There is evidently something in the wind, for

down and rebuilt, and every little defect is being
repaired; guns also being putin working order;
barracks thoroughly repaired and all is under the
supervision of staff of Royal Engineers from Eng
land.

in Quebec, and on Monday evening, when the news
was received of the result of the battle of Bull
Run, the pepulace were most jubilant over the
success of the rebels. There are but few in that
portion of Canada whose sympathy is with the
North. When that is the case, what are we to
exDect7
From Quebec to Toronto the all-absorbing topic
is the war between the North and South, and there
is no sympathy whatever for the North, but on the
contrary they wish that they may be defeated in |
every battle. All this, coupled with the active |
going on among military affairs, is sig
nihcant of highlands intention.
