At an early hour Tuesday morning "warrants were issued by the United States Commissioners at Buffalo, commanding the United States Marshals to apprehend tho Fenian of& cers on bonrd the steamer Michigan, and bring them before the Commissioners for examination. when it will be decided whether they shall be held for examination before Judge llall. The complaint charges them with conspiracy and violation of the neutrality luws, to which they will likely plead guilty.

The Canadians have about one hundred Fenian prisoners, of whom one-half arc doubtless civilians, cs arrests were made indiscriminately. The city is being evacuated by the troops, and they are likely en route to some other point of attack.

Fort Erie, captured by tho Fenians and retaken by the Canadians, is a village opposite Black Rock, and in Bight of Buffalo, on the Canada side of Niagara River. There is a small fort there, built in 1827, but long since dismantled and unoccupied. The place was captured by Scott in 1811, who advanced on Chippewa the next day, where on tho 5th of July, he achieved adecisivo victory.

Tim latest news indicates that the Fenian invasion of Canada has collapsed.

HOOD'S Emporium is the placo to buy your boots and shoes.

1IAVI.NO a little leasure time, wo took a ride over the Crawfordsville and Darlington turnpike, and was pleased to find that it was being pushed rapidly forward, and will be, when completed, one of the best, if not the very best roads in this section of the State. The gentlemen engaged in this enterprise certainly deserve much praise, notwithstanding somo of our business men are of a different opinion. The business men of Lafayette, with ono accord, arc holding out every inducement for the construction of gravel roads, and are at work, at this time, trying to build a road from Darlington, (ono of the termini of this road) to their city. They havo nlready secured the right of way through Tippecanoe county, and will, we understand, petition the Commissioners at this term, for the right of way through Montgomery county. Tims we see, Lafayette is building a net work of railroads and turnpikes all around our city, while our business men, with a few honorable exceptions be it said to their glory, are sitting quietly in the shado waiting for something to turn up, and if they will remain quiet, since they will notencourago such enterprises, they will see something turn up in the shapo of a flourishing city, made so by tho very enterprises they tried to defeat. Theso turnpikes arc the only means by which wo can secure the trade that, justly belongs to this city, and and we say for one, God spare and protect our enterprising men. and if the cholera must havo its victims, let it. take those who arc in tho way of all improvements.

How the Abo's of Union Township Regard the Soldiers. A few of tho negro-suffrage fratornity gathered in tho Court Houeo on last Saturday afternoon and hold a township meeting. Tho name of Lieut. L. Spark?, of Kiploy township, being mentioned in con neetion with tho ofBco of Sheriff, a noisy, blatent. erackod-brainod follow of tho Parker Pillsbury. Anna Piekerson and Frod Douglas porsuasion, jumpod to his feet and stated thait Sparks was not sound on tho negro question, that he wwlerstood that ho now supported President Johnson, atxl had boasted he would havo voted for gonoral MeClcllan had he boon at homo from his regiment on the last Presidential election.

The fact that this gallant scldier. had expressed, while at tho front, a dosiro to voto for] thejhero Antiotam was sufficient tod—n him.

For tho Cra^fordirille Koview FREDEEICKSUURO, Juno 4, 18C6. Mr. EDITOR:—I have seen in the Crawfordsville Journal & statement that your correspondent, from this place, is a "copperhead." These are the slang phrases that will be hurled at Johnson men and Democrats during the coming caujpaign. Let them come—they will fall still-born upon the soldiers, coming as they do, as you say, from the "negro equality" party. I have been put in posses&ion of facts, which I can prove, and 1 wish you to give publicity to them in regard to this ogre of a man, who dares to attack Union soldiers—P. S. KENNEDY—whom you have given his appropriate name as "Weeping Peter." The name was given him by C. NAVB,- of Hendricks county, and it has stuck to him, I see, faster than a bur. The first case in Court he wept, ond actually wont into a briny liquidation and has remained so ever siuco, and so ridiculous was his appearance, with his churchyard mouth full of rotten grave stories—like KKE.NEY'S—that it will follow him to the grave. "Weeping Peter" entered the three months' service as a Lieutenant in Company "A," 7th Reg. Iud. Vols. his Captain was JAMES BURUISS. You perceive, Mr. Editor, that I give names. Burgiss is now an ex-Colonel. At the battle of l'hillippi, "Weeping Peter"' was ordered to the front, when he stated he was too "tired" to go. Substitute "cowardly" for "tired," and you have a true idea of "Peter's" renson for not going to the "front." At Laurcll Hill, in Virginia—where there was no battle fought— when the rumor came that there would be some fighting, "Weeping Peter" got weak in the knees so much so that lie could not stand, and was carried off to the rear by Private Crimss of Company "A," 7th Reg. Ind. Vols. You see I give names, and am ready to prove what I assert. "Weeping Peter" was deposited safely in a fence corner by the before mentioned Private Curtiss. "Peter" considered.himself safe from danger, and beneath the shadow of the rails, crowed most lustily. I know that this same Curtiss, who carried "Peter from the field—when the same "Peter" would have rather eaten his sword than drawn it, and whose heart did then, and would now, tluttcr at the sound of a drum—is now a Captain, and lives in Marion county. I further asseri, iimt if "WoopJng peter" denies this, thai, the affidavit of Curtiss can be obtained substantiating these facts, and irrevocably fixing these charges upon him.

