- -———e — IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE STATES

We have been informed by the Superintendant of the News Room that a telegram has been re- eeived, anuouncing, not the defeat, but the sur- render of the chivalrous Lee and his army to the Federal Geveral, Grant,

If this telegram be true the civil war is virtu- ally at an end; and those Colonies are now about

te be affected in their political relations in a manner and to a degree which many of thei: populations had never anticipated. The con-

siderations which this intelligence naturally sug- gests are of (he gravest character,

It is idle to shut our eyes to the facts and cir- cumstances, which, in the Northern States, before the Union directed the eye of the spoiler towards Canada, and the natural and inevitable resu't of the various complications which arose, and y hich it could not be expected would not arise, between tha mother country and the portion of the beli- gerents, which it now appears is able to give vic- torious banners to the breeze. We acknowledge aur regret at the failure of the men who have bat- tled as have the Southerners, against odds, the cobsideratien of which induced vpicion in these colonies that, instead of being protracted over a period of years, the contest would have been decided ia a month or two. That this belief was entertained by the now vic- torious sectivn is proved by the act of the Fede- ral Government, having, at the beginning of the war, enlisted trvops for three moutha. The re- calcitrant aven of the South, (if it be true that they are beaten), bave at least the melaacho|y sa-

the general

tisfaction of knowing that, if they coald net com-|

mand success, they have dune all ia their power to deserve it.

We have vo hesitation in saying that a general feeling of regret is experienced by the Colonists at theresult vf thecivilwar. In stating this fact we de net requir tv reflect upen the poliey pursu- ed by the Federal Geverament at Washington. As Eiritish euljecta, we thought that the priaciples of natioeal law, recognized by ali the peuples ot the world, having, or pretending to have any right te be considered acquainted with tbe rules which govern the mutual relations of eomauni- ties, would bave been respected by the purtics whe embarked in thie unhappy struggle. but public feeling in these Calewies wae shocked at

THE MAILS.

A Mail from the Colonies and from the United

iday night, having been brought by the winter | route. The outward Mails left for Pictou this morning by the Heather Bell, being ber first trip for the season.

Our Colonial files are to the filth iustant, but they contain no important news.

scare THE DEFENCES OF CANADA.

The Scottish American Journal, in an article upon the recent debate in the House of Lords, on Canadian defences says :—

“We regret to notice that Lord de Grey's re- ply was—like every Whig measure bearing upon Colouist affiirs that we can rewember—entirely unsatisfactory. It will not only cause universal and grievous disapy ointment in the Province, but it will probably de nore than anything that has yet arisen in the progress of the Contederation scheme, te thwart or delay that measnre, tu re- divide parties, to revive old sectional troubles, aud to undve the grave and important work of the last nine mouths. The Secretary of war made light of Colonel Jervois’ report, in as far as it preases for immediate preparations in the mat- ter of defence, and said there was nothing iu the Report that was not perfectly well known before, by all who had taken an interest in the subject Lord de Gray further said that all the Govern- ment intended to do was to apply the sum of £200, 000 to the defences of Quebec, and to do that merely in driblets of £50,000 a year. He also stated that the works recommended at other pots would be udertaken by the Canadian Gov- ernment. What fousdation the Secretary has tor this extraordinary declaration we do not know. But certain we are that the bulk of the people of Canada will be thoroughly astounded to learn that, after ali the additional expense threwn upen them by the border raids—an ex- pense in Volunteers, equipments and waintain- ance, Which cannot be less than one million dollars a year—they are now to be called on to raise five or six million dollars te enlarge the fortifications west of Quebec, and to provide for these a proper armament at an expense of a million dollars more. First of all, we speak advisedly in saying that the Province, in the present state of its finan- ces, ia utterly unable to bear any such burden. The revenue for the past year, it is true, shows a fair euneugh balance on the right side. But this is due, mainly, to the large increase in the reve- nue from customs, caused by excessive importa- tion. For Canada to go ito the market and borrow such a sam, as Lord de Gray suggests, would be te send her securities duwn at least ten per cent ia the London market. And these secu- rities now are from ten te twelve per cent lower than they Were six years age.

