C. about the latter end of January, 1862. Nothing of consequence occurred to the regiment beyond the ordinary routice of garrieon duty, until the month of May, when an expedition was undertaken against the city of Ohurlesten, by the way of Stone River and James [sland. The 28th regiment formed part of the lind forces of this expedition. Upon the landing of the troops on James Island, they were attacked by the rebels, bat repulsed them at every point. In this enovunter the 23th especially distinguished themselves, ebarging the rebels, and captur- ing & battery of four pieces. The Federal troops poser pushed on, under cover of the gun boats, which were sent to co-operate with them, aod render al! needed assistance By the 12th or 13th of June, they had reached a positien in close proximity to ex tensive and formidable feld works, erected the rebels, to prevent approach in that direction.

For several weeks the official editor of the | ‘Islander’ has laboured very assiduously to make )! | written by Sir D. Daly in 1555 with the view of litical capital out of one or two despatches indueing the British Government to sanction a | Pill, passed by the Liberal Adininistration of that | day, the object of which was, as Mr. Pope states, to enable the Proprietors to collect their rents at ; the point of the bayonet. In short, he says, the Rent Roll Bul was expressly designed “ FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE LANDLORDS,” and that the tenants would be required to pay a large sum otf money te carry it into effect. We think it would be impossible for any man to frame a more impu- dent falsehood than this; and when Mr, Pope has recourse to such a wretched falsehood—so trans- parently false is it that scarcely any argument is required to refute it—he gives evidence that he is put to a desperate strait for means to prop up the /unpepular and sinking Government whose chiet | officer he is — who does nothing for the large sa- | lary he receryes but to write untruthful editorials for the Queen’s Printer, and who, when the crash aving con- tributed to the downfall of the Government more than any other individual in the Colony. The puerile dodge of attempting to establish an identity of feeling and principle between the lead- ing men of the Liberal party and the land pro- privtors, is not the offspring of Pope's maliguant genius. It was conceived in the more prolifie brains of his predecessor in the editerial chair, the late D. McLean; but although the defunct editor used all his acknowledged power to make it a pre- sentable object tu the seeiety of Toryisin in this Island, the parent became ashamed of the brat, and it was soon kicked into oblivion. When the Liberal Government in the same Session of 1855, in reference to which Sir Dowinick Daly wrote a despateh, urging it upon the favourable notice of the Crown, and of course it must be regarded as a proof, equally good as the foregoing, of the friendly feelings entertained by the Liberals to- wards the Proprietors. We allude tothe Tenant Compensation Bil. We need not say that the Proprictors were quite as strongly opposed to this measure as to the one last noticed. The fact is well known. Their fury was directed against both alike. But at the end of the Petition which was %Wrwarded te the Queen against the Tenant Compensation Bill, we find the naine of “ Wm. H. Pope, as agent for Capt. and Mrs. Cumber- land, owners of half Tewnship No. 65, and lands in Charlottetown and Royalty.” All very well. Mr. Pope says the Liberals were engaged in pro- tecting the interests of the Proprietors in that year of grace 1055. If that were the case, why did he put kis name to a petition the object of which was to destroy one of their most important serve our “lives and liberties” is te quietly put up with the chances of war. But the efforts put forth to sustain the Volun- teer movement in the Colonies is somewhat simi- lar to the means resorted to in disposing of quack medicines. Tons of pills are sold in New York because of the wondertul cures performed by said pills in London. They are disposed of in London because of their miraculous effects in New York or Paris. A large sum, says Col. Gray, should be given by our Legislature to sustain the Volunteers in this Island, because of the encouragement which the movement receives in Nova Scotia. Will it be believed that P. E. Island is held up as an ex- ample in faver of the Volunteers in Nova Scotia? A meeting was held in the City Hall in Charlotte- town, tu take into consideration the propriety of sending some of the Volunteers to Wimbleden. The ‘Monitor’ publishes an account of it, in which the editor alleged that Col. Haviland opened a sub- pondent a lengthy report of the elognent speeches which were delivered by such great orators as J. B. Cooper, John Arbuckle & Co., at the Orange Tea Party or Pie Nic on Tuesday last, but we must say that we do not attach so much impor tance to the affair as to give up the large space which the report of our correspondent would re- quire. We have received another communication in reference to this event, in which the writer complains that harmless animals of the bovine tribe were made to flaunt yellow ribbons on their horns in honour of King William and the Boyne, We must acknowledge that we feel for the poor cows in the degradation to which they were ex- posed by their Orange owners; but we suggest that if cows are to be subjected to this humiliation again, would it not be better fo have the ribbon tied to the tail of the animal, as that would be the best place for preserving the peculiar colour of the interesting emblem. scription list, and realised £40 to be given for prize shooting. The ‘Colonist,’ a paper published at Halifax, copies this notice, and holds it up as measures, and did it “as the Agent of Capt. and Mrs. Cumberland,” two Proprietors? But we must give an extract from this petition, alse, te shew with what grateful feelings the Proprietors regarded their friends the Liberals in 1855. The Petition against the Tenant Compensation Lil] will be found in the same Journal, Appendix E, from which we made the other quotation. The extract is as follows :— “That the Bill directs the arbitrators ‘to take into consideration any expendiiure of manure, lime, or any other matter calculated to improve the temporary fertility ef the soil, and to award a recompomxe therefor,’ a convincing proof that the trae intention of he Bill is to prevent the landlord from ever. recovering his Tent, when it has onee been suffered to fall into arrear, as an award made upon sack principles would, in most cases, amount the land. : *“ That it is a specimen of class legislation of the most odious kind, and can serve no other end than .

