THE WILD IRISH. THE .FIGHT YESTERDAY Later and Fuller Details Three Fenian Killed and Several Wounded ON THE FENIAN BATTLEF,IELD, NEAR COOK'S CORNERS, ST. ARMAND, C. E., May 25, 10 P. M.—The onward march from St. .Albans was commenced in column of fours, General O'Neill, mounted on a small red horse, placing himself in front, flanked by a body-guard of four men on foot on each side. Their countenances wore a serious aspect, although there were a few who laughed and joked as they passed along. Still it was evident that even they realized the danger 'of their mission. Slowly and sadly moved the two hundred, following the highway until within twenty rods of the line, General O'Neill espied the red coats of the Canadian volunteers and ordered a halt. -This-was-eflected-bide-atrold-brick-honse-orr the left side of the road and on the side of a i.parisely wooded hill. Farther along on the road at a distance of fifty feet were two barns facing each other and flanked on both sides by a stone wall. A long pile of hemlock bark stretched itself along, Just opposite the house, and served as a convenient ambush for the attacking Fenians. Beyond the barns above spoken of the road passes across a bridge and is entirely unpro tected. The position can perhaps be under , rood by comparing it to the arc of a circle, placing the Fenian soldiers at the bottom and the Canadians at the top of the curve.. Addresses to trio Hills. After the bait Gen. O'Neill faced - a.bout on its horse and addressed his countrymen as flows : ,soldiers—This is the advance guard of the Irit•h-American army for, the liberation Of Ireland from the yoke of the oppressor. For our own country you now enter that of the enemy. The eyes of your countrymen are upon you. Forward, march ! Colonel Brown, who commanded the skirni. to the men. The advance company was - from — I turlington, andvas commanded by Captain William Cronan, of that city. At the conclu -ion of General O'Neill's address he lifted his hat and replied _ - General— am proTid - that - VertrYcifit ha - sthe honor of leading this advance. Irelanll may depend upon us to pur duty. The right. Until this time the main body of the Fenian forces bad been hidden from the vie* of the other side, hut as they slowly defiled past the• dividing line between the-two-countritheir numbers and extent became visible. The volunteers waited until the last of their an tagonists had set foot on British soil ? and_ then crack, crack, crack,-came- volley-atter- volley of niiieketry,into their ranks. The-battle—had— begun. do unex.pected was this attack that the Fenians became panic-stricken and scat tered like wildfire behind - the walls and fences and nto the barns, behind .the bark pile, and 'anywhere that shelter conld - be - obtained from din_eath-dealing missiles that were beng showered upon them. The Casualties. Two men—John Rowe, of Burlington, and . another whose name I have _been unable to at,cerfaiii--Ildroppeddelifi diffirigthis discharge ;and were-left upon the field. Lieut. Edward Hope, of Bridgeport, was hot through the thigh, and the' Captain of a Long Island company sustainedn flesh wound in his arm. Several minor casualties were bittained. Gen. O'Neill Wants to Die Gen. O'Neill,whobad been concealed behind the house,rushed forth with drawn sword and shouted to his scattering soldiers. Gaining an audience be said : 3Je,, of Inland : lam ashamed of you. You ave_acted._ disgracefully_;_but_you_bave_a t - other , chance of showing whether you are cravens or not. Comrade», I will. lead you again, and if you will not follow, me I will go with my officers and die in your front. I Icave you now under command of Boyle and Skirmishing was then recommenced, and continued for about one hour whenGen.O'Neill drew back his forces from the ' brow of the hill for the purpose of rest. He was then approached by several of his t dicers, who requested permission to charge the bill, but. bearing in mind the unlucky re , ult of a similar operation at Fredericksburg during the rebellion, he refused. Yielding partially, however, to their wishes,he ordered them to charge across the open valley, and take a position on the wooded hill directly op posite the Canadian forces. The movement was executed in double quick, but while climbing the hill private Thos. Murray, of Poitland, Me., fell shot through the heart,and Francis Caraher ? of Bridgeport, Conn., re ceived a wound in thegroin. Murray lies now on the bill-side, but Caraher was conveyed to Ihe Franklin House in Franklin, where he cow lies in a 'room opposite to that of Lieu tenant Hope, his townsman and fellow suf, ferer. The Arrest,. Te General, in company with Boyle O'Reilly walked down the side of the hill and entered the parlor of the brick house, en countering General George Foster, who, with his deputy Thomas Farley, of St. Albans, was seated in the parlor. Re reached out his hand, hut the greeting was refused, and General Foster, placing his hand onO'Neill's shoulder, said " I arrest you, by virtue of my authority its a District Marshal ofhhe United States.". " Sir," . exclaimed General O'Neill, starting back as ho spoke,'" I shall resist your arrest." "It will be useless, sir," replied General Foster. " But, sir, I am armed." "So am I," Said.the General. "John, open that carriage door. Now, Mr. O'Neill, get in, or I will throw you in. I am going to take you'to St. Albans, right through the midst of your men, and if you make theslightest outcry T will shoot you dead." Resistance was useless, as the General had aid, and O'Neill placed himself in the car riage and was driven to St. Albans. " In Durance Vile. An hour later he was taken before the - United States Commissioner, Jacob M. Smalley, on a charge of violation of the neu trality laws, aud, in default of $20,000 bail, was lodged in jail at Burlington. . :Attlu3 Frout. The fighting after this arrest, with the ex , ception of an occasional shot or two, was not renewed. • Some of the Fenians took up their homeward march, but the great majority re turned suddenly to their eld camping ground, where they were joined by 150 recruits, who had just arrived under the command of ajor Moore, of New York 2 and now assert their in tention