BAREFACED AND PROFLIGATE
FALSEHOOD.

Language cannot express the contempt
which we feel for the author of the follow
ing paragraph. 1t was penned by that mi
racle of purity, she editor Of the Federal
Republican.
GA great many violations of the Canadian
women by the troops of the United States,
took place at the time of the late attacks
In support of the facts we can refer to re-
spectacle testimony which is much more
than any man of honor and credit will take
upon himself TO say respecting the events
at Hampton, notwithstanding the falsehoods
propagated from the highest authority in
Virginia, with the laudable view of rousing
and esasperating the honest people of the
state to the support of most wicked and
dishonorable war, which is abhorred, and
can gain temporary countenanCe only
from falsehood and misrepresentation, a.
mong even the most deluded sections Of the
people"
SO help as, God we believe this tale
about the " violations of the Canadian wo-
men" is falsehood trumped up by J. Wag-
no. himself for the purpose Of screening
the enemy from our jus. indignation-Who
ever heard of 1t before Have you seen it
in the federal prints, which, God knows
have not been sparing In their efforts to ca
illuminate the troops of their country 3
Have you seen ii in the papers of Montreal?
Have you seen it in the late long winded
general orders of governor Provost lit
was reserved for the editors Of the Federal
Republican to discover this disgrace. If
he did not forge it himself we dare him TO
name his authority. We call upon him foY
his proofs. We wish to see the respec-
table" gentleman, who would stamp the lie
with his name.
MIR. Wagner denies that there is any re-
spectacle witness to the " events at Hamp-
ton'--and seems to insinuate that all we
have scents series o" fasehood propagat-
ed from the highest authority in Virginia"

Richard Z. Parker, Of the county of West
moreland whose name alone carries its
evidence with it. Are these and host Of
others to be disbelieved, in compliment to
the editor Of the Federal Republican.
Even admiral Warren himself is unable
to deny these atrocities, and has sought to
justify them by plea as false as it is abb
surd, viz. that our troops made a sacrifice
Of unrcsiting prisoners at Craney Island.
Gen. Taylor has called court Of enquiry,
whose report utterly disproves the aflega-
ton. Warren attempted to hush the matter
up-but the General would not rest satis6.

ed under such imputations and he has
succeeded in clearing the character Of our
troops-What viii Warren now do = The
General has called on him to institute a
court OF enquiry, and probe the conduct
of his troops at Hampton. If the admiral
refuses this reasonable demand; if he re-
fuses TO bring the criminals to condign
punishment, IL is the duty Of our govern

July 2eth, 1918.
SfR-Laying off Dennis's Greek this
morning, | discovered that an enemy's
sioop of war had chased small vessel. and
taken her near the Overfalls imme.
Hately got under weigh, and stood down
the Bay. The sloop of war stood so near
the Overtalls, that she grounded slightly ON
tie outer ridge Of Crows shoals. | tho't
proper to endeavor to bring him to action.
l succeeded and got within three-ouarters
OF mile and anchored the boats Consist
ing OF eight gun-boats and two Block
Sioops) In line ahead. A heavy frigate
had by this time anchored about half
mile further out After cannonade ofone
hour and forty live minutes, In which the
sniPs Kept up constant and heavy fire,
heavIng their shot from halt to three quar-.
tiers OF mile over as, they doing us but
little damage, their shot seldom strikine. us.
the sioop OF war and frigate, findine our
shot to tell on their bulls, manned their
boats ten in number 1.-TWO launches, the
rest large barges and cuttcrs) with from so
to 40 men IN each, and dispatched them af-
ter gun-b No. l2l, sailing master Shead,
which had unfortunately fell mile and
half out of the line, although it had been
my positive and express orders to anchor
at half cable length apart and not farther.
From the strong ebb tide they succeeded
IN capturing her, after gallant resistance,
(ior three times did No. l2i discharge her
long gun, apparently full of canister.
among the whole line of boats when at We
ry short distance, which must have done
execution, and not till after he was boarded
did the colors come DOWN before aBy as
sistance could be given her however, we
got near enough TO destroy three or four
of their boats, and must have killed VAST
number of men. 1t being a calm they.
succeeded III getting her away, by send
ing all their boats ahead and towing her:
but have paid dearly for their temerity,
they must at least have had one third of
their men killed and wounded. They put
one shot through the foot of the Bu[faloe's
lib, and one through the under part Of the
bowsprit, and cut gun-boat No. l25, Sail
ing Master L. Moiiere's rigging in seve-
raj places, and an islb. shot struck her
long gun and ipdented it several inches;
but happy am to say, that not man was
wounded in any of the boats, except the
one captured, and have not yet learnt their
tate. / feel much indebted to 1t. Mitchell,
and officers commanding gun-boats for
their spirited conduct in carrying into exc
cution my orders and if may Judge from
