The initiatory of the campaign, however, which fought yesterJay just across the border from Fairfield was not a very auspl- ous beginning, and where there was conddence, Courage and euthusiasm there 13, now little else inan chagrin, sorrow and indigna ion, The war is not to ‘be wholly abandoned, nowever, unless trough the Anterference of, the federal aujnurties, alihouga the ®cenc’of activity will be transierred to.other potnis along the border. ps THE DEFEATED ARMY. ‘The rout of the Feutaus at the Cook Corners, battle Yesterday was'most complete, and by daylight this Morning the whole miniature crmy of 1es3 than two. Bindred men was en route to this town, and they Sre now lounging avout the streets in a most pitia- ‘Die condition. Some are discouraced, all are Indignant, and few @re anxious to join the other branchys of the in- vading forces when the prospects of success are more roasona»'e, The men jusuly bifme General O'Neill for n‘s indiscretion tu putting thom agatnst a superior, well Intrenched force, and his loyalty to Fentanism and devotion to the welfare of his com- mand are very sharply criticized. % THE BRITISH TROOPS numbered ahout 200, being composed alrout half of Volunteers and the other half of armed citizens living in the immediate vicinity. ‘they were pro- tected not only by a dense forest, but by hundreds of ponderous and impregnable rocks, and had the addl- Uonal advantage of elevated position, which, claim Many of the Fenians, with good reason, myzht ave been oftset by a similar ccign of advantage on their part. .Hiher through stupidity or ignorance Gone'al O'Neill neglected to improve the natural g@ivantages of position which he assumed, and formed his men in column of fours in the bighway. NEITHER DISCIPLINE NOR GENERATLSHIP. } ‘The freedom from restraints of military discipline ‘Which has. characterized the movements of the Penian troops was most glaringly exiubited in this fustance. Although the attacking party were well ofthe number of their antagonists and the Btreagth of their position, they yet neglected to take even the common experience, of military tife, ‘The adyance guard consisted of but three wen, who Marched but six feet in advance of the main body, Gnd the entire force wera buddied wyertiet Uke BO Mauy sheep. Every availuole max was pressed into activity and there were no’ reserves on, which to fall back for suport, Whon all was ready for the slaughter General O'Neill, true to his reputation, commi'ted what was perhaps the greatest blunder ofthe Fenian campaign. Instead of deploying his men as skirmishers aloug the line, which afforded every facility for employment of such 2 force, and even intrenching them behind the rock fences, bark piles and buildings “which abounded, he gave the e@rder to charge in soid column on the heights above. The occasion reminded one foreibiy of the fatal movements upon Fredericksburg during the war of the rebsl'lon, except that 1n the present in- stance the stronger force occupied the more forml- dable position, The men slowly but steadily moved forward, their commander deftly taking himself out of the way and placing the whole of a big house before his body to” avoid the the danger which might arise from builets which were expected from the brow of the opposite hill, The Canadians, however, had calculated thetr’ chances with care, Every point of the situation hat been carefully weighed, and they were deter. mined that whatever others might do there s@bould be no charges of violation of the neu- trality laws preferred against them. Accordingly Shey waited patiently till the last man passed over the line, and then the firing commenced. One volley from the muskets of the Canadian troops, which by the way, made Jonn Rowe the first victim of the cam- Paign,spread consternation among the Fenian troops, and they scattered like chickens in search of a shelter from the rain, Some of them found harbor+ ‘age beltind tho stone fences with which the locality abounds, Others laid themselves down behind the piles of bark, while an unfortunate few, headed by Brigadter General J. J. Donnelly, of Utica, sought protection within the walls of an old barn atthe right of the road. A scattering fire ‘Was then instituted, with no effect on efther side. ‘ O'NEILL AGAIN COMES FORWARD. Finally some of the Fenian officers uring of this dilatory method of doing business, unearthed Gen- eral O'Neill and demanded permission to charge upon the bill im front. Tols request ‘was peremptoriiy refused. Sensible, bow- ever, of the fact that something must be done to rouse the wanting spirit of his men General O'Neill Ordered a retrogade march to the top of the hill, and here again he dispiayed his utter want of military lactics, as weil a3.a total dis- regard for the lives of his men, There ‘were methods of reaching