to renew their attack in the Morning. Notes. and Comdkents A battalion- Of forty-four soldiers . from the Fifth United States Infantry, at Plattsburg, arrived to-night, and are bivouacked in front. of the "Weldon Bowie. Another detachthent will arrive to-morrow, and 'the - whcile will be placed under command of General Arnold. . The track of the PlattsbUrg and Montreal Railroad has been torn up for some' distance on both sides of the boundary line, so that the running of trains has been suspended iu that . direction for the present. ...The (lethal number of Fenians that have passed over the Vero:tent ()antral , and Vormol.4 , , THURBDAY, MAY 26, 1870. and Canada roads up to this morning is va: riow 1y e.tiinated at from 600 to 800. The little steamer CurfV - Iffrided two companies of _th organized Fenian troops at St. Albans bay yesterday, who at once proceeded north to Swanton. Four companies of infantry and one of cavalry are concentrated at St. Armand. The latter, however, are destitute of horses. A member of the Masonville company at that place deserted, but was subsequently captured, though not till after ho had been wounded by a shot fired by one of his pursuers. One of the soldiers, on his arrival at St. Armand, was heard to say: " Weil, here we are at last ; but if the Fenians come we will run like the devil. I know I shall." This indicates the quality of the courage possessed by the volunteers. Foal Play on Board a Sloop—A. Singular 4 ace---7 he huspeeted Murderer Meld for 7 rind. qq Superintendent Jourdan, ofj, ew York, yes terday morning received a ter from Mr. E. J. Dougherty,. -Chief of Police of 'Wilmington, Del., setting forth that he bad in custody one - PeTet - PeTersen, a fermerresidant oT who had come into port in possession of the sloop Achilles, of New York, a small craft of five tons burden. There AVM no other per. son on board the sloop at the time: His posses sion Of the sloop and being flush with money attracted the . attention of the police, and be was accordingly arrested. On being quesr 'doped Petersen stated that the sloqp had been purchased by'Captain Herman Wardruan and himself from one Theodore Hardy, a Danish stevedore, working . at or near the Atlantic docks, Brooklyn, and that they left New York three weeks ago, and when off Great Egg Harbor, on the Jersey coast, Wardman was struck by the boom of the sloop and was 4brown overboard 'and was drowned. That they had intended to buy junk along the coast, but after the captain was lost overboard he (Petersen) went oystering. The papers of the sloop were made out in the sole name of Ward man. Chief Dougherty became impressed with the idea that he had eithei stolen the sloop or bad sailed in company. with Wardman, and had murdered him during the voyage. De tective Bennett, uf the Central office, was de -1 •' • . k — u tre - case. A . e - i - n - CliteT Dougherty's communication, Peter sen had lived at 54 West street, a sailors' boarding-house, kept by Christian Lieber; the detective had visited that place, and found -that both the men Were - well-known there. - Warilinan was repreSented as a quiet, inof- . whiles Petersen. was said- to_be-a , man of entirely opposite character. It was also learned that the sloop Achilles bad been purchased by Wardma,n from the widow of Henry Hardy, and Peter Hardy, her btother=in-law, for... . -and that -it---had-- been purchased by him solely, and paid for with his "own ,money. The detective also learned that. Pe tersen settled his bill at Lieber's on the 17th of_ _Mr ay,_at.which. tirue. be• stated- -that -Ward man-had-sold-titer-al op fur $llO, and that,.-he Petersen) was going to the Lakes or tti l u lls home in Wilmington. He then left. and was not again seen. This. information - , obtaiiWd by the detective, was embodied in a letter which was promptly despatched to Chief Dougherty at Wilmington, yesterday after noon, by Superintendent Jourdan. Petersen hill be held for examination by 'the - United States authorities, and will have a great deal of ilitticulty in explaining the suspicions cir with-slit-noes with which lie is surrounded.— Heivict. Marvelous Eveape from a Height of Seventy-Five Feet. At the great fire in St. Paul last Thursday, two brothers,named Carl and August Mueller, who bad a room in Concert Hall building, were cut off from escape by the rapid progress of the lames and smoke. They appeared at an upper story window, seventy-five or eighty feet from the ground. The St.. Paul 1 - Frneer - sayh "The two brothers appeared to heSitate, when they appeared at the window, and some of the.spectators cried out to them to jump. The youngest was let out of the window first, the oldest brother holding him by the hand, troth being apparently unwilling to part com pany in that trying moment. Finally the sus ];ended man was drawn hack into the build ing, as though determined to remain instead of taking the horrible risk of such a dreadful ap.

ST ALBANS, May 2B.—The Fenian bubble, as far as the movement in this direction is concerned, has burst. Soon after the arrest of General O'Neill the Fenian officers held a long council of war and decided that it was useless for them with the small number of Wren at their command to make any further attempts at invading Canadian soil. The roads leading from here to Franklin are lined with returning Femans. There is not a Fenian now in Franklin. Guns, ammunition and blankets are scattered about in . great abundance. The rank and tile complain bit terly of their officers, saying that they don't understand their business. IThe point chosen for crossing was a most Unfavorable one, as the enemy were entrenched behind rocks. Half a mile distant there was an open field. An aide of Gen. O'Neill says a thousand men could not have driven the Canadians from their position. The Feniaus for the most part became sadly demoralized. At the first volley of Canadian musketry three Fonians were. limed and ten or fifteen wounded. It is not known whether there was any Ca nadians loss. • Gen. Donnelly; in attempting to escape from Riehard•S house, was wounded in the leg, but not seriously. He was expected in St. Albans to-day. [By the Anierienn Preen A esociationj BIA.S.SAC.IIUNEIrII4.
