Motkkal, March 84 P. M. Our usually
dull city is all at once wulo awake, snd the
centres ot news, around Place d'Armes and
Great St. James street, are in a great bustle.
The principal hotels are as lively as any of
your Broadway eaiavanaeriep, and for once
the sleepy old capital of Cunmla is tolerably
well arou?ed.
This Is owing in some decree to the action of
the Home Government in suspending the writ
ol habeas corvut In Ireland, but more directly to
the stories cere told of the extraordinary ac
tivity of the Fenians in New York and other
large cities ot the United States. It is Judged by
some ot tb best informed that the Fenians must
make a demonstration on or belore St. Patrick's
Day npon these provinces, or else the lever will
cool off, the sale ot bonds will cease, and the
entire movement come to a very contemptible
failure.
It appears that our Government, whatever
thev may believe, are willing to admit the I art,
and have accordingly taken steps to resist the
possible demonstration. It is now known, by
despatches irotn Ottawa yesterday, immediately
upon the arrival of Hon. Mr. McGee from Mon
treal, a Cabinet Council was held. At the im
portant Bitting were present Messrs. John A.
Macdonald, Gait, Campbell, McGeo, Chapias,
Blackburn, end Ferguson Clair.
In view ol present circumstances and the vast
amount of property at stake, and the more im-
Itortaut consideration, the protection of our fol-ow-subjects
along the frontier, exposed to the
marauding operations ot the Fenians, it was re
solved to call out 10,000 volunteers for the pro
tection and defense of the Canadian frontier.
This step is adopted mainly as a precautionary
measure, but U wanted for more active service,
the volunteers will be nn hand. It is hoped that
active exertions will not bo necessary, but If
they are, the Government relies with confidence
on the courage on the Canadian volunteers.
Very naturally this action has produced in
tense excitement, and the usually phleematlo
citizens who go to bed at sunset, are dazzled
and bewildered with the treat event. The red
coat martinets of the regular armv swell won
derfully, and from Colore! down to Orderly Ser
geant 'they are profoundly silent, mysterious,
and consequential the salvation of the Pro
vinces seems to rest upon their Atlantean
shoulders.
The orders for caKine out ten thousand militia
were promulgated in this morning's papers. All
at once it was discovered thai Montreal was
crowded with stranger, a .1 when those inao
cents came dtwn to breakfast and took seats
they had occupied (a rood manv of them) since
the'beeinning of your late Rebellion, thev were
glowered upon so fntrhtlully by John Brill that
the poor fellows, innocent at lambs of anything
that might possibly smell of gunpowder, t'hrunk
into their very slippers. All nasal-toned so
journers are suspected, and we must show olean
hills of health or very poktibly be compelled to
take the first train for St. Albans, where our
hank account are kept.
There are a few armories, containing relics of
tie wars of Queen Acne and some modern arms.
Around these the authorities hav stationed
guards, Just as if they were in danger. Seme
suspect considerable Fenian strength lying perdu
in this city; but I cannot imagine it possible.
Our population is much more than halt French,
ol the Kanuck pattern; and ef those who speak
English, not one in twenty it an Irishman. How
ever, we have got the scare, and it must run its
course.
The Telegraph, looking towards ana remem
bering St. Albans, with a sort of guilty con
science tone, says:
' "In view of the tact that Montreal is at the present
time ikvored with the residence i a larre lumber ot
suspicious strangers, who exhibit a good deal ot in
terest in oar bunts arid other depositaries of monev
and property, t woald be a wio precaution tor the
cltiz' us to organize ward patrols. A little extra pre
caution at this time may prevent some wailing here
after over the want of it.
The Gazette, after quoting accounts of Fenian
movements on your side of the torty-fifth pa
rallel, talks In this way about international obli
gations: "If our neighbors really intend to take measures
to prevent mixchiet', and to keep themselves from
embroilment because ot Fenianism, it is time they
should act. It is evident now to every one that the
Fenian leaders are making use or the suspension
ot the habeas corpus in Ireland to inflame the
ardor of their dupes to the otter most. They are
making the most frantic efforts to raise men and
monev. That they can raise money enough to carry
on operations on a large scale we do not believe.
That they oan raise mon and rreuey In plenty for
maiaudiDg paitle is not to be doubted. As
to the question of wrettlng either Ireland or Canada
from Great Britain, that we rerard as simply pre
posterous. But there is just now not a little danger
that foray alone the frontier, or even against Mon
treal Itself, may be attempted before the navigation
opens, Not many ot tboee who com over would go
back Onr hospitality woald keep them lorever.
lint lives will be lost and property destroyed, for
which the apathy or their Government will render
the United (States responsible. It is not a ques
tion ot secret preparation, et which a Govern
ment can either be ignorant or pretend ignorance.
The preparations are open, avowed, boasted of, and
paraded. The United States Uovermnent takes no
step to stop the work, and these men think, and
have reason to think, that it desires it to go on, to
, encourage and foster it Ferchanee tbe Govern
ment hold it best to allow the passion of the Jenl
ans to expend itself in gasconade, and thas fully
exerted, it will soonest die out. It is possible the
aathorities are right, but tkey risk muok by such a
course. At ail events, the oourse we must pursue is
obvious. A blew will be strack atutost Immediately,
or the r.ubble will burst. Daring the next four
weeks, therefore, every Canadian most be prepared
to do duty as a policeman and soldier to obtain and
furnish information to the Government, and te use

