 IL would be amusing, if q person had time, to collate the contradictions and qualifications of the North during the war. The absurdity of refusing to recognize us as bellgere its, yet ac knowledgng the ranks of our military officers; the refusnal to acknowledge an exchange of prisoners, yet the release of ours when we re- leased theirs; the declaration that the ports Of the South are theirs and then the pretended estab- ment of blockade as of the ports of all enemy; and the claiming jurisdiction over a country where one of their military or ci1 officers dare not show his face.

Sometime ago two men enlisted in a Canada regiment at Toronto. IL appears they were Yankee spies, and afier they had gained a,l tue information they could and made drawings of all the Qualifications they attempted to escape to Rochester, New York. They were watched by negro who pursued them in a boat and oqernlaled them. Upon their refusal to return, the darkey gave each inc contents or a barrel of double -barreled gun, loaded with buckshot, and took them back to Canada.

When the news reached the United States, great was the rejoicing. When Messrs, Mason, Sidell, Eustes and Macfarland went on board the Rinaldo, it was during a severe storm, and the northern papers were elated at the idea of the vessel having fonndered in the storp.-r Yet the people guilty of these things, have .c- e years had . missionary society and have pre- tended to send out preachers and others to con vert the savages
