     My Dean Stx,—You are aware, of course,

     the New Londuuers to their homage to the 
     
     Government. But, alas, how often are our 
     
     fondest hopes destroyed by what we thought 
     
     the surest means of bringing about their re- 
     
     alization! This has been the case with the 
     
     Government. The man on whom they had 
     
     built their hopes bas beeo found unequal to

     the troubles of 1843 drove him from that 
     
     gountry , ud, although he was then & revo: 
     
     lutionist, it is not the least inconsisteat 10 
     
     him to bea loyal subject of a government 
     
     wuder which he enjoys all those liberties 
     
     which were denied him and of which he was 
     
     only dreumigg when in Ireland. For that 
     
     great curse of Ireland, and of all countries 
     
     where it reigns supreme—absentee landlord- 
     
     ism-—and where it is sanctioned and approved 
     
     of by the Legislature, the same as it is iD 
     
     this Telund, will make the tenantry disaffect- 
     
     ed with any goverument that gives it their 
     
     support, the same as our present Jandlord 
     
     Government on this Island; and | am very 
     
     sure thet if the majority of the tenantry of 
     
     this Island were citizens of the United States, 
     
     and evjovying the same freedom us those ex-

     feel anxious for the success of a measure of 
     
     such vital importance to the rising genera- 
     
     tion. The Act, fam sorry to say, (owing to 
     
     the negligence of the Government and the 
     
    
   
   
    
     Visitor of Schools), is not working well. | 
     
    
   
   
    
     This I atteibute more particularly to the 
     
     Visitoz, who appears to be more devoted to 
     
     politics and to the temperance cause* than to 
     
     the duties of his office. But to come to facts: 
     
     Mr. Arbuckle called at our Schoolhouse about 
     
     the Istof Mareh, 1862; but, being in a great 
     
     hurry. told the Master he would inspect his 
     
     schoo) on his return on another day. He did 
     
     not, however, make his appesrance until the 
     
     echolars were dismissed ; and be has not been 
     
     near the school since, over two years having 
     
     elapsed since the school has beea inspected 
     
     by the Visitor. I believe there are many 
     
     more schools in this part of the Island which 
     
     have suffered from similar neglect. However, 
     
     this is a matter of small importance to what 
     
     follows. Mr. Arbuckle’s time being no doubt 
     
     better employed, he last winter wrote to the 
     
     Teacher of the Port Hill sehool, as kL have 
     
     been informed, requesting him to visit certain 
     
     schools in that neighbourhood, and report 
     
     upon them for him by the time he next came 
     
     to visit his school. The Master forgot all 
     
     about the report uatil the Visitor arrived ; 
     
     and while the latter was at dinner, he pre-

     olitical meetings should be held at once, 
     
     and twe sound Liberals chosen to represent 
     
     us—iwen whe. bave the interest of the country 
     
     at heart, and who can express their opinions 
     
     freely without seeking to worm themselves 
     
     into offices, ae many have done. Protestants 
     
     and Catholics should be united at the cow- 
     
     ing election, if they wish to secure the re- 
     
     tarn. of men who will govern them as they 
     
     ought to be governed. It is for the interest 
     
     of both to unite, although scheming, uppr:n- 
     
     cipled office-hunters seek to blind the ten- 
     
     antry to the burden imposed upon them by 
     
     the landlords, by raising the ‘* No Popery”’ 
     
     ery ; but the days are passed in which people 
     
    
   
   
    
     }can thus be deceived by men who have poi 
     
    
   
   
    
     the slightest particle of religion. In the 
     
     meantime I will keep my eye on the Gray

     jenjoy at home, viz: free lands, and no more 
     
     oppression for non-payment of rents, which 
     
     have accumulated in years when the crops

     revalance of this annual epidemic. Seareely & 
     
     yor evening pasees without witnessing thousands 
     
     of persons — lovely young ladies and promising 
     
     young men always in the majority, assembled on 
     
     some favorite rural spot, specially dedicated for 
     
     the eccasion, enjeying—or endeavyring to enjoy—

     lY | charming at home, which, after all, is about the 
     
    
   
   
    
     best place for them. Under these circumstances, 
     
     the odds are against my going with the motley

     The Dramatic Company, who have been acting 
     
     here for the last ten weeks, have terminated their 
     
     performance for the season at the St. John Ly- 
     
    
   
   
    
     fax, there to furnish a series of inte‘lectual fersts 
     
     in the Spring Garden Theatre. The press of St. 
     