“ Moreover, the great party in Canada that now supports Confederation, bas studiously been } taught by ite leaders that the great work of put- } ting the defences of the Province in au efficient condition, was essentially one eutirely Imperial in its character; that it would be undertaken at the expense of the Linperial Government, and that the euntribution of the Province towards its own defence would be applied solely to the organ- ization, drill and maintenance of a vulunteer furee. All this was thoroughly understood, or supposed to be, even with federation in full view. Not the Grst bint was dropped in any quarte! that the Province, out of its already heavily baur-

ble depwctation of two of ber passeagers froin an! dened exchequer, was to go inte the stupendous

uuarmed ceseci, aud the uvativn awarded therefor to the bere of the bloodless ex; lit. j

were sworn in as members of Her Majasty’s

Executive Council, in this Province. Since oaths of office as Provincial Secretary, and Bliss Botsford, Esq , as Surveyor General, and both of these gentlemen have also been sworn in as Executive Councillors. Mr. Anglin, who accepts a seat in the Executive Council without office, was to have ieft for Fredericton this morning, but was prevented from doing so by the occurrence of a very in- teresting and gratifying dumestic event. He will, however, take his seat at an early day. Che offices of Postmaster General and Solici- tor General remain vacant; the Solicitor Generalship, net being the head of a Depart ment, will, probably, be appointed from the Legislative Counci!; and the Postmaster Generalship will be given to some member from the North Shore; or, it may be, that the Solicitor Generalship will be given to the North Shore; the office of Pcstmaster Gene- ral abolished, and another seat in the Govern- ment from the Legislative Council given to St. Jubn.

It is rumored that Mr. Wilmot. at the end of the session, will be appointed Auditor Ge- neral. There is another rumor that Sir James Carter, Chief Justice, has placed his resignation in the hands of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, and, it is thought, Mr. Allan will be made Chief Justice. The Legislature will meet between the 20th and 27th instant. ‘The Executive Council will meet to-morrow.

Willis’ Hfome Journal, New York, has an inter- esting item bearing upon the past and present of that great city: ‘ When we remember that our whole Island of Manhattan (in 1626) cost Hendrik Hudson only tacenty-four dollars, let us read over the “news” of our “ Daily Papers.” And, in our capital of New York, built on this same “ is- land of twenty thousand acres,’”’ look at the incomes of a few of our leading citizens:—our

most conspicuous “ dry-goods man,” Stewart, has fourteen million dollars mvested in real estate, pays an income-tax of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and does a business of thirty willious of dollars a year. Our most prosperous editor, Bennett of the Herald, has a house in our most fashionable street, which is said to have hundred thousand dollars.” Many of the houses of Fifth Avenue cost from one iundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thou- sand dol!ars. And (the Chronicle tells us) “ the style and magnificence of the new dwelling-houses in the upper part of New York surpass belief. Two or three just put upon the market on Murray Hill ave valued at sixty and seventy thousand dollars each, and rented at six thousand dollars annually.”

poverty and destitution. The amount required for pauper relief thie wipter will be Jarge.” A St. Juha’s, N. F, paper hus the following obser- vations on the subject-—

“Tt must appear obvious that there is a great want of industry and economy on the part of many |

| indwidulals, when we consider that in this eom-| POts

munity there are many fauules who manage to! live comfortably out of tke voyage, be it good or | bad, tegether with the produce vf their land, and} always pay their debis, whilst o.uers cau pever | pay their merchant for scarcely halt their supplies, and are depending on Government all the winter, Phe picture is certainly very gloomy; and a question very naturally arises bow is the eril to be remedied? Matters seeu to be getting worse | and worse. Some say a good svyage will set all right. We duw’t believe that ductrine. The fisheries alene will vot support the pepulation— the cultivation of the laud and the rearing of cattle must become the main stay, and the fishery an auxiliary. We waat here and there some practical farmers settled down amongst us, to set the examples of industry in clearing the land and of growing oats, barley aad wheat—the two for- mer of which we knew will grow aud ripen in our eeil, and we believe that finer pasture land for raising sheep and horned cattle is scarcely to be found anywhere than in the neighbourhood ef Bonavista, hundreds of acres of which are now lying waste and uneultivated. If some means were used to exterminate those ferocious dogs, the keeping of sheep would soon become a source of great profit. Lt is a wel] known fact that the largest owners of dogs are sume of those whio are dependent on Government aid ter the winter. Would it not be better for the Government to pay these people sv much an acre for clearing land for themselves, than to be supporting them all the winter?" re

A Boston paper, discussing the situation, has the fullowing observations upon the currency :—

“The rapidity with which Sherman’s warch has brought us within sight of the greatest mil- tary questions of the war, bas also carried us far along in another department of affairs. The swilt current of military success has brought gold dewn with a sudden spasm which gives us a foretaste of what is meant by a return to the specie basis, —the public in geueral enjoying the prospect ot a sounder condition of the currency, and of a re- sturation of the national credit, aud individuals suffering the inconvenience of an apparent loss incident to the shrinking of nominal wealth to semething mere nearly resembling us real value

“It is highly probable that in the excitement caused by military triumphs, and the evident ap- proach of the closing scenes of the rebellion, gold has fallen more rapidly than circumstances would justify. We are not to ferget that aster our ge- verals have done their work, and the national credit is fully re-established, there still remains a redundant circulation. Until that is reduced, depreciation of paper money must continue; and few financiers would be willing to take the posi- tion that depreciation from that cause alone, could be measnred by a lesa premium on gold then fifty per cent, while wany set if much higher, and believe that some reaction may take piace even from present figures.”

