To the Edit

Dear in,—l notice by your leader in Wednesday's ExaMINER, that vouarein favor of the Capes, as the winter route between this Islan! and the mainland during the winter mouths. In this opinion, l am free to admit, 4 great many thoughtful. men— possessed of considerable practical know- ledge of tle subject—heartily coincide. To say nothing of the opinions of such men as the brave and enthusiastic Captains Irving and Muttart, we have numerons and dis- interested advocates of the Cape route. Being the shortest route, they say, it is, consequel tly, the best route. This kind of argument is rather weak, unless there is something better in the backgroud to sus- tain it. ‘Some persons ‘have even gone sv far as to recommend the advisability of placing the * Northern Light’ on that route now,in anticipation of the Capes Tormeutiue and Traverse Railways, which the peopl» of Amherst are at present build- ing—in t \eir imaginations, at least. The experien aof the ‘‘ Northern Light,” for the last few days, is not encouraging to those who desire to see her test the Capes’ route, for a paragraph in the same paper in which your remarks on winter communi- cation appear, informs us that she is stuck in the ice two miles south of the Summer- side light-house, and it is said she will have hard work to get clear. Pray, is Capt. Irving on board ?

It is fortunate for the reputation of the Minister of Marine that the ‘‘ Northern Light” was merely ordered West for the purpose of relieving vessels icebound at Summerside, and not for the purpose of testing tlie proposed route. It is sincerely hoped she may work her way clear to open water on the old route between Georgetown and Pictou. At the present writing George- town, Grand River and Souris harbor are as clear of ice as in summertime—with open water all along the coast east of Georgetown, as far as the eye can see.

Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the advisability or otherwise of building the Capes Branch Railway there can be but one candid opinion as to the utter folly of beliesing, that steam commu- nication can be kept up during the winter months between the Capes by any kind of ateamer known to the civilized world. True I have heard intelligent men say that even the abused and somewhat despised ‘‘North- ern Light” could run at the Capes the entire winter. How the fete is to be accom- plished remains a query to me, and every- body else at all acquainted with the locality in question. When it is clearly demonstra- ted that Steamers can be made to run on top of or under ice, or on dry land, then and not till then, will I believe, that the Northera or any ether Light can ply

y of the Bxami:

betwee, the Capes during the entire winter. In midwinter the present or improved iceboats _—-wilil, in my

opinion. continue to he used as the only mode of travel to and from the mainland. There ray be an occasional very fine win- ter when steamers can run the whole sea- son, bit this will be the exception, not the rule; and when it does occur the steam- ers will not be found plying in the narrow, qce-choxed Straits between the Capes, with the tide running as fast, if not faster,

‘ than one of our express trains, but on the

old rouce between Georgetown and Picton er possibly Cape George.

Before a large amount of money is ex- pended in building the Capes Branch Rail- ways | would like to see a second winter steamer placed on the Georgetown-Pictou route. I don't wish to see another “ Northern Light” brought into service, altHouvh I believe herto bea much better boat than she gets credit for. With too well equipped steamers, the fall and spring traffic, could be successfully carried on, and during the greater part of winter mails and passengers might cross with case and regularity.

Believing that you, Mr. Editor, are pre- pared to discuss the subject of Winter Comm inication, not from a party or sec tional view, but from a purely independ- ent anil patriotic standpoint,

alae A SPECIAL train wiil leave this city at 3.30 ia. m., on Monday morning, to connect with the ** Northern Light.”’ ; — is Gaguic Taepuirs.—-Trophies of Scotch valor and samples of the ‘* Garb of the Gael” were exhibited at an inaugnral address of a Literary aud Historical Society, at Quebec, on the evening of the St, Andrew’s Day. Among those “the sword of Brigadier-General R. Montgomery” was placed at the disposal of the society by Mr, James Thompson, a lineal descendent of Wolfe's veteran, James Thomp- son. This valued trophy of a worthy ancestor, will, doubtless, be highly appreciated by that society. Addresses and lectures on Scottish literature and history under the auspices of the Ualedonion Cinb of this city would be pro- motive of friendly relations among its mem- bers and tend to perpetuate the imemory of Scotland’s noble and valiant sons among their descendant’s in America,

We learn that a large meeting, consisting mainly of tenants on the Montgomery pertion of Lot 59, was held at Whim Koad Cross last evening, at which resolutions condemnatory of the proceedings recently taken under the Land Purchase Act, and asking for a remis- sion of interest on open accounts, and a fur- ther extension of time for six years, were passed. While we think that these demands are unreasonable, and any agitation on the subject to be deprecated, we are pleased to hear that the people of Whim Road are de- termined to keep the question apart from party politics. A resolution calling on the representatives of the District to withdraw their support from the Government because members of the present Adwinistration de- clined to promise the concessions asked for, was withdrawn, having received no support from the intelligent electors present. The meeting was attended, we learn, by Messrs. W. D. Stewart and Henry Lawson, who did their best to make political capital out of the question, but with very little success. The transparent dishonesty of this conduct is such that it requires no exposure from us.
