Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, writes to a friend as follows: * " Harrismihg, Sept. >'>, 18U7 .—Dedr Sir: I have your note, with a slip from the Herald. My friend Mr. Bennett does me great. injustice, for the first time in his life; - and I can only say there is not a shadow of truth statement so- far as ,'I am , concerned 1 . , Mr. Stanton, is not a citizen of Pennsylva nia, and has not resided in it for more than ten years. Mach as I like him, if there were no other reason I could not ignore all the men who have so faithfully sustained me if I desired to leave the Senate. But I do not desire to leave it, and would, under no circumstances, accept any other place under the Government. I do not write this for publication, lint yon are at liberty to use the substance of it as yon please. Very truly, yonr friend. Simon Cajikuon. The Alleged Radical Conspiracy Against tbe President—further Dis closures About to be made by* the At torney-General. It is said that a mass of testimony bearing upon the alleged Ashley-Bntler conspiracy has been collected since the publicationor the Gonover dia closuree, and will soon be given in out another elaborate paper from the office of the Attorney- General. .* The additional testimony will include .an affidavit* of Captain Chandler, formerlv of the jail here, in which some important items'are de veloped as to the proceedings of the alleged Con gressional conspirators, showing the connection wi th Conover and the way in which his aid was ob tained. Interviews between Mrs. Dnnham and General Butler are said to be sworn to in one of the affidavits, and one of the affidavits relates an occasion where Butler is alleged to have paid dollars to Mrs. Dunham, and to have up braided her for not accomplishing what was expected from her. Chtmdler is said to be a man of good character, against whom nothing dama ging can be produced. He is also a radical, but be ib said to have been so disgusted by what he saw and heard that he deemed It his duty to in form the government.

The streets are now paved, not with gold, but with advertisements The flowers of lauguago now blossom under our feet. Just as geologists readin the variousstrata the evidences of plesiosauri and megalotheria bo now we may* read the evidences of barbers and photographers. Shakespeare saw sermons in Btoues,.but we now see advertisements in them. The stones, according to the fable, followed Or pheus; but now, judging by t|ic. verses, Orpheus lollows the stones.

If the diligent seeker after the grand and the beautiful in nature would make choice of route No. fi2 in the schedule of cheap and pleasant ex cursion trips arranged by the Camden and Am boy Railroad Company, lie will have some such programme as the following set down for him: Philadelphia to New York, by way of Camden and Amboy and New Jersey railroads: New York to Albany, by way of Hudson River boats: Albany to Saratoga; Saratoga to WbitcHall, by wav of 'Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad: White Hall to Houses loint, by way of-Luke Champlain steam ers; Rouse’s Point to St. John’s; St. John's to Bellows r bIIb; (Mount Mansfield can be visited from v\ aterbury for £1 additional;) from Bellows rails to Brattleboro; Brattleboro to South Ver non; South Vejnoh to .Springfield; by . way ,of Connecticut River Railroad; Bprlngflcld to New lork, by way of the N. Y. and N. H. Railroad; New York to Philadelphia, by way of the New Jersey and Camden and Amboy railroads. He can take this route without any very great expenditure of either time or money, and see much that is well worthy of a fair outlay of both. There is no need, in these days of cheap .travel,, to dilate upon the beauties of the Hudson, on the healing qualities of the famed'Waters of Saratoga, or to scarcely more than refer to the beauties of Lake Champlain, with the Adirondac Mountains looming up upon the left, as the boat ploughs its way toward the Canada lines, and with the his toric Green Mountains of Vermont towerin* upon the right, just as they have towered since the creation of the world, and just as they will continue to tower until the crack of doom, for all the present deponent knows or believes to the contrary. Audit is of these Green'Moan tains that we would principally discourse. If the tourist will strike ‘otr from Watcrbury, per stage, he will, after a pleasant ride through many scenes of romantic beauty and interest, and amid ten thousand evidences of New Eng hml thrift and enterprise, find himseli at the pleasant village of Stowe, located among the Green Mountains, about five hundred feet above tide-water. Although pretty well up in the world, topographically speaking, Stowe is still low down comparatively, for lofty summits loom above it upon ail sides; while Mount Mansfield, with ils famous nose of rock, towers to a height of between four thousand and five thousand feet above the plateau upon which the town is built. To ascend Mount Mansfield, and to achieve the “Nose" is what U expected of every right-minded tourist, and as we claim'to be in that blissful mental condition, we imitated C;esar, and came, and saw, and con quered the ascent, thanks to the sure-footed pony which was our Bucephalus,oar White Surrey,our Marcugp, our “Old Wbitey,” our Winchester, and almost everything equine for the nonce, but tfbich bore the unclassical and unromantic name of “Pat, 'Jr.” Pat was moreover greatly ad dicted to btopping at perilous points upon the Wpward journey to munch the ferns that grow most luxuriantly along the bridle-path up the steep sides of the mountain. It is a pre liminary as necessary to the ascent •of Mansfield to first go to Stowe as, according to the Glass theory.it Ua