On disentharbing, Ethey at once went into camp about one mile west of the Fort. Their arrival ‘ was the s gnal for instant activity on the part of both the Canadian and Ameri can forces. Colonel Boulton and several of the Canadian dfiieers happened to be at a ball at Mr. Simpson’s residence,but on hearing of the presence of the Fe- nians, at once called out the forces.â€" The head of the portage was guarded by three corps, and the road patroled by sentries. The United States troops at the Fort were also called out, and sentries posted on the other side. The 1‘ enians probably realizing that owing to .these precautions no attempt could 'be made with any prospect of success, and becoming aware of the proximity of the gunboat, embarked again after a stay of three or four ”hours and pro- eecded to Duluth. '°It }8 expected that another force will shortly arri-ve. Col Boutton has been assured of the co opera. tion of the American forces to nrevent any demonstration. l l l 1 AN INVASION ANTICIPATED Latest from Fort Garry. Egremont Gouncfl. R. LEGATE, Clerk. Itinnf ”L, an, Of the municipalities in western Grey, which entered into fraternal relations at Durham, when the County Council held its first and last session here, four, viz., Owen Sound, Keppel, Sydenham and Derby, have repudiated the 'eovenant, and desire to draw Sullivan and Hol- land also from their implied, if not very strongly eXpressed engagement. If they succeedâ€"and everything betokens suc- cess in this particularâ€"North Grey is about 'to commit itself to 'the Lake Shore route between Collingwood and Owen Sound. The only ground of com- plaint we have any right to make is concerning the precipitate withdrawal of our Northern friendsâ€"though it is but just to the Warden to say that he has creditahly distinguished himself by his absence from the recent convention. Our Northern friends need not appre- bend any interference with their plans by raiders from the South, They will be permitted to enjoy their morsel in peace and. quietness. We wish them success; and now that they have a local scheme whichvwill be; the centre of ab- sorbing interest, ire ere apprehensive In order, we presume,to be satisfied of the purpose of the last named Company and with a view of repairing breaches, the representatives of the Western Townships of the County of Grey, en- gaged to use their best endeavors to ob- tain the sanction of the ratepayers to a bonus equal to $5,000 a mile, to be ex- tended over the distance intervening between Mount Forest and Owen Sound. Subsequently, we believe, a proposal equal to an additional $1000 per mile was ofl'ercd and refused. This refusal, though smothered in terms ofdiplomatic verbiage, aided our Owen Sound friends in forming a correct estimate of the character of the policy of the narrow- gaugers. So lung as the influence of Owen Sound could be used, even under the stimulus of the little subsidies to which we have referred, in blocking the 1 career of the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Company, Owen Sound was the white-headed boy, but in an unguarded momentâ€"when the fortunes of the lat- ter Company appeared to be en the waneâ€"proclamation was virtually made at \Vroxeter, that Owen Sound might go to the devil, first. that a Director in tho 'll'oronto, Grey and Bruce said, at Wroxcter, the other day, that if they could only get right on-from Arthur, through Wroxc- ter of course, to Kincardine, that they had secured all they wanted at Owen Sound; and second, that a very little while before the very same Company sent as representatives, gentlemen from Owen Sound, subsidized by twenty dol- lars a-piece, to oppose the passage of a By-law in Bruce to aid the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Company, the success of which would seriously interfere with the ability of the narrow gaugers to patronize Owen Sound. Could impu- denee further go? l 1 There cannot, we assume, be any ob- Ijection to the Municipalities comprising 1 either one or the other of the divisions gagreeing to aid any proposed Railway 1 looking to its accommodation. This 1 had ever been our .Opiuien, but it was 1 not'shared in by the leading representa- 1 tive men of North Grey at the time the 1 Angus and Durham was .under discus- 1sion. At that time every member of 1 the Corporation of OwenSouud became 1 suddenly converted into a peripatetic 1 missionary who went forth protesting. I that on his conscience it would be 1 wrong to disturb or divide the respon- 1sibilitics of the larger municipal family. 1They succeeded with the aid of John 1 Fowler So a cotm'c of Toronto merchants. 1 The encouragement given to these Toronto 1geutlemen begot the delusion that by, I‘fetz’ng the aristocracy of the villages and [patronizing Mr. Reeve and his Deputy 1 here and there, that the bushwhackersI could be hoodwiuked to such an extent.” 1 that on the promise of making them a : 1 Railway, of any kind or capacity, they I 1 would vote any sum asked for. The 1 inarrow gaugers, or Toronto, Grey and Bruce Company, found that they had miscaleu'lated. We' have ever and over again exposed the trickery of that Com- pany. We are not now going to repeat the evidence, but we would remind some of our Owen Sound friends of the strong confirmation by which this charge is. tug. ‘um, ‘I‘ ‘5'" v.'to ‘ “imh’n -;.n.' ‘I 'j In fulfilment of our engagement to return to the consideration of the interesting subject of local Rail- way projects, after the proposed confer- ence at Owen Sound, and having now the reported action of that convention before us, we propose to treat the sub- ject somewhat historically. To some persons it may appear quite unnecessary to dis-inter the remains of almost for- gotten schemes, but as history as well as the accumulative sciences can-net af- ford to be unmindful of first principles, and as the Angus and Durham project was the first that contemplated a local independenceâ€"looking only to South Grey for municipal support-v80 also has the lastâ€"which aired its proposition at Owen Sound on the 2nd instantâ€"made the other division of the County, viz., North Grey, alone responsible for a bonus, or gift, for a branch of the Nor- thern Railroad from Collingwood to Owen Sound, estimated at $275,000.

