To Wallenstein all this presented a new world. He bad jearnt bie military duties from the officers cf th» line, and taught them, i: turn, to his corps of students.

General Con'i caused several lines of intrenchment to be formed i» succession be- hind each other. He ordered arms to be manufactured, acd the bolls to be melted into cannon shot; whilst Marshal Colleredo directed ali the soldiers that could be spared, including the corps of students, to piss over to the New Town. Thus Wallenctain perform, and began to lorg for a share in the more active scene going on upon tho opposite side, where encounters daily ocs curred, and whera the gallant inhabitinis of Prague not only successfully repelled every attack of the enemy upon their gates, | but even attempted several sallies, to drive | the Swedes from their advantageous position | on the Ziskaberg.

To rae Eprror or tHe Examiner. Sir,—When an advocate of reform, either Church or State, aspires to direct public opinion in his capacity as a public journalist, and knowing that his utterances will be severely criticized by an enlightened community, it is to be expected he would refrain from making statements which, in a zhort time afterwards, might compromise | his veracity as a truthful and witty expons | ent of his party’s views. It is worthy of note to have recourse to some of the allega tions that were resorted to by the editor of the Herald, when the principles of the rail way bill were being carried out, to prove that his former conclusions those he miserable party of whom he was the mouthpiece At and of were erroneous that ime no species of slander was omitted, and | 10 assertions, however absurd and riticus } lous, but were breathed forth most furious~ \dvocates of that measure. The leading men who composed the Government were | denounced with the most unremitting fury, ' end designated by the above source as ewindlers, plunderers, robbers, &c. By this means the public excitement became intense and the Govern- iment was not only to have been driven ig- nominiously from power, but also compell-. |ed to refund thousands of pounds which | they had wrongfully expended or sppropri- | ated totheir own use. The New York ens gineers were brought here, at an expense to the Colony of over $7,000, to inspect the | work of Mr. Boyd and consign the Pope | Government to infamy, when the crooks of the railroad, spruce sleepers and wire fence would have been examined. But behold ithe result. The verdict of the engineers | was a complete endorsement of the views entertained by Vir. Pope's party in cons nection with the details of the railroad. A | faw weeks previous to the inauguration of | the Laird and Haythorne Government, the Herald and Patriot newspapers were poetic, and even romantic, in their denunciations against the public transgressors of the day. About the end of February, 1872, ald asserted, in its usual insolent style, that Mr. Pope's Government was about to be irresistable, consigned toa Limbo which would never | | know a resurrection; and the Patrio! an- | nounced its intention to stop the railroad entirely. It needless to say that the course of events, in a short time afterward, gave the lie to proved what a very bad prophet was the seer of the Herald, hollow and worthless were the promises of the / atrio/. Hence, in due time, it became evident that those parties would gladly have eaten their words, when it turned out that the resist- ance to the railroad measure had been principally occasioned by ignorance of its nature and misrepresentation of its effects. In proportion, a8 it was more deliberately and fully investigated, the opposition to it is their expressions ; and how became less general and the clamor less | violent ; in consequence of which a reaction | hag taken place in the minds of the people, | who have okserved with regret that the | Herald, as under the control of a despicable time server and hungry adventurer, but | contributed to divide the people — particu j larty the Catholios—-for the purpose of | gaining place and position for worthless | characters. But, happi'y, in this section of the country, and over the Island generally, | it appears, its influence for good or evil has | ceased, and its subscribers are gradually | | diminishing in numbers; but in several | eases, after the paper has been returned, after all arrears being paid in full, the ed- | itor persists in sending it, to the great ans | novance of parties who allege that its ar. | ticles are a disgrace and a laughingstock in the community. In fact, people are get- | ting quite sick and tired of the malicious trash with which its readers haye been, for blackguardism and comments on the char- acter of men who have been born or bred up in the country, and who have built up | the wealth and fortune thereef Hence, to forget a false, deceitfu! girl.’ | | honor, or respectability, would think of them was at the door; but Bertram, as if ‘I am quite satisfied for the present,’ re- | | being identified with a party who would ex- something else had suddenly occurred to him, ca'led out,— * Stop, friend! plied Leepold, laughiog; ‘and, no doubt, If she hears that [ am a | hear our conversation. a steward’s daughter |’ Albert smiled, or affected to smile ; and both gent'emen, taking up their hats, eallied forth to pay a visit to FieldsMarshal Colle edo.

While not satisfied with attecking Mr. Austin | Macdonald in its editorial columns from | week to week, it clutches at every foul communication which any scandal-monger may scribble out, and publishes it, if | thought to be at all damaging to that gen, tleman's character.

One word more with saintly ‘ Bob, and [ am done for the present. Among his other charges ‘ Bob’ broadly asserts, that, a forged letter purporting to be from a clergyman, had been used by some of Mr. McDonald's friends, to deceive, intimidate and cajole the electors. Nothing could exhibit blacker malice than this gratuitous fabrication. I dare ‘Bob’ to give the name of any clergyman, or of any other man, whose forged letter had been used in any canvass by any of Mr. Austin McDonald's friends, I therefore hurl back the foul falsehood into ‘Bob's’ teeth. There is not a Roman Catholic clergymen in this Island who would aliow any letter of his to be so prostituted without bringing the culprit under the censure of the church, and awarding him condign punishment. I trust both the clergy and laity, will take note of this unfounded slander of « Bob's,’ and deal with him accordingly.