condition precedent to first catch your fish if you would eDjoy a first-class chowder. Now, to go to Stowe, means to go to the Mansfield House, which is under the management of Mr. L. Love, and which, in the fashionable season, sets forth as fine an array of elegant ladies, brave men, bright diamonds, long silken trains, and purple and fine linen generally as can be found at the most faTorc-d hostclritsof Saratoga or Newport. But lotting the purple and fine linen go for what they are worth, we enjoy our excellent night’s rest, and our as excellent breakfast, and soon after the matutinal meal has been dis posed of we start upon our mountain-ascend ing expedition. The managers of this business shrewdly give adventurous tourists as little saddle experience as possible. A stage takes them to the “Half-way house,” the last possible point at tainable by anything upon wheels, and the pony must do the rest. When David, the great French painter, wanted to flatter his imperial patron, he represented him crossing the Alps, mounted upon a perfect Mazeppa of an nntrained fiery stepd, rjbichifeared and capered upon his hind-legs In the most approved circus style. The substantial fact is that Napoleon performed that little Al- pine expedition of his, mounted uppn a particu larly sober mule, and he also took good care to be supplied with as careful and discreet a guide as could he procured. The rearing and ramping steed did very well on canvass, bnt for the prac tical work of the mountains the distinguished Corsican preferred 1 a sure-footed donkey 1 , and precisely the same prudential considerations im pelled ns to select Pat, Jr.,bn the occasion of our recent ascent of Mount. Mansfield. The reader will, if he pleases, imagine a string of eight or ten ponies,' each bearing bis load of sight-seeing humanity, both sexes being represented among the latter. For a time it is plain sailing enough, the horses in single file zig-zag np tha steep sides of the mountain, or they proceed directly forward where the ground js sufficiently level to permit that 6tyie of progression. But as the traveler advances Ithc dif ficulties thicken . and his trials increase. It is now that he begins to understand and ap preciate those school-book pictures, which repre sent the passage of the Andes or the mountains of Central America by adventurous muleteers. Here, for instance, we have come to a rocky point where the pony must 1 descend asleep and rugged path step by step, and with a huge shelv ing mass of stone that leads to a frightful abyss, that must be crossed over before a place of com- parative safety can be reached. Multiply the ( height of the Btate House steeple and roof by about twenty, then tumble np some loose rocks with plenty of well-worn crossing-flags among them, at an angle of about sixty-five degrees from the roof of the main building to the belfry of the steeple, and ' then travel up and down the rocky causeway upon horse-back, and the' uninitiated reader may form some idea of the ascent of a. lofty mountain, and of the peculiar sensations which the journey excites in the breast of the citizen whose experience in the mountain-climb ing line has been limited to the ascent of the steps at tho Fainnount reservoir, and whose practical knowledge of horses has principally been gained by profound observations of the ani mal from within the safe recesses of a city rail way car. But, these mountain-climbing ponies are wonderfully intelligent and conscientious creatures, and their snie-footedness never falls. Pat, Jr., is best among the most approved of mountain horses, and an '"'up biU jonmey of a couple" of hours brought the writer jafely to tiro Tip-top House, on the summit of Mount Mansfield, tad nearly or quite five thousand feet above the level of tbe sea, - if there were perils to bo feared upon the PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1867. upward journey, and toils to be encountered, all were compensated for by the magnificent view which burst upon'tho sight., ■ The entire range of the Green Mountains, the Adirondack the While Mountains of New Hampshire, innumerable towns and villages, Lakes Champlain aiui Mcmphremagog, the rivers St. Lawrence and Winooski, and Montreal Mountain; all lay stretched at our feet, and produced a panorama of exquisite beauty and unbounded interest. The “Nose,” a roclcy protuberance a hundred and sixty feet in height, which takes its name from the resemblance of its contour to that of the human nasal organ, is beyond the climbing skill of Pat. Jr., even, and the tourist who mounts to its summit-must do- it afoot,'and with the aid of hands and knees; nor must he despise the, as j sistance of a friendly rope, if he would not leave the proboscis unachieved. A good, wholesome dinner at the Tip-top House completes the .pro gramme on the mountain-top, and Pat. Jnturas his steps down hill with the same patience and intelligent fidelity, and,, with the same unlimited capacity for road-side tern-fodder as characterized the upward journey. By the time Stowe and the Mansfield House have been reached the adventur ous traveler finds himselfin good condition for supper and a sound night’s rest,and hegoes to bed to dream of scaling impossible precipices and of performing wonderful feats of ground-and-lofty tumbling over the heads of astonished ponies; or perhaps Pat, Jr., appears to him on a steep hill side in the Land of Nod, and the grateful dreamer iinmcdmtolyj proceeds to imitate a couple of the Ciesars by ordering the faithful nag a peck of gilt oats and elevating him to a Consulship THE AMNESTY PBOCIiAMATIOIV, Opinions of tlie New Vork Press. . [From the Tribune! \\ e were in favor of a sweeping Amnesty when Mr. Johnson was