Festasism tet Eerie—
The news of the Fe
jinn invasion Of Canada has been the main
topic of discussion iu the city during the past,
week. Crowds of people have been gathered
together during all hours of the day upon the
street corners and around the bulletins,
eagerly c itching up each item from the "seat
of war," end discussing it pro and eon, ac
cording to the irtato of their sympathies, The
tone of public sentiment has generally been
in favor of the Fenian cause, though amongst
most persons of intelligence the movement
iuy Canada was looked upon as foolish and
cerlain of . failure. In the croad, liowever,
could now and then 'be met: a sympathiser
with the British government, but they were
as rare as " rebel sympathizers " itt tbelate
war. These are mostly persons • of .English
descent, and the expression of their opinions
in several cases led them into diffinult posi
tions. The friends of the Feniane became
enibellened by 'the tone of public •
opinion,
and in half a dozen cases threats weree made
by excited eons of Erin to demolish the beauty
of some free-spoken Englishman's face. The
crowd, though, eoon separated the belligerents,
and the dispute usually wound up with a
hearty
_laugh at the expense of both parties
Notwithstanding the sympathy felt for their
countrymen in Canada, the cause of Fel:rim:l
imn has never met with much encouragement
among the Irish in Erie. The society here
numbered at the highest only._ about sixty
members, and, the contributions of money
have been correspondingly small. 'Most of
the-wealthy-Irish have diScountentitteed the
movement from the beginning, looking upon
it as impracticable and sure to result, in the
1093 of many lives, without any beneficial end.
It is probably d a to their influence, and that
of the church, J r hat the cause' has gained no
more headway in our city: 1

On Saturday, during the height of the first
excitement, a prOjeet was started teXaise an
Irish company from our city to go to the aid
of dheiribrethren fighting in Collide, • The
idea 'was well received, but the sad - fate of
4 .
O'Neil and his men put a . damper on it. ' O n
Monday evening a meeting was held upon the
subject, which` did not result in an encoura
ging manner.. Only . ten volunteered, and of
thes - e -we doubt if any would •be willing to
go, since the - receipt of later intelligence.—
fren. Sweeney is regarded with some popu
larity by,the Irish of Erie, but his programme
is looketrupcin as a rash one, and while many
wish hirli Suclie4, tlrer2 aro few who would
be willing to/volunteer under his standard for
immediate elation is the field. If our Irish
citizens could be convinced that a movement
on Canada would meet with a reasonable
chance of victory, they would be ready to
turn out en masse. They have good judgment
enough to pee the folly of the plans thus far
brought forward,: and, like sensible men,.re
fuse to give their services and means for the
advancement of schemes the failure of which
are too - palpable to admit of a doubt. r
Several large parties of Fenians have pass
ed through the city during the weel4 from
Pittsburgh and the West. A body of three
hundred escaped the Federal authorities very
adroitly on Saturday night, by taking small
boats at a point some distance below the har
bor, and using them to get on board a vessii
lying outside. Every day a• car load or two
passes by here on the Lake Shore Railroad,—
Most of the Fenians profess to know nothing
of their ultimate destination, but say they-are
ready to march wherever their officers order
them.

The ingratitude of t „Republican leaders
was never better exbibled thari in their treat
ment of our friend DeCamp in his aspirations
for aseat in Congress. Notwithstanding his
hard work in the party harness during the
last- five years, his great and unexampled
"loyalty," and his faithful promises of leally
to the cause in future, ho receives nothing
but snubs on all sides. The organs in this
county have all received his announcement
with silent contempt, which, to a man of
George's disposition, is worse -than abuse,
while in other counties the pailty papers irelit
him -with open disdain. The Crawford Jour
nal, not satisfied with ridiculing him,. a week
or two ago, marchei up to the attack ~again in
the following style :
AS:OiI:MED.—As we expected, George_3V.
DeCamp, Esq., has announced that he will 'be
a candidate for Congre'ss in the Erie district,
and says that, whether nominated or not, he
shall continue to give the best of his "poor
abilities to sustain and uphold the great prin
ciples of civil and political liberty upon which
the Union Republican party was built and now
stands." George doesn't really think he is
endowed with "poor abilities."- •
The sneering manner of the aboro is morti,:
Eying enough to a Man of Mr. DeCamp's _re
fined sensibilities, but what must be thought
of this from the McKean Miner? -.
"We know but little of the political procliv
ities of Mr. DeCamp, excepting that he was
very recently ti Democrat, too recent, we
think, to trust in that place just now. There
are oilier men in Erie county that we would
prefer.'2
This I.s the appreciation Republican editors
show Or patriotism and eloquence. Was ever
base ingratitude more boldly displayed? To
think of the services our friend has rendered
his party and the country, and that he
should be rewarded thus! Really, if this
treatment is to continue,,we shall have to vol
unteer to defend him against the malice of
tile political allies. We will just say for the
present that if his past Democracy is the eole
,objection the Miner can raise to his nomina•
tion, it need give itself no farther trouble.—
There are hundreds of reliable citizens here
who will vouch for the fad that he was never
•
enough of a Democrat to affect him -seriously,
and who stand ready to enter into bonds that
whatever party will give him the highest offer
Can depend upon his faithful allegiance.
•
Do not forget that the renowned °cullal.
and Aurist, Dr. Liston, from the Albany Gen
eral Infirmary, whose fame as a successful
Physician and Surgeon for the Eye, Ear,
Throat, Catarrh and Chronic diseases gener
ally precedes his coming, will be at Brown's
Ilotel, in this city, on Monday and Tuesday
next, for the purpose of treating all diseases
which may be presented to him. We advise
all in any way afflicted to call on him, if they
want to be cured. Consult km free: ja7 _