the summit which ought to have been manifest to the merest novice. Even before the opening* of the fight. But General O’Netll either could not or would not perasive them, This order piaced his men in the position of clambering a steep hill with their backs to the enemy and at short musketry range. Brave men they ‘were, it is true, ‘but they could not withstand such a terrible hail of bullets. Thomas Muiray fell dead in his steps, and the rest, dreading the future, faltered and seemed half determined to fy from the fleld. Then it was that General O’Nelil made the fndammiatory speech which I (elepraphed you last = night, lis effect was ty hasten to bravest of the men; bnt after tiey had reached the top of the hiil they seemed disinclined to take any further action, and looked only for the best methods of self-preservation. Col- leoting themselves together in something that fooked like a heap they taiked over the situation. General O'Neill, however, held himself somewhat aloof, and, {nm company with one Boyle, Reilly ‘walked siowly down the decline of the hiil. O'NEILL'S ADVENTURES, Besides all this it should be remembered that while tre fighting was the sharpest, when the bullets were flying the thickest and his comm#nd were penctrat- ing the British soil, General O'Neill was safely Jntrenched in the upper room of a@ neigh- porting brick house, from where he could ompin an excellent view of the exciting scene. ‘THiw House was owned and occupied by a muscular fatmer pamed Richards, and wien he found the Fenian chy ft iM one of his bedrooms, ho very per- emptorily ordvred Lue to legve the premises, O'Neill NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET.

A man named Murpily, of Skowhegan, Me., was taken pris- oner after the fight, and also two others whose names are unknown, VISIVING PRE BATTLE FIELD. The country people for miles surrounding have visited the scene of action to-day. Not a Fenian Was to be seen, however. The only evidences of war were the victorious 1redcoats of the day before, and their number was being rapidiy increased by arrivals from St. Johas and Montreal, \THR RETRBATING FENTANS were allin St, Alans by the middle of the after- hoou. ‘Their conduct. throughout has been mert- torious, and notwithstauding their presence in Such large numbers the town is remarkably quiet. Throughout, the entire evening the Fenians wulked about listlessly, evidently crestfatten at their defeat. “They looked dejceved and weary, and were anything »but pleased at the manner in which the general arrangements were carrica out, The railtoad depot was crowded with the men, but there Is @ strong guard of United States cavalry, «Tents are spread im the Park by the’ reguiar troops, and the greatest vizilance Is being maintained, There are now quar- tered here three companies of the Fifth Balted States battery, from Forts Warren and Independence, Bos- ton harbor, under command of. Colonel Kensel, Lieutenant Colonel Gansevoort and Major Ritten- house, The soidh though exercising all due pre. canton ia regard t@the Fenians, are by no means unsriendiy to ti Fentans, S Towards nighitail fires were lighted for cooking the rations, and. while the logs were crackling a crowd of Fenians gathered around tne buraing tim- bers, and for @ time their gloomy situation was relleved by such rousing metodies ag’ “Slap, Bang,” and “The Bells are all Ringing for Sarah. The fact 1s the Fenians are in anything but @ prosperous condition, having neither provisions nor the wherewith to purchase them, Their orderly demeanor and civil bearing generally have excited | the sympathy of the citizens, and steps are being,taken to relieve them ‘The facilities for wansportation, and they are not at all promising, cannot be made use of in season to prevent thetr sutering from hunger. A willingness has therefove been expressed to contribule to their relief, Unguesitonably something mast be done, or the consequences may prove rather serlous, An excellent beginning was made during the evening by General Foster, the United States Mar- shal, Who, at his own expense, generously procured rations for a large numiber of the Feulans, he wisely considering that it was much easier to manage a well-fed body than toargue with hungry men. The straggling into this quarter was continued ali day and evening, and at this hour the jaded travellers are still dropping into the town. DIGAPLOINTED NEW YORK FRNiANS { Where they will sleep nobody knows, Last evening abont 200 men started from New York, and were joined at Troy by about 150 more, Thely destination was Malone, they being {gnorant of the events that had taken place. Upon their arrival here, however, they got out of the cars and discontinued the journey, and helped to swell the crowd that had already come from the front. Upour the entrance of