If "Weeping Peter" will call upon the solliers to vote the "negro-equality ticket," let him show a record wherein dastardly cowardice docs not figure so prominently.

Perhaps General DUMONT, Republican member of Congress from the Indianapolis District, can give "Peter" a further endorsement.

Yours, A JOHNSON REPUBLICAN.

P. S. In proof of these facts, who ever heard, in Montgomery county, that "Weeping Peter'' had attempted to be a soldier?

[From tho Cincinnati Enquirer 1 THE FENIAN WAR.

IBTMIOM or Canada—Letter from a Well-known cm elniwt««i.-TI»e Late Battle-A. Authentlc ATO^

We havo received the following letter from a well-knowu Cincinnatinu, who ia now with the Fenian invaders of Canada. He has had better opportunities of knowing the history of the events of the last week then any othor correspondent that has yet written from the Canada border, he having been personally engugud in eauh battle.

BUFFALO. June 3, ltoa.

To the Editors of tho Cincinnati Enquiror: I take pleasure in sending you a correct statemeut of the two battles that your humble servant was at in Canada, which came off on June 2. We left Buffalo at three o'clock A. M„ June 1, and took possession of Fort Erie without one shot being fired. We then took possession of Waterloo, two miles from there. The people left every thing in their stores, and started for Chippewa. We remained there until dark, when we struck camp for Chippewa, burning bridges and destroying telegraph wires as,we went. We marched about ten miles on that road and started west to Ridgeway, a town coutaiuing about three hundred good British subjects. We got there about ten o'clock on the morning of the 2d, or at least two miles this side of town, when we threw out our skirmishes. At half past ten o'clock the battle commenced.

The enemy had one regiment of regulars, called the Queen's Own, about 1,000 strong and 1,500 volunteers, in all 2,500 men. Our force amounted in all to 750 men. When the battle commenced we were about four hundred yards apart. Our breat-works were the fences, and they had breastworks. We held our position for one hour, and then made a feint to draw them out of their works, aud fell back about four hundred yards they then left their breastworks and we formed our line of battle in a large orchard. ith a fence about five hundred yards in length. We only fired two rounds, when the order to fix bayonets was given. We were then ordered to charge, which we did, with one of those terrific yells which all Americans are acquainted with, but John,yy Jinll is not then the regulars gai*c way, the volunteers following them, and such a scene baffles all description. They threw away guns, knapsacks, cartridge boxes, hats, coats, aud even the band threw away their instruments. We run them about four miles, but they were better runners than we were, on account of not having to march all day and night.

We killed about fifty. The wounded, I think, were about one hundred. Our loss was three killed and sixteen wounded. Among them is young Scully, from our city and a braver or hotter soldier never was killed in battle. Cincinnati Irishmen can be proud of him, and he ought to be an example for them for if there was ever a man who died braver than hiui, I do not know him. Also, Thomas Rafferty. Poor fellow! The last words he said were to give his Bible to Nicholas Russell. John Lynch is severely wounded in the leg. I do not think he will live.

We then destroyed the telegraph wires on tho Grand Trunk Railroad. Wc then got word from Erie that fifty of our men were to be hung that evening.

