Yesthere wus the hideous frame-work painted blank, that I had seen once be- tre at the Place de Trome, in Puris.\u2014 Af the moment 1 tured my eyes on this in=trument of death, a man wasen- gazed oiling the grooves, and fo enable iim todo it more conveniently, the Knife was lowered half way down between the two posts, and the morning Ain made the blade glitter, rendering it casidy to he distinguished by the whole multitude.Althoueh © had before seen an exe- euion, and was well aware of the pain- inl efived it hind on my mind for months Wterwards, morbid euriosity impelled mo to remain sud see the conelusion of the tragedy.1 had not to wait long ; a neighboring bell began to toll, and a cart made its appearance, hearing the criminal, Te appeared to take matters very easy, and when T first saw him he was conversing gaily with two gendar- wes who accompanied him.He war saoking a cigar, and glanced around atlthe multitude with the most perfect nouchalance.The populace, when they saw him, gave n yell of exceration : n palpable sneer was the only reply he deiuned to make.He ascended the steps leading to the sede, with an easy gait, and turning sharply around to the mob, stood a min- We or two with arms folded and foot advanced, na if defying them.He glimeed nt them with a look of unutterable scorn, and muttered between his teeth the word\u20144Canaille.\u201d lt was during this minute or two that Ihad time to make à note of his appearance.He seemed tu be about thir- ty-tive years of age.He was tall and | powerfully built, but his features were the very epitome of villainy.His eyes wore dark and large, surmounted by bushy eye-hrows, and he wore a long moustache, which extended far beyond his cheeks.Every bad passion seëmed to be expressed in his face.In fact, his countenance might be called perfectly devilish.An involuntary shudder tan through me as I gazed upon lim, He resigned himself into the hands of the executioner, and in a fow minutes all was over.When the time came for the knile to descend, 1 had not the courage to look, but turned my head away, aud jt was ouly by a shout of the mob that I knew that the horrid tragedy was finished.Iinguired of a spectator near me the name of the criminal, and the crime for whieh he had suffered.The man stared at me with astonishment, saying : \u201cWhy, it\u2019s Jaques Reynauld.\u201d The name struck me as being somewhat familiar, and I endeavored to remember where I had heard it belore.I suddenly remembered that the Paris newspapers some months before had been filled with the history of several awful murders committed in Dieppe, and this man\u2019s name was in some way connected with them, but in what manner F could not learn.But my curiosity wasexcited, aud I immediaiely made the most minûte inquiries into the matter, and before I ieft Dieppe I had learned thé following particulars : In the Rue des Armes, about four months previous to the time of which I write, lived a worthy haberdasher by the name of Maurice.His family consisted of himself, one child and a servant girl, They were quiet, respeet- ed by all their neighbors, M.Maurice (id a good business and frequently had a considerable sum of money in his honse.lle had an extraordinary run of custom on Saturday, and when the labors of the day was over he felt very much fatigued.lle shut up his shop and proceeded to a small room where his wife and servant were laying the eloth for supper.\u201cMy dear,\u201d said his wife as soon as\u201d he entered the room, \u201cI should very much like some- oysters for supper tonight.\u201d \u201cIam afraid it is too late,\u201d replied the husband looking at his watch, \u201cIt is a quarter past eleven.\u201d \u201cOh no; Justine says there is à shop open round the corner.\u201d \u201cIf that be the ease, Tet Justine get some at once for D am hungry asa hunter.\u201d - Thereupon Justine put on her bonnet und shawl, and went for the oysters, leaving the door ajur that she might not disturb her master and mistress when she returned.Now it so happened that the place where she expected to be able to obtain the oysters, wag closed; but not wishing to disappoint her employers, she determined she would go and seek them elsewhere, Tn pursuance of this ohject she entered Grand Rue, but had to walk a considerable distance before she could obtain what she sought.She hurried home again, and noticed that when she arrived at the door of her master\u2019s house the chimes of a neighborin: \u201curch struck a quarter to twelve.She had therefore, been absent just half an hour.; She was surprised to find the door shut; hut supposing that the wind had blown it too, she raised the lateh : but the door was fastened on the inside.\u2014 She thought this rather strange but then reflected that it was only a necessary precantion on the part of her master.