raring and roaring thrice a day that “treason was a crime, and traitors must be punished.” We are in favor of it now, and would gladly have every peaceable, well-dis loscd man in the South assured that no iann will befall him because of his share in the rebellion so long as he deports lumself as a good citizen should. Let- those who . were rebclsfeel and know that they may plant and till, build and trade, buy lands and sell them, with out fear of confiscation or molestation. So fir as President Johnson’s new proclamation tends to secure this end, it has our nearly approval. But the President is evidently reaching far be yond this. He renews his original claim of a right to dictate the essential terms of Reconstruc tion, and in a more offensive form. In 1865, he Sought to lead and guide Congress; in 1867 he assumes to defy and subvert the plainest provi sions of law. Congress, by the pending Constitutional Unit D ° meDt irt ' 1188 ex P rcssl y provided “ Sec. 3. No person shall be a Senator, or Re presentative in Congress, or elector of President or Vice President, or hold, any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legis lature, or aa an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or re- I bellion against the same, or given aid or ■ comfort I to the enepiies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such I disability.” I Hereupon, the original Reconstruction Act 1 (March 2, 1866), See. 5, closes thus: I “Provided, That no person excluded from the privilege of holding office by said proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, shall be eligible to election as a member of the Convention to frame a Constitution for any of said Rebel States, nor shall any such person vote for members of such Convention.” And the Supplementary Reconstruction Act of July 14, 1867 (Sec. 7), prescribes that "No person shall, at any time, be entitled to be registered or to vote, by reason of any Executive yordon or amnesty, for any act or thing which, Kithont suebipardon or amnestv.would disqualify him for registration or voting/’ '• This is tM law of the land! It is in precise accordancol/with the doctrine uniformly main tained by [president Lincoln, especially at the Peace Conference in Hampton Roads (Fob. 3, 1*65), wherein he informed the Confederate en voys— (as was _ stated in the despatch of Gov. Seward to Minister Adams at London, transmit ted by President Lincoln to Congress on the 9th, in reply to its call for information of the Bth) that “The complete restoration of the National authority everywhere was an indispensable con dition ol any assent on our part to whatever form of peace might be proposed. The President assured the other party that, while he must adhere to these positions, he would be prepared, so far as pacer is lodged icith the Executive, to exercise liberality. Its power, however, is limited by the Constitution; and, when peace should be made Congress must necessarily act in regard to appro priations of money, and to the admission of revre sentativesj'rom the insurrectionarg States. —Here is a landmark so high that it cannot lie overlooked, so solidly based that it cannot be overthrown.' Mr. Johnson may break his own head in running against it, but it will stand as firmly afterward as before. The only thing he is likely to effect is to excite an antagonism 3 and a conflict between Congress and the leading Rebels' now excluded from the voting registries wnich will tend to prolong indefinitely the disfranchisement of the latter. This we should most earnestly deplore. We hope to see ’ every seceded State restored and nearly qr quite every ex-rebel enfranchised before the impending choice of President. Mr. Johnson’s proclamation whatever may be his.motive, tends to defeat this! If the ex-r.ebcls are deluded into complicity with his schemes, he will defeat it Let them keep per fectly quiet, and we trust the mischief may yet be averted. 11*0)111 the Times.] The precise terms and scope of the Amnesty Proclamation are of comparatively small moment. The assertion by the President of his right to issue such a proclamation- at all, is the paiht which most concerns the country. Tho-par don of a few rebels, more or less, is not worth squabbling about, if be wields tbe power implied in a general declaration of anmestv. it Is with reference to this point that botli the President and the proclamation will be j ndged. . The most elastic interpretation of the power to pardon coriferrcd.by the ‘Constitution docs not fairly justify the proclamation we publish this morniDg. The common-sense version of the constitutional provision limits it to individual eases, and deems it the remission of a >enalty which has been legally pronounced. Mai, conviction, sentence—all must precede the, President’s exercise of pardon, which in the nature of things contemplates exceptional circumstances in mitigation of penalties, and an individual scrutiny in relation to them.. What has this to do with What warrant docs a constitutional authority* to remit penal ties, decreed in course of law, give for a general act of oblivion, proclaimed in advance of trial, and m direct contraytaiion of law? The, plea is probably, that the penalties ira )o6Cu under the reconstruction acts are eauiva tat to penalties decreed in ordinary form of law, and that therefore the Executive power to pardon comes properly into play. Such a construction, however, is far-fetched arid obviously inadmissi ble. lor it ignores the Individuality which is inseparable from the ordinary pardoning power agd attributes to the President an authority to annul all legisiation bmpoeing penalties; a nhaae of the, veto power which no President has here urfore ventured to assert.

