TnE REBEL fuoITIvEs IN CANADA

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, writing from Windsor, Canada
West, under date of May 23, gives an inter
esting account of Vallandigham and the
other rebels in exile
AS matter of course Yallandigham is
the object of interest to the American visi-
tor in Canada He occupies suite of apart
ments in the second story of the IIiron's
House, an ordinary tavern on the street lead
ing from the ferry landing, and his sitting
room windows overlook the river nd the
entire river front of Detroit. There Is no
telling what "the saint sees as he sits there
watching over the border, but he hears
everything that is going on in the states as
regular us the sun rises and sets.
"A regular system of signals is establish
ed between the friends of Valandigham and
| the watcher at Iliron's, and the martyr is
duly apprised of every ones approach who
has business with him. No one is allowed
to gee him who does not come armed with
satisfactory intpductions, and even then it
Ia necessary to undergo the scrutiny of a
master of ceremonies in the gcntlemans
parlor ut Hiron's before visitors are admitted
, to his presence.
! 1T is the custom of the saint to make
| periodical visits into the interior; the peri
/ cd of these visits varying from one to three
weeks at time. II" is remarkable fact
that during his absence no one crosses the
river to zee him, but when he returns visi-
tors crowd his room for days together. AS
many as forty gentlemen from the states
call to see him in body and great deal
of stir usually attends his return. lie re-
ceives his mail under cover to parties III De-
I 4, ,Ho,
| of the City Council, named John Patton, acts
as pilots for pilgrims bound on homage to
! the saint.
"Vallandigham's business men in Detroit
are William V. James and William Champ
the latter an old police detective, and o
shrewd fellow, well adapted to the character
of business involved. They attend to the
material interests of their distinguished
patron, while Mr.. Patton looks after his po.
litical, and between them he is as faithfully
served as though his own eyes supervised
his own concerns. These men have cnthusi-
| asm for their master, and serve him with an
eagerness and fidelity only equalled by his
own fealty to JEFF. Davis.
AMERICAN EXILEs IN WINDSOR.
zone is surprised to find so many people
from the states in Windsor, for few days
J
difference between them and th5 native resi-
dents, who dress in the English styles and
speak as loud as the English themselves
These people from the states are not engag
ed in any business; they are staying in
| Windsor. that is the phrase, but when you
come to find out the fact is apparent that
they have left their country for their coun
try's good. In short, they are deserters
from the rebel or Union armies rebel agents
spies and sympathizers, political enemies tC
the United States government, and a riff-raf
of out laws, made up of Morgan's men and
citizens from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio
and Indiana, who were compelled to fly
from the hads Of justice from time to time
since the war commenced. These fellows
openly boast of their hostility to the United
States government, and shout and hurrali
for jeff Davis publicly on the streets o
Windsor. Every piece of rebel news from
the states is duly glorited, and if it is un
usually cheering, big drunk is INDUCED
forthwith"
