THE FEN I Aim The Prisoners in Canada-—The Grand Jury in Deliberation on their Cases Until 6 O’Ciock----They are Ex pected to be Arraigned To- Day—Exciting Scenes in Fenian Prison Life—-A Fight and Attempt to Burn the Jail, &c. rconespondence of the N. Y. Tribone.] Sweetsbttbg, Dec. 4.— The Court opened this morning at 10 o’clock, and has been occupied all day with the trial of Einery Chamberlain, for a murder committed in the township of Potton, on the 2d of August last. It adjourned at 41 o’clock, without having finished this case, which will proba bly occupy the whole of to-morrow. Mr. Deylin, of Montreal, counsel for the reman prisoners, arrived here this morning. Gen. AveriU, United States Consul-General for British America, is expected here to morrow afternoon, to watch the trials on behalf of his Government The Grand Jury had the indictments against the Fenian prisoners submitted to them at 11 o’clock this forenoon, and were' at work on them tul 6 o’clock. They will probably make their presentment to-morrow, and the per sons against whom true bills may be found will then be arraigned. Their counsel is ready to proceed at once with the trials if is believed, will commence on Thursday afternoon, as the mur aer case will then have been disposed of. , whole of Thursday will, in aU proba bility, be occupied with legal arguments, it is understood that the exception to the jurisdiction of the Court contends that pro vincial courts are not competent to'try charges of high treason. Counsel will ob ject also, it is said, to the act under which they are to be tried, contending that it is not within the power of a parliament of a mere dependency of the Empire to enact laws defining what shall constitute high treason. And thirdly it will be urged that the prisoners cannot be tried under an ex post facto law. The offences were commit ted in June, and the act, in its present shepe, did not become a law until the 15th of August, the act of June 8 having been amended and superseded by another sub sequently introduced. The prisoners had a lively time this after noon. Two of them, Crawford and Dan Coburn, had a fight in the Fenian ward,and Coburn, who is a powerfully built man, punished his antagonist badly. They be gan to fight with fists, and finally Coburn knocked the other down and kicked him ia the face, damaging bis nose, and nearly knocking out one of his eyes with the toe of his boot. The difficulty, according to one story, arose out of a discussion between the iwo as to which had rendered the greater service to the Fenian cause, Crawford’s version of it is that the subject of dispute was whether the parties who attempted to kidnap Geo. Sanders were acquitted or not, fiesajs also that the difficulty was aggra vated by a reference to an old gambling transaction in which Coburn had lost some money to him. Cobum applied to him a very opprobrious epithet, and the fight then began. The jailor and his assistants having enter ed the ward, secured Coburn and removed mm to a solitary cell, in another part of the jail, where he will be fed on bread and wa ter, and deprived of his allowance of to bacco. Scarcely had this affair been disposed of, when it was followed by a new excitement. About a quarter of aa hour afterward, the jailor entered the ward, to lock up the pris oners for the night; he found the do >r of an inner compartment of the ward shut; on opening it, he discovered one of the pris oners, Thomas Madden, in the very act apparently of attempting to set lire to the jail. He had tilled one of the tin cops used as coffee cups with burning coals from the stove, and had it set on the floor under the ash-pan. The theory is that he wanted to >et hre to the floor or more probably that he was to carry the coals to his cell and set fire to the bed clothes in the hope that in the confusion caused by an alarm of fire the prisoners might succeed in effecting an es cape. Madden’s story is that he wanted to light his pipe. Orders have been given that in future two fir three policemen shall remain in the ward wilh the prisoners to preserve order and orevent the repetition of any attempt at in cendiarism. , All is quiet in the village. There are very few straDgers from the United States. Perhaps there will be more when the trials commence. Meanwhile the capabilities of this and the neighboring village of Cowders ville to provide board and sleeping-room for the crowd of officials, military officers, policemen, and others who have been at tracted here by the trials, are taxed to the very utmost. Buffalo, Dec. 4.— Fenian military com panies are parading the streets with ban ners and music. The arms which were seized by the U. S. steamer Michigan dur ing the raid last summer, it is announced, are to be delivered to the owners at 2 o’clock, P. M. The bonds required by the United States Government were signed this morn ing. Fenians are constantly drilling by companies in different parts of the city and neighborhood. \ AMUSEMENTS.

