Free Press, of Jr& 22.] The Fenian Gen. Donally, in Ins remarks at the reunion of the 2d Regiment, on Friday, evening, made the first official statement, so far as we are aware, 'of the plan df the late Fenian raid on Canada. It wassio brief, to cross the Canada line at Franklin with 1;500 men on Tuesday, to occupy a position, hold it on the defensive, compelling the Canadians to attack them-or. leave them uninolested ;in the meantime, tO march a-force, to '.the rail road, • Betzp a train, , and surprise St. 'Johns by ~ railrbad. Same, operation - u was to - have . been undertaken from Derby, and General Donally expressed his convictions that if their men had been on band they should certainly have taken St. Johns, and Richmond on the Grand Trunk.' -With so much of success to start with, he believed the entire body of Irish .Americans able to bear arms would haVe 'rushed to rein force them, and they would have taken Canada! The scheme failed, in his opinion, because, instead of 1,500 men, less than 100 were on hand-at the time set for the invasion. The attack on Eccles Hill; hi 6 said, failed ' ` because the men behaved badly. At the time be attributed this to cowardice ; but, on re:. flection, had come, to the conclusion ; that the men were disheartenSd by the fewness of their numbers and by the thought if captured they would probably by hung, and that their motiv was the natural .instinct of self-protection.' General Donally also undertook to answer the common objection brought against the Fenian operations on Canada, that they Gould not help the cause of Ireland.' He owned iri effect that they could not. He said that the Canadian' people bad done the Irish no wrong. ThO invasion, he said, was, not intended to in jure the Canadians.-- .It-wfts -a - Simple - attack against, British power. With that powerhe declared that ho and other Irishmen had alife long score to settle, and that they had simply undertaken to strike it at the nearest accessib,le • SPECIAL NOTICES.

" We thus speak be.dause, upon reading a despatch from Cuba giving account of another feat performed by the' volunteers, the blood leaps in our :veins, indignation touches the extreme limit,' and 'shame covers our front. And wherefore not? Who can put on.enough serenity to calmly read this : 'Such an one has been garroted in the presence of 60,000 per-. sons? ) .

P!t!4l l 2' DICKENS MEMORANDA Anecdotes and Gossip About the Great No yellst. The Ettlish papers brought by the Scotia are lull of articles suggested by the death of Charles Dickens. We make the following ex tracts : Dickens as an Actor. ," Some of his dearest and closest friends were actors, and from the time of Mr. Ma creeds. to that of Mr. Pechter, his, chosen inti mates included many of the chief lights of the . British stage. As an amateur actor he him self was unsurpassed and unsurpassable. Those who remember the performances on behalf of the 'UMW of Literature and Art; those given ,privately at k ravistock House about wdozen years ago ; and those held on behalf .of'the Douglas' Jerrold Memorial Fund;know that the dramatic readings which took the world by storm of late years were the ripened fruit of a longanctintensie admiration for and •leaning to the stager' " The most, powerful, and the most painful of Mr.Dickens'aimpersonatione'Fagin,' the . Bill Sikes,' the murderer, and his vie w:ll—had their germ in the delineation-of the lighthouse-keeper, in the drama Written by Mr. Wilkie Collins, expressly for his friend; and some of the most competent judges have declared that the English stage lost .an orna ment, which would have revived its brightest days, by Charles. Dickens succeeding as an author and making literature his profession. But Mr.• Dickens's earnestness was each that, he not only took upon his own shouldere..the, most: arduous tasks connected with- the , ama tear performanCes for charitable objects with which- he . = so often associated himself, but superintended - the - minuWst - deffill, and often worked with his own hands to insure what he held to be the necessary effect. The Last Book Unfinished. Concerning his recent novel, and et_ habits -of - compositioli;Ss *ell as liiii - invetition of names, a Writer in , the ,:yeies says ‘• The Mystery of Edwin `brood,' we are told, gave its author more trouble than any of his 'formee.works. He. complained of this, perhaps with a sad presage_of-the-- truth. He, had, he thought, told too much of the story in the early numbers, and his thoughts did not' flow so freely as of yore. It will remain in complete forever, and the fourth of the - . story already given' to the public, and another part in manuscript; are all that will be knoWn of the last set of original characters their att.; thor has introduced tethe, world. When Mr.DickenscOMpLainedofhis