Al. bans---Wiest Boston Irishmen 'Chink of the Inovenient. • Boszow, May n---A Boston gentleman who ate supper with Gen. O'Neill on Thursday evening, and wbo has since returned to his home, gives that officer's version of his arrest. Gen. O'Neill said that the plan was to. have advanced from Franklin on Monday night. He bad been promised that 1,200 men' from Boston and its-vicinity and 400 or 500 Ver monters should be'at St. Albans that nlght,and ho had provided arms, ammunition and trans portation, for them. To his surprise the only force which came was the Burlington company of e 0 men. The full force had been enlisted,bub their officers were tardy or treacherous, and he found himself unsupported. He denies that his arrest was in accordance with an arrange ment with the'United States Marshal,and says that all the menhad. inatructions not to resist the United States authorities under any cir cum.stanceli, and that in obedience to these orders they would not have helped him had he tried to avoid arrest. He believed that had he been properly supported there-would have been severe lighting, and this seems to be about all he had hoped as the result of the expedition. On the other band, a Fenian officer at the front writes as follows : " For our first defeat we hare only to. thank General O'Neill, who, if pot a traitor, has, at .letist, acted in a very singular manner.during the preeent morement. Ilia bad se and willful neglect of his men should subject him to the cenanre of those who have sunk all self-interest in this movement, and have worked solely for its success. lie not only willfully exposed his men to the fire of the Canadian troops, with no hope of the success of the farce at bin command, but knowingly allowed himself to he taken prisoner without an effort to evcape, whoa a single word from him to his men, who Nk ere close at2mud, would have been sufficient to hare defeated any such attempt on the part of the United litatesidarshol.'? - JAMES GI BROSS'S PBOCLA.3IATION The Disaster •In Canada- - the : Retain. of O'Neill's Usurpation—The Coneen _ t rail ounf-1 rish-P-atriotitim-Demanded- The Canadian Ex pedi 'fon Vnatithor. and'a Future Deliverance. ticyrn 'OFFICE FENIAN -BROTHERHOOD, -HAY CHESTNUT STRE.E i r, PHILADELPHIA, May 1R 0 —To th , iw , mb , ?rs of the Fenian Brother ' 60d, owl the Of jri,h :freedom .

The mem bers of the organization are, therefore,required to comply with the provisions of the Coustitti• tion, and place their circles forthwith in direct communition with the central office of the Brotherhood. Measures have been taken to secure, as far as possible, the property of the organization from loss or destruction, and the results, as 80011 as ascertained, will be commu nicated officially. In the meantime the members of the Fenian Brotherhood should bear in mind that as the attempt of Gen. O'Neill upon the Canadian territory was undertaken against the authority of the Brotherhood, its failure cannot be re cognized as a defeat. of the national organiza tion, and that the efforts which England has been compelled to put forth to meet this at tack—ill-timed and ill-advised as it was—only showed how mucti she would have to dread from a combined and well-matured movement of the Irish people under competent military leaders. The mis conduct of a few irresponsible men may have postponed for a short period the (lay of Ireland's deliverance; but the sacred duty -- of - accomplishing - that deliverance - can never be ignored by our People ; it shall not now be abandoned even for a day by those who have put their bands, to the work; and the events of the past few months prove conclu sively that neither knavery nor statecraft can avail to prevent the advent nettle glorious day of Irish independence. ;FAMES GIBISONS, Chairman Executive Council, F.

Some of the sufferings which the poor inhabi tants had to endure are painful to contemplate. One poor woman who had passed through the' pains of child-birth but a few hours before the tire had reached her domicil, was removed, with the new-born infant, by the husband to a 7-okamp, where she passed the night alone, :Is the husband bad returned to the house to save sonic of his wearing ap parel, but found in' the meantime that the fire had cut off the communication with the swamp where his wife sought shelter.

For this rea son a royal commission is out of the question, but the Convocation of Canterbury has re , solved to undertake the work, and ask the aid of all religious denominations throughout the - English-speaking world. The Dean of Canterbury wished to include the Jews also, so far as the Old Testament is con cerned.

