In Ohio an innocent, unsuspecting crow lately fell a martyr to science, in a way de scribed in this statethrt of the Cincinnati Commercial : i` To prevent depredations on the cornfield by the crow, various devices are resorted to. ,On account of the many fatal accidents result ing of late from the careless handling• of fire arms, this wise bird manages not to be fooling around in the vicinity of the muzzle of the guns when they go off. The banging to a pole, planted in the cornfield, of a dead crow, is said to act frequently •as a good warning to living thieves of that race. The principal objections to the plan is the diffienitv of getting a specimen to hang up. A seedy gentleman of straw, arrayed in decayed garments, is often stationed ou guard over the growing crops, and dons well enough for a short time, but the crows are not long in forming his acquaintance and becoming on intimate terms with him. Once, however, I saw a crow badly fooled on the thing. One day, as Professor Hobbs—who is generally adorned with rather mature raiment—was crossing a cornfield, he was suddenly attacked with one of those paralytic strokes of learning on the brain, and as he stood, hat in hand, in the hot• sun, hoar after -hour pursuing a - train- of- thought on some scientific subject, a crow, which had been watching him all the while, finally came to the conclusion that he was a genuine, scare crow, and picking up a dead mouse, which it accidentally came across, described a few ma jestic circles in the air and alighted on Pro fessor's head to eat it (the mouse.) Just then the Professor came to, and clapping his hat on wtth a jerk, started for home. Of course there was something . of a flutter in the region of the learned man's ideas, and the crow be coming.entangled in his wig, was soon on his dissecting-table contributing to science."

Gleason, at the head of 2,000 men, crossed into Canada, near this place, and now occupies a _position four miles beyond the line. He is entrenched strongly,and confident of holding his possision until reinforcements arrive. News has just been received here that after the arrest of Gen. and his incarcera tion in Burlington prison by the U. S. Mar shal, Gen. Foster, Gen. Samuel P. Spear was appointed the commander-in-chief, and pro ceeded at once to - issue his ordersin the-face of Marshal Foster. General. Spear ..will either cross the Cana dian border at some point heretofore not at tempted, or re-enforce Gen. Gleason, now in the enemy's country. His deciuion will be made known before this despatch is read by your earliest readers. This statement is by authority. The privates may or may not he qualified to judge, but they express great dissatisfaction with General O'Neill. Some say that he is too young to plan and too inexperienced to execute, and that b is both practically and theoretically incompetent. A Despatch from . lien.

GLEASON, THE RATTLE OF PIGEON' iffILL. The Feu fano on the Flea. • The number of Fenians engagedin the light yesterday was about 275, led by General o'- Neill, Major Murphy_and Captain Crunan. The Britleh .numbered at the outset only about 65, but they were afterwards reinforced tothe number of - 1,&10, and in their strong,naturally entrenched position the- entire,,_teenian army could not have effected their dislodgement; They were first - titulETr - the co tainainnif - Captains 21,84 Westover and Peter Smith, of Saint Armand, and afterwards of Col. Chamberlain, of the British army. The Burlington and Bridgeport companies of Fenians did the heaviest hinting with their needle-guns and patent breech-loaders, but did no execution, Not. a Red-Coat having fallen. ••.Irtthe - retreat of the Fenian the Burlington company dropped their colors, hut they were gathered up itnmedlately by Capt. Vitzpatrick,of the Bridgeport company, and borne safely within the lines. Aftei the escape of General Donnelly and his command, the _ Wientans Began Falling Back towards this place and Eairfitild, and up to tke prasent hour <midnight) they;are -still-strag gling in. News from the Centre F.rom Malone I learn that the Fenians this afternoon moved ont through Fort Covington, and effected a firm foothold on Canadian soil, entrenching themselves and raising their na tional standard. At Island Pond, in this State, they have also gained a footing. At that place they have cut the Grand Trunk Railway, and last night no trains were allowed to pass. The Howitzer used by the Fenians last evening in their at tempt to rescue General Donnelly and his men was left in the road•where it was situated, and captured by the British, by, whom it was taken to Pi eon Hill, where it is retained as tree y. In connection with the arrest of General O'Neill it may not be improper to state that the life of his captor,Marshal Foster, has been threatened by Fenian officers. Gen. Foster, however, takes the threats not to heart, but thinks he will live through the troubles and enjoy life hereafter. Later. At the council of Fenian officers held at the Tremont House this evening, General Sam Spear was chosen commander of the " Forlorn Hope" or what is left of the "Right Wine of the Army of Liberation." He does not directly accept the command, but it is understood that if further movements are made from here it will be under his immediate direction. O'Neill's Cowardice.' It should be remembered that while the fighting was the sharpeSt, when the bullets were flying the thickest and his command was penetrating the British soil, General O'Neill was safely entrenched iu the upper room of a neighboring brick house, from where he could obtain an excellent view of the exciting scene. This house was owned and occupied by a muscular farmer named Richards, and when he found the Fenian chief in one of his bed rooms, he very peremptorily ordered him to leave the premises. O'Neill was most reluctant to comply with Mr. Richards's request, when the old man with firmness and determination told him that ke would -accelerate. his movements if he hesi tated, and as he. was -about suiting , the action to the word the Feistian chiefgave a partial illustration of discretion being the better part of valor, and showed his presence of mind by a sudden absence of body. The General then took to a piece of woods in the _direction_ . St...Alhans, - - and, having. gone rearwards through the forest for about half a mile. he ventured again on to the highway, taking the course through the yard opposite another farm-house, occupied by a Mr. Vincent. As he was turning around the corner he discovered the presence of General Foster, the United States Marshal; but in stead of turning back he approached the Mar shal and saluted him, anti he was at once taken into custody. There were a large num ber of O'Neill's men in the neighborhood at the timep but he gave no alarm or signs for ' them to come to his rescue, but seemed tobe come a voluntary prisoner. Whether the Gen-, eral did actually or not give himself away to the United States authorities it is impossible to determine ; but his men openly denounce Win not only as a traitor, but an arbitrary ignoramus. Many of his followers, particu larly his staft:ollicers, sacrificed good positions to engage in this promising attack upon Canada, and the shame and indignation at so early and ignominious a defeat causes them to direct the most profane and abusive epithets towards him whom they believe to have been the - cause of their failure..

