The generals who have no State recorded against
; their names are, I fancy, mostly Northerners en-
gaged in the Confederate service, and one can hardly
3 fail to be struck by the absence of foreigners from
this list, hardly a name occurring which is not
purely Anglo -Saxon.
I have seen two letters written from the South
by a high official. One from New Orleans, written
just after the capture of Fort Donnelson (which
arrived here via England), speaks very despond-
ingly of the state of the Confederate cause, and
indicates Norfolk as the place where the final
struggle is to be made; the second, from the same
person and place, only about ten days old, which
has come across the Northern States in a most
mysterious manner, is written in a very hopeful
strain. The writer imagines that the Merrimac
and two other Southern armed steamers (now
nearly ready for sea) will make short work of the
blockade, and that the recognition of the Confede-
racy by the European Powers must necessarily
follow. It is curious to observe how a small success
elates either party to the American quarrel, and how
a temporary reverse causes a corresponding depres-
kion. Public feeling here, which some three months
ago was violently in favour of the South, has com-
pletely veered round; the everlasting "Dixie," which
the gods of Toronto Theatre used to demand from
the orchestra nightly, and receive with unbounded
applause, is now scarcely ever called for, and on the
rare occasions when some enthusiastic Southerner
ventures to shout for the once popular air, the sug-
gestion is invariably received with contemptuous
laughter, and proposals not calculated to increase
the personal comfort of its originator.
The troops despatched for the protection of our
North American possessions are at length settled
in their respective quarters, the last detachment of
the military train, which had been employed along
the road across New Brunswick, having passed
through Toronto, on its way to Hamilton, a few days
ago. lam unable at present to send an account of
the stations of the artillery, engineers, and military
train ; I hope to do so by next mail ; but the infan-
try are disposed of as follows (omitting small de- I
tachments, of which I hope soon to be able to give
you an exact account) :

Quebec-Ist battalion 17th, 4th battalion 60th
Rifles, Military Train, Artillery, Engineers.
Montreal-Ist battalion Grenadier Guards, 2nd
battalion Coldstream Guards, 47th, Military Train,
Artillery, Engineers.

Kingston—Wing Canadian Rifles, 62nd, Artil-
lery, Engineers,
Toronto---30th, Military Train, Artillery.
Hamilton-Ist R. 8., Military Train, Artillery,
Engineers.
London—Wing, Canadian Rifles, 62d.

Between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are
quartered the Ist battalion 15th, 2d battalion IGth,
and 2d battalion 17th.

The officers despatched here on particular ser-
vice—that is, for the purpose of organising the
Canadian militia—have.been ordered home, and are
fast departing; the exodus of the additional medi-
cal officers sent out last January having already
terminated. The horses of the field batteries have
been reduced to a peace establishment, and officers
are again permitted to apply for leave of absence
to England. The volunteers in the cities and large
towns still continue a spasmodic course of drill, but
the war feeling has died out, and it would take
much to revive it.

Canadian politics present so few objects of inte-
rest to an English reader, that it is, perhaps, hardly
worth mentioning that even the supporters of the
present Ministry admit that its continuance in
office during the present session is extremely pro-
blematical; the rock on which it is, perhaps,
destined to split being the ranch-vexed question of
representation by population. In 1838, at the
time of the legislative union of Upper and Lower
Canada, an equal share of the representation was
given to each province, though Lower Canada had
then by far the larger population. At present the
tables are turned, the tide of immigration, which
has flowed steadily westward, having placed W.res-
tern Canada 250,000 ahead of its Eastern neigh-
bour. The opponents of a change in the present
system base their objections on the ground that
fourteen years more may restore the formerpropor-
tionsbetween the two sections of the province, and
that a far greater disparity than at present exists
should be shown before any attempt to interfere
with the status quo ought t 9 be entertained. The
present Ministry (in all senses a coalition) haN lug
had lately to pension off some of its members, finds
great difficulty in filling their places ; many mem-
bers who give their support to the Ministers object-
ing to take office under them, having a decided
objection to face their constituencies at an election,
where their unredeemed pledges to support repre-
sentation would be paraded against them. The re-
elections will take place next week, and by them
the fate of the present Government will very pro-
bably be decided.
