     now, however, threw out the hint, for the | disloyalt 
     
    
   
   
    
     guidance of his sdpporters, that the Resolu-, 
     
     ion was brought forward by the Government. | 
     
    
   
   
    
     lion. Mr. Waetan: The question before) 
     
     the Commitzee, considering the magnitude | 
     
     ef the interests involved in it, is certainly | 
     
     one of the most important that has ever been | 
     
     diseussed in tuis House. Notice doubtless 
     
     had been given that, ata certain time, it! 
     
     would be brought forward; but it had been| 
     
     put ofor postponed from time to time clearly | 
     
     tur no others purpose than to eaavle the Hon. | 
     
     the Leader of the Government to get all his/| 
     
     strength together, and finally to take an oj-| 
     
     porcupity fur its discussion when «ome of the) 
     
     oppositiun members were absent. I: is in| 
     
     devd a party question, a Government quee- 
     
     tion; and f say Her Majesty's Ministers) 
     
     here—I speak in all courtesy—should have} 
     
     assumed the whole responsibility attached to | 
     
     it. But this they have not done; fur the} 
     
     Resuiutiag by which the discussion of the | 
     
     question has been introduced, is were fanfa- 
     
     ronade: there is nothing in it of a really) 
     
     positive or tangible nature. With reference) 
     
     to the question really at issue, however, I) 
     
     take bigher ground than my own party. 1) 
     
     beliere that either a Federal Union or a Le- 
     
     gistative Union of these Provinces will be} 
     
     ia possible 40 long as we shall continue tied | 
     
     to the apran strings of our venerable Mother | 
     
     —Great Britain. The party in power may 
     
     be biaseed against a Union by the considera-! 
     
     tion that, should it take place, they would 
     
     no longer have such opportunities as fre.| 
     
     quently occur to them at present of render- | 
     
     ing little services to their brothers, their | 
     
     nephewe, their cousing, or other connexions ; | 
     
     and Irke considerations may also incline the | 
     
     «pposition to action adverse to the proposal | 
     
     tor ea Union. The time will come, however, | 
     
     wheo, as foreshadowed by the statesmen and | 
     
     polities! writers of Britain, the Culonies wil} 
     
     be cust off ; and when that time shall arrive, 
     
     they may, with far more propriety than at| 
     
     present, discuss the principle and details of | 
     
     « Union, either Federal or Legislative. The! 
     
     invasion of these Colonies —- of this Island 
     
     itself—by hordes of hostile marauders from 
     
     the States, as anticipated by the Hon. the 
     
     Leader of the Government, is nut, I think, 
     
     inkely to aceur; but should it take place, 
     
     tie people of Great Britain, not of this Is-) 
     
     land, would be responsible for it, and “rf 
     
     would not be under the necessity of sacrific-| 
     
     ing our blogd and our treasure in a vain en- 
     
     deavour to resiet aggression which we had no 
     
     part in provoking. Should we be thought 
     
     worth preservation a8 a dependency of Great 
     
     Hritaiu, our wgie would be her army and 
     
     wavy—she surely would not be so basely un-| 
     
     grateful as tu throw us off in so fearful an | 
     
     emergency. The opinion, however, that it! 
     
     would be advantageous to dissuly« the connec- | 
     
     tion which binds the Colonies to the Mother | 
     
     country is gaiaing ground in Britain, and if, 
     
     it should assume a practical shape, we would | 
     
     be as well off in our separate condition as we 
     
     wuuld be ae a member of the Vonfederacy | 
     
     with the neighbouring Provinces. ‘The Co-|

     overthrow and annihilation may be brought 
     
    
   
   
    
     provided 
     
     that in our annexation, we are to have fully 
     
     conceded to ue all the rights, privileges, and 
     
     d independent people. 
     
