AFFAIRS on THE CAxADiAN FRoHTiER.-The reader
will discover, frnm the proceedings in both Houses OF
Congress yesterday, that the unhappy stale of affairs on
the Canada frontier, arising from unauthorized and lille.
cal proceedings of our own citizens, followed ny equally
illegal retort on the part Of the Canadians, lin the as.
saul, and destruction of life in the case of the steamboat
Caroline) yesterday occupied, for q brief space the at
trn,ion of both Houses of Congress-; the motions on the
subject having been preceded by a message from the Pre-
siden, Of The United States, asking Congress to give
more effective power 10 the Executive for preserving
pence on our borders.
1t gives us great satisfaction TO be able to state that
the whole subject was treated, in debate, with a gravity
propnrlionale 10 it's Importance; that no excitement was
manifested but such rs became the occasion, and that no
other feeling was exhibited on the occasion Than was
purely national, patriotic, and, in the main, PaciGc. 1t
would have been strange, indeed, under existing c'rctm'
slancrs, had it been otherwise. But we mention Inc
fact because Of the excitement on The subject, which is
known to exist away North, but which is not felt TO any
great extent in this meridian. Int.

Or Wednesday, The 2Eh ut about ~ o'clock, the
large dwelling house of Capt Henry Wilson, of Halifax
County, Va was consumed By fire. The flame was ds'
covered in the roof, at the west end, the WIND very
strong from the north west, and every thing very dry
1t had made considerable progress before it was d'scoV'
cred. Luckily, the ovcrsrer and all the hands were I'm
mcdiately on the spnt. Two young gentlemen, Mr..
Cl4rdy, an inmate of the family, and MIR. Ferguson,
who was on a visit, made Il rush 10 stop tile progress OF
the fire, but finding it impossible, orders were then given
10 clear the house Of the furniture. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed on Mr.. Layne, The overseer, MT.
Clardy, and Mr.. Ferguson, for the great exertIon' lhey
made. Ii would be injustice even 10 the negroes, 10
withhold from them The praise which is due, tor their
great exertion in saving their masters property-men
and women. without distinction. In a short time, the
house was cleared Of all the valuable furniture, except
the bed steads up stairs. After this was completed, The
men rushed into the house with axes, and saved seven
doors on the lower floor. out of nine, several windows
and 3 chimney pieces. While engaged in this, there was
the greatest dangcr-6re was falling about in every d.
rcclion. Several &c the %neighbors repaired to the scene
Great praise is also due them for their e1crtlons. Capt.
Womack, a gentleman advanced in years, rendered great
service in saving the furniture. The %hospltabie neigh
bors, the same evening, repaired TO the spot with wug
CONS and carts, and removed all the valuable furniture
10 n spacious dwelling house, which the unfortunate man
had, on q plantation a small distance of; and at night,
he was comfortably situated again at his own licne.
There is no doubt but the fire originated from q spark
from the chimney.

min, be requested to furnish to this House the information
called for by the resolution Of the 18th of June last, If
made out, and if not, TO assign The reasons why"
In reply, have 10 state on The part Of the Fsrmcrs'
Bank of Virginia, that the information called for by
the resolution Of the fifteenth of June last, is not
now completed. II was in good faith attempted to
be given, and WIS commenced as soon after the receipt
Of the resolution, as The multifarious engagements of the
officers of the Bank would permit.
But from the very character of the affirmation sought
TO be obtained, it was soon ascrrlainrd that no one off.
Ger, nor any combination Of the officers, could give it
fully and correctly.
1t WINS required, that the number Of individuals and
firms, the niiice, trade or occupation of each, and the
number OF corporations liREle to the Bank al Richmond,
on the 10Th of June, 1887, with the Indebtedness of each,
and the residence of each debtor, should be given.
After many days OF labor bestowed, we were enabled,
though not with entire accuracy, to make out q state
ment in part, extending TO sixteen pages Of large folio
post paper, when The adjournment OF the Legislature
occurred, and we ceased the effort.
In the trial made, it vas found impossible TO classify
the debtors correctly us 10 their particular occupations,
and in many cases to fix with certainty The residence,
because, as before stated, the officers Of the Bunk did
not possess adequate knowledge in the premises. As To
the amount Of The Indebtedness of each person, there
was no difficulty.
Hence it will be seen, that the Information asked for
was not withheld by reason of any unwillingness to
furnish it, but from the many difficulties in arriving att.
