BUTLANII, Vt., May 24.—Every train from
the East and South which has arrived here to
day bore irenians for the projected raid on
Canada. The number which have passed
'through Into -is not less ,than five hundred
while mole than dduble that amount pagsed
north over the Vermont Central . and Pas

0110 thousand Yenians are now at Burling
ton, awaiting shipment to St. Albans, while
nearly double that number have arrived there,
and been started, armed and equipped, out on
the high road to Canada. Whether they will
halt or" make a demotuitration, is still un
known; but while it is conceded no time will
i
be lost n delays, the Fonians are not evidently
willing to thrust their necks into a halter, and
will await opportune chances to strike a blow
at John Bull in Canada.
The Fenians are as yet unotlicered by gcne.

abundant, and seem to :exercise commanding
qualities, and are generally respected.
Ihe number of troops bow present akand.
- forthcoming . to St:Albans, is not less .than
2,500, to which every train from the north,
oulh and west adds tresh recruits.
From Canada we learn that the militia and
regulars are on the qui rice; and that troops
are moving to a considerable number from
Montreal towards §t. ;Johns.
The latest intelligence from the front is that
the Feriians have crossed the line, making a
stand at Pigeonifill; the old headquarters of
1866, where they have raised as a standard the
Suriburit . of grin headed with the stars and

. I /fob) the .purlingtoa(Tt.) Free Press, May 24.1
There was considerable excitement in the
city yesterday, over rumors of an immediate
Fenian raid on Canada. The stories are that
the Irishmen were everywhere knocking off
--work, and intendirig-to take.traiii for the tor
der ; that they expect 1,200 men along from
_the _,South ;--. -that - the - noted -- guerilla
Mosby - had been through here and is to
command the Fenian cavalry, and that there
is to be a general move,on Montreal from all
along the border. •How mach of this is smoka r
and bow much lire it is not easy to detertfaiiie,
It is a fact that thirty or forty Irishmen, em-
Ido.:iled ou_the city water works-and--in the
luinber yards, &c., left their - work Monday
morning. It is also,reliably stated that a num
ber of farm laborers, in adjoining towns, have
taken unceremonious leave of their employ
ers, without assigning any reason, and that
certain parties, in Sympathy with the Fenian
movement; were called upon Sunday night to
contribute money to active Fenians. We are
informed that loaded teams were again pass
ing through town at a late hour Friday and
Saturday nights. All WaS rumor and un
certainty (the Fenians thenaselyes being.
very reticent as to what was on
foot,) till eveningovhen it became plain that
an expedition of some sort was in progress
The 6.20 train for the North. took a car-load
and a-half of Irishmen, mostly young men,
from Burlington. The steamer Adirondack,
on her arrival froth the south, reported a large
number of Fenians, set at abou—
_L_t 300 awaiting
ra - mtwirtatitin — af - Port 11 enry, N. Y. At 8
o'clock the little steamer Curlew arrived from
Port Henry, bringing Capt. Monahan and a
company of fifty-five men from Port 'Henry.
These bad expected to reach here in time for
the 6.20 train north ; they brought with' them
several barrels and boxes understood to con
tain provisions. The Curlewnteturned to Port
Henry and will bring, it is said, all she can in
the course of. henight, in season to take the 4
o'clock train HAS morning. °
We despatched a reporter to St. Albans last
~v ening, who, found the sanae state Of excite
ment there, with a general exectation on the
part of the citizens of a renew I of the scenes
of the great Fenian raid of for years ago.
Parties from Fairfield reported the Irishmen
there all on the qui wire, and some movement
evidently on foot.
The Vermont Central managers received de
spatches from Boston yesterday, inquiring on
what terms they would carry a thousand men
from Boston over their road last night, and
have also, as we hear, been notified to provide
cars for an unusual number of passengers to
night.
There is this difference between the present
movement and the forther one, that now the
Fenians keep their own counsel as far as pos
sible, and that this time their arms are on the
border before them. That there arc secret
lepots of , Fetnan arms and ammunition at
Fairfield and other noints near the line, is no
secret. We have hoard the 'quantity set by a
party in 'a position to have accurate informa
non, as high as 20,000 stand of muskets and
carbines, together with at least one battery of
light artillery. On the other hand the prepa
rations to receive them in Canada are unques
tionably much more formidable than on the
occasion of the. former raid:" We learn from
Canada that the militia received orders on
Saturday night to hold themselves in readiness
for immediate service, and they are probably
tinder anus again before this. •
n Interview ' with Ittel's Agent In Chi
, f ,sses to have had a versa tion with Mons.
e c si on go.
A reporter of the Chicago Republican pro
f
emissary of President Riel, and to
I
have elicited the following facts: M. Perault
is about 40 years of age, and speaks English
with ease. s lic came-to Chicago at the request
of General O'Neil. He said that President
Riel was , not afraid of Fenian designs. O'Neil
proposes to strike for Bthisli Columbia after
helping Riel, and having gained possession of
the coast to lit out privateers to annoy British
commerce, until Ireland is declared free.
O'Neil and Itiel have been in correspondence
for eighteen months. The Fenians
of .California havel - -promised Vfflaid.
and one thousand of them are now 'marching
to Red Itiver., They left California and en
tered Montana .as miners. Colonel M. C.
Smith has chief command of this body. Riel,
with the.Feriians, will meet the. Canadian. ex
peclition7 with. two thousand live hundred
~men, well armed. O'Neil has promised to join
him' before the , _
'expedition reaches Port
Garry. If the Fenians should attempt to seize
the control of the Government, as suggested
by the.repotter, Mel, said Mr-Pet:in% would