We can’t get the nigger after he is Tnan and a brother. The Times’ Idee is, we’d ketch em on the score that the trash nater- Mly gravitates to us. We are too'latefor this.

Afore that time I Bhel hev gone into that other world wher polytix wont trouble me, and ef the orthodox relijus beleefs uv the day is correct, in thedepartment of thetother world in wieh I shel pull up, there will be a strong Democratic majority.

Andress, appointed Governor General of New England, including New York and New Jersey, in 1688, By King James ;11, presenting him as the zealous servant of his royal master, but not the minim? bigot and tyrant he is usually represented. The Intrigues in England ef Sir William Phipps and Doctor Mather were noticed at some length, and the opposition of Massa chusetts to the Governor’aexpedition against the tribes on the Penobscot, the proclama tion prepared by theyonnger Doctor Math er, in which he was represented as seeking to bring that colony under the jurisdiction of a foreign power, and intending a general massacre of the inhabitants,and his final ar rest and imprisonment, were rather severely animadverted upon. The speaker said there was certainly no foreign power threat ening Massachusetts except the French Ca nadians and the Indians, and these Gover nor Andross had done all in big power to I suppress, while it was a fact carefully con cealed that when he proposed to his Coun cil to go eastward with the forces sent from Boston into Maine, the proposition - was not opposed by a single member. Massachu setts, he said, destroyed the consolidated New "England of which he was almost im perial master, leaving only the name, but New York, which has always had something distinctive, histori cally, geographically and socially, though mortified at being annexed to New England by the removal of Dungan and the appoint ment of Andross, did nothing to destroy the government which James had founded and which it was the policy of William of Or ange to maintain. Pennsylvania wa3 not I included in the consolidated Government, because its proprietor was a ready tool of his royal master. Andy as an Historian. General Butler, in his recent New York speech, incidentally alluded to a defect i-i the historical education of A. J„ evinced by hia asking an audience, in one of his “circle” speeches, “Would they take off my head, as they did the head of dames the Second?” A friend of the President, in the courso of conversation at the White House, the other day, called his attention to this, and asked him if it wasn’t a mistake of the reporters, by which he was made to say James the Second lost his head. “Certainly it is ” said Andy. “The whole press of the coun try seemed to be bought up to misrepresent said, and to make me appear ridiculous in the eyes of the world. I never said that James the Second lost his head. It was Charles the Second I spoke of. For which Andy will, as Captain Cuttle says, overhaul the book, and when found, make a note on’t. His Excellently was evi' aentiy trying to think, when he made the speech from which Butler quotes, of that memorable reply of Mr. Lincoln’s, during the Hampton Hoads conference, when he expressed a doubt as to his right to make terms with the rebels, and it was answered that Charles the First had offered to do so. “ Well,” said Mr. Lincoln, “you must talk to Seward about historical matters" of that kind; all I recollect of that affair is that Charley lost his head for it.” Andy’a at tempt to correct the “mischievons misre presentations” of the reporter in this case reminds me of the young gentleman in a debating society, who, having made the mistake of speaklDg of the Panic wars as “that great struggle between the Grecians and the 'Eomans,” subsequently begged pardon for the lapsus livguce, and said he meant, Dot the Grecians and the Romans, but the “Grecians and the Lacedemonians.” Our beloved President is not a quotable au thority in history, except such as pertains to the “tribunes of tue people.” These re markable powers having disappeared from Rome some centuries since, to reappear in Greenville, Tennessee, at this late day, A. J. knows all aboutthem.— Washington Cor , refpondence Cincinnati Commercial, FOUI’IC&L » A Texas View.— Flake’s Qalveston Bul letin, speaking of the Northern Copperhead advocacy of negro suffrage, says: The secret of all these movements, in which so many papers participate, is to get rid of giving the North something it does want by giving it something it does not want. It does not want negro suffrage, which is offered, but it does want the disqualifioation from ofSc9 of the old confederate leaders. This disquali fication is inevitable, and if negre suffrage is given by the South, the other demand will , be just as firmly insisted upon. But if the amendment is adopted, negro suffrage will, our opinion, not be required. Political papers make many calculations about the effect of measures ou party exist ence, a phase of the question in whioh we have no concern.