\u2014 She rang the bell, and was very much concerned when after waiting a few moments, no reply was made.\u201cThey have gone to bed,\u201d she said to herself, and felt angry with them for having locked her ont.She again rang the bell much more violently than be- fore\u2014still no answer.She now became alarmed, and rang long and violentiy\u2014 no answer! Ter fears were now thoroughly aroused, and she related the circumstance to some persons passing along the street.The presence of two or three gendarmes was soon procured, mud they proceeded to break open the door.The \u2018passage into which the door opened was perfectly dark; but one of the gendarmes stumbled over something and putting out his hand to save himself, it come in contact with something wel, A light was immediately obtained.and a horrible sight presented itself, Taying across the passage was the dead body of Monsieur Maurice, with his thront eut from ear to ear.The floor was swimming with his blood.\u2014 In the little hed-room was the dead body of his wife, presenting the same ghastly wound, Even the little child in the cradle hed not escaped, for the merciless assassins had taken its life by the same horrible menns.The house was ransacked from top to bottom, and every thing of value stolen.T shall not attempt to depict the hor- vor of the persons who witnessed this shocking sizht.It can be more easily imngined than described, aud to tell the truth, T don't like dealing in the horri- Ble: it ix pandering to n morbid taste, and if 1 have transgressed my usual mode of narration in this sketch my only excuse js\u2014it da true.\u2018The most strennous efforts were made Our > D as STANSTEAD, L.-C., JUNE 11, 1863.to detect the murderer, but without any success, All that could be learned was that a man had been scen to look intently in the shop window about the time M.Maurice was counting his days receipts.The whole town of Dieppe was horrified, and when night came many a heart trembled.After a few days the feeling of fear began to de- erease, when they were roused in a tenfold manner by another shocking murder, About ten days after the catastrophe in the Rue des Armes, some belated pedestrians were making the best of their way home about two o'clock in the morning.They were walking very rapidly down the Rue Grenard, when they were astonished Dy secing à man on the roof of a house with nothing on but his shirt crying out with all his strength, \u201cMurder! murder ! murder!\u201d He held a young child in his arn, They immediately called to im, but all they could gather from him was that murder was being committed in the house.They directly made for the door and found it fastened on the inside.They burst the door open with a few vigorous kicks and penetrated into the house.They rushed up staivg, and on the first landing they found the hody of a man with his throat cut.Ife was dead.They entered a bedroom ; hanging out of bed was the body of a woman mutilated in the same horrible manner and stone dead, But they had not yet discovered allthe horrors in that house of blood.In the kitchen was discovered the inanimate corpse of the servant girl, who had been killed by the same means.\u2018The assassin was evidently the same that had committed the murder in the Rue des Armes.\u2014 The wounds inflicted were exactly of the same character, and it was cvident the same instrument had been used.The young man on the roof of the house was called Pierre Duloun: he deposed before the Procurer Du Roi the next morning ns follows : \u201cMy name is Pierre Duloun; I am twenty years of age, and a watchmaker by trade.For the last two years I have been living as assistant with the late Mounsicur Morton.He resided in the Rue Grenard.is family consisted of himself, wife, child and a servant girl.On the night of the 21st of April 1846, we all of us retired to bed carly.I was acenstomed to sleep in one of the attics.In the room next to mine the servant girl and child slept.About half-past one o\u2019clock in the morning I awoke ; I felt very thirsty, aud rose to get some water\u2014my pitelier was empty.I started down stairs to fill it.I had nearly reached the first landing when I saw a man stealthily ascending the stairs.Tam & very nervous man, and the recent murder had preyed very much où my mind, and T had been living in continned dread ever since.The sight of this man completely paralyzed me, and I stood looking not able to move hand or foot.He had newly reached master\u2019s door, when M.Morton opened the door and came out on the landing.The assassin immediately rushed upon him and putting his hand over my master\u2019s mouth prevented him from calling out.1 noticed only one thing\u2014ihat the murderer had only three fingers on his left hand, T could ce no more, but ran np stairs agaîn and hurried into the servant\u2019s room ; the child was lying on the bed asleep, but the servant girl was not in the room.1 sanght up the child in my arms and got out on the roof.This is all I know about the matter.