For Mr. Johnson'? usurpa tion of power at the close of the war, in pulling LOW ji.i EC Uing II P nnc * dictating terms and conditions to the Southern States, tLe pcculiari tieg of the position might be urged in extenuation, for the ifsijf- of this proclamation there is no' pretext, and there can be no palliation. It Is a demonstration? of unauthorised authority for purposes at variance with the sworn duty of the Executive a? administrator of law. The proclamation is more than this. It is a deliberate defiance of Congress and its au thority, a repudiation of its enacted laws, and an assertion of the President’s determination to take the work of reconstruction into Ms owl it£ an ° B ‘ P 3 aD attempt to abrogate the conditions of reconstruction prescribed by Congress, . and to invest the rebel element with the means of breaking down the re straints which hare been prudently imposed on the preliminary workings of reconstruc tion. It is an insolent use of a power which Congress, in December last, explicitly took away. Mr. Lincoln sought and obtained legis p -„ Jation to authorise hia proclamations of limited pardon and amnesty; Mr. Johnson dares to pro claim almost universal pardon and amnesty, al though the measure under which Mr. Lincoln acted has been specifically repealed. Congress has solemnly said that no; such proclamation shall be issued; Mr. Johnson flings the opinions of Binekley and Black in the face of Congress and the country, and claims for his will the authority tne supreme law. What more flagrant form could Executive usurpation take short of a die tatorship ? C. 8., Jit. The effect of the proclamation upon the regis tration lists and the results of -the preliminary elections will not be serious unless its author fol low with other invasions of the law. These may be looked for perhaps, if the journals which are usnaUy the exponents of his purposes may In this instance be relied upon. The law itself is too plain to be misunderstood. But this palpable violation of its terms prepare us for as many other violations as may bo requisite to carry out the ideas of Mr. Black, if the interval before the reassembling of Congress admit of their execution. Meanwhile Mr. Johnson suc ceeds m complicating the subject of reconstruc tion, multiplying the difficulties which attend its operation, and intensifying the bitterness which his misconduct has produced. brand master of the Friends of Africa in , Parts - Correspondence of tbe 1 beading American Abolitionists. 1 [From Galigna&l'i Messenger, August 28.] The convened meeting of the committees of the anti-slavery societies of London, Paris and Madrid held their first sitting yesterday at twelve, in the Salle Hcrz, Rue de la Victofre. About three hundred delegates and friends proved their sympathy with the cause of emancipation and j the liberty of the enslaved. The platform was 1 occupied by many zealons advocates of abolition. I . The meeting was. constituted by the nomina- I tion of M. E. Laboulaye “o chairman? After the programme of the Preliminary Committee had been read, it was proposed and resolved that the Duo dc Broglie should be chosen as Honorary President; M. Laboulaye, Acting President; and the Prince Albert de Broglie for France; Don Sebastiano de Olpzaga for Spain; Charles Buxton, M- P-, and Joseph Cooper for England; the Hon. I. G. Palfrey and William Lloyd Garrison for the United States; General Dubois for Hayti and I others for Venezuela, Africa, &c., as Vice Presi dents. Secretaries were appointed for America, France, Spain, England and other places, and among them were Messrs. Angustin Cochin, Chameroyzow Viscarrondo and Yung. M. Laboulaye presented a resume of the organi zation of conferences and a constitutional out line of the several societies associated in the movement. He addressed words of welcome and cheer to the delegates who had come from other countries. ' The andlencc heartily responded In sympathy with his sentiments. ' M. Cochin re ported the correspodenee received by the French committees from absent friends of abolition,such as M. Guizot, the Duke de Broglie and others in France; Charles Simmer and Wendell Phillips of America, &c. He then delivered an eloquent ad dress on the progress of emancipation and the certainty of Its consummation wherever slavery had had existence. Those present who were con versant with the language (.French) in which M. Cochin spoke signified repeatedly their admira tion of his sentiments ana their’sympathy with the speaker. An attempt was made by somo ardent friends of the slave, whose modes of expression might have been deemed by some to be extreme, to