SUMMARY OF AMERICAN NEWS.
The N. Y. Trabune publishes an extract
from a naval officer's letter stating, on the!
authority of an English officer, that ‘ta pro-|
ject is on foot in England, superintended by!
Maury of the Confederate nayy, to capture |
the LU. S. squadron on the Mediteranean
station with iron clad vessels, now said to be
nearly ready for sea.”’
A hundred members of the late Congress
have united in a call for a Convention to
promote enlarged facilities for commerce be-
tween the Kust and West, to be held in
Chicago, on the first Tuesday in June. They
invite all interested, and especially ask the
co-operation and aid of the Boards of Trade,
Chambers of Commerce, Agricultural So-
cieties and business associations, as they re-
gard the enlargement of the canal between
the valley of the Mississippi and the Atlantic
as of great national, commercial, military
importance, tending to promote the develop-
mept and unity of the whole country.
Latest advices from Port Royal state that
the Yankee fleet now there numbers 123
vessels, incjuding the frigates and 20 gun-
boats. The rest are chiefly transports. There
are now 30,000 men collected there aud more
are expected.
The condition of the Federal finances at
the close of the late session of Congress, is
thus stated in the Washington news :
‘* The Appropriations made by the Thirty-
seventh Congress are as follows :
Extra Session, July, 1861, about $264,-
Long Session, ending 17th July, 1862,
$913,000 000,
Short Session, ending March 4, 1863, $1,-
100 000,000.
Receipts from duties on imports, internal
revenue, direct taxes, sale of public lands,
&e., as estimated from March 4, 1861, to
July 1, 1864, $320,000,000,— which, de-
ducted from the above sum, will leave the
amount of indebtedness up to July 1, 1864,
[From the Richmond Examiner, Feb. 10.]
We have fairly entered on the third stage indi-
cated by the President in his message, viz., that of |
a war of subjugation and extermimation. The)
people of the Confederacy, tselated and shut up|
trom allthe world, have now to encounter the!
most hornble ard demoniae effort for the assassin-|
ation of a whole race that history has yet recorded, |
or we believe will ever have to record, till history |
grows grey. For it is not every century that
shows the world a Yankee nation. Yea, the Con-
federate people have now at last to strip for
battle; it is the people that must this time very
literally conquer or die.
No p Bare it would be agreeable to believe that
this last stage of the war will soon be over, and
must end in the speedy destruction of our intended
murderers. But loek round the map of the Con-
federacy, and judge if we can soothe ourselves with
this belief. In the very heart of the country our
gallant sentinel of the Mississippi river, hervic
little Vicksburg, has sustained, indeed, and baffled
two tremendous sieges; but a third time her
citizens see pouring in around them from the north
aud the west enormous masses of the beleaguer-
ing foe, iron floating batteries again erowd upon
her, and even as you read these words, two hun-
dred heavy guns may be thundering upon her
defences, a hundred thousand mén may be pressing
to the storm of her ramparia. Again she will
drive them off, perhaps, and remain the famous
maiden city of this hemisphere, the bulwark of the
west. So be it! But the vision we see on the
Mississippi doea not look like exhaustion er des-
pair ou the part of the foe just yet.
And, again, look at the wouth of the mighty
river. New Orleans is not @ waiden city, alas !
the base rag that has so often been rent and
trampled betore Richmond and before Vicksburg
flies from all the towers of that deflowered city.
Hordes of hungry Yankees, armed to the teeth,
sit in the shades of her oratge groves, and station
negro guards over the mansions of her noblest
citizens. Alt her best and fairest have to lament
every day that their goodly city had not been laid
in ashes before it beeame a haunt of obscene
creatures. Nosignof relaxation there! And but
a short way off, Mobile, by the shore of her spaci-
ous bay, keeps diligent watch and ward, expecting
in the light of each morning sun to see the thrice
| suspicion of murder rests upon him.
| THE THIRD STAGE OF THE WAR. | TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN BUFFALO. |
On Friday last, 27th ultimo, the house of a Mr.
Douglas or Donald Frazer was burned in Buf-
falo, and his wife and three children were found
ead in the ruins. It was at first supposed that
they had perished in the flames, but although their
bodies were sadly burned, a post-mortem examin-
ation bas revealed the terrible fact that the throats
of the whole four were ent, leaving no doubt that
the house was fired in order to conceal the mur-
er. Frazer, it appeared, was once engaged in
business in Hamilton, but about twelve months ago
went to Buffalo. From the testimony of aa
acquaintance, it appears that he had about $5,000
in his possession. it was thought at first that he
had left Buffalo for Canada—as he frequently had
business to transact over there—the night before
the fire; but at the inquest he was proved to have
been at his house at half-past five on Thursday
evening.” As he has not been seen since, and as
all efforts to find him have proved unavailing, the
His most
intimate acquaintances, however, cannot point to
anything in bis past life to justify that suspicion,
unless it be that he appears to have laboured
under religious excitement. The Buffalo Courier
says:— The missing man is spoken of by those
who knew him as possessed of rather marked
reasoning powers, and of kindly and quiet disposi-
tion; but irom certain religious tracts in our pos-
session, it is evident that on religious subjects he
was a monomaniac. The title page of one of
these pamphlets, illustrated with ths picture of a
bible, bears the following: ‘Search the Serip-
tures. The Opening of Prophecy or Word of God,
Four letters Free of Charge.” This was pub-
lished by Seobell & Dack, 37 Park Row, New
York, and dated Canada, A. D., 1861, ‘The first
letteris headed, “ He that rejecteth thee rejecteth
me,”’ and opens witli the following strange para-
graph:
“ Douglas Frazer, called forth of God and raised
up from darkness to the light to declare his ways.”’
That he believed himselt specially delegated of
God to illumine the wertd, is evident from the fol-
lowing paragraph :
* And now, before proceeding any further, let me
say to my readers, that I have received a command
from the Lord to write. And the word of the Lord
came to me a second time, saying ‘‘ write, write.”’