\u201d The excitement in Dieppe was now raised to the highest piteh.No trace of the assassin could be discovered.It was evident that these murders were the work of one man\u2014and that he must have been concealed in the houses before they were closed for the night.\u2014 Government offered a large reward for the discovery of the murderer, and the vigilance of the police was thorougly wroused.J .There lived on the outskirts of Di- eppe a widow lady named Beaumau- rice, She had no family, but with one servant girl lived in a very retired mau- ner.The cottage in which zhe resided was situated about one half mile from the city a little distance from the publie road.Madam Beanmaurice had been the wife of an old officer of the Guards.\u2014 She was an extraordinary woman in every particular, but especially in re- speet certain coolness of character, she possessed in the midst of danger, which together with a large amount of moral courage, made her n very notable person, \"The recent murders had perhaps less impression on her mind than upon any one clse in Dieppe\u2014although it was naturally supposed the retired_situation in which she lived would have caused her to be more fearful, About ten o'clock on the night of the 30th April, just ten days after the murder in Rue Grenard, Madame Beaumau- rice weut up to her bedroom.She was soflering from n nervous hendache.\u2014 She felt very sleepy and seated herself in a large arm-chaiv previous fo undressing herself.The lamp was placed on a chest of drawers behind her.Opposite to her wag a toilet fable with a cloth on it reaching to the floor.Khe had alrendy commenced fuking off her clothes, when happening fo look around lier she saw something than: for n moment chilled her blood.It was the shadow of a mau*s hand on the floor.\u2014 The hand had only three fingers! She divined the truth in a moment\u2014 the assassin was there in her house, under her toilet table.She made not the least motion or sign, but reflected two or three minutes as to the best course to be pursued.She at onee decided what to do, and advancing to the door, called her serrant maid, \u201cOh, Mary !\u201d exclaimed she, when the girl appeared.\u201cDo you know where Monsieur Bernard lives ¥\u201d \u201cYes madame.\u201d \u201cI have to pay 5,000 frances away early in the morning.The fact slipped my memory till just now.You will have to run to his house now and get the money for me.\u201d \u201cVery well, madame.\u201d \u201cI will write you a note which you will deliver to him, and he will give \u201cyou bank bills to the amount.\u201d She wrote us follows : \u201cMy Dear Monsieur Bernard: The assassin of the Rue des Armes and the Rue Grenard is now at my house.\u2014 Come immediately with some gendurms and take him before he escapes.ITELENE BEAUMAURICE.\u201d And without entering into any explanation with her servant, she despatched her on the errand.She then quietly reseated herself and waited.Yes, she sat in the room with that man under the table for a whole hour.She sat there calm, cool and collected.She saw the shadow of the hand shift several times, but the murderer did not make any attempt to escape from his place of concealment, In due time the gendarmes arrived, and James Reynaulds was arrested, not however without a violent struggle.I need scarcely add that the most convincing proof as to his guilt was found, and in due tiie he was guillotined, as I have shown in the former part of this sketch.a SR me ÿ Gen.Grant's Recent Victories.We take the following descriptions of the actions fought by Gen.Grant's army at Champion's 11ill, Mississippi, on the 10th May, ultimo, at Big Black Bridge on the 17th, and of the preliminaries of the investment of Vicksburg, on the 18th aud following two days, from special correspondence of the New York Herald : BATTLE NF CHAMPION'S HILL.Early on the morring of the day following the occupation of the city of Jackson it was decided to evacuate the position.Fhere were several reasons induced Gen.Grant to arrive at this decigion, prominent amoung which was the difliculty of keeping intact his long line of communication, and the fear that Gen.Johnston\u2014who was known to be hovering in the region north of Jackson with a force estimated at from fifteen to twenty thousand men\u2014wonld attack his rear.The force which we encountered just before we reached Jackson, under Gen.Gregg, had divided, one portion going to Canton from the North, and the other fromthe south.Johnaton and Gregg combined might prove altogether too formidable.Tt was therefore decided to