in-. * troduce propositions to salt their own views, but on the representations of the chairman, they did , not press their sentiments to discussion. He presented the resolutions prepared by the sub committee. M. Cbameroyzow reported English and American correspondence and letters from other countries, which he followed by reading in English the resolutions which had been pre viously submitted in French. He was succeeded by Mr. Horn, who moved, and Dr. Underhill who briefly seconded, the adoptioh of the reso lutions. The motion was carried unanimously Mr. Waller, a companion of Dr. Livingstone in his travels ofetfre Zambesi, explained the condi tion of the Cast coast of Africa under the existing system of slave-trading. He affirmed that fire hundred thousand lives were annually sacrificed in that region to procure thelpresent supply of slaves for the Zanzibar market His Biieech was the testimony of an eye witness, and it was con firmed by reference to others. Lieutenant Mage ,of the French marine, narrated his experience on i tho Senegal- and pleaded the cause of the op pressed with great earnestness. The Rev. George Knox, of the Church of Eng land mission to Africa, addressed the audience in French, gave explanations of existing treaties and urged the abrogation of ail relations favora ble to slavery. M. Barrast, a delegate from Cuba, was introduced and gave somo account of slavery there and of the ctforts for its abolition. He represented the colonists of that dependency, and of Porto Rico, as desiring Immediato abolition, which he urged should he without compensation. The chairman responded that in other lands the abolition of slavery had been forced upon slave holders by governments. but there the colonists were asking for the abolition of slavery, and’ the government was the obstruction. Bishop Paine, from the African Episcopal Church of America, 'gave a historical Bkctcli of his denomination for fifty-two years, during which period it has existed, proving the liberality • and zeal of his colored brethren. The Conference adjourned at four o’clock until twelve this day.

Tugler, who is over fifty years of age, was ar rested on a charge of having attempted to take thclifeofMr. John Redding, at TVoodside, one of the suburbs of Newark. Robbery seems to have beep the motive. On arriving at the police station Uie man was searched, and a loaded pis tol was found in his possession, the cap being upon it. Another pistol with which he was t SJ me< r. jj"! remains at the residence of ” Redding, and , will be given to the Police authorities to-day. The stories of the two parties ore very contradictory,, as will be seen, but from the manner of the attack and the care taken by the accused to visit his accuser weli armed (which he admits), are of themselves sufficient evidence that evil of some kind was in tended. The aheged offender was taken before Justice Mills, at the police court, and by him fullv committed for trial. All sorts of stories have been circulated in regard to the peeummee: but the following, gleaned from trustworthy sources, seems to be the most correct: . ’ Mr. Redding recently residence at VVoodside, giving cash and a $l,lOO mortgage in payment On Saturday he drew that amount from a city bank, intending Ip pay off the mort gage tcr-day, the money being temporarily placed in the house for safe keeping. As he was- in the rear of his- garden on Saturday after business hours; .be was fcmiliariy ' accosted, and lookinguphe beheld Trigier, an old acquaint ance. The two men exchanged greetings and entered into a lively conversation,Redding speak ing of his mortgage and his Intention to pay it off on Monday. The accused then stated that he had recently been a member of the New York police force, and jocosely began to relate bis experiences, enlightening Mr. Redding as to me manner in which ne did business at that time. He stated that in order to intimidate persons he would frequently draw his pistol, and to further enlighten his companion he drew a pistol and went through several movements, much like a veteran going through the tactics. Suddenly be cocjted his revolver, and plainly but earnestly informed- Mr. Ridding that if he didn’t come down” with some money he would shoot him. Mr. Redding did not at first com- Erehend the situation, but la a moment regained* is presence of mind and hallooed for help. His wife saw the unpleasant condition in which her husband was placed and ran to his rescue, and the two managed to- secure the weapon, but the •accused escaped. The pistol was discharged by Mr. Redding during the scuffle. Mr. Redding started in a buggy in pursuit