A CANADIAN OPINION AS TO OUR MoBBINe
NEwsPAPERs.-The Toronto Globe says Mob
bing newspapers is not only exceedingly foolish
way of proceeding-it not only insures its own
punishment by encouraging race of journalists
who will never speak the truth except when likely
to please, but it does more than almost anything
else to lower the American people in the estima-
tion of all civilized nations. We care not what
the destroyed journals published. If REASONABLE
matter, then the writers ought to be punished in
the due course of law, and not by mob. But If
the matter was not reasonable, but only false or
vexatious, then its undisturbed publication ought
to have been permitted. Its suppression by vio-
ence proof that in Concord and Bangor at
least, freedom of opinion does not exist; and the
complacency with which the act generally appears
to be regarded would perhaps Justify us in believ-
ing that other and more extended localities are
equally unfortunate. Those who have anything to
lose in the United States cannot remember too
soon that when the mob's idea respecting the
rights of nIeun and fuunn get confused, mistakes
are likely to be made with property more valuable
than that usually found in newspaper Offices At
the present time, especially, the assumption of
power by illegally constituted tribunals ought to
be sternly checked, or the great Republic will be
resolved into chaos from which there is no
return, except by the purchase of order at the
expense of hberty.'-Er.

LONDON WEEKLY PAPERS ON THE WAR AND

his paragraph at the close of long article on the
kpu!se in Virginia Let it not be supposed for a
moment that we have any leaning to the South.
We abhor the vicious institution, to which they
cling. and which taints and Injuries everything in
the country; and what we most blame the North
for is it's readiness to wade through blood to recon-
meet itself with slave States, and lend itself again
to the capture of poor fugitive claiming the right
to their own bodies Ifthe North had been sincere
and honest regards slavery it would have reoiced
at the secession of the South delivering it from
any part in the abomimation. But it was ready
to make all concessions to satisfy the Southern
States slavery, and its sole tenacity has been
to the protective tariff To continue to profit by
this wrong to the South, and all commercial in
terests, it would gladly compound for all wrongs
to the blacks.

MILITARY CouRT.-The Military Court
House this morning-Judge Freese presid.
ing.
Judge Freese read the opinion of the Court
in the case of Bowen, Home & Co. and M.
l.. Hallowell against Wilmer Co.
The Court says that, in it's opinion, it has
jurisdiction in the case. The appointment of
military governor, was an implied suspen-
sion Of all courts, and Of State and municipal
laws, and tacit establishment of martial
law. 1t was the duty Of the Court to exer-
else it's power to secure the debts of loyal
citizens. In this case, the removal of y por-
ton Of the goods into the country, afFording,
as it did. evidence of confidence of the de-
feat Of the Federal Government was an evil
dence Of disloyalty, which, whether amour
ting to treason or not, the Court and Govern
ment could decide in the future.
The Court accordingly directed the ap.
pointment of a commission to assess the value
Of the goods, with view Of providing for
the payment of the debts sued for, in case
the appeal, which the defendants have taken
to the President Of the United States, shall
be dismissed.
To enable tbeappeal to be decided, further
proceedings in the case were stayed until
Friday next.
The other business Of the Curt was Of
little general interest.

A correspondent of the New York Times
says that the U. S. Government is rapidly

passed by the last Congress. On Saturday
attachments were served against lot of fur
niture belonging to a man named Shields,
who is a captain in the Confederate army, and
who owns a number Of houses aud lots in
Washington. This is to be special case,
and if the law is sustained, the government
will at once proceed to confscate the proper.

J, IAN application was made to Provost
Judge Freese, of Alexandra, on Saturday,
to have the government take possession of
the estate of the late John A. Washington,

A. Washington left for the Confederate ar

hands Of one Turner. Turner, however,
soon caught the Southern lever, and went
down to Occoquan creek to join the Confedc-
rates there. Nearly all the slaves were eth

The army captured all the horses and
cows. and only one able bodied man, slave,
named Gabriel johnson, was lett on the
