During the revolution and war of 1812, it was invested and held by British forces from Nova Sc o ti*. Last year its battery wrs attacked by rebel raiders. Ita selection by the Irish patriots shows their appreciation of its importance as a military position. CALAIS, MAINE, April 13. -About thirtv Fenians arrived here, yesterday afternoon, by the steamer from East port. They hare been quiet sad orderly. The excitement here and at St. Stephen is abating.

A number of troops captured the revenue flag, on In? dian Island, on Saturday last. Thc United States steamer Winoosky is here. lotter (rom Barop?. The following was brought by the steam? ship Hew York, from Liverpool, on the 5th: The Austrian and Prussian question is unchanged. Nothing has been received to confirm the recent pacific rumors. The French troops aro to be withdrawn from Mexico in detachments; the first on the 1st of November, 1866; second on 1st of March, and third on the 1st of Novem? ber, 1867. lt is officially denied at Copenhagen that the American Government is in treaty for a port for war vessels at the port of St. Thomas. The steamship Saxonia, from Hamburg, via Southampton, 4th instant, has arrived. The following is a summary of the general news: The London Times' city article says the English funds had advanced, in conse? quence of the less threatening character of tho accounts from Germany, coupled with the rumor of mediation with affairs of Austria and Prussia. A Vienna letter says such arrangements have been made that Austria could mobil? ize 480,000 troops within a fortnight. A Berlin telegram says it is believed that in reply to a despatch from the Austrian ambassador, Prussia will state that she also has no intention of following an ag? gressive policy, but would desire an expla? nation respecting the movements of Aus? tria. Florence telegrams announce the forma? tion of a camp of 70,000 men at Bologne; that the principal generals ot the Italian army are summoned to meet there; that an Italian squadron is forming to cruise in the Adriatic, and that military prepara? tions are going ou in Venice. On tho con? trary, a Paris Tetter denies tho rumors of the Italian loan and armamonts, and also the rumor that an understand:..'; has been agreed upon botweeu Italy and i'ru...4a. Shanghai advices of March 9 state that the Imperial troops gained a complete vic? tory over thc rebels in the North of China, and that 50,000 of the lattor had boen slaughtered or captured. The anticipated war between Austria and Prussia has made a most unfavorable im? pression on commercial affairs throughout rrance. The apprehension is that ifLb OHO powers go to war, Franco cannot, even if ?he would, maintain neutrality. It is stated that the att empts to win over the minor German States to Prussia have entirely failed. The States will preserve sn armed neutrality. Telegrams from Vienna mention rumors of che peaceful solution of the Schleswig-Holstein ques? tion being prevalent, and had produced a most favorable impression. Gen. Thomas Francis Mcagher, Acting Governor of Montana, has re? canted his radical opinions, and come out for President Johnson.

The crop of i860 wa* 4,600,000 bales; the' un ruber of laborers was 1,000,000 black, 250,000 white, thus making au average pf 3^ bales per hand. - " J " I disposeof.the black labor thus: Of the army, dead and alive, 160,000; dead Jcry destitution and disease, 150>000; left field work, 200,000; black laborers now at work in tho cotton States, 500,000. These; under the old regime, by the average above, ought to make 1,875,000 bales. They yin not make so much for these reasons: Under the old regime they were in the field 64 hours per week, under the new arrangement 48 hours per week. They thus must do one-fourth less work than formerly.' But they are not worth aa much while at ' work as formerly by one fifth at least. Thus the possible pro? duction-1,875,000 bales-must b? diminished one-foiirth and one-fifth, leaving 1,030,000 as the probable production of black laborers. The white labor (250,000) I dispose of tims: Killed and crippled and ir other employments, 125,000, leaving in the cotton field 120,000. These at the above average, make, sa] 470,000 bales. Add to this the pro duct of black labor, 1,030,000, an? we have total, for 1?66. 1,500,001 bales. If any are disposed to question tb accuracy of the boars of labor (an< I write what I know) T will reduo the slave's hours to sixty per week advance the freedman's to fifty, an? that will make thc uggregat 1,000,000.
