A MARTYR TO SCIENCE.
The Crow of the Period.
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."

Two Thousand Fenian Strongly En
trenched in Canadian Territory—The
POSIIIOO to be Held Until itelotoree
metals Arrive—intended Movement of
lien. Spear.
MALONL May N.—Gen. 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.

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..

SENATE—Continued from the World!' Edition.
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

brought before the House for action. The

MIISICAL.
Concert of the Abt Mule Singing S.
'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.

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.

PRIGE TIT RES OE
Nessra. 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.

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: —

GRANT AND 'STEPHENS.
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