work giving him trouble; we may be sure that the cause prompting the remark - Was not - slight; for no writer Het_ beforq himself more labori ously the task of giving the public his very, best. - A' great artist, who once painted_ his portrait while be was in the act of writing one of the most popular of his stories, relates ; that he was- astonished at - the trouble Dickens Seemed to take over his work, at, the mutiber -of forms in- which-he would"wfite-dowia thooeht before he hit out the one which seemed to his fastidious fancy the bestpand at the comparative smallness of the amount of _manusixript-eaeh-day's-sttthyg-Seimaed to have produced. Those, too, who have seen the on manuscript of-Ins works, many of which Le had bound and kept at his residence at Gad's Hill, dese.ribe them as full of interlinea bons and alterations ; while it is well known shat-the: quaint surzratn. of his characters, coneeriaing which essays have been written, were the result of much painstaking. " Dickens, trust i ng enius Which might have justitied his it implicitly and solely, placed his - chief reliance on his own hard labor. It is said that when he saw a strange or odd name on a shop board, or in walking through a village or country town, he entered it in his pocket-book, and added it to his '-reserve list 'l'llen, , runs the story, when he wanted a strik ing surname for a - „new character, he had but to take the first half of one real name, and to add itto the second half of a,nother,to produce the exact effect upon eye and ear of the reader he desired." A Hymn by Dickens. To the writer in the News we are also in debted fora fact relating to the "Pictures from Italy, "and for a, hymn, both of which will be new to the majority of readers : " Some of our readers may not' be aware that the 'Pictures from Italy.' which are now in all editions of Charles Dickens's works, Were originally contributed to this newspa per, and that its early numbers were brought out under his editorship: In the first number of this joumal, in the Daily V. of January' 21, IR4ti, appeared No.l of Traveling Let ters,' written on the Road, by Charhis Dickens.' In the Daily News of Febniary,l4; of the sanie year, Mr. Dickens wrote the fol lowing verses--which will be new to many— elicited by a speech at one of the night meet ings - of ' the wives of' agricultural laborers in - Wiltshire, held to petition for free trade The Hymn at the Wiltshire Laborers. " '.Dop ou all think that we ha.ve a reat need o cr y tyo our.

"The God, who &mit a little child And; et lath in the midst, And promised him His mercy mild, As, by Thy Son, Thou didst : Look down upon our children dear, So gaunt, go cold, so spare, And` let their hies appear Where Lords a d G entry are! " Oh God, teach them to feel how we; When our poor infants droop, Are Weakeneol in our trust in Thee, , And how our spirits stoop : ror, in Thy rest, so bright and fair, All tears and sorrow sleep And their young looks, so full of care, Would make l'hire angels weep! " The God, who with His finger drew. The Judgment coming on, Write for these men, what - must ensue, Ere many years be gone! Oh God, whose bow is in the sky, Let them not brave and dare, Until they look (too late) on'high. And see an Arrow there! "Oh God, remind them!

He gave them Bread to eat, And went from door to door." • Dickens's Personal Habits. L A writer in the Daily Tilegraph, in referrtrig to the familiarity of, ail classes of people -- with the person of ensiles Dickens, thus writes of his habits of pedestrianism: ", The towering stature, the snowy 10010,3, the glistening spectacles, - the—listless , slouching port; as that of tired giant, of William Make, peace Tbadlieray, were familiar enough like wise in London•a few years=-since, but, corn ' paratively speaking,onlYto a select few. - belonged to Club-land, and was only to be seen sauntering there or in. West End Squares, or on his road to bis beloved Kensington, or in the antique hall at Ch.arterhonse on Found ;ern' day, or on Eaton bridge on the fourth of :June, or sothetimes, haply, on the top of a Bichniond omnibus journeying to a brief fur loogh at Hose Cottage. Tbackeray in Hounds ditch, Thackeray in Bethnal Green or at Carndeh Town, woulsi(have appeared anomal ous,'; as well could we picture Carlyle at Cremorne or Tennyson at Garraway's ; but. Charles Dickens, when in town, was übiquit ous. "He was to be met. by those who knew him, everywhere.