Me'ATTLE OF KHICARD'S FARM!
Oo Wednesday of last week the Fenians
in Fairfield and St. Albans began to be
quite active and many loaded teams were
sent north to Franklin near the line. Fe
nians legan to arrive in large numbers
f-and moved in the ssme direction, rtiis
and equlptiitfnts for'4'000 men -WerelSnded
at'judga :J.: II. ilubU.tAl'J'TaHn'abbut one
half mile this side of the line, Ydonday
and Tuesday nights, and enough Were ex
pected to use them all, but only about
300 reached there in season.
About half-past 11, Wednesday morn-
frg, rhcretiinns, who had beeu for seve
ral hours previous busy in unpacking arms
and otherwise getting ready for actitftr at
Hubbard's Corner, Franklin, took np a
line of march.
When arrived neir the house' of Atvah
Rhicards, about 4 rods this sids of the
Wdcr, they 'halted, and Gen. O'Neill
made the following speech :
' Soldiers! This is the advance-guard
of the Irish-American army, for the lib
eration of Ireland from the oppressor. For
your own country you now enter that of
the enemy. The eyes of your country
men are upon you. Forward, inarch !
"Tho ti&vahce company 'was from fBur-
lingtoD, and was commanded by Captain
William Cronan. At tho conclusion ot
Gen. O'Neill's address, Capt. Cronan lift
ed his hat and replied :
General I am proud Vermont has th"
ltbnor of leading this advance. Ireland
may depend upon us to do our duty."
The advance ts then resumed by a
flank in tho open roads, and as Cronori's
comtany passed Rhieard's house aud were
descending a little hill toward the lino,
they were surprised by a sharp volley
from some Canadian troops, whose position
was concealed.
The fire was instantly returned by Cro-
nan's men, and quite a sharp fire was kept
tp for some tinio.
The Canadians were posted behind rocks
ami! tree a-wll toad, of course, the advan-
tage of tlws "boys in green. Two Fenians
were killed, one of whom was Lieutenant
Murray of Boston, and Capt. Cronan and
a private wore wounded in the thigh The
skirmish was witnessed by quite a num
ber of citizens.
IT. S. Marshal Foster and Deputy Mar
shal Foley took a commanding position
part of the way up the hill, and were un
dor fire all the time.
About 1 o'clock, when Gen. O'Neill
had gone to the right of his command,
Marshal Foster had his carriage brought
to a near position, and immediately ar
rested Gen. O'Neill by virtue of the
president's proclamation The genera!
said he refused to be arrested, and had a
force which ho would use for his protect
ion. The umrshal, seeing a lot of Fen:
ans close at hand) threw open his carriage
door, and with the help of Fa ley thrust
O'Neill into a back scat. The officials
leaped into their scats, and their horses
left in hot haste. The general arrived at
the Weldon House, St. Albans, at four
o'clock. lie was soon after arraigned be
fore Ui Si Commissioner Smalley for vio
lation of tilt! neutrality lows, waived an
examination, and in default of $20,000
bail was taken to Burlltigtotii in the eve
ning to be committed.
The arrest of Gen. O'Neill fell like t
wet blauket on the Fenians, and Wedue
day evening they were badly demoralized
They were not reinforced as they expected
to be.
Company G of the 5th U. S. Heavy
Artillery, Capt. Richard Arnold command
ing, stationed at Plattsburg, arrived at
St, Albans at night, and pitched their
tents on the north side1 of the park.
Since then two other companies from
tho same buttery have arrived and are
now encumed at Franklin Ccntref about 1
1-2 miles from the border.