return to Clinton and move upon Vicksburg, From documents which fell into our hands it was learned that the main column of the enemy was at Edward's Station, proposing to dispute onr passage and give us battle there.Soon after daylight the column was in motion, Gen.MePherson in advance.They marched to their camping ground, à short distance from the village of Bolton.It may be of interest to describe the topography and appearance of the conn- try through which the route lay.Imagine a region rugged aud broken, with a succession of hills and valleys, precipitous steeps and deep ravines, over and through which the road winds: dense forests, with here and there cleared patches, planted with cereals; swamp, meadows aud banks of sterile yellow soil ; and you will have a fair idea of the conniry between Jackson and Bolton.There are no clements of.beauty about it, and were it not for the -occa- sional white dwellings by the rondside, embowered ju a wreath of evergreens and flowering trees, now deserted and abandoned by their rightful proprietors, we might imagine the country uninhaba- bited und uninhabitable.- The programme of the advance was arranged by Gen, Grant and General MeClernand, as follows: Extreme left, Gen, Smith supported by Gen.Blair; on the right of Gen.Smith, Gen.Os- terhaus supported by Gen, Carr: Gen, lovey in the centre, with McPherson on the extreme right, with Crocker as reserve.In this orderthe advance was made.Gen.MeClernand\u2019s corps, with the exception of Gen.Hovey\u2019s division, reaching the position by way of the several roads leading from Raymond to Edwards station.On the evening of the 15th Gen.Me- Clernand heard that the enemy were advancing from Edward's Station to Raymond, aud quickly placed his troops in order of battle to repel the anticipn- ted attack, Extensive reconnoissances revealed the tact, however, that he was merely feeling his position and force, and that no attack need be expected that day.At uine in the morning Gen.Oster- haus took possession of Bolton, capturing a rebel mailand several prisoners, Geu.McClernaud placed his army in .mauds eut off from the main column.camp cerly in the cveuing, and Ly day- | light the following day each division occupied the ground selected, and prepared to offer battle.The enemy's first demonstration was upon our extreme left, which they attempted.'Fhis attempt was most gallantly repulsed by General Smith, commanding the left wing.At 7 o'clock the skirmishers were actively engaged ; and as the enemy sought the cover of the forest onr artillery fire was opened, which continued without intermission for two hours.At this time General Ransom\u2019s brigade marched ou the field and took np a position as reserve behind General Carr, - Now the battle raged fearfully along the entire line, the evident intention of the enemy being to mass hiz forces upou Hovey on the centre.There the ficht was most carnest; but General McPherson brought his forces into the field, and after fonr hours hard fighting the tide of battle was turned and the caemy foreed to retire.Disappointed in his movements upon our right he turned his attention to the lett of Hovey\u2019s division, where Colonel Slack commanded a brigade of Indiau- iang.Massing his forces here he hurled them against the opposing columus with irresistible impetuosity, and forced them to full back ; not, however, until at least one quarter of the troops comprising the brigade were either killed or wounded.Taking a new pgsition and receiving fresh reinforcements, our sol diers again attempted to ster the tide, this time with eminent success.The enemy were beaten back aud compelled to seek the cover of the forest in their rear.Following up their advantage, without waiting to re-form, the soldiers of the Western army fixed their bayonets and charged iuto the woods after them.The enemy were seized with uncontrollable panic, and thought only of escape.In this terrible charge men were slaughtered without merey, \"The ground was literally covered with the dead and dying.The enemy scattered in every direction, and took through the fields to reach the column now moving to the west along the Vicksburg road.At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the battle was over and the victory wou.Of the part taken in this battle ly McPherson's corps it is only necessary to say that it rendered the most efficient | and satisfactory assistance.To it De- longs the credit of winning the fight on the extreme right.It is impossible to arrive at any just estimate of\u2019 our losses in this batile of Champion's Hill.The lst swells fearfully.Those who are in a position to know gay it will reach fuily three thousand in killed and wounded.In the ex- citemeut of pursuit and daily eugage- ments with the enemy no definite statements can be obtained.The enemy*slossisnotknown.Their dead upon the battle field were largely in excess of our own.Nope but the fatally wounded were left behind, The citizens say that two trains filled with wounded left Edwards\u2019 Station for Vicksburg the evening of the fight.