The Revoluti ON I'm Canada.

The most important subject before the pubic. UNI
questionaby the affairs Of Canada-now in a state
Of insuIrecten and revolution. The bearing and con-
necton of this movement with this country are of
the most intense interest Ii is another Texas revc-
luton, but with more powerful mother country than
Mexico, To prolong the contest. That there will be
like symF athy for the Canadian patriots among our
population as there was for those of Texas seems ma
tural and probable. Our government is placed, how
ever in the most delicate position. The British pow
er on the ocean, is capable Of making ample reprsas
on our commerce, if the Cover nment the people
should depart from the strcest neutrality pursue
the same policy which has been done in the case Of
Texas.
II ia Of the highest Importance therefore that while
we sympathze with people, struggling for their ber-
ty, we should de nothing calculated TO impair the OBJ
legation Of treaties, existing between this country
and England As we possess the best and most au-
ihentic information the present state Of affairs in
Canada, eqrally to persons, manners and events,
we shall proceed TO deveope the true position Of the
quarrel between that colony and the mother country.
We have sent correspondent to Canada, for the pur-
pose of furnishing the Herald with the most authentic
narrative Of the progress of events. Until he shall
reach the scene Of action we shall 90 on with the
series Of preliminary observations, which we began
on Saturday.
Tomorrow if possible, our next article will be pub
lshed on this interesting subject, bringing down the
narrative to the present time, and sketchng of the
characters of the prominent men of both sides.
later NEws.-Rumors of all kinds are rife
relating TO the progress Of events in Canada ;
but there are none that feel any confidence in
stating anthentatively. Every thing that comes from
Frankfort and Burlington on the Vermont frontier
is suspicious, as those places swarm with Canadian
refugee, who will ray put the best face on the
NATTER conceang their losses that their friends may
not be discouraged and exaggeratng the difficulties Of
the royal troops, to gain adherents to their cause.
We are net disposed to believe implicitly the asser-
tens Of the Montreal papers, either as they are all
parisans and give their own celourng TO events.
Our special correspondent in Canada il the only
to which look for correct and unbiased in
| formation.
The last rumour is that Mr.. Brown has rereaied
from ST. Charles TO ST. Dennis; that he lost 200 killed
when he was driven fron ST. Charles and that the
troops were only minus in that affair. We repeat that
eur correspondent, and the official dispatches the

WASHINGTON, Dee. lst.
For two days nothing has been stirring that could

thirty members here. / never before saw so much

will not tell what s going Van Buren, keeps
close, and appearances here are the same now as if
Congress was six months of.
Since the arrival ofthe evening cars it is whispered
by the Wing members who came in them, that Mr.
Bddle has made request to the leading men Of both
Houses not to press this session the question Of
bank; but to keep back till such times as the Wings
get possession Of the Union. Mr.. Bell from Tennes
see, has had an interview with Biddle in person. He
thinks differently from him on such policy, but said
to him l will give the subject consideration"
Mr. Rives has written to Mr.. Calhoun an apology
fer the unfair attacks he made on him during the
extra session. Mr.. Calhoun has answered him, and
has, it is understood, made request to him TO con-
cliate the strife between the Locofocos and the
Conservatives. Mr.. Tamadge is in favor of union
Mr. Wright is not if the Treasury scheme is 10 be
dropped. Mr.. Benton says that must not be DONE

capitol steps, that this rejoicing not to be very

imprudent when they get in power to hold it long"
There is talk here that the President intends Of

editor Of the Post. Mr.. Ghoson is in this city, and
assures his friends if Webb comes here this winter
he make him for what has been said against
Kim by Webb in some private society. Mr..
Gholson is the best shot in the country, and man of
the strongest nerve. Every day he IS practising