President Lincoin has ordered Brevet Major Gen. Anderson to raise over Fort Sumter at noon on the 14th of April the same United States flag that floated over it at the time of the rebel assault, and that it be saluted with 100 guns from Fort Sumter and from every fort and rebel battery that then fired upon Sumter; also that suitable military ceremonies be performed under direction of Major Gen. W. T. Sherman, whose operations compelled the evacuation of Charleston, or, in his absence, under direction of Gen. Gilmore, com manding that military department ; and also that the naval officers at Charleston be directed to participate in the ceremonies; and that Rev.

UNION BANK OF P. E. ISLAND.

The Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of this Bank took place on the 4th instant, being the day uppointed by Statute, although the Bank has beep in operation only ten months. The following Report was read by the Secretary :—

The Directors, at this the first Annual Meetiug of the Stockholders of the Union Bank, since iés operations first commenced, on the Ist day of June last, have the pleasure to report that the profits of the Bank for the ten months of its existeuce, after payment of all charges abroad up to last accounts, and after payment of inter- est paid aud due te customers on deposits, amounts to £1,578 0 1.

A Dividend of £6 per cent on the paid up capi- ital stock for a half year, ending on the first De- cember iast, amounting to £665, has already been paid to the stockholders, ever and above which sui there remained a surplus of profits amount- ing to £381, of which sum £100 was appropriat- ed to write off expense of Bank fittings, ete., and the balance is avilable as a rest, or for future appropriation.

‘The Direetors are gratified at being able to state, that although their operations commenced at the dullest season for Banking, and they had to contend with such opposition as a vew institu- tion of the kind must expect to meet wita, yet that the Bank has steadily maintained its position, its business operations bave largely increased, and it now has a large patronage, and enjoys publie confidence, as is evidenced by its stock al- ready commanding a large premium; and it has happily, up to the preseut time, met with no losses That the finances are in a sound and prosperous condition, as will appear from the printed return of the state of the Bank, aud containing a detail- ed account of its past operations this day eubmit- ted to the Stockholders.

The second call of 35 per cent on the capital atock, made last February, bas been responded to; and the paid up capital now amounts to £23,- 784 5s. Id.

The increasing business of the bank rendering it necessary to procurea ssistance in the Book- keeping department, the Directors have secured the services of Mr. Bubert Bellin in that behalf.

The day defiued by the Act of Incorporation, for holding the Annual Meeting, viz., the first Tuesday in April, being inconvenient t» country stockholders, on account of the bad state of the traveiliug at that season, it was deemed advisable to apply to the Legistature to bave the day chang- ed to the Jet Wednesday in March, instead of the first named day, which bas been done accordingly.

A printed return of the state of the Bank was then e’reulated, after which it was moved by the Hon. George Beer, and seconded by the Hon. James Warburton, and carried unanimously, ‘‘ That the Return shown and Report read are highly satis- factory to the Stockholders, and that the Report be adopted and published.”

the ensuing year, which resulted in all the Direc- tors for the past year being re elected.

TROUBLE IN Urau.—The Colorado News states that recently Gen, Connor established a provost guard iu Salt Lake City, for the purpose of pre- venting disorder. Brigham Young demand that they should be removed, and made preparations to attack them, and was only deterred from doing so by Gen. Connors turning his guns on Brigham’s harem and throwing his shells over the city to the country beyond, and telling him if he wanted the provest guard removed, he must remove them. The guard remained, but the discontent r mained also, aud the News thinks it probable it will svon break out in acts of vielence that will bring the Federal authorities tuto eonflict with those of the semi-ecelesiastical government of the Territory— a collision that will inevitably lead to a condition of actual war. Gen. Connor apprehend this, and is making preparations accordingly.

