Canada ana tho United stutea.
From the TOsOuss Leader, Dec.

The New York Times says truly that the military
movements undertaken in Canada are another
symptom Of q growing alienation between the
1.-TWO countries The comments Of our contempo-
rsry, appended to the letter Of ts Quebec CORES
pondent, not calculated 10 arrest this feeling
or to develop Canadian faith in the frsndliness Of
our Northern neighbours. If those who profess to
rebuke mischiefmsksrs themselves seize every oc-
easisn to represent and rdieule all that pertains to
Canada, the certainty is that the alienation com
planned of will go on at an accelerated pace. and
that the mutual distrust and dislike" viii be great
er than ever.
The sneers Of the New York journalist, the gal.
lsnt and heroic Williams and his compesrs, come
with bHd grace from 8 country whose grand
army" has fsr months been eO0ped within
the capital by the Southern forces, and whose
generals and brigadier generals and all sorts Of
generals, are the dr0llest compound Of merit and
impesture ever known in civilized country.
Equally Unseemingly are the attscks OF our cstem-
porsTy upon the gsllantry Of the Canadian militia
a remembrance Of the past, if no higher motive,
shou Id have taught the Times the virtue of silence
upon this subject. The despised militia Of Canada
once succeeded in driving American invaders. de-
featsd and humilisted. from British soil and they
will not shrink from their task il duty again calls
them into service. The fleet racers Of Bull Run
should be amongst the Last to depreciats British
pluck or soldierly capacity.
The Times adopts the notion Of its Quebec friends
that the New York Herald is the main promoter Of
mischief between The two countries. A certain
class Of the Northern people sssiduously endeavOr
70 produce the same impression. But the version
of the affair is inadmissibe. In the first place. the
lines is the original mischiefm SO far back
as May il did its feeble utmost TO excite national
animosIty abusing the course Of the British Gov
ernment and EanderiHg to the neanest passions Of
the New York mob. As matters stand, we regard
the Herald as sole exponent Of the opinion which
rules in the Northern States. One fscs alone estab
fishes this. The Head Is prOspeIng whilst the
Times, Tribune and World are langUishing beyond
measure. It's circulation is larger than ever, and
lf the four papers we have named, 1t Is the only
me whose advertising retains It's old dimensions.
from this circumstance we draw no unreasOnaols
inference. The Herald Is EntiSBritish and anti Can
.dian but in assuming this position, it gives form
md expression to the dominant sntipathies Of the
,eople amongst whom it circDlates.

The Late Pierce RutIer Anderson.

Though we have reason TO reJ0ice at the brilliant
and glorious triumph Of our arms upon the Ale
ghany Mountain, in the action Of last Friday, we
have yet to the loss Of some of the most gal
ant spirits that belonged to the Confederate serTcs
As usual and unavoidable in conflicts Of the kind ,
the cypress is interviewer with the laurel Among
thOse reported slain, his numerous RCQuaintances
throughout the COniederscy viii be grieVed TO see
the name of Pierce Batler Anderson, Captain Of
Artillery, 8 veteran soldier, an accomplished gen.
tlemsn and true patriot
Captain Anderson I've Epply TO him the title
which he held in this war; is q well known citizen
Of Tennessee. He was military man by education,
put he appeared ia the field as q soldier only when
MS country was involved in war. He entered the
Mexican war as volunteer, and wss subsequently
appointed TO an ofiee (LieutenaEt Colonel, we be-
heye,) in one of the Tennessee Regiments, in which
position be became distinguished for gsllsntry and
efficiency.
At the commencement Of the present war Cap
tain Anderson declared that he was q volunteer
during its continuance, during his own continu~
ance on earth. Accordingly he hsstened to Yir-
yinia, IN his old character of j soldier. On his
arrival at LynChburg, he accepted the command Of
the Lee Battery, which was rendered to him ia q
nest fattering manner.
The courage and sslf-pOssessiOn which he eXhib-
ed in the disaster which befell General Garnett's
command, were acknowledged BY all who witnessed
his conduct. .
We have no oficisl report Of the battle Of Ale
ghany Mountain, but enough is known TO warrant
The announcement that Pierce Butler Anderson
there sealed his devotion TO his native Southern
country BY his life's blood. HOnored be the mem~
ory of the brave and good man Richmond En-

tFOrt Sumter.

The correspondence in respect 70 Fort Sumter
has been published by authority Of the Legislature
of South Carolina. It confirms what has already
been published in respect to the duplIcIty used BY
the enemy. The committee which reported it put
the following preface to it and it embOdes briefly
what it proves
The committee are Of opinion that these papers
form valuable contribution to the history of the
present revolution They prove the earnest desire
of South CarOlins to avoid the efusiOn of blood
and the calamity of war in exercising her cOnstitI-
tional right to secede from the Union. They alsO
show the deliberate intention Of the Government
at Washington to preeipitate into revolution and
war, BY determining to sacrifice Fort Sumter and
the small NUMBER of troops BY which il was gar
riEOned.
The fsn Of Fort Sumter, and the forbearsncs Of
our authorities IN allowing the exhausted and cOn>
quered defenders to come out of their stronghold
with the hOnOrs of war the first page in the his
tory of this senseless and wicked war In order to
perpetuate all the facts, and place in strong
trast the generosity Of the governments Of the Con-
federate States and the dupieiy of the government
OF the United States, the committee recommend
that the documents be printed in the journal Of the
HOuse for this day.
The following is the closing paragraph Of the
letter Of Maj9r Anderson, protesting sgsinst the
plan of Capt Fox to relieve the fort Il is dated
April 8:
We shall strive to do our duty, though frankly
say my heart is not this var which see is 10 be