--and who did not know him? Who haci , not heardliim, and who had not seen his photograph in the shop windows? The omnibus conductors knew him, the street bays knew bim; and, perhaps the locality Where his recognition would have been least frequent---for all that he was a member of the ,Athenaturn Club—was Pall Mall. Elsewhere he would turn up in the oddest pi es, and in the most inclement of , weather; in Ratan' Highway, on Haverstock-hill; - on Camberwell green, in Gray's Inn-lane, in the Wandsworth road, at Hammersmith. Eeroadway, in Norton 'Folgate, and at,Hensal New Town. A ban som _whirled you by the Bell and Horns at Broropton, and ' there was Charles Dickens striding as with seven-leagueed boots -in the direction , of North End, Fulham. The Metropolitan. Railway. sent you forth at Lisson Grove, and you met Charles Dickens plodding speedily. ',award the Yorkshire Stingo. Ile was to be met rapidly . striding the grim brick wall of the - prison in Coldbath' Fields, cir trudging along the Seven Sisters road at Holloway, or bearing under a steady press of sail, underneath Highgate Arch Way, or pursuing the even tenor of his way up Vauxhall Bridge road. He seemed to. prefer the - lengthy-thoroughfares of our exterior boulevards to narrow and , intricate - , streets, 'They offerel, perhaps, a better opportunity - for-iair-and honest walking; thii—per formance of that self-appointed task of pedes trianism which' for so many years be had undertaken, and • which well-nigh undevi aUngly, and wherever he was—in London, at home atGadshill;-in France, in Italy, or in ,America—lie performed to its .last rood and furlong!' In:another portion of the article from which the foregoing- extract is taken there is this de scription of his rather foppislistyle of dress, a peculiarity that:appears conspicuously in Gur= ney's photographs of him, -taken during his last visit to the United states: " His - appearance in , walking dress,in the streets during his later yeara was decidedly odd' and almosteccentric, being Marked by strongly pronounced colors, and a- cat 'of the garments which had somewhat of a sporting and somewhat, of atheatrical .guise. To thoSe who did not know that he was Charles Dick ens be:might have - been some prcisperous sea el,ptain, home from_ a long voyage ; -some Western senator on a tour in Eat o , some tountry,gentleman, of Devon or of Y pt, orkshire, xvho now and then bred a colt or two,"andWan a cup; bat never betted.", • ' ' Dickens on , Death.

At the _beginning of business a broker, acting as the agent of Edward B. Ketchum, announced his inability to fulfill his contracts—the formal way of stating that he had failed.' Subsequent investigation, showed that Young Ketchum since his return to' the street has • been again' speculating on a gigantic scale, his operations in gold lind-sckti reaching a tetal ef: about, ten millions odollars. As a stock speculator he •was , this time' successful, and' his good luck in this line Prevented disastrous results to his ventures' In gold.

Wonczerzn, June W.—At about 9:30 o'clock this morning a freight train from Boston came down to Worcester Junction on its way to lbany. At Worcester Junction the Nor wich, Providence and Springfield roads inter sect each other. The morning express from Boston for New York had passed the Junc tion about fifteen minutes before 'on the Springfield track; the express from Worces ter for Providence had moved on the Providence'track about two minutes before, and the freighttrain in question was stopped, according to regulations, before crossing the Norwich track. The stoppage was sharp, sudden, and violent, Shaken by the concus sion, a quantity of nitro-glycerine, With which the rear car. of the freight train was loaded, instantaneously exploded, with a soundwhich one of those who heard it likened, in describ-, ing the scene, to "thuner gone mad!e freight train was blown d bodily off the ' "tr T ac h k into - fragments,hurled into - the air, diSsipated, disseminated, to descent - "again on all sides 'in a shower of shattered wood and' twisted iron, the traces of which now. strew the hills =and dales ter nearly a mile around. This is no exacsara-, hon. A piece of solid car-wheel, weighing sev eral pounds, has just been found, not doorm i utes ago, imbedded firmly in the of a house more than half a mile from the Junction, on - the - slope of the hill just below the fine Roman Catholic college, whose pieturesque fagade makes a leading feature in the land scape here. In this .JR.oman Catholic col lege, also; two-thirds of the window-panes in the front facing towards the Junction are broken to pieces, many of them haying. -been - blown as - clean - eut - ertheir frames as •so.. , much oiled paper might have been. The like damage.has been done to another large build ing—a young ladies' seminary, which tands on a lull just, opposite _ the-Catholic, institution. -- Between these hills and the Junction a . long . valley intervenes, in which the explosion did but little harm. Nor did the Pioidderree train, advanced, a s . have said, but a little Way.on its track, suffer anythingwerse,than., the shattering of glass in tile rear windows of its rear car. The depot building at the Junction, being perhaps fifty -feet or so in front , of the freight train, likewise - escaped. , But the whole`line of buildings on the western elite - of the track .upon' which the exPlesiblf - 'occurred presents the appearance cifithe , pathWa,y of a tornado. Some of these buildings are quite large, and of brick, others of wood;.but all alike have been battered, twisted and literally " smashed."