the warm reception prepared for them.
The Times says there is bui little doubt
thai raid was planned by the rebels in
and about Montreal, hut as ample prepa-
rapons have been made their efforts will
come to nanght. On Friday information
reached Gov. Smith and Collector Clapp
that prominent secessionists in Montreal
were overheard to say that they had made
plan to come quietly through the Cham
bly, canal with some armed boats and can
tore Fort Montgomery. Having made their
base of operations, they were then to de-
stroy the telegraph wires and the draw
bridge at Rouses Point, after which they
were TO move up the lake and burn aud
plunder Platlsburg and Burlington. AS
one of the desperadoes said, '' Wen take
a million of dollars out of the Yankees.

tlon, means We're Immediately taken by
Gov Smith to communicate il to the su-
perintendent of the works at Fort Mont
gomery, who soon had its guns well
manned. Gov. Smith, Gen. Washburn.
Col. Thomas and Collector Clamp, were
IN consultation on Saturday at st. Albans.
This is probably the last Of the q scare, .
though raid was doubtless a part Of the
proposed operations along the Canada
line, of which Johnson's Island was to be
the first demonstration. @w
The Free Press says that it has made
ample preparations to receive the rebel
army of Canada, it having made arrange
ments to nouns a battery of 5O-pSunder
ink-kegs on the stairs of Its Office. and it
being also well provided with " shooting

commenced the construction of a new tels-
graph line for through business from White
River junction to Rouse's Point and Mon
treal, connecting with Boston.

Bold ATTEMPT AT MuRDHR.-The
Rochester Union of Wednesday, has an
account of an attempt to take the life of a
citizen of Rochester, which is scarcely
credible. The Union says: AT or near
the hour of two o'clock this morning. du-
ring the storm Of rain and wind-the
house of DR. Naramore was entered by
man in disguise, wearing mask or cowl
over his face. The first knowledge that
any Of the inmates of the house had of
the presence of stranger came to Mrs
Naramore, who awoke and found man
standing at her bedside reaching his arm
ever her and pointing pistol at the head
OF her husband, who was sleeping beside
and next to the wall of the room where
the bed stood. Mrs. N. shrieked at the
discovery, which alarmed her husband.
and he sprang up in bed. At the same
instant the man standing near snapped
his pistol, cooked it again and fired. The
ball struck the struck the forehead Of DR..
N. just over the right eye, cut cash up-
ward across the front uf the skull. and
passing out entered the wall of the room.
9 wound was not SO severe but the
bounded man retained his senses, and
umping over to the front side Of the bed,
seized the man and was dragged by him
to the sitting room. There he lost his
hold, falling to the floor, aud the assassin
ran out the door he had entered and made
his escape. DIR. N. retained one Of the
buttons of his coat in his hand.
The DR.. though not fatally injured, is
not able, as yet, to give much information
TO the police. No trace Of the assassin
has been discovered

CONFEDERATE FINANCES. In an arti-
Gle advocating resort to forced loans, the
Richmond Examiner says:
"Men no longer repose implicit conf
dence in Confederate bonds. In fact all
patriotic considerations have lost their
weight in the general demoralizatien at
tendant on prolonged war. Our hopes
Of financial reform are based rather on
popular disgust than on popular sense Of
duty
It then goes on to show that complica-
ted systems of collecting revenues must be
set aside for q short, quick mode Of opera :
tions, remarking
''Thls il case which demands instant
rehef. Expedition is everything If the
plan Of forced loan is adopted, ii must
be based on the assessment Of the present
year; and il might be as well to have the
present collectors qualified to take in the
proceeds Of the new levy. The days Of
grace must be shortened as much as prac-
tlcable; the accounts closed rigidly at the
appointed time; and heavy forfelts exact
ed of delinquents."
The Examiner closes its article with the
significant remark "Llke the conscrip-
tion, it will teach men that they belong TO
their country, and not to themselves-a
lesson which is not always best learned by
voluntary sacrifces.n

The Emperor of the French opened
the session of the Legislative Chambers
on the 9th of November with speech.
Although The Emperor s. id nothing about
America, and very little about Mexico.
the speech was Of great Importance because
Of its frankness in dealing with the Pol
lsh question. The emperor acknowledged
that the diplomatic steps hitherto taken
have altogether failed-in fact, have only
embittered the contest on both sides. AS
the sole means of averting ultimate war.
ne therefore announces that he is about to
propose that great European Congress
shall be summoned, at which not alone
the Polish question but the other great DO
htcal questions agitating Europe shall be
discussed, and a general reduction of ar
maments shall be proposed. The Emper-
or dwelt with peculiar emphasis on the
folly of maintaining exaggerated arma-
ment, and keeping up condition which
has neither the security of peace nor the
happy chances of war.

The TEST OATH.--A great clonor has
been raised by the opposition press about
the oath which vsters in MARYLAND and
Delaware who were challenged as disloyal,
were required to take. But these papers
were very careful not to Let their readers
know what that oath Is out Of which they
attempt to make so much capital. We
copy it entire and ask every reasonable
man ifthere is anything in il or about it
which is Objectionable to y loyal man.
and whether in the present condition Of
the border States, infested As they are by
rebels, it was not wise precautlon to
adopt such measure to prevent them
from carrying out their nefarious pur-
poses:
!" / do hereby solemnly swear that I
will support, protect and defend the Con-
stitutlon and Government of the United
States against all enemies, whether de-
mestic or foreign that / hereby pledge
my allegiance, faith and loyalty to the
same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of
any Sta.e Convention, or Legislature, to
the contrary Notwithstanding that will
at all times yield a hearty and willing
obedle nee to said Constitution and Gov
ernment, and will not, directly or indirect
ly, do any act in hostility to the same, Ell
ther by taking up arms against them, or
AIDING, abetting, or countenancing these
in arms against them: that without per-
mission from the lawful authority, / will
have no communication, direct or indirect,
with any States in nsurrection with the
United States, or with either of them, or
with any person or persons within said in
surrectionary States. and that ! viii in all
things deport myself as good and loyal
citizen to the United States. This I do
in good faith, with fall determination,
pledge and purpose to keep this, my sworn
obligation, and without any mental reser-
walton or evasion whatsoever.