On Wednesday evening jast, the Isth inst., a
very interesting, instructive and eloquent lecture
| was delivered before the C. Y. M. Literary In-
stitate, to a crowded audience, by the Very Rev.
| Dr. McDonald, on the “ Lapidary Monuments of
| early Christian Rome.” The Very Rev. genile-
| nan, in the eourse of his remarks, eulogised, in
glowing terms, the faith, piety. and devotion of the
| early Christians of the Eternal City, as exemplified
in the inseriptions on their monuments, the sim-
plieity of which he very properly observed, is in
strange contrast with the vanity manifested in
inany of the monumental inscriptions of the present
day. Although he viewed the whole subject in an
antiquarian, rather than in a theological aspect,
yet he showed very plainly that many of the
doctrines of the Catholie Church ean be easily
proved by these siraple, affecting inscriptions. It
would be impossible for us, with the limited space
at our command, to give even an outline of this
admirable leeture, or to deseribe the masterly
manner in which it was treated. It was very pro-
perly anggested by one of the speakers who took
part in the discussion which followed the lecture,
that the learned Doctor should be invited to deliver,
before the close of the season, another address on
seine subject relating to Rome, with everything in
reference to whieh he seems to be so well ac-
quainted, and which is eo interesting to the
Christian and the arehwologist.—Vtn.

greatly enhanced by ay jjlystrative collection of

in a practical manner the views held by the author
in regard to the formation of the system. Qne
specimen in particular attracted attention, bearing
on ite surface the forms of four or five fishes of a
genus now extinct, having the scales, head, bones,
aud even the rays of the fins, clearly perceptible
under an ordinary lens. The paper was also ac-
companied by series of colored plans showing the
different coal fields of the province.

Pristine witnout Ink.—A gentleman, a
large capitalist and one of the most succeas-|
fal inventors of the day, has succeeded in)
chemically treating the palp, during the pro- |
cess of manufacturing printing paper, in such
a manner that when the paper is impreesed
upon the aninked types the chemical par-
ticles are crushed, and perfect black im-
pression ie the result. The advantage sought
to be obtained is the discarding of ink and
rollers ; and by revolutionizing printing ma-
chinery and printing from a continuous roll
of paper, it is calculated that the time oceu-
pied ip impressing large quantities of paper
will be nomingl in comparison to the require-
ments of the present day. Cleanliness of the
printing office would thus become proverbial,
and the time now wasted in inking and dis-
tributing the roliera obviated. We have been