The Fenian War.
• I. 1
The long threatened invasion of Canada by
the Fenians has taken place at last. -On Fri.
!thousand
of list week a force estimated at about a
!thousand strong, commanded by j General
O'Neill, crossed Niagara river in canal bolts,.
from Basle, 2:80 A. M., and captured
Waterloo and Fell Erie, (small towns oppo
site that city) tore'up s small portion of the
track of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway,
and out the telegraph wires leading to the
Canadian interior. They then moved, down
the Niagara river, towards Chippewa, haltitik
at Frenchman's 'creek, where ranters prevail
ed during the ; fcrenocin of the_ advance ;of
Canadian troops. Breastworks were hastily
constructed, and skirmishers thrown to the
front. The Fenian!, were armed..with rifles,
bowie knives and pistols, but had no artillery,
and wore nnuniformed. Their-appearance on
British soil created intense excitementin Can
ads, and rapid preparations were made to re=
psi the invaders. -
Toward the close of the day adeices from
Washington, and - the growing bohintisit of the
Fenian preparations In IMMO to reinforce
the invaders in Canada, induced the steamer
Michigan and the military' authorities to
check communication between the two shores
of the Niag . ara.i Orders were istmed.ferbid-
Ming the creasing of the river by 'anybody,
*hich were only partially effective owing to
Usk of means to enforce them. Rumors. pre ! :
veiled through* the day of Fenian attacks
on other points, and telegrams announcing
bodies of Fenian' moving in all directiods
towards the border were sent over the coma try daring the night. Our Government sent
troops to Buffalo end various points along the
line to prevent any more Fenians front cross
ing. Ia Canada the volunteers and regulars
in large numbers were:hastily being shipped
toward the point of attack.
The Fenians. left Frenchman's creek early
on Saturday morning, marching towards
Ridgway in good order. At Limestone Ridge
they heard that a considerable force of Cana
dian voinnteerirwas in their front, and 'formed
into line of battle. The first shot was fired-'
by the'Feniati 'Skirmishers, and a musketry
fire wet kept up for some twenty. minutei—
The British - made a general advance, the Fe
nians falling bock about 40 rods to a piece of
woods, wadingithrough a swamp for the pur
pose, forming a new line in a horse shoe shape.
The British' troops, interpreting this as an
_utter roote of the Fenians, quickened their
previously sloW advance to a double quick,
and rushed into the swamp with loud yells,
the cry of "Irish" being frequently heard.—
But through the swamps the severe fire which
the Fenians opened on them would, not allow
them to pass, and in these relative positions
the conflict raged for half an hour. The
British centre leas broken through, and their
troops were thrown into confusion and retreat
ed through Ridgeway, towards Pan Colborne.
The rout of the red coats is represented e
complete. Thity threw away coats, blankets,
guns,—anythitig• that would impede, their
flight. The Fenians pursued them through
Ridgeway, and more than ' a mile beyond,
when Col. O'Neill, flailing his men tired out;
gave orders to return to Fort Erie. -
On their return, they found a tug lying at
the wharf of the town of Fort Erie, sue a
company of red coats in charge of the place.
The British, seeing that they were greatly
outnumbered, tried to clove down the river,
but the Feniatis threw out a flanking party
and intercepted them, capturing most of the
command. The tug waited not for friend or
foe, but made her way under high pressure to
a , safer port,; receiving a shot through her
wheel-hose es a parting banedietion from an
ambitious Fenian.
• The result of Col. O'Neill'a operations is as
follows: He ;marched about 3U miles during
the day, fought two engagements, and 'made
good his escape from an overpowering ; forge,
with an estimated lose of 5 killed and 18
wounded. The British loss was larger, inch:-
,ding some of the lead' 'g citizen. of iToronto.
After the battle at Limestone Ridge width°
skirmish at. Fort-Erie, theFehians made comp
at ei¢ Fort-Nrie.- Col. O'Neill . bad received
information that British forces were at Chip
pews, andliOt these, with the party 'he had.
defeated at Limestone Ridge, were not less
than five theuland Arm, and azaompanied
by artillery. He soon decided to evacuate,
and at about 1:15 O'clock, Sunday mining
transports arrived at Old Fort Erie. and Col:
O'Neil and about 900 of his brave little band
quietly embarked for the American' shore
When about midway of the channel ari out
side of ;British waters; the tug 'Herrisdn, tin
der command of an officer of the steamer
Michigan, ordered them to round to aid haul'
alongside. Col. O'Neil then iturrenileted,his
r command to; the ynited States authoritifts.
The Michigan wad sigiialled, and having steam
up and anchor tripped was soon alongside,
and taking the transports in tow dropped
down to the lower Black Rock. After the Fe
ulnas bad left Fort Britt it Was oc cupied by a
large th*iitif BOA; tfie# tip! a vigilant
guard:- 'Tory feW inclifenta 'of - interest have,