Wenderotles is- a careful, honest, discriminating portrayal, as true as truth. • Such a record,if our publie were fully aware of its significance—if the painting and the artist had - not always been somewhat shrink ing and reserved—would be fastened to one or ,other of our public walls - ,by the mere over whelining force of popular opinion. If the surviving soldiers of Gettysburg—who, honest fellows! cared more about,doing their. work thoroughly than they care about the- - nom-, membration of it—could be led up before the --picture- -on -- sacred - day, how it would , warm their proud hearts ! And how, remembering the lost comrades, whose hereic fall is so faithfully portrayed by the artist, they would begin to pass around the faded caps, and make a gallant struggle to se cure it, for a kind of monument to their dead! Since the Union League's scheme of purchas ing it-has transpired, more than one journal has warmly seconded the movement. The Telegroph calls the picture " one of the best representations of an actual battle-field - ever painted," and observes that it will compare favorably with the best European worke of its class, "as a vivid delineation of a battle, as 'battles -are-foughtin-modenytimes:—Forthis reason, if for no other (continues the Tele; groph), the picture should be kept in Philadel phia, and there is no more appropriate place for it than the gallery of the Union League." The Press alludes to " Mr. Wenderoth's mag • 'ccirt-paisatingia-as-tire-tt-pieture-commerno rating so admirably-and grandly the most im portant battle of the was ;" and hopes - it will not " be consigned to the obscurity of a pri vate dwelling. The picture (adds. the Prow) would certainly be a great acqusition to the Leagtie, a most valuable accession to the col . lection already--in- its possession." We-will-- now-append-a description of some minuteness, iu older that our loyal public may conceive of the historic work contemplated for their -principal loyal Hail: The Painting measures eight feet in length by six- in height. lt represents Gen Meade, - on the second afternoon of the..battle of Get tysburg, directing the repulse of the rebels, a etachmentom,_under_Rwell . • - • - tleavoring to break his right centre. Surrounded by his mounted staff, he occupies an,, eminence 01 Cemetery Ridge Just' west of Cillp's Hill, toward whieli the rebel assault is directed. The -ground- of action lies- before the .spectator with an outlook to the North, 'like a-map, - an arrangement conducive to a, elear•understanding of its topography. •In the; uistance at the centre lies the town, to the left. .Gettysburg Cemetery,. recognized by its large gateway and the scattered monuments. The officers grouped Ohl the bill are as fol lows, in order; On um 10'1, 1 Barstow reporting to 'General Meade from the direction of Sickles's position. To the right of Meade,— Starr, ,Piekerson, 'Cadwallader; Biddle and - . Carpenter. The group, is taken, with a few artistic • modifications„ from a photograph by Mr. Wetideroth, for which the officers' cour teously-lila on' horseback' shortly after the close - of-the war-and allowedthemselves to be taken together.

Attendin the Commander are some orderlies (one oi *herd is falling off his liorkt from a stidde shot), a color-bearer,and a bugler (for signals the latter struggling with a restive horse. To the left, Cemetery Hill is seen covere • with the rebels, charging at quick-step, wit the puflk of smoke from their muskets, and with their thickly-falling bodies. All who have seen a battle will recognize the aspect of this slope, with its wisps of smoke and ac -tivo-figures-diminished-by-distanee. -A -line of rebel sharp-shouters, partially protected by a stone fence, harrasses our artillerymen. To remove this annoyance, a company of Pennsylvania volunteers, occupying the left foreground, are charging down the slope. The colonel, on horseback, waves his sword as he leads the sortie. The men wear on their caps a star-shaped Cadge; some, who have lost their badges, have improvised imitations 'cut in hard-tack. All the details, of a forced call from Harper :s Ferry or a similar distance, are seen in their persons and equipments. Having marched all night uitillone duty all day, their enthusiasm is tempered by fatigue. Their faces shine with the sweat of July, and thOr dirty boots drag on the ground as-tbeymib--)Forgetting‘their-weariness, they the gaily-streaming, yet tattered'ecilors. some have thrown aside the knapsack and blanket, carrying only the empty and thread bare haversack, with the inevitable tin-cup and canteen. In the extreme angle of the pic ture a heavily-loaded soldier has fallen dead, clutching the ground, and losing his cap, which flies off, rolling with the shock. Beside him, a young private has just received a hall. He waves for assistance, not his cap, but a tattered straw hat, jocularly snatched from the head of some gaping farmer's boy ()tithe route. His comrade, likewise in civil head-gear, turns his head as he marches hastily on, with a -momentary pang of regret. The arrested evement of Chi fins is •• • .- like. Bringing up the rear we see a group of three ; one has been shot, full in the breast; hiS hat has spun Swiftly to the ground with-the, concussion, raising a spiral of dust. His bands flying open, release the intisket,which is about plunging into the ground on its bayonet. A fellow-soldier, who has lost his own bayonet, presses up behind, instinctively putting' out his hand to support the falling man ; the third in the group is the tiro mmer-bov;•who accom panies this little tragedy with. his •uninter rupted music, only turning his. head as the soldier sinks.