Mr. Trumbull offered an amendment, to meet the objections made by MeSsrs. Hamlin and Sherman,; providing that the number of - first; - second; ""third and - fourth cla - ss clerks shall not be increased by the provision in question. Agreed to. The amendment, as amended, was then con cnrred'in by—yeas 36, nays 30. 'The amendment appropriating 450.000 to tarry out the provisions of the law of llifil,for the enlargement of the capitol grounds, adopted in the Committee of the Whole, was taken up for concurrence, when Mr. Harlan addressed the Senate against it,' and held that in view of the agitation of the removal of the capital it was unwise to appropriate money for anv such object. Mr. 'Morrill (Vt.) regretted this kind of agi tation, which was damaging to the dignity, _character_and_stability of the Governuaent. In his judgment, it was fixed as fate that Capitol will never be removed. He proceeded to show how unwise and unjust it was to harp upon a subject so absurd. Mr. Yates said it 17213 a great mistake to sup pose the Capital wouldn't be moved. Not a man hereafter could come to Congress from - the West who did not come pledged to the re moval of the Capital. Mr. Tipton said there was no public opinion in the West in favor of removal of the Capi tal, and he never proposed to be the subject of instructions in favor of such a proposi tion. Mr. Stewart said it • aS economy to vote at once for all these improvements in Washington. It was absurd to start this agitation of removal. Leave it to Illinois alone to select a new site. It would take her tew years to do it. If the Capital is ever moved, which he didn't be lieve, it would be more likely to go East than West. Mr. Ross opposed any expenditure to beau tify Washington. Be proceeded to predict that in our day the Capital would be moved. Mr. Flanagan regarded the name of Wash ington as sacred; and while he lived in one of the states on the extreme border, not a corpo ral's guard of his people could be got to vote for the removal of the Car,tal away from this city. Our stars and stripes would, before ninny years, wave over the whole territory of Mexico and Cuba, and the seat of Empire would always remain here. Further debate ensued. Mr. Howard said Washington •bore the name of the Father of his Country, which tilled the heart of every American with a thrill of reverence, and he did not propose to take the National Capital from the city bear ing that- revered name-and give it to the Father of Waters, or - any other lOcality. Mr. Casserly said this was a question of ii mince, and not of the removal of the Capital, and proceeded to address the Senate upon it in that view of it, opposing the appropriation. fll ouna—Continuedfrom Fourth 'Edition.] Mr. Randall, of the. sub-Committee, to whom the case bad.bcen referred,was engaged in consultation with Ml. Brooks and others concerning the ease, when Mr. Cessna put the resolution on its passage, and it was passed, he and about half a dozen others voting aye. He itnmediatelv moved to reconsider that vote and also to 'lay the motion to reconsider ' B on the table, and it was so ordered, no one opposing. Mr. Randall supposing the resolution had simply been ordered to the third reacting, turned to address the House, and was informed that it was - passed. He then moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolution passed. The Speaker informed him that the motion to reconsider was put immediately after the passage of the resolution, and the motion to lay that motion on the table had prevailed, no one dissenting. Mr. Orth asked if there was_any mode of proceedure by which this case could be brought before the House for action.