Government must act. too, vigorously and with de

from these hnstv notes von will be able to
learn that we are up and doing, and tor omce
have cast off that hibernation of the loug win
ter of which you warmer-blooded people are
-wont to make fan. Up to this hoar, however,
there has been nothing more warlike than the
sconrlne of old awords and the greasing ot rusty

istinctly mistaken. I learn from Rochester
that the Cananlun militia were called out lint

apprehended raid by tbe Fenians. No raid
occurred, it being postponed until St. Patrick's

Fenian Plan of a Canadian Campaign.
The Fedaa Circles are at this time intensely
excited with regard to the opening campaign of
tho Brotherhood against Canada and tbe iiri.uli
Provinces. All eyes turn to General Sweeney,
who is ready to develope his thrones of actio i.
He is believed to have the most practical ideas
of war; ana having already larpre torea of arms,
a treasury, and transports, he la concentrating
upon himeclf the enthusiasm of those Irishmen
who are weary of talk and eaeer lor work. We
visited some ef the leading Fenian Circles yes
terday, and obtained the following suggestions,
which, it is believed, embody the enure Swee
ney programme for the invasion of our British
neighbor's territory.
GRAND STRATEGY TIIE PARTITION OP CANADA.
Expeditions for the invasion of Canada will
rende.votts at Detroit and Roche3ter, and at
Ogdecsburg and Pliitlsburg, and at Portland.
Tbe forces assembled at the two first-named
points ate to operate couioinly asainst Toronto,
Hamilton, and the west of Upper Canada. From
Ogtiensburg and Flattsburg demonstrations will
be made acainttt Montreal, and ultimately
Quebec; Kingston will be approached by Cape
Vincent, while Portland will be the general
place ot embarkation for expeditions atraiust the
capitals of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
THE BAHES OP OPERATIONS,
The Canadian and Provincial borders once
crossed, bases of operations will be established
In the enemy's country, so that international
quarrels with the Washington Government may
be evaded. There are to be lands chosen at the
head of Paesamaquoddy Bay, Saint John's, on
the Chambly, close to tho foot of Lake Cham
plain; Prescott, on the St. Lawrence; Wolf
Island, at the head of Lake Ontario; Hamilton,
Cobnrg, Goderich, and Windsor, in Upper
Canada. These places are all within convenient
distances of the United States, and afford by
water an easy retreat, as well as cunning recep
tacles for frei-h American levies.
THE FORCES AT THE DISPOSAL OF THE FENIANS.
The Sweeney Government calculates lo have,
bv the 1st ot April, fifteen millions of dollars at
its disposal, in ready cash. This will give trans
portation and maintenance lor one month to
thirty thousand men, a greater number than
were ever before mustered to the conquest of
the Canadian possessions. Of this force, eight
thousand will carry the line of the Grand
Trunk Road went of Hamilton: five thousand,
crossing from Rochester to Cobotirg, will be
prepared to move either east, in time to act
lointly with three thousand men from Wolf
Island, upon Kingston, or to take part with the
western detachment in the capture of Toronto.
All this, it is belieted. will be the work of two
weeks. Thus intrenched securely in Upper
Canada, holding all the routes of the Grand
Trunk, with sufficient rolling stock secured to
control the main line, the Fenians hope to attract
to their colors fifty thousand American Irish
men, and equip a navy on Lakes Huron, Erie, and
Ontario. Tbe avenues to return so being secured,
thirty thousand men, under General Sweeney,
will move down the 6t. Lawrence upon King
ston, simultaneously with ten thousand men by
the lines of the Chambly. and these will con
verge upon Montreal; in the meantime isolated
