We have long entertained strong suspis
cions that the conquest of Canada was no
part Of the plan Of the Administration in
1912. At the commencement Of the war
England was engaged in mighty conflict
with Napoleon. She could spare but
small force to defend the canadas. General
Hull could have marched triumphantly
through the Upper Province. But there
was either imbecility or treason at Washing

singular Disclosures.

The Hudson Democratic Freeman has on
article, from which we extract the follow.
ing remarkably singular disclosures:
"Oor readers recollect that at the Novem
Der Circuit Court, before Judge Parker, New
ton Gay wss convicted of iape upon the
person Of Sarah Pilling, and was sentenced
to the Sing Sing Prison, where he now is.--
We now learn thatMiss Rilling most sacred
ly denies that he ever committed the out.
rage, and declares him wholly innocent
She has visited him in prison, and has sought
interviews with Governor Hunt, and the
presiding Judge for his pardon, asserting her
unhappiness at the result. and deep contri-
ton for theinjury she has inflicted. So the
story goes. How il will eventually turn out,
we cannot divine--but we are inclined to
the belief that the enormity Of Miss Pillings
offence is great. She says positively that
Newton Gay is innocent, she tells the Gov
ernor and every one else so. She swore to
the contrary" - t-
The Freeman states the particulars Of a
case which was tried before Judge Wright,
in Sullivan county, The rape was positive
ly sworn to BY the female accuser--the ply
sicisn testified to the mutilated condition Of
her person-her arms were black and blue
her garments torn, &C., and het appearance
be!okened the most brutal assault:
"The young man, who had always sustain-
ed most exemplary character, was convict
ed and sentenced to Sing Sing. After hav-
ing been there SOME six or seven months, his
health become poor and he was much enfee-
bled. But Providence prevented the sacfi.
flee Of life. The female was taken sick, and
on her dying bed confessed ber guilt, declar-
ing before Heaven. that the lacerations and
bruises about her person were done with her
own hands, fot the purpose Of producing sus-
tanning evidence. In this case, II may be
well said that II
.EIell hath no fury like woman scorned.''

Shocking Occurrence.

We are indebted 10 d correspondent for
the following particulars of most painful
and heart-rending calamity. The DWELLING
house Of Bradley Brown, in the town 81
Bradford, Mexican county, Pa, which was
occupied by Mi. and Mrs, Brown, and six
small children, was burned on the night Of
the Tth inst, and three of the children were
consumed in the conhagration. The first
that was discovered OF The fire, Mrs. 3.
awoke, and seeing the flames rushing Ia
from another part of the house, and being
well aware that they must escape in a mo-
ment or perish in the house, she alarmed the
family and succeeded in getting out two Of
the children. Mr.. B. jumped out OF bed,
took the infant which slept with them, and
carried it out. There were still three boys
in the house, who weie aged, respectively,
8. I and 2 years. They attempted to 20
back after these three, but the fire had spread
through the house SO that it was impossible
TO get to them. At this moment one Of the
children was heard calling 10 It's mother TO
come and take him out Of the fire. The
frantic mother could hesitate no longer, but
rushed into the flames 10 rescue her children.
She was dressed in cotton night clothes,
which took fire ss soon as she came in con.
tact with the flames, and twas with diff.
Guilty she got out alive. The roof of the
house soon fell in. and all further efforts to
save the children became hopeless. The
neat morning all that was left of them was
the bones, which were carefully collected
and buried. MIs. B. was very badly burned.

u but suppose japan snould refuse tC
open her ports and enter into commercial
regulations with our government-shall we
attempt TO force her into measures sgains,
her own will? If this principle, advocated
by the Dispatch, will hold good with govern
ments, il cannot be condemned in individu-
ais. The principle is dangerous one, and
we hope our government and people may re-
pudiate it.-Irib. &. Clip.
We agree with our neighbor, SO far as the
right of every nation to regulate her own in
tsrnal affairs is concerned, and do not wish
10 he understood as recommending our gov
eminent to interfere with such regulations
unless provoked to do SO by continued out
RACES upon our commerce. 1t is the duty oi
every government to protect its citizens from
the expressions of barbarous as well as civil
lied nations and wien by misfortune or un-
avoidable circumstances our people are

panese, the United States would be recrean
to their duty, were they not to take steps tc
prevent further outrsges. "But suppose Ja
pan should refuse to open her ports and entel
into commercial regulations with our govern
ment," are we to have no assurances that nc
more unfortunate men will be bound with
CALLING chords, carried about in cages like
beasts, or murdered, as heretofore? Verify,
our neighbor has strange ideas of what is due
to us asa nation, and hisnotionsof non-inter-
vention, are striking and peculiar enough
If the Japanese expect to preserve their in
communicative position with the world, they
must treat unfortunate seamen with respect,
and not level their Bitieries at every ship
blown upon their coasts otherwise, they
will find, in the end, what they now seek to
avoid. their ports filed with men Of war and
themselves forced into treaty declaring il
the privilege Of the ships Of oil natiens to
enter and trade at any port on the extended
sea coast Of Japan.
The Tribune and Clipper further says:
"The conduct of England. in hertreatment
Of the Chinese, is fresh in the minds Of our
people; and we hope they will not counte-
nance similar outrage on the part Of our
own government, should it be attempted in
our proposed negotiations with Japan"
Notwithstanding the unjustifable conduct
Of Britain, at the time, her treatment Of the
Chinese has been Of immense benefit to the
whole civilized world, and to the Chinese
themselves. This we ihink will be readily
admitted by all who have noticed the results
which followed. Such results would follow
the opening of the ports Of Japan. While
we would be entirely justified in chastisine
that nation at once, no one desires wal
without first trying every art Of diplomacy
to accomplish our object. All nations must
respect our flag, peaceably if they will,"-
but our flag must be respected.

The Expedition to Japan.

The New York Courier and Enquirer dis.
cnsses the movement of our Government to.
ward Japan, and commends it. The Cou.
rier gives some interesting statistics:
The empire Of Japan covers on area ol
more than one hundred thousand square
miles, and lies between the Both and 43d o
of North latitude, and the l29th and 143d Q
Of East longitude, and lying on the eastern
side Of the Continent, has a climate similar
to our own, between the same parallels Of
latitude--that is, between New Orleans and
New York. Its population is estimated at
thirty millions; and covering an Archipela-
90, its seac0ast is more extensive than the
whole Atlantic coast Of the United States.
1t not only lies directly opposite our possess
ions on the Pacific coast, but the two great
islands OF Niphon and Yesso from the
Stmi,s OF Sangar, through which hun
dfeds of our whale fleets are compelled an
nually 10 pass; but TO land upon the shores
ofawhich for supplies OF wood, water, or the
necessities Of life, or to be forced upon
them BY stress Of weather, Subjects the IN.
fortunate whaler TO robbery and death! "
Japan not only refuses to hold CONNER
cial intercourse with the rest Of the world
a very questionable right; but she goes fur
ther, and occupying as she does an enor-
nous extent Of seacoasi, she not only refu-
ses to open her ports 10 foreign vessels in
distress. but actually opens her batteries up
on them when they approach within gnn-
shot OF her shores; and when driven upon
them BY stress Of weather, she seizes upon
imprisons, exhibits in cages and actually
murders the crews Of such ill-iated vessels
