent speech in
unJons tllu llo P e of caiTying that $tate in the
tu.n~ Hut suppose theHouse carried against
iuibis, this very conservative party are
esenfei
lodged m tlie a<1 mission only of such representatives
* can take the test oath. Then as to
i ill*
, n there were a revolution of public aenti-
D i smiHi, h would take years before the majority
if the Senate
could be changed by elections into cou-
\Lid until both houses are conservative
iTl ia no chance of the success of the President’s
n , t s.tine say the members elect from the South
jultl take their seats by force, and the President
ouiJ sustain them. But, is the South in any con-
uuu to go into a new revolution ? If there is to be
iU < v civil war, let the North carry on the business
iiyiic I'uder this view of the situation the question
L . d ,k, .1 whether the South can orignate a new line of
polic; that will better her condition ? Home think
tne s »utli will have to make terms with the best
ggacius ot the party in power. As matters now stand
ti, president is utterly powerless to strengthen the
political position o f the South, lie can pardon indi
viduals, tie cannot restore States.
A report of very great importance will be made in a
fev days, by one of the House Committee, in regard
tj the tenure of Federal oliices. The committee will
report u plan by which the tenure of office will be
practically lor good behavior. This is certainly one of
the greatest reforms that can possibly be made in the
practical working of our Government. Thereby the
I practio ot putting up all the offices of the Government
to be contended for as spoils to the victors will be dona
uuy with. This is the cancer of our political system,
and. n it can be extirpated, the greatest possible bles
sing will be conferred upon the country. And further,
tko continuance of persons in office will cause them to
iw thoroughly versed in the duties ol their offices, and
a higher order of men will seek offices, in which they
will feel they have a permanent support. Both the
Republican and Democratic members of the commit
tee agree in the report. It ia to be seen whether the
Republican party will have the virtue to divcil* them
selves of the power of so much patronage.
The President's organ, the Intelligencer, is overhaul-
mg Mr. Attorney General Speed’s record, and attack
ing him in his weakest point, by proving that he
signed an address to the people of Kentucky in the
beginning of the late war, in which the position was
nken that if coercion was used against the Southern
States Kentucky would take part with the South. This
u a very awkward document to bring to light, when
Speed is assuming to be of the “straitest sect” of the
oral men, and takes his stand alon gside of the most
radical of the radicals.
1 think alter the adjournment of Congress Speed
rJl have to walk the plank.
Mr Seward has issued a circular, setting forth that
one oil lie Governors of a £ State in the United States
issued passports, which is considered as a matter
ivsting exclusively with the Government of the United
States. It is well understood that it is quite possible
tor a Governor of a State to be a fool; but such a fool
is this is almost exceeding belief.
It is amusing to see how the Congress comes down
upon state Rights in the matter of railroads. Mary
and and Pennsylvania and New Jersey have under
taken a kind of close co-operation in their railroad
[(•ms, and the Congress are passing bills author!
I ag new railroad connections, in the most perfect
attempt of any State pretensions. Well, this is all
piu logical, and the war haviujj established national-
I ja, its principles may just as well be carried out.
An effort will be made this week at Richmond, by
| Ur Davis' counsel, to obtain his release dh bail. The
nermncut is anxious for the matter to take this
ni but it will depend, of course, on the discretion
I athe Judge. It is certainly the best possible soln-
toa to the difficulty. Let Mr. Davis be bailed, and
•ft the case die out. In the meantime he could take a
* jage to Europe.
The money market is easier than it was, but there
* i certain degree of uneasiness as to the question of
peace oi war in Europe. The drain of gold is an alarm

