On the morning Of the 18th, we left
St. Johns by the railroad for Laprairie.
We were tied two by two, and our guards
were SEATED on either side, in the cars.
We took the steamboat at Laprairie and
it was not long before we were at Mon
treal. No one was allowed to speak to US on
board. We were no doubt expected there,
for an immense crowd was assembled on
the wharves. This rabbIe among which
were Dr.. Arnold, Sen. and several other
violent tories, taking a verv active part,
was exclusively composed OF loyalists; in
those days OF public calamity no radical
dared to show his face in the streets OF
Montreal. We owe a great deal to the
military guard which accompanied US, they
protected US against this loyal ra5ble, whose
threats drowned themselves in loud and
boisterous vociferations. The valiant DR..
Arnold who is magistrate, was one of
the most noisy. We were first taken to
the old jail, from whence we were escorted
TO the new Jail by a body Of volunteer cav
airy and infantry. This march looked more
like a triumph than any thing else in the
eyes Of Sir John Colborne I; we certainly
were not the most brilliant part Of the
procession, for we were handcufed, our
clothes torn, our faces were emaciated from
the effects Of hunger and all kinds of pri-
walton which we had endured !; nor had
we shaved for weeks past. Nevertheless,
in spite Of all these things, so powerful is
the incentive Of a good cause that far from
being ashamed OF the state in which we
appeared then, we felt proud and honored;
il seemed 10 us that we were the conque-
rors. do not know if it was fancy with
me, but our conductors seemed to me as iG
they were troubled with guilty consciences.
Indeed both parties might have been right.
Had we not, fought in defence Of our
rights and with the intention OF getting rid
OF the calling yoke under which our coun-
Try was suffering so muchi Were we not
the champions of liberty? Were not these
volunteers, on the contrary, working with
all their might TO rivet British chains on
the Canadas? Were they not the suppor-
tiers Of tyranny?
have perhaps dwelt too long on the
history Of our suferings, from the moment
we were taken prisoners to the day We en-.
tered the dwelling prepared for US by Miss
Victoria Guelph's minions. Indeed we are
not those who have been the most illtreaied;
but we are more accurate in describing our
own feelings than those OF others who

AT last Mr.. Du Calvet had the promise
from the Colonial Secretary at London
that Governor Haldimand should be recall
led, and that he (Mr. Du Calvci) would
have the opportunity Of substantiating his
charges against him. After this solemn
pledge, Mr.. Du Calvet in the Spring OF
1855 crossed the Atlantic, aud came 10
Canada to collect his proofs against Gen.
Haldimand. The Governor was really
recalled 10 answer several accusations
brought against him. The Governor left
of course in a ftigate;-Mr. Du Calvet,
faithful to his promise to the Colonial Sc
cretary, left about the same time, with ms
only SON in a merchandising. He had
collected all the necessary proofs against
the Governor. This is the last that was
ever heard OF him. Vague rumours were
spread abroad that during the voyage, he
was taken with his son, put into a bag and
thrown overheard. The accusation of this
horrible murder was brought against Gen.
H%aldimand, but he was protected, by the
ministers, and left for Switzerland, his ma
tive country. Such was the end OF the
poor unfortunate and honest Pierre Du
Calvet.-[ED. NoTE.

0TThe friends of Thos. L. Dobyns
Esq. have called our attention to the fact
that his name, as candidate for county
representative, is dropped in the last num-
Der Of the Fayette Advocate. Those who
were mainly instrumental in bringing the
name of Mr.. Dobyns before the people for
their sutirages, assure US that this withdraw
al is without their knowledge or consent
and that they are determined to run him on
the Wing ticket, unless his pretensions
should be decided against by county con-
vention. We do not yet deem it polite or
expedient to advocate the claims of any
particular candidate-and we deem the
above but an act Of justice to MIR. Dobyns
and those by whose request his annuncia-
ton was first made public.

meteors would doubtless have been seen. Of
the number observed, about one third part ex-
ceedcd in brig ghtness, stars Of the first magnis
iude, and few were more splendid than Ne-
nus. About half Of them left luminous trains,
some Of which remained visible several sec

The night Of Saturday. the 10th, was like

During three hours. ending at one o'clock Of