Now, the fact is that only about twenty persons were in atten- | dance at the public meeting in the City Hall, and as to the £40, Mr. Haviland, after plying the trade of military mendicant for several days, had hard work in getting persons to promise to give that amount. Mr. Haviland at the meeting made the following statements, which are to be found in a full account of the meeting, published in ‘Ross's Weekly,’ and which shew, very candidly, the slender interest taken in the Volunteer movement in this Island :—* The only funds at the disposal of the Ritie Association were made up by the ini- tiation fee of £1, which constituted a person a the Association they had not a large fund.

In short, the Orangemen had a good time of it; and we congyatulate them, their they enjoyed. pt LATEST FROM EUROPE, Great Eastern ovr Care Race.

The Proprietors were in a furious rage at the Liberals for bringing before the Legislature such a measure. Every Proprieter and every Agent in both branches opposed the Bill in all its stages. But failing in their opposition to it in the Legislature, they addressed a petition to the Queen, praying-that the Bill might be disallowed. Mr. Pope was well aware of the existence of this Petition, and of all’ the statements it contains. It is printed in the Mouse of Assembly Journal of 1856, Appendix E; and we make the following extract from it to shew the stupid folly of the Co- lonial Seeretary in representing the Bill under consideration asa “protection to the landlords :”"— “The undersigned humbly pray that your Ma- to the suid Hill, for the following among other reasons. _“ That the real object of the Bill is not what it purports to be onthe face of it. According to the preamble of the Bill, it is intended to proyide a fund for the purpose of maintaining an armed force, in case the necessities of the ‘should demand that such a force should be raised. For in reality itis one of a series of measures, the avowed purpose of which is to compel the owners of Township Lands téeonvey the same to the lo- cal Government of thisdsland, to be by it disposed of to the present tenantry in freehold, and to those usually termed “ Squatters,” who have taken and hold possession without the consent of the owner. “The truth of this assertion is of easy proof. During the course of the Session, the long agitated question of Escheat came before the House of Assembly, and in a speech of the Hon. George Coles, Colonial Secretary and President of the Exeeutive Council, delivered when thé whole House was in Committee, the true intent of pass- ing this, with the other Bills alluded. to, is thus adverted to by the Hon. Colonial Secretary; * Believing that Escheat was impracticable, I have introduced and carried ether measures for the benefit of the people, at the expense of the pro- rietors ;’ aud subsequently in the same speech, | e says: ‘1 aim satisfied that this House hos it in| its power to mitigate the hardships on t The | try, arising from the original grants ; tha’ remedy | is by taxing the lands of the proprietors; under | that system, the proprietors will soon be glad to! come 1 and offer their lands to the Goverument, under the Land Purchase’ Bill’ And again— regret that the minds of the people are agitated va this question, (Escheat.) Had it not been for parties exciting them and bolding out false hopes, every thing would have gone on quietly, and the Land Furehase Bill, the Edacation Act, and the pees Pe be taxing the Rent Rolls of the roprieturs, would have had the effect of inducing a reasonable and equitable setilement of the teu- antry.’ “What is meant by * reasonable and equitable settlement’ in the nind-ef tke speaker, it is thu- possible to say, woless it be that the proprietors are to foregy all arrears of rent and dispose of their lands, either to the tenantry or to the local Goverunent, at one-third of tcir value, that be- te te Now, in looking at the first argument, and it is the only one in Mr. Haviland’s first speech in favor of the grant of £400, we are surprised that the leader of the Volunteers did not find a better one, as he should have known that it would be Wiser to induce people, who dreaded foreign in- vasion, to give money to render the Volunteers efficient marksmen, to tell them that at the shooting match held at Government grounds last summer one whele company had to be turned off the grounds, beeause of their random shooting, whilst Volunteers of other companies displayed their “ efficiency,” by nearly killing the Adjutant General, and destroying the beauty of a field of turnip-tops. As to the efficiency of the Volunteers, the turnip-tep shooting might be given as a set off against the shooting at Sussex Vale. But suppose that every Volunteer in the Island was as good a marksman as the gentlemen who went from this place to compete in New Brunswick, would that prove that our Volunteer force of 1862 on paper, would be “ efficient” in repelling the attacks of an ipyading foe? But further