WITHDRAWAL OF A PORTION OF THE INVADERS TO THE
AMERICAN SHORE—ANOTHER PORTION GOBBLED BY
THE CANADIANS—THE BULK IN CUSTODY OF THE
UNITED STATES AUTHORITIES.
[Special Despatch to the World.]
Buffalo, June 3.—The Fenian force which returned
to Fort Erie last evening, after the defeat of the Cana
dians at Ridgeway, surprised and overcame a small
British force which occupied Waterloo, capturing
thirty prisoners, who were afterwards paroled.
Finding himself then threatened by Canadian troops
advancing from Chippewa below, in addition to those
left at Ridgeway, O’Neill sent word to Buffalo that he
must have reinforcements, or boats to retreat. The
.Fenian leader in this city succeeded in en}ialiffjs.three
hundred and fifty men, who, with ammuuliloiiand
arms, were embarked in two canal boats in the Erie
Basin. The tug towing these started lor the other side
at midnight. Soon atter leaving the shore the trans
ports were hailed by a small boat with an order from
one of Sweeny !s officers to return and disembark im
mediately.' The order was obeyed.' The.trmusports,
empty, then lett for the Canadian shore, where Colonel
O’Neill and GOO men were quietly taken aboard. The
tug then steamed for Buffalo. When midway of the
channel, outside of British waters, the transport was
hailed by another tug, the Harrison, and ordered by
Acting Master, G. W. Morris, of the steamer Michigau,
to haul alongside or be sunk. Colonel O'Neill, com
plying, surrendered his force with their arms in their
handB to the United States authority. The Michigau,
signalling, took the canal boats in tow, and dropped
with them to Lower Black Rock, where the prisoners
were all placed on one scow, which now lies moored
to the Michigan, guarded by the Michigan and three
tugs each with cannon trained upon the hulk. Two
hundred Fenians who had lied to embark in the trans
ports, escaped in skiffs; some wounded and stragglers
were captured by the Canadian troops, which number
ing three thousand, consisting of the Forty-seventh
Regulars, one volunteer regiment, one regiment of
rifles and two batteries, occcupied the opposite shore
this forenoon. The following is a list of officers cap
tured by the Michigan.
Colonels John O’Neill, Owen S. Farr, John Hoy;
Lieutenant-Colonels Grace and John Spaulding; Mar
jor Moore ; Captains Shields, Connelly, P. H. Mundy,
Tom O'Leary, John A. Neary, Fogarty, Smith, John
Haggerty; Lieutenants Roche, John Maguire, Pat
Flynn,. J. J. Tyrrell.
Gen. Meade, who reached Buffalo at 1 p. m. to-day,
immediately had a consultation with Gen. Barry, and
delivered to the latter instructions to employ all the
means in his power to preserve the neutrality and
prevent the crossing of Fenians into Canada.
Gen. Barry visited the Michigan this afternoon,
when a meeting took place with Col. Lowry, of the
Forty-seventh regiment of British regulars, command
ing her Majesty’s forces opposite, and the British of
ficers who crossed the river for the purpose. General
Barry assured Col. Lowry that he had received in
structions from the United States t Government to pre
serve the neutrality laws, and should do so to the lest
of his ability. Gen. Barry also had a long private
conference with the prisoner O’Neill.
In response to a telegram iibm Washington, asking
instructions relative to the prisoners, Gen. Barry has
just received'a-despatch from Secretary Seward direct
ing him to hold all officers and men taken prisoners in
charge of the United States Marshal, the military and
naval authorities acting as guard.
O’Neill and officers were kept on the Michigan dar
ing the day, but moved to-night to the scow witb the
men. The general public hope they will escape before
morning, in order, to avoid qomplication.
Two tugs hired by Barry, in addition to the revenue-
cutters, are now patrolling the river.
Restrictions are removed from Black Rock Ferry.
The ferry boat is now running, carefully watched by
the Canadian troops, whose camp fires are bright on
the other shore. The Fenian authorities here are not
disheartened by the disastrous result of this first at
tempt, which they claim is simply co-operative and
precipitated by Sweeny’s staff officers in charge.
They justly claim defeat of the Canadians in battle,
and say that there will be fifteen thousand Fenians in
Canada from other points within forty-eight hours.
O'Neill now claims that he crossed Niagara with only
900 men.
The Courier gives the following list of killed and
wounded in the engagements, which is as correct as
can now be obtained:

