three fatal cases Of burning in this city in

Yesterday morning Il little boy three years
of age, named Oney Garrison, son Of James

mother Of the child arose snd kindled the fire
and was followed by the little fellow in his
night wrapper, who, unobserved By her, up
proaebed so near the stove that the edge of
his wrapper was drawn into the burning coals
aud in an instant he was enyeloped in flames.
The father seized the child and after. q long

were most terribly burned. Dr.: Dodge wss

In letter from Mr.. ADAMS, our Minister to

His Lordsbip said that the country had been
denudtd of troops for some time back, and it
ioas regarded only as a proper measure Of pre-
caution, in the present disordered condition of
things in the United States to restore part of
them. He said he did not knol0 but Iohat zoe
might do something. He in'imated, a little feel
ing of peasiness at the mission of Mr.. Ashmuu,
wi bOut any notice given to his purposes; and
he likewise said something about threat ut
tered by yourself to Lord Lyons to seize a
British vessel on. Lake Ontario without cere-
mopy. To this I replied, that ioa9much as I
BAD understood Mr.. Ashmun's 's mission han beeu
made known TO the Governor of Canada, IL did
not seem to me that it could be Of much con-
ceaIed Significance; and that as to the other
matter, if there was any reality in the threat,
it surely was an odd way of proceeding to fur
nish at once the warning in time to provide
against its execution.

TIE military movements which are immedi.
ate, but which are, we apprehend, but the pre-.
cursors Of larger and more important ones, are
stated upon very reliable authority to be as fol-
lows: The Sixtieth Rifles are to move up from
Quebec to Montreal, to take the placs Of the
BOrtJ-ssventh Regiment. The Forty seventh
Regiment will be moved up to London, the
Canadian Rifles, stationed here, going to the
western frontier. 1t has also bsen arranged to
strengthen the forces here by the addition of a
battery of artillery, as we mentioned some time
since, would be done. The Sixty second and
Sixty third Regiments, now stationed at Hall
fax, are TO move into Canada, taking the
overland route adopted during the troubles Of
1885. .s.
We believe we are also correct in stating
that Sir +. Williams has advised the immedi-
ate raising Of eight regiments of militia,
which will be brought forward as rapidly as
possible, In addition to this tho military
corps under Major Jackson, at Kingston, aud
Major Shanly, in London, are to DO called out
for service, and thus their present eficieucy so
far perfected as to render them q very impor-
tant arm Of the service. % ..
A service of Sappers and Miner are already
on their way to Canada, aud will be fest em
ployed in erecting batteries at Toronto, to which
place lsrge quantities of military stores, guas,
&C., have already been direc!ed.
[Trom the London &C. W. PrototypeI

Mrs. PARTINGToN AND THE MILITARY
CRoP.-A shadow passed our window, the
door opened, and looking up we saw the
form of Mrs. Partington before us. 'T've
just dropped in" she said. Dropped in
and she weighs one hundred and fifty if she
does an ounce. She held out her snutf-box,
as she said, "Good morning" filled with
Rhodes Delectable. Ike was by her side
and before we had time to prevent it he had
both arms stuck to the fly-paper on the desk
before us. '.pve just dropped in to ask"
she said, as we looked up inquiringly,
'what sort of q crop the cessatiOnists will
be likely to get from planting cannon,
that see something about in the papers
| don't believe it will come up"
"Perhaps it may" we said, favoring the
idea, "as we see many sprouts about in uni
form that are evidently sons of guns, and
if as Mr.. Fields has said, soldiers sire
and grandsire may be sword, why not Q
gun have its descendants ?" I
"Maybe so" she said, Frightening up,
''maybe so, it isn't the most unlikely thing
that never came to pass, and that maybe
why guns wear breeches. declare never
thought of that before" ...

In the late debate in the House of Repre-

Of ST. Louis, excluding negro fugidves from

"Mr. Fouke, (opp y of Illinois, Having

state that the soldiers and officers there looked
upon the order as most wise and salu ary. The

is wholly untrue, myself vas misled by false
TepTesen ,atiOns by q slave on the 7th Of No

Every word said about these blacks is untrue
as to their fidelity and loyalty. state facts

order, I-Iepeat WhSt has been said by the
gentleman Mr.. Blair,) that the blacks did
CONS to pairo and into the camp to sell pro

Important Army Order-Roguiatlon of the
Recruiting Service.
Orders have been received at the Adiu-
tant-General's Office from the Secretary Of
Wsr, directing, .. ..
First: That no more regiments, batteries
or independent companies will be raised by
the Governors of States, except upon the
special requisition of the War Department.
Those now forming in the various States will
be completed dnder the direction of the re.
spective Governors thereof unless it be
deemed more advantageous to the service to
assign the men already raised to the regi-
ments and batteries of independent coulpa-
nies now in the field, to fill up their organi-
cations to the maximum standard prescribed
by law.
Second: The recruiting service in the
various States, for the volunteer forces al
ready in the service, and for those that may
hereafter be received, is placed under the
charge of general superintendent for those
States respectively, with general depots for
the collection and instruction of recruits.
The Superintendent from Ohio is Major N. q.
G. McRae, US. A, at Camp Chase, Colum-
bus.
The superintendents detailed will take
charge of the recruiting service in the va
rious States to which they are assigned on
the lst day of January, 1862.
They will take post at their general depots,
which will be under their immediate com
mand. The Superintendent for New York
will take pest at Albany.
Upon the requisition of the Superiutend
ents, suitable number of volunteer officers,
non commissioned officers and privates will
be detailed for duty in the staff departments
and as drill masters at the respective depots.
A disbarsing officer of the fund, for collect.
ing, drilling and organizing volunteers, will
be assigned to each depot, and will be under
the direction of the Superintendent.
The volunteer officers now on recruiting
service will be relieved on the irst of Janu.
ary next and cent to join their regiments,
unless directed to report to the Superintend-
ents of their respective States. a
After that time volunteers will be mus.
tered for pay upon the same form of rolls as
those used for the regular army.
Commanding officers of volunteer regi-
ments numbering less than the maximum
for organization fixed by law, will immedi-
ately report to the A6jutant Generals office,
at Washington, the present state of their
commands, in order that the Governors OF
the several States may be called upon to fill
up their respective regiments to the standard
prescribed. t.r ,.st