We had taken about one hundred prisoners. Among them wns one Colonel, one Lieutenant-colonel, and one Captain —the three last-named we brought with us the others we paroled, and then started to Fort Eric on a double-quick, and reached that place at half past four the same evening, marching somo twelve miles in three and a-half hours. There were about sixty of their regulars there, with a gunboat in front of the town. We set out onr pickets, aud found the rogulars breaking for the gunboat. Wc started on a double-quick, and before the boat could reach the shore wc commenced firing on her, and made her go out in the stream, out of reach of our o-mnj. Thc officers and sergeants, to the number of twenty-five, got into a house, barricaded the doors, and commenced firing on our men in front of the house. Pff|

We then broke down the doors, and commenced firing into the house from the street, We found that it would take too much ammunition in that way. So wc got a torch to burn the house, and that brought the Johnnies down, and they gave themselves up as prisoners of war. We got forty prisoners in tho house, among them several officers, as they were the first to run in the house.

Wo had another complete victory' for the Fenians on the same day, but on a smaller scale. Wc killed ten and wounded about twenty. Some have since died of their wounds. Wc lost three killed and seven wounded.

Last night we had been reinforced by about three hundred men, who left Buffalo and landed at the fort. About eleven P. M. we received news of them having two bflttcrries and about 4,000 men.

We then started to evacuate and get all our men on two tugs, with twocanal-boats When wc got out in the middle of the stream the United States gunboat Michigan fired at us and made our boats come to, and took a,ll our men prisoners. jVIost of them are getting off by taking French leave.

We leave here to-morrow. The place of our destination we hold private for the present, but you shall hear from mo in a few days. Our men are in good spirits an eager for another fight, and they will get it in a few days.

The War Cloud in llurope. The armaments of Austria aud Prusia are etibrmous. The Vienna correspondent of the Lorfdorf Time's, dated May 12, contains the following:

The armaments of Austria are'colloasal, and in the coursc of a few weeks she xoill have 900,000 mc-n in the field. Each of,the eighty regiments of the line, which are now on a full war footing, is composed of four thousand^ and odd men, and two or three days ago an order was issued for tho levy of a fifth battallion for each regiment. Each of the thirty-two 'Jaeger battallions, which are very strong, is to have two depot companies. Yesterday morning a regiment of hussars, which had been in garrison here for some time, left for Prague, and a great crowd of people accompanied it to the Northern Railway Station. As the regiment crossed the Aspern-brucke (a new suspension bridge across the canal of the Danube) its band played the famous Rakoczi march, a piece of music which for many years was prohibited both here and in Hungary. As the regiment passed along the Jacgcrzeile, flowers and wreaths were thrown to them from the windows of the houses, and many a fair dame loudly bade them 'good speed.'

The Austrian idea is to act on the defensive against Prussia. The Berlin correspondence of the London Times, May 12, has this information "The direct appeal in the interests of peace which this Court intended to make to the Emperor of Austria a few days ago has been really forwarded. It lias, however, led to no result. 1 consequenco of this fresh disappointment, the Landwehr reserve, has been called to arms. This adds another seventy-five thousand men to the Prussian army, which, in the course of a fortnight, will thus have been raised to the enormous total of five hundred thousand men. Orders have been issued to subject to medical inspection all young men born since 1S38, and pass over for some reason or other in former conscriptions. A hundred thousand men can be easily levied from among this numerous class."

The Florence letter of the Times of the 10th says: '•The Italian papers daily cite instances of patriotic enthusiasm manifested in various ways, \oung men of good families, especially in Lombardy, continually join the army as volunteers". The Duchess isconti brought her three sons to ask for service. If they could not be received in the regular arniv, they would join the Garibaldians."

The Florence correspondent of the Journal dc/t Debut a saj's: ''Italy no longer considers herself as bound by the engagement which she took not to attack Austria, as that undertaking could not be eternal. At present it is considered obsolete, and, in fact, the official nomination of Garibaldi is an act of war. For form's sake, the pretense-is still kept up that it is a defensive measure but nobody looks on stick an explanation seriously. The King is to take the command of the army on the 15th, first establishing Jus headquarters at Piaccnza." "t18,5""

A Genoa letter, of May &, says swftj "The decisive step has been takci/by the Government, and Garibaldi and his volunteers are called to the war. The decree bears date the 6th, but was not published until yesterday evening. Add to this that the Opxnionc, of Florence,— semi-official organ—declares that the alliance between Ital}' and Prussia is a fixed fact, that each will regard an attack upon the othor as an attack upon herself, and you see how fruitless must be any efforts for peace. Austria must yield the Duchics of the Elbe, and yield Yenicc, or fight Italy and Prussia."