Railways in Grey. ‘ W The Canadian Illustrated Mws has come to band. It is unusually in- teresting this week, and contains sever- al very excellent Views and sketches of the recent Fenian battles. At noon on Thursday last, a stable, the property of Dr. Gun, of this village, was, with its contentsâ€"two sets of har- ness and a quantity of hay and oats,â€" compv-letely destroyed by fire. A lot of cordwood which was in close proximity to the burning building, was also des. troycd. Cause of fire unknown. Loss about $250 ; no insurance. W. G. AND B.

The stoppage of our gunboat at the Sault shows us that, even in the time of peace, we are entirely at the mercy of the Americans. Let us speedily wipe away this reproach by making one of our own. Mudh has been said against this gen- tleman, but nothing proven in reference to his Red River trip. He may have been .eareless, light and indiscreet; but he most certainly was not treacherous or disloyal. He has been cleared amp- ly from all guilt. Capt. Kennedy has formally disproved the alleged treason- able conversation. The declared dis- gust of Mr. Al-eoek has been shown a mere supposition; and the champagne story, respecting Ilowe’s drinking it with Riel, is proven a mere slander.- The fact is, that Mr. Howe, like mosti other people, never dreamed .ofa rebel-gE lion. He thought, despite all the; spoutings of the French Half-Breeds,j that Governor MeDougall would soon talk them all right. He was not com-l missioned to hold public meetings; nor: was he sent to hold ofiicial correspond- once with the people. He could not; talk French fluently, nor was his visit: there for any other purpose than his‘ own information as a Crown ofieer. When our Government asked for and? obtained the suspension of :the Eabcu‘; Corpus Act, the Opposition press, cape-if eially the Globe, denounced the move-fE ment, and declared it a mere political? dodge. The care that was taken and;: the energy displayed by our emblems toil ascertain all the movements and inten-‘E tions of the Fenian rabble, must now be; appreciated by all impartial and reapon- E “bl-c 1“ 4““ 'M‘:99um, “cv- ~-~~ mun S eepmg at their posts, but have} tb U I,“ round sleeping at their ‘fiofi‘a, But. have shown themselves every way fit for the high and responsible position they occu- PY- With that inconsistency that is as- tounding, cfl‘orts are already being made to induce our Government to surrender the prisoners that were taken at Pigeon Hill ! It can scarcely be supposed that the American Government will yield to the eutreatics of the Fenian sympathiz- ers, and make such an infamous: request. But should such an enormity occur, let us hope that it may meet with such a prompt and energetic denial that our neighbors may at once see that we will not sufl‘d’r the least outside .interference.§ If these wretches had had their full de-j sert, they should have been blown, Se-h poy-iikc. from the smnzzles of our can- non even before this ! ' Last night, (Wednesday) 8th inst, about 1‘2 o’clock, fire was observed is- suing from the ITannery and Harness Shop belonging to Messrs. T. and J. R. Smith of this village, and before any attempt could be made to remove any- thing, the building was enveloped in flames, and in a very short time the structure with its contents consumed.â€" The wind was blowing a stifi‘ breeze from the east when the fire was first discovered, but it suddenly changed to the south-west, and increased to a gale, and it was at one time feared that the whole Lower Village would become a prey to the devouring element. Fortu- nately, however, the wind was accom. panied by a very heavy shower of rain, which, combined with the superhuman exertions put forth by our citilens, had the effect of checking the spread of the flames. This is the second large fire which has taken place in Durham with- in a short period, and it behaves the property-holders of this village to set about getting a first-class fire engine. If this cannot be done, let them form an efficient hook-and ladder Company.â€" The cause of the fire is unknown. The total loss of the Messrs. Smith cannot fall short often or twelve thousand dol- lars, none of which is covered by insur- 31106. We admit that the Railway problem, as affecting the County of Grey, still awaits a solution, and we have a strong conviction that the movement initiated by the recent convention, at Owen Sound, will not point in that direetion. that they will not {and it convenient to extend much of their benemlent atten- tion in this direction. i Smiths’ Tannery in Ashes.