the' number of about 2,500 and gave fliem

grave of poor John Roe, of Bu-lington,
who was the only one killed on British
soil, and which was covered nearly breast
high with large stones, was visited by'the
masses 'who looked upon the barbarous
looting" prlC' as tho achievement of a glori
ous 'deed, 'and ' seemed proud of the mon
ument " they had ''raied. In conversation
with Capt.'Ma'usbn.'cf the Victoria Rifles,
concerning the"n1hfin'er"of burial and the
treatment of the' toxlpVeviotryly ,'he apol
ogetically remarked thatboth parties were
anxious to get possession of the body and
when the Canadians attempted to get it
they were fired upon by the Fenians, till
becoming exasperated, one of the volun
teers rushed down to where it lay under
'fij-eand'todk it by the hair and dragged
it 'toVard :r1ie5r cAlrip. The report Was
that the body was bayoneted, kicked and
tossed about, but the'Capt. thought it was
only dragged lo the place of burial by the
hair, which he admitted to be "a little
rough" but excused it on the ground of
the great excitement of tho moment.
He remarked that ho thought tho body
would be given up to Roe's friends after
the excitement was over.
The action of the Fenians in the afTair
was considered by both Americans and
Canadians 'to be". ery tad, "both in 'the di
rection of their leaders, ond execution by
tho men ; that at the first fire they scat
tered like sheep and took rofugo behind
houses and barns this side of the line.
One man was killed while running to tho
woods on the west side of the road, at a
distance of 900 yards and forty-rods this
sido'of 4he line, The rifle used was tel
escope sigli'tcd, and the shot was considor
ered a remarkably good one.
The bridge mentioned is but little more
than an ordinary culvert, being about 12
feet across, and tho "river" which it spans
can be easily stepped over. The 'position
of the Canadians was extremely advanta
geous, it being on an elevation of from
100 to 200 icet, aud largo rocks or boul
ders and trees covered the ground, and the
road for a distance of half a mile was in
plain sight. The position of the Fenians
was quite the reverse, being in the road.
It is thought they might have gone up or
made their advance from the west side of
the hi'l oiid liccti succettjfiiU yet in the
end they would have been driven oat 'and
their loss much greater
We enquired of Capt. Manson concern
ing the prisoners they had taken, and ho
said they had taken two, and confined
them in jail ; that they would not le hung
without a fiir trial and after conviction.
though if convicted not much mercy
would be shoWn them.
The officers there appeared to be satis

taken.

During tho pust week so many rumors
were afloat concerning (Ire fhovelrremV (but
Saturday we repaired to the" lite" scene of
action, in order to give our readers firB
particulars. The Fenians had all left the
border, and we saw but a party of six who
were going toward tho Hue. They ap
pea red to be stragglers, and presented six
as good looking disconsolate countenances
as ore seldom ces. They were probably
going to see thoir wounded comrades,

THE AFFAIR AT IUNTINXUKKN.
(Special dispatch to the Boston Journal.)
May 27 Evening.
The fiasco of Ibis morning at Trout riv
er is probably the last attempt upon the
Canadian border that will be mado by the
Fetnaus.
The demoralisation of the men is com
plete, though they profess themselves wil-
ling to fight for tho Irish cause. They
declare that they have lost all faith in
their leaders.
Yesterday morning a crossing was made
ihreatoning Huntingdon. After advanc
ing tt liiilc along the road a stop was made
at the village of Trout River Line. This
place is a small Collection of houses, a
tavern, grocery storC) ettJ. In a field ib
the rear of this Village) and close by the
St. Lawrence River, the Fctiah advance
fixed thoir ramp and threw tip ah embank
ment to serve as rifle pits.
Last evening a forward advance a1
gainst them was mado by Canadian volun
teers, and the Fenians fell back across the
line to their old camp.
Early this morning they again advanc
ed, and met with no interruption till they
were close by a maple grove, and directly
in the rear of a hop-yard. Not ten min
utes after a large force of volunteers was
seen rapidly dpptoaching, and deployinga
skirmish line which threatened to cut them
off from any lino of escnp.