     John, with one exceptian, are unanimous in be- 
     
     stowing encomiums upon the character of this 
     
     company’s theatrical entertainments. It oecurs, 
     
     however, that the ‘ Church Witness,’ the herald 
     
     of Anglican doctrine in New Brunswick, enter- 
     
     tains a strang antipathy towards Tragedy and 
     
     Faree. It piously refused the acceptance of 8 
     
     pecuniary donation for the Protestant Orphan 
     
     Asylum offered by military officers, whose dra- 
     
     matic performance at the Institute secured the 
     
     obnoxious and unsanctijied contribution. The 
     
     righteousness of the retusal is based upon the 
     
     means and the occasion by which such proceeds 
     
     were obtained, There lies the objectionable fea- 
     
     ture in the transaction. Instead of proving be- 
     
     neficial to the recipients it would communicate a 
     
     contagion to the helpless orphaus, whose conse- 
     
     quences in after years would probably infest the 
     
     whole episcopalian body. To resist, therefore, 
     
     the first appearance of such a lamentable disease, 
     
     the guardians of orphanage reverently refrained 
     
     from polluting their spotless hands with such 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     coum. They are now about proceeding to Hali- 
     
    
   
   
    
     — 
     
    
   
   
    
     ny further advance towards Richmond, 
     
     ~~ s afeint. We suppose the boldness 
     
     of his previous movement 10 that direction 
     
     wasa part of General Halleck’s masterly com- 
     
     bivation for deceiving the enemy as to his 
     
     real intention respecting the army on James 
     
     River. 
     
    
   
   
    
     SOMETHING BRILLIANT EXPECTED — CRITICAL 
     
     PERIOD AT HAND. 
     
    

    
     This comprebeasive strategem having suc- 
     
     ceeded, we now auticipate a new exhibition 
     
     of his gereralsbip in postponing an important 
     
     battle as loog as possible. As the rebels are 
     
     at their maximum strength for the purpose 
     
     of this campaign, and Halleck will in a few 
     
     weeks be strengthened by at least two hun- 
     
     dred thousand men, delay adds to the eertain- 
     
     ty of success. The further be can induce the 
     
     rebels to light from their base of operations at 
     
     Richmond the more he places them at a dis- 
     
     advantage. Itis probable, therefore, that we 
     
     shall have @ series of brilliant manouyers and 
     
     that the coming two or three weeks will call 
     
     forth on both sides tae highest exhibitions of 
     
     military ®kill that will be witnessed in the 
     
     war; Lee aiming to bring on an early battle 
     
     as near as possible to Ricumond, and Halleck 
     
     contriving to baffle him by drawing him fur- 
     
     ther and further from his base, and postpon- 
     
     ing the battle till reinforcements to the Union 
     
     army puts victory beyond peradventure. 
     
    

    
     The coming two or three days are probably 
     
     the most critical and perilous period of the 
     
     war. But our confidence in the generalship 
     
     of Halleck leads ug to expect that be will car- 
     
     ry the army past ** the dead point of danger”’ 
     
     as ekillfully as he has extricated the command 
     
     of McClellan from its recent position.

     ing the Battle at Cedar Mountaiz : 
     
    
   
   
    
     Culpepper Court House, Aug. 16. 
     
