The Remains of Sir John Franklin
and Party Found.
MoNrREAL. Ocf. 21


A dispatch from DR.. Rae, dated York
Factory, August 4th, has been received by
Sir George Samson, Governor of the Hud-
son Bay Territory, narrating the discove.
ry of the remains of Sir John Franklin
and his unfortunate company. They were
starved to death in the spring of 1850, to
the Northwest OF Fox River.
The Montreal Herald says: eve yes.
terday dispatched special messenger to
the Hudson Bay Company's house.
Through the kindness of the Governor, Sir
George Samson, we are enabled to lay
before our readers the following outlines
Of the dispatch received by him yesterday
from DR.. Rae, who has been absent on the
coast since the 1st Of June, 1858, and re-.
turned to York Factory on the 28th of Au.
gust last, from whence he forwarded letters
by express to Sir George Samson via Red
River settlement.
"After briefly noticing the result of his
own expedition. he proceeds to state that
from the Esquimaux he obtained certain
information of the lost expedition, who
starved to death after the loss OF their ships,
which were crushed by the ice while ma
king their way south to Great Fish River,
near the outlet on which the party died
leaving the accounts Of their sufferings in
their mutilated corses.
"Ths information, though not derived
from the Esquimaux who communicated
| with the whites, and who found the re-
mains, but from another bapd, who OBJ
tanned the details vira roce, it may be re
! lied on. No doubt is left of the truth o
the report, as the natives had in their pos
session various articles Of European man
ufacture which had been in possession o
the whites. Among these, several silver
spoons, forks, &C., on which was engraved
Sir John Franklin, X. G. b., while other.
have crests and initials identifying thu
owners as having belonged to the ill.fatet
expedition. Drawings Of some Of thes'
have been sent down. A fearful tragedy
must have occurred in the spring Of $50.

aThe Child is Father to the man.

We were not little interested in con-
versation we heard about dark, the other
evening, among some of our juveniles.--
The subject seemed to be the Know. Moth.
ings; and the question under debate was,
Nothing to deny that he was one, because
it was known to him by another name.
s.He denies he is one,'' said one boy,
q. cause he don't know it by that name.
He calls outsiders Know Nothings. lie
calls his concern the Star Spangled Ban
ner' Order. or suthin'. -
"Yes," says another boy, "but when
everybody. outside and inside. knows what
is meant. isn't it lying todeceiye?''
"Pshawl" says a cunning little codger,
s.supposin' 60 to the Hippodrome, and
mother asks me if | have been to the cir
Gus, and deny it, is that a lie? II mother
don't know Hippodrome from a circus,
she's Know-Nothing-tha.'s ALI" and
Young America threw back his head and
spit at the State House oupola.
This illustration was poser for a while.
Directly one conscientious little white
head spoke up
..If | had been to the Hippodrome, and
ma mother should think il was big cir
Gus. and she'd ask me, I'd out with it, and
tell her I'd been at what she called cir.
Gus. wouldn't sneak out of it by a
dodge. Dodgin's 5 meaner than lying righ,
out" .a. .
Z What further commentary was made
me heard not. But it is well for older
heads 10 ponder that conversation. II the
...child is father to the man." then it is
we'll for the men to learn something from
the simplicity and innocence OF youth.
The initiative faculty is strong upon the
plastic mind Of children. As in the French
Revolution, when the Jacobins were judg.
ing men in their secrettribunals, and send.
ing them to the guillotine to have their
he ads chopped off, SO the Parisian boys
followed suit by cutting off cats heads
and marching with them on pixies through
the streets Even the love Of blood be-
came so contagious that the boys revelled
in il. as their fathers did.
Whether the influence of the secret Or.
der, which teaches new code Of veracity,
will have tendency TO better morals or
not. we leave to the judgment of sober
citizens and Democrat.

Gazettes of Slaughter.

AS the war times seems TO be once more
in the ascendant, we have thought it not
amiss to recur to the great butcheries OF
other days.
In the battle OF Arbela, Alexander killed
600 men out of 100000. Yet he entirely
disorgsnized the forces Of Darius, and
overthrow the Persian nonarchy. m
The wars OF Hannibal were uncommon
lily bloody, even for that age. In the bat
tie OF Trebia, out Of $4,000 men he killed
5000, and made 1900 prisoners. At
the battle of Thrasymere, out of about
40, 900, he killed $4,000, and captured as
many more. But at Gamma he far out
stripped all his other murderous exploits.
Out OF 81 200 men, he slew, according TO
Polybius, 10000, and took 10000 on the
field, besides 1000 who were left to guard
the tents. Out of 1000 horse, it is said
only 70 escaped.
julius Caesar slew nearly all the fighting
men of the Helveltians in single battle.
only 2 or 5000 out Of go 900 escaping.
The slaughter of the Germans Under Ario.
vistus was almost as great. AT Alesia,
incomparably the greatest Of all his ex-
ploits, he slew. according 10 the most mod
crate computation. upwards Of 100000
men. At Pharsalia he killed or wounded
$4,000 Of Pompey's men, and made a.
900 prisoners. Pompey whole force was
but 1900, (45,oOO foot and 1000 horse)
so that he lost three.fourths of his army
At -Thapsus. Caesar slew $4,000 of his
enemies, and at Munda, the last OF his
battles, as many more. 1t was said oil
this mighty conqueror, even before the
battle Of Pharsalia, that he had been vic.
torous in 40 pitched battles, subdued 300
nations taken 800 towns or fortified places
made one million Of his enemies prison
ers, and slain as many fairly in the field
Pharsala and the civil war must have
swelled incidentally the number OF his
victims.
At the battle OF Bann ockburn. Robert
Bruce slew 1000 English cut Of lOO.O 900
At that Of Cressy, $4,000 French were
slain out of 10000. Ths biggest slaugh.
ter on record was that which was perpe.
trated in the battle of Ancyra. Bsjsze
had 100000. He afterwards formed q
pyramid of 10000 heads. which he cut of
| from the bodies of the slain.
In the battle OF Blenheim (or Hochstedt'
Marlborough killed, wounded, or drowned
900 French out Of $4,000. The latter
lost in the battle and pursuit, 10000 men
or two thirds Of their whole force.
AT the battle Of Austerlitz, Napoleon
Bon aparte killed. wounded. or drowned
$4,000 men. (according to the French
accounts and took 10000 prisoners ou

to say that Monroe county gave her usual