expeditions from the rendezvous at St. An
drews will reduce 8t. John and Halifax, these
furnishing depots for privateers and ocean men-of-war
to intercept British transports and effec
tually clo?e the St Lawrence. Quebec will
thus fall by the slow conquest of time: or. if the
resource) ef the garrison should be greater than
toe patience or tne invaders, the same heights
which two Irishmen have scaled before, will
again give foothold to the columns of the Bro
therhood. '
TBI FLAN OP INVASION IN DETAIL.
At Chicaco. the Feuiacs already Dossess five
sailing vessels, atng, aud two steam transports:
at uunaio, may are nesotiating tor vessels; at
Bay City, Michigan, and at Cleveland they have
other craft in process of refitting; these will
simultaneously raise the green flag, and stand
roady to succor the land forces. Goderich,
Barnia, and Windsor will be simultaneously oc
cupied; all the available rolling stock seized, and
tue main line oi toe urana TranK out at Wrand
River, to prevent the oassaeo of cars and loco
motives to Hamilton. The geographical confi
guration of the western half of Upper Canada
will permit of a few thousand men holding the
entire section of country between Cobonrg and
the Georgian Bay. These are connected by a
chain of lakes and water courses, and the
country affords subsistence for a vast army.
nurses suiucient to mount aa many cavalry as
the Brotherhood can muster, quartermasters'
teams in quantity, and a vast amount of lake
shipping, will at once be tho property of the or
ganization. The country will at once be re
duced to a grand military department,
with Hamilton for the capital, and a
loan advertised for. While this it being
negotiated, General Sweeucy will push rapidly
forward on the line of the Grand Trnnk, in time
to superintend the fall of Montreal, where ocean
shipping will be found in great quantity. With
the reduction of Montreal a demand will be
made upon the United States for a formal recog
nition or Canada, whose nnnifc is to be changed
at once to flew Ireland. While this Is being
urged, the green fla? will sconr all tha hava and
gulfs of Canada: a Fenian fleet from San Fran
cisco will carry Vancouver and the Frazer River
country, ana give security to the Pacific squad
ron, rendezvousing at San Juan, and the rirhts
of belligerents will be enforced from the British
Government by prompt retaliation for the cruel
ties ot British courts-martial.
ABILITY OP THE FKNIANS TO BOLD CANADA.
The population of the British provinces is
nine aoove two ana a nan minions, and tne
military resources of the united provinces fall
short of sixty thonsand men. Of these nearly
ten thousand are of Irish birth or descent. The
States will furnish for the subjugation ot these
eighty thousand veteran troons. With the single
exception of Quebec, it is believed the whole of
tee imcim provinces will rail In a single cam
paign. During the ensuing winter, diver
sions will be put In motion in Ireland,
and while it Is believed the Brother
hood can defy the Queen's war transports to land
an army in the West, arrangement will be
developed to ennip a powerful navy, for aggreS'
eive operations on the sea. Before the 1st of
June, it is thought, fifty commissioned vessels of
war ana privateers, carrying three handred
guns, will be afloat; and to maintain these a
tremendous moral lpfluence will be exerted upon
every Irish-American citizen to contribute to the
utmost to the general land lor the support of the
war.
Bv the tempting offer of a surrender of Canada
to the United States, Mr. Seward, it is hoped, will
wink at connivance between American ciuzuus
and the Fenian conquerors, and by anether suu
nier it it thonght the dominion of the Brother
hood north of the fit. Lawrence will bo formally
acknowledged by the United States, Russia, and

