From the Burlington (Vt.) 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

more vigor the route which leads to destruc

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

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

of our gFeaepus Queen and her members of
Parlerment to grant us true bread !'-L u cy

" Oh Giod, wbo by Thy Prophet's band
Didst smite the rocky brake,
Whence water came at Thy command;
The people's thirst to slake:
Strike, now, upon this granite wall,
Stern, obdurate, and high,
And let one drops .of pity fall
For us who starve awl die!
"The God, who &mit a little child

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!

In memory , of Me'l

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,

peculiarity that:appears conspicuously in Gur=

last visit to the United states:
" His - appearance in , walking dress,in the

strongly pronounced colors, and a- cat 'of the

A' WALT. STREET SENSATION.
Edward B.'llietebium in a New Role.
The Herald says :
Tho, summer monotony of the Stock Ex,
change was relieved ysterday, by a fresh sen
sation of an old actor in thescene. 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. As it is, his broker'
fails for',the . comparatively small , amount of
only eighty thousand dollars,__ The _ mistake
which Young Ketchum made was in en
deavoring 'to "'bull " :gold, which his old ex
perience bad led-, him to think was
always bound to rise. He, made a
mistake which, many others made who forgot
that the warm over and that the country is
steadily
_returning to its : pristine prosperity.
The immense cotton crops of the South and
the financial success of the Government are
constantly operating to wipe out the gold pre
mium. . The defeat of the gold " halls" of 1870

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. ,
