New York, May 10. Captain Mc-; Blune, of the British steamer Wentworth, from Windsor to this port, reports that on the 2d inst. a Vessel was seen off Grau, Maine, by a party of 60 men, under command of Colonel Kellog, who said they were Fenians. They scuttled the fishing craft they were in, and after keeping .possession of the Wentworth about four hours landed at a place called Brady's Mistake. They acted in a very orderly manner, doing no damage to either the vessel or crew after they left. Capt. McBlune resumed command and proceeded on his voyage. . ;: .f. FROM AN FRANCISCO. San Francisco, May 6 A special messenger arrived yesterday -at Los Angelos, bringing a dispatch from the commander of Fort Grant to General Mason, announcing that Fort Goodwin, Oregon, had been taken by 2,000 Indians, and the garrison, numbering 124 men, massacred, with one excep
tion, and the tort burned. 1 he man who escarped was out hunting at the
time, and witnessed the commotion at
a distance, lie saw the ion Durnmg,
nd heard the firms of euns. It last
ed nearly an hour. It is supposed the Indians gained .admission to the fort under the pretext of entering into a treaty of peace, which General Mason
had instructed the commander to
make.

The-further investigation into the
affalns of the -Merchants' National
Bank, of this city, extend, the more, the complete rottenness of the concern is exhibited. It has transpired, that in addition : to the .' Government losses already published, there were $250,000 deposited by T. B. Hobbs, the disbursing clerk of the Treasury Department. The indications are that the wreck is complete, and the depositors will get little or nothing. J " Secretary Harlan has directed an examination as to how many clerks in the Interior Department were drafted here and put in a plei of non-residence, with the intention of substi
tuting discharged Soldiers for them; . The Heralds special says unfavorable comment is excited here by the fact of Paymasters and. others having Qch large sums deposited to their pwn credit and which they undoubt
edly use in some .way as temporary loans and otherwise. Several millions are; reported to be thus on deposit with National Banks in this city t almost within stone's throw of the Treasury vaults. ,; i j: '. -LWell informed persons in regard Jo the matter, insist that not less thaa 500 cows died in this district and its vicinity within the , last ,six months from the disease known as the cattle plague.

As there is but one power-press

city, both the JJemofcrat and Courier have been printed' upon it. When
the Courier was established, we took
a lease UDon the tvre. presses and al
material owned by them and formerly
known as the Tunes omce, ana we marie an arrangement with this man to
print the Demokrat at less than hafj
the usual price of press work! We printed his (then) tri-weekly and

press under the lease, which provided that the Demokrat was te be published noon it. This was Tseeessarv: for as

rapers to print the Courier and the Demokrat and while we paid out
135 50 0 have the press run, we reeived only seven dollars per week
irom the Demokrat, and their paper was better printed than ever before,
s the man uptrorer asserted. We
thought this very low, but it was the
est we could do, although we learned
that they had paid the Times pub-
ishers $12 per week, and the Dsxitch publishers about $15. We were
desirous of getting along with this individual peaceably if we could; but upon every concession on our part
more was demanded, oince the Demo
crat has been a daily, we have charged
Ihem 1Z per week tor their issues, imd have sent a man to their office for
Ihe forms, printed them, and then returned them regularly, although' it osts us half as much as we receive j'rom. them for : that service. Now, it happened, as we learn, that one night, some days ago,, after the forms of the Demokrat were returned to the
back door of their office, and the carr rier had left, some ' scamp kicked the form down and pied it. Our carrier
delivered it safely, but after he left it
was thrown down and pied, and hence
great deal ; or sympathy has been
gotten--up tor this occurrence, lhe
toreman ot the Demoicrai states tnat he saw the form where it was left in good order, after it was delivered; but
the grasping proprietor, wno now iias
in his possession more of the old Times
office than we have;' under a lease covering it all. wants the entire or partial
control of the press while in our pos

we are paying a large rent,' in order that he mav annoy us and cause us