0ISEQUIES OF COLONEL E0WERS,
Appearand, of tne Deceased The lla-
raalas Naronrted in tha NatlanalFlag
Ttaa Lying- la State Tha Burial, Etc
All that was mortnl of the late Colonel Theo
dore B. Bowers, Adjutant-General on the staff
or Lieutenant-general Grant, was committed to
the ground in the Cadot Cemetery, at the UDited
States Military Academy, West Point, at one
o'clock yeste rany afternoon. The funeral cere
monial, though strictly military, was a deeply
impressive one, its chief features beiug its
touch ng simplicity and solemnity. From tho
fact that the time that the burial was to take
place was cot generally known, because tho
Hour originally aeieiminea upon dv uenerri
Grant lour o clock was changed to one o'clock
P. M.. the attendance from abroad was not so
largo as was expected. This, with the fact that
the means of access to this military post aro
lust now very inadequate, all visitors having to
be put across the ferry through the ice in one
small rowboat, may further help to account for
tbe slim attendance other than military.
THE MELANCHOLY PRELIMINARIES.
After the remains of tho dead Adintant-Gene-
ral had been gathered up from the fatal spot at
Garrison's, they were placed in the care of Dr.
March, one ol the surgeons et the post, with
directions to see if the mangled parts could be
eo put together as to preserve the semblance of
a corpse, luis was lounu to Do utterly impos
sible, so thoroughly had the body been disinte
grated by the pussace of a car ever it. It was
then determined that the American nag snouui
be the only Bhroud ot the lamented Colonel, aud
the fragments ot the once perlect body were so
enwrapped and cncoihned previous to the final
rites.
APPEARANCE OF THE DECEASED.
So much of the body of Colonel Bowers as was
preserved made only a partial corpse a portion
of one ot tho extremities, a part ot one arm, ex
ceedingly mutilated portions of the chest and
hiad, lorming all thut was committed to the
earth. It was remarked that on that part ef the
face remaining comparatively intact a smile
rested, indicating that be died without suffering.
And here, it may bo added, was the only reco
cizuble leature, so tearfully had the terrible
crushing beneath the car done its work. The
ccflin was not opened alter the enshroudment
and depositing ot the body in the casket.
TBE OBBEQCIES.
The funeral was in charge of Captain E. C.
Boynton, Adjutant of the Academy. The reli
gious services were very simple and brief, con
sisting on'y of the leading of a few tenwences of
Scripture from the Episcopal burial service, in
presence ot tne .Liculenant-Ucneral and staff,
tho officers of the post and their tamilies. the
acbdcniic corps, tbe pallbearers, mourners, and
a lew citizens, among whom were Colonel mi
lium 8. Hillver, lormerly ot General Grant's
staff, a comrade of the deceased, and family;
General Kent, formerly a Provost Marshal in
one of the late armies, and Hon, . B. Wash-
curne and Jusr Honlton, ot the Congressional
delegation. The cadet battalion entered the
edifice in its order, the whole scene unmistak
ably Indicating that all was being dona that
could be to do honor to the memory of a distin
guished staff officer of the General-in-Chief of
tho army, who had met an untimely aud mclan-
cnoiy aeatn.
THE MAItCII TO THE GRAVE.
The services being closed at the chapel, the
funeral procession took op its line of march to
the grave as follows : 1. Music; 2. Escort of bat
talion, etc.; 3. Chaplain and surgeons; 4. Hearao
and pall bearers; 6. Engineer company; 6. Cav

APPEARANCE OF THE LIEUTENANT-GENERAL.
General Grant appeared throuerhont the melan
chely ceremonies as thonch he had met with an
irreparable ' oss. He seemed crushed in plrits
and worn down with anguish at tha suddenness
and appalling character of the death of his friend
and leuow-onicer. He was, however, as usual,
calm ana imperturbable, but sad and dejected.

