ANTICIPATED DINsURRECTIoNTN CAM
ADA.-The revolutionary demonstra-
tions in Canada are beginning to engage
the attention of our government. It is
stated by a Washington correspondent
of the New-York Herald that in the
event Of an outbreak or revolution in
Canada, it is the intention of our gov
ernment to prevent interference on the
part of our citizens, and that Gen. Wool
will probably he sent to the northern
frontier for the purpose of restraining
our citizens. Upon this the Herald
says:
"But this cannot prevent the people
on our borders from sympathizing with
the Canadians in their efforts to separ-
ate from England. Indeed, tits very
probable that that class of our popula-
ton known as free-soilers, will be the
first to break the regulation because it
will be their desire to separate Canada
from England, SO that it may be incor-
porated with this country and increase
the strength of their party. However
this may be, til very probable that the
action of our government will be the
very means of fastening the crisis which
appears to be approaching in Canadian
affairs, because it Will leave the people
Of that country to settle the matter
themselves. The probability is, from
what we have seen recently, that when
the step is decided upon, and the blow
struck for separation, the whole popula-
ton of Canada will be favorable to the
measure

"A Telegraph dispatch to the Evening
News says:
An arrival at 81. Louis brings Santa Fe
dates up TO The second Of February. The
intelligence is, that Col. Fremont and his
party, reduced to starvation, had been
feeding on the bodies of their comrades.
Fremont reached Tuos, walking $50 miles
in nine days, though suffering dreadfully,
his hands rnd feet being frozen. He ac-
companied detachment OF Dragons back
TO his camp, carrying relief TO the surviv-
ors of his party.
The Sumter Banner comes TO us this
week much enlarged, with new head,
and presenting very neat appearance.
We regret to learn however, from a
graceful Valcdic.ory, that it's to lose its
former head in The person Of FRANCIS Nj. /.
ADAMS, Esq. who re,ires from The Edi,o-
rial chair which he has filled since the es.
'ahlishment of the paper.
Tne courtesy and urbanity manifested
by MIR. ADAMS, and his fearless and sire
nuous vindication Of true Southern doc
trine, render his withdrawal at this time
the more TO be regretted. We wish him
success in any other vocation to which he
may apply his talents and his energies.