    
   
   
    
     y—~l must confess that 1 much fear 
     
     that that full measure of freedom and inde- 
     
     pendence, to which I consider the people of 
     
     these provinces to be fairly and juetlyentitled, 
     
     will never be attained by them, without @ se- 
     
     peration from Great Britain. Therefore, 
     
     without subjecting myself to the charge of 
     
     disloyalty — for most gladly would I per- 
     
     petuate, were itin my power to do 80, our 
     
     connection with the brighteet crown that 
     
     ever graced the brow of monarch, were said 
     
     connection rendered justly compatible with 
     
     our full enjoyment of self-government and re- 
     
     presentative institutions—I repat that, while 
     
     the right of irresponsible interference in our 
     
     affairs is continued, annexation to any foreign 
     
     power would be preferadle to the insulting 
     
     mockery by which the people of this Island 
     
     —slayes to Sir Samuel Cunard and others of 
     
     the proprietors—are told that they have the 
     
     right of self-government. If the truth of 
     
     my assertion is disputed, 1 ask any hon. 
     
     member if he will tell the country that our 
     
     legislation is operative to settle the Land 
     
     Question, without the consent of the gentie- 
     
     wan I have named: I would not oppose the 
     
     Delegation, if the Resolution fur ite ap- 
     
     pointment were coupled with a plain and 
     
     direct expression of opinion either for or 
     
     against the Union; but | cannot disabuse my 
     
     mind of the idea that the Government mean 
     
    
   
   
    
     |merely to amuse the pecple, by arousing 
     
    
   
   
    
     them to speculate upon the question, and, at 
     
     the same time to afford some ot their friends a 
     
    
   
   
    
     loywent at the public expease, as they did 
     
     fast summer. Aa to the exemption of the 
     
     Island from the Railway debts of the Sister 
     
     Colonies, in common fairness it should be 
     
     borne in mind that the Island derives great 
     
     benefit from their Railways, and it is not 
     
     unreasonable that an honest acknowledg- 
     
     ment of the fact shuuld be made. 
     
    

    
     The question was then put on Mr. Howlan’s 
     
     amendinent, which was lost, and the original re- 
     
     solution earried. When the House resumed, and 
     
     the Speaker put the question on the maia resulu-

     and the House divided as follows:

     The New York Times war correspondent 
     
     writes :—** My report of the disaster which 
     
     befel a portiun of the Second Corps, on the 
     
     22nd, uppears to have been rather modest. 
     
     nstead of simply meeting with a severe re- 
     
     verse on that unfortunate day, one entire 
     
     brigade, General Pierce's, and part of ano- 
     
     ther, were ‘‘ gobbled”’ outright. It appears 
     
     that some men had gone to the front of these 
     
     troops who were throwing "P temporary 
     
     breastworks, and built a fire. This ranning 
     
     through the parched shrubbery and under- 
     
     growth evon spread through the entire plot 
     
     of timber, causing a dense smoke. The ene-

     The Richmond Whig of June 15th saye: 
     
     Lt will now be Grant's effurt to precipitate s

     which be may fancy of as much importance 
     
     to Richmond as Grand Gulf was to Vicksburg.

     for two months before Vicksburg. Bebind 
     
     there is no incompetent leader, with an army 
     
     disgusted und disheartened at his imbecility. 
     
     The first engineer of the age, and @ field 
     
     captain equal to any in the world, are there, 
     
     his troops have unbounded confidence in him; 
     
     he has proved them and they him on many 
     
     fields ; he awakens enthusiasm as pone other 
     
     can awaken it; and when Grant comes in 
     
     contact with him, he will find another mas- 
     
     ter, nay, two masters—for the day which 
     
     sees the bulk of Grant's army on the south 
     
     side will find the two best heads, and the two 
     
     bravest, and purest and most magnanimous 
     
     hearts on this continent opposed to him, and 
     
     that will be a field day indeed. 
     
    

    
     Grant's soldiers complain that they have 
     
     been forced into slaughter-pens. Do they 
     
     wish a fair, open fight, with the odds two to 
     
     one iv their favor? Let them pitch their 
     
     picks and spades into James river, and draw 
     
     out their line of battle on the south side. 
     
     They shall have an entertainment which will 
     
     satisfy the survivors for the remainder of 
     
     their patural lives. Our words for it, their 
     
     appetite for war will cease from that time. 
     
    

    
     But they have enough of battle’s diet al- 
     
     ready. Lieut. Russel assures us that they 
     
     are tired of butting their heads against for- 
     
     tifications, and will gladly hail the day when 
     
     they can sit down and dig, while the batter- 
     
     ies do their fighting. If they prefer that 
     
     game, let them try it, The struggle will last 
     
     a little longer, but the end will be the same. 
     