Diggs, aac h ilthe true name °f the son, who hS passK f‘s” en ‘ times by dilferent aliases, entered p°?f edera ? e about twelve months i ibf.PP®? 111 ? of the war, and served *5 a nuE oher of regiments. At the battle <.f _ Stone Elver he received the medal as being the bravest man of his command. Shortly after the'fight at Mur freesboro, Diggs abandoned his regiment, aua joined a notorious gang of guerillas by one SSS Phillips’ Guerillas. From this rime on mfn los U n tfie cruel andinhn man wretrii whose delight was rapine and j plunder. In the pursuit of booty, especially .money, he has beeai known to proposeand ; execute almost unheard-of tortures. In Seo tember of 1864, Diggs and several others & die above-mentioned gang captured six Federal soldiers at Johnsonville, took them out Bear Paris, and shot the last man in cold Mood; after stripping the slain, and clothing themselves in the still reeking and blood v garments of their victims, tney mounted then: horses and rode like madmen through of the town, with drawn weapons, i sweanng they would kill any one who i shondd speak a word against their conduct. About the same time Diggs was impli catedm some terrible outrages committed m Carroll county. A small party, of which be was one, visited the house of Edward Gwm, a well-known citizen, and reported quite wealthy. They bound the old genUe man in a helpless condition and then pro ceeded to inflict cruel tortures for the pur pose of making him discover where his mo ney was concealed. They burned his feet and ears, and tortured him in the most savage manner with hot irons. FiomGwin they took one thousand five hundred dol lars, and from another man named Frank Thomas, three hundred more. Shortly after this some of Hood’s or For rest’s command chased this notorious gang iromtbe country, and succeeded in cap turing nvo of them, Lucer and McKinsev who were court-martialed and hung a/I terwards ibe Independent Company of Coniederates, commanded by Petty Jones, captured and killed two more of this infamous gang. The Federals at Johnson ville also succeeded at various times in dis posing of several more. “Pudd Di ms ” cowever, was too shrewd for them 3 and succeded-slways in eluding their grasp. : At the close of the war attempts were made to arrest this young desperado for the outrages committed in Carroll county. It was during these efforts that Diggs met the Deputy Sheriff of Henry county, Frederick Irvin, while that official was searching after him, and shot the man dead in the road. After this act, Diggs left the country and went to Louisiana. He staid some time at Port Hudson, and afterwards proceeded to Aew Orleans, and then to Jacksoh, Missis sippi. After several months spent in wan dering about the country, he returned to Tennessee about five months ago and has been living for some time past -near Shelbyviile,\with a tnan named Webb ?r er , e ,? e b»s been going to school. To blind the authorities of Henry county, his letters were postmarked from different places so as to lead them astray. At last however they succeeded in locating him at Shelbyville. About three weeks ago two men went from Paris to Shelbyville to ar rest Diggs, but he learned of their design the country, after writing a letter to a newspaper. After writ es the letter, Diggs it seems con eluded to leave the country, and pack- HS h‘ 3 baggage shipped it by express to Nashville, under the name of J. H.Harbon. The sheriff of Bedford county, Joe Thomp son, learning of his departure, telegraphed at once to the City Marshal here to be on the lookout, and on Tuesday mornino- Diggs was arrested at the office of the Adams. Express, just as he was inquiring for his baggage, Officers Ambrose, Xignor and Sturdivant having been on the lookout for him nearly all night. Word was at once sent to the authorities of Henry county, and Sheriff Jno. C. Porter came to the city to look after the prisoner. It has been deoided to confine him in the county jail here until next'January, when court sits at Paris, Henry county. Gallant Exploit In Arizona-Official Com.- mcndatioo, Washington, Bee. 4.—Capt.