\u2014 A large number of prisoners fell into our hands\u2014over a thousand.From the data at hand I estimate the rebel Joss in killed, wounded aod prizoners at four thousand.The battle ended, the left was speedily advanced upan the Vicksburg road, driving the enemy rapidly before them, and picking up as they advauced large numbers of prisoners and guns.On the left of the road we could see large squads of rebel soldiers and com- wbom we engaged at intervals with ar- dllery.One of these was under the command of Major Gen.Tighlman, who was struck by a shell from our battery and instantly killed while in the act of sighting à gun.This we lemrned from prisoners subsequently captured.Thus we pursued the enemy until nearly dark, when we entered this little village just as the rear guard of the enemy was leaving it, When within rifle range of the Station we discovered on the left a large building in flames, and on the right a smaller one from whieh just then issued a series of magnificent explosions.The former contained commissary stores, and the latter shell and ammunition\u2014 five car-londs\u2014bronght down from Vicksburg on the morning of the day of the battle.In their hasty exit trom Edwards Station the rebels could, not take this ammunition with them, but consigned it to the flames rather than it should fall inte our hands.We bivoune in line of battle to-night and to-morrow move upon the bridge across Big Black river.THE BATTLE OF BIG BLACK BRIDGE.The battle of Big Black bridge was fought on Sunday the 17th, the day after the battle of Champion\u2019s 1ill.\u2014 In this spirited engagement only the Thirteenth army corps was engaged,\u2014 It is superfluous to add that the troops comprising this corps fought as .they always do.execllently well.Tn the morning, after à nights bivonac on the | hill overlorfking the village of Edward\u2019s | Station, the column, with MeClernand at its head.moved toward Black river bridge.The citizens who were quos- tioned on the subject said the position was most strongly fortified at the crossing, and we naturally thought the eno- my would make stubborn resistance there.We were not surprised, there- was fired upon by the rebel pickets us | the column moved toward the river.i The country between Edward's Station and the bridge loses that hilly and broken character which distinguishes | the region further east, and spreads out into a broad and fertile plain, over which | we woved rapidly.There were no, commanding hills whence they could: pour a deadly fire into our ranks; but there were numerous patches of forest, ! under the cover and from the edge of which they could easily eufilade the | open fields by.the roadside.There was! such a out n mile cast of the intrench- ments where the main picket guard was stationed.Here determined resistance was first made, Gen, Carr's division had the extreme advance of the column, and vpened and ended the engagement.Tlastily de-; ploying a heavy line of skirmishers to the right of the road, backed up by the two brigades of Carr's division in line of battle behind it, with Gen, Osterhaus, division on the left of the road similarly disposed.Gen, MeClernand gave the order to advance.Soon in the depths of the thick {forest the skirmishers of both armies were hotly engaged, while batteries of artillery planted on the right and left of the road poured shot aud shell into the fort most furiously.\u2014 The guns in the intrenchments replied with vigor aud spirit, Almost the first shot dropped juto the caisson belonging to l\u2018uster\u201ds Wisconsin battery aud exploded its contents, slightly wounding Gen.Osterhaus and Capt.Foster of the battery, aud very seriously injuring two gunners.Gen.Osterhaus being thus disabled, the command of his division was tempurarily given to Brig.Geu, À.L.Lee.After skirmishing had continued for an hour, during which the enemy gave way and sought the cover of his in- frenchments, the order was given to the several brigade commanders on the right to advance and charge the cuemy\u2019s works.\u2018The order was received wiih cheers and shouts.and the 21st, 22d and 23d Jowa and 11th Wisconsin, Gen.Lawler\u2019s brigade, were the first to an- pounce themselves in readiness.The order \u201cforward\u201d was given, and steadily aud splendidly the brave boys moved up to the assault.The enemy crouched down behind the breastworks.À portion of them stationéd in a curtain ou the right of the fort, whence they were able to get a cross fire npon the column, reserved their volley until we were Within easy musket range of the intrench- neuts, when they swept the advane- ing line with their terrible ire.The brave boys lost in that fearful volley one hundred and fifty men: yet they faltered not nor turned their steps backward.They waded the bayou, deliv- WHOLE

