The nomination' of General' Grant for Presi
:dent reminded one of his old soldiers, yesterday,
.t of a relic of the old Vicksburg campaign, which
c lie brought to this office. It is a copy of the
last edition of the Vicksburg Daily Cilizdn, run
101 l before the fall of, that stronghold. The fol
lowing is one of its items:
"ON Drr.—That the great Ulysses—the Yankee
Illeneralissimo, surnamed Grant—has expressed
'llls intention of dining in Vicksburg on Saturday
mext, and celebrating the Fourth of July by a
grand dinner, and so forth. When asked if he
would invite Gen. Jo. Johnson to Join, he said,
for fear thero, will be a row at the table.'
?Ulysses must get into the city before he dines in
st. The wa r y to cook a rabbit is 'first catch the
rabbit,' &c.
This sheet bears the date of July 2,1868, and on
the fourth Grant did dine in Vicksburg. This
;Sheet is about one and a halt feet in width, by two
feet in length, and is printed on the blank side of
2wall paper. In As musty columns we find the
following significant announcement : " Old
VI Imes is dead."

(Icier on the heulinitre•
As only a fortnight remains for viewing the fine
collection at the Academy of Arts, and as the
good public of Philadelphia still comprises a stray
individual or so who has not yet appreciated his
privilege of examining the progress of modern
art in its freshest bouquet, we will continue our
interrupted notices of the works in detail, hopiog
to increase the public interest in this capital ex
hibition. There is a little knot of French pic
tures, for Instance, probably never to be exposed
again, which is of the utmost, importance to all
who would study out the modern method. Bat
we must to-day take up a dropped stitch, and
confine ourselvea4o a single thread of observa
tion ; wo noticed recently the Bail'' , marbles—let
us see what else we can find in the Sculpture Gal
lery.
We have little. pleasure ha contemplating the
model for the Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers,
by Mr. Billings; this dreary cone of meagre and
inanimate figures is oak:elated to increase the
natural ennui with which one inevitably con
templates the whole subject of Puritan ascen
dancy in this land. Mr. Swayne's design for a
Lincoln statue Is even worse; "with malice to
ward none, with charity for all," we are com
pelled to reject this study of some jaded shoe
maker who endeavors to straighten himself up
with the aid of bracing influences from a Sunday
coat.. One of the best portraits of Lincoln we
have ever seen, however, is Included in the pre
sent exhibition. It Is the bust by Sarah Ames.
It needed a woman's pliant sympathy to appre
ciate some of the qualitiea of that tender spirit,
which was after all strongest on its more
feminine side. Mrs. Ames bas presented us with
a face destined to live long in the memories
of those who eve it; the breadth of contemplation,
the formation of a deliberate purpose which crys.
Millets over the stagnation of a profound fatigue,
and the solemnity of goodness bereft of,hope,
are what one sees in this chastened and fated
face; Mrs. Ames has done her country a service
in committing to the white Immortality of stone
those rock-like principles for which he wrought,
and the pure mood in which he died.
The only monumental model worth any atten
tion is that contributed by Mr. A. F. Harnisch.
It is intended for a Lincoln subject. We hope it will
never be adopted-we should be sorry to have it
fall into the maw of any of the hungry and not
over-nice committees who are ravaging the coun
try for similar models. We hope the best-laid
and most inevitable plans for Lincoln Monu
ments may persistently fail until the artist arises
capable of embodying the originality, the wild
ness, the rude, new-world dignity of
the subject. Harnisch's design is one
of the eternal, fide, Italian thingS.
that it is filled with strength. The groups which
take the plane of those figures usually called
"Captives" In monumental architecture the
Slavery Freedom, &c —for all they are
Michael Angelesque exaggerations, every one—
for all that Indian, negro and pioneer are each
pure Greek—are inflated with a magnificent
breath of energy and life. They swirl around the
ease of tbe monument, with snake-like contor
tions of their mighty limbs, in a maelstrom of
passion and strength. It would be a rare thing if
a youth of Harnisch's years and education
were capable of the anatomy, the science requi
site. for these tremendous figures when magni
fied to the proportions of colossi ; we mean no
unkindness in asserting our conviction that he is
not. And as we have said, we are not so easily
placable as to be contented with even the best;of
the Italic designs for the first rery great Amettie,
can monument. We would be far better pleased`
with something like the mighty rudeness of the
shaft on Bunker Hill, in attending the day when
an American genius shall arise with a combina
tion of Indian, and negroid, and trapper keen
ness in his spirit, to build to heaven the memory
of the second measureless American man.
