THE CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
TREATY.

Some enthusiastic admirers Of the Canadian
Reciprocity Treaty, zee in it the commence.
ment Of the application Of liberal commercial
principles, which may, before long, terminate
in customs connection between the United
States and Canada after the pattern Of the
German Zolverein. The two things are so
unlike, that tho one has as little chance Of
growing and developing into the other, as the
potato has to become an orange by time and
cultivation.
The principle Of the Zolvcricn, is free trade
in everything between the parties to II, with a
consolidated collection and an equitable divis
ion of uniform tariff of duties against oil out.
sideparties. The principle Of the Canadian Reel
procity Treaty, Is free trade in certain specified
articles only, in the production Of nearly all Of
which, Canada has such decided advantages as
to command our markets. Nor does 1t con-
template any uniform tariff ss against foreign
nations, SO far US to put production upon an
equal footing, 10 that respect, in Canada and
in the United States.
Necessities resulting from civil war will COM
pei this country to resort to the most sweeping
and comprehensive system Of taxation which
our Legislators can devise. This is new fact,
which has arisen since this treaty was entered
into, and bears mort materially upon the ques-
tion Of farther continuing 1t. Taxation forms q
part Of the cost OF production, aud to the old dis
advantages Of free trade with Canada in list Of
articles, in the production Of which that prov
ince has natural facilities superior to our own,
is now to be added to the new disadvantage Of
the heavy taxation to which our producers are
TO be subjected. Our lumbermen, fishermen,
cattle rasers, &c., will have new temptation
10 transfer their business TO an alien jurisdic-
ton, where they can escape the burdens Of the
United States, and still enjoy an uuobstructed
ACCESS to the markets Of the United States.

GEN. LANES EXPEDITION The extraordinary
and uumilitary order of Gen. Hunter, in rela-
ton to Gen. Lanes expedition, has taken the
country by surprise, and is causing considera
BILE excitement. Ills staff remained here to get
their commissions, and, despite Hunters order,
they left Washington for Kansas on Saturday
night, expecting to join their General at Leav.
"nwolth. Whatever may be said to the con.
trary, we have reason 10 know that Gen. Lane
went from here expecting to have, and sup.
posing tha: he did have, an Independent com.
maud, not lo be controlled by Gen. Hunter OF
any one else, aud that he was to fight bis
battles In his own way, ard 30 understood the
President. All his Aids were under the same
impression, and so were the most intimate
friends OF Gen. Lane.
II is now certain that there is some great
mlstake in this matter and that the President
never intended him 10 act independently Of
Gen. Hunter, but to be subject to him as hi
superior officer.
We learned, late last night, that Gen. Lam
was returning to Washingto ton, and that be woul
soon be here.

CONSOLIDATION or REGrMEHrs.-An arrange
ment has been effected for the consolidation Of
two Of the Oldest regiments In the service-ths
Twelfth New York volunteers and the Twelfth
New York State militia. Both have been since
last Spring in the field. The regiment Is 10
consist Of Eve companies from each of the old
organizations. Lieut. Col. H. A. Weeks, Of the
State militia, an officer Of considerable military
experience, Is to be Colonel. Lieut. Col. r. N.
Richardson, Of the volunteers, who has been q
general in the State militia, and was at Bull
Run, and in several skirmhhes, with great credit
to bis ability and courage, retains the same
rank In the reorganized corps The major Is
Maj. H. A. Barpum, Of the volunteer, young
officer Of great promise, as we'll as proved en-.
ergy and gallant bearing. .....
The Twelfth volunteers, from which the last
two oficers were taken, was originally com
mapded by Col. Walrath, an. accomplished
officer, since resigned. At Bull Run they oc.
cupied an advanced position 10 front of Black.
burns Ford, In the brigade of Gen. Richardson,
and succeeded 10 impressing Bsauregard with
the belief that they were regulars. As On evi.
dence Of their coolness, some Of their skirmish.
ers, finding themselves between the artillery
fires Of ,hs two armies, and having no orders TO
withdraw, cQolly smoked their pipes and picked
blackberries while the thunders Of battle rolled
over their heads. They came from Onondago
county, New York, largely from the city Of
Syracuse; which city, by the way, has turned
out as brigadiers, Gems Peck, Slocum, and
Adams. and We believe Woodbridge. Tho Twelfth
has been, stationed at Upton's Hill, In Gen. Nc
Dowells division.
The Twelfth State militia, from New York
city, was the rival of the famous New York
Seventh, thoroughly equipped and drilled, un.
der the command Of Colonel, now Gen. But
terHeld, q thorough and severe disciplinarian.
Their parades were the admiration of all.
The material Of this new regiment Is Of un
usual excellence. The men possess rare intel-
ligence, and high degrees, Of the attributes
requisite for hard service. The camp at Up.
toms Hill has invariably provided for their
sick In private houses, and given them the
best ofnursng, and If deaths have occurred, the
bodies Of the dead have been clrefully sent to
their former homes.
It Is the desirs and expectation of the regi.
ment to be allowed to see active service In the
next expedition sent South. We hope their
wish viii be gratihed. ,,r ~.

THE CRISIS.

The time for delusions has gone by, or if,
by chance, We delude ourselves, we cannot
delude either the enemy we are fighting, or
The world. 1t is utterly impossible for us to
maintain many months longer, the present war
upon the present scale. We must conquer, or
give II up by summer at farthest, and 1t is not
certain that we shall be allowed to 60 on as
of foreign powers.
The Southern people understand all this as
we'll as we do, and whatever may be their dis.
trees doubtless great,) they are encouraged to
endure it and brace up against it, by the hope
OF an early relief There is not the slightest
reason to suppose that they will succumb from
any feeling Of dependency a, to the future.
II they can only bear their present sufferings,
the future looks bright 10 them. They will
not give up in despair, or yield to any ything
short OF q physical power which they cannot
resist.
II we have this physical power in our armies,
adequate to put down this rebellion before
snmmer comes and at the same time to pro-
teci, or not to disturb slavery, SO much the
more satisfactory to those who are attached to
that institution, or fear the consequence Of med
ding with 1t. That, however, has been tried a
good while, and with very poor success Those
who insist that nothing else shall be tried, take
very great responsibility, and should be very
sure of their ground. If this war fails, the mer
in whose hands il fails, will reap all the oduu
which their failure will deserve, and probably
a good deal more.
