tried, bat it will not be possible to do so at
*^ni :ur a variety of reasons, some of which I will
r.i to give. In the tirst place, Mr. Davis, although

Las been, in the castody ol tliis court, but is
j l.r the United States government as a State

tu-iits at the close of the session, to come

laportance; nor could he be expected to do so.
inird place, if Mr. Davis is iu the delicate
i.t alth suggested by Mr. Reed, it would be
loss than cruel, at this hot and unhealthy sea-
i-xpose him to the unavoidable fatigue of a
ranted trial, which appears to be an inevitable re-
tr iu the array ol counsel, present and prospec-
rugaged for liis defence. Neither this court nor
l its officers have an y present control over the

*to»ible for the District Attorney to say when he
be tried; but I assure the gentlemen who repre-
Mr. Davis here that the moment he comes into
ustodj of tins court they shall have full and
apt notice when it is intended to try him. So far
.-District Attorney and his associates arc cou-

MOVESIKIIT TOWARDS CANADA.
St. Albans, June 6, 1866.—General Sweeny lisa
ordered sn ndrancti- Gen. Mshan commands th.
movement. Hem. Spear brings up the support .And Col.
Httrpliy goes to the front., *
There ie a strung feeling of sympathy between the
United States regular troops and the Fenians, and It
cannot he disguised.
General Sweeny has issued an official order,
Secretary of War of L B. B., promoting Colonel
John O’NeiU to be brigadier general and breveting
Other officers. »
British accounts state thak there are five thousand
Fenians between Newport-and Malone. They will
probably move forward.
The grand movement contemplated here baa proba
bly commenced in earnest. On the road between here
and East Highgate, as well as to Franklin, there were
Fenians and supply wagons passing up this afternoon,
and the Fenians wiil soon be supplied with arms and
ammunition, and will make some effective show in
Canada. This evening one hundred and fifty Fenians
arrived from the South, and are now in town. They
will probably be marched oil' early to-morrow morn
ing—if not during the tfight.
Five cases of arms and ammunition, principally
; composed of the latter, were seized by the United
SodeB authorities at Essex Junction, twenty miles
south of this place, this evening, and taken from the
train from Boston.
There will be no stay in General S weeny’s onward
movements.
The Fenians at East Highgate, eight miles north
from this point, broke camp this noon, and marched
off on the road in the direction of Franklin, wiiqdi is
situated about two miles and a half from the Canadian
border. The advance was headed by Col. Michael
Scanl&n and Colonel Conley, closely followed by Col.
O’Connor and his regiment.
Gen. Mahan and Chief Engineer Tricilian, and Quar
termaster General Van Brunt, of Sweeny’s staff, left
here shortly before twelve o’clock, and arrived at
East Highgate about two o’clock. Here they found
that one compauy had staid behind, and had voted to
return to St. Albans. Gen. Mahan immediately had
them formed in line, and made a short address, calling
on them to turn and march to the border now that
they were so near the line. Some few may have be
come disheartened, but the mass are ready for an on
ward movement.
MONTREAL THE OBJECTIVE POINT—AN ATTACK MOMEN
TARILY EXPECTED.
Franklin, June 6,1866.—The Fenians are moving
in force. Some troops have gone beyond this place.
The objective point is Montreal.
The Fenians, about two thousand strong, wili make
a reconnoissance to-night in Canada, pick out a place
for camping on the other side of the line, intrench and
have the men come up. They are to gather supplies
and forage upon the enemy, after which they will
move. An attack will undoubtedly bo made about
daybreak.
THE POINT OF ATTACK.
St. Armand’s Canada, June 6, 1866.—This place is
on the line of the Mississquoi region, and the Fenian
troops are lying directly in front, being stationed at
Fairfield, St. Albans, Highgate and Swanton.
It seems to be well understood hero that a movement
will be made upon this section, as the country aronnd
affords such templing inducements for an army short
of horses, forage and provisions.
The militarj* authorities here received an inkling of
the intentions of the Fenians, aud to insure them
selves against surprise quietly felt back on St. Johns.
The whole country is therefore open, aud free froifi
military opposition. We hear that General Sweiiey
is maneuvering along the border in this direction, and
we are every moment expecting to see a body of Fe
nian footmen crossing the liu \ and wheu once aoross
many of them will no doubt soon be Transformed iuto
cavalry.
Captain Carter, of the Sixteenth regiment of British
regulars, has charge ol the troops at St. Johns. Ht
has about five hundred men, and a battery of Arm
strong guns under Captain Balfour.
The Americans have all left for the States, and the
Canadians are considerably exercised over the antici
pated attack. They blame the military for leaving
them to the mercy of the Fenians aud are severe on
the authorities for not providing a stronger force for
their protection.
THE FEITIANB REPORTED CROSSING AT EDWARDSBUBG^
Kingston, June 6, 1866.—The special dispatch from
Prescott to Ottawa states that two thousand seven hun
dred Fenians are about to cross over to Edwardsburg.
SYMPATHY FOR THE FENIANS ALONG THE LINE.
Camp aT East Highgate, Vt., Near the Line.—
June 6, 1866.—The Fenians are well provided for by
the inhabitants. Their arms were received in boxes
aud opened at Highgate bridge. They are all orderly^
and are anxious to be lefl over the border, which is
but a mile or two distant. In the towns of Frank
lin, Sheldon, and in filet ull along th6 line, the sympa
thy for the Fenians is universal. Donations not only
of money, but of beeves, sheep, &c., are freely ten
dered by the farmers.
The St. Albans raiders, and the course of the British
Governmenfwith regard to them, are not forgotten.
A large number of American families in Canada have
come over to this side.

