During the past week there has been great excitement throughout Canada, in consequence of the invasion of our COun- try by hordes of vagahonds hailing from the land of brother J onathan â€"â€"with whom we haVe been at all times desirous of being on terms of good neighborship. ‘ These good-for-nothiug fellows have had i a taste of camp life in the late civil war ‘ of the United States, and do not appear to be inclined to fall back upon honest pursuits for an occupation,â€"they set to work and get up an organization for thei ostensible purpose of making an eflort to‘ establish a Republic in Ireland (?)â€"but in reality to make war upon the peaceful mad happy homes of Canadians, for most mneorthy purposes. These rascals have ‘no-‘eause of complaint,â€"they simply de- sire to have a row and take their chances :forylunder. We must confess that we thud become so used to the noisy threats '0? these men for some months past, we were quite taken aback at the astound- ing news of Friday, the 1st inst ,as con‘ tained in the Leader extras, the contents of which are by this time familiar to every Canadian, viz :â€"-â€"the landing (at Express. . . . .

These men are laid to have been under the command of a Colonel John O'Neill; during the day it appears that Canal boats, drawn by a tug, were in constant service bringing over these marauders to our shores, until they numbered somewhere about 2,000, They soon commenced operations by plundering the surrounding neighborhood â€"stealing horses and taking whatever else of value they fell in with. As soon as the news reached Toronto the excite. ment became intense. It was stated that Port Sarnia and Windsor, in the extreme western part of Canada, were attacked nlso,â€"but this was soon contradicted.â€" The startling intelligence spread over the country on lightening's flash, and the brave Volunteers of Western Canada 1 were immediately on their way to repulse l the wanton invaders. On the following day, (Saturday, the 2nd) at noon, the “ Queen's Own," of Toronto, and the 13th Battalion, ot Hamilton, were on the ground, and at once set out to meet the foe. This anxiously look-for event took place near a wood on the road to Steven- villc, where Our brave fellows expected to form a junction with the regulars un' der Colonel Peacock, near Chippawa.â€"~ The Fenians were here in large force: lying in ambush; they at once commen- ced the attack upon our men, who braveâ€" ly and promptly returned their fire and with good effect, and kept it up until they had exhausted their forty rounds of ammunition, when it was found necessary to fall back upon the Railway, as our- men were without ammunition and run ningtoo great a risk in proceeding on their march in the face of such odds. It was here that Ensign MoEachren fell, with other brave men whose names will live in the history of Canada as noble de- fenders of our homes and firesides. The same day Colonel Dennis, with a small band of brave fellows, gave the invaders battle at Waterloo, a small village near Fort. Erie,â€"but owing to very great sn- (III): mark firm-lb.