A Florence letter, dated May 10, says: ''The Italian army, when complete— that is to say, with all its reserves called out—may be estimated at 430,000 men. Of these about 200,000 are believed to be now in the field, not massed close along the frontier, but so distributed as to be immediately available should hostilities commence." .A Paris letter (Mny ,13) to^tlic London a "It Appears that the Emperor speaks freely with some of his military household on the present state of a flairs. He expressed his belief that war is all but inevitable. France is neutral, of course but it shall go hard with her if she does not reap some advantage from it—something to compensate her for her sufferings in other times. "It is said that French officers, who have recently examined the military resources of Prussia and the organization of her army, report that there is not much chance of her success in a campaign against Austria and her Gcrmin auxiliaries—in fact, that Prusia is no match for her rival."

A JIAD now OF STUMPS.—Out of the eighteen persons sentenced this morning by Judge Lowry, only two of the number are Democrats. The remainder were members o-f the God and humanity party, but will be deprived of the right of suffrage in the coming electio-n. That party will soon have to import »rggers to keep up their quota. Tho two Democrats were Lull and Knight. How are you Abes? —•Fort Wayne Democrat, 2d.

AN exchange mentions as a singular fact that while the Parliament of Great Britain is about to enfranchise four hundred thousand English subjects, the Congress of the United States is seeking to disfranchise twice as many free born American sonrriyns.

Trial or Jeff. DavK

"Harpers Weekly, (radical) can not see what possible good is to come from the trial of Jeff.' I^avis. It claims that1 'his offense is political, and no reasouing can persuade men to regard political offenses as crimes th&t'if convicted'* ho would not be hung for 'to- han£ Iiim would be an error as large as to try him that 'to-day he' is a baffled conspirator, aud practically the deadest of dead men but 'hang him and he becomes a living power to sedition, and an eterhal rtfmorse to the county.' Don't this square with sense?"—Statesman.

Harper is becoming sensible. W*e likened the case of Davis, the other day, to that of Wolverton in the 8th Blackford, who was indicted for perjury, and who had sworn to a fasehood but tho falsehood grew out of an erroneous censtructiou of a written instrument, and the court held he could not be convicted of a crime in such case. ...

Now, Davis believed, on hia construetion of the Constitution for the' United' States, that States had a righ t'to secede. That was a constitutional, a political opinion, and was the doctrine held and taught by the Republican party. Senator Wade of Ohio expressly says this. In a speech in the United States Senate he said:

"I am not one of those who would ask jthem (the Southern States.) to fcbhtinue jin such a I'nion. Pt wxnild'be doing viojlencc to the piatfbrm of the' party to which I belong.- We havo adopted the old Declaration of Independence as the ibasis ofour political movements, whicji declares that men, Viien their governnieiit ceases to protect their rights*, wheu it is so subverted from the true purposes of government as to oppose them, havo the right to recur to fundamental principles, and, if need be, to destroy the goveminent under which they live and' to' erect on its ruins another more conducive to their welfare. 1 hold that they have ithis right whenever they think the eonI tingencv has come. You cannot forcibly hold men in this Union, for the attempt to do so, it seems to me, would su^ ert the first principles of the government under which we live."

This was the opinion' of dliasc, and, Wade says, of the party to which he beponged, viz: the1 republican party. 'Ibis being tie opinion held, Davis acted upon it, a»d, with the Southern States peacefully seceded. The war the South made afterwards was not to overthrow tho

Government of the United States, but to maintain that of the Confederate States. Aud if, as the Republicans held it was legal for the South to establish it, it wart

D(yt

wong to fight to maintain it. This proposition is too plain to be disputed by: anybody. the Constitution says a man shall not be tried twice for the samo thing. Now, all agree we hear it all the time,, that the question of tho right of secession was tried by the war, and decided against it. It was a disputed constitutional question, and was tried and decided by the war. Then why try it over again in the person of Davis?

Wc, however, hope Davis will be tried by a court, of sufficient legal learning:1 and probity to honestly lay down and settle the law.—Indianapolis Herald.