A douse mass of human' beings packed in a small

soldiers in Libby were protected from the snu and
rain, while on board the canal scow they have had uo
shelterfrom the hun—made more intensely Ik t by the
reflection from the water—nor from the drenching
rain of Monday and Tuesday. So far Libby is notori
ous on the score of humanity over the United Slates
authorities, and the peuftif* Andcrsonville is a nearer
approach to the condition of the men held as prisoners
under theutarry banq^r freedom. The hold of the
scow is a mass of fiUl), qpmposed of long accumulated
dirt and vegetable matter* saturated with water and
emitting a most offensive odor. In this the men have
had to he, for on deck (if a narrow passage aronnd the
boat can be called a deck) there is riot sufficient spa e
for fifty meu to stretch their bodies, evcu.il tUdy weic
packed as close as spoons. Tiiey are all extremely
dirty, having no change of clothing or m« ans oYdleau-
iug t heniselves. Their food consists of pork and hard
tack. It is therefore, my opinion that it the prisoner*
now on board the scow, to the number of five hundn d
or more, be not immediately removed diseases will Ue
engendered of the most deadly character. Diarrhoea
is most prevalent. Typhoid fever and cholera must
result in a few days if the Government of the United
States do not take action in the matter. It is
the duty of the authorities of Buffalo to protect
themselves and have the mass of suffering huniau be
ings liberated before pestilence aud disease spread
throughout the city.

INDIGNATION OF THE CANADIANS.
Toronto, June 6—9 P. M.—The news of the release
of the Fenian prisoners caused iiumeis - indignation
here. It was supposed that they would be held until
dispatches should arrive from England, and it is said
the English Government well tax the United States
author!lies stringently for their conduct in the mat
ter.
Cornwall seems to be the point of greatest interest.
Two gunboats have arrived there, and are patrol*iug
the river.
Montreal, June 6, 1866.—The greatest indignation
is expressed here and elsewhere on learning the report
to-day that the prisoners held on board the Michigan
had been released on parole.
The Provincial Parliament meets on Friday, for the
first time, at Ottawa, and, in face of a formidable ill
vasion, its first action will be to suspend the habeas
corpus.
The cry of every Canadian now is to instantly hang
every prisoner held or hereafter captured.
General Sweeny is at St. Albans to-day, aud within
the last four days from three to four thousand of his
adherents have arrived in that viciuily, and an attack
is momentarily looked for.
Last night from lour to five hundred well armed
Fenians stopped the train a short distance before
reaching St. Albuns.
Heavy encampments of Fenians are scattered east
and west of the head of Lake Champlain, bordering on
the provincial line.
A large number of strangers, whose movements
have been noticed for several days in this city, are
leaving by every train, in view of the probable suspen
sion ot the habeas coipus.
ANOTHER BATTLE—THE QUEEN'S OWN RIFLES, of TO
RONTO, AND THE TENTH URIITSH REGULARS MISTAKE
EACH OTHER FOR FENIANS AND HAVE A FIGHT.
Buffalo, June 6,2:20 p. m.—A Fenian officer, while
examining the camp ground at Fort Erie, was arrested
yesterday at five p. in. Through the kindness ot a
British Colonel, from St. Cetheriues, he was released
this morning. He reports that at one o’clock this
morning the entire force stationed at Fort Erie was
called out on hearing the picket stationed on the gar
rison road near the w oods firing at what he supposed
to be a body of Fenians. The Queen’s Own was the
first regiment on the grouud, when Muj. Gilmore or
dered bayonets fixed to receive the enemy’. The Tenth
Royals were the next, and through some misunder
standing a cross-fire was the order of the night between
the Tenth Royals aud the Queen’s Own. The officer
could not learn how many were wounded on either
side.
The field officers of the Tenth Royals are now under
arrest until the affair can be inquired into.
HET HABEAS CORPUS WRIT—MEN AND OFFICERS DI8‘
CHARGED.
Buffalo, June 6. 2 p. m.—The Fenian officers held
as prisoners on board the United States steamer Michi
gan were brought besore Judge Clinton this morning
at ten o’clock.
The court was densely crowded with people eager to
catch a sight of the men who led the vanguard of the'
Irish army in Canada.
The prisoners were guarded by Company A, Fourtif
regular infantry.
The writ ol habeas corpus was dismissed after the
reading of an order from the Attorney-General, re
leasing the officers on bail in the sum of five hundred
dollars each. The men are discharged on their own
recognizances to appear wheu warned by the United
States.
Sixty of the privates were released last night on
those conditions; the balauee of them are to be re
leased during the day.
The Fenians in the city at presents umber over two
thousand five hundred. They are poorly supplied
with arms, but are organizing and aw’aiting the oniers
of Gen. Sweeny. The leaders feel confident of being
able to procure sufficient ammunition when they need
it.