I :For near a half century we have sat at home and read with different degrees of interest of wars and rumors of wars in other lands. For the last four years we have been living almost within hearing distance of the booming of the cannon, during the recent terrible struggle in the neighboring republic; and accounts from Europe inform us, that through the avaricious yearnings of a Prussian Min- ister and the insatiable ambition of a French Emperor, two of the chief mili- tary powers of the old world may soon be engaged in a war which may prove the bloodiest of the nineteenth century, yet as long as its misiles ol devastation and death do not reach our shores our sym- ‘ pathies reach but little farther than our curiosity. But that which immediately concerns ourselves, or menaces anything in connection with us, calls forth all the activity of the Canadian temperament. These remarks have been illustrated with regard to ourselves since our last issue. Fenianism has come to a head, and its first efl'ort to carry out the object of its secret organization, has been tried on Canadian soil. This brings war to our very door. Herc England is to be taught, by Fenian valor, the depth of Fenian patriotism. Many have voted their “ Centres" and their “ Head Centres" and their whole paraphernalia a huge imposture, and were disposed to ridicule alike its colosal proportions and internal weakness. IfFenianism is a hum- bug it is a gigantic one, and its very huge- ness is calculated to alarm. Men of the lowest description of character, gathered from the vilest places under the sun, and lured on by the hope of plunder are not the men to retire to their haunts in peace. Fenianism even in its death throes may cause untold mischief. About 2 o'clock on Saudi} morning, (the 3rd J une,) the enemy commenced to evacuate Fort Erie, and having made signals to two new: tags lying in Buffalo Creek, they were ferried over the river and landed on the American ehore. periority in the numbers of the foe, Col. Dennis found it heééanry to draw his men oEâ€"which he did in a most suc- cessful manner. Great enthneiaam preVails in Montreal and other cities and towns eat ;â€"every possible urangement is being made to meet the foe shonld_he make his appear- ance in Entern Canada. In fact there is but one feeling in the Province on the matter, and that is of indignation, and a firm resolve to be equal to the emer- gency i Let one and all hold himself in readiness to respond to the call of duty -and with e firm dignity show that we prefer soldieru‘ graves to the embraces of invading hordes of plunderere and mur- derers. . When we considered the vast sums of money which has been thrown into the Fenian exchequcr, and the earnestness of its contributors, we could not but come to the conclusion that something would be done were it for no other object than the satisfying to some degree the patrio_ tie feelings of the thousands who really did devote their earnings for their coun- try‘s cause. No sane man could for a moment suppose that situated as the Fonians areâ€"in a country where the 1 building of a single vessel for belligerent 1 purposes would be violative of interna- ‘ tional principles that they could : raise a fleet even of suflicent capacity to convey a few thousand men to their na- tive shores. But the money was receivâ€" ed and action was expected from the recipients. Canada is the only alterna- tive, and to Canada they came. We can no more understand how they intend to free Ireland by attacking Canada ‘ than we can the erection of an Irish Re- ‘ pubiic within an American one. We suppose the second blunder was akin to first. If they thought they could gain an easy victory, and make Canadian teri- tory the basis of operations against the mother country, they reckoned without their host. Nothing short of our exter- mination would have tolerated their usurpation, and already they have had some proof that Stephen's remark was correet when he said that “ war with Canadafivas a suicidal act." If it was an honourable warfareâ€"one people going to war with another, having just cause of quarrel~the late invasion might be justified on the plea that the right ought to be defended, but when a horde of idle â€"-homeless-mpoverty-stricken outcasts, which form the mass of the floating p0. pulation of the larger cities of the ad- jacent Republic , a herd of destitute -â€"-criminalâ€"-nnd half famishcd mis- creants, who are a Curse :to every seaport -â€" a disgrace to the very purlieus from which they have emergedâ€"who have all to gain and nothing to lose-whose Very existence hangs like a ragged filthy fringe on the skirts of civilization ; invade a people at ‘ peace among t‘aemselres and with all the The Fe ninn Invasion. world, indignation takes possession of the‘, will, and every citizen becomes at heart a volunteer. In this spirit the invasion has been met. With national and, we hope, with pardonable pride, we have always looked with pleasure on our galâ€" lant volunteers. Drawn from the best families and having homes to protect, they will prove their country’s bulwark in its hour of trial. Up to Saturday last it has been a time of preparation and of drill, but when the news flashed across the wires that a foe had realy landed on our shores the time had come for action, The volunteers were ready. The same spirit pervaded every mind, and a stern and determined resistance to the lawless crew had possession of every heart. ‘Var on our own soil, and at our own doors, is a' new thing to the inhabitants of Canada. Fifty years peace has a tendency to make a. nation forget the rules of military tactics but British pluck and British valor, as manifested at Fort Erie, and Lime Bridge-is as available as ever and the question ‘ Will Canada de- fend itself’ will evidently be solved in the aflirmative. On the receipt of the news in our vil- Iago that our homes and institutions were endangered by the advance guard of the Fenian army, the anxiety to hoary the reception they met with became in« tense. As is generally the case in times or excitement rumors of the most redi- ‘ culous character were readily listened to and believed by the eredulous, but as the ‘ Dcspatches’ came to hand and were read to the various groups of anxious listeners, waiting in front of the Hotels, and this Oflice, for the “ latest" the prompt action of the military authorities, and the gallant conduct of our volunteers in repelling the invaders calmed to some extent the excitement. We are notrso sanguine as to suppose that we have had the last of their raiding op- erations, but the stern front of determined resistance which has been presented, will in agveat measure lessen the fervor of Fe-- nian patriotism, and retributive justice meted out to those who have fat’len into our hands, who have wantean stained Canadian soil, with Canadian blood, will ihave awholesome influenee in checking 3 the ambition of others who maybe think- ;ing of seeking for military adventures ‘ among ,a people jealous of their rights, l and British privilegess In accordance with the notice cfi’a Public meeting, for the purpose ofgiving our fellow townsmen an opportunity of displaying their devotion to our beloved Queen and country at this critical perâ€" iod, a large and enthusiastic gathering of the bone and sinew of our village, took place at the Hotel of Mr. Robert Rayâ€" mond, on Tuesday evening last. ‘ The meeting was called to order at 8 o’clock, and on unanimous motion, Mr. J. XV. Fitzmaurice was called to the chair, and Mr. W. S. Pollock appointed Secretary. The chairman in a few brief and patri- otic remarks in which the position of af- fairs was glanced at, and also the urgent necessity for each and everyr one, who professed attachment to his country or called himself a. Briton, to show that this profession was no empty boast, by deeds as well as wordsâ€"then proceeded to the business of the meeting. Owing to the highly praisworthy efiorts of our towns- men Messrs Whitehead and Mathie, the Roll had been well circulated. and the results was the goodly number of sixty- eight names, almost all of which were present. The meeting then proceeded to the election of officers and here a ques- tion arose as to Whether the company should be known as Volunteer Infantry or Home Guards. A compromise was however efieeted by the adoptingr the form of the first mentioned with the du- ties of the latter, and here we might re mark that although this may be consider- ed by some as a grave error still we fail ‘ to see it as such, as both views may be carried out and the wishes of each party gratified.

