Awericao citizeus who were here, became furious on recog: nizing the @bnoxious culors so difiantly displayed. Those tew p mpous Yankees deemed their feelings and their pride in- sulted, and prompily resulted to redress the outrage. They called upon the Civie authorities with an impertinent request tu have the banner of their renegade brethren remove! forth- with from the shep. The Mayor wisely refused to interiere in the macter, and thereupon the loyal Down-basters assumed the buld preject of capturing the vessel and devouring the flag. They were reeewed, however, by the chivalrous South-

ern Captara with an intimation that the only resistance they |

weu'd meet with, should they step on board, would be ihe coatents of revolvers. This little Confederacy of Northerners —two of whom were until recently British Colonists—re- treated frum the scene of excitement without effectuating their impudent design; but their national vanity was so wounded ¢ iat tuey issued peremptory orders to all Northern vessels in the barber to haul down their colors, and which was imime- diately compixed with. ,

An emigrant ship arrived here last week from Glasgow w th 134 passeagers on evuntry upow land secured from the Government by a Rev. Presbyterian clergyman, The vessel is performing quarantin: mm eunsequence of the small pox being on board, from which a few of the emigrants died while on the passage to this country.

The Executive Council has been deliberating for the last |

few dave in sclemn conclave upon maiters of grave importance. It is thought thata remodeling of the Council will bee me necessary to conetliate sume of the hesitating supporters of the Government.

The Elections are over, and it is difficult to predict what form of government—or rather what party will rule the Pro- vince. Phere are 20 new members returned; 9 of the old House offered, and were rejected. The Conservatives are with- out a competent leader: the Liberals count 23 or 24 sapport ers of their policy, and who, if properly consulted in the com- positive of the Executive, will secure the tr.umph of the Go- vernment for the next four years.

Stmr—I would be much y leased if L could but learn why Acadian ‘Teachers are deprived of the honour (if it can be valled an honour) of their sehools being visited by the School Visitor, and thus be a little encouraged in their laborious task as are our fellow-countrymen of other nations.

FR.

for the School Visitor is paid by the Acadians as well as by others. I beleve they pay as greata share of the public revenue as any others in proportion to the population. Per- haps they are not thought so worthy of his attention as others, on account of their learning being somewhat more limited in the English language than is that of some of the other na- tions ; but I think that some of them are by far better English speakers than are many of the English Teachers themselves. Well, supposing that they were inferior to others in that respect, | think that an uilowance should be made for the Freneh language wuich they are bound to know and teach. Surely, sccording to justice, they should not be disregarded and beheld with contempt. 1 would ask t.e gentlemen who compose the Board of Education, whether in justice they would not think that the Acadians are ag well entitled to u share of the public revenue as any others? If they are not, why make them pay assessment and other tuxes? Why are they bound by law to obey the Government? If they are compelled to pay the taxes, and are not allowed to enjoy equal rights with others, they may be put on a par with African slaves. Are they nut considered as free and loyal subjects ? Are we not in a free country, and moreover, are we not in a country where slavery is pretended t» be held in the greatest abhorrence, particularly by those gentlemen who hold the reins of Government? Why, then, do they consent to such unfair dealings being carried on? Llow long will we have to deal with men of such privci; les?

And again did these gentlemen, (if they can he called gen- tlemen), think that the poor, oppressed und disregarded

Acadian Teachers had more than suffiicient—I do pot say |

enough—bul ‘Merely sufficient in the forty pounds that were granted themeby the late Government, when they reduced it to £55? It is truly « disgrace to the Colony to see such deeds done by wen who boast of being just and honest in their deal- ings with their fellow-countrymen. 1 long to see the day that will deeide our fate for another term of four years; for | have a hope that we shall be delivered from this oppressive power, that would crus us to atoms would it exist ten years more. Therefore, I would advise the public in general to op- pose this tyrannical ruling power at the coming election. It may be said it is time enough to give such an advice. [ say that ** too early precaution cannot be-taken aguinst foreseen danger.’’ Should this oppressive power prove successful in the struggle, the poorer class not only of Acadians, but of al! other nations—indeed, I might say the country in general, excepting the Palmers, Yeos, Longwortls, Popes, and the few others who hold the reins of Government, may bow their heads aod lower their necks to the yoke of slavery.

This is the first time that | have ventured t» write for the press, but, should you think this worthy of your attention and pubiish it, it may mot be the last.

CIVIL WAR IN THE STATES. AUTHENTIC ACCOUNTS FROM THE SOUTH.

The Boston Traveller furnishes some interesting informa- | tion from the South, obtained from a Northern gentleman.

just arrived, who has been employed upon one of the South-

ero railroads for the past five years, and who, from his in- telligence, knowledge of engineering. and testimonials, is every way worthy of belief in regard to the statesments |

whieh he makes.

And first, as to the real condition of affairs at the South. He has not a doubt that there are impressed into the rebel arwies many Northervers who are at heart Union men. Of the Southerners generally al! he can say is that their almost unanimous declaration was that they would never submit to the domination of the North, He has conversed with many of the leading men, and among others with Jefferson Davis, the rebel President, of whom be inquired as to the prospects

f the South in the coming contest.

Mr. Davis at that time bad unbounded confidence in a division of the North, which would eripp!e their power, and under euch circumstances he had not a doubt of the ability of the South to maintain their independence. This was also the opinion of the Southern people generally. At Pensacola, ©: the eighth of June, al! was quiet. The Southern Govern- ment was making this position a camp fpr their troops: that is, they were sending off the well-drilled troops to Virginia, and supplying their places with new recruits, to be made in- to good soldiers. They have long ago given up the intention

@ taking Fort Pickens. Col. Lomax, of the rebel army, |

told this gentleman that they eaudd take the Fort, but it would cost many thousands of their men, including a large number of the sous of rich plafiters, aud it would uot pay for so great a sacrifice,

At Pensacola there were many plautera oceupyiog the porition of common soidiers.

The troops, both federal and rebel, were in a good state of health.

There has been no sickness of consequence in the rebel camp. The soldiers have pleaty ,of tood, but the great

News came that the agent of Brown Brothers, (the great English banking firm) at New York, had subscribed twenty- five thousand dollars to the soldiers’ fund of the North. Upon this about five thousand men proceeded to the office of the agent of the firm in New Orleans, tock down his sign and ordered him to leave the city. The Mayor put up the sign, but the mob tuok it down again, and the ageut was obliged to leave.

He gives a conclusive item in regard to the continued ship- ments of provision to the South, Le was at Bowling Green, Kentucky, last Monday. He there couoted one hundred and two cars loaded with bacon, and two hundred and eight load- ;ed with four, all bound South. At Union City, near the Kentucky line, there was an army of eleven thousand men.
