Princely Lfberality.

When the Prince of Wales was in Cana
da last October, a lady, Mrs. Secord, en-
deavored to obtain access to his presence,
for the purpose of setting forth claim to
consideration, for having, during the war OF
1872, carried intelligence in the night to the
officer commanding a certain position on
the frontier, of some movements of the enc
my, thus leading to the prevention of sur.
prise, and probably blOodshed and defeat.
She met with repulse, however, on every
occasion on which she endeavored to urge
her plea, and at Qaeenston Heights, when
the royal party were there, was showed
roughly off the platform. Her case, how
ever, was subsequently mentioned by a gen.
tleman who had been introduced to the
Duke of New Castle, and who, aware OF
the Dukes kindness and urbanity, addressed
him on the subject, setting forth the partic-
ulars OF the service she had performed, and
requested that something might be done on
her behalf. The Duke at once replied that
the case would be submitted to His Royal
Highness Immediately on their arrival in
England. This was accordingly done, and
true to the instincts of his nature, the Prince
has sent Mrs. Secord the handsome present
of $500 for the heroism and patriotism she
displayed upon the occasion referred to, thus
adding another feather" to the plume which
is the emblem OF his royal position, and an
other obligation to gratitude and loyalty on
the part OF the SONS and daughters of Cana
da.-Sarnia &c. Wy Observer.

BAD ARRANGEMENT OF MA1Ls.-It was
announced a short time since that on the
18th inst, Mr.. Burbank would run daily
through mail from St. Paul to St. Cloud,
instead of starting from St. Paul in the
afternoon and allowing it to remain over
one night at st. Anthony. This was done
at the suggestion of the contractor, who
offered to do it without additional expense
to the department. Yesterday, however,
the order that had been given was counter,
manded, and the up country mail will lie
over one night at st. Anthony, to the great
Inconvenience of the people residing in the
towns above. In these times when every
citizen is on the qui vive for news, this un>
necessary delay is particularly annoying,
and it is difficult to imagine any reason for
it. The change was probably effected by
means OF Misrepresentation to the depart
ment from some quarter or other. The
people of the upper country will have to
take measures to correct this blunder.
There is no good reason why the st. Paul
mail should not 60 through to st. Cloud in
one day especially as no extra expense is
incurred.

We regret to see in the Press, state
ment that an agent of JEFF. Davis is recruit.
ing in this city. We believe it is entirely
without foundation. We have incidentally
learned that several individuals, not the
most disposed to bear, the brunt of the war
themselves, are busily engaged in sporting
those who may express sentiments in oppo-
sition to their own. We need not say how
injurious, how wrong, how reprehensible is
this course. He is the worst enemy of his
country and of the community who in times
like these will let loose his passions to play
either upon the credulity or the bad temper
of those who can be easily affected by every
idle rumor, every base insinuation, and every
malignant accusation, they may hear. Peo-
pie should not only put restraint upon their
language nowadays, but subject everything
they hear to careful and dispassionate con-
sideration, before taking it for granted that
everything they hear is true.

PATRIOTIC DEMoNsTRATIoNs.--Th fervid
patriotism exhibited in other quarters of
the country, as shown in the dispatches
published yesterday, thoroughly aroused our
citizens. The star-spangled banner-the
'Flag of the free hearts hope and home!
By angel hands to valor given,"
was flung to THEY'VE were about to say
d" breeze')-hurricane, from all quarters of
the city. The first we noticed was on the
Douglas and johnson pole in upper town,
and then on the engine houses and public
buildings, the Pioneer Guard armory, &c.
Towards night they hung from the windows
and roofs of large number of stores and
residences. The supply of.fags finally gave
out, but orders were given by private citi-
zens for the manufacture OF many more.
1t was noticed that the majority of those
flags were hung out by our. strongest DEM
ocrats. The opposition, however well dis
posed they might have been, were not the
possessors of quite 80 large a supply OF
bunting. The sight of the old flag made
many hearts thrill and some eyes to weep,
but how many it induced to enlist for its
defence, we have no means of knowing
we hope large number.

A MAYOR AFLoAT.-We regret to learn
that the Mayor of West st. Paul came
very near being carried down the river the
other day, much against his will. He took
a skiff Dunwell Castle and made trip to
terra Jfrnaa, and landed on the high plateau
in the rear of the city. After limbering
his legs by promenade, and feasting bis
paternal eyes on the glorious water privi-
leges of his infant city he attempted to re.
turn, but the current and wind ere so strong
that the boat was forced far below the city.
He struggled manfully at the oars, but to
no purpose, and finally brought up against
stump, and Frustrating himself in the
bow OF the boat he clasped the stump in his
arms, and remained in that condition until
he was discovered and relieved by another
boat.

Trade WITH ST. LoUIs.-We learn from
officers of boats that shippers along the
river refuse to ship grain or provisions to
st. Louis. The Hawk Eye State towed
up several barges with the intention OF
loading them for down trip, but could not
engage bushel Of grain. The anomalous
condition of Missouri lin regard to ma
t'onal q affairs has given sudden check
to business in ST.. Louis. The wheels of
trade stopped Immediately on the reception
Of the war news. Everything was COM
pletely Frustrated, and it is considered
doubtful whether the boats will con-
tinue to run much longer. At any rate,
nothing will be sent down unless paid for
in advance. III .era5

OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG.
BY GEORGE LUNT.

Our Country, right or wrong!
What manly heart can doubt
That thus should swell the patriots song.
Thus ring the patriots shout?
Be but the foe arrayed,
And wars wild trumpet blown,
Cold were the heart that hath not made
His Country's cause his own! VS.
Where'er that flag unrolled
Woos the saluting breeze,
Streams Ger the plain its starry fold,
Or floats on stormy seas,
All dearest thoughts are there,
All that make life divine d
Home, faith, the brave, the true, the fair,
Cling to the flowing sign!
Oh |! is this thought dream?
No by the gallant dead
Who sleep by river. lake or stream,
Or deep in oceans bed;
BY every glorious name,
By every sacred song,
By all we know or love of fame.
Our Country, right or ,orong!

Saltwater Messenger of Tuesday says:
The river and lake continue to rise with un-
usual rapidity, with every prospect of one of
the greatest floods ever known on the St.CrOix.
The water is now within twenty inches of the
great food two years ago, with every indica-
ton that it will get up to the high water mark
of 1850.
The denizens on the east side of Main street
were much surprised when getting up yester-
day morning in finding their cellars flooded
with from one to three feet of water. That
magnificent improvement, Stimson Alley,
kept the water outside the corporate limits un.

embankment, the whole of the vacant ground
between Main street and the Alley was soon

sustained by persons in that locality.