IioLtoway's PILLs AND OINTMENT.—Low- ness @f Spirits, Mypochendriacism, Insanity.— These formidable diseases are usually caused by a disordered condition of one or more of the di- gestive organs, and, most deplorably, commence at the merkiian ef kfe. The distressing symptoms need ne enumeration: they are known in some degree to the wisest and best of mankind, as well as to the weakest. Whenever the liver, stomach, and kidneys are roused, the morbid feelings and ideas vanish. To effect this) happy result nothing more is needed than fricture ever those organs with Holloway’s Ointment, whilst his Piils are likewise taker. Whe change of thought is imme- diate, keppy aad lasting. Those whom these medicines have cured confess that the influence of them upon the mind is magieal.

Irs VALUE Is INCALCULABLE.—For all dis- eases with which children are afflicted during the process of teething, MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP is a eafe and certain re- medy. It has stood the test of thirty years, and never known to fail. Cures wind colic, regulates the bowels, softens the gums, and allays all pain.

Jupson’s Mountain Hers PItus. —Tlow strange and wonderfnl it often seems to us that a medicine composed of simple mountain herbs and roots, should so certainly search out and cure disease. How surprising that the Indians should know and preserve so long and well a seeret that has escaped the search of the greatest physicians the world has ever seen. True, the ancient in- habitants of Mexico were a strange race, found by the Spamards living in large cities, and, allow- ing for their strange customs and religion, as well civilized as their conquerors. In the words of a’ writer of some celebrity, “ they have perished from the earth, their cities are gigantic piles of ruius; their Kings and Princes, so imghty in their life, are forgotten; their ruins and their medicine alone are left’ The united testimony of all intelligent persons is, that JUDSON’S MOUNTAIN HERB PILLS are the most suc- cessful medicine in the world in curing diseases.

that does not contain Ipecae, Antimony, Lobelia, or Opium, in some form or other, which I claim to be entirely unnecessary in nine-tenths of such cases. as they produce tausea, cause the stomach to repel food, and allow disease to triumph over what nature requires to keep up strength.

Again, these objectionable components cause doses to be placed so fur apart, that the irritation which eauses the cough gets the upper hand, and the foundation of weak lungs or consumption is per- maneutly laid.

A true Cough Remedy should not only be the pocket, bedside, or nursery companion of all, and to be used just as often as there is tickling in the throat, or disposition to congh, but to allow of its free use after the cough is checked, to clear away all remaining irritation, and make the cure perfect.

Cases of most violent Sore Throat, with all the symptoms of Diptheria hawe been entirely cured by making a constant use of the Cough Remedy as u Gargle. For Hourseness it is invaluable.

The New York Tribune says, ‘* The reason why Drake’s Plantation Bitters are so universally used and have such an immense sale, is that they are al- ways made up to the original standard, of highly invigorating material and of pure quality, although the prices have so largely advanced,” dc.

The Plantation Bitters are not only made of pure material, but the people are told what it is. The Recipe is published around each Bottle, and the bottles are not reduced in size. Atleast twenty imitations and counterfeits have sprun up. They impose upon the people once and that’s the last of them.

The Plantation Bitters are now used in all the Government Hospitals, are recommended by the best physicians, and are warranted to produce an immediate beneficial effect. Facts are stubborn things.

New-Beprorp, Mass., Nov. 24, 1863. Dear Sir :—I have been afflicted many years with severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and hands, and a general disordered system. Physiciacs and medicines failed to relieve me. Some friends in New York, who were using Plantation Bitters, prevailed upon me to try them. I com- menced with a small wine-glassful after dinner. Feeling better by degrees, in a few days I was as- tonished to find the coldness and cramps had en- tirely left me, and I could sleep the night through, which I had not done for years. I feel like another being. My appetite and strength have also greatly

improved by the use of the Plantation Bitters. Respectfully, JUDITH RUSSEL.”

If the ladies but knew what thousands of them are constantly relating to us, we candidly believe one half of the weakness, prostration and distress experienced by them would vanish. James Marsh, Esq., of 159 West 14th St. N.Y, says, ** be has three children, the first two are weak and puny, his wife having been unable to nurse or attend them, but that she has taken Plantation Bitters for the last two years, and has a child now eighteen months old which she Las nursed and reared her- self, and both are hearty, saucyand well. The ar- ticle is invaluable to mothers,” &c.

Such evidence might be contirued for a volume The best evidence is to try them. They speak for themselves. Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with weakness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, constipation, diabetes, &c., will find speedy relief through these bitters.

Every bottle for exportation and sale out of the United States has a metal cap and green label around the neck.

Beware of re-filled bottles, See that the cap has not been mutilated. Any persen pretending to sell Plantation Bitters in bulk or by the gallon is anim- postor. We sell it only in bottles.
