M alone, May 27. General Starr, of Cincin
nati, at 7 o'clock this morning, crossed the line
at Trout river and advanced with his command,
numbering not more than three hundred,
stragglers included, about five hundred yards,
when he deployed on the right and left of
the road, his extreme right renting on Trout
river. lie had not occupied this position
long when the British troops and Canadian
militia emerged from the woods a little
in front, and on the other side of the Fenians.
Line ot battle was at once formed by the British,
and a sharp steady fire was opened on the Fe
nians. There was at the time a small rail fence
in front of the latter, which was immediately
converted into a sort of a stockade. The Fe
nians, who had been told by General Starr to
keep up a steady fire for ten minutes, obeyed the
orders, ana stopped toe advance or the British.
Before the expiration of the ten minutes, the
Canadian troops, far outnumbering the Fenians,
made a movement as if they intended to flank
and capture the invaders, when General Starr
formed what may be called a rear guard, and a
retreat was ordered. The British continued
filing, pressing the Fenians, who managed to
maintain comparatively good erder until they
reacnea me Ltiiiea states line, wnen a tartin
volley was given tbeMJritish, und the "battle" of
I rout river was over.
Who commanded the British troops is not
known. On the Fenian side, under General
Starr, were Colonel Robert Cullen, Aid-de-Camp.
of Hamilton, Ohio: Major William O'Keefe, Ald-
tie-Cnmp; Maior William n. Bhanntrtns. Insnec-
tor-General; Major Daniel Sharp, Quartermaster,
of Rochester; Colonel William L. Thompson of
Albany, uoionei jvi. u jnciu or rmiadefDhla.
Colonel Smith of Buffalo, Colonel Campbell of
Youngstown, Fa., and Lieutenant-Colonel
Marion, of Toledo. The losses are one killed,
one wounded, and one missing, who were all in
the "Cth Regiment," Colonel Thompson, who
does not know the names of his wounded and
missing.
This preponderance of field officers gives a
good insight into the general condition of
affairs. There are many more officers than are
needed, and not enough men for the work un
dertaken. The Fenians had not in the affair
to-da3', which is ridiculously dignified as "the
battle of Trout river," and have not at their
command a single piece of artillery. The Eng
lish had a lew pieces, and they were effectively
worKta.
The men engaged have different views. Some
denounce General Starr and others uphold him.
Ymt this alternate support and denunciation is
the fate of all who have commanded the Fenian
"acmv."
The men are now loitering about In this place
unarmed, without means to procure food or
lodgings. They cannot but be suffering, although
thev keep up good spirits.
Auout 200 Fenian arrived at 2 to-day, and
the announcement of the defeat at Trout river
and the appearance of affairs here makes them
believe that all is over.
Central Gleason is in command of the Fcnl
ans now, and the United States Marshal has
Belied a large quantity of the arms. Their re-
cat ture Is suggested, but If such an attempt is
made, of course the United States troops will
resist, and then comes an end to tne wuoie
affair. No amount of money can now prevent
the complete if not altogether ignoble defeat of
the so-called "invasion of Canada," and if any
man intends to come to the front, he will need
to supply himself with money enough to obtain
food and shelter, and then pay his way back, if
he does not care to suffer much, or to live on
the bounty of the benevolent. The reckless
dash may yet be made somewhere, but the
results cannot be altered.

KILLED AND ONE TAKEN PRISONER.
Toronto, Ont., May 27. Matters in the
neighborhood of Huntingdon early this morning
asMimed a good deal of interest. Gleason was
reported to be in command of the Fenians, who
were said to be well armed. The Canadian
forces were Immediately assembled, and active
preparations were made for a light. Troops
were also ordered bacK to rigeoa nm in antici
ration of further trouble there. A small force
of Fenians has also appeared at Island Pond.
All quiet on the Niagara and Detroit frontiers.
At a o clocK all tne troops lie re, consisting ot
the 69th Regiment of Regulars, the volunteer
garrison (artillery and engineers) ot Montreal,
and the Huntingdon Battalion, an under com
uiand of Colonel Bagot, of the With, made an
advance on the Trout river lines, where the
Fenians had made a breastwork of rails leading
across the field on the north bank of the Trout
river.
