A corps Of English engineers have been
laying out defsnces and tortifcatOnB along
the Canadian frontier and in the Canadian
cities. Toronto has been strongly fortified,
the batteries being mounted with one hundred
pound Armstrong guns. The engineers visited
Sarnia, Goderich and other lake cities and
planned the defenoes Of those points. But
what We particularly refer to now in their
work, Is the fact that at Windsor, directly
opposite Detroit they have commenced works

release him on parole. Upon investiga-
tion, It proved that, Of the rebels who then
had him in ehsrge-about dozen-not
one could write parole, or anything else.
Through their whole youth they had never
been subjected to the pernicious influence
Of free schools. At last they requested
Col. Lawson himself to make out the ps.
role and sign it. he Immediately wrote
an agreement solemnly pledging himself
never to take up arms against the Uaite5
States of america, or in any way give aid
and comfort to their enemies, signed il, and
wss set at liberty. He made the best Of

COINAGE IN AEE YORK.
Especial Dispatch to Cincinnati Commercially
From Kentucky and Tennessee.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. Z.
Green river rose fifteen feet on Sunday
night, washing away the small trestle bridge
at Mumfordsville, and endangering the pom
toon bridge near By. The railroad bridge
was completed hastily, in anticipation of the
rise of the river.
The Catholic Bishop of Nashville has ar
rived here.
he states that drafting in Tennessee proved
partial failure. Union men are numerous
in that city. They are not outspoken, but
often indulge in ridicule of the Confederate
Government, and use language which indi-
Gates their feeling. The rebel army is a
greater terror even to secessionists, than the
Union army. If Bowling Green falls, Nash
vile will be destroyed. Forts are being
built near the city; one is situated two miles
north of the city, on the Gallatin turnpike,
and others east and west of the city.
The Bishop came by the way Of Bowling
Green and Mumfordsville. He knows moth
ing of the force at Bowling Green. No re-
Inducements had arrived from Columbus.
he saw at Glasgow Junction the remains of
the splendid tunnel at that point, destroyed
oE the 9th by rebels. The railroad from that
point north has been entirely destroyed
even rails tsken away. The turnpike has
been obstructed by felled trees. The rebels
are endeavoring to draw Union men on
Bowling Green. he says the approach to
Columbus, Ky, is splendidly defended by
numerous batteries, chains and torpedoes
obstructing the river, and thinks it an utter
impossibility for gunbOats to live in the wa
ter at that point. General Zollicoffer has
thrown three regiments of rebels in Tim
town, to keep the rear open and to guard.

The New York World says that mer-
chant in Montreal, whese note had been dis
counted in New York, when it fell due & few
days ago, wrote to his creditor declining to
pay, alleging as the reason the probability Of
war, and added, moreover, that the cashier
Of the Montreal bank with which be did
business, had said to him that his credit there
would suffer no detriment if the note went to
protest under such circumstance.
If this Is the Canadian game, let our mer-
chants look to it. Let every Canadian bank
bill be sent home as speedily as possible for
redemption, and every dsllar Of it sent out
Of circulation in the States. Let our for
Warders and farmers send their produce by
American and net by Canadian railroads, and
let every man from the far West who goe,
to New York or Boston, shun the Great
Western and the Grand Trunk roads, taking
tickets BY those running south Of the lakes
and the st. Lawrence.

De-. Shelton Mckenzie, the well informed
Engli1h editor of the Philadelphia Press, has
received private letters from London, eI-
pressing the probability there exists that
Queen Victoria, whose mind had not yet full
y recovered from the shock received through
the late death Of her mother, viii be still
more profoundly affected by her eOnsOrts
death, and win, in all likelihood, give up
the reins Of government in favor Of the
Prince Of Wales. Overcome by grief, she
has retired TO her country seat in the Isle Of
Wight, leaving the Prince Of Wales at
Windssr Castle to pay the LAST sad duties Of
affection 20 bis fathers remains. The on dits
Of the London clubs were, that the Queen
would probably retire from public life, not
precisely resigning the crown, but delegatiDg
the performance of her duties, which really
are more of form than reality, to her eldest
son. At her request no doubt Parliament
would empower him to act as Regent-just
IS the preceding Prince Of Wales, afterwards
George w., did act during his fathers last
Illness, from 1910 70 1870; ss more recently
the Primes Royal Of Russia acted during the
mental incapacity Of his brother, the late
King William Frederick, and as the Prince
Oolsort Of Portugal acted during the minor
ity Of bis son, King Pedro V.
The Prince Of Wales attained his legal
majority fixed by Parliament at the age Of
eighteen, in the case Of Royalty over two
years ago, so that no difficulty could be raised
on the score Of youth. His mother succeed
cd % the throne at tie early age Of eighteen
years and one month. The Prince of Wales,
Is was, il is said, his father Prince Albert, Is
very friendly TO the United States, and will,
doubtless, be opposed to war with rs. In
event Of his regency, It may be that be may
make change in the ministry, dismissing
Lord Palmerston, who has always been hos
tile to our country, for the Duke Of Kewcss.
tie, bis travelling companion and guardian
while in this country, and said to be liber-
al and candid statesman. In 1910, when a
former Prince of Wales was appointed Re
gent, he made no change in the ministry.
Il Is difficult TO determine what degree Of
crsdibiity Is 70 be attached 70 the rumors of
FictoFia's inclination to retire into private
life. Certain mysterious paragraphs, 10 some
leading London journals, since Prince Al
bert's death, may be taken as HfeeleEs'' per-
hsps. The subject is too delicate to be open
y taken up By the English press ct present,
bat tbe impression from the paragraphs in
question Is an apprehension that her great
domestic affection had, for the present, 50
greatly pEostrated the Queens mind, that it
would be exPedient for her to withdraw, for
q time ct least from the fatiguing routine Of
daily royal duty.

The long expected operations Of the army,
Il is generally believed, will shortly be made;
and in anticipation of it, our people feel more
cheerful and confident. Tne weary months
Of preparation which have passed since Gen.
Mcclellan assumed command will culminate,
it is hoped, in some magnificent successes,
and the practical crushing out Of the rebel
lion. No army, in modern times, has been
better equipped and accoutred, than the
grand armies of the United States no sol
diers have ever been disciplined who were
more eager for battle, or more thoroughly
understood the tremendous issues devolving
upon their arms, and, IN the hands ofeom-
petent Generals, no army could achieve more
brilliant and substantial results.
1t has been estimated by parties who have
the data upon which to build accurate con-
clusions, that the number Of slaves who have
escaped from rebelious masters since the
secession of Virginia, and the actual COM
mencement Of hostilitieS, reaches nearly siI-
ty thousand, valued, in round figures at
oTer three millions of dollarsi or more than
was lost by the Shareholders in all the pre-
vious thirty years of the slavery agitationl-
This simple fact, more than all the 'lnexor-
able logic of years Of debate, proves the
Wretehed folly of secession, and the worth
less prophecies of its leaders.

tain New England and one or two Western

er they will vote for con6scation act even;
fear of consequences being the motives which
prompt them to such intense Conservation"

they are disposed to treat the rebelliOus slave
