Iiub they held him il" tic Creek at Oak
land, unit! an Indian tore his scaip from his
head! Such is tho l~cnicncy Of The tories
in Canula. They entered the houses OF
those absent, scattered their private papers,
destroyed their property, and turned women
and children ont of their houses. Such is
their SaIlantry
The Buffalo Journal hopes that The Grand
Jury, i'll session in Niagara County, will
find an indictment against the British SOL
dirr Or soldiers who, in utter violation of our
laws shot an individual within The jurisdic-
ton of this State, although cautioned and
ordered not to do il by Il person in the SER
vice Of The United States.
The greatest excitement yet exists in
Rochester. Tic forces OF Navy Island, it
is now reported, amount to 1000 men, pref

Correspondence Of the albany Evening .].1omnot.
NIAGARA FALLS Dec, 23.
Dear Sir;-SinccI wrote voa before, the
Governor of Upper Canada, Sir Francis
Head, has made a visit TO that part CT :ho
Province opposite here. Immediately OH
landing at Niagara. he was Informed that
Mckenzie, had been in Yonncsiou bat an
hour or two before, which was true. When
this came to his ears, he is said to !Iavc be-
havcd himself very unlccoming a man in
his situation ,cursinS and hamnins all around
him, for not crossing over and shooting
M'kcnZic in liz street, and ordering {, boat
sassinatc him on his way from LouiS;on to
the Falls, and say;ngtlat he would sacri-
flee the lives Of half the men of the Prov
ince but lie would take Navy island. He
has gone back to Toronoto without accom-
plishing either, While he was NJ ClIippc-
wa, several attempts were made to raise
volunteers 10 attack the Island. oll the
most that ever came were fiticcn-a mca-
gre force to come against Il place like Ma
Wy Island, where they have from IL to -
pieces Of oannon.
1t is said that Governor Head has ordered
an army to be raised by cn!isimcnts for u
campaign against the Island but a rcpUr,
is current today, that he has given orders
not to modest these on the island, so long
as they stay there peaceably,'
We hava various contradictory reports OF
the operations of DR.. Duncunbc in the Lon
don Dis,rict-some that his men are dis
pcrscd and others that he has gained a COM
pletc victory over the Roya!ists under Me-
Nabb. The last and probably correct re-
with his men.
Every species of outrage and insult are
pracliscd upon the Radicals by The Tories,
Il great many of whom are Irish Orange
men. Men arc dragged from their homes
ut the dead of night TO prison, and obliged
TO wait for weeks for Il trial when nothing
can hc found against them, others have
their houses entered and %rulnnascd from,
,or to bottom.
In addition to the Irish, there have heen
several Indians employed by The Govern
ment, and let loose upon the inhabitants of
districts where they are mostly Radicals
A few days aso they caught n Radical, and
cut IL hole through the ice in Malcom's
pond and put him in alive. Such things as
that, allowed by a civilized people, ought
10 arouse every spark Of patrio'ism wi.icl,
exists in the breasts of the free and indie
pendent inhabitants of our republic.
