LATEST NEWS. Fenian Movement. New York, Jane 2.?Interested Fenian confederates report that they took Fort Erie and were dispersing; others that were at the Niagara River followed at night with small boats, carrying accoutrements A Buffalo despatch says 1,500 British regulars had arrived at the Suspension Bridge, to capture the Fenians who are in encampment. The United States gun boat Michigan is patroling the rivers, with orders to sink anything attempting to cross. General Sweeny was here yesterday, 6ut probably left for the scene of action. Governor Fenton, it is said, will issue a proclamation to-day, warning citizens not fn nnnntenanno thfl invftdfirs. and that I twelve regiments of militia will be sent to the border. Buffalo, June 2?11 A. M.?The Fenians have left here for Canada. Toronto, June 2?10 A. M.?This j morning a force of volunteers attacked the Fenians encamped near Ridgeway, when the fighting became general and a number were killed. The result is jet unknown. Later.?Buffalo, June 2?11.30 A M. The English troops are occupying Fort Erie. It is not known whether tho reported fighting at Ridgeway is with the Fenians who landed yesterday at Fort Erie, or another party?probably the former.? There is a report that the English troops are retreating from Ridgeway, but no particulars have yet been received. Toronto, June 2.?The following is the British version of the fight at Ridgeway : The attack was made by the British, who I drove the Fonians A number were killed on each side Tbc volunteers were expect- j ed to hold their own, until reinforcements should reach them, which were uiomentari- j lv exnected. ?r?- # I American neutrality is severely censured, j and the people deolare that the Government is in coalition with the Fenians. New York, June 2.?The general impression is that the present movement is to oover the real point of attack, which will j be on the line of the St. Lawrence River. Canada troops have been placed along the | line, to prevent the Fenians from crossing, j The suspension Bridge is carefully guarded, j and all travelers are examined. The move-1 ment of men toward the front is reported from every part of the country. The town of St. Albans is the rendezvous | for reinforcements. The third infantry, j 1,200 strong, and a Fenian cavalry regi- ! ment, left Boston for that point yesterday ; morning. Smaller detachments from Syra- j cuse, Elmira, Troy, Lowell, Rutland and other places were continually arriving. One of Mosby's guerillas has command of the cavalry regiment from Boston, and, Fe nians say, the cavalry wing of the army. 45,000 rounds of ammunition were shipped from Columbus, Ohio, last February, for New York, 150,000 for Chicago and 30,000 muskets for Buffalo. They are sup- ! posed to be for the use of the Fenians. . Stephens has issued a manifesto at Phil- j adelphia, protesting rjainst the movement of Sweeny, on the ground that it is not de-! sirable to commit any breach of neutrality by which the country might be compromised. Buffalo, June 2.?Geu. Grant passed West at noon, and sent the following tele- j gram to Gen. Meade: Buffalo, June 2.?Maj. Gen. Meade, C. S. A., Philadelphia; Gen. Bailey is here; assign him to the general command from Buffalo to the mouth of the Niagara River. The State authorities should call the militia on the frontier, to prevent hostile expeditions leaving the United States, aod save private property from destruction by mobs. (Signed,) U. S. GRANT, Lieut. Gen. Fenians-More Rumors. JNew iork JUDe '6.?rso denmte intel- ( ligence has been received from the Fenians. | One report says that the Fenians drove back the British, captariDg over one hundred, i killing nineteen and wounding more. A Canadian dispatch announces that the volunteers only fell back for reinforcements, j A large number of reported Fenians crossed the Niagara River yesterday. A Buffalo dispatch says that the fight will occur today. The Fenians are said to still hold Fort Erie. A Montreal dispatch states that. General Sweeny is at St. Albans, Vermont, with a large force ; but all this needs confir- j mation. Later.?TheN. V. Herald's special dis-; patch gives the particulars of the battle of Ridgeway. The Fenians were one thousand strong, and meeting the volunteers, charg- | ed them, but a swamp intervening, Colonel O'Neill ordered his men to halt, and then fell back. The volunteers believing the Fenians to be retreating, charged in turn, i which attack was met by the Fenians, who I routed the enemy and pursued them two I miles. The volunteers fled to Port Colburn, completely demoralized. The Fenian loss j was six killed and fifteen wounded. The j volunteer loss was twenty-three killed and ; wounded. After stopping pursuit, the Feu-! ians proceed to Fort Erie, leaving a guard I over the wounded on both sides. Highly Important from Europe. New York, June 3.?The steamers Hermann and Southampton, with dates to ; the 23d, have arrived. A Paris telegram to the London Post j states definitely that arrangements have j been made for a conference of France, j England and llussia on one side, Austria, Prussia and Italy on the other, with Prouyn I D. L'Huys as President. The LondoQ Herald says that conferences can do nothing, and that war is certaic un- j less the combatants become exhausted j under the burden of preparation. The Dresden official journal says the con ference was to meet i>lay ~otb, but that j Austria was evincing a disinclination to < participate. If persisted in, she will be ' represented pro tern by England. There , is no relaxation in military preparations by Russia, while there is a uuiversal feeling that there will be a pacific solution. Prussia has issued a decree that, in the j event of a war, tho enemy's merchant ships j wili not be liable to capture on the high j seas, provided similar