     In time and blood we sball make them pay 
     
     roundly for every inch they gain, and if, 
     
     eventually, they get possession of the Cock- 
     
     ade City (quite an improbable event,) they. 
     
     will have buried befure its walis twice as 
     
     many men as Grant had in the beginning of 
     
     the campaign, and four times as many as the 
     
     Yankees can affurd te lose. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The New York World says that the Confede- 
     
     rates have recently completed a most formidable 
     
     iron-clad vessel, at Columbus, Georgia, which 
     
     they design to bring out of the Apulachicola river 
     
     and employ in an attack upon Farragut’s fleet 
     
     now off Mobile. Her paime is the * Murcegee.” 
     
     She is a light draft beat, notwithstanding the 
     
     immense weight of her armor, which is composed 
     
     of two layers of iron bars, each two inches thick 
     
     and four inches wide, making an armour four 
     
     inches thick. Like the Merrimac, that portion 
     
     of her above the water is angular in shape, the 
     
     Confederates baving never deviated from the rule 
     
     adopted at the beginning of the war in regard to 
     
     the construction of the exposed portions of their 
     
     offensive vessels. Her dimensions are :—56 feet 
     
     beam, 42 feet floor, flat bottom. She has a 
     
     centre-wheel of a diameter of 24 feet. She is 
     
     furnished with five or six high-pressure river 
     
     boats as tenders. These last are fortified with 
     
     cotton bales. 
     
    

    
     A TerrirLte DeatTa aT THE FaLis. — On 
     
     Monday a young stranger at the Falls of Niagara 
     
     came to his death by being swept into the torrent 
     
     while visiting the Cave of the Winds. It semes 
     
     be insisted, in spite of the warnings «f his guide, 
     
     upon stepping on a certain rock aside from the 
     
     usual slippery path trodden by visitors. An in- 
     
     stant after making the rash venture he slipped 
     
     and went down. The guide returned and told 
     
     the aud story. We could not learn that the youth 
     
     (he was about sixteen years of age) bad any ac- 
     
     quaintances with bin, and so far ax we know, no

     Tor Late Ssockixe Raitway Accipeyt.— 
     
     The Canadian papers gontain full particulars 
     
     of this fearful catastrophe and its attendant 
     
     horrors, as related by those who visited the 
     
     svene of the calamity. ” 
     
    

    
     The victims, the number of whom has not 
     
     yet been ascertained, are chiefly German 
     
     emigrants who arrived by the Necker from 
     
     Hamburg About eighty of the pussengere, 
     
     tor want of means, were unable to proceed 
     
     with the rest, and remained behind at Point 
     
     Levi, awaiting the action of the German 
     
     Emigrant Agent to forward them to their 
     
     destination. For the transport of those who 
     
     went on, frieght and eattle cars had been 
     
     fitted up with temporary seats—an arrange- 
     
     ment which increased the luss of life when 
     
     the disaster happened, as the shock dis- 
     
     placed the seats, and the occupants were 
     
     hurled violently upon each other, without 
     
     anything to hold on by. This bas been de- 
     
     clared by some of the survivors. It was a | 
     
     night train, and the weather was fine, with | 
     
     bright moonlight. At 1.15 a.am. the train | 
     
     arrived at St. Llilaire, a station about a mile | 
     
     from the bridge, the draw uf which was open 
     
     to allow the passage of a teg boat with five | 
     
     barges. The red danger light was up, and | 
     
     might have been seen 1620 feet, and in addi- | 
     
     tion the bridge-master, on hearing the | 
     
     whistle, ran on the track and waved another | 
     
     light; but the engine rushed onward with 
     
     the speed of a whirlwind, and plunged down 
     
     the draw, forty feet, on to the deck of the 
     
     third barge, which was passing t):rough, and 
     
     thence bounded into the river, carrying the 
     
     train down the abyss, and filling the chasm 
     
     with death and destruction, mangled bodies 
     
     and fragments of the cars. 
     
