90 of comnissary stores fell into the hands of
the rebels The captain OF the propeller and

feet OF water We waited about two hours
and a halt before we got communication with

loaded her with an assorted cargo of tents,

opinion they had plenty Of time from our ar
rival TO get off the enemy's boats, and to have
got everything on shore from the Fanny if
sufficient boats had been employed in the
transportation; SO that we could have destroy

The InvisIbIe ProxIdense.

One of Henry Ward Beecher's last sermons
is on the subject OF confidence and patience
in God patience that, after ye have done
the will of God, ye might receive the prom
ise." The sermon closes with the following g
historical passage - q. .,ra.7 a
1.-THE soldier seldom sees the general
Weilington's soldiers did not see him once
where they fought twenty battles. And often
times when everything seems to the soldiers
to be fast Verging toward triumphant success,
the woFd comes from the general, ''RetreatP'
and they not seeing the reason for their with
drawal, think it folly, aud feel humbled by it.
Just as Sir. John Moore was apparently about
to take Madrid, Napoleon came upon him
like raging lion and the moment be saw
the French army in reverse motion, be be-
gan to retreat. When he almost achieved
glorious victory, the soldiers were ordered as
it seemed to them, to make an ignOminOus
retreat and they were marched back, day and
night discouraged and half demOralized, just
in time TO escape into their ships before NaTo-
leon came up with an overwhelming force.
Moore saw the danger, but they did not. It
was consummste stroke, and it saved Spain.
But not one in hundre3 Of thesoldiers knew
what it was, The general and the supeFior
officers did, though

Pop1Iario6 q oaaada.

The Toronto Globe publishes an estimate
of the population Of the two Csnadss, accord
ing to the new census. 1t says that the pop
ulatiOn of Upper Canada in 1852, according
to the census taken in that year, was $4,000.
We have seen that 4s2, 900 of that number
have increased to 647, 800. The returns yet
to come in will shsw the increase there has
been on the remaining $4,000. The in
crease in the population Of Lower Canada
excluding Montreal and Quebec, suppOsing it
to:be rs per cent, would be l95,ooO, which,
added to the $500 gained by Quebec and
Montreal, would make total gain for Lower
Canada of 24s, 800, and its present population
about I, 10000. On the other hand, if the
ratio Of,narease for Upper Canada has been
60 per cent, as seems probable from the re-
turns thus far published, its present popula-
ton would be about !, $40, ,OOO-preponderat-
ing over that of Lower Canada by ss0,0oo.-

A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat
writes of the Senatorial contest in the new
State:
Hon. Fred. P. Stanton and s. S. Jones, Esq,
of Lawrence, addressed the people of this
place last evening on the great questions Of
the day. The FIRST named gentleman is a can
didate for seat in the United States Senate,
and the latter wishes to fill vacancy in the
State Legislature from this district. The con
test for Senatorial honors is so closely CON
tested that the filling of vacancies is consider
ed by rival candidates as of vital importancl !.
Parternerships are said to have been formed
among distinguished politicians for this race,
viz: between Gen. Lane and Marcus J. Par
rott, and between Hon. Fred. P. Stanton and
Gen Pomeroy, the individual members Of
each firm combining their separate capital
of 20 or 25 members, and relying on outside
pressure and fOrtultous circumstances for a
few more enough for an election.

One Of the staples Of the Western Reserve
is its cheese, and the mark "W. R." upon the
cheese boxes is sufficient guarantee Of its ex-
csllence. In years past great quantities Of
cheese have been shipped to the South, and
our farmers have realized handsome income
from their southern customers. But the Sc
ceding States do not appreciate their bless
ings, and 50 they have, in the new tariff,
placed heavy import duties in the articles
that they have obtained mostly from Ohio.

There was an efecting scene at San Anto-
MO, Texas, as the United States troops march
ed out of the city, which is thus described by
the Alamo Express:
A lGrge eoncourse Of citizens had collected
to bid the troops of war goUd-by, and when
the two companies, under the command of
Major Smith and Captain King, marched out
with colors flying and bands playing the ma
tional airs, and the old bullet-riddled and
war-stained banner of the sth Regiment float
ing N the breeze, there was most profound
sensation among the people; strong men
wept We have never seen SO much feeling
evinced on any occasion. The epeople cheered
the troops all along the streets, and many fol-
lowed them to the head of the San Pedro,
where they encamped.

FUGITIvE SLAVES IN CANADA.-It is esti-
mated that there are a, 900 fugitives slaves
in Canada from the United States. The ne
grOes are a gregarious race, and they are dis
posed to settle in villages and towns, and to
cling together. The 1000 fugitives in Tor
onto wash linen, make shirts, are blaeksmiths,
bricklayers, carpenters, shOemakers, painters,
& C. There are six groccrs in town, and there
is one cOlored physician. One fugitive slave
is worth 100000. But the headquarters of
the negro race in Canada is Chatham-On
the Thames. OF its population of 5000, 1000
are colored.