of the alleged would-be robber and overtook , him at Centre atreet, Newark, when an officer was told of the circumstance and the arrest followed. The accused makes the following statement: I am the janitor of a public sehool on Twenty eighth street, New York city. About a year ago I loaned Redding twenty dollars. After he had had the money quite a long time I askedi him to return it, but he refused. I asked him for the money several times, but he always had a plausi ble excuse. This occurred frequently. At length I concluded that Redding might as well pay me,- especially so when I found out that he had bought a house and lot. He was al ways in good circumstances. Being fearful that he would- put me off his premises when I went there, I took two pistols and loaded them with paper and powder only and put them in my pocket. X then went to Newark and from there to Woodslde. I met Redding In his yard and asked him to return the twenty dollars he had borrowed. He at once ordered me off his premises and proceeded to enforce his order by violence. I then drew a pistol to intimidate him, but X wouldn’t have fired. Redding managed to get the pistol from me. I was afterwards ar rested The prisoner stoutly’ Insists that the above statement Is correct.— N. Y. Herald. THE DOEIHIOH OFCAHAOA. Close of tlie flection in Montreal—Biot and Bloodshed—Tbe Brand Trunk Batlroad Employes Decide tlie £|ec» lion in favor of McCiee—Half a Dozen Men Said to Save Been Seri onslyUnrt. Mosthkal, September 6th—The polls closed this evening with a majority of-283 for T. D. Mc- Gee. His figures last night were 501, so that Mc- Gee lost 218 votes dnrmg the second day. If Devlin’s friends had worked vesterday as they did to-day he would have been elected; butit appears that they did not expect the large number of votes brought to the polls for McGee, which voles came in great part from men of the Grand Trunk Bailroad Company. After all the assu- Mr. Brydges, the men of the road came in bodies to vote for McGee. This was decisive in the electiop. : After all was over the young men of Mr. Dcv ,lln’s friends (they were very young men, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen years of age) went to. at tack the McGee headquarters, Mechanics’ Hall,so ns to prevent McGee from speaking. There were abont one hundred or one- hundred and twenty five in the Devlin crowd, one-third onlv being full-grown men, the rest lads. The crowd came up in straggling file on both sides of the street, now and then shouting “Devlin!” On coming up to the Mechanics’ Hall this crowd gave three cheers and a tiger for Devlin. There were about two thousand of McGee’s friends there at the time, mostly English and Scotch* and on hearing the cheers of the Devlin party they began to run away. The other side then partly entered, the hall and partly sjoned it from the street. Tins, lasted a short time, the lads on DevKn’A side Occasionally running to Victoria square for more stones and brickand then the pollceeame op. They made a demonstration of nfrnofc and McGee’s party-followed shouting In their rear, on which Devlin’s friends fell back to Victoria square and prevented McGee’s party from going farther than the Ottawa Hotel. The street then, between tbc Mechanics’ Hall and the Ottawa HoiePbc came the scene of a fight with stones and brick, and some pistol shots. The police fell back to the Hall and Devlin's party followed them up. Again these fell back at sight of the First troop volunteer Cavalry, which had then come upon the ground. McGee’s party now grew bold, and drawing revolvers, fired many shots at their ad versaries, who retired to the square and McGill . street once more. The flring_was returned from revolvers by Devlin’s side, and so the fight went on with very little loss on either side. McGee’s men called Devlin’s party “d—d) Fenians,” and I heard a. voice say, “VYc are .Feniims;” “Come and take us;” “Limestone Kldge.” ' Alter this the riot subsided gradually, Devlin's side not desiring to fight with the military, although there was nothing at all formidable about these, the cavalry having quite enough to : do to sit their horses. The fault of the riot lay certainly with Devlin’s party, who made the attack. The firing; how ever, began with McGee’s party, who were well, furnished with fancy revolvers, and, considering, this* showed great want of spirit In the fight. Three or four men were wounded by pistol, shots. The names of two are Dlnnnhan and James Neville, both wounded In the leg, I heard of one man wounded In the chin. These men I were of Mr, Devlin’s party, i On the other side-three men, named Bowie.