    

    
     On removing the debris, the horrors which 
     
     met the eye are almost too terrible for de- 
     
     tail. ‘The full-grown man, the blooming 
     
     maiden and the little child lay in one bloody 
     
     heap, so bruised and mutilated as almost to 
     
     be unrecognisable, victims to the gross neg- 
     
     lect or incapacity of the driver, Burney, who 
     
     is now under arrest, 
     
    

    
     Prompt means were taken, as soon as the 
     
     accident was known, for the relief of those 
     
     of the sufferers whose case admitted aid, and 
     
     the dead were removed to an adjacent shed 
     
     to await a burial. The conductor, Finn, 
     
     and a brakegman, Flinn, lost their lives ; 
     
     and Burney, on being brought before the 
     
     Coroner, solemnly declared that he reversed 
     
     the engine as soon as he saw the warning 
     
     light, but could not stop the train. He was 
     
     ignorant of the down grade to the bridge, be- 
     
     ing a stranger on that section as an engineer, 
     
     and went over with his engine to the bottom 
     
     of the river. Further developements may 
     
     palliate this man’s conduct, but we fear he 
     
     has much to answer for. 
     
    

    
     We understand compensation to the suryvi- 
     
     vors hae been liberally given by the Grand 
     
     Trunk officials, and they have been forward- 
     
     ed to their destination tree of expense, with 
     
     abundant food for the journey. ‘his is very 
     
     god; but no money can atone for the be- 
     
     reavement occasioned to many of those poor 
     
     strangers. Time alone can cicatrize the 
     
     deadly wounds which this sad calamity has 
     
     made. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Several weeks ago sixty-five citizens of Illinois 
     
     who nad beer arrested on some pretext truinped 
     
     up by their political opponents, were release 
     
     by the failure of the Grand Jury to find in- 
     
     dictments againat them ; but they were immediate- 
     
     ly re-arrested by an order from Secretary Stanton, 
     
     who put them into Fort Delaware. The Boston 
     
     Courter says :— 
     
    

    
     ‘The military prisons of the country are full of 
     
     these victims of a tyrannous usurpation. One, 
     
     two, or three at a tims, men charged with no 
     
     crime, are thus taken by night from their beds, or 
     
     seized in public conveyauces and abducted by the 
     
     emissaries of the Government. Their friends do 
     
     not hear of thew, sometimes, for months. Their 
     
     neighbors, if told anything, are informed that they 
     
     are suspected of sowe offence against Lhe Govern- 
     
     ment. Time rolls on; the excitement of the 
     
     times causes the event to be speedily obscured, 
     
     and the victim of executive despotisin languishes, 
     
     wearing vut the weary montbe of imprisonment, 
     
     forgotten, perhapa, like the old prisoners in the 
     
     bastile, even by the power which ordered his 
     
     arrest.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     A feeling against England, en the part of tbe 
     
     Germans, is showing itself in various forms. One 
     
     of these is the recent action of several authorities 
     
     in matters of commerce and industry, renouncing 
     
     the use of English coal, and using that whieh 
     
     comes from the pits of Westphalia.

     The people of the North are greatly frightened 
     
     by the Maryland invasion, and are making des- 
     
     perate sppeale to the people tuarm. On Sunday 
     
     the recruiting offices were open, and the clergy- 
     
     men preached war sermons, at the cloae of which 
     
     aunouneement was made that Lieut. Sv and So 
     
     was on hand to receive recruits, but, as a general 
     
     rule, only a feeble response was wade.

     shipping the rising sun,” We have not the least 
     
     doubt that those who sang loudest of “ hanging 
     
     Jeff Davies on a sour apple tree,” when Confede- 
     
     rate prospects were gloomy, will be among the 
     
     first to fawn and cringe before the honored

     persons need not set their calculations tuo high.

     St. DuNSTAN'’s COLLEGE EXAMINATION.— 
     
     The Examination at St. Dunstan's College, on 
     
     Wednesday jast, was, 9a usual, highly interesting 
     
     and successful, aa regards the efficiency of the 
     
     young gentlemen taught at that Institution. It 
     
     commenced about half-past ten o'clock and con- 
     
     tinued until nearly four. It was graced by the 
     
     presence of his Lordship the Bisboy of Charlotte- 
     
     town, by nearly all the Catholic Clergy of the 
     
     Diocese; the audience including, besides the 
     
     parents of the students, and old friends of the 
     
     Institutions, ladies and gentlemen of various de- 
     
     nowinations from Charlottetown and distant 
     
     parts of the Island. Amongst the numerous 
     
     classes examined were, Greek, Latin and French, 
     
     Geometry, Natural Philosophy and History, in 
     
     all of which the answers to the questions of 
     
     the examinators were readily aud correctly 
     
     given. _The College Band, at iutervals, 
     
     played several fine pieces of music; and o 
     
     dramatic performance ‘vas also given, which, 
     
     though long, was very :nteresting, aud served 
     
     to relieve the more serious part of the ex- 
     
     amination. The Right Rev. Dr. McIntyre dis- 
     
     tributed the prizes, which were quite numerous, 
     
     and addressed the students afterwards, congratu- 
     
     lating them on their successful examination. 
     