ended.and the fort, with three thousand prisoners, eighteen pieces of artillery\u2014some of them captured from ourselves, and bearing appropriate inscriptions\u2014several thousand stand of arms, and a large supply of corn and commissary stoves fell into our hands.\u2018 The enemy had, earlier in the day, out of the hulls of three steamboats, constructed a bridge, over which he had passed the main body of his army.\u2014 As the charge was made, and it became evident that we should capture the po- gition, they burned this bridge and also the railroad bridge across the river just Iy grape and canister.Our skirmishers were thrown further up; but little firing was done on either side.general advance upon the rebel works, over ground which on the left at.least, was almost impassible under the -most peaceful circumstances.The order.seemed a haved one.Yet nothing is:too- lard for rue soldiers to try.Le Gen.A.L.Lee, who commanded the 1st brigade of Osterhaus' division, and\u2019 was in the advance, determined to carry out his orders if their execution was possible.Addressing a few words.of cheer to his men.he placed himself in front of the centre of his brigade, and led them forward in line of battle.He the hill which he was attempting, he found that it was only the first of several ridges which were to be erossed;.the above.In the afternoon several attempts were made to cross the river, but the sharpshooters lined the bluffs beyond | and entirely prevented it.Later.the | main body of sharpshooters were diz- persed by our avtillery.It was not.\u2018however safe to stand upon the bauk, ar eross the open field east of the bridge, until alter dark, when the enemy withdrew altogether.An excellent bridge is now in process of construction by Gen, Lee.We cross the river to

by General «A.J.Smith's, which in\u201c turn was followed by MePherson\u2019s army corps.Sherman had continued north of the railroad trom Jackson, striking Big Black river a little west of Bridgeport.ere he crossed on his pontoon bridge, and moved upon the Vicksburg and Maines\u2019 Blufl'and Spring Dale roads, Melher- son moved out on the main Vicksburg and Jackson road, while McClernand took possession of the Baldwin's Ferry road.+ On the summit ofthe high bank across the river the column moved through the camp whence the night before the cue- my made hasty exit.On the plateau nearest the river before the hillis reached numerous tents were left standing just as the cceupants had hastily left them.They could not be destroyed under the heavy fire of our skirmishers posted on the hither bank of the river.When the Lill was reached we found abundant evidence of the demoralization of the enemy.Several piles of gun-barrels, with \u201cstocks but hall consumed, were lying by the rondside.Tents, wagons and gun earrigges were in ashes, corn | | | i { ! | fore, to learn that our advance guard the guns on the cnemy\u2019s redoubts.\u2014 Still he tried to press on,

it is because those capitalists know in their utmost hearts and souls (which are in their pockets) that such chiefs and armies will never be conquered; that our independence is sure ; and that therefore the control of the resources of the country will be in the control of our own Government and people\u2014- uot of the Yankee enemies.They are all perfectly certain in Europe that their debt will be duly paid by an independent people\u2014not denied or dishonored by the conquerors of a crushed rebellion.\u2014 Just so, if we get war-ships built in England it is not that Lord Russell or the English Government, encouruges the transaction, but that shipbuilders in Liverpool or Glasgow cannot be kept from doing an illicit stroke of business for a good employer.Ifthe Con- federaey is at a premium, she owes it to herself, And so much the bettor.We shall be all the more free to run the grand career which opens before us, and grasp our own lofty destiny.Would that ull of us understood and lnid to heart the truc nature ol that career and that destiny, and the responsibility it imposes.The estavlishment of the Cou- federacy is verily n distinct reaction against the whole course of the mistaken civilization of the age.And this is the true reason why we have been left without the sympathy of the nations until we conquered that sympathy with the sharp edge of our sword.