rules are adopted by ! her antagonists. The Austrian Commandant has notified the Venetians that any attempt to enlist iu Italian Corps, or to encourage desertion, shall be dealt with by martial law Austria has refused to discuss any proposition for the cession of Venetia. The formation of Volunteers into Regiments commenced on the 21st A Vienna dispatch says that the treaty between Prussia and Italy is offensive and defensive, and continues until the end of the present year. A Prussian corps is concentrated at Wiltz Kerefut Reisse. To prove that Prussia accepts the mediation of a conference, the departure of the Prince Royal and Prince Frederiok Charles has been DOStDoned. r r The report that an Austrian patrol bad crossed the Prussian frontier is denied by the Austrian commander. The Latest.?The latest European news is from Queenstown, May 23d. The crisis is unchanged. The statement, that all the powers had assented to a conference is premature, although the invitations have been sent out The Trial of Ex-President Davis. Richmond, June 3.?The United States District Court meets here to-morrow Judge Underwood is expected to preside. Jas. T. Brady of New York, W. B. Read of Philadelphia, George Brown of Baltimore, associate counsel for Jefferson Davis are here. Charles O'Connor and George Shea will arrive in a day or two. The counsel will announce their readiness for the trial, and in the event of a postponement will apply for bail. Major Hennessey, the assistant District Attorney will represent the Government. Burton N. Harrison, the formei Secretary of ex-President Davis is here. From Washington. Washington, June 2.?A company of Fenians left this city for the scene of war and others are preparing to follow. Charles U'Connor goes to luchmona on Monday, to demand the trial of Jefferson Davis, or his release on bail. The House Committee are still examining witnesses, with a view to discovering whether or not Jeff. Davis, is implicated in the assassination of Lincoln. The Burning of Columbia. Editors Charleston News : An erroneous report, by a Northern reporter, of the "Sherman meeting in Columbia," has been published in the New York World, and copied into your columns. As you requested?and no one has sent you an account of the meeting?I take leave to give you a correct report. Upon the Chairman announcing the object of the mefctiog, I offered the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, Major Geo. W. T. Sherman, U. S. A , who gained for himself, by his systematic employment of the torch in the war upon the Southern people and their homes, the well merited title of the Great Incendiary, has attempted to shirk the re- j sponsibility of the infamous act of burning Columbia, after being surrendered to him, and in the actual occupation of his army : Resolved, That a committee of twentyone citizens, who were present at the conflagration, be appointed to collect affidavits of evidence thereof; and that said affidavits be deposited among the archives of the city for future use. Resolved, That the committee of twentyone be authorized to prepare a carefully condensed synopsis of the evidence, and publish it to the world, certified by their names. I stated that it would be impossible to give extensive publicity to the voluminous evidence which would be collected, but that a short synopsis would be widely copied by the press, while the affidavits would be preserved until the proper occasion occurred for using them in a legal point of view. Col. McMaster objected to the preamble as prejudging in advance of the collection of evidence, and said it should be remembered that (he people of the North looked upon General Sherman as agreat soldier and honor to his country, who had done more than General Grant to bring the war to a close; that he was entitled to have the evidence against him adduced before con (learning him. Mr. Tallcy took a similar view, and so did the IIou. E. J. Arthur, who offered a substitute, simply proposing a committee, to collect testimony and report to a subsequent meeting. Other resolutions to the same effect were offered by Mr. F. G. De Fontaine. Not convinced by the technical objections of these gectlemeu of the bar, I still replied that my object was not discussion on a matter upon which all agreed; that in the preamble I had simply explained, in a j few words, the object of the meeting; that, in stating propositions known and believed by all of us, I did not consider j that 1 was denouncing Gen. Sherman ; that1 I thought I was drawing it rather mild on the Gen. in alluding to him so gently; that the preamble was not absolutely necessary; i so, for the reason above given, I asked leave j to withdraw it. Dr. W Reynolds objected, but I insisted, and it was allowed. Mr. Arthur's resolution was then adopted, as follows: WKofoaa if iu Kirtldtr lmnortont fn tKo truth of history that the circumstances; attending the destruction of the city of Coiumbia, on the 17th of February, 18G5, ] should be fully and impartially investigated, and the evidence in relation thereto collec ted and perpetuated while the facts are still fresh in the memory of witnesses; be it therefore, Resolved, That a committee of twelve persons be appointed by the Chairman to collect the testimony in relation to the destruction of Columbia at the time aforesaid, rind rpnurt thu tn nn ndinnrrifid mpfit. V v..