The Collectorship.
We have failed to see as yet a single
newspaper in this State that favors the
frcmoval of Geh'annard from the office
of 'Collect, and 'how can they? when
nine-tcntMs of the'pco'pie 'in the State de
sire to have-him retained in tlie office.
Tho B'primjfidd Republican says truly
that " Vermont blazes with righteous in-din-riaiori
from 'Burlington to BrattleWo
over ftie'Ettefitpt'of" certain Boston treas
ury agents to oust Gen. Stahnard from his
collect jrship."
Even the name of Stannard hos come
to be something sacrod in tho hearts of
the people ot Vermont, and we do not
think that our delegation in Congress will
recommend another man for the placo a
gainst the earnest protest of their constit
uents. The following from the Free Press will
explain from whence Stantiard's opposi
tion comes :
The official term' of' Gen. Stannard, as
Collector of this'.fcjs'triet, expires c be
lieve on the last! of Jane. W,o, 'had' sup
posed there would rjq td opposition to his
reappointment. 'But Is las become appa
rent of mfo that' tl.ere is an active combi
nation it work to prevent it. That it has
any prospect of success we cannot believe ;
but there is enough of it to make it worth
while that tho people of the State should
understand its origin and animus.
The organizer and leader of the move
ment is known to be a special agent of the
Treasury, now of Boston, who during the
administration of the former Collector,
was one of his deputies at Island Pond.
At an early day in the administration of
the present Collector, this ambitious offi
cial found that ho could not run this dis
trict, or.dictato the appointment of its sub
ordinate officers. He also learned, in tho
most -emphatic manner, that the Cellcctor
was'tlot thcTtian to make his official posi
tion a mattcr'of speculation. Io doubt
he also became satisfied that this district
was a poor place fur his own business.-
The failure on tho part of the Collector
to appreciate this functionary and the sum
mary rejection of his corrupt offers very
naturally arouscd'h'm hostility and bitter
personal enmity and for the last three
years he has done all in his power through
his official position and otherwise to injure
(Jen. Stannard. In this business he has
been seconded by his staff, composed, as
we are informed, of two special inspectors
who also were officers under the late Col
lector, and who were removed by th-1 pres
ent administration, and an Ass't Special
Treasury Agent, foimcrly an Inspector at
St. Johns.
All of these parties, as we are inform
ed, arc now located at Boston, under the
immediate eye of their superior. Until
very recently their work has been carried
on in the dark ; but it has been persistent,
untiring and unscrupulous, in this State
and ojt of it.
Stationed ct Boston, and paid good sal
aries and their travelling expenses by the
govcmniMit, for looking after the interests
of the revenue, these men seem to make
it their Kpecial business to traverse this
state by day and by night at the expense
of tho government, for" the purpose of de
faming an hoTitfrtible -and honest titizen of
Vermont, and of pcrsiradlVic V crinotitv
to join them in a crusade Against one of
Vermont s bravest and ftyfcniost soldiers
The purpose toward which they have
lent all their energies, has been by any
and every means todes'roy the reputation
of a man whom they could not uso for the
accomplishment of their purposes a man
who, while they were enjoying tho spoils
of lat cilices, and growing rich, at the
head of Vermont's gallant volunteers was
beating back the bloody tide ot robelliou.
and making a record for thsui and for the
State which will ever command the admi
ration of her loyal sons.
e bellcvD V crmnot will stand by
the man who so nobly stood by his State
and his country in the dnrk days of the
nation s peril, bhe will not allow her
maimed and scarred soldier to be super
seded so long as ho is deserving bf trust
aud confidence.
That his adm'mislrfttioh of the Cbllcdi
orship has been cohdUcted with ihe strict
est integrity and fidelity, no one who
knows the man can doubt. That he has
never made any mistakes, we do not as
sert who docs not sometimes make mis
takes? but he is thoroughly honest and
faithful, and the country has none too
many holiest and faithful servants in silch
places of trust.
The office was given to him with the
Cordial approval bf the citizens of Vermont
aiid shey have bnly to underttund the
origin and motives of the attempt to re
move him, to brand it with like hearty
and wdll-nigh unanimous rebuko.

"-A good deal of a stir has beeu made
in literary circles by the appearance, sud
denly, of a new book by a ne man,
which grapples with the greatest subject
prescutod to the American people, name
ly, the foundations of that liberty and or
der and union which go to make up the
body known as the United States. "The
Nation," by E. Mulford, is not a dry tech
nical treatise ou tho Constitution, but a
profotltifi iriYettgution, in the interest of
the people, of the fundamental principles
of our national life. It discusses the
great question of the nation to tho sepa
rate States and to individuals ; i( shows
the living connection between morals and
politics, and, in a word, is a book which
every thoughtful America Vill be thank
ful to have read.
This book, advertisod by II. O. Hough
hton & Co., is coupled by them with an
other, Palfrey's "History. of New Eng
land f"ttd ft ttill be a good day vvhcu
boys and young men are induced to read
what their fathers havo doBO in history,
and what foundations they built upon in
the State.

The clerical vote on the proposition to
change the organic ldW of the Church so
as to admit lay delegates into the Genera
Conference has now bocn taken iu all the
Annual Conferences but two the East
Muine and tho Mission1 Conference in
Germany. So fur the requisite three-
fourths has been given Ibr the measure,
and some thirty or more to spare: The
Conferences yet to vote are Dot cipVc'tbd
to reduce, if they materially change the
result.. So the measure so Ions disousted
by that Church, may bo considered as
pradtically secured. As the vote of the
membership was lareolv in futor. it will
doubtless be acquiesced in by (tie mass of
tne people and clergy. The Christian
public Will conratuluto this Church ou
this isallc, as one of progress aud also of
peace.
