Plain Words Ior Colonial Ears.

Following the fashion set by the London
Times, the Canadian papers have snarled
at our Government ever since the war
broke out, and now that the Times draws in
its horns they again follow suit and become
placable. One Montreal journal finds place
for two singing letters from correspondents
in the United States, in which some plain
words are spoken. Here is the concluding
passage Of one of these epistles:
The people that can raise and equip such
armies 10 year build an impregnable
vessel of war without model, in hun
dred days, and win twenty or thirty victo-
ries in the same time, can take care of
themselves; and preserve their national
life, their national domain, and their ma.
tional reputation and prosperity, beyond
doubt.
Though not prophet, will venture the
prediction, that within the lives of some
now living, perhaps in yours, sir, this nation,
one and inseparable as now, will contain
within its borders one hundred and fifty
millions of human beings, and not one a
slave. That result may require some rever-
ses and sacrifices. But it is necessity and
must be accomplished
One other prediction If the Canadians
ever again insist on fight with US, they
will get it. Not that we want Canada or
quarrel; or reciprocity treaty, either /;
but that people so humane and generous
as ours, cannot bear to see neighbor
utterly spelling for fight"
The weekly pioneer and Democrat., 1862-05-16
As We Expected.

The Chicago Tribune, true to its bastard.
ly instincts, must couple the announcement
of tho evacuation of Yorktown with sneer
at MCCLELLAN. In its Washington specials,
written as usual in the Tribune sanctum,
tn ere occurs the following:
Yorktown is considered here a second
Manassas. Civilians thought days ago that
evacuation was going on. Our works were
not to be ready for three sossks." t
The utter, despicable meanness, of the
class of journals to which the Tribune is af-
filiated, in everything that relates to the
conduct of the war, cannot be adequately
characterized. McCLELLAN, BUELL., HAL.
LEcK, and the lamented Gen. Q. F. SMITH,
have been abused in turn, while such char
acters as the Jayhawker JENN1soN of Kan
sas, are constant objects of laudation.

The Boston critics watch Mr.. Sumner
yer closely, and pursue him numerically.
They have done much within the last two
years to tear from him the garments of czas-
aicality, which be 50 very ostentatiously
displays on all occasions. They have ex-
posed his errors and blunders repeatedly.
A writer in the Boston Courier thus perfo-
rates the Senator's "learning" at new
point:
To THE EDITOR OF THE BosToN COURIER: In
one of Mr.. Summers speeches he attempted
to fasten the blame of the present unhappy
condition of the country upon slavery, as the
sun of Achan, which had drawn down upon us
the judgments of Heaven. But what was the
sin of Achan? Let the man tell us himself.
In his confession to Joshua. he said-"Indeed
have sinned against the Lord God of Israel,
and thus and thus have done. When I saw
among the spoils, good Babylonian garment
and two hundred shekels of silver and wedge
Of gold of fifty shekels weight, then l coveted
them and took them, and behold they are hid
in the earth in the midst of my tent and the
silver under It," In other words, he had vio-
lated the sacred rights of Iproperty-he had
stolen from the enemy-heI had confscated to
his own use that which did not belong to him.

FoR THE GOLD DIGGINGs.--A company
Of fourteen, fully equipped and provided,
arrived yesterday by the steamer Favorite
from st. Peter, en- route for the British
Columbia Gold Diggings. Their destina-
tion is somewhere between the Salmon
River and Cariboo Mines.
The Company from this city propose
leaving on next Wednesday. Their names
are, so far as we have been able to learn
John Spencer, Amos Hall,
W. G. Morrison, James Water,
Philip Lowell, TIC. Curtiss.

Another company Of Canadians arrived
on Thursday night, bound for the gold
country. They expect to unite with the
parties already gone out.
MIR. Wallace, one of the editors of the
Toronto Globe, is in this party. His OBJ.
ject, as we understand, is to obtain thor.
ough knowledge of the route through Min.
nesota, and to direct public attention in a
more particular manner, to the Gold Mines,
ard the proper way to get there. We
give the names Of this company:

Execution of an Alleged Union Spy
in Richmond.

The Richmond papers contain an ac~
count of the trial, sentence and execution Of
Timothy Webster, an alleged Union spy.
He was charged with lurking about the ar
mics and Notifications of the Confederate
States in and near Richmond, and was ad-
judged to suffer death by hanging, on the
29th of April. The following is an account
of the style of carrying the sentence into
effect:
On the announcement of his approaching
fate, the prisoner, as we hear, grew defiant,
thinking, no doubt, that he would not be
hung. He also said be could make several
parties in the War Department shake in
their jackets, by his revelations, but be
made none up to his last hour. Learning
on Monday night that there was no show
for him, he became completely unnerved.
He was carried to the Fair Grounds as ear
ly as six o'clock yesterday morning, by
Captain Alexander, but prior to that time
received visit from the Rev. Mr.. Wood
bridge. He asked the clergyman to read
the Psalm OF David, invoking vengeance or
his enemies. He refused and Webster
grew indignant, causing the clergyman to
take an early departure. When brought to
the gallows the prisoner was visibly affected
by the sight of the preparations observable,
and shuddered when he looked at his coffin.
After the rope was adjusted around bis
neck, prayer was offered up by Rev. M. D..
HOge. At the conclusion black cap was
drawn over his eyes, he having previously
bid farewell to several persons standing by.
The signal being given the trigger that sus
tained the drop was drawn, and it struck
against the uprights with a loud sound.
Owing to defective cotton rope, the moose
slipped and Webster fell on his back to the
ground. The half hung and partially
stunned man was speedily raised and assist.
ed up, and a new rope being ready, he was
soon swinging in accordance with his sens
tence. This occurred at twenty-five min.
utes past eleven O'Clock. Fifteen minutes
later we left the ground but the party was
still suspended. He died in about one min
ute.
The rebel papers say that Webster is
the first man executed by the rebels as a
spy in Richmoud, which, if true, may ex-
cuse the extraordinary leniency of our own
Government towards the spies of the reb-
els. AS the rebel government was the first
to initiate the practice of hanging, it is not
improbable that our own government will
follow it up. The New York Times thus
alludes to a prominent rebel spy now in
our hands
The rebel government have this week
hung man in Richmond, loyal citizen of
the United States, charged with being a
national spy. The United States Gov
erpment, last winter, arrested one Smith
son. Washington City banker, on the
most indubitable evidence that he was a
Confederate spy and communicated treason
able matter daily to Jeff Davis. Smthson
was consigned to Fort Lafayette, but since
the rebel Government has set the example
of hanging such offenders, MIR. Smithson's
friends in the South will not be surprised
perhaps, to learn that he is made to suffer
the same doom. The subject has received
the attention of our Government, but its
decision is not announced.