*, ? ? ^ J iDg of the citizens of Columbia and of Rich land District, to be called by the chairman of said committee when he may be prepared to make such a report. Under the above resolution, the Chairman appointed the following named gentlemen : Chancellor J. P. Carroll, Hon. W. F. De Saussure, Hon. K. J. Arthur, Dr. John Fisher, Dr Wm. Reynolds, Dr. I). H. Trezevant, Dr. A. N. Talley, Prof. W. J. Rivers, Prof. John LeConte, Col. J. T Sloan and Col. L. D. Ckilds. In common with my fellow citizens, I am unwilling that an impression should be made that "resolutions vindicating Hampton, and indirectly fastening the blame on Sherman, failed"?no such were offered.? Where Gen. Hampton is so well known for ! his noble integrity and unsullied character, I tVe idea is preposterous ' A8 I took part in the initiation of the proceedings, I am not willing that the published report should go forth without correction. I am, perhaps, entitled to a word in the premises, as I saw my residenoe sacked, pillaged, and deliberately set on fire by Sherman's sober soldiers, and when I remonstrated with them for burning a house filled with women and children, they shouted and jeered at me: Quifac.it per alios, facit per se." I might even be pardoned were I to denounce the barbarous and wanton destruction of my literary, scientific and historical treasures?tne associations 01 my life?and being rudely driven into the streets, with my daughters and grand-children, to wander through Sherman's pitiless fire-storm and licensed soldiery?but I prefer to leave him to his conscience and his God. I would, however, when Mr. Bancroft studies the truth of history in the evidenoe of our committee, to perpetuate it, commend to him the following recent poetical tribute to the Great Incendiary of the Age: "Tlie sacred laurel, meed of hero-praise, Would wither, scorched upon a brow like his." j Respectfully, R W. GIBBES, M. D. Columbia, S C., May 21, 1866. A Noble Day's Work. On Monday of last week, the people of Richmond, Va , turned out en masse, by previous appointment, to repair the neglcoted graves of the Confederate dead interred at Hollywood Cemetery. More than 5,000 graves were renovated?many of them so much sunken that they were scarcely distinguishable. We learn from the Richmond papers that each grave was newly mounded, the spaces intervening between them levelled and oleaned out, and the walks cleaned ot rubbisb ana leveiea. seventeen military organizations were represented, and the large working force continued their pious labors. From the long report of the Richmond Times we extract the following : "The work begun with pious zeal was prosecuted with such enthusiastic and welldirected energy, that before the shades of evening descended, more than two-thirds of the vast task was accomplished. Never did the Army of Northern Virginia, in the hour of greatest peril, wield the spade and shovel with a sturdier will or with more effect than ihesc tx-Confederate soldiers. Never before has the cemetery presented so busy a scene, and more suggestive of reflection. Here, in close proximity, were comrades inarms who had fought side by side on many a battle field. Some were living; many were dead The hundreds that were visible, full of youth and life and vigor, were adorning and doing honor to the thousands that, hidden beneath the sod, slept the sleep that knows no waking on ! this earth. The scene, and the memories and reflections it evoked, will never be forgotten by those who bore a part in the day's proceedings." Thursday last was appointed by the La dies' Memorial Association of Richmond to decorate the reuovated graves with flowers A pleasing feature in the proceedings was that two United States soldiers present on the occasion worked with zeal in the restoration of the graves. Troubles of a Noted Woman.?The New York papers give a sad account of the fate of the once celebrated Mrs. Eaton, whose influence, in the days of Andrew Jackson, was sufficient to cause a rupture in his Cabinet, and to produce alienation of kindly relations between Jackson and Mr. Calhoun, and other members of his Cabinet, which materially altered the prospects for life of half a dozen eminent statesmen. Mrs. Eaton has for many years resided in New York, in the possession and enjoyment of a fortune of ?200,000. There resided with her two grand-children, one of whom was a young woman of great persoual attractions. It was the misfortune of this girl : to form the acquaintance of a needy Italian I -J mL a ir>n?*ntiofin? Kl rncolf j UiiUClll^-UiUSlCl , WIIUj m^muatiutj uiiumwm : with the young woman, was received upou an intimate footing in ihe family of Mrs i Eaton. Ascertaining that the grand-mother | was a lady of large fortune, he paid his adI dresses to Mrs. Eaton, with so much success ! that she became his wife, and placed her j whole fortuoe in his hauds. He then suej ceeded in winning the affections of the : grand daughter, and haviDg converted the ! whole of Mrs Eaton's fortune into exj change, he fled to Europe last week with I the grand-daughter, leaving a letter, in which he coolly informs his impoverished wife that if she will "keep quiet," he will allow her twenty dollars "a week for the rest of her life."

Of these, at least two thousand are widows and orphans, almost entirely helpless, and I made so by the misfortunes of war. Some of the others are returned soldiers who reach- j ed home last year too late to make anything j like a full crop ; and, almost all, without' the present meaDs of buying food.

On Friday, May 25, there was an active demand for the staple at improved rates, 250 bales being disposed of, and Strict Middling Cotton having se'd during the day at 40c. j per pound. On Saturday the news from New York of a I decline in gold, and the belief, in consequence, that the market hud reached its maximum, induced buyers generally to withdraw and await further accounts. On Monday some 50 bales were sold at a decline of lc. per pound on the better grades, and on Tuesday some 150 bales were disposed of, the transactions establishing the decline of the day before at lc. per pound on the better and 2c. per pound on the lower grades, Strict Middling being quoted at 39c. and Middling at 36 to 38c. per pound.