At 8 SO o'clock, Colonel Bagot ordered the
Huntingdon olunteers, under command of
Colonel McEshern, to deploy across the field.
The C'Jth was ordered to advance along the road,
and the artillery to cross the river and go up
the south bank, ine movement were per
formed at once, and the whole line opened lire.
The Fenians fled at once, not firing more than
twenty shots. The Canadians followed, firing
as tney went, until tney reacued tne boundary
line, when they stopped. The Fenian officers
tried to re-form their men on crossing the line,
usdng swords and revolvers, but it was all iu
vain; on they rushed to their old camp.
oue of the Canadians were hurt, and the
Fenians had only a few wounded. One Is said
to have been killed, and one was taken prisoner,
The United States troops are advanclug from
Malone, ami it is said they will take the Fenlaus
prisoners before night. The Fenians numbered
from 1500 to 2000; the Canadians about 1000.
Fclnforcements arrived during the day, among
them being Prince Arthur, who caused great
enthusiasm by marching to the front with the
volunteers.
There must now be over 8000 Canadian volun
teers and regulars under arms along the Vermont
at d Northern Mew iorlc Irontier to Montreal
There is some talk of further Fenian opera
tions at Cook's Corners, near Figeon Hill, but
it is hardly probable, as the whole rabble are
utteily demoralized, and fighting more or less
ainouir themselves. A report reached here to
niht that a Feulan force was gathering on the
Detroit river. Ample preparations, however,
are made in that quarter.
A frigate will reach Quebec to-morrow, hav

fracas is now a complete failure and entirely at
an end. The men have become so disheartened
from repeated defeats and from the failure of a
realization of the promises of their leaders that
they are ready to return bome, swearing they
will move in no other direction again, and
threatening vengeance on any man who publicly
or privately again lisps the word "Fenian" la
their bearing.
On the election of General Spear to the com
mand of men composing the right wing of the
army of liberation last night, new confidence
seemed to be infused among the rank and file,
and early to-day tney again started out tor tne
front.
The expectation and promise to them were
that General Spear would join them a mile or
two out of St. Albans at an early hour, when,
after partaking of refreshments, which it was
understood lie would supply, tney were to
march again on Canada, the objective point
this time being Figeon Hole, the scene of Gene
ral spear s emphatic successes in iw.
The men were early ont on the Jlighgato road,
and took positions at different points from one
to three miles from here, where, hungry and
footsore, they awaited the arrival of commander
and commissariat.
After a tarry of five hours, neither appearing,
and the half-starving men having only a cup of
water and smoke of tobacco with which to
satiate their cravings for food, permitted human
nature to get the best of their patriotism, and
they declined to further servo in any capacity
under such ill-starred leaders such as they had
thus far been mad the victims of.
About 4 F. M. they started to return. At this
hour (10 P. M.) nearly all have arrived back, and
are awaiting transportation to their homes.
Those who were able to pay their own fare back
returned this evening, and a few more, fortunate
enough to be able to do bo, will return in the
morning under the same auspices. They seemed
to scorn the Idea that they are beggars or ob
jects of charity. Many others, not so well off
in worldly goods, but witn as much pride, nave
taken themselves quietly out of town, and en
gaged in agricultural or other pursuits, by whieh
they hope to acquire funds to enable them to
reach their destination without being either pub
lic or private debtors.
a movement, wnicn migut nave proved un
fortunate, was started this morning by Major
Moore, of New York. It was to recover the
arms of the Fenians taken yesterday by the
United States Marshal, Flanagan, under whose
care they were being transported here. Ihe
idea was to arrest Flanagan, capture the arms,
and deal them out again to the men. This
projected movement came to the ears of
the authorities here, and at once
Battery I, of the 5th Artillery, was detailed for
special duty, and they started for the front with
full company equipage and one hundred rounds
of ammunition. They passed out to Franklin in
wagons, and the Fenians, as they moved by
them, became convinced that turther efforts ou
their part would place them between two fires,
one, at least, ot wnicn tney did not care to en
counter, as they have much more respect for
Uncle Sam's neutrality laws than they have for
ijruisn bayonets.
inis appeared to bo the last feather on the
camel's back, and the retreat commenced in
good earnest.