     Hon. Mr. Whelan also delivered a brief address 
     
     in commendation of the prosperous condition of 
     
     Uffinstitution. The national anthem having been 
     
     sung by all the students to the accompanimeat of 
     
     the Piano Forte, the audience separated.

     EXAMINATION OF THE COXVENT SEMINARY. 
     
     —The annual examination of the Convent Semi- 
     
     nary, under the direction of the Sisters of the 
     
     Congregation de Notre Dame, took place at St. 
     
     Andrew's Hall on Thursday last. We were, un- 
     
     furtunately, unable to attead, but we understand 
     
     it was quite a brilliant display of talent and 
     
     scholarship ou the part of the young ladies who 
     
     underwent ¢xamination. The well known abil- 
     
     ity and experience as Teachers of Youth, which 
     
     the excellent Ladies of the Couvent evinced in 
     
     this coimmunity at several former examinations, 
     
     were no less conspicuous, we are informed, on 
     
     the late occasion, and afforded most conclusive 
     
     proof of the very great importance of the institu- 
     
     tion so happily entrusted to their direction. The 
     
     Hon. Charles Watters, Solicitor General of New 
     
     Brunswick, was amongst the visitors, and ad- 
     
     dressed the large assemblage, at the close of the 
     
     examination, in praise of the evident high char- 
     
     acter of the institution, and on the extensive ac- 
     
     quirements and ability displayed by the young 
     
     ladies in the course of their examination. He 
     
     congratulated the Right Rev. Dr. Melutyre— 
     
     who, it is unnecessary to add, was present with 
     
     his Clergy — on having such an admirable estab- 
     
     lishment in his diocese, to which parents in his 
     
     own Province were glad to be able to send their 
     
     children for such an education as they could not 
     
     ubtain at home.

     Wales College on Friday last, which, we regret, 
     
     we were prevented by other engagements from 
     
     attending, was, we understand, highly creditable 
     
     to the Professors and to the Students. The Ex- 
     
     ainination was thorough aud searching, and the 
     
     proficiency displayed affords most satisfactory 
     
     signs of improvement in the Institution. We are 
     
     glad of this: the College absorbs a large amount 
     
     of public money, and itis time it should be making 
     
     asuitable retura for it. His Excellency the Lieut. 
     
     Governor was present, and made, we are informed, 
     
     a very excellent address at the close of the Ex-

     THe Concert 47T Sv. Anprew's HA .t. 
     
     Pownal Street, on Wednesday evening, ander 
     
     the direction of the Ladies of the Convent, was 
     
     the most brilliant musical performance we have 
     
     ever listened to in Charlottetown. The young 
     
     girls of the Convent, who were the performers, 
     
     were thoroughly couversant with their several 
     
     parts, and elicited, by their sweet rendition of the 
     
     music, most enthusiastic bursts of applause. The 
     
     Hall was crowded almost to sutfocation — even 
     
     the porch and doorways being jammed by an 
     
     wager throng. The receipts aimounted to a con- 
     
     siderable eum, and will go far towards completing 
     
     the decorations of the beautiful Hall in which the 
     
     Concert was held.

     THe WESLEYAN Bazaar, on Wednesday and 
     
     Thursday last, waa the most successful affair ot 
     
     the kivd ever held in Charlottetown. The receipts 
     
     amounted to nearly £1000. There were many 
     
     interesting features connected with it, especially 
     
     as regards the rare and valuable collection of 
     
     curiosities in the Museum attached to the Bazaar, 
     
     and improvised for the occasion, which we should 
     
     like to notice in detail, but our space will not 
     
     permit us doing so at present. On the whole, it 
     
     was eminenfly creditable to the zeal of the Wes- 
     
     leyan Society, and especially to the fair ladies 
     
     who ministered at the several tables, whose exer- 
     
     tions were indefatigable, and whose exquisite 
     
     taste and skill were munifested in a thousand 
     
     forme in the elegant articles which were spread 
     
     sv profusely before them.