SUMMARY OF AMERICAN NEWS.
The N. Y. Trabune publishes an extract
from a naval officer's letter stating, on the!
authority of an English officer, that ‘ta pro-|
ject is on foot in England, superintended by!
Maury of the Confederate nayy, to capture |
the LU. S. squadron on the Mediteranean
station with iron clad vessels, now said to be
nearly ready for sea.”’
A hundred members of the late Congress
have united in a call for a Convention to
promote enlarged facilities for commerce be-
tween the Kust and West, to be held in
Chicago, on the first Tuesday in June. They
invite all interested, and especially ask the
co-operation and aid of the Boards of Trade,
Chambers of Commerce, Agricultural So-
cieties and business associations, as they re-
gard the enlargement of the canal between
the valley of the Mississippi and the Atlantic
as of great national, commercial, military
importance, tending to promote the develop-
mept and unity of the whole country.
Latest advices from Port Royal state that
the Yankee fleet now there numbers 123
vessels, incjuding the frigates and 20 gun-
boats. The rest are chiefly transports. There
are now 30,000 men collected there aud more
are expected.
The condition of the Federal finances at
the close of the late session of Congress, is
thus stated in the Washington news :
‘* The Appropriations made by the Thirty-
seventh Congress are as follows :
Extra Session, July, 1861, about $264,-
Long Session, ending 17th July, 1862,
$913,000 000,
Short Session, ending March 4, 1863, $1,-
100 000,000.
Receipts from duties on imports, internal
revenue, direct taxes, sale of public lands,
&e., as estimated from March 4, 1861, to
July 1, 1864, $320,000,000,— which, de-
ducted from the above sum, will leave the
amount of indebtedness up to July 1, 1864,
[From the Richmond Examiner, Feb. 10.]
We have fairly entered on the third stage indi-
cated by the President in his message, viz., that of |
a war of subjugation and extermimation. The)
people of the Confederacy, tselated and shut up|
trom allthe world, have now to encounter the!
most hornble ard demoniae effort for the assassin-|
ation of a whole race that history has yet recorded, |
or we believe will ever have to record, till history |
grows grey. For it is not every century that
shows the world a Yankee nation. Yea, the Con-
federate people have now at last to strip for
battle; it is the people that must this time very
literally conquer or die.
No p Bare it would be agreeable to believe that
this last stage of the war will soon be over, and
must end in the speedy destruction of our intended
murderers. But loek round the map of the Con-
federacy, and judge if we can soothe ourselves with
this belief. In the very heart of the country our
gallant sentinel of the Mississippi river, hervic
little Vicksburg, has sustained, indeed, and baffled
two tremendous sieges; but a third time her
citizens see pouring in around them from the north
aud the west enormous masses of the beleaguer-
ing foe, iron floating batteries again erowd upon
her, and even as you read these words, two hun-
dred heavy guns may be thundering upon her
defences, a hundred thousand mén may be pressing
to the storm of her ramparia. Again she will
drive them off, perhaps, and remain the famous
maiden city of this hemisphere, the bulwark of the
west. So be it! But the vision we see on the
Mississippi doea not look like exhaustion er des-
pair ou the part of the foe just yet.
And, again, look at the wouth of the mighty
river. New Orleans is not @ waiden city, alas !
the base rag that has so often been rent and
trampled betore Richmond and before Vicksburg
flies from all the towers of that deflowered city.
Hordes of hungry Yankees, armed to the teeth,
sit in the shades of her oratge groves, and station
negro guards over the mansions of her noblest
citizens. Alt her best and fairest have to lament
every day that their goodly city had not been laid
in ashes before it beeame a haunt of obscene
creatures. Nosignof relaxation there! And but
a short way off, Mobile, by the shore of her spaci-
ous bay, keeps diligent watch and ward, expecting
in the light of each morning sun to see the thrice
| suspicion of murder rests upon him.
| THE THIRD STAGE OF THE WAR. | TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN BUFFALO. |
On Friday last, 27th ultimo, the house of a Mr.
Douglas or Donald Frazer was burned in Buf-
falo, and his wife and three children were found
ead in the ruins. It was at first supposed that
they had perished in the flames, but although their
bodies were sadly burned, a post-mortem examin-
ation bas revealed the terrible fact that the throats
of the whole four were ent, leaving no doubt that
the house was fired in order to conceal the mur-
er. Frazer, it appeared, was once engaged in
business in Hamilton, but about twelve months ago
went to Buffalo. From the testimony of aa
acquaintance, it appears that he had about $5,000
in his possession. it was thought at first that he
had left Buffalo for Canada—as he frequently had
business to transact over there—the night before
the fire; but at the inquest he was proved to have
been at his house at half-past five on Thursday
evening.” As he has not been seen since, and as
all efforts to find him have proved unavailing, the
His most
intimate acquaintances, however, cannot point to
anything in bis past life to justify that suspicion,
unless it be that he appears to have laboured
under religious excitement. The Buffalo Courier
says:— The missing man is spoken of by those
who knew him as possessed of rather marked
reasoning powers, and of kindly and quiet disposi-
tion; but irom certain religious tracts in our pos-
session, it is evident that on religious subjects he
was a monomaniac. The title page of one of
these pamphlets, illustrated with ths picture of a
bible, bears the following: ‘Search the Serip-
tures. The Opening of Prophecy or Word of God,
Four letters Free of Charge.” This was pub-
lished by Seobell & Dack, 37 Park Row, New
York, and dated Canada, A. D., 1861, ‘The first
letteris headed, “ He that rejecteth thee rejecteth
me,”’ and opens witli the following strange para-
graph:
“ Douglas Frazer, called forth of God and raised
up from darkness to the light to declare his ways.”’
That he believed himselt specially delegated of
God to illumine the wertd, is evident from the fol-
lowing paragraph :
* And now, before proceeding any further, let me
say to my readers, that I have received a command
from the Lord to write. And the word of the Lord
came to me a second time, saying ‘‘ write, write.”’