About 7 SO o clock Generals Meade. McDowell.
Ingalls, and Van Vllet arrived here, and took
quarters at the Wcldon House. They were
waited on this morning by a large number of
citizens, to whom they expressed gratification
at meeting. To-morrow they will dictate the
terms or the United Mates Government to the
invaders, and allow them an opportunity to
legally desist. Among the arrivals in town to
day has been General John Gleason, who left on
the noon train for Malone, where he was to take
command.
It was also rumored, and authoritatively, that
the Rebel General Moscby was in town, and that
he had organized a band ot men ot one nundred
or more strong, who were to move out to-night
and inaugurate a guerilla warrare. It is so
much like the man that it requires stronger
rroot than is in my possession to controvert it.
I lie reman oiitcers, disgusted with tne action
ot Generals o iSeill and Spear, loudly de
nounced the manner in which the movement
was conducted, and in the course of their re
marks Colonel J. H. Brown, ( f Lawrence, Major
H. McGlnnls, of Cambridge, and Captain John
Monaban, of Burlington, were arrested, the two
former In this village and the latter out on the
Ilighgate road while at parade of his men.
1 hey were taken betore Jasper Kand, United
States Commissioner, and each held to bail in
$5000 for appearance at the District Court in
July. None of them could furnish bail. All
were taken to apartments at the W eldon House
in confinement. Subsequently Monahan's
numerous friends succeeded in getting his
bail cut down to $1000, which was promptly
lurnisned and he was released irom confine
ment.
Several Fenian stragglers, while on the way
in from the front last night, assaulted a eltlzen
of Fairfield, and on of them struck him with a
sabre, cutting him so badly that hi lite is de
spaired of.
THE LAST OF LOPEZ
Particular of the Last Hours of the Dictator
Mow lit Died and Htruauled for IJfe-IIle
mother Thanks) Heaven that lie Is Dead
Scenes After 111a Death.
When Lopez was surprised by the Brazilians he
was mounted on a grey horse, and trotted along
with two of his aides-de-camp, all the rest of the
party going on foot. This was the only time in which
the Brazilians surprised the Dictator. The orderly
of Colonel Tavari-s, the IiraziHan commander, as
socn as he heard that the grey horseman was Lopez,
cave nun a mow witn a lance, wnicn wounaea Lopez
in the abdomen.
At the same time others nred at him and at Itia
aides-de camp, one of whom full, having baen
wounded In the head. This was Camiuos, one of
Lopez's ministers, although wounded again, Lopez
continued to ride at half gallop towards the woods
nearby. Just at tho entrance of this wood lay a
great swamp, wherein the President's horse began
tosinK. to avoid any delay in r.is niirnt Lopez dis
mounted rapidly, took oil ids blouse, and disappeared
among the trees.
General Camara was then approaching, and was
told by a major that Lopez was there. The general
doubted it, out aisuioumeu auu penetrated into tue
wood, and lounu Lopez crossing a stream ami eu
deavoritig to reach the opposite bauk. General
Camara entered the stream, and when at a short
distance from Lopez, said to him, "Surrender, mar
shal 1 l am tue nrazmau Duuuuauurr.
As an answer Lopez nred a snot in tne direction
ot Camara, and, as he reached the batik, he fell on
his Knees exnausieu. in uaii a minute more camara
btood near him, ami ordered a soldier or the Ninth
Infantry to disarm Lopez. Lopez did not quietly
Burremier, but struggled with the soldier for some
1 imi.
At the same moment a soldier or the cavalry came
up, aud seeing the hard struggle nred at Lopez, the
bun entering ins neart. i ne uiciator iuii uown, auu
in ten minutes more wus dead.
HOW UK LOOKED WHEN KILLED.
When Lopez was killed his feet were la the water,
his body lying up the bank of the stream, lie wore
blue pantaloons, with a golden stripe, a very tine
Milrt-waiid, and melico boou. - His hat had been
lost. In the pocket of his wuistcoat a gold watch
was found. The pockets of his blouse were also
seurcbed, and the only things found were two pen
holders, some note paper, and au ivory ring, with
the cubtomaty inscription, " I tnarou murir."

