THE UN1oS.-The Canada papers, as is
natural, busy themselves considerably about
the affairs of the United States. They all
seem to think that the Union is breaking to
pieces, and that presently they will have a
"good time" over the wreck. The following
from the Torento Examiner is worth noting:
"Ihe day is not so far distant rs some peo-
pie imagine when the vast country which now
bears the name of British America will form
an independent State. Everything tends to
hasten it. The American Union is crumbling
to pieces 1t will probably not survive more
than ten years. By that time the provinces of
which Canada is the chief, will have popuIa.
tion of five millions, if not more. The com
munication between the agricultural districts
of the West and the seaboard, by railway, will
have made them commercially independent.
In the maritime provinces large cities will
have grown up. Halifax will have begun to
rival Boston; and the great commercial depots
of western Canada will pour their exhaustless
treasures oceanward by the great inter.provin
cal lines of railway. The import trade OF
Canada was last year nearly eS, 000,O00-its
exports almost f6,0O0,000. The territory Of
which this province is the centre extends over
an area equal to more than onetenth part oil
the surface of the globe. Its resources-when
every allowance has been made for the sterile
and desert districts OF the North and West
may be said, without any figure of speech, to
be exhaustless. 1t is territory larger than
the United States by upward of O0.0O0 square
miles. Its population will be mainly Anglo
Saxon"

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CoLLEGEs-FU
MAN UNIVERSITY. In our last we made some
remarks on the impolicy of Southern men
sending their sous to Northern Colleges, on
account of the lamentable fanaticism Of Aboli.
ton which infects even the Professors and Stu
dents of those Colleges, and for o:her reasons.
Our Southern Institutions are, of course, free
from all such tant, and at the same time are
supplied with just and necessarily more enligh'
tened Professors, because the dark and other
in6drl making errors of the North, which re-
ject scripture, reason, history, sense, color, and
instinct, us guides, aud glories only in the phil
osophy of Aboliti"nism, have no place among
us. The objection which we make to South.
ern young men receiving their education at the
North, is not a rule to work both ways;- we
mean that there is no reason why enlightened
parents in the North should not desire their
children educated in the South We are pleas
ed to know the fact, that there are some studeots
of the Furmau University from New England
States. Among the Southern literary lnstitu'
tiuns, Furman University is destined to occu'
py a rank with the highest. 1t is now in
very Furnishing condition. with near two hum
dred students. So far as mere locality is con.
cerned GreenviIe in climate, beauty and con.
venienre, surpasses any other situation for a
College; and we are satisfied that the Profes.
sors of Furman University will compare we'll
with the ablest Of other Colleges.
In the ensuing mouth. there will be public
exercises in Furman University, and some
graduates in particular departments. We an.
ticipate for the community quite an entertain
ment, and the pleasure of greeting large MUM
Der of respectable visitors. We shall notice
this subject again. GreenviAe Mountaineer.

IMpREssMENT OF SEAMEN.-The British
Government has revived most di$graceful
practice-that Of forcing seamen who had been
taken prisoners Of war to serve in the Navy,
where thcs Of course are likely to be called
upon to fight against their own country. A
Russian lark, the Argo, from Matanzas bound
to an English f'ort, the master Of which unfor'
tunalely con6ded in the generosity of the
British Government or was not aware that
war had been declared. was captured while
going into port. The cargo. which was on
British account, was released, but the vessel
was delivered over to the prize commissioners.
The captain was set at liberty on parole, and
twelve of the crew were drafted on board her
Majesty's ship Crocodile. The barbarous Gus
tom of impressing prisoners of war was en-.
forced, it will be recolIected, in the last war
between England and this country, and many
an American was forced at the point of the
bayonet to fight against his own countrym-n.
Its revival is an evidence that, although the
principles of humanity may have become more
widely prevalent among individuals, civilized
war has been robbed of none Of its barbarious
features.-Boston Journal.

How TO CATCH THIEF.-One morning of
last week says the Clarksville (Va.) Tobacco
Plant, some Tobacco being missed from one of
our factories, the owner, after failing in all his
efforts to detect the thief and regain the to-
bacco, applied to Mr.. Henry w. Dunkey, an
ingenious citizen OF Carksville, to know if his
ingenuity could devise a plan to effect his OBJ
ject Mr.. Dunkey replied that he thought he
could, ard requested the names OF all susp-
cious characters who had access to the tobacco.
He then sat down with great deliberation and
wrote upon slips of paper the name of each
negro. They were then called up, and each
furnished with the slip bearing his own lame.
They were requested to place them in their
pockets and preserve them till the evening,
when they would be called for, and the thief
(they were told) would be found with the long
est slip of paper. Punctua to his engagement
Mr.. D. called in the evening, and all the pa.
pers were delivered up, when it was discovered
that one of them (iu possession Of Munford)
had been shortened about an inch. OF course,
the case was plain one; Mr.. Dunkley's de.
vice had succeeded perfectly, and Munford re.
ceived the merited reward. We presume the
tobacco was afterwards recovered.

DETROIT AND CINcINNArI "A company
is now being organized, under the name Of
the Urbana, Findlay and Detroit railroad
company, having for its object, to connect
the cities Of Cincinnati and Detroit by
a direct and continuous line of railroad
This arrangement has grown out Of the fact
that the Dayton and Michigan railroad com
pany has determined to terminate at Toledo.
and thus become subsidiary TO the interests
Of the Southern Michigan line. A glance at
the map will show that shorter line, not
exposed to the inconvenience8 of a draw
bridge at Toledo, can be selected; and it is
said that the Michigan Central company are
taking an interest in carrying forward the
work. Of course we care not how many
railroads center in this city; and there can
be no doubt but the opening Of track from
Cincinnati to Detroit direct, would be the
means of building up vast trade which
would be beneficial to both sections and the
immediate country.-[Cin. Com.

termined to call Mass Convention Of the
people of Ohio, without distinction Of party,
who are opposed to the enacmpnt by Com

tion will be held in the city of Columbus,
on
Wednesday, the 22d March inst.
The call will be prepared and issued pro-
badly in our next, and sent to all parts Of the
State, County conventions in every county
are recommended previous to that time to
embOdy public sentiment, and to make ar
rangements for sending as many delegates as
possible to the State Convention. We trust
the opponents of slavery extension will act
with vigor and in concert, and see to it that
every county in the State is fully represented
on that occasion. Let us forget that we are

this great question, at least. act like citizens
of Ohio. Let us meet this new agitation,
