CONFEDERATE REFUGEES IN CANADA.-A
correspondent writes from Canada as folloWs:
The British Possessions are crowded with refu-
gees from the South, most Of them the victims OF
expatriation from Kertucky, Tennessee aud the
banks Of the Mississippi River. There are few
families from the Atlantic coast. / have met two
from Charleston. poneganas Hotel is the Con-
federate headquarterj. The alliance between Eng
land and the Confede:.cJ was ccmented in formal
style few weeks ago. lord Abipger, who is an
officer of the Guards, one of the "crack" British
regiments now in garrison here, was married to
Miss Magruder, the beautiful and accomplished
niece of the Confederate commander in Texas All
that lovely and chivalrous of the two empires,

FOOD OF LA8oRING MEN ABROAD

"Ihe Irish PEASANTS food, in time of harvest
consists of oatmeal, porridge and small quantity
of sour milk or butter milk for breakfast; pound
Of wheaton bread and pint and half Of beer at
dinner, and at night a supper resembling the
breakfast.
'In parts of Scotland, the laborers, if single
men, are furnished with two pecks of oatmeal on
Monday morning, and with a daily allowance of
new or sour Enthusiastically they may have
beer and bread for dinner, Instead OF pOrridge
Few laborers exhibit frmer health or more muscu-
lar vigor, Or really perform more work than many
of these men"
"The wages of the French peasantry are in
general from franc to a franc and half per day
per man-that is, ten to fifteen pence, or twenty to
thirty CENTS and to women, about four tlths of the
former sum, or about eight pence or sixteen cents
Coffee and tea are scarcely known among them
They drink no ardent spirits. Their usual drink
is an acid wine, not strong common cider,
and this mixed with water. They have meat but
rarely-occasionay fish; but their general provis
ion is soup composed chiefly of vegetables and
bread. Bread, both wheat and rye, is with them
literally the staff Of life. With all this they en-
JOY ruddy health"
From these extracts we see on what diet mill
ions upon millions of men in the two most civiliz-
ed countries of Europe subsist themselves from
year to year, and from youth to old age. Iolllng
laborers not required to toll here, they yet
scarcely know the taste of flesh. What they
thus endure constantly, we surely can endure
for time, when our liberties and all that is
dear to US are at stake, We surely make
some distant approximation to the abstemious diet
on which Irish laborers fatten at feast, rather
than our sun should 90 down in darkness and
blood, and unutterable horror! We can deny our
selves at home for season, that the gallant sol
diers to whom we look for deVerance, may have
proper and abundant food. Every good citizen
will do this willingly and of choice; the bad and
the inconsiderate must be made to do it.
BSr most interesting and impressive ceremo-
ny took place at the Episcopal Church in Dalton,

Elliott of four Generals of the army of Tennessee.
Lieut. Gen Hardee and Gems. Cowan, Shupe and

into the church by baptism, and then the rites of

others.

Siskiyou Matters.

A recent letter from Yreka, has the follow
ing:
There is a mighty rush of people passing
through here for Boise. The signs of the
times indicate a total depopulation Of the
State south of us, but while the men are
leaving, children are coming into the world
with great rapidity. Under the head Of
g" born" the Yreka papers chronicle the adj
vent of four bran new babies on the 9Th of
March, and among them one, daughter, to
A. V. Burns, and a son to Nelson Cash. An
old lady of Siskiyou, learned in such matters,
confidently predicts an accession Of some so
or more to the infantry ranks during the
months of March and April. Bully for the
women Of Siskiyou! They are "Springing
to the call for"-thousands more,-To fill the
vacant ranks of their husbands gone be.

READY.-Miners throughout the Basin
have everything set, and many are already at
work tearing dowP the hills with the greatly
improved facilities in the way of bitches, by
draulics, &C., which the last two or three
months without water have enabled them to
make; and SO far as we can learn, with better
success than was anticipated. Throughout
the entire length of all the various paying
creeks and galches between this city and Pla-
Cerville, we observe an almost continuous net
work of sluices, bitches and hydraulics. From
the present state Of fOrwardness, compared
with that of last Spring, it is but reasonable
to anticipate during the next two months, a
yleldof gold twice as large as any realized
heretofore during the same length of
time. In view of these hattering pros
poets, merchants and business men of every
class, are also putting everything inreadiness
for the "gooG times coming, "-at PlacervilleI
and Centervile will this specially apply. !

H1sToRIEs.-J. C. Holgate, Agent, has laid
on our table several valuable books during
the week, embracing the first volumes of Alb
bolts and Schmucker's histories of the Civil
War in America Poilard's Southern History
of the First year of the War, and the Nations
al Almanac. Abbott as historian, has made
his record inthe Life of Napoleon, History
of the French Revolution, Monarcbies Of
Continental Europe, etc. His present work,
as well as that of Pollard, have been thor
oushiy ventilated, and are widely known
0ohmucker's book appears to be very fair
exposition of the events of the war, written
IN graphic styl9, and is, perhaps, quite as
readable as either of the others, if not indeed
more so. These works are all beautifully Il.
ustroted. The National Almanac is book
'f5698 pages, full of statistical information
invaluable to the politician, and handy to
rave in the house. In addition to these.
4loyds large Railroad Map Of the Southern
states accompanied the lot, and is an excel
eat auxiliary to proper understanding of
ne histories. Abbott and Pollard can be

of County Commissioners are inclined to pro-
vide Court House and Jail, provided the
citizens of Idaho City will subscribe literally
towards the erection Of the necessary build
ipgs, Those interested in property, should
not let the enterprise fail for the want of a
few thousands to be expended in putting up
houses that will be an ornament to the city.

STAGING AND sRoADs.-A recent trip to
Plocerville very forcibly presented to our
mind, that staging at this season Of the year,
is an "up-hill business" notwithstanding. We
were taken through over Cornish &. Wiley's
line with unaccountable speed and safety.
Their road is a good improvement on the old
ones, and as soon as they become sufficiently
clear OF snow and ice, it is the intention of
the. proprietors to make the round trip both
ways daily. They deserve much credit for
keeping up their line during the Winter.