this section of the country. a young man from
the Eastern States, with just money enough to
get here, would, on his arrival, go to work for q
month, and earn twenty or thirty dollars by the
time his month was out lie would have learnt
the art of making claim, (squatling on the pub
lie lands j he would go into the woods, and
with an axe cut down few trees, and grdle
few more, and throw together few logs in the
form of Il country cow-pen, and come back to
town and offer his claim for sale--say for one or
two hundred doars-which amount he would
not unfrequently obtain. He would then have
sufficient capital to hire some to make other
claims for him, while he himself would take
board at one of the principal hotels and pass for
ageneman speculator, constantly making claims
through his agent, and again selling them for
what he could get. In this way some have kept
up this new mode of living. But the great re-
vulsion which has Just shaken our whole country
to its foundation, has brought up these mushroom
spectators all standing, as there is no longer any
purchasers of claims, and not boat that leaves
the port, but what takes them off in large num-
bers. As these claimants have relinquished all
labor and lived out all of the money they may
have been in the possession of, they are now
compelled to return to the East or remain as
idle loungers, or boarding ats one place as
long as they can get trusted, and then exchang-
ing it for another-as it is impossible for them to
obtain work at the present time insthis section of
the country The same great cause that has
Frustrated all kinds OF business at the East, is now
beginning to be felt here. The sale of town lots
is not only entirely checked, but these lots have
wonderfully diminished in price. Some few
buildings are in the course of erection, but il is
believed that when those are finished, all opera
tons will be suspended"

The following is an extract of letter of trav-
eller in the west to the New York Express, dated
Milwaukee, Wisconsin Territory, July 1887.
This town, like Chicago, and many other
western towns, is fast rising in importance. 1t is
now but three years since it was purchased from
the Indians, and the land for fifty miles back of
it was only surveyed last year, and none of it
has been offered for sale by the government ex-
cept about two miles square Oh which the town
is now built; but it is "beng" squatted upon daily
by those who had rather live on lands belonging
to the government, than live on those that they
are Obliged to pay for. Besides, they can spec
ulate on what they call ''caims" better than on
decided lands. The making and selling Claims
has been great business during the last year in

PHILADELPHIA August l0M.-Horrible and Dis
tressing .Accident-We regret deeply to learn that
last evening Mrs. Daas mother of the Hon. Geo.
M. Dallas, American Minister to Russia, was in.
simultaneously killed, by n melancholy casualty,
the particulars of which, as they have reached
U.S. are these: Mrs. Dallas returning after
night fall in n carriage from the country, accom-
panied by Mrs. Alex. Campbell, when in passing
through Brown st. the horses attached to the We
hicle took fright and ran away. The breaking
of some part Of the harness brought piece of
wood connected with it, in contact with the heels
Of the horses, and increased their progress to
their topmost speed. At this uncture the tim
orous driver sprang from his seat, leaving his
horses to their own guidance and direction. The
furious animals swept along the street, until, ON
coming in contact with some obstacle, or turning
corner, the carriage was upset, and one of the
affrighted inmates dashed headong on the pave
ment.
Mrs. Campbell the lady thrown out, and
we are gratifed to hear that she saved as
by a miracle, although it pains us to add, that
she was severely bruised and wounded and it is
greatly feared, may not survive. Mrs. Dallas
NAMED in the carriage, if we mistake not, until
the horses were arrested in their fight Being
taken into house, she scarcely able to
speak,-and merely complained of the oppres-
sion of her dress, which prevented her from
breathing freely A groan or two ensued, and
the amented lady had ceased to live There
was no external injury upon her person, except
an inconsiderable bruise upon her armand it is
believed that she died of apopexy, resulting from
extreme terror-although it is not improbable that
the discovery of some internal hurts might result
from thorough post mortem examination.
Mrs. Dallas was an amiable, accomplished,
and hgh-bred woman who has fulfilled i'm
her day and generation with exemplary purity
and truth, the duties Of wife, mother, and a
member of the society which she has SO long
adorned. Her loss will be deeply depiored by
all who love goodness and virtue, .and the bene-
fetal influence of personal worth.-PhI. Gaz.
