s.BULL RUN AND "DIXIE' IN CANADA

sBULL RUN AND "DiNiE" IN CANADA.
As showing the current OF popular feeling in
Canada, We give the following from a late
number Of the Toronto Leader:
An officer Of the Federal army has been
paraelng the streets of Toronto il full dress
these tsFo or three days. He is in a bran new,
bright and shining Yankee uniform, and some
indignation has been excited by the imperte-
neat display It is remembered that British
officer off duty in his owl town wears a plain
undress garb, and that in another country he
would appear as an ordinary civilian. North
ern officers, it is said, should behave with
equal propriety. Perhaps, however, the sug-
gestion presupposes too much. Our visitor
may not have another coat While parading
King street yesterday, several young urchins,
as well as one or two "children of larger
growth" cried out loudly, Bull Rum" but
instead of blushirg for his country, he seemed
to acquire more magnificent strut by the
notice he attracted, uncomplmentary as ii
was.
On Friday evening last scene occurred in
one of cur favorite saloons which shows the
current of popular opinion in this city. A
valiant warrior, clothed in the blue and brass
of the United States service, entered and seat
ed himself at one Of the tables. A Southerner
in the roon-a gentleman from Louisiana un
able to get home-betrayed considerable ex
citemeat, and presently called for " Dixie's

LATEST FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST

l.
The Charleston Courier, of the l 1th instant,
learns from participant in the late fight that
the enemy, after firing volley, would imme-
diately fall to the ground to avoid the effects
Of our fire:
Upon their first landing and while the skir-
mishers of the enemy were advancing, our men
were posted behind thicket concealed from
observation ana quietly waiting for the enemy
to get within easy range of their muskets.--
When about one hundred and fifty yards dis
tant gun in the hands of one OF our men went
off accldently, which at once put the enemy on
the alert Had it not been for this, it Is thought
the whole advancing party would have been
killed or captured.
The officer bearing the flag of truce, Lieut..
Elliott, Of a New York regiment, seemed very
desirous of having parely with our men.-
When asked why he was desecrating the soil
of s. c., and fighting against our liberties, he
responded by saying that they came to avenge
the insult to their flag, the stars and stripes
Upon its be intimated that they had thrown
away the most favorable opportunity for redee-
ming their honor by releasing Mason and Si-
dell. the officer said that was foreign to the
subject, and the conversation dropped.
It was rumored that Gen. Sherman had sent
another flag of truce yesterday to>Gen: Lee, in
