SEcEsLIoXIsrs IN CANADA.-A letter in thu

SECEsLIoNISrs IN CANADA.-A letter in the
N. Y. Post, from St. Cotherines, c. W., says
"the town is nest of secessionists:
There are, am told, probably dozeu in this
place who hear daily from Richmond direct,
and in almost all cases through the means of
female spies at Baltimore. They certainly know
of events that have taken place in Virginia
days before the meagre government kilograms
were allowed to appear in the papers, and they
maintain that jeff. Davis knows every night
what has passed during the day at Washington.
Ex-Cov. Morehead of Kentucky, is now
staying at the Clifton House at Niasara.-ln
conversation day or two since lie said that it
the war continues fifty years the South will not
yield-,hat if all the men are killed the women
will fght-that if all the women are killed the
children will fight. He is very indignant at
Pope, and positively on the rampage concerning
Butler. 1t is a curious fact that all the seces-
sinonist sympathizers abominate these men.
They also heartily approve of Sigel. Sigel, by
the way, is just now more talked about than
any other federal General; he seems for the
moment to have eclipsed even Burnside.

VOL. xxx.
From the Cincinnati Times.
TO ARMSl
BY Y. KEE.

TO annsl to arms throughout the land,
hear the startling cry,
Rouse, Freemen of the North, and act,
No longer sleeping lie,
Around the walls of Richmond, now,
Your armies stand at bay,
The ranks of blue are backward borne
Before the ranks of gray.
The hills of Old Kentucky. too,
Are bright with rebel steel,
And where the guns of Morgan roar,
The Union columns reel.
And on the soil of Tennessee,
The glorious Stripes and Stars
Are lowlv trailed upon the ground
Before the rebel bars.
To arms! We sons of noble sires,
Nor sheathe again the sword,
While breathes n periured miscreant
OF all the traitor horde.
What will We yield the precious boon
Your fathers fought to gain,
And can it he that Warren died
And Mercer bled in vain?
Are ye the sons of those who fell
In Trenton's morning fight,
Who crossed the freezing Delaware,
That cold December night.
When ms the columns onward marched,
With firm uubroken ranks,
The blood .mark'd footprints thick were left
Upon the wntry banks?
BY NIL those olden fields of strife,
For freedom Cpught and won,
For Bunker's Hill and Eutaw Springs,
And glorious Lexington.
To arms, and meet in battle shock
The naughty rebel foe;
Hurl back the swarming traitor host
With one resistess blow.
To arms the slaughtered Lyon calls,
By far Missour's wave,
And murdered Baker from the bluffs
Potomac's waters lave.
The white bones of your brothers bleach
On Shiloh's bloody plain,
And on the field of Malvern Hill
Are heaped your piles of slain.
Ye will no', dare not, tamely yield
The rights your fathers gave,
And leave dishonored in the strife
The banner of the brave.
To arms; We men by Northern lakes,
And by Atlantic's coast,
And sweep like chati before the wind,
The vaunting rebel host.i

WELL SAID.-Said an infdel lady once to
Lord Chesterfield, "The British Parliament
consists of five or six hundred of the best in
formed men in the kingdom. What, then, can
be the reason they tolerate such an absurdity as
the Christian regionP ?"
IL suppose" replied his lordshp, sit is
because they have not been able to substitute
anything hetter in its stead when they can, l
do not douot that, in their wisdom, they will
readily adopt it,"
And Lord Chesterfield, with all his sayings.
never said better thing.

QUITE TIE RryEnsE.-A telegram from

QUITE THE REVERSAL telegram from
Halifax conveys startling piece of informa-
lion. 1t informs us that the London Herald
thinks the draft "wil. try the temper of the
Northern people more than it has ever been
tried yet, a.d strike to its very foundation the
tottering edifice of the Union" For once that
secessionist sympathizer is right. The draft
does try the temper OF the Northern people
excessively; but it tries it because the GoUeln-
meat does not Immediately make IL The
strange spectacle is presented of a whole people
begging to be drafted That's view OF the
matter that has hardly got through the thick
skull of our British cotemporary.- KTImes.
