A National Change .

Two years ago we were nation of boosters
we Dragged all the year round, and on the 4th of
July multiplied our boasts by ten at least. The
world recognized our little weakness and it had
become a source of great deal of merrment
abroad and at home. But the humiliation of the
secession of some dozen States did US good the
struggle to shut the outer door upon the seceders
and to arrest the treason before it should hit the
Government in a vital part has convinced us of
what while we boasted it loudly before, we did
not believe that in our Government to-day there re-
sides strength that no other nation can afford
to trihe with. Before this war there was suspi-
con that our little navy must look ridiculous when
pitted against the monster fleets of England and
France. There was probably in every thoughtful
heart feeling that countries where war was both
a science of every day study and practiced art,
would make us feel in everynerve the first shock
of collision. There was no consent to the
thought that by any possibility we could be con-
quered but that we might be driven from the sea
for a season, and made to skulk from harbor to
harbor of our coast for awhile seemed by no means
impossible. Now who believes in any such pos
sibility? One such article in the London Times
as that paper amuses US with at least three times
a week, would two years ago have thrown w ash
ington into panic, and have knocked the bottom
out of half the fancy stocks of Wall street. War
with England was thing that nobody but mem
bers of Congress were at liberty speak of above
a breath. Now where is the man to be found
whose heart rises an inch in his throat because
the Times busters? A foreign war all good men
to-day would go far to avert but great many
good men have made up their minds that there
are things which are far more to be dreaded than
war with even England. The national brag is
ended, and in its place has come the easy conf
dence assured and tested strength sensation of
pOwer that ran endure uuch and strike tbp min
ute that endurance ceases to be virtuous. We
have tried our hand at war and feel that while
the rough game does not entce US we are equal
to it if it must come. We can afford to be humb-
Ter henceforth and probably shall be a good deal
more modest than while we were not quite sure
that modesty might not be construed to our dis
advantages. +. Bulletin.

CANADA TOLD TO RELY UPON HERSELF FOR
PRoTEcTIoN.-Although there is no probability
of hostilities between the United States and
Canada, the people of that province have been
told pretty emphatically that in such an event
they must not look to England for armies to sus-
tain their cause. This assurance says an Eastern
paper of July llth, comes from no less a per-
sonage than Lord Monck, the Governor-General
of the British North American possessions.
At dinner at Montreal on the I'd inst. his
Excellency stated that he was "obliged to dis
turb some of those transient feelings of conf
dence' which have hitherto pervaded the Prov
nce. Hinting at the possibility Of contest with
the United States, though entertaining no ex-
pectation of being =" Immediately attacked" he
declared that England cannot supply men TO
defend Canada and to save the Province" "The
strong armies" he added, "which must be ar
rayed against the enemy must come from the
Canadian people themselves" AS the Canadians
love the United States quite as much as they do
England, it is hardly likely that they will ever
have to raise armies to protect themselves against
the former.

SPURIOUS CoIN.-We were shown yesterday
by gentleman of this city, counterfeit So gold
piece, which was paid him by a customer, and
which he took readily, not perceivng that it was
spurious at the time. The deception is quite COM
plete, and the only way of detecting the cheat is
the absence of the peculiar, clear ring belonging
to genuine gold. The die in which it was cast
must have been perfect copy of the original e-
gal die for S. gold pieces minted at the u. S.
Mint in San Francisco, even to the most minute
hair stroke. The color is also good, having been
heavily washed with pure gold and the most re-
markable thing of all was its weight being exactly
that of genuine S. gold piece. From this it
will be perceived that the deception is as near
complete as it is possible to make it and our cit
izens should be on their guard closely, or they
are liaLle to have any quantity of this counterfeit
coin passed upon them at any time 1t requires
close scrutiny to detect the cheat The piece we
saw looked new and bright, and bears the date of
1861. Look out for S. pieces Oregonian.

EDS. STATESMAN II see an article in the Ore
gon Statesman of Aug. 1lth, which says Leland,
the Times correspondent, had been hung by
party Of yicimized miners, and that other parties
had been seized and hung after confessing that
they had been hired by traders to iRvent gold
storiesj and farther, he states that there is no
doubt but a stupendous system has been practiced
to keep up migration to the miEes,' and there
are no authenticated discoveries of rich mines
made this summer "-every word (which is false /:
not perversion of fact, but positively false. Mr.
Leland nor anybody else has been hung. The
idea that men have been hired to 1nueat gold sto-
ries, is an inUentiOn of the editors, or somebody
else that has a faculty for such things 1t may
be possible that some web-foot" who was too
lazy to work, has, while in the mnes run out of

ting somebody's property to his own use, and not
being very well skilled or dexterious in the mat

ing little piqued, has made use of Mr. Oregon

Statesman wishes to do bis patrons and readers a

SHAMEFUL.-News come to us that MAYOR
Gen. Nelson was killed by Gen. ]. c. Davis at
the Goult house in Louisville KY, few days
since the following particulars we take from the
New York Tines
LOUISVILLE, Monday, Sept. 20.
There are many conflicting accounts OF 'he
shooting of Gen. Nelson by Gen. Davis. About
week ago Nelson placed DAVIS IN command
of the Home Guard forces. AT night
Davis reported to Nelson the number Of
men working on the intrenchm ents and enrolled
for service. Nelson cursed him for not having
more. Davis replied that he was q general
officer and demanded the treatment OF gentle
man. Nelson, in an insulting manner, ordered
him 10 report at Cincinnati, and told him be
would order the Provost Marshal to eject him
from the city. This morning, Gov. Morton, Of
Indiana, and Gen. Nelson, were standing near
the desk in the Gault House, when Gen. Davis
approached, and requested Gov. Morton TO
witness a conversation between himself and
Gen. Nelson. He demanded of Nelson an
apology for the rude treatment he had received
last week. Nelson being it'll deaf asked
him to speak louder Davis again demanded
an apology. Nelson denounced him, and slap
ped him in the face. Davis stepped back,
cnched his fist and again demanded an apol-
ogy. Nelson slapped him in the face and
again denounced him as coward. Davis
turned away, procured a pistol from frienl,
and followed Nelson, who was going up stairs.
Davis told Nelson to defend himself, immedi-
ately thereon firing.
The ball penetrated his left breast, and Gen.
Nelson died in about twenty minutes.