inspired them. Then, looking about us for the enemy,
we find him here—here In yonr midst—where he is
most vulnerable and cowvenient to our strength; and
have sworn to stretotoforth the armed hand of Ireland
and grapple with him. The battle has comim-nceJ,
and we pledge ourselves to all the sacred memories of
struggling liberty to tollotr It up at anv cost io either
of two alternatives—the Absolute political nalepeu-
dence of Ireland, or the demolition of our armlet,.
We have no issue with the people of these provin
ces, and wish to have none but the most friendly re
lations. Our weapons are for the oppressors of Ire
land. Our blows shall be directed only against the.
power of England; her privileges alone shall we in
vade, not yours. We do licit propose to divest you of
a solitary right you now enjoy; We will assail and as
perse only the rights.that are claimed and enjoyed by
the government of Great Britain—the right to make,
her American posseBSibns the field,'-find base of Der
ations in a war against an enemy. We come to mstal
ourselves in her possessions, and turn them against
her in a war for Irish freedom. We are here, neither
as murderers, nor robbers, A* plunder or spoliation.
We are here as the Irish army of liberation; the friends
of liberty against despotism, < f democracy against aris
tocracy, of the people against their oppressors, of the
ballot against the privileges of class, of progress and de
velopment against right and wrong; to conduct this
contest according to the laws known to honorable war
fare, in a manner worthy of the high object we aim for
and the sublime sentiments that actuated us. In a word,
ourwaris with the aimed power ul England, and not
with those provinces. Against England upon land m d
-ea,until Ireland ia tree! And all who raise an arm 10
defend her, to frustrate or defeat us, belong to ihc
common enemy, and as such will be dealt with. As
we know how to recognize the services of our friends,
so also do we know how to punish the depredations ■ f
our foes. Our work for Ireland accomplished, we
leave to your own tree ballots to determine your na
tural and political standing and character, and shall
rejoice to see, and assist to make, these limitless colo
nies spring from the foot of a foreign throne as free
and independent, a proud as New. l'ork, Massachu
setts or Illinois. To that yearning for liberty and as
piration after uatnral independence which swells the
breast of every true son ol every laud, to your own
manliness we leave those questions for settlement
confident that the dwaried development of your vast
resources and natural wealth, made the chilling in-
liuences of English supremacy in wretched contrast
with the national dignity and stupendous material
prosperity of-your neighboring people ol the United
•States,under tbestimulusof self-government and dem
ocratic institutions, constitutes a stronger argument
in favor of co-operatiun with us and the revolution in
your political condition which this comparison sug
gests, than any discussion of the questions .involved
which wc could offer here.
To Irishmen throughout these Provinces we appeal,
in the name of seven ceutnries of British iniquity and
Irish misery and suffering;. jn the name of our mur
dered sires, our desolate howys, our desecrated altars,
our milliouB of famine gravoT, onr insulted name and
race—to stretch forth the hand of brotherhood in the
holy cause olffitherland, and,smite The tyrant; where
we can in his work of murdering our nation and etter-
minating our people. We conjwre you, our conriry-
men, who from misfortunes inflicted by the very
tyranny yon are serving, or (rum any other cause,
have been forced to enter tba rankaqf the enemy, not
to be tbe willing instruments of your country’s death
or degradation. If Ireland still speaks to you in the
truest impulses of your hearts, irishmen, obey her
voice! It you would not be miscreants, recreant to
the,first principles of your nature, engraven upon the
very corner-stone of your being, riQse not the hand
of the matricide to strike down the banner iff Erin 1 No
uniform, and surely not the blopd-dyod coat' of Eug-
land cau emancipate yon froini fhg natural-law that
binds your allegiance to Ireland, to liberty, to right,
to justice. To the friends of Ireldtd, of freedom, iff:
humanity, of the people, we offer file olive branch of
peace and the honest grasp of friendship. Take it,
irishmen, Frenchmen, Americana—take it ail and
trust it. To all who marched to the call of the eueipy,
and rally under his standard to aid or abet his cause,
we give the sword in as firm and earnest a gripe as
ever did its work upon a foemau. We wish to meet
with friends; we are prepared to meet with enemies.
We shall i ndeavor to merit the confidence of the for
mer, and the latter can expect from us but the leniency*
of a determined though generous foe, and the re
straints and relations imposed by civilized warfare.

BUM08ED RISING Of THE FRENCH CANADIANS.
The Fenians marching or exploring in tlie interior
and near Fort Erie, report that the sympathies ot
large numbers of the natives are with the movement,
and that if the march is uninterrupted the "army”
will be joined by reinforcements from every farm
house, particularly from among the “Kanncs, ” or
Canadiam of French descent, who have no particular
love for “Mother England.' ’ Large quantities of arms
have been forwarded to various points on the frontier,
in anticipation of urrniug this class of recruits.

A Montreal dispatch says : . i
The house of Mrs, Lewis and a tavers and Ihe Post-