\u2014 Lor \u201cLiberty, Equality, lraternity,\u201d we have deliberately substituted Slavery, Subordination and Government.Thoss social and political problems which rack and torture modern society we have undertaken to solve for ourselves, in our own way, and upon our own principles.That \u201camong equals equality is right ; among those who are naturally unequal, equality is choice; that there are slave races born to serve master races born to govern, Such are the fundamental principles which we inherit from the ancient world which we lifted up in the face of a perverse generation that has forgotten the wisdom of its fathers; by those principles wo live and in their defence we have shown ourselves ready to die.Reverently we feel thet our Confuderacy is a God-sent missionary to the nations, With great truths to preach.We must speak them boldly; and whoso hath cars to hear let him hear.If we had been crushed in this mighty struggle it would have been truly a judgment of lleaven against us and against our cause.Ii we had gained that cause emily, and it were without sancifying it with such a baptism of sacrificial blood, and if the policy of forcign nations had even induced them interpose on our bchalf and so saved us from this agony and bloody sweat, our position ut this day would not have been so high and clear; we should neither so fully apprehend the duty nor pous- sess so completely the power to start in our proud career, We should then have had \u201cxpectaiors,\u201d patrons and intermeddlers.\u2014 We should never have lified our thoughts up to the height of our great argument aud our national life would have been but a half life an abortionute compromise.to We start fair when our soidiers shall have sheathed their bloody weapons; then will come the task of our sages and statesmen in Luilding up society, and uttering by word and aot the truths which are its buse.And thank God the Confederates have some statesmen and thinkers up to the mark and level of the situation.\u2018There dre men in these Confederate States who have long deeply felt and earnestly striven to express, though timidly and speculatively, on what foundations of fuct, with what coiner agents of principle, our social situation was one day to be built up, fair and bright.Now is the time.Let them speak in no apologetic tone, nor place us at their peril, in any deprecau- tions attitude.This people has won the right surely \u201cto be let slone.\u201d They will accept no deduction in politics, in literature, in philosophy; they will not follow but lead not borrow but lend.They are more than content with their own principle of morals and way of life, and wiil stand upon it to the end, so help them God.Cm ® Gp The Seat of Government.Mr.Holton made a statement in an interruption of Mr.lioze's speech ou the hustings, which seems to have been misunderstood by the reporter and others, with reference to the Seat of Government, The writer of these lines stood close beside him ! when he spoke, and heard him wilh distinet- ness.Mr.Ruse asked Mr.Holton to say 1 he would resign his office if the Seat of ! Government were taken to Toronto?Mr.Holton did not give a simple categorical answer; he made some general remarksin eon- demnation of the alternate system, contending that hg had ever condemned it; but he stated without egnivocation in conclusion :\u2014 \u201cI will never bea party to the removal of the Seat of Government to Toronto under the alternate system.\u201d The writer noted this statement at the Lime, Jt is very well for the election in Montreal, and Mr.Holton cannot, with honor, escape his public pledge.But how do matters stand at Toronto?Our readers saw that My, George Brown's paper, the Globe, snecred atn similar statement made on Mr.Holton authority by one of his organs, saqjug it was very well known that Mr.Holton had always been opposed to the alternate system; but it asked: What does that amount to?And it proceeded to give the people of that section the confident assurance that the Seat of Government would go to Toronto for Lhe next four yvars.Here is the old insolence ; the old dictating the old assumption that every thing must be moulded 10 the will of Mr, Brown, who will be the real Upper Canada leader and tyrant on the present Ministerial side after the elections whether on tho right or the loft of the House, ltis just that dictation that Mr.Sicotte protests against in bis address to the electors of St, 1lyucinthe, a dictation which must have most force on a Cabinet with an Uppar Canadian majority, and a feeble Lower Canada majority.And aespite Mr, Hol- ton\u2019s explanation, a corrupt offer is made to a section to influence the election, which will work the corrupt influence expected, Two stories are told : vne in Toronto; another in Montreal ;\u2014and there is yet à third in Quebec.\u2018Chis is what is meant by holding an election under the*auspices\u201d of the Ministry.It isa sample of the tactics of the men who live on the profession of purity.