CANADA.-The Montreal Herald holds the fol.
lowing unequivocal language in reference to the
measure of annexation to the United States:
" AnneEatiOR should be I'm nediate.-If we have
reason to wish for an incorporation with the States
Of the American Union, like reason prompts US to
desire that this Incorporation should take place as
speedily possible. A state of political transit
ton is a state Of personal and social misery Here
is no tranquitY-no improvement 1t is of the
utmost Importance for the Inhabitants of Canada
as the world believes they are about to pass
through revolution, that they should do it at once
But it is hardly less desirable that there should be
no unnecessary delay, if we look TO the interest of
Great Britain, and to the continuance of that aec-
ton for her, which majority of the colonsts still
entertain, and still desire TO preserve. We would
bring about the inevitable separation, by reason
and with good will, Nothing could be more dsas-
trous than the proongatiOn OF state of suen dis
content, till, having become utterly unbearabe,
some pretext should be seized on as an excuse to
inilame mems minds to hatred and armed opposi-
ton. Nothing is more 10 be avoided than the con
tinuance of depression and misery, till an army of
invaders should be received as DELIVERIES"

MORE LEAD ORE.-A very fine specimen of
lead mineral may be seen in our counting room.
1t was taken from land owned by Mr.. VIM. North,
in Franklin county, four miles east of Union, and
about eight miles from the Missouri river, and
twelve or fourteen miles due north Of the Virginia
mines. The ore is found about three feet below
the surface, in a vein of two or three inches in
thickness and it has been traced for nearly quar-
ter of a mile. One man has been able to get ont
6G0 pounds of the ore in a day As yet il has been
little worked, and the extent Of the lead cannot be
stated accurately hut it his the appearance of be.

couple of Germans, or Frenchmen, who used a
circular saw, etc, in the manufacture of certain
fancy wares. The fire is believed ta have origin

0Es- The Milwaukee Wisconsin states that Mr.
J. A. Heenseins defalcation as receiver of public
moneys, is about $4,000; that he has legal claims
to reduce this amount very considerably; and that
his securities have no doubt of his ample means to
pay any balance that may be found against him.
Perhaps so, but it does not make him less a de-
faulter, that he can pay and has not paid.

0s- A writer in the Mobile Advertiser, whom we
recognize of the craft, has visited this city
for the first time in the last sixteen years, and is
giving his impressions of us. The following is his
account of the approach to the city by the railroad

ments and style were visible. The buildings bore
the marks OF time and the taste peculiar to the
Gauls Beyond, the Saxon progress rose in mass
i've buildings; still, still progressing as far as the
eye could reach. Whata change since the writer's
last visit. What change in sixteen years, and
what changes are still going forward. Massive
blocks of warehouses still erecting along Tchoupi-
tOulas and other contiguous streets; beautiful dwell
lngs at the upper end Of st. Charles, Camp, Pry-

growth and rapid advancement of New Orleans

indignant scathing el0quence upon the clergy and
trustees. He declared his determination to take
their temporal as well as spiritual affairs into his
own hands, and informed the congregation that in
future they were TO consider him as their pastor
He would do his duty, though he regretted to saw
that ST. Peters was the only church that had de-
serted him. All persons except owners of pews

Mr.. y. N. Ogden, the wing candidate for Con-
gress in the Fourth District Of this State, has writ
tan letter on the subject of his Tariff opinions
1t credits this paper with the publication Of para
graph from former letter Of his, and proceeds to
explain his present views, as compared OF contrast
ed with those then expressed. We do not remem-
Der from what interior paper we copied his letter
1t seems, however, that ii was written three years
ago, and published at that time, although we were
not aware Of the fact. We gave it as an item of
news, ss we do all published letters of public men,
of all parties, who candidates for responsible
public stations. In that letter, addressed to the
Alexandria Democrat, Mr.. Ogden said:
" am opposed, and have so publicly expressed
myself, in your hearing, to a tariff for protection,
and advocate only tariff for revenue, sufficient
for the expenditures of the Government, economi-
Cally administered y with incidental protection,
within the revenue limit /; revenue being the OBJ
Ject, and protection the incident adopt fully the
sentiment Of Mr.. Folks Message on this subject
as we'll as his opposition to the arbitrary minimum
valuations, assumed in the tariff act of 1912 nor
do believe that different opinion this subject
is held by any considerable portion Of the wings of
this parish. also recognize in the fullest manner
the right Of instruction"
In the present letter Mr.. Ogden thus records the
modification Of his views since 1876:
g think that the duties should be made sDecifc
as lar as PJssibleaud that the present ad valoren
system, depending upon foreign Uallatior, should
be entirely abandoned. Whatever Impressions I
may have had formerly in regard to this matter
yielded to the reasoning and evidence brought be-
fore Congress during the discussion of the act of
l846, showing the facility with which, by means
Of false invoices, frauds upon the Revenue might
be committed and proving beyond dispute that
such frauds had, under the same fystem, been actu-
| ally committed 10 an enormous amount. These
We're shown, in many instances, to have been ia,
| dtcIaHy ascsrtaSRed-and their magnitude may be
inferred from the fact that in one case, occurring
in New York, the revenue was delranded by one
foreign importer alone of S2O0,0G1 in the space of
twenty months. They are now of daily occur
renee in our Custom house. In regard to the duty
on sugar, have 10 hesitation in saving that con
slider 1t entirely inadequate, whether on the score
Of revenue or Of protection"