But Harnlsch,we confess,boy as he is,is the sole
Philadelphia sculptor in whom we detect the
glimmer of a divine spark. It may be a-peculiar
penchant of our own, but we generally feel,
when standing before'a work of his, as if in the
presence of something all individual and crea
tive. The "Cupid," when first produced as the
initial performance - of a lad, struck everybody
by the, sweet, sensuous abandon of its attitude.
The anatomy was full of faults—here bony, there
flabby. The "Power of Music," exhibited this
year, represents a youth with feet the shape of
bricks; but on the other hand, what a caressing,
airy, spiritual pose i No wonder the beast
crouches, charmed and touched, when the music
child makes his bed in its velvet far, and cano
pies its ear with the shaken vibratians of falling
..,ound shed by his lyre. It is a rare statuette, so
tar as purpose and conception go. All that is
wanted for the young sculptor is an education
commensurate with his genius.
The "Appeal of Naramattah" is a fallurejust in
proportion as it is ambitions. This crawling
white woman is an overdrawn figure, designed in
;be manner of Etty, and strongly imbued with
'hat artist's "Xercy Interceding." The chief be
,ide her is neither scornful nor repentant;—he
thinks of nothing but blowing out his chest and
getting up a pose before the footlights. The baby
has a good head, skillfully made half Indian, half
Caucasian; but its little shoulder is that of a fat
adolescent; and the girdle la represented as cut
ting into the substance of its ribs. Everything
by Mr. Harnisch shows an impatience of inish:
only half of Mrs. Narramattah's face is complete.
In his portrait of Mr. Mullen, the nose looks like
a false nose, it is so rudely battered into shape in
the upper part.
Mr. Harnisch is young; and, we believe, studies
as much as they will give him time for. We
recommend him to cultivate his very genuine
sense of beauty, leave intricate anatomical figures
until he is older, and avoid groups from Cooper.
A NEW YORK VIEW' OF THE SOUTH
BROAD STURM IMPROVEMENT.
[Correspondence of the Philadelehia Evening Bulletin.]
NEW YORK, May 23.-1 was glad to read in
late numbers of the Evxxxxo BULLETIN the arti
cles relating to the removal of the coal tracks
from Broad street, south of Chestnut. That re
sult, so longsontended for by the true friends of
improvements in the southern portion of
your beautiful city, is most gratifying. It
has been a great anomaly, In 'my mind,
since I first visited Philadelphia in IESB,
that the citizens of that city, so in
telligent and thoughtful in most mattere relating
to the growth and prosperity of, her commercial
interests, should permit the existence of the coal
track nuisance On South Broad' street, for one
hour, when, by their removal, every! toot of,pro
pony froml Chestnut street to the Baltimore
depot would be doubled in value. Those
trooke and the coal traffic in the street have
always been the" one great hindrance to Broad
street being the most magnificent street on the
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 25, 1868.
continent. The sites of the coal-sheds and mise
rable old rookeries along , each side of Broad
street would have been occupied by the splendid
residences that now surround Rittenhouse
Square, if the nuisance had been removed twenty
years ago, and to-day Broad street would have
been built up as elegantly from Chestnut street
nearly to League Island as it is north of Chest
nut.
Now that the nuisance is abated, your citizens .
should lose no time in paving the street in the
most substantial and approved manner from
League Island to Germantown, and extend the
Boulevard through the centro,the whole distance,
and lay wide stone sidewalks. By doing that,
Philadelphia will become the most attractive
city to live in in America, and she
will soon divide with New York the honor of at
tracting the men of fortune and culture from all
parts of the country, to plant there the homes
for themselves and their posterity.
Your railroad and commercial men ought to
join bands and make the grand termini of the
railroads on the lower end of the peninsula, and
build up the line of the Delaware and the
Schuylkill for a couple of miles above League
Island with magnificent granite piers and
docks to accommodate the shfps, and the result
will be that in a few years South Philadelphia
will become the Birmingham of America. The
shipping, railroal, coal, iron and manufacturing
interests will all be centred there. With that ac
complished, ' Broad street improved, as
suggested, to accommodate the fashion and
intelligence of your city and your citizens will
i
need no more to indulge npetty quarrels with
New York, engendered by jealousy. The two
cities can then go on improving, expanding and
developing, each in its peculiar sphere, and each
entertaining for the other that pleasant admira
tion experienced by two charming sisters, the one
a blonde and the other a brunette, both queenly,
but in style so different as not to excite one
pang of jealousy in the breast of either.

