Gen. O'Neill's Version of Ilis Arrest--
Letter from a fenioutnineer at ht. 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.'? -

teaches that'all the evils from which it has suf
fered, antl,the lostleSthereby:entaijed upon the'
cause of Ireland, have flowed from departure,.
from this principle and from resistance to the
laws which the people themselveS had (made
for their government. To, remedy. these eviLs
and obviate the danger of their repetition, an
immediate return to that principle of obedi
ence anti discipline, in which alone safety can
be found, is absolutely necessary. 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.

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.
Another man,--fintling--- escape-impossible,
mited into his well, whore lie passed the
whole night and part of the follocting day,
while the fire swept over his head. Even here
the heat at times became so intense that he
was compelled occasionally to slip below the
surface of the water to avoid being scorched.
A number of families sought shelter on the
lake shore, but were compelled to wade into
it over the waist, as the:fire in its ravages had
ournt up everything down to the very edge
the water.
The London correspondent of the New
York Times says :
Tber Convocation of Yorke refuses to - join
with that of Canterbury iu bringing about a
revision of the English Bible. 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. Therefore, every one who has an
amendinent to propose should send it to the
Archbishop of Canterbury, post-paid. 'The
present version was a long time in prepara
tion, and after it W•as published it was a full
half century before it, came into general use.

the 'violent opposition of men like Lord
Shaftesbury to any change. It is said that
an adeqtiate revision would on an average
change one word in every verse of the New
Testament ; and many whole verses, and
some that are considered very important ones,
would be left out altogether. Still, as thaw I
can see, the errors are not so important as
many suppose, and the interpolations are, in
nine - cases in ten, merely explanatory, and
many Lave been first introduced as, marginal
notes, and afterward carelessly embodied in
the text., But in a rapidly-changing language
every tianidation requires frequeut ,revision..

ATHLETIC BAHR BALL. GROUND, PHILA
DELPHIA, May 30.—The crowd of spectators
. prasent and arriving to witness the game be
tween the Atlantics and Athletics, promises,
to be the largest that has assembled this
season. The•wet weather of the past few
days has rendered the condition of the ground
very soggy. The interest felt in this contest is
very great, and the betting is lively on' both
clubs.
• It is generally believed that the odds are in
favor of the Atlanties, or at least 'their New
York friends are very confident. and many
heavy wagers have been made with odds in
their favor.
Thos. Severns, Esq., of the Keystone, was
selected for umpire.

REVISION OF THE BIBLE
The Proposed Work in England
Tim FINE ARTS.
A Worthy Decoration for "Decoration
Duro" to Come.
The dawning of Commemoration Day lends
an additional interest to all intelligent efforts
to commemorate the episodes of the war. The
turning action of the rebellion, that of Gettys
burg, has received the best attention of two
artists, Rothermel and Wenderoth. .Rother
mel's great picture, for Harrisburg, is nearly
finished, and we shall in a short time have the
pleasure of laying a synopsis of it before our
readers. 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

taken together. The spirited drawing and

battle. The bill was defended by ten gun-,
and. h e figures of the artillerymen - can' beseen
under the bodies of the horses. Behind th •
horses of Meade and _Barstow our char
shooters are seen picking off the chargin
rebels. One of tiff-Vet-fuer falls wounded i •
mediately behind Barstow's horse. 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.
Over this group, in the middle distance, a
couple of rebel prisoners are being brought

is seen 'a wounded artilleryman; supporting
his head, which is bandaged fora forehead

basjust strength to support the weapon be

captain, . stands next him, , atelect
ing bandages and lint from a box
of doctor's 'stores. To the ' left; and
near the centre, a young doctor holds the -
of the patient for whops these applications are
intended. Half supported by the holly of a
dead comrade, an artillerii3t, in the prime of

It is a particular merit of this picture' that
the faces and types are all realisticand literal,
which quality, combined • with the extraordi

impression of reality, as if an instantaaeona