'The - announcement of a public concert or the Abt Male Singing Society naturally drew a large assemblage to the Musical Fund Hall last evening. The Society consists mainly of amateurs, who have organized under the di rectibn of Mr. A. H. Taylor, and studied and sung together from the purest love of "the art diyine." There were only twenty singers last evening, but the voices were so well balanced, and the training iVas so good, that the effect was delightful. The programme. .was asfollows : - Chores—" Sailor's Song-'', Rotten Double quartet." Rest, Dearest. Rest ' Kucken Solo—" Sperato o Bali Iddio ' .. Verdi Mr. 0. W. Miller. Chorus—" Stars of the Summer Night " Gould, Solo—" Good night, beloved Ballo, Mr. W. A. Briteoe. Trio—•' . Wine, aim" - ete. ''" ' BOW. Chorus-s" Battle Scene "- • 'Fischer. Cantata—" 0 Sons of Art" Mendelssohn, Solo—" Adelaide ''... Beethoven. ~.. . Dr. Thomas, illiartet—" Sweet and lam " ... ... Peter, the Herniit ".. ... Mr. Cochran. iyilintet—" Merry May " Chore;_" Good Night " With so.long a programme it is impossible here to notice each.piece Critically, and a few words may dispose of the solos. Thlt Yerdc aria was well sung by Mr. Miller, whose voice and method are excellent. But the piece is one of the composer's most cm - in:non-place, stagy productions, and was unworthy to ap pear in the programme of an Abt societ The same may be said of the Balfe solo an trio ; while, at the same time, Mr. Briscoe's singing in the solo is entitled to high praise. Dr. Thomas's singing of the Adelaide, was fall of intelligence and feeling. His voice wants volume, but it is-sympathetic and tender, and with Mr. Thunder's excellent accompard _mextt, this may be.said_to have_ been-theAnost satisfactory of the solos. It may be said, too, without disparaging the solo of Mr. Cochran, whose Manly barytone voice and excellent style gave interest to a rather severe and over-dramatic composition of Gounod—over dramatic at least for the concert-room. Of the choruses there was nothing really so pleasing as the arrangement of Longfel low's " Stars of the Summer Night." by our townsman, Mr. J. E. Gould. It has the grace ful flow that a serenade demands, with the ar tistic modulations that are so pleasing to the car, especially from the voices' of men that enter into the spirit of their work and .sing with due regard to light and shade, as the Abt Society did last evening. The piece received a hearty and spontaneous encore, which it well deserved. The Battle Scene, by Fischer, is amuch'more ambitious work, and the So ciety did it full justice.' It is rare to find de scriptive music sv , well adapted to a poem, the English-version of which, by Mr. James N. Beck; is excellent. The Mendelssohn Cantata is a better known work, and the Society sang it most admirably. The quartette by Barnby was sung with precision as well as feeling The quintette by Abt cannot be so well spoken of, for the intonation was not true in alltfie.yoices..,...Thefinal chorus, written for the Society by Abt, is 'pleasing without being novel, but it was very nicely sung. The con cert was, even in spite of the imperfections we have- alluded to, a great , successrand-a.-re , .- petition of it will be welcomed by the public. The Amphion Society's Concert. The Amphion Concert to Carl Sontz is an unusual event among musicians. • Mr." Sentz fully deserves this high compliment from the eminent body of amateurs over which he pre sides as leader. The introduction to our public by Mr. Sontz of the. great Symphonies iof Haydn, Mozart, Beet even, Liszt, Men delssohn, Schubert an others, during his popular seasons of afternoon concerts entitles him to great consideration, for untiring energy and indomitable will were required, in ,con nection with professional ability and judg ment, to overcome the many obstacles in the path of an advanced feeling for art. The Am phion has prepared for to-morrow pvening's concert a popular programme (already printed in this column), and we doubt not that satisfac tion•will be experienced iu this, as in all their former concerts. There will be a strong orchestra, a Harmonie-Clior, and a Male Chorus, thus giving extraordinary variety to the entertainment. Musical Fund Hall, on Friday night next, a grand concert , be given in aid of the Hey; church . St. Charles Borromeo. Among the artists 17liolia,ve given their-ser vices for the OeCaSi.Oltare Miss Caroline CaffreyyMisS--Helen McCaffrey, Miss Susan - Calton Kelleher, iMr. Alfred Kelleher, and others: A progrAinme of a most attractive e,liaractOr hoslanen_prepared, and a concert of more thin 'usual excellenee: may be eXpected.