THE TEMPORAL POWER.
An Interview with Pius IX—AppePx
mince of the Holy Father—lnteresting
Letup*.
A correspondent of the Everiement ///ustrii, who
was admitted some days since to an audience of
the Pope, gives in a letter from Rome to that
journal some interesting details about the Holy
Father. He says:
'The Pope is pretty tall and stout, without
being obese. The furniture of his private room
is a square table, with two chairs and anaarm
chair for himself. The room is very small, with
a low ceiling, no curtains, and the walls covered
with paper of the cheapest sort. Those of the
grand official rooms are covered with silk. His
bed-room has yellow curtains, no, carpet, and a
brick floor, with a little bedstead of iron without
curtains. He is very neat in his person; his
bands, which are half covered with white mit
tens, are particularly attended to. He rises at
6 o'clock, shaves himself, and says his mass
m a little private chapel, and then hears an
other. At if o'clock he takes a small cup of
chocolate, and at 8.30 he receives his Ministers.
Cludinal Antonelli comes every day to the •Vati
can, and when prevented from doing so the
Under Secretary of State, Monsignor Marini,
takes his place. The other days of the week the
other functionaries in their turn transact bud
r ess with him. At 10.34.1 the Ministers withdraw.
The audiences then begin and are not over till,l.
At 2 o'clock the Pope dines in his private apart
ment. His repast is of the most modest kind,
and it always ends with a sweattneat of which all
Italians are fond. From 2.30 to 3 he takes his
siesta, at 3 he reads his Breviary, and at 5.30
goes out for a drive in a carriage with four
alights
horses, accompanied only bytwo young priests.
If the weather permits he tits and walks in
the most retired part of the city; nevertheless, he
is followed by upwards of two thousand persons,
who walk after him in silence. When it rains
His Holiness proceeds to the galleries of the
Vatican when the visitors have retired. He is a
great lover of antiques, as proved by the
researches and restorations he is con
tinually making. On his return home,at 6 o'clock
the audiences recommence and last till 10
at night, when be retires to sup. He goes to bed
at 11, and the next day goes through the same
routine. Though advanced in years, he sings
very well, and, what is quite unknown even to
many Romans, plays well on the violincello.
When I was received with my companion, the
chamberlain plucked me by the sleeve to make me
kneel. The Pope,perceiving the moveoaent,spared
us the genuflexion, and made us approach the
table at which he was sitting. 'So, then,' his
Holiness said, 'you are two journalists, friends,
going together to Naples?' He spoke about Na
ples, and asked us how we liked Rome, athling
that people found themselves very free during
their stay. He then took two photographic like
nesses of himself, one for each of us, and with a
sly smile said, 'I am going :to write something
for the journalists,' and, in a firm hand, traced
these words: _
Vfiligite rerikaent,
after which be held out his hand to us. His affa
bility is extreme. , He speaks French with as
much accent as Rossini. and the impression he
produced on me was that of a pleasant and tran
quil old man who appears to be but little occu
pied with external matters."
The POpe and the Montana Wounded
-The Kowa Guard.
[Front the London Shipping Gazette of 31ny
The Pope has recently reviewed the Papal
soldiers wounded at Mec...ana. They were ac
companied by some Misters of Chuity, who have'
displayed much zeal in collecting contributions
for the alleviation of the sufferers in the different
hospitals. The Pope, addressing the soldiers,
said: "My dear children, the Pope thanks you!
You have fought like brave men, and have
given him great marks of your devotion. -In
tact, what greater mark of devotion
can a friend give than to give his life for bls friend?
You have valiantly defended theteausetof right,
justice and truth. When you return to your
families take them the blessing of the Vicar of
Jesus Christ, who gives it to you with all the
tenderness of his heart. "A Pontifical Aldershot
is being established on the lofty plain nearly at
the summit of the Alban Hill, which from having
once been occupied by the great Carthaginian
general is still called "11 Campo di Annibale."