-Dr. Spear, from the committee appointed to
revise the.report of the Reennstruction Com
mittee, presented the follmiting report :
AF to the reorganization of Presbyteries and fixing their
future boundaries, the Assembly are of the opinion that
this work, if done by the several Synods, will be more
likely to be e ff ected to the satisfaction of all parties con
cerned, than if done by title Assembly. Accordingly
this specific work Is remitted to the Synods as defined
by this Assembly ; and for the purpose of securing uni
formity of action on the part of the Synods throughout
the entire Church, the Assembly recommend that oath
Synod. being convened as hereinafter provided, should
reorganize the Presbyteries existing within its bounds,
infaccordunce with the followihg general principles :
"1. - That each several Presbytery, with the Ministers •
and Churches within ita , lluttts, be defined as to bounds
xiertbp:geographical lines, or with respect te convenient
lints of travel. , .
2, That Presbyteries be enlarged, and the formation of
small ones to be diseoureged; none formed hereafter to
consist of less than five Ministers, the quorum for-busi
ness remaining na heretofore.
3. That in the forrnitthm or arrangement of Presby
teries by the respective Synods it be recommended that
no Pro, by,tery consist of less than tenlninisters, except
in nutlying, frontier and , missionary , districts, and then
bb Constituted as laygoupipossible. , '1

nected, but only so long as such prticular relations
continues, -
G. That mini , itera Withollt, charge urn rootiired to unite
on his way to Canada, and by Thursday next
will be across the border with his army. This
is the information ho gave at the public meet
ing yesterday afternoon. Prior to the public
meeting it seems the Brotherhood held a
private meeting and resolved not to counte
nance the ill-prepared movement eontem plated
by O'Neill. This wassubsequently announced
at the public meeting, which: was cotnposed,
-for the most part, of outsiders who called
themselves friends . of Ireland.
General Starr addressed the meeting. He
said that the army was moving ; that General
O'Neill ordered him to go to the front
with all the men he could take from here,
and the principal object of the meeting was to
collect money to send the men. No time
could be lost, for by Tuesday next the fight
would be a matter of public record.
To this Mr. Fitzgerald replied that he loved
his native land and the destiny of her people
too much to sanction any such outrageous
proceedings under the name of fighting for
Ireland. He warned his hearers that " this
c s ontemplated fiasco " would only end in the
murder of a few good, honest, but deluded
men, who imagine they are fighting for " Irish
liberty." It will bring ruin and eternal
grace, not only on those who are brazy_el_mugh_
-to . enahaTk in the tjufiaofiic underkikUng, but on
the entire Irish race. There was nothing to
recotnniend it to the patriotism or generosity
of Irishmen, but on the contrary, every reason
why it should be both privately and publicly
denounced by every honest and intelligent sou
of Erin. He regretted making those state
ments, but they are facts.that had bettor lie
known in time, ere it be too late. This ,is not
the work of the Fenian Brotherhood, but the
result of a few reckless men, determined to
destroy themselves and fasten more tightly the
tyrant's yoke on millions.
This announcement of Mr. Fitzgerald set
several to serious reflection. Col. Moore said
that it was well-known Mr. Fitzgerald was .