were going another road In two carts, Mrs. Lynch
and children occupying one and Lopez's mother aud
bisters another this one being a very rude one, and
the ether being escorted by a guard of soldiers.
When Lleutenaut-Colonel Martins met Mrs. Lyacu'B
i-r.rrlaee. Colonel ranctio Lopez (auout eighteen
years old aud a son of the Dictator) did not readily
obey the order to surrender, as tne rest oi tne party
did, but, with lauces and revolver, offered most
serious i e lntance. After some shots had been fired
by hi in, Colonel Mai tins exhausted his patience aud
killed the vounp man witn nis sword.
Then Mrs. Lynch descended from her carriage and
laid her sou's daad body on the flout
beat of it. Hhe wept bitterly, Invoking

hair was dressed as If for a soiree, on one of her
fingers glittered four rings which sparkled with
diamonds. The mother and sisters of Lopez, when
taken, were in one wooden cart, on their knees,
thanking Providence for the tyrant's fall. The poor
rid Lady Carrlllo was sentenced to death, and Lieu
tenant Murizo had received instructions to lance
her In case of being overtaken by the enemy.
A HORRIBLE 8TORY.
It Is horrible to consider the reason why the Dic
tator had proposed himself to commit such a nefa
rious crime. When Lopez was still at Panadero his
mother was accused bra certain woman, the wife
of a Marco (who was whipped dally), of having
Planned the death of his s?n by means of poison.
thst was to be given htm in the form of candy in an
approaching festa. Lopez immediately summoned a
council, composed of Resqum, Delgadn, Falcon, Cav-
alien, president luaez, ana Aiveiro. Every memoir
of this so-called council, except one, pronounced
the story a mere fabrication; but Lopez, hearing or
the resnlt of the Investigation, exclaimed, "Avelro
Is rov only friend," and ordered him to collect all
evidence bearing on the case. It is useless to say
that this infamous a vciro complied witn tne wishes
of his master, and did It so strictly that he quite
often slapped the lace of the old woman and beat
her with his sword, as a consequence or this, Seno
rlta Carrlllo was condemned to death, and the
roatrlcidal hand of the tyrant appended to the sen
tence the cumpras te of his authority.
TDK CRUELTY OF LOfEZ TOWARDS HIS MOTHER.
It Is believed that this ferocious disposition In the
character of Lopez towards his own mother was im
pressed on him by the influence of Mrs. Lynch, who
could never forgive her disapproval of her (Mrs.
Lynch's) relations to her son. This story was re
ferred to the Count d'Eu by the lady herself, In the
presence of many Brazilian oiticers, soldiers, and a
number of Paraguayans.
DANCING AROUND LOPEZ'S BODY.
A few minutes after the Imprisonment of Mrs.
Lynch and the death of her dear Pancho the body
of 1 Supremo was brought In. lie had four
wounds, and was barefooted ; his feet were the ad
miration or inose sarrounaing tne oouv sucn was
their delicacy and fineness. While all
Brazilians were anxiously contemplating
the remnants of the man that for
five years had disturbed the peace of four nations
for his own selfish sake, some Paraguayan women
which accompanied the party began to dance around
the body. Colonel i'arannos ordered these furies to
get off, and the body to be Interred with that of
Pancho, as requested by Mrs. Lynch. Meanwhile
Mrs. Lvnen and several urazman omcerscut Looez a
hair, the Brazilians dividing it among their friends.
A DANGEROUS WOMAN.
All officers of the Brazilians agree that Mrs. Lynch
is a charming, dangerous woman. The behavior
after the death of her paramour has been tempered
with a high tone or delicacy and haughtiness. "The
mat slial died as a hero and the chief of a State ought
to die," said she, when told of the particulars of his
death. Mrs. Lynch was sent down to Asuncion on
board of the Princeza.

of life, and even certain luxuries, watch contrasted

Special Despatch to The livening Telegraph.