--R e ors were wrenched from their hinges, shutters turned upside down or torn oil; and dropped into the gullies below. A large bifilding, occupied as a - gun 'factory, has scarcely a pane of glass left in its whole ex tended front, while just under its len stands a nice and sizeable dwelling house, quite -unin jured. Some of the_walls, scraped and riddled with the flying fragments of the shattered train, looked if a battle had been-fought be fore them. - Upon_the most serious aspect of the case it isimpossible as yet tUget accurate , One man, a section hand, who waswalking by the side of the train at the moment of the explo sion, is known to have been killed, but only traces of his remains have been as yet r or-pro= bably ever will be, found. A_brakemati -- thinks-i he recognized a part of the poor fellow's hand in a, piece of torn and blackened flesh which was picked up at a distance of several rods from the road. In a hog-pen still further off was found the bod,y of-another man not yet, identified,' headless and sickeningly torn and disfigured. These two are the only persons as yet be lieved to have perished. The number of wounded is sadly larger. Eighteen have al ready been carried into the, police station, most of them quite seriously, and three or four, as it would seem, fatally injured. They were people of the vicinity, quietly occupied about their own affairs, in their own houses or workshops. More cases are likely to be re ported every moment as the que.st is the ruins goeS on. The damage done to property is roughly guessed at as amounting to 'half a million of dollars. Much valuable machinery has been destroyed in the "Ethan Alien Arms Fac tory," and in the other workshops hard by, and there has been wild wont with the house hold gods of not a few of these quiet little New England homes. The track has suffered no injury. It is fearful to imagine what a story it might have been my duty to send you bad the explosion occurred but two minutes earlier, when its full force would have been felt by the Providence express, then standing full of passengers within a few rods of the fatal car.— Wor/d. OETRAGE IN THE COAL REGIONS. Attempted Highway pe Robry...-4arrow • Esca. The Pottsville Journaliiay Another daring attempt 'at murder and highway robbery occurred near Middleport yesterday forenoon, the particulars df so far as we have beep , able to - ascertain, are substantially. as follows: A boy named Solon Koch, son pf William Koch; residing south of Sharp Mountain, took a load of Hour to Mid dleport, 'where he 'disposed of it and' started for borne. When near thejunction of the New Philadelphia road and the road leading across Sharp. Mountain 'he was fired upon from' ambush, two shots passing through his - hat. The mules became frightened.' and ran up the j3liarp Mountain road, when another shot, was, fired after him but missed its Limit, The . bo3r, then hurried up his tean, and though the' highwaymen pursued him the fleet-footedness of his mules' succeeded in making good his escape. No blue has yet been bad to the . guilty parties. It is evident, how .ever, that they were persons who knew that young Koch had gone to Middleport for the purpose of selling the flour, and that he would have a considerable sum of money on his return. It is strange that farmers will allow their sons—mere boys—to go on errands of this kind alone and without firearms, after the ter rible warnings they have had of the danger connected , with them. The murder of young Yohe, but a few weeks ago, near Shenandoah, Should have been a sufficient warning to all farmers in. the county that no man or boy should drive to market alone' ith anything to sell.. The roadsides throughout the county, it would seem; are 'lined with • hungry men, who; through desperation, are driven to this method of 'maintaining themselves. They are cowardly, -and will not attempt an open- handed •fight, but will shoot' down their vic tims in cold blood, from ambush, without, a moment's warning, for the sake of securing few Paltry_dollars. We can_ give our farmers no-better adVlce than tell them not to venture to market alone, but in , all cases let two or three - go- together, and - let' • them go -well armed and prepared to meet the assassins who lurk in ambush and wait for, their-prey. , THE COURTS.