Earle &Sons haTejust refitted their galleries, No. 816 Chestnut street, with some I resh pfetuves,and opened their small norther& room. A number of new and striking works of art are on exhibition. • Mr. J. J. Eyers lias finished' his large paint ing of dead game, and contributes it to the display. In this admirable picture, on a can vas of 56 by 41 inches, Mr. Eyers has grouped a variety of birdh the central figure being an enormous wild turkey, banging with itk wings expanded, and painted• the size of life. The - rich metallic lustre of it 3 plumage, and a. sort of drooping flatness,as the dead ffesh is pulled downward by its own weight, are the great successes of tlie picture. The feathers hare all, been counted, in this marvel of literal drawing, and the accuracy Ls that of a' topo graphical chart. At the same time the ricli ness of color is in the highest degree artistic. We have not seen so accurate a. - study of American genie. - It is destined fcir - .sl4:'Paterz son, of North Carolina; but before its , re moval out of the State will net some ofs our wealthy connoisseurs command a replica? So noble . a piece of dining-room decoration should sorely be retained, to adorn a banquet ball in the city which rejoices in the best market on the continent.—A' smaller picture, representing dead snipe, also by Mr. Eyers, bangs near the above. It is still more beauti ful,in roundness and feathery quality,tbati the larger subject. Each of these pictures is painted with conscience and power,and repre_ scuts an almost incredible amount of labor._ Mr. Eyers is . an accomplished cosmopolitan gentleman, speaking four languages finently. He was born in the Belgian city of .0 the capital of East Flanders, but has long re sided in America. 5J.311 18 1,734,227 09 1 - ,279:519 0)- 1,455,509 04 Another picture of still-life, width comes its well as a dessert after the above, is by. Kiliae- Ramsey, who is now pursuing his studies Paris. It represents a glass of sparkling:white wine, surrounded by white grapes, peaches, plums, &c. It is painted in a line key oftolor, —the peculiar boon of the atelier BOnnat, in which Mr. - Ramsey is studying,—and is supe rior to the most popular German fruit pieces in this quality. The painting in question has been presented to Rev. Mr. Herrick Johnson, by a wealthy member of his con,gregation,aruk will doubtless be highly appreciated: — A portrait head by Mr. S. B.

Another.represents cattle reposing; and: a third, Called "A Day of Best," is ooriceived in the true feeling of a country Sabbath..

Alexander H. St43phens's Rook Tbo New York Times says #ct The second volume of Mr: Stephens's book has just been printed, and, like the first, it bears many traces of having been composed in the spirit we have described. An interest ing illustration of this is to be found'iu his treatment of General ''Grant. Most Southern writers on the war have appeared to think it expedient to deal with the conqueror of Rich mond as Sir Walter Scott did with Napoleon 1. • not so, Mr. Stephens. Thepassage that follows, descriptive of his first interview with Gen. Grant, will be accepted as unequivocal evidence of this distinction I was never so much disappointed in my life, in my previously formed opinions, of either the personal appearance or bearings of any one, about whom I hattread and heard so much. The disappointment, moreover, was in every respect favorable and agreeable. I was instantly strtick with the great simplicity and -perfect-naturalness • of-las- manners-and--the entire absence of ovorythinglike affeetation, show, or even.the usual military air or mien of men in his position. He was plainly attired., sittilig in a log cabin, busily writing on a small table, by a kerosene lamp. It was night -when we arrived. There was nothing iu his appear ance or surroundings which indicated his offi cial rank. There were neitherguards nor aids about him. Upon Col-Babcoek's rapping at his door, the response Come in,' was given by himself, in a tone of voice, and with a. cadence which I can never forget. His con., versation was easy and _fluent, without this, least often or restraint. In this, nothing was so closely noticed by me as the point .ami terseness with which , he expressed whateyer he said. He did not seem either to court or avoid, conversation, but whenever ho did speak, what he said was directly to the point and covered the whole matter in a few words. 1 saw before being with hiM long that be was exceedingly quick in perceptitin and direct in purpose, with a vast deal more of braLus than tongue,as ready as that was at his coratnand.'! The opinions of individuals respecting pub lic mon are commonly of little moment ; lint such an opinion from such a sourco has weight in more respects than one. It is important as . the estimate of'a great historical figure made by a man capable of doingjustice-to ipolitioal opponents ; and it is valuable as promoting re conciliation between the late contending see ti onsj in a w degree whlch_the el mud in either section Rill best appreciate. —At a mine in the Hartz Mountains. it was 'found necessary to connect tw6tunnelssixty l five feet apart.