supposing, that the Volunteer organization is entitled to the credit of producing not only good shote—to which it has, as yet, certainly, no claim as to the “ champion ” shot, and the others who made high seoring at Sussex Vale were “good shots’ before ever the Volunteer movement was inaugurated—but that it has produced a well disciplined foree which could be brought together at an hour's warning— yetany foree which the Island could raise, would be of not the least avail to resist invasion. We have seen in the American Civil War a recent illustration of the non-efficiency of land forces when opposed to naval armaments. New Orleans, a very large and important city of the Southern States, though strongly fortified, immediately surrendered, when the gans of the Federal Fleet were brought to bear upon it, although there were cecdy te defend the Crescent City, underable and experienced generals, above 30,000 disciplined troops. When ovce the shells of an invading vessel can be lodged amongst the houses of a city, there are only two alternatives for the in- habitauts—submission or destruction to their eity. The fact that there are so many navigable har- bours in this Island would euable a single frigate, or, at most, two or three guuboats, to destroy nearly every settlement, even though every full- grown man jn the colony were to attempt to resist. It must be obvious, therefore, that if the military gentlemen in the Legislature are serious ‘in wishing to detend the Island, they should propose the expenditure of a sufficient sum of money on two or more floating batteries, built on the same priueiple as the -Munitor. his would: be the “observed. ing troops to defend Canada! Even if we had anything to fear from the peo- ple of the United States, we have shewn that our Volunteers would not be of any benefit, and if further proof were required, it is to be found in the display made by them on their last “ field day.” ~The American people are amicably dis- posed towards the colonists, even yet notwith- standing the vituperation indulged in by our rabid illiterate press, and our shallow statesmen towards the United States in the hour of misfortune. ‘They might wish to see the British North American Co- lonies States of the Union, having the sole coutre! of their own local affairs, and not governed, as they are in some degree at present, by the under- strappers in the Colonial Office in Downing Street, or by some half dozen of absentee land proprietors ; but they could not desire to have these colonies as subjugated territories. It is for our interests to be on friendly terms with the UuitedStates, They farnish the markets for the pro- ducts of our farmers and the workshops of our mechanics, beside being the guide of our Statute Book, The members of Assembly do not repre- sent the good feelings of the people of this Colony towards the United States, when they say of the American population that it is made up of ‘ruffians,’ that “they are mutually perpetrating deeds of cruelty upon each other,” that “ they would serve us in the same manner,” and such language de- serves the strongest condemnation. Messrs. Gray, Hayiland and MacAulay will not bring an invad- img army to our shores, but such irritating lan- guage may be the means of making the American people abregate the Reciprocity Treaty—without which this Colony would be again at the mercy of the plundering barter and order system. Here- in lies real danger, which, should it come, will be through the madness of our military alarunsts, and not through the more sensible “ ruffians ” of the United States. We have alluded to the “ field day” as an evi- dence of the importance of the Volunteers in keep- ing off invasion. Now, without desiring to im- pugn the courage of the Volunteers, it is but fair to suppose that a greater pumber would turn out on a“ gala day” to amuse themselves than would muster to engage in “ mortal combat” with a host of dauntless Zouaves, fiery Tureos, or blood-thirsty * Ruffians ”’— it is but fair te assume that the Commanders would play their part more correctly oa the Barrack Square than before an enemy, Well, although more than a mouth’s notice was given, although the Mayor proclaimed a general holiday, although the sun shone brightly, and the breeze blew fairly, although, in a word, all things conspired to make the field day of the Volunteers a great military display,—the affair was small in- deed. Let us describe the host as it passed in review. First, QueEN’s Counry CavaLry, numbering 9 mounted men and 1 officer; after them City Artillery, 45 men, officers and 4 guns, making a respectable appearance contrasted with the rest; next 5 companies of Volunteers, num- bering in all about 125 rank and file, commanded by 45 commissioned and non-commissioned offi cers; and last theugh not least in this impressive “battle array,” came Adjatant Currie, “ unhorsed, yet Wearing spurs,” seeming like Achilles, the hero of Homer's ftiad, to be invulnerable, except in the heel.