\u2014 \u2018They profess puaity in order that they may better practice something else.\u2014Hu.dreul Gazette, Re - The Source of the Nile.The great Geographical secret which hus puzzled mankind for ages has been solved.Julius Cwaar declared that he would abandon his career of conquest ina moment if he could not discover, the foundation of the Nile.Bayard Taylor wrote a few years ago: \u201cSince Columbus first looked upon San Salvador, the earth has but ene emotion of tricmph left in her bestowal, and that she reserved for him who shall drink from the fountain of the White Nile.\u201d This brave drinker hasbeen found.It is Captain Speke, an Inglishman, who really discovered the luke Victoria Nyanza on the 3rd of August, 1858, but his clsim that this was the true ssu:ce of the Nile having been disèrcdited he has just returned from a second trip which confirms the claim beyond all doubt, The luke lies between the equator und four degrees south, and between longitude 51° and 32° : This is nearly the locality which the general conjecture of scientific men hod fixed upon.\u2018The river had formerly Leen traced by expeditions sent out by the Pashu of Egypt, to within five degrees of the rquator\u2014and there the exploration had stopped.The length of the Nile, as now ascertained, is something over 3000 miles.It is peculiar amony large rivers in having no affluent within 1400 miles from its mouth, and in havirg a peviodicl inundation of great regularity and fertilizing value.\u2018Ihe latter beging in June and ends in September, and is owing to the periodical raing in the region around the river's source.In the days of Herodotus 16 cubits was considered à rise necessary for a fair overflow.\u2014 Now 32 cubits is the average, which indicates the elevation of the valley by reason of the successive deposits.We do not know that the discovery of the source of the Nile is of much consequence, but itis well to have all these questions settled.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 4 ED § Pr nm Fire Last NiGnr.-Last night a fire, ol à very starting character, took place in the Canal Basin, Letween the Wellington Bridge and the Mills on the river side.At the edge of the Basin at this place, the Grand Trunk Company as we understood, had a shed reut- ed to Mr, McClellan for the storage of coal vil, a quantity of coals being, moreover, placed upon the edge of the Canal, The coal oil, the quantity of which was 200 barrels, belonged to Messrs, Darling & Co,\u2014 This oil took fire and speedily communicated the blaze to the whole neighbourhood.\"Ihe coals were shortly all on fire, and several piles of firewood.Several barges also took fire, and Lust of all a steamboat, which having burned its hawser, floated down the stream towards the Mills owned by Messrs Grant & Hall.Several engines had been playing on this building for some time before, and when the steamer upproached they threw water on it, till it sunk and fortunately did no more mischief.The spectacle was a beautiful one; during the course of the fire clouds of smoke and brilliant tourlillons of flame roliing up towards the sky, and being carried by high wind to leeward.The coal oil too, ran out over tho water, and floating there took fire, so as to spread the contlagra- tion over a large part of the Basin.So fierce aflame is very rarely scen.\u2014M.Ierald, mace meee roe &F The Steamer Mountain Maid has commenced making regular trips, Carrune or A Wurre Bran.\u2014Captuin Davies, of the barque Renfrewshire, which arrived at Quebee on Wednesduy says that when in lat 48 N und 47 40 \\V, the ship being in heavy loose ice, he observed n large white bear prowling about.He immediate- Iv lowered the Loat, gave chase, und tried to take him alive but after two hours arduous { pursuit, and 8 severe fight killed him with an uxe.\u2018The bouts crew hud him several times noosed with u running Lowline, but the old felluw wowed the bout like à steamer dived aud invariable slipped the rope.\u2018The presence of this animal, in this low latitude, is rather singular, as well us the manner of \"his capture without firearms.The Renfrew- shire wus Liree days jamined in the ice.| bons | tar The attempt Lo reduce the current Ivaue of Avscriean silver and English shillings, in Montreal, has again failed.\u2018There was an effort to allow them to pass oniy at about G per cent discount, but the market men found so much inconvenience and dissatisfaction, that they gave it up, and the shopmen foliowed thelr example.yz It is reported that Fernando Wood, joann envi w with the President disavowed Bis Late speech in New York us reported in the papes Me bs alaid of Leing sent to keep company with Vallandigham.reine 18 Gop, Gold opened in New York on Tuesday morning ut 144 1-4, and soon after declined to 143 1-2.;