Mr. Morris moved to amend the report by
adding the words: "And for the transautiun of

A debate then arose on the question of con
stituting Synods, Dr. Spear claiming that the
Assembly constituted the Synod by its own

The Low geeerid subject Is that of Bepr,s , •ntatieu ill
the Goneral Assembly, and a proper ratio for the
came.
our Connittee,wrti , i; full awl repeated consideratkn
of this important mud ditlic ult subJect,are of toe upiniqii
that a change to Synodical representation is necessary.,
in order to bring the numbers is the Assembly within
due limits, ano secure equal rights to all parts of Lit
I hutch. But so far as we Mtn discover, the Church
ueperlilly is not yet prepared for such a ; and the
ierimittee desire to avoid all °CC/I:4011 of discord in our
United Church. or needless discussions on this ~ .uhje,t
in this General_ Assembly. Therefore, nu change from
Presbyterial representation is proposed; but only a
change in the ratio and. form or reps enentation, that
the 1301110 great object may be secured, to a good de.
grey.
1. That the ratio of 'representation be eo altered as to
pros Ida for one Commiemoner, a minister or an elder,
rem each Presbytery having twenty ministers, or Mae,
and in y. like proportion ter ally ntunber of ninisters over

2. That wherever the number of month ain any Pres
bytery allows a double delegation it be of Ministers and
Hdere equality.

series entitled to a single Commissioner, r unequal'
number, shall send alternately a MI inter or an
'doer, and it shah be the duty Of the Synods at their
first meetinge to arrange the order In which each Pres

dashes tinny be as nearly equal as possible each year.

font- commissioners be elected from -each
Presbytery containing 40 ministers or less.
Mr. :Adams, of Connecticut, opposed the
whole subject. At the close of Mr. Adatns's
speech the house adjourned until this after-
The following is one of the overtures sub

closing a serious fault which needs speedy and
decided action by the proper court.

ral Assembly, &c.
It having come to the knowledge of the Presbytery
that polygamy exists in at least ono church in connec

Omaha Mission Church, this Presbytery respectfully
memorializes the General Assembly to take such mea

TRAGEDY IN Noitru CAROLINA
!Murder of an Ex-donator.
A despatch from Pelham, North Carolina,
says that one of the most mysterious and ter- ,
rible tragedies that ever occurred in that State
was discovered on Sunday morning. On Sat
urday evening J. W. Stevens, an ex-Senator,
who had that day attended a public meeting
in the town. was missed by his family. Search
was made Saturday night all over the plane,
but without success.. On Sunday morning the
search was resumed, and after looking,
everywhere else the. court-house was
searched. The keys to all the private '
and jury rooms were found except one.
and that room was looked. The door was burst
open, and Mr. Stevens was found, dead,
dangling from a beam, with a rope around his
neck and his clothing saturated with blood. A
deep gash in his breast showed that he had
been stabbed to' t he heart, and another wound
sbewed that the assassin's dagger. had pane':
trated the unfortunate victim's-throat. It is
supposed that he was inveigled into the room
by his assassins on the 'ilea of 'basinesS, and . '
then foully murdered. - No elite tO the perpe- •
trators of the bloody deed has vet been ob. , - ,
