Three Cincinnati men, names unknown, lay dead on the laid under the scorching sun. Daniel Wheelao, of company A, Cleveland Ranger*, wounded in neck. Further on towards the wooda two others lay perfectly dead. Of the Canad'an volunteers I can speak more reliably. The Lieutenant Colonel, name unknown, was killed at the first Qre; also Lleutonant P. S. Routh, of the Hamil ton volunteers; Ensign Malcolm McEehan, of Toronto; Corporal Newbou.se, of the Queen's Own; Charles I<ugs den, of Toronto, very dangerously wounded. Another dead body was found in the woods. Recdinga Ford, also of the Queen's Own, of Toronto,|was shot in the leg; J. M. Stuart, Thirteenth battalion, of Hamilton; his linen was marked "C. 8." The volunteers were fourteen hundred strong, made up of the Toronto volunteers, the Queen's Own, Hamilton volunteers and King'B artillery, from Port Colborne. They reached Port Colborne by tbodown train. Colonel Buchanan was In command of the entire force. The fight commenced at eight o'clock aud was over by nine, but skirmishing on tho part of tbe Fenians was kept up until ten o'clock A. M. The Fenian army was entirely out of provl sions, not having eaton anything since yesterday. Unless sup ported soon they must succumb, as the volunteers and regulars are said to be advancing on all sides A large number of the Fenians carried prayer books In their pockets, and In the caso of one man a rtflo ball pierced the book, lodging |near the inner cover. Lieu tenant Routh, when dying, asked permission of Colonel O'Neill to retain his sword, which was granted, and a guard was instructed to see that It was not taken from him. A portion of the Port Robinson volunteers, about one hundred strong, under Captain King, wore etationed be hind the main body during tbe fight, as a reserve. They were ordered up, but did not arrive beloro the main body waa routed. On arriving at Fort Erie ? position was temporarily taken on board the tug stoamor Thomas Robb; but in a short time they came again on shore, remaining in the neighborhood of Waterloo ferry. They went through a number of evolutions, and seemed a well drilled body of men. At about half-past three P. M. a small force of about thirteen Fenians was seen croeslng the brow of a bill, near the ferry. The volunleore immediately prepared to advance upon them, and aa the Fenlana retreated the taak of capturing them seemed easy; but just as they reached the base of tbe hill about eight hundred Feniane appeared and charged precipitately down upon the volunteers, taking them completely by surprise. The volunteer* broke and sealteted through the woode, ex changing over one hundred shuts with the Fenians. About seventy prisoners were taken by the Fenian* A number or the volunteer* retreated on board the tag, and when they got out Into tbe etream fired on the Fe nian*. All along the chore straggler* from the volunteers ran almost craay In tbtir endeavors to procure shelter. The beach waa covered with guns and knapsack* thrown away la their flight Tbe regular* are expected to arrive at any moment, and tb* Fenlana art preparing to give them a warm re ception. Reinforcements are to he aent across to-night to the Fenians; also stores and provisions?how I cannot My. Buffalo, Jane 3?1 A. 1L I here Joel returned from Fort Erie. The Fenian* tore encamped themeelree behind the church, a sheet distance from the beech. During the lest engagement at the Waterloo ferry, as far ? 1 tea find, but few of llie Fenian* were Injured. The prisoners are under guard, but the wounded have been released on parole. JThe Fenians, elated with their eunresa, hare drank freely, and two thirds of them are in a stale of intoxlca tton. The women la the neighborhood are running about in the wildest terror. A number of them here im plored the captains of the various tag* to take tbem acroee to the American side, and io sorno cases the re guest has been complied with. As far I can Judge, there will be no conflict bofore morning, aa the Inebriated of the Fnnian army are wild from hunger and tne drink they have taken. Captain King, whom I reported as killed. In but badly wounded In the leg, and may poaalbly recover. He was taken from the Canadian side on board a lug belonging to the United States steamer Michigan, and transferred Ibence to a rmall boat. One ef tbe Fenian colonels demanded that their wouded should be aleo taken off, which tbe captain, with questionable humanity, refused to do. Tbe Fenian prisoners taken at Fort Erie during the morning bave born released by their friend* Among the former was a correspondent of a Louisville journal, wbo was brought on by Colonel O h'e.ll to report tbe proceedings. The Michigan, as well a* a number of tug?, are running up and down the river to prevent any attempt at rein forcing. Ordera are Issued to fire on any boats pasting to the Canadian aide, and to arrest any Fenians coming thence, whether armed or unarmed. R. O.

The excitement along tbe border has not at all abated to-day, but m rather Incrsaaod by reason of uffeus re operations by the Canadian forces. A report prevalent late last ntgbt that tbe Fenians were being largely rein forced la not fully oonflrined. It la supposed that they received but few acoaaelons to their number*. Th?ir operatlona betray oooeiderable military skill, acting Uiorougbly on the defensive as yet. They are menaced to-day br two columns, moving In opposite directions?one organised at Port Col borne, the formation of which la not fully ascertained, bnt Is said to be about two thousand strong, Infantry and artil lery, enother, under Colonel Peerock, of Crimean repu tation, and now commander of the Sixteenth British regulars. This column ta compraed of one Imitation, the right wing of the Hlsteenlli, Ave companies, two hat tall tone of tbe Tenth Royal Volunteer*, of Toronto, sod another battel I ion of volunteer*, designation unknown, with one battery of the Forty seventh Royal artdiery, with sis Whitworth guns. Tnw force moved from Chippewa at about eight o'clock the morning, marching directly to Black creek, where at Dret It was supposed tbe Fenians would be mel On approaching that vicinity R was ascertained that the Invaders bad marched westward, to meet the column moving from Port Oolborre Colonel Peacock pressed on v goroeely In pursuit, stimulated to greater haste by a report that lb" Fenians bad surrounded a detachment of the Port Col burns force Ad Information received from atlsene Is exceedingly anrailafartory No one could tell the direction the enemy bail taken (for hie strength. localities and distances were ail oonlred.clory They were thus led on orctiitnua routes, causing sum rsamry marching under e severe sen. At one o'clock they rear bed a little town called New fiermany. or Uermantewn, seven or eight miles west of Furt hue There it was reported that tire Fenians bad an> sraped ?a a ridge three miles south. The march to Una point waa tseeedingly trying to the man, number* ef them falling with snaatrnka The road waa hoed with stragglers. The information waa so an reliable thai Peerwek wisely bailed hie solemn and put hie men in camp. Immediately after reports were received that the Fenians had attacked tbe advance of the Port Col born a rwl'imn. driving lbs red mats bark upon tbetr main force wltb considerable loaa. No flguraa were gtveo. Tbe affair waa mid to have occurred nearly south of Germentown, at a point where the Fan ana were than em am pad, thus indicating that they bad certainly held their ground. dolose I Peacock deemed It pendent to get late comma ? i,p?with the other fores before proceeding farther, kimees of the aaeerteiety ef the force ef the shemy.

This is doubt ful, but many subordinate officers evprrss their deter mination to act on that rule. The Fenians still continued to conduct themeelvei In n manner to win praise from their enemies. They destroy nothing unnecessarily, and refrain scrupulously from pillaging. They impress horses and cattle when they need them, and what provision* tbey want, hut nonoc.