PUBLIC MEETING- or, fi‘ileast the primary branches of both drill and manual ‘exercise ; no one we conclude would wish to be sent to meet a well trained foe like the scoundrels at peesent on our frontiers. To obtain the necessary instructions at present would perhaps be difficult, and the only way to obviate this difliculty would be to take advantage of such instructors as we may have among us. There are several indi- viduals in our vicinity, who are themselves masters of the art and who could perhaps be secured if spoken too in time, under all circum- stances if we intend to strike oil we must drill, let the officers of the Company at least put themselves in communication with the authorities, and perhaps a drill instructor may be obtained from the Reâ€" gular Service, and our Company No. 2 soon be able to Bank With its Brethern in armsâ€"provided it does not perish in embrio as did its unfortunate predeces sor, we wish our military friends every success, and shall note from time to time the profieency they make.

The menwvere young some (fitlxcm, mere boys, all of the lowest class of‘ Irish Catholics, and: nearly all of them had been in the Northern or Southern 'armies-dux-ing the late war. They were thoroughly accustomed to the rifle and. to military manwuvres, and were, as a rule, daring to a. remarkable degree. They had no cumon, no knapsacks, no Waggons, 01 permanent stock of military stores ofany kind, but they had good rifles and revolvers witlvthe United States Government mark, and enough ammunition fora short time. They had no uniforms and were ragged and dirty. but did not make worse light infantry 0n the account.

On Saturday morning early the main ‘body broke up their camp,- andi calling in :their outposts, marched with activity in the direction of Port Colberne; on the Welland Canal. They had moved up eight or nine- ‘miles from Fort Erie,a\'heii they encountered the advance guard of a force ofi Volunteers less than 300 strong, under the'c‘ommandlof Colonel Brooker, of the 13th Battalion of Hamilton Vonltecrs, who had that“ regi- ment \V.Hl1'l1lfll, the Qheen’s Own of Toronto" a'id'the' York and Caledonia: companies.

The Feniuns then advanced with some vigour and extending their wings, endeavoured to out-flank our men. And here occurred a. mishap incident to all newly raised troops. A cry was mised that cavalry were coming The commending ollicer Ordered his men to from in square, a proper proceeding had there been any cavalry near, but the very reverse of what was made to outllank. The order were speedily corrected, but the troops were in some confusion, and some of the de- tached companies in the rear began to re- tire. The alarm spread to a portion ofthe 13th battalion, and they began to fall duck. Their ofiiccrs endeavoured to prevent them vigorously ; the Queen’s Own, who occupi- ed the advauce held their own firmly, even connncncing to extend their wings, to meet the flanking movement of the enemy. The rear troups having retired, however, it be- a mile. At this momem the Fenians in their n tr :at reached a 1151 1: ground covered with large trees. and here the Fenian Header came necessary for itnlso to retrogade, and behaved with distinguished bravery, ordered pretregade movement. The, men turned, however, every new and then, and fired upon the enemy, kept well in line, and speedily formed up, when brough intro confusion :l)y the rapid pace and the uneven ground. The Fenian showed no desire to pursue them, but followed only to the place where the contest commenced. \Vedo not like to individualize where all did well, but the Highland company is said to have been specially firm in checking the advance of the enemy.

It is said that T the American authorities will let the rank i and tile go, but will holdthe leaders to an- swer for a breach of their . neutrality laws.

The bloodi of those who have fallen will not. be shed in vain if it keeps alive in the breast ofthea Canadian people the courage and determination which we have received from our forefathers, and which never were more conspicuously dis- played than during the last three days. While the volunteer force, by their nearneSs to the scene efaciion, were the first to meet the raiders, the relrular troops displayed all their wellknown characteristic virtues. The ,order and regularity of their movements. the excellent plans and dispositions of the forces, were the fsubjects of the warmest admiration of all who were close to the scene of operations in the field. We only regret that circumstances, entirely unavoidable, did not permit the raiders to come within range of the rifles of the gal- lant 47th and-16th, or that Splendid light infantry regiment, the 60th Rifles, nor of the shells of gallant Col. Hostc’s Arm- strongs. There would nave been no doubt- ful result in that event. “ What will they say in England 7” has often been asked during the last three days. It will be'said, we doubt not, that Canadians are worthy sons of noble sires, and that with the regulars for a backbone. and the volun- teers supplying the rest of the framework, Canada. is safe from all mvadera from v» heresoever they may come.
