kIELED.-A resident of PainecourtviIe, Mr.
William Fremont, was killed on Thursday last
by gun-shot fired from the ranks of the Home
Mounted Guards So says Le Pio1aniey de rAs-
solt2stion.
He WAS Bou,TD TO Go.-The Planters' Banner.
st. Mary's Parish, says:
A short time since an old gentleman from Mis-
sissippi came down to New Orleans to enlist in one
OF the volunteer companies of that city but being
about sixty-fve years old, and having hair and
Whiskers indicating that his place is in council
rather than in the field, he could not be allowed
to enter any of the companies. He swore he could
whip any man belonging to any company to which
he applied, went to a barber and had his whiskers
shaved off and his hair dyed, Joined company dis
gused as young man, and has gone to Virginia
to fight for the South.
TINES IN ST. MARY.-Business in this parish re-
mains in statu quo. Planters are busy at home
attending to their agricultural duties our mer-
chants still continue to wait upon customers as
usual. Our servile population remains perfectly
quiet, happy, and contented, with plenty to eat,
drink and wear, and nothing to disturb their
thoughts by day, or dreams by night. They are,
pork is IS or SO per barrel, shoes 10 cents or
| 50 80 per pair. If they faithfully perform their
respective tasks, nothing is said to them, and they
have ample leisure to make from one to three dol
lars per week for themselves. This is the peculiar
institution which religious fanatcs-the descend
ants of the murderers of the Salem witches char
acterize as inhuman, diabolical, and against the
laws of God. [Attakapas Register.
For Fort ORANGE.-The st. Mary Volunteers
are to be stationed at Fort Orange, in this parish

from the citizens of Knoxville, who had assembled

after indulging in vein OF bitter and sarcastic

Views of n Canadian.

A friend at Yazoo City Mississippi, has favored
us with the following extract of letter from
Canada, which contains some good news, as well
as some sound views respecting the present diff
cultes between the North and South
You can readily understand that large number
of our people in Canada, comprising of course all
those who do not trouble themselves to think much
of the matter, are favoraby disposed towards the
North, but large number of the intelligent are
with the South. We see accounts from the Pen
sylvania papers of the departure of troops from
this country iu aid of the North, of muskets, etc.,
etc. bought or borrowed from the Canadian
thorites. Now, these statements are wholly false
and without even the foundation of truth. Again,
we hear that hundreds of negroes from Canada are
Offering their services soldiers to the Northern
Government. This is equally false although could
almost wish it were true, that might be relieved
| of their unwecome presence in Canada. InferriDg
from these statement that of those respecting
| Southern doings equally reliable, we place
| little confidence in what we hear through the
| Northern press.
The press of England is, generally speaking,
| with the South. The quarterly Reviews, which, as
| you are aware, exercise powerful influence upon
the minds of people in Eugland lean favorably to-
| wards the South an article in the Edinburgh
| Review for April entitled, Election of President
Lincoln and its consequences,n sets forth the case
| of the South in a favorable point of view. If you
| can get it-let me commend it to your perusal.
| There are many who think that there will be- no
| fighting With this opinion do not agree, nor do
| wish that it were to be So however unwilling
| Should be that any Of my dear friends were en-
| gagged in the struggle. But independence
| achieved without a struggle wouM be an acquisi-
| ton which would not be appreciated at its true
| value, and would be easily and carelessly parted
with. The North have established blockade of
the Southern ports, but have they considered
| the momentous questions which are involved.
Have they reflected that by this course they in
| terere much more with the interests of England
than with those of the South. The South will con-
tnue to produce, although there may be no imme-
| diate outlet for her productions; but England has
O,O90 operatives engaged in the cotton manu-
facture only. These may not be put in jeopardy of
their daily bread so long as the navy of England
is afoat. The value of her cotton manufactures is
at least 10000 900 Of pounds sterling, or 500 00o
00G annually. The capital embarked is over 90 900
0O9- of pounds sterling, or S275, 900. Surely
President Lincoln has been rash in this matter of
blockade, and I have serious apprehension OF col
Iison between England and the Northern States in
this matter The day may not be far distant when
the North may have an enemy to meet at the
North, as we'll as to the South--for Canada is to
man with England wherever she may direct the

Esq, of Accomac county, in company with sew
eral friends, ran the effective blockade of LincoIn's
fleet last Friday, by crossing the Chesapeake Bay,
even in sight of his vessels, in small boats 1t was
a daring act to be sure but then the people of
Accomac, having heard nothing from their friends
on the Western shore since the 7th inst, and being
entirely cut off from all intelligence from that
quarter, could stand it no longer. After a rough
time, they landed near Cape Henry Lighthouse.
No sooner were they on shore, however, than they
were pounced upon and arrested by the Princess
Anne cavalry and put in durance. On being car
ried to Norfolk they were recognized as friends,
since been to Richmond, and yesterday passed
through this city on his way home. II is not pru-
dent of course for us to mention further what the

BRUTAL OUTRAGE IN ALEXANDRIA.-The Peters
burg Express of the 3lst details some of the doings
of Ellsworth's Zouaves in Alexandria - among
which, we find the following. The heart sickens
at such atrocities:
One of these infamous villains was guilty of an
act which, in enormity, stands without parallel.
He was out under the pretense Of searching for
concealed weapons, and with this alleged object
in yiew entered the house Of female OF the high
est responsibility, but in moderate circumstances.
She was alone, with the exception of an infant,
which was but six days old, and lay sleeping by
the side of its mother. With any save demon,
would have protected her. but such considerations
did not weigh with the New York monster, and,
with the fury of savage, he gratifed his hellish
lusts. Our informant states that the screams of
his victim attracted the attention of passers by
and the villain was promptly arrested, carried be-
fore the commanding officer, and ordered to be
shot.

NEGROES CONTRABAND.-Gen B. B. Butler, who
called down upon himself written rebuke from
Gov. Andrews of Massachusetts, for having offered
to quel any slave insurrection and restore fugitive
negroes to their owners, has, it seems, " ckered P"
in his resolution. The pressure of the ant-slavery
spirit which has been thrown into this war was too
much for the valorous General, and he has felt
compelled to succumb. A few days ago three
negroes, the property of Col. Mallory, were found
strolling around the neighborhood of Fortress Mon
roe, and were taken in by the pickets. Colonel NJ.
made demand upon Gen. Butler for the slaves,
but the General stated that he had use for the
darkies, and under the circumstances, considered
them contraband of war. We see by the dispatches
printed this morning that about one hundred fugi-
tives arrived at the Fortress Monday evening and
were provided with rations and set to work.
Now let Gen. Butler come out in proclamation
declaring John Brown to have been true patriot
and Christian, and the measure of his fame will be
full. From being the candidate of the Secessonists
of Massachusetts for Governor last fall this would
seem TO be appropriate change in his sentiments
and lie would at once achieve the distinction Of
being the most adroit political acrobat Of the age.
