There are other generals who are spoken of as civil engineers on our railroads. Almost every store bas a colonel or major. There are three distinguished eclonels extensively en- gaged in the auction business.

Mr. Eprror:—

I mnst confess that T was a good deal surprised on reading the leading article of the Eraminer of the 16th inst. The marked approval of the policy of our present Conservalive Government

expressed therein, was not what T expected from | the Editor of the Examiner. Pretty phrases and | well turned compliments are very pleasant ihings |—in their place; but the following extract from | the aforesaid article is, m my opinion, a little too sweet to be wholesome :—* That their—the Go- i vernment’s — having precured the sending of

Here is a class of men who are well able to meet their engagements—who have been warm snpporters of the present Government —who used to sneer at the Liberals as the pro- moters of disorder and discontent — and who growled fiercely at the slightest allusion to the “Bloody Despatch,” which authorised the euppression of disorderly conduct by military foree, and are now compelled themselves to trot inte obedience to the laws, and to act, if possible, as honest men, at the sharp point of the bayonet. We have nota particle of sympathy for them ; but we beg our friends abroad not to believe that our population, to any great extent, is infect- ed by the ruffianiem of the Orangemen in Queen's County. Ttis deep humiliation to know that we must live in the same country with them; and it must severely try the patience of the peaceable and well-dispesed subjects of Mer Majesty in other parts of the Island to know that they must contribute their quota towards the expense ~ curred in suppressing the lawless and riotous | outrages of the Orange rowdies, The Government advocates will, no doubt, say, that the Administra- tion could not prevent the state of things which now disgraces the country. They are not, per- haps, directly answerable in the eye of the law, for the outrages of the Tenant League, and its mis- guided sympathisers; but the agitation which pre- vails is unquestionably the result of a false and deceptive policy on the part of the Government

In the cattle class there was nothing very par- ticular. It is to be regretted that our best breeders take so little interest in this part of the show. Agriculture in this Island being our main and almost our only soutee of wealth, it is unae- countable that so much apathy should exist, both ou the part of the Government and the public generally, with regard to this all-important indus-

trial pursuit. Twenty years ago there was far more progress made than there is at the present day.

In view of our present state of affairs, we have received from an esteemed correspondent the fol- lowing communication, to which we give a promi- uent place, net because we believe all his fears are well grounded, but because his remarks are entitled to: great consideration, the times being full of peril and demanding extreme watchfulness. We have heard nothing, and of course know no- thing of the “plot” to which “a Tax Payer” refers; but he may rest assured that our rulers would not be so mad as to entertain it; or that even if they did it, the present House of Assem- bly, bad as it is, has patriotism enough to frus- trate it.