The body was hurled in the cemetery in that

INCIDENTS,
As an illustration ot the modesty of Colonel
Bowers It may be remarked that at the outbreak
of the war he raised a company of men, who de
sired to elect him their captain, whereupon the
Democrats of the district, with whom he had
been politically associated and who opposed tbe
war. set up the cry that Colonel Bowers only
raised his company to get an office. He at once
enlisted as a Drivate, and so served, and when.
finally, after serviug with General Grant in a
clerical capacity, it was aecerminea to commis
sion him. on account oi his extraordinary abili
ties and fidelity, and detail hint from the line for
staff duty, he earnestly seught that he might be
commissioned a lieutenant and his first lieuten
ant made captain in bis stead. This was denied
him, and he reluctantly took the vacant cap
taincy at General Grant's request.
A monument will be erected to his memory the
coming summer by his surviving comrades of the
xueuienaxivGcaerai's stan. ao iqtk ueram.

THE GREAT ROXEUItY MYSTERY
Tho Murderer of the Joyce
Children Arrested.
HIS CONFESSION OF THE CRIME
A HARDENED WRETCH.
Etc Etews Klfl. Etc., Kto Et.. Etc.
Boston, March 9. The Boston Herald pub
lishes a long account of tbe discovery of the
murderer of the two children, Isabella N. and
John S. Jovce, which took place in Bus
bj'b Woods, West Roxbury, on the 12th of June,
18f5.
Ho was found to be a convict in the State
Prison, who had been sent there for a burglary
committed in Worcester county, shortly after the
murder. His strange conduct when arrested
led the officers to think he was a hardened cri
minal, and his subsequent boosting of great
deads performed by himself, together with some
ef his unguarded expressions, gave the cac,
which, being followed up by two Worcester
county officers, has fastened the murder almost
undeniably on himself.
II is partial confessions, with the corrobora
tive evidence obtained, leave no doubt in the
minds of the officers of his guilt.
Hi soubriquet is "Scratch Gravel," and his
real name Charles Aaron Dodge, a native of
Massachusetts, but has been a rover for fonr
teen year, being now twenty-seven years of age.
He confesses to having hunted Indians ia
Florida; that he was sent to prison for life for a
murder committed in South Carolina; was par
doned; entered the Rebel army; was captured in
Morgan's raid Into Ohio and Indiana; was pa
roled; afterwards enlisted in a Massachusetts
regiment; deserted in a short time; joined the
United States navy; and afterwards served on
several gunboats.

From the London Telegraph, February 21.
The condition of financial affaire, alter month of
ser.ous depression anoauting at interval a most,
to alarm ha undergone a marked ehanc witnin
the last few days. The stringeat policy pursued by
the Bank of England baa at lenrta nroduoed the
resalt desired. The beniflolal effect of a high
rt of interest in restraining undue expansion
nd nnforclna- caution as to new committal,
has never been more strikingly maniiestod than

absolute need of the restrictive coarse pursued
hi th Bank hat been Droved to oeniODiiration

change remained persistently adverse. Mew that
the tide baa turned, and things have assumed a more
cbesrlul aspeet, there i one remarkable fact well
caicn ated to attract attention. Wbtle all other se
curities were depressed, and even consols were
teadily falHn week after week, United State fivo
twenfy bond not only maintained their value, bnt
rraduallv advanccn from 63 to 67. and ar now quoted
at 68. Whether this exceptional reult is Justified

subject worthy of close examination. The amount
f American securities afloat is very great, ana. as
will oresantlv be explained, it is aDonc to ie vasuv
increased. The UtereBt on investments in these
bonds, it deemed entirely secure, is hies enoatrh,
evtn at their present price to tempt tha withdrawal
at nanital from advantaeeonaand uselul employment
