HeoCy Loss By Canadian Spectators IN
Grain and Floan The Toronto Globe, after
stating that there were rumors Of the failure
of three or four of the boldest operators in
-four and grain in Montreal, proceeds to give
some interesting particulars. 1t states that
one hundred thousand barrels of -four were
bought last February in Montreal for deliv-
cry in May and June at S6a6 Is per barrel,
and that buyers have lost from S2 to 2 25 per
barrel. The loss, it is said, has been equally
great in wheat, and the depreciation will
cause loss to Montreal alone of upwards of
$500, 900. Besides this, it is estimated that
the miiieEs of Upper Canada have lost. from
the same cause, upwards of one million dol
lars.

THE WAR NEWS.

The disastrous tidings received here on
Monday last of great battle having been
fought in the neighborhood of Manassas
Junction, in which our troops fell into an
unexplained panic and rctreated in shame
full disorder, cast a deep gloom over our
community, though, so far as we know,
none of our soldiers from this county were
engaged in the awful conflict. But many
ircsides in our country have been render
cI dcsolatc, many hearts scared, and many
widows and orphans plunged into deep dis
trcsS 10y the stern realities Of civil war fore
ed on our government by band Of fore
sworn traitors who would rejoice in the
ruin of our free Institutions and the sub
version Of our government.
Speculation AS to the result is now idle,
though the ,lG truth must come home to
all rcfcctnr men, that after the first con
fict at Bells run and the discovery that
the roads and woods were lined with mask
ed batteries it was mixing the result of a
great contest the cast of a die, by attempt
ing to storm those batteries. Had our
troops retired to Centreville, dug entrench-
mcnts, erected batteries, and awaited rein
torccments until their number would have
justified a movement in two or three heavy

the enemy could have been hemmed in or
compelled to risk battle on u fair field
Instead of this being the condition Of af-
fairs, it appears that the rebel troops out
numbered ours, and had the advantage of
fighting under the Sheltcrof fentrenchments,
where one man is equal to at least three.
The dilatory movements of General Pat
terson's column, whether by superior or
ders or his own, seem to have contributed
to this result, by suffering Johnston for

bay As it was, it really appeared as il
our commanders were afraid of engaging
in battle ior fear they might kill some of
the enemy! &fsE gfE
The recent disaster oughtnow to teach
our government that the time for leniency Of
every description has passed away. Wash
in9ton ought at once to be rid of the spies
and political harlots who infestzsGongress
and the departments, and summary meas
ures adopted toachecas the insidious wiles
OF northern sympathizers with treason, eth
er BY the passage of temporary sedition
law, or placing the whole country under
martial law. 1t is an extraordinary state
Of affairs, and to meet it ertyaordtnary
measures MUST be adopted, or The worst
may we'll be apprehended. a

1t will be seen that President Davis, in his mes
sage recommends that the Confederate government
shall give aid in constructing the 'Danville connec
ton" as it is called, so as to have another through
route for the transportation of troops, &c. While
We DO not concede to the Confederate government
the right to engage in works of internal improve
ment in the States, we are nevertheless gratified
that the Presidents attention has been directed TO
this important work. 1t ought to be commenced
and completed, and that speedily and there ought
to be connection between the Railroads of this
State and the coal and iron region in Chatham.

8. We object, because it is an: ungenerous and
ungrateful rsasctiou upon GEN HILL and it puts in
jeopardy the entire Northern department Of or
coast which demands the immediate supervision
of a General Of knoUn and tried ability. When
Gen. Gwinn's term expired, because OF the unfair
and groundless prejodices against that injured man.
hewas not re,appointed. The people Of the East,
we are told, asked for the appointment Of man of
no less repute than Gen. BrartOn Bragg He could
not be spared, and Cen IIil'of Great Bethel memo
ry was sent. The people were entirely satisfied
they began to breathe freely, and Gen. Hills energy
and spirit soon put every thing in motion. But that
excellent and able officer happened to disturb some
body, when at once it is made the cause of grave
complaint ard if rumor be true, he is removed TO
make place for whom2 Why, General Lawrence
o'Brien Branchl If this rumor be true it ought
to mantle the cheeks Of every concerned in this
matter with the deepest shame. What! Gen. HILL
whose praises have been in every mouth in this
State who filled the land with hosannas for our good
old State and covered her with glory at Bethel, he
set aside, for ore indscreton or what not to make
place for political Brigadier? o shame where is
thy blush
But what is to become of the coast? We hear it
said, there is no danger there nowg And is that
the reason Gen. Branch is sent? Why send any
one? Why not leave defences to the brave off,
GERS and soldiers already there2 And who knows?
But the question is, if we do need or shall need
Brgadier General there, We ask in all candor and
sincerity of every honest man in North-Carolina,
is Gen. L. OBJ. Branch the man?
P. S. Since writing the above we learn verbally
that Gen. Hill has been placed in command of Gen.
Holmes brigade on the Potomac, Gen. Holmes hav-
ing been made Major General. 1t is possible,
therefore, that Gen. Hills removal from the coast
did not grow out of any supposed dissatisfaction
with him in the Eastern Counties. His place there
however, should have been supplied by an expe-
rienced officer.
