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 tag tact. * : [From the Charleston Courier of Thursday.] Terrible Catastrophe. — Seven Children Killed, and Nine Others Wounded.

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: ’■‘'.‘“■i, an “ ancient ally” of England will assure re|' Cu Peu<lenoe of the Irieh nation.

The British loss w about fifty; among whom were a 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.

(Signed) T. W. Sweeny, Major-General commanding the Armies of Ireland. 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. EATER. large number of officers A Montreal dispatch says : . i The house of Mrs, Lewis and a tavers and Ihe Post- office at Fort Erie, are now turned into hospit ils. Dr. S.

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. ” PROCLAMATION BY GENERAL SWEENY TO THE PEOPLE OF CANADA. 3to the People qf British America: Wcoome among you SB the foes of British rule in Ireland.

The complaint is staiod as follows: Whereas complaint has this day been made that did, on of abom the 31al day of May, 18dti, at the city oi Buffalo, within the Northern District of New York, Slid jurisdiction of tbe United States, be gin, |and prepare the means for a military expedi- 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.