Washington, May 28. The following are
the comments made by Secretary Robeson on
the case of Commander Upshur, of the navy,
who was recently sentenced by a court-martial
to be reprimanded for purchasing a cadetship
for his son:
'This is a case of extraordinary and unprece
dented character. The facts set forth In the charge
and specifications were first discovered and dis
closed by a Congressional Investigation. The Inves
tigation and discovery of similar transactions
between otner parties leu to tne expulsion 01 one
member of Congress, the resignation of others, and
the passage of a resolution by the House of Repre
sentatives requesting the Secretary of the Navy to
convene a court-martial ror the trial or Commander
Vpshur for 'conduct unbecoming an otllcer.' In
compliance with that request this court was con
vened, and Commander Upshur has been tried. The
case is, tnereiore, quite unexampled in its origin.
It is equally so In the character of the accusation
prepared. The purchase and sale of appointments
and commissions are familiar transactions in the
army and navy of other countries, hut a-e unknown
to our military or naval service. Here every mili
tary and naval nomination, appointment, or com
mission enouiii tie maue auu comerreu as a reward
of merit, or as a means of advancing the public Inte
rests by opening an honorable career to pure aud
nonoranie men.
"The Navy Department would not represent faith
fully the toue aud spirit of the navy were It less
nronmt than the Bouse of Representatives to in
quire into every charge of venality and corruptlou,
or less certain when discovered to Inflict the pre.
cribed punishment upon the offender.
"Tne secretary 01 tne iMavy.tnereiore, as requested
by the House of Representatives, convened a court
for the trial of Commander Upshur. A court com
posed of intelligent and distinguished officers, allot
whom were senior In rank to the accused, and hav
iBg produced before that court all procurable proof
In support of the charge and specifications, is now
called upon to revise its proceedings, nnuing, ana
sentence.
"After careful examination and consideration of
the facts and law, the Secretary has determined to
approve tne proceedings ana nnaing 01 tne court,
and to carry Its sentence Into execution.
"The court has stricken out 01 tne specmcations.
as 'not proved,' an tne allegations or corrupt intent
on the part of the accused. Commander Upshur is,
therefore, to be considered as not guilty of any such
intention. His guilt, as found by the court, constats
in the navment of nionev intended as the considera
tion for services rendered In procuring the appoint
ment of his son to the Naval Academy. This the
court, composed of ills brother otlluers, consider
'conduct unbecoming an officer.' They so declare
by their findings, and the Secretary of tho Navy
concurs in the opinion. Appointments to the service
may not proper.'y be obtained by such means, and
the navy at least must neither be, nor seem to be, In
any way connected with the employment or them.
"It Is of the utmost Importance to tho character
and efficiency of any military service that Its tone
should be maintained at the highest standard of per
sonal and professional honor, and particularly that
It should be invariably regarded and treated by all
connected with it as entirely above and discon
nected from mercenary Influences of any kind. The
use of such influences under any circumstances of
Inducement by a naval otllcer to procure an appoint
ment to the Naval Academy Is calculated to lower
the tone of the service, when It should be highest
and purest, and countenance or excuse of such
action by his brother officers or by the department
would bring the navy Into deserved discredit. It Is
honed that the expression of these views by the
court to the department will serve to Illustrate the
true character or sucn conduct, ami oe sufficient to
prevent any future resort to purchased services to
obtain either nominations, appointments, or privi
leges in the service.
"This order will be taken as the reprimand pro
vided by the sentence of the court, and will be read
at the various Navy Yards and stations, and on
board of all ships of war in commission.
"UBOKOB At. KOBEKON,
"Secretary of the Navy."

Southern Preabyterlnn General Assembly.
Lovisville, May 33. In tho Presbyterian
AEsembly yesterday the Judicial Committee
made a majority and minority report on the
overture from Montgomery, Alabama. The
majority report favors tho appointment of a
commltteo of conference, with Instruction that
the difficulties which lie in their way of a cordial
correspondence between tho two bodies must be .
distinctly met and removed. One of tho resolu
tions of the majority report says that they must
purge themselves of error in regard to political
utterances, deliberately pronounced year aftec
year, and which in our. opinion was a sad
betrayal of the cause and kingdom of our com
mon Lord and Head, nor can we by official cor
respondence consent to blunt the edge of this our
testimony concerning the naturo and mission of
the Church as a purely spiritual body among
men.
After some debate tho majority report was
adopted.