THE BATTLROF fiJDG* WAY—HOW THE FENIANS FOUGHT.
Another English account says:
The principal engagement took place at Ridgeway,
a station on tbe Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway- and
began about 8 a. m. The Fenians abandoned the for
tification thrown up at Fort Erie, a point of no qopse-
S e whatever, and took to the bitob at this place,
they were rather indiscreetly attacked loathe
Queen’s Own,” of Toronto, and the Uth Battalion,
strengthened by one or two other corps, all raw find
untried. After about an hour’s fighting the volunteers,
as they admit themselves were forced to retreat, for
want of ammunition, after suffering * Ion of about
fifty killed and wounded. The Fenians did not at
tempt to follow up this success, doubtless from the
fact that the regulars, under Colonel Peacock, were
but a few miles to tbeir right and might succeed in
getting to tbeir rear. Tbe whole of the fighting was
done by the volunteers, and much dissatisfaction was
expressed by them in regard to the regulars. Colone
Peacock’s command were bivouacked within eight
miles of the battle field, from 8 o'clock the previous
night until after the termination of tbe engagement,
and ft fg difficult to aecovfnt for his inactivity. He
was surely not properly informed of what was going
on. Much praise to due and is given to the volunteers
for their promptness.
The World’s correspondent says:
The Fentons are reported to have fought like devils
—throwing off coats, vesta, and even shins, andritte-
rally “ panting” for glory. Many of these men were
old soldiers ot the late war, and still wore caps and
belts bearing the letters U. 8. it was tteir trade;
while »We Canadian volunteers never smelt powder
other than that fired on a Queen’s birthday. The Fe
nian victory was easy and decisive.
But there were louses—Hix Fenians killed, and fifteen
wounded, while the volunteers left twenty-three killed
and wounded on the field, and were In a fair or fool
way of leaving more, if they hadn’t left the field itself
“ entirely. ”

Buffalo, June 5.—At ap early hour this morning
warrants were issued by the United States Commis
sioners in this city, commanding the United Stales
Marshal to apprehend the Fenian oflicers who are now
on board the steamer Michigan, aud bring them bi -
fore the Commissioners for examination, when it wiU
be decided whether they slial) be held for trial before
Judge Hall. The complaint is staiod as follows:
Whereas complaint has this day been made that

non to bo earned on irom thence against tbe territory
and dominions of the Province of Upper Canada, her
government and people, with which tlie United States
are at peace, contrary to the provisions of the act of
Congress concerning noqtralify, passed in 1H18.
It is said that the officers will make no pretense in
confessing a breach of the neutrality laws. The writ
of habems corpus was served last eveuing and re
turnable at nine this morning, but the hearing was
postponed till to-morrow morning to give commander
Bryaon, of thekjicbigam timib to consult with Wash
ington. The prisoners are really ul custudy of the
civil, though guarded by tbe military authorities.
On the other aide four more Fenian prisoners were
brought iu aud placed iu the Niagara Ferry House;
many of them met with a quicker late, as the volun
teers shot them dead when found. It is reported
that there were twenty or thirty shot in the woods
about Fort Erie and Ridgeway. Tbe Canadians have
about one hundred prisoners. Sixty are reported to
be lodged in Brantfort jail, and a few at Port Colborne.
Col. Lynch, of Chicago, who assumed the command
of the Fenians at Bnffalo Friday night, left the city
Sunday night, and is reported to have taken with him
a number of the Fenians who were waiting to rein,
force Col. O'Neill. Col. Lynch declared that had the
situation been known iu Chicago, any number ot
troops could have been obtained for the purpose of
joining the Fenians at Fort Erie. The expedition
comprising some three hundred men under the com
mand pf OaittaihiQo&abuei is reported to haveiel t tbe
city last night. Their destination is unknown, but
their departure was known to the United States au
thorities. Gen. Barry last night received a dispatch
from Gen. Meade, stating that no landing had been ef-
fected at any point in liis vicinity.
Two batteries of the United States artillery from
Fort Schuyler, arrived”here this morning, and other
troops came last night. Reports that arms had been
seized atp. o’liay’s store, who is the bead Centre
here, is we believe incurred, as the only arms taken
from his shop were seized in the way of business by
the Fenians. We can get no confirmation of the street
rumor that the U uited States Consul at Fort Erie was
insulted by a.Britiah officer or any other man.
Watertown, N: Y., Jane 5.—'The Fenian train was
come up with at Ricbville, the first station south of
DeKalb Junction, by a company of United Slates
troops, who took the arms and uunnuuilfon in charge.
The Fenians were unloading the arms when the
troops srrired intending to run them across tbe coon-
try, having received information of troops awgitiqg
them at DeKalb. No resistance was made.
This moriiing’B train going North had on board a
company of Feniaua and a detachment' of United
Stales regular A
New Yorr, June 6.—Dispatches from St. Albans
yesterday say that the council of war of the Fenian
officers closed this forenoon after much discussion.
Though the othcerasay they arc about to more, a
number of them think it inexpedient with the pres
ent short allowance of ammunition and Mpplies, but
are ready to obey orders. Geu. Spear expected to
find seventeen regiments with plenty of stores here,
aud five regiments at Malone. There is’not a full
regiment here now. He found no miliary Orgapizae
ticus, nor any preparations fob any.
The officers say that *16,000 was raised in Boston,
and only about $a,000 expended for transportation.
They ask where is the remainder. They blame the
New York and Boston companies for withholding the'
assistance they need at once, still they are ready to go
into action.