     TEMPERANCE MEETING.—A crowded Meeting 
     
     was held at the St. Andrew's Hail, last evening, 
     
     by request of his Lordship the Bishop of Charlott.- 
     
     town, to organize a Temperance Society in con 
     
     nection with the Catholic community, to effect 
     
     especially the prompt suppression of the sale of 
     
     spirituous liquors on Sunday, and to abolish, as 
     
     tar as praeticable, the traffic generally. The ne- 
     
     cesssry preliminary arrangements were made 
     
     with the view of carrying out these objects,

     Tue following paragraph appeared in a late 
     
    
   
   
    
     No. of the Protestant :— 
     
    

    
     * We have beea informed by Hon. T. H. Havi- 
     
     land, agent for Messrs. Moatgomery, Proprietors 
     
     who will be bound by the Land Bill of last session 
     
     should it become law, that be received intelligence 
     
     by the last English Mail, that ia all probability 
     
     the said Bill will receive Her Majesty's approval. 
     
     Some of the Secretariea, we understand, ia the 
     
     Colonia) Office, bave expressed themselves to this 
     
     effect. As we expected, the Tenant Leaguers 
     
     will be too late with their petiiou. Very tew, 
     
     we imagine, who are largely in arrears of rent, 
     
     will regret though the petition should never lease 
     
     our shores.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     There is no doubt that the Bill referred to, if 
     
     it haa not been already sanctioned, will be passed. 
     
     It was framed to meet the viewa uf the Preprie- 
     
     tora, and almost in accordance with a draft of 
     
     their own. As tu its being of any use in enabling 
     
     tenants to become freeboldera, the thing ia too 
     
     preposterous for the least consideration ; and we 
     
     have no faith that it will be of much service in 
     
     extinguishiag old arrears of rent. With respect 
     
     to the Petition from the Tenant Union against 
     
     the 15 years’ Purchase Bill, we fear that its pro- 
     
     moters have not used sufficient diligence, or com- 
     
     manded sufficient influeuce to have it very generally 
     
     signed. We have not beard much about it lately, 
     
     but we think it ought to have been forwarded to 
     
     England long ago, eveu if it did not effect the 
     
     object contemplated by it.

     SUDDEN DEATH OF PATRICK STEPHENS, ESQ 
     
    
   
   
    
     IT is our very painful duty to announce the 
     
     awfully sudden death of PaTRICK STEPHENS, 
     
     Esqr., of Orwell, Merchant, which oecurred on 
     
     Friday morning last. Mr. Stephens bad gone 
     
     down to the Steamer * Princess uf Wales,” about 
     
     8 o'clock, to bid farewell to some friends who 
     
     were going away, and juat as he had got on the 
     
     wharf, he fell down, and almost instantly ex- 
     
     pired. Dr. Gauvreau was on the spot, and im- 
     
     mediately used every effort to restore animation, 
     
     but unbappily the hand of death was too rapid 
     
     and too effectual iu its stroke. Disease of the 
     
     heart is said to have been the cause of death. 
     
     Mr. Stephens had been for many years most 
     
     actively and extensively engaged in business— 
     
     was full of energy and enterprise, and gave 
     
     powerlul aid always towards every useful work 
     
     that was in progress—especially those connected 
     
     with the interests of the Catholic religion, with 
     
     Education and Temperance. He reared a very 
     
     amiable family, and two of his daughters had just 
     
     passed a brilliant examination at the Convent, 
     
     and one of his sons at the College, which he 
     
     had witnessed with all the pride ef a parent. 
     
     Lis loss will be very severely felt, not only in the 
     
     place where his business operations were conduct- 
     
     ed, and in which he expended a very large 
     
     amount of money annually in exchange for labour 
     
     and for the products of the soil, but it will be felt 
     
     wherever untiring energy and perseverance were 
     
     required for the performance of good works. 
     
     Mr. Stephens was apparently little beyond the 
     
     prime of life—be seemed to be always in good 
     
     health, overflowed with vivacity, and might rea- 
     
     sonably hope to live many more years the same 
     
     useful and active life he had hitherto pursued. 
     
     We sincerely sympathise with the bereaved fami- 
     
     ly on this most calamitous event, whieh has thus 
     
     suddenly deprived them of an affeetionate hus- 
     
     band and parent, taking, at the same time, from 
     
     society one of its most useful members. |

     NEWS BY SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIL. 
     
