DINNEFORD'S PURE FLUID MAGNESIA
has been, during thirty years, emphatically sanctioned
by the Medical Profession, and univers ttly accepted by the
Public, as the II( st Remedy for Acidity of the Stomach,
Heartburn. Headache, Gout, and Indigestion, and as a Mild
Aperient for delicate constitutions, more esp, cially for Ladies
and Children. Combined with the Accidulated Lemon Syrup
it forms an agreeable Effervescing Draught, in which its
Aperient qualities are much increased. During Hot Seasons,
and, above all, in Hot Climates, the regular use of this sim-
ple and e egazst remedy has been found highly beneficial.
Manufactured (with the utmost attention to strength and
punt), by DINNEFORD and CO., 172, New Bond-street,

the Empire.

a very different version of the whole affair. In the
meantime it is significant that although the battle
was fought on the 19th, nothing further had been
beard from Sheridan on the evening of the 22d, and
that the d,,:y after the report of this great victory
reached Washington gold went up 2 per cent.

war as at the best an unhappy necessity, but who
loved it for its own sake, and considered it a glori-
ous opportunity for unlimited indulgence in the
most brutal passions. It was the Nortb, through
its press, its politicians, and worse than all through
its pulpit, that first broached the idea of extermi-
nating the whole of the white male population of
the South, in preference to the acknowledgment of
their right of self government. The coolness with
which this idea is advocated is enough to make the
blood of the unimpassioned bystander curdle with
horror. A quiet thoughtful man, filling an official
position in connexion with the library of a Legisla-
tive Assembly in a Northern State, a person of
culture and refinement, who has made himself a
name in American literature, undertook some days
ago to prove to me that the Southern people were
wicked rebels against the best Government in the
world, and that if they did not immediately lay
down their arms there was nothing left for the
Federal authority but to exterminate them. On
his being asked what he meant by extermination,
he replied that he would not leave a &ogle male
inhabitant alive in the whole South except the
negroes, and that from the new born boy to the
old man of three score and ten he would put them
all to the sword. " And what then ? "
" Colonise the country with Northern people," he
replied, " and develope its resources to such an
extent that it shall become the garden and the
Paradise of the world." " And what would you do
with the negroes ?" "We shall prepare them for
ultimate freedom by establishing a system of serf•
age, to be followed by a period of apprenticeship."
" And you would deliberately slaughter the whole
white male population to attain a result which, had
not the Northern people interfered with the eves-
tion of slavery, the South would in all probability
have accomplished ex proprio motu." " I would,"
he replied, " we have got to do this thing, and by
God we'll do it."
Another educated man, educated as Americans
are up to the age of 14, and then thrust into the
business of life in a counting4house, a store, or a
workshop, expressed in still more forcible terms his
approval of the policy of exterminating the Southern
people. On being asked whether the public opinion
of the world would permit the perpetration of such
a stupendous atrocity as the slaughter of a whole

people, he replied with the greatest unconcern,
" Why not? Did not the British Government au.
thorise the Massacre of Glencoe P" " But that,"
said I, " was a small matter, even if the Govern-
ment of King William were guilty of it." "Great
or small, it was all the same in principle. Besides,
there is the more recent case in India, when the

British Government blew a whole nation of Sepoys
to pieces from their guns." "Do you know what a

Sepoy means ?" I inquired. " Yes, a native of India,
which the British Government holds by military
force against the will of the people. And by the
same kind of force we hold the South, if need be.
They must give up the struggle, or be driven out,
or killed out, till not a --- be left, from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande." There is no
necessity to fill up the hiatus. Any one at
all connected with the habitual profanity of
the American multitude can supply it without
difficulty. Were persons such as those alone in the
expression of such sentiments their words might
pass for nothing better or worse than the frenzy of
lunatics; bar, unhappily, the same sentiments are
entertained by thousands of bloodthristy doetri
naires, who have convinced themselves that the re-
storation of the Union will make the Americans
masters of the world—and that Union, in this sense,
is worth more than the liberty of the white race, or
than the lives of any number of millions, who may
eepese it by force of fame. Unconditional submis-
sion or extermination—these are the tole alterna-
rives which they hold out to the South. The New
Englanders, or the Yankees, properly so called, ere
the persons who most commonly give utterance to
these extreme opinions. They do not lose temper
in expressing them, but are as cool and quiet in
tone end manner as if they were dicussing the
most ordinary business of life. They snivel and
drawl in preaching extermination just as much as
they would snivel and drawl if they were selling
dry goods behind a counter, or interchanging a
casual remark with an acquaintance about the
weather or the crops. They leave, however, upon
the mind of the listener the impression that they
are thoroughly in earnest, and that when they
threaten murder and extermination they mean what
they say, and would be as ruthless in act as they
are reckless in assertion.
The ultra war party—composed of Abolitionists
and exterminators—such as these are particularly
violent over the news of an irruption of a gang of
marauders from Canada into the State of Vermont.
They insist that the 25 or 20 men who plundered
the bank and murdered some of the citizens of St.
Alban's were Confederate raiders, though there
is not a particle of proof to show that they were
anything but thieves and assassins who took ad-
vantage of the civil war to do a stroke of pro •
fessional business on a larger scale than usual. For
all that anybody yet knows they may be rowdies
from New York or New England, who fled to Canada
to avoid the conscription, or bounty jumpers who,
having cheated the Federal Government of the money
paid for tjaeir military services and spent it, have
resorted to this daring method of replenishing their
purses. Without waiting for proof, the war bigots—
as if one war at a time were not quite enough to
tax all the resources and energies of the people—
take advantage of this act of highway robbery, to
insist that the robbers are Confederate soldiers, that
they planned their invasion upon Canadian soil, and
that the British Government must be held to strict
account for harbouring, if not for encouraging them.
"This,' says a journal which is always more or less
rabid when it discourses of Great Britain, " is a very
serious matter, and demands immediate and decisive
action on the part of the British authorities in
Csnada—actions of a very different kind from that
which they have lately taken in cases of violation
of neutrality. If they look with unconcern on
such attempts, or act in a feeble manner, it will
most assuredly lead to painful and most unde.
sirable results." Another and more notorious
journal, which never speaks seriously upon any
subject, except when it desires to excite animosity
against England, wishes war to be declared at once
against Canada and theßritish Maritime Provinces,
not alone for the offence of these marauders, but
especially for the encouragement given to " rebel
pirates" in the harbours of Nova Scotia, "There
can be no question," it says, " of their responsi-
bility, for they have not only furnished the men
and money for these outrages, but afforded shelter
to those concerned in them. In the event of their
leading to a war with Great Britain, as they unques-
tionably will if continued, they would be the first
that would be made to feel the full weight of our
vengeance." It happens that the Canadian autho-
rities have acted with the utmost promptitude, and
afforded every facility for tracing and giving up the
thieves concerned in the attack upon St. Alban's.
They would have done so whether the ruffians were
Federals or Confederates, bounty jumpers or de-
serters, or simply professional plunderers. They
require no incentive to do their duty other than a
sense of right and justice, and have done it ungrudg-
ingly. But the hectoring of the anti-British and
anti-Canadian press produces an effect the opposite
of that intended by the bullies who indulge in it.
Aimed against Great Britain it disgusts and offends
the people of the colonies, and has been so often re-
peated without provocation as to make the name of
a Yankee quite as odious to the British Americans
as it is to the people of the South. There never was
much cordiality of feeling between the people on the
opposite shores of the Lakes and the St. Lawrence.
The little that ever existed has been gradually
growing less, and such wanton insults—which the
New York and New England journals never omit
an opportunity of directing against England—all
based upon the supposition that British North