A boy, only fourteen years of been sentenced at the Police ( Lowe”, Mass., for- being a 1 drunkard; . - The Chicago Posts says if O’Neil had been smart,- he’d have been out. of Bar- lington jail before now, on .3 plea of temporary insanity. A sharp wheat buyer in Solano county, California, seeing quotations slightly ad- vanced, telegraphed to the Bay to know if he should buy at quotations. The answer cameâ€"“No price too high l”â€"-â€" On receipt of this message he “pitched in” and bought 200 tone, which he was obliged recently to sell, pocketing a loss of one dollar per ton. A comma after “No,” woulil have saved him all that loss. So much for punctuation. “The nation or the sovereign ought not to suffer the citizens to do an injury to the subjects of another state, much less to offend that state itself. * * "‘ If a sovereign who might keep his sub- jects within the rules of justice sufl'ers them to injure a foreign nation, either in its body or its members, he does no less injury to that nation than if he did it himself. And he further says: Since the sovereign ought not to suffer his E subjects to molest the subjects of other ' states or to do them an injury, much less damage or injury, if possible, or to in- flict on him an exemplary punishment ; or, finally, according to the nature or circumstances of the case, to deliver him up to the ofi'ended state to be there brought to justice. This is pretty generally observed with respect to great crimes which are equally contrary to the laws and safety of all nationsâ€"l Assassins, incendries, and robbers are ‘ seiZed everywhere at the‘ desire of the, sovereign in whose territories the crime .‘ was committed and are delivered up tel justice. The matter is carried stilll further in States that are more closely connected by friendship and good neigh- borhood. "‘ *‘ * "' "' The sovereign who refuses to cause re- paration to be made for the damage done by this subject or to punish the ofi'ender, or, finally, to deliver him up, renders himself in some measure an ac- ’ complice in the injury, and becomes responsible for it.” Vattel has long been considered as the highest authority on questions of International Law; and his book on that subject is considered a standard work byeveryciiwilized nation in the world. The following extract from Vattel, clearly points out the duty of the Amer.ica-n,Govemment in regard to the American Fenians: I trust that your Council, and thei ratepayers of your Municipality, will see the importance of 00- operating with the Government, by assisting as far as they can, in the locating of immigrants, as soon after their arrival as possible. Last season great loss was sustained by agriculturists 10 many parts of the Pro- vince, owing to the insufficiency of iaborers to gather in the harvest. It may not be possible this season to sup- ply, as promptly as may be desired, all I demands that may be made for labor-l era; but the requirements of the several municipalities will be complied with as far .as possible. I beg to direct your attention to my previous circular, and to say that I shall feel obliged if you will, as early as pos- sible, make the required return. Those received last season were of great bene- fit, both to farmers and to the immi- grants, in securing with the least pos- sible’delay laborers for the former, and employment for the latter.

John Carling to the Reeves of the various Municipalities in the Province :--- DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND PUBLIC WORKS, Toronto, May 23, 1870.