On Wednesday evening jast, the Isth inst., a
very interesting, instructive and eloquent lecture
| was delivered before the C. Y. M. Literary In-
stitate, to a crowded audience, by the Very Rev.
| Dr. McDonald, on the “ Lapidary Monuments of
| early Christian Rome.” The Very Rev. genile-
| nan, in the eourse of his remarks, eulogised, in
glowing terms, the faith, piety. and devotion of the
| early Christians of the Eternal City, as exemplified
in the inseriptions on their monuments, the sim-
plieity of which he very properly observed, is in
strange contrast with the vanity manifested in
inany of the monumental inscriptions of the present
day. Although he viewed the whole subject in an
antiquarian, rather than in a theological aspect,
yet he showed very plainly that many of the
doctrines of the Catholie Church ean be easily
proved by these siraple, affecting inscriptions. It
would be impossible for us, with the limited space
at our command, to give even an outline of this
admirable leeture, or to deseribe the masterly
manner in which it was treated. It was very pro-
perly anggested by one of the speakers who took
part in the discussion which followed the lecture,
that the learned Doctor should be invited to deliver,
before the close of the season, another address on
seine subject relating to Rome, with everything in
reference to whieh he seems to be so well ac-
quainted, and which is eo interesting to the
Christian and the arehwologist.—Vtn.

greatly enhanced by ay jjlystrative collection of

genus now extinct, having the scales, head, bones,
aud even the rays of the fins, clearly perceptible
under an ordinary lens. The paper was also ac-

Pristine witnout Ink.—A gentleman, a
large capitalist and one of the most succeas-|
fal inventors of the day, has succeeded in)
chemically treating the palp, during the pro- |
cess of manufacturing printing paper, in such
a manner that when the paper is impreesed
upon the aninked types the chemical par-
ticles are crushed, and perfect black im-
pression ie the result. The advantage sought
to be obtained is the discarding of ink and
rollers ; and by revolutionizing printing ma-
chinery and printing from a continuous roll
of paper, it is calculated that the time oceu-
pied ip impressing large quantities of paper
will be nomingl in comparison to the require-
ments of the present day. Cleanliness of the
printing office would thus become proverbial,
and the time now wasted in inking and dis-
tributing the roliera obviated. We have been

of the same family—Daniel, aged 26, and his sister,

not impair the general health at first, ultimately
such must be their effect if permitted to coftinue

Holloway’s Ointment, well rubbed upon the af-
fected part twice a day, gives instant ease, and
secureg y}tjmate recovery.

prevent all weak and numb feelings, so apt to pre-
vail aftey neuyalgic and rheumatic attacks. A

severe attack of rheujpatism, and obtaining ne re-
lief from the faculty, I tried your Ointment and
Pills, and rejoice to shy they quickly cured me.”