     CONFEDERATE INVASION OF MARYLAND. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Coufederate invasion has proved vastly 
     
     more formidable than the Federals would at first 
     
     allow themselves to believe. The Boston Post 
     
     reviews recent events, and bitterly censures the 
     
     deliberate coacec'ion and circulation of false 
     
     news in which the Government and their friends 
     
     so much delight :— 
     
    
   
   
    
     “The accounts of the invasion of Maryland by 
     
     the rebels are conflicting in the extreme. It is 
     
     averred on the one hand that they do not number 
     
     tive thousand, while on the other hand they are 
     
     rated at thirty thousand. Whatever theirnambers, 
     
     they occupy Frederick. 
     
    

    
     “We bave given, accurately, the facts relative ; 
     
     to the repulse of Hunter trom Lynchburg, and bis 
     
     retreat down to Charlestown. His combined force 
     
     is set down ut thirty thousand. It is said that it is 
     
     doing vivlence to truth to term his operations a 
     
     deteat! The Cincinnati Gazette is not classed as a 
     
     “ copperhead”’ journal; and this has supplied a 
     
     cirewustantial relation, columns long, of Hunter's 
     
     doings frow the time he marched out of Staunton, 
     
     June 11, to hie arrival at Gauley, June 28; and 
     
     this letter stated that the rebel veterans he bad to 
     
     weet and by whom he was repulsed, were Ewell's 
     
     coluun. We see it stated that it is this corps that 
     
     is now in Maryland. Hence, when Hanter went 
     
     off to Charlestown, where he was on the first of 
     
     July, Ewell moved on Maryland, where on the 
     
     same day, his advance appeared! Why, in the 
     
     name of common seuse, did Hunter leave the She- 
     
     nandoah pathway open? 
     
    

    
     After the rebels had been in Maryland a week 
     
     they bad not been interfered with, and on Friday, 
     
     the 8th, the Phil. American Gazette suys: ‘We 
     
     are sure that the intelligence from the borders 
     
     which we publish this morning will at once attract 
     
     the attention of everybody. The rebel horde 
     
     which crossed the Potomac has not only been left 
     
     unmolested to pursue its course of plunder, but 
     
     seems t» be in uo fear of being interfered with. 
     
     After having robbed Hagerstown, it has marched 
     
     eastward to Frederick.’ ‘The rebel force is said to 
     
     be Ewell’s and Lougstreet's. Sigel is completely 
     
     surrounded on the Heights at Harper's Ferry ; 
     
     Hunter, it is coutideutly alleged, is coming. Gen. 
     
     Couch is at Harrisburg organizing the militia. At 
     
     the time of writing this, our forces bad retired 
     
     from Frederick to the Monoeacy. 
     
    

    
     ** It seems to be generally conceded that Lee has 
     
     detached a strong force, it is said, forsupplies. No 
     
     movement yet is announced by Gen. Grant; bat 
     
     this officer is upt to move with celerity and to some 
     
     parpose. Let it be hoped that Lee will suffer se- 
     
     verely for bis temerity iu dividing his forces 
     
     There would seem to be a chance opened to deal a 
     
     bold etroke. 
     
    

    
     ‘The momentuous intelligence we print to-day— 
     
     received since the above was written — is the tre- 
     
     meudons sequel to the lying reporte—the disgrace- 
     
     ful suppression of news—the doubts and fears—of 
     
     the lust week ; when the true men who sounded 
     
     the alarm were sneered at us though they were a 
     
     parcel of traitors. How much more of tis base 
     
     business the country has got to endure, time only 
     
     ean tell. At preseut the country isin danger. We 
     
     need not dwell on the terrible six hours’ battle of 
     
     Satarday, when our troops were overpowered by 
     
     Breckenridge and his coluans. They are veterans 
     
     | and will tight hard. Their success creates a demand 
     
     | for greater evergy than ever in all who would 
     
    

    
     worthily serve the country, to beat buck the

     of the capture of trains about 2 miles frovs Gun- 
     
     powder bridge. 
     
    

    
     Pistol shots were heard, and the train stopped, 
     
     when the rebels entered the cars, pistols in hand, 
     
    

    
     jand asked “ Are there any ladiea here?” Being 
     
     | answered in the affirmative, they told them to sit