He goes to the scene of operations on the border with
instructions to hand over the money if the leaders are
united and are poshing on the invasion.
Yesterday the excitement in the city was at its high*
ust point. Colonel Kerrigan enlisted fully two thou’
sand meu, and enrolling went on iu the city nearly a 1
every point. About fourteen hundred meu left th e
city. A Mr. Powers handed.in a box containing on e
thousand two hundred dollars in gold, and is leaving
himself to-day. He stated it was the price of a hard
life of toil, and thanked God ho had it to give for the
cause. Nor was it anything abated when it was under
stood that a warrant for the apprehension of W. R.
Roberls was iu the hands of the Aiarslial.
The circular of Attorney General Speed, directing
the apprehension of all prominent and leading Fe
nians, has caused much excitement in Fenian circles.
In the course of yesterday an affidavit was sworn be
fore Commissioner Betts, to the effect that Colonel
Roberts, of the Fenian Brotherhood, was engaged in
violating the neutrality laws of the United States.
The affidavit formed the ground for issuing of a war
rant for the apprehension of Colonel Roberts, This
warrant was issued from the office of tho District At
torney.
The section of the neutrality law, 20th April, 1818,
which Colonel Roberts is charged with having violated,
is as follows:
If any person shall, within tlie territory or jurisdic
tion of the United States, begin or set on foot, i>rovide
or prepare the means for any military expedition or
enterprise, to be carried on from thence against the
territory or dominions of any foreign priuce or State,
or of auy colony, district or people with whom the
United Stats are at peace, eaery person so offending
shail be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and
shall be fined not exceeding three thousand dollars
and imprisoned not more than three years.
The warrant was immediately placed iu the hands
of deputy marshals, who proceeded to arrest Colonel
Roberts, but up to six o’clock last evening he had not
been taken into custody. The following address was
issued by W. R Roberts, President of the Fenian
Brotherhood, yesterday:
Headquarters Fenian Brotherhood,
New York, June 6, 1866.
To the Fenian Brotherhood and my Countrymen:
Brothers and Friends—Iu the hours of doubt and
uncertainty I appealed to you to be brave of heart and
fit m of purpose when cowards quailed and doubters
sneered. You preserved and hoped on when imbe
cility and dishonesty placed the cup of shame and bit
terness to your lips, and you were compelled to drain
it to the dregs. You still worked and triumphed over
covert and open foes, as well as difficulties that would
have made men succumb in a less holy cause than ours.
Itis the cause of oppressed Ireland, ot humanity, jus
tice, liberty—aye. ot DieXiity itself—and it cannot per
ish unless we are false to all’the nobler attributes which
exalt the man above the brute, aud the possession of
humanity, which elevates him to the highest dignity
of creation. No! my countrymen. It cannot perish;
it cannot fall; it will succeed and triumph—yes, even
in our own time—by our own efforts, and at the ex
pense of our fortunes and our blood, if necessary. The
concentrated wrongs of centuries are in our hearts
and give strength to the passions for instant freedom
which neither time nor obstacles can quench. The
calumny and enmity of cowards, though born beneath
the banner of republican freedom, become the lyiffg
tools of English despotism, cannot retard us in our
onward march to smite the detestable foe of liberty.
England fought Jhis republic with cannon, ships, guns
and bullets. She destroyed our mercantile marine.
She maligned our motives. She falsified our record.
She rent the Union and drenched our laud iu blood.
She libelled America aud Americans in her House of
Lords, aud scoffed at them in her Parliament, and, to
c ip the climax of her infamy, nurtured a conspiracy
beneath her flag for the assassination of the elected
head of our republic. And when the martyred pa
triot’s corpse was borne through a land draped iu
morning, the lamentations of a great nation were
blended with indignation and revenge.
How base then is the trj< k lug spirit that can for g« t
these injuries, these crimes, auu place tlie last great
hopes of a race beneath tbe feet of a tyrant who wiil
feel less greatful for the service than exultant at his
power to inspire fear where he knows there can
be no love. And yet I am as sure as that I live, leav
ing out a few bigots aud mercenary tricksters, the
great body of Americau bom citizens despise Eng
land and her power, and appeal, as some great Ameri
can statesman to have higher laws th in those which,
according to England’s'own interpretation, are obsolete
and unjust. Aud she certainly cannot claim a differ
ent one in her favor from those which she so success
fully practised for the beneflt of herself and the in
jury of America. But, uo matter, fellow-countryman,
what may happen, how many obstacles we jnay have
to encounter, how many of us may fall.or jArish, our
cause shall triumph as sure as a just God lives
and Irishmen and their descendants remain true to
the genius aud valor for which our race have ever
been conspicuous. Yours, fraternally,.
