Col. Cameron has been appointed Sher
if of the Niagara District Gu. c. in place

@-We learn by the Freeman's Advo.
cate, that letter has been received from
one of the prisoners taken at Point au Pele
now confined at Fort Henry, that Their
trial is to take place on the Esd of April.
We hope the call made upon their friends
and the friends of freedom, may enable
them to obtain council.
PIPING HoT.-The reader PERHAPS will re-
member an article in our last, wherenthe Herald
able to take the Canadas. The following from the
same paper, is such palpable contradiction, that
the insanity Of its conductors is now uiequiyocally
settled.
" So far as the actual protection of the
country (the Canadas] is concerned, there
are volunteers enough in it, willing and
burning with desire to show that they can
protect it independent Of the arge regular
military force, which could tevastate the
internal portion of the States from one
extremity to the other, while the steam
and sailing wooden walls of Cid England
would lay their entire seaboari in ashes
in very short time. If a warshould, un-
fortunately, be the result of the border at
lacks and the faithlessness of the Ameri-
can authorities, Great Britain will enter
upon it with good cause, which is one half
of the battle; and she must not only take
but keep possession Of, her former rebel
colonies; blot republicanisns from the
globe, and the United States as a nation,
from the map. That she has the pover
no one can doubt, and that she has the
will, if unfortunately she is forced to show
lit, is equally certain. "-.Montreal Herald.

BURNING OF THE CARoLINE.-More
than year and a quarter has elapsed
since this deed of outrage was committed,
and what has been done TO obtain redress,
for an act which admits no denial, pallia-
ton, or excuse an act Of premeditated
murder, which has been made national by
the avowal and defence OF it by the Colo
NAL government, and by the honors tina,
have been awarded to the perpetrators by
the Queen Of England herself? What
has been done to obtain satisfaction for
the invasion of our soil, the violation OF
our flag, the destruction of our property
and the murder Of our citizens What
has been done to defend the honor and
the rights of our country, to redress our
wrongs and avenge the insult? What,
indeed
We do not ask these questions to keep
alive excitement, and feed the flame Of in
dignation that this and other acts Of cru
city have kindled against the government
of England, but because the honor of
our country is involved in the subject
because it is question of the utmost i'm
portance to every American citizen, whe-
Their our country is to submit to such out
rages-whether we shall sleep securely I'M
der the protection of the star spangled
banner, or be at the mercy of every band
of brutal assassins, who may see fit to
steal upon our midnight slumbers, and
murder, ravage and destroy, without fear
ofretribution, or whether the vengeance
of a powerful government shall be visited
upon the Offenders in every such instance,
