From the Boston Traveller, Auq 90
There has been much excitement in Haverbill
Mass, the last few weeks, in regard to the Essex
county Democrat, weekly paper, which has pub
lished articles in favor of secession. Mr. Ambrose
l.. kimball, the offending editor, was recently an
officer In the Boston custom house, and was re-
moved on the first of May. Some of his political
friends, fearing mischief were at his house last
night and were armed. Among them we're George
johnson, of Bradford who was elected rs a Doug-
las man to the Charleston Convention. His pistol
was taken from him. DIR. j. C. Howe a secession
st, was injured By those who wrested his arms from
him. The mob entered Mr. KimbalPs house. and
after dlsarming him and his party, took him 10 the
area in front of the Eagle hotel He asked To SEQ
Mr.. William Brown, the proprietor of the hotel
who came out and had an interview with him
We learn that Mr.. Brown told him he thought the
mob would release him if he made due acknow-
iedgment OF his errors and promised better in fu-
ture. Mr.. ktmball declined this proposal, and was
ordered to remove his clothes, which he did, ex-
cept his drawers
The offending editor was tarred and featbered
and mounted on pole, after the manner that
some OF the Tories were served during the Reyolu
ton. He was first convened to the street in front
OF his office, where an American flag was procured
and he was made to greet the national ensign with
cheers. Being second time placed astride the
pole, he was carried to he bridge the Merri-
mac River, made to walk across to Bradford, again
mounted and taken to the residence of George
johnson. This gentleman ab -ent, and Mr..
Kimball was returned to Haverhil. He now ex-
pressed regret for his against the Union,
and was made to knee down, and swear that he
would never again write against the Free States,
or publish articles in favor of secession or rebellion.
These proceedings occupied considerable time,
AMI the participants were so numerous aud deter
Dined that the local authorities culd not prevent
the mob and the friends of NJ Kimbell were SO
few in number that they ere wholly at the mercy
of their opponents. The Office of the secession pa
per was not molested, neither was the property of
any OF it's prominent supporters injured.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS IN CANADA.
1t is understood that the English Government are
inaugursing active for the defence of the
Canadian frontier. No naval armament is conten-
plated, but various points on the Lake coast will
be fortified Admiral Bay held noted as having been
heretofore engaged in the survey of the Lakes and
the river St. Lawrence, will shortly arrive iu
Canada, and will determine the location of the
toruhcations. Preliminary surveys are already IN
progress, under Col. Whiting ham, of the Royal
Engineers, Captain ColliDson (who was one of the
party in search of Sir John Frankn), and Hon.
ii. II. Kiisby, of the Board of Canadian Public
Works, assisted by Government Engineers WISE
and Turner. All of the harbOrs from Sault Ste
Mario to Amhersburg, have already been visited,
and it is believed that Ronde d'Eau in the county
of Kent, Upper Canada, will be prepared as naval
rendezvous. At this point, directly north of Cieve-
land, there is an excellent harbor. The troops in
the garrison at Toronto have been greatly aug
mented, and either Toronto, Chatham, or London
will be designated as the headquarters of the
Western Province.-Cor. Phija Inquirer.
SECESSION IN CALroRNIA.-The Marysville Er-
press announces that John Il. Mcconnell, the seces
sion candidate for Governor, will speak in this
city to night.
Speaking of report that was said to have been
started by secessionists from Sacramento, that Gen.
Patterson was defeated, the Herald adds
The exultiug language of the secessionists who
linger in our midst, will not fail to show to
our people, what has long been entertained as a
suspicion, that there are men among us who desire
the success OF the JEFF. Davis rebels and the ulti-
mate organization of Pacific republic.-Sa" Fran