The life of the Papal Z•uaves is by no'means al
luring. They are up at 5. 30 A. 3L and have
to be in their barrack by 8.30 P. M. Their food
consists of somewhat scanty rations of bread for
breakfast, and beans for dinner, so that service
in the Papal army has the additional merit of
being a perpetual fast. Their pay is ISti._a day,
and those who enlist for not longer than six
months have to pay 60f. for the privilege of serv
ing His Holiness. The number of British Zonaves
is under 200, exclusive of the 130 Canadians. The
Pontifical government has contracted for 10,000
Remington rifles, of which half are to be made in
England and half in Belgium.
"No Popery' , Ulots at Ashton.
On Sunday, the 10th of May, the borough of
Ashton-under-Lyne was the scene of great riot
ing and disturbance, arising out of the spirit en
gendered between the English Protestants and
Irish Romanists by the lectures of the well-known
Mr. Murphy. A junction of processions from
Dukinfield, Stalybridge, and Ashton having been
formed, two of the principal Irish quarters of
Ashton were attacked, and a good deal of furni
ture was destroyed in the houses
of the residents. As may be supposed,
all this .was not accomplished ' without
some severe fighting, in which many pebple
were badly hurt.) In the evening St. Omer's
Catholic chapel and school were attacked by the
mob, and Much damage done. After that St.
Mary's Catholic chapel and school were attacked.
The bell was sounded to give notice of the
approach of the attacking peril, and a min
siderable force of Irish Romanists rallied to de
fend the buildings. These were ultimately over
powered, and a good deal of injury was
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
sustained, the fittings and windows being
destroyed. Some shots were fired, and
one person is said to have been wounded, but
no lives were lost. The magistrates were assem
bled, and the borough and county police were re
inforced as soon as possible by special consta
bles, but it was not till a late hour that order was
restored. Many arrests were made, and the pris
oners were taken before the magistrates yester
day, but only to be remanded while evidence
could be obtained against the principal offenders.
On, the following day, a notice was posted on
the walls, under the authority of the Mayor and
magistrates, stating that the Riot act had been
read, and warning the inhabitants of the conse
quences that. might follow from arty renewal of
the disturbances.
A despatch dated on the afternoon of the 11th
says: "Great excitement still continues, and a
large number of special constables are being
sworn, to be in readiness for any furtuer breaches
et the peace. The military authoritien at the
barracks have been communicated wile, and,
should the civil power be unable to cope with
any disturbance that may arise,
the soldiers will
be called out. About half-past ten this morning,
a great crowd assembled near St. Mary's Catholic
Chapel, and a few entered. The police were
quickly on the spot, and succeeded in quelling
the rising diaturbanee.
For some days past, says the London Daily
News of May Bth, Derby and the neighborhood
bas been placarded with startling announce
mutts that Mr. Worthington, the 'Btar, Diver of
the World," would exhibit on the riverDerwent,
at Derby, yesterday ernoon,and two following
days. Among othe facts he was announced to
jump from a bele' of one hundred and twenty
feet into the river. The entertainment was an
nounced to commence at 2.20, in a fleki on the
banks of the Dement, between Derby and Hur
ley grove. The performer, a young man of about
twenty-two or twenty-three years of age,
ap
peared on the ground at the" appointed time,
dressed in a bathing costume, and commenced
performing a series of feats under the water, in
cluding drinking milk from a bottle, peeling and
eating an orange, blowing a trumpet, etc. He
also threw a lad into the water and rescued him.
The exhibition was to close with the high leap
into the water, and Worthington ascended the
scaffold about quarter past four o'clock.
After remaining I ' some minutes in
making the necessary preparations, he put
himself into position for diving, and jumped into
the river. In hisprogress downward, he made
three evolutions of his body, and a medical man
on the bank remarked to some of the bystanders
that he was a dead man. Worthington fell
heavily on, the top of the water, on his side, and
at once sank to the bottom of the river. The
people seemed to expect that he would rise to the
surface, as was his custom, and some minutes
elapsed before any efforts were made to recover
the body. At last Mr. Smith, of Little Eaton,
dived Into the water, and after several unsuccess
ful efforts, succeeded in bringing the lifeless body
of Worthington to the surface. Four medical
men, Drs. Topham, Jamieson, Fent and Dia,
who had been witnessing his performances,
promptly attended him on his being brought to
the bank in a boat, and every means were used
to resuscitate him, but without success, as life
was extinct, the opinion being that he died from
concussion while diving. There was a large
attendance, both of ladles and gentlemen,
and the excitement was of the most intense des
cription, indeed caused quite a gloom in the town.