every train this evening they all crowded into the depot and made the most sera- tinizing surveys, as if in expectation of either more men or provisions, and as each engine departed au aspect of disapppoint- ment was visible on every face. A strong guard of United States soldicrs was stationed on the plat- form, the object ostensibly being to prevent Fentans from jumplag into the cars Without tickets, but reaily to deter them from proceeding to Ma- one, Not the slightest disturbance took place, however; for the Fenians seemed little disposed to be quarrejsome or to afford any occasion for a hos- tile display on the part of the regular troops, Jn- deed, when directed to fall back from the cars they did so with good grace, and generally formed small grovps to discuss their uninviting prospects, The majority of the Fenians were without uni- formas, but a great many wore green Jackets, trimmed. with yellow braid, Some had army overcoats, one or two carried huge cavalry swords, but none had muskets, As the night wore on their condition be- came more deplorabie, and towards tweive o'clock large number congregated inside the depot, and, completely exhausted with fatigue, soon. settled themselves down to sleep. DEMORALURD BUT NOT HOPELESS, Large crowds, nevertheless, quietly paraded tne streets, and, though 0 far vanquished, did not re- Unguish the hope of finally accomplishing Iheir perilous mission, Indeed many expressed thelr determination’ to hold out steadfastly to the end, They were particularly severe io their condemnation of the style in which the miil- tary tactics had been pursued, and were not slow In stating that had there been a better opportunity af- fordedthem the result of the engagement would have been different, SPEAR TO THE RESOUR. Ata late hour crowds assembled around Generel Spear’s quarters in order to ascertain what measures were to bo adopted, whether in fact if should be totally abandoned or renewed under more favor- able auspices, Consultations were held during the evening, the substance of all being that the Fenian army should either proceed to Malone at once and make a vigorous attempt or return home without delay. it Was understood -that General Spear urged the Fenian army to go there or elso to gsemo favorable point on the Ver- mont frontier, Froin all appearances it ty evident that the Fenians even under ali te disadvantageous and gloomy choumsiundss are Sct sustained by the ORES hope that their object may be attained, though ap- Pearances are decidedly against it. The camp fires continue to burp brightly on the Park, and although the infiahitants are now in slumber, the authorities are on the alert and great watcnfulness is observed.

OGPENSBURG, May 26, 1870, The Fentan excitement in this direction is on the increase. The Lrish farmers, with thelr teams, have been engaged forthe last three nights in hauling material for the Fenians. This afternoon 1 had an interview with Daniel Cavanaugh, wlio was one of the eighty-flve teamsters who went from this vicinity with the column which crossed the line below Fort Covington this .morning. He was the only one permitted to return, Last aight the- movement was as brisk as ever. ‘Thirteen loaded teams passed through Lisbon last night to jointhis column. It 1s no exaggeration to say thatthe St. Lawrence county Irishmen have gone en masse with their teams, There will be a further movement to-night, From Canada I have information of the occu- pation of Huntingdon by@he Fenians this morn- ing. This ts the column I have been endeavoring to direct. your attention to, At twcive o'clock to-day Colonel Duryea, with 125 United States troops from ‘New York city and Sackett’s Harbor, arrived in this city to assist the United States Marshal in main- tainme Neutrality laws, The Ot awa battery, stationed at Tiescoe for ro Ware ‘went east this morning. Their services are needed in that direction. ‘The excitement and suspense on that side is awiul. The telegraph operator at Hinch- ingbrook, this forenoon, says that the Fenians have crossed the border there, and a fight is expected. A few minutes later he closed the office, saying, “Good bye; Fenians only a few rods off.” The following despatch has just been received here:— WASHINGTON, May 26, 1870, To 8, P, REMINGTON, Co lector of Customs:— Direct Captain Treadway to ship the proper com- plement of mea and inform tie United States Mar- Shai that the vessel 1s placed at his order. GORGE 8. BOUTWELL, Secretary of the Treasury. Captain Treadway commands ‘he armed revenue cutter 8S, P. Cnase, which has been out of commission at this port. In the same train which brought the United States troops came 250 Fenians on their way to join the Huntingdon column. There was no attempt to interfere with them by the troops. At DeKalb junotion they separated, the