THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHGLE NO. 10,820. FENIANS. Continued Excitement Along : the Border. ‘are ready to corAmonce operations at the first sign of an attack. Ear! works are still being thrown up at Campo- bello, and reparations of all kinds going on for the de fence of tle island, Wild and not unfrequently very Tidiculows schemes are being made to delay the arri- val of Fenian baggage, which, however, is moving slong, Telegrams from New Brunswick show that there is a crisis in the British Ministry, and that the Irish element will resist by force, if necessary, the comple- tion of the government’s confederation scheme, De- serters continue to pour in from all the western towns along the border, and proclamations are being issued by the resident Republican Committee of St. John to avoid the scheme of confederation by the government, <i FENIANISM AMONG THE TROOPS, From the recent develapments in the shape of deser- tions from the British troops it would appear that Feniauism has eaten its way far into the army along the border, where the movement has many warm sympa- thizers, The Fenian circles now represont a front of gome seventy miles, and numbers are pouring in every hour tothe ferent ints, ae A few smugglers of this side are acting in concert with the British Consul, endeavoring to check the oj of the Fenians, and the terror of losing some of their ill- gotten goods is only too plain to be seen in thelr expres. sions of admiration for the “mild” government of England and the “glorious British constitution.’? WHERE HAVE THE PENIANS THEIR ARMS? One of the most surprising things In connection with the it state of Fenian affairs is tho fact thatof the numbers who have arrived here no arms of any kind can be seen with therm. Since their arrival their orderly and good conduct is commencing to win the respect of the inhabitants of Eastport, who at first regarded them ‘as a pet of savages, but who are now finding that they had been mistaken. The Fenians amuse themselves pit ying at cards al! day in their lodging bouses, without oither drinking or pppling They soem to be under the most fect discipline, and are prompt in obeying whatever structions they receive from their superior officers, Ail are most ansious. for an immediate blow and seem quite satisfied with the pi ts of success, Still there oxisis tho same amount of mystery in connection with their movements. They hold secret conventions, and there ig one in session now as I write, Where are the arms? everybody asks, and this qnestion seems greatly to amuse the Fenians.” The prevailing opinion feta the arms are hid im large quantities in some of the woods near tho coast of Maine, Still upon this question, as upon all others, everything is mystery. Whether this movomont is intended simply as a ruse to divert atten- tion from another quarter, or whether the Fenian forces are only waiting till they shall have arrived here in sufficient numbers to make Campobello, St. John and the towns coast of the British provinces, and bri hves'on aud revolution home to the very doors of that government which tortured for so many years the poblest spirits ever known to Ireland, no one can aa yet tell, Hore, among the Fenian groups, sitting round tho wioves n their lodging houses, the old, sad stories of past Ji'sh str gales are told and listened to with that peculiar interest wnteg shows how sensitive the Irish are, even still, of the wronvs and cruelties of England in ages long = by. Fenianism may be regarded by many as a on, and a money-making hombug; but the more one ‘Moots with the men of the organization, from the Head Centre down to the humblest momber, the more dis- tinc:ly can it be seen that ft springs from a kind of pa- triotism aud a burning thirst for revenge.

He raid he had called them out to goto the frontier on nemenpeey which bad suddenly been created by the thi ned attack of a gang of sconndre!s who were reported to be on their way to invade the province, He knew their devotion to their country and hoped that they would conduct themselves with all regard for the discipline which they had learned asa Peers but whieh they could now put to serions and important use, As for their gallantry, he was fully arsured of that. Their active services’ might not be required; but if the affhir wns a hoax it was one of the most serious that had ev been concocted. He concluded with the wish that would see them all back again in a fow days, with the cause of the emergency removed.

Although traffic has been partially resumed upon the ‘various lines of city railroads, the strike still continues, ‘and in no caso have any of the drivers returned to their duty, The difficulty in either reaching the city in the morning or returning home in the evening was as great as on the previous days. There wero some fow cars ranping op each of tho lines, but altogether unsuflicient for the wants of the public, and the samo weary pedes- triang were seen upon the avenues during the evening. The public are justly indignant at the conduct of the com- panies, whom they stigmatize as ‘mean,’ ‘miserly’? &c, From present indications there seems to be not the slightest chance of resumption of the ordinary peaceable and orderly traffic.