The body was taken into the tent used by the de
ceased for the purpose of dressing, and was short
ly afterwards removed to his lodgings. His mother
and two brothers were present, and were the
painful spectators of his untimely death. Great
praise is due to Mr. Smith for his exertions to
and the body. The height of the jump was about
ninety feet.
Visit of the Emperor Napoleon to Or.
leans—The !emperor's Speech.
The Monileur of May 11 contains an acaount
of the visit of the Emperor and Empress to Or
leans on the previous day. Directly after their
arrival they proceeded to the cathedral, where
they were received by Mgr. Dupanloup, the
bishop, at the head of his clergy. They then in
spected the Agricultural Exhibition, and dis
tributed the prizes. At the railway sta
tion the Mayor of Orleans made a speech
to their Majesties in which, after recall
ing the past elorles of the city, he said
that although Orleans was now a place of indus
try and commerce,loving peace and appreciating
its benefits, yet if France, "strong in her right
and jealous of her honor," were compelled to
draw the sword, the inhabitants of Orleans
would be found worthy of their ancestors. 'ln
reply, the Emperor said: "I accepted your in
vitation with pleasure, because I am always
happy to find myself again in the midst of a city
which, while religlouly maintaining such glori
ous memories and patriotic sentiments, devotes
itself with ardor to the struggles of labor and in
dustry. I was desirous to ascertain for myself
your progress, and to encourage it, convinced
that amid the general tranquillity of Europe it
may be developed with confidence. I thank you
for the sentiments you express toward the Em
press, my son, and myself:
At the entrance of the cathedral the Bishop of
Orleans addressed their majesties. He made
hold to say, he observed, that in all France the
Emperor had never visited a city mere noble,
more Christian or more French. Twice it had
been the last rampart of the country .against
foreign invasion. Paris, which he named-with
respect, had allowed — her gates to be forced
several times hy the foreigner—Orleans never.
It had not only been the rampart but the heart of
France; and the inhabitants of Orleans were still
the same amid the confusion of men and things.
In Orleans, more, perhaps ; than in any other
part of the empire, his majesty would feel that
France, when her spirit is closely examined, is,
and wishes to be, the very Christian nation, and
that patriotism and faith have always constituted
her honor and fortune since Charlemagne. In
conclusion, the bishop, addressing the Empress,
referred to the maternal joy she must feel at the
religious ceremony In which the Prince Imperial
had recently taken part.
In reply the Emperor said: "I am much
touched by the noble words which you have just
addressed to me. , It is on this spot that we can
dwell with delight upon how much religions faith
and true patriotism can effect for the safety and
grandeur of a country. In this city was pro
duced one of the most wonderful facts of history.
and the river which .flows beneath your walls
was formerly one of the ramparts of our
independence in the same manner as it protec
ted, in less distant times, the heroic remnants
of our grand armies. The Empress and myself,
in coming to share in the popular festivities of
Orleans, were desirous first to kneel within thit
ancient Basilica, and surrounded by the grand
remembrances of the past, to.ask. the Almighty
His protection for the future. I thank yon; Mon
seigneur I thank your clergy, for the prayers
Ton address to Heaven for the Empress, the
Prince Imperial, and myself."

• [From the Savannah Nene of the 2541.1_
About nine o'clock yesterday morning Lieuten
ant Charles E. Moore Quartermaster, on duty at
this post, was shot by Mrs. E.,s.' Mason, while
passing the corner ofYork street lane and Bull
street. • , ,
It appears that' Mrs. Mason, imagining that
she had some wrongs 'to avenge, has been for
some time past watching for an opportunity to
shoot the lieutenant. Knowing that he would
leave his boarding place, Pavilion House, in the
morning to go to - his *Ace, she waited for him at
the corner of South Broad and Bull streets. - When
he came up she drew• a pistol 'and tired,' the

he ran to Drayton street, and, turning up that,
confined his flight to Liberty street r where he fell.
He was taken up and carried into the Barracks,
and his wound attended to. All along the lane
and up Drayton street his coarse was marked by
blood, and in satiny pinees the sides of houses
were also marked, showing where he,fiom weak
ness, bad fallen against them.