     The efforts which a portion of the press 
     
     have manifested during the past week in mak- 
     
     | ing the first battle of Gen. Pope's army at

     are only repulsive to any right-minded men. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     MATTERS IN THE WEST. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Federal loss in the engagement at Low 
     
     Jack, Kansas, is understood to have been 150 
     
     in killed, wound :d and missing. The balance 
     
     of the foree escaped to Lexington. 
     
     of artillery was lost in the fight and that wus 
     
     taken and retaken four different times, and 
     
     was finally spiked and abandoned by the Pe- 
     
     derais. In the fight at Independence on the 
     
     llth, Gen Huagnes, who commanded a rebel 
     
     regiment at Carthage and a brigade at Wil- 
     
     son’s Creek, was killed, and the notorious 
     
     and brutal Co's. Boyd and Tnompeon were 
     
     wounded, the former fatally. : 
     
    

    
     The rumoared capture of Gen. Neleon by 
     
     the rebels near Gallatin on Monday, is utterly 
     
     false. 
     
    

    
     A tolerably well authenciated report says 
     
     that Col. Garrard with 6 or 7 hundred men 
     
     attacked Scott’s Louisiana Battery on the 
     
     20th at Laurel Bridge near Lindon. After 
     
     quite a severe fight he defeated them, eplit- 
     
     ting the rebel regiment in two parts, which 
     
     skedadled iv different directions. There are 
     
     no particulars of the losses on either side. 
     
    

    
     The Steawers Skylark and Sallie were bur- 
     
     ned by guerillas on the night of the 18th at 
     
     the mouth of Duck Creek, fifty miles above 
     
     FortHenry. TheSkylark was heavily load- 
     
     ed with Governmentstores. She got aground 
     
     and an officer unloaded a portion of her stores, 
     
     when he was attacked by thirty guerillas. 
     
     The crew being unarmed were compelled to 
     
     surrender. The guerillas after removing the 
     
     furniture and silver ware, set fire to both 
     
     boats; the crews were released on parole. 
     
    

    
     There was a siight skirmish on the 16th, 
     
     thirteen miles from Memphis, with a part of 
     
     Jeff. Thompson's cavalry. The rebels were 
     
     routed, having one killed and two wounded.

     of these objects — trade and military defeoces— 
     
     the third, owing to our insular position, being a 
     
     matter of comparatively small concern to us. It 
     
     may be said that an invitation to jein the Confer.

     be possible for them to conceal the fact, if it really 
     
     had existence, from their anxious friends the pub-

     ever, censule themselves with the reflection, that

     though they may pocket smallsalaries, either to 
     
     their own use, or to those of their friends, enjoy

     ing haine and their usual business pursvits, exeept

     Every person in New London and Caven- 
     
     dish suspected of entertaining Tory principles 
     
     received a visit from this ** Gentleman of

     to denounce Liberale and Catholics —who, he 
     
     anid, would, when they came into power, es- 
     
     tablish an Inquisition, where, with the Rec-

     Protestacts generally, and the Orangemen 
     
     with Pope st their head in particular, would

     orator in the United States, General T. F. 
     
     Meagher, that the great bulk of the Irish in 
     
     that country are well entitled to fight for the

     horned cattle with impunity, as if sensible 
     
     of our Government discontinuing a reward 
     
     for his Majesty’s snout. They are seen in 
     
     twos and threes in every direction, ruining 
     
     the poor but industrious settler, who strives 
     
     hard to make an honest living in the wild

     must have been both considerable ia numbers 
     
     and composed of excellent fighting materials. 
     
     It is a matter for prfound congratulation 
     
     that rebel suspicions wero go skillfully eluded 
     
     that this important and hazardous movement 
     
     bas been accomplished without any loss 
     
     either of troops or property.

     PUBLIC SOLICITUDE. 
     
    

    
     The public solicitude will now take a new 
     
     direction. The rebels were already sensible 
     
     how vitally it concerned them to attack Pope 
     
     bsfore the new levies were brought into the 
     
     field. Their activity in reinforcing Jackson 
     
     will be redoubled when they learn that a dif- 
     
     fernee of two or three days may be the dif- 
     
     ference between fighting Pope alone or fight- 
     
     ing him strengthened by the command of Mc- 
     
     Clellan. Ifa battle can he avoided until the 
     
     army of the Potomac and the army of Virgi- 
     
     nia are brought together, the new campaign

     tants of the country. Attention to gravermat- 
     
    
   