soldiers coming here and the Fenians going on to Potsdam function, At half-past seven o’clock this evening another detach- ment of troops arrived here. They number fifty- three men, rank and file, and belong to the First ar- tillery. Thirty Fentaus came on the same train and ‘went on to Potsdam junction. OapENssund, May 26—8:40 P. M. I have just seen a gentieman from Canada. He informs me that there ts fearful depression in all circles, and rumors of defeat of the British regulars are rife. More Fenians Going to Malone—Fully One Thousand on the Canada Side—General Gleason in Command, MALONE, May 26, 1870, Thave arrived here to-night on the Rouse’s Point express train from St. Albans, I came with just 150 Fentans, thirty of whom were smuggled on board by Means of tickets passed by those inside to others in the depot, thus hoodwinking Uncle Sam’s regulars who were guarding the train to prevent a general raid upon the cars by impe- cunious Fenians. The conductor, when he found that he had thirty dead-heads, pocketed the swindle for the sake of peace and the safety of his other passengers. Every station along the route was thronged by the resi- dents who came to seo the Fenian invaders, Scarcely had the twaio reached this town than the Fenian reinforcements assembled in the open square in front of the Ferguson House, and by a series of numbers soon formed in mys- terious column, and disappeared, like ali previous bodies, in the directiog of Huntingdon, on the Canada side. This last body of men swells the aggregate number of Fenians to 1,000, and they are evidently under control, There are scarcely any loiterers in town. The Fenian base of operations is. on Trouts River, elevon miles from bere, which intersecting siream forms the boun- dary line. The main body crossed tho river this afternoon, and citizens here = who have visited the scene of operations, state that the advance is futly four miles on the other side and within seven of the village of Huntingdon, Gen- eral Gleason, who arrived tnis afternoon from New York, has aiso gone to the front. He states that fully 10,000 men are on thelr way from vari- ous points, Nearly all who have put in an appear. ance here are in uniform aud out on the front, They appear to have plenty of arms, and have already se- cured two small pieces of artiliery, though the source Is a8 yet unknown, Amunition 18 also avua- dant. Judging from the tenor of the remarks made by the Canadian oMcers near Franklin Centre, and by our own oflicers at St. Albans, I tnfer that the move- ™ments on Trout river will not be spoiled by so sud- den @ check on the line, now the Point of Concentration=Large Quanti- fies of Guns in Readiness—Stirring Times Expected.

St, ALBANS, V¢., May 26, 1870, The Fenian bubble, so far as the movement in this direction 1s concerned, has burst. Soon a‘ter the arrest of General O'Netll the Fenian officers held a long council of war, and deckled that it was useless in them, with the small mamber of men at their command, to make any further attempts at lovading Canadian soll, and the consequence Is that the rods leading from here to Franki{a are lined witb returning “wearers of the green,’ A genilemuan just from Franklin brings information that there {s not now a Fenlan in that village; that gaus, ammunition, blankets and other paraphernalia of war are scattered about m great abundance, and Being pickers up by whomsoever chooses, The rank and file compiain bitierly of their officers, and say they do not understand thetr business. One thing is evident, viz.—that the point chosen for crossing the line was a most unfavorable one, and could have boen bettered by going half a mile distant, whece there was an open field. As it was the enemy was intrenchca behind rocks, and had a decided ad- vantage. An aid of General O'Neill says 1,000 men conld not have driven the Canadians from their position, which naturaily Was @ very strong one, and the Fenians for the most part, behaved badiyand became sadly. demoraized a6 the first volley of Canadian mus- Ketry, and the officers had little or no control over them; and some witnesses of the fight, who were oficers in our late war, do not hesitate to affirm that most shabby military tactics were displayed, and that the result would have been different if ihe affair had been managed differently. ‘rhree Fenians are this morning reported killed, and ten or fifteen wounded, more or less, in the en- gagement. The Killed are John Rowe, of Burltugton, Company A, First Fenian cavalry , shot through the throat; M, O’Brien, Company C, First Fentan cavalry, from Morlah, N.

The General could not prevent his arrest, however much he might have been disposed. General Foster was very firm with him, and told him that his ile was endangered uf he made any resistance or attempted to escape.
