They are the eyes and ears Of their respec
tive governments, and France and England
want now to understand the whole case, for
they are contemplating change of attitude
by q political necessity. Their opponents who
are friends of the Southern Confederacy, want
but few votes Of a majority in Parliament. A
few weeks more of the american war, the stop
page ofa few more cotton mills, and slight
increase of the present popular distress, will
hufl them from their seats, unless they change
their policy. We believe that the change is
coming both there and in France, but we do
not think it has quite come in either. What
we want is a little patience, but what we want
still more is a manly selfreliance. and cour-
ageous and energetic use of our military
strength against the enemy. A few grand vic:
tories will win for as the welcoming hail of all
nations, and will open for us the portals OF
peace. Let us be up and doing !!

To the Editors Of tho Enquirer
GENTLEMEN
A letter of very recent date, written by q
lady of the highest standing, and rsspectability
states that the Federal transports which took
the N. Y. Militia to Norfolk, have since been
loaded with stolen and runaway negroes, and
sent to Cuba, there to be sold to help pay the
Yankee war debt. If such things are being
done it should be known throughout the world,
and the nations of Europe should know that
Yankee philanthropy is mythe and humbug,
which is exploded when it comes in contact
with Yankee gain.
Respectfully,

COMPOUND VALUE OF A Cow
A farmer in a neighboring state recently
subscribed to the recruiting fund fifty
dollars and a COW. Some one suggested
that better plan to realize her worth
than by selling her would be to put the
COW up at rattle. This was done, and
20j tickets sold at one dollar each. The
winner of the COW then put her up az
auction and sold her for thirty dollars
But it was deemed a pity that COW so
thoroughly patriotic should be sold so
cheap, and the result was that fifteen
dollars were added to the purchase mon
ey, making the cows aggregate contribu-
ton to the fund $3.50, besides the $50
from her original owner.

The "Skedaddle" For Canada

ISLAND PoND, July l0,-What is the
matter with your Maine men? notice
, the arrival of IG or Is men from Gilead
Bethel and that neighborhood with US
enroute for Canada, by the evening
freight train. l also learn that there
were twenty others, that stepped on the
passenger car at West Bethel, with tick
els for Montreal. 1t was supposed by
the knowing ones that they were going
up to establish a military depot some
where in Canada, to arrest and send back
all persons that escaped from Maine to
avoid draft, as the party was headed by
Capt. Mason. Of the Home Guards. Mr.
W. r. Leach, the track man, was to lay
the new track to the headquarters, and
Newton Swift, Of Bethel, the Buchanan
EX-Postmaster, was to be the Posmas-
'e" Of the Department.. The others
were to have something big, or eioe r.,y
could not stand the ten per cent shave
that their Southern sympathizing Cana
dian friends make on Yankee bank notes.
Now it appears that after the cars were
in motion the men belonging to that train
(who are generally piously inclined,)
not having the fear Of God before their
eyes, nor the feelings of the twenty
braves, in their hearts began in divers
ways to make them change tier base
line. The EX- Postmaster having been
sworn to to support the Constitution,
supposed be would have a seat in the
mail car; but Mr.. Eams, the Route
Agent, allowed the oath was outlawed,
being given six years ago last March,
and he was obliged to close the door from
the outside. Sundry sly whisperings
were noticed in the cars, and at some OF
the stations messages were received from
certain supposed military men in Maine
that the MaVeS would be arrested here.
And just before reaching North STRAIT
ford, Mr.. Gould, the conductor, was so
indiscree. as TO let one read the dispatch
over his shoulders, and by this act they
all left at North Stratford, TO get into
Canada by the land rout-and so great
was their hurry that they did not stop Il
take their change at the toll bridge, {
half dollar or a quarter was no object &c
them. Those that came here in the
early train got their supper, and started
the same night for Canada-but not be-
fore they were visited by our Home
Guards in front Of the hotel-who gave
three cheers for their brothers in arms,
three for the dear old flag, and three
lusty groans for the runaways Of Maine.
When they left for the cars, the boys
followed them hooting and groaning, and
when the train left there was such hoot-
ing and groaning that an outsider would
think everybody had lost his grardmoth-
er.-Portland -4drertiSsr.

and ier,or that the whole State viii undoubt-

Rebel strongholds without any fighting what

in Mcdonald County, on the 10Th inst. Aiter
y short engagement he was def ed and again
fled many prisoners were taken, and large
quantity Of arms were picked up, having been
flung away by the running Rebels.

Savannah, but dispatches in Southern papers
seem TO indicate that tho Rebels are expecting
its speedy capture. Their tone is most des-
poDdeut.
We have again the ruDOr-the positive re-

ton,sc is retiring from CeDtrcsille and Manas-
sas. 4 number of Virginia regiments have
recently gone home on leave of absence Of
thirty days, on condition that they enlist again
for the war. A released prisoner, who has
been seven months in Richmond, Gays that the
army at Manassas has been recently falling

that only thirty regiments would remain at