   
    
     witt open under favorable auspices. We take 
     
     it for granted that Pope will not at present

     Gen. Pope has issued an order to the effect 
     
     that General Order No. 5, requiring troops 
     
     to be subsisted on the country, has been|

     A telegram to one of the Boston papers 
     
     says :— 
     
    

    
     Dr. Moore states that at the fair ground 
     
     of Lynchburg where 2500 prisonars were not 
     
     long since confined, five or six die every day 
     
     from sheer exhaustion, in consequence of 
     
     poor and insufficient food; but all they en- 
     
     dure was nothing compared with torments 
     
     which the Confederate leaders are inflicting 
     
     upon the officers of Gen. Pope, who have 
     
     fallen into their hands. 
     
    

    
     These poor fellows are confined in close and 
     
     dark rooms, like common felons ; they are 
     
     not allowed to buy anything to mitigate their 
     
     sufferings, even at the usual exorbitant 
     
     rates.—-They are allowed to have no meat and 
     
     nothing but an insufficient supply of bread— 
     
     sour at that—and water poisoned with the 
     
     filthy sewerage which flows into the James 
     
     river—water that a dog or @ hog would re- 
     
     fuse. 
     
    

    
     In addition to these horrors our brave men 
     
     are liable at any moment to be hung. 
     
    

    
     This is in retaliation for the infamous order 
     
     of Pope, which has provoked such indigna-

     ; 
     
    
   
   
    
     She | 27 miles of waggons, but a siagle one — which | trouble our heads about keeping off a foreign ene- 
     
    
   
   
    
     broke down on the way,and was thereby rendered | 
     
     useless—was left behind. Every straggler was| 
     
     picked up and breught along, and the whole was 
     
     a perfectly clean thing. 
     
    

    
     Gen. McClellan remained to the last, and aaw 
     
    
   
   
    
     the immense cavalcade moving down the Penin- 
     
     sula. The ponteoa bridge over the Chickaho- 
     
     miny was, in play parlance, a great success — a 
     
     fine piece of engineering. The entire army, with 
     
     its vast traiu of wagons and artillery, passed over 
     
     as on dry land. . 
     
    

    
     A few words in regard to that splendid bridge 
     
     are worth while. Built in the new pontoon sys-| 
     
     tem under the supervision of Capt. James C. Du-| 
     
     ane, U. 8. Engineers, it is 660 yards long, and re. | 
     
     — precisely 100 pontoous, 20 feet apart. 
     
    

    
     hirty miles of trains and 60,000 men passed over 
     
     it before it was taken up at 2 P. M. yesterday. 
     
     It answered its purpose completely, and elicited 
     
     the admiration of every engineer in the army. 
     
     But for it the crossing would necessarily have been 
     
     much further up, requiring a longer, and possibly 
     
     a harrassed march. 
     
    

    
     The march of the main column has been entirely 
     
     unmolested, not even a vidette having been seen 
     
     following warily after. There is indeed a report | 
     
     aie as Pleasanton was leaving Harrison's 
     
     Landing a rebel squad rode prematurely into the 
     
     deserted camps aad were hastily driven back, he 
     
     losing one man and the enemy several, but I have 
     
     reasons for discvedit'ng the story. 
     
    

    
     None of the trausports that came down the 
     
     James have left Hampton Roads, though the gale | 
     
     abated so materially during the night that it would | 
     
     have been practicable for most of them to have 
     
     gone out. Great discomfort prevails on the 
     
     crowded steamers at anchor. 
     
    

    
     Probably not less than 600 steamers, sailing 
     
     vessels and barges, now ride at anchor in the | 
     
     Roads, giving some idea of the vast eppointments | 
     
     of the army. At least one steamer and several 
     
     barges and schooners have sunk from cullision and | 
     
     other causes. Still the loss of property has been 
     
     much less than might have been expected.”

     Sr. Joun, Aug. 25, 1862. 
     
    

    
     General Pope has retired across the Rappahan- 
     
     nock River, thus making it his line of defence. 
     
    

    
     The enemy, in great force on the South bank, 
     
     had ineffectually attempted to cross the Rappa- 
     
     hannock, and thus turn the right flank of the Fe- 
     
     deral forees. There has been desultory fighting 
     
     for several days. 
     