Mrs. Mason, atter firing the shot, attempted to
shoot again, but failed to recock the revolver,
with which the shooting was done. She, after
this, walked to the residence of General Ander
son. Chief of Police, but not finding him In, went
to the office of 'Justice Verdery, and, add ressing
him in an excited manner, said : "Justice, I have
shot Mr. Moore," to which the Justice responded,
"Oh, no, you are jesting." She replied : "I
have shot him, and have come to deliver myself
up to the civil authorities." She stated that she
wanted him to commit her in order that the case
should go before the civil authorities. She then
became calmer, and gave the facts connected
with the affair, whereupon she was eommitted to
jail to await the issue of the injury.
About eighteen months ago Lieutenant Moore
married Miss Stella Mason (daughter of Mrs.
Mason), 'whole well known in theatrical circles.
As above slated the Lieutenant wan taken to
military Barracks and cared for. An attemppt

night there was a change for the better, and .

He had not the most remote idea of the inten

says that he was wounded ,without being in. the
least aware that he was in danger.
TBE CANADIAN SCARE.
Thirty Thousand Fenian@ to (flake An
other Raid Over the Border—Ever•
getie Movements to Repel Them.
[From tho Hamilton (Ont.) - Timea, May 21:]
A Fenian invasion upon a gigantic scale is
maturing,and a blow will shortly be struck which
will require the loyal devotion of young and old,
displayed in gallant conduct before a desperate
foe, to repel, and it is well that the people
should know and be prepared for the emer
gency. Notwithstanding the ridicule indulged
against this persistent enemy of the peace
of the country,Fenianism is now more formid
able in the nighboring country than at any
former period, abundantly supplied with arms
and war material, includlig artillery, of the best
description, and embraces a large body of well
drilled and desperate fellows, officered by men of
skill and experience drawn from the armies of
the late rebellion. The work will be serious and
bloody, and no good is to be gained by ridiculing
or underrating the resources of the enemy, as
nothing will avert the struggle upon our soil
save prompt and energetic interference on
the part of the American Government.
We understand the degrading political in
fluences at work in that country, under
which the Fenian organization has- been per
mitted to prepare openly for warfare upon a
friendly people, and there is a faint hope that
effective interference will be made from that
quarter before actual hostilities are inaugurated,
and some of the best blood of our people has
been spilled. Our Governinent are fully apprised
of the impending danger, and are now quietly
but energetically engaged in making every pre
psration for the reception of the enemy, with a
determination to render his visit brief and disas
trous to a degree that will prevent a repetition
during the present generation. Despatches were
yesterday sent from Ottawa to intercept the
Himalaya and the Montreal steamer, which
sailed this week for England with the Sixtieth
Rifles and the Seventeenth regiment on board,
and it is expected that they will be boarded off
Father Point and ordered back. The govern
ment will also take immediate possession' of the
railways and ateamera, and fall control of the
tekgraph lines through the Dominion. The gan•
boats on the lakes are to be manned by sailors
from her majesty's ships, one of
which has already arrived at Quebec,
and a detachment of one hundred men
are now on the way up from Montreal.
The Fenians design crossing the lines with a
force thirty thousand strong, and have a large
reserve ready to move when a foothold is gained.
The movement to the frontier, it is believed, is
already quietly progressing. The attack is ex
pected at two points, somewhere between Pres
cott and Montreal, and on the Niagara frontier,
the arms and munitions being already Stored
convenient to those localities, the work of
transporting them having been going on all
Winter. The grand concentration at Buffalo is
likely to take place under the subterfuge of a
peat Fenian National Fah, which is announced
to open in that city on Monday next, and con
tinue for two weeks. Simultaneously a grand
convention is called at Cleveland, where the no
torious Jacmel prisoners are at present sojourn
ing. Most of the frontier cities are at present
swarming with Fenians.
It is expected that the plan of procedure at
Buffalo will be, under cover of the so-styled fair,
to make a rusk on Fort Porter, which is at pre
sent garrisoned by only one or two companies of
United States soldiers, and take possession. The
Fort commands the entrance to Niagara River,
and under cover of its guns the Fenians
will then cross in steamers and barges
to Fort Erie. Other bodies will cooperate
from Erie and Cleveland andthe grand blow will
be struck at Fort Erie. There is the best of au
thority for believing in the truth of this as the
programme laid out, and which we shall see inau
gurated within the next few days. In the mean
time we trust our people will be inspired with a
calm determination to do their duty when the
crisis is upon us, and the conflict will be brief.