In carefully looking over the most authentic reports in relation to the late Fenian invasion, we present the result in the following statistical form : Cana- dian volunteers, none killed, none wound- ed, and none missing. The Fenian army, composed of no one knows how many, had five killed in the two fights, four taken prisoners, twelve wounded, and all the remainder missing, after a campaign of only four days. These are truly great results, and no doubt will call forth the wonder of all succeeding generations. As a matter of fact, the late Fenian invasion was one of the most' stupendous humbugs the world ever witnessed. It would be no easy malte'r to find another village that has risen and thriven so rapidly and so solidly as Hanover, without possessing any natu- ral advantages. The people are indus- trious and frugal. Everybody in Han- over, except an occasional looker-on, or somebody whose whole interest is in at- tending to other peOples’ business, at- tends to their own affairs. Our houses inside and out, are neat and clean, and :our gardens are, as a rule, cultivated with an eye to taste and profit. I am not reflecting on Durham, don’t imagine anything of that kind. It is not my business to make comparisons, but I may say, without reference to any particular place, that dangerous sidewalks, delapi- idated fences, gardens without culture, {and houses going to decay, may be liken- ed to a young man going off in“ cen- sumption. Hanover is quite the reverse of this. ' Fortunately it- is without a lawyer. Our people read their Bibles and interpret them by the aid of com- mon sense, and when they read “ Woe unto you Lawyers -! also; because you load men with intolerable burdens,” they apply it because it fits so exactly to that class of professional men who are known as lanyers. I am afraid that this notice of our village may meet the eye of some of these anglers for a living, and tempt them to atteMpt what Dr. Gunn said in your paper Quack Doctors did, viz: “ make a descent upon the pockets and the vitals” of the communi- ‘ ty. The Hanoverians, I believe, arel not only on their guard, but regard the} absence of a lawyer as a negative good for which they feel grateful. Lawyersl are worse than gossiping old women.â€" The old Creatures have a natural love of mischief, but the lawyers set people at leggerheads solely for the pleasure i and especially the profit of fleecing both ’ parties. It appears to me that without ' much impropriety they might be called legal Fenians. I fear my letter is getting too long. I intended to disease Railway matters. It is about time Hanover should say its say, but time will do justice to Hanover. Durham 1s about played out. When the Angus and Durham extension was knocked endways, Durham was taken in and done for, and now some people are foolish enough to imagine that a. Rail way is going to be taken through the County of Bruce by way of the valley of the Saugeen, at VValkerton; The proper course is through Hanover, then between the counties right through to Cabot‘s Head, with lateral branches to wvsxnau an“ U‘Tm ’O‘OUDU.1\OWDH‘, I have given you some idea of what we are, and What we are tlnnking about at Hanover.

The representatives of all the other municipalities said there was no douht their townships would do their share in seeming the proposed extension; and some thought that as soon as Holiuud and Sullivan gave up hopes of the nar' row gauge they wouid also assist. for 1‘ would benefit them too. Mr Peltman having left Mr Mills replied that there was no doubt the people of Keppel would rather lune the narrow gauge, but if they could not get that, he believed they would assist the Northern extension. Several of the delegates also replied to Mr. Pettman, and wished to know distinctly what Keppcl would do. Tword until they understood that hope!” of the narrow-gauge were given up.â€" Now if any thought that this agitation would injure their prospects of the nar- row-gauge, those from the eastern town ships are willing to go home and wait a year or more till the narrow-gauge scheme is finally settled. Mr. Burnett then went on to combat the as. sertions of Mr. Pettman, that the Nor- thern would not be of benefit to this part of the country, and CODClUtltd by wanting to know whether the people of Koppel or any other of the townships entertained Mr. Pettman'e views, for if they did, it was evident the convention was premature, and should adjourn.

To the first letter 5,, had added a postscript enquiring wlgzg. er the charter for the extension to (in, Sound formerly obtained was stilling, able; and Mr. Cumberland’s answera- ferred only to the postscript, stating that a new charter would have to be ob- tained, but that could be done without dificulty. Wishing to get something more definite he wrote again, and re- ccived a reply a few days ago. Mr. Marsh read the letter ; but as it statei that he was free to make what use of it he liked, except publzsluiag it, we re frain from mentioning what it contained. merely stating that its general tenor was the same as the verbal statement previously made by Mr. Marsh. 1" mm his interviews with Mr. Cumberland, Mr. Marsh was thoroughly satisfied that Mr. Cumberland was sincere.

Mr. Burnett Said it appeared there were some in the Western part of thc county who still held to the opinion that the narrow gauge would come through to Owen Sound.