    

    
     Gen. McClellan has arrived with a large 
     
     of bis army, and it is believed that he wi 
     
     mand both Pepe’s portion and his own. 
     
    

    
     General Johnson, with eight hundred Federal 
     
     troops, bad attacked seventeen hundred Guerillas 
     
     under Morgan, near Gallatin, Tennessee, suffering 
     
     defeat and the loss of three bundred of his men, 
     
     who were made prisoners by the Confederates. 
     
    

    
     The steamer “ Acacia” snagged below Mem- 
     
     phis on Thursday night, when seventy-five persons, 
     
     mostly Federal soldiers, were drowned.

     Sr. Joun, August 27, 1862. 
     
     Letters from Naasau, N. P., state that the 
     
     American Consul’s flag bas been repeatedly hauled 
     
     down, and trampled upon by Secession sympa- 
     
     thizers. 
     
     Two hundred Guerillas have been routed 
     
     Federals, near Danville, Keatuchy. " 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     iny—if England chooses to let a foreign enemy 
     
     attack the Colonies, as she intimates she will 
     
    
   
   
    
     is, that the soil of this Island, for the most part, 
     
     does not belong to those who have settled upon 
     
    
   
   
    
     the British Government to some adventurers and 
     
     | schemers, whose pretensions have always received 
     
     | eucouragement at the hands of that Government, 
     
     and who have kept the settlers in poverty aod 
     
    

    
     serfdom all their lives. If it is desirable that this 
     
    

    
     Island should be saved, if possible, from falling 
     
    

    
     into the hands of the Americans, in the event of a 
     
    

    
     war with them, it is clearly the duty of the Bri- 
     
    

    
     tish Government, or that of the proprietors, to 
     
    

    
     pay all the expense incurred ia defensive opera- 
     
     tions. Our tenantry would be arrant fools if they 
     
    

    
     lifted a hand or gave a shilling towards defending 
     
    

    
     the broad acres of the proprietors. If this poor 
     
    

    
     country should be discarded by Great Britaio— 
     
    

    
     if it should be left, when a great crisis comes, to 
     
    

    
     protect iteelf— and if, in its feebleness, it should 
     
    

    
     fall into the arms of a foreign Power—we are re- 
     
    

    
     ther inclined to think that our tenantry would be 
     
     better off than they are at present—we are quite 
     
     sure the landlord aystem would get a blow from 
     
     which it could never recover, for the blight of 
     
     Downing Street influence and proprietary intrigue 
     
     therein would never again cast their baleful sha- 
     
     dow over this land. 
     
    

    
     The indifference of our people to the subject of 
     
     military defences can be easily seen in the un- 
     
     popularity of the Volunteer movement. Nobody 
     
     ever thought much of that movement in this Is- 
     
     land, except a few military enthusiasts, who 
     
     wish to be uncommonly warlike while peace 
     
     nestles at their hearthstones — a few others, too, 
     
     who look forward to parade days only with a view 
     
     of gratifying the inordinate vanity by which they 
     
     are devoured, and displaying a uniform which they 
     
     would take very good care should never be soiled 
     
     in the shock of battle. The Drill Sergeants and 
     
     the Adjutant General constitute another very smsll 
     
     class who take a peculiar interest in the move- 
     
     ment; but beyond all to whom we have particularly 
     
     referred, nobody in this Island cares a straw about 
     
     it, and would not be sorry to see it smasbed UP 
     
     to-morrow, as we hope it will be, at all events be- 
     
     fore the elapse of many months. The reckless 
     
     waste of public and private money involved j2 
     
     the late Shooting Folly—a large sum taken out of 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     the public Treasury having been expended, a8 is 
     
     well known, ip the consumption of what are called 
     
     “ creature comforts’"-—and the demoralization that 
     
     exceeded any thing which was ever exhibited 02 
     
     the worst Race Ground—have acted like the fea 
     
     ther that broke the back of the camel, and hare 
     
     sent the Volunteer Movement sprawling in the 
     
     mire of public detestation.
