Rebel Emissaries in Canada.

A Quebec correspondent of the Toronto
Globe says:
Quebec has been honored of late with dis
tinguished visitors. Last week Messrs. Clay
and Henderson, the Confederate States Com
missioners, were here, and, as l am told, they
went away in huff in most decided state
of indignation. Wherefore, do you ask ?
Simply because they were not treated by our
Government with that consideration they es-
teemed due to their poaition. In fact, his Ex-
cellency the Governor General, the Premier,
Sir E. p. Tache, and the Ministry generally,
treated them as the English Government
treated Mr.. Mason. If Messrs. CLAY and
Henderson are not content Herewith they
may 60 to Horace Greeley. 3d.
The Editor of the Glode remarks ,
We cannot help thinking that these repeat
ed outrages on our frontier are designed to
embroil Britain with the United States.
Plumber may be one object, but the sanction
which these desperadoes must receive from
Southerners of better class proceeds, we
fear, from different motive. 1t Is a noticeable
fact, that while this outrage at st. Adams was
In progress, two Confederate agents presented
themselves in Quebec, and were chagrined by
the Government declining to take cognizance
of them. Had they been received by the
Governor General, the circumstance would
nave aHOr0eu an aumiTdUie PENDANT TO the
robbery of the banks and the murder of the
citizens of st. Adams. The New York Her.
aid and Its coadjutors in the evil work OF
stirring up strife between England and the
Republic would have made much of it. IS
Our Government have before manifested a
strong determination to prevent the soil OF
Canada being used as cover for piratical at
tacks, and this fresh outrage~has, it will be
seen by our telegraphic reports, called forth
renewed efforts in that direction. The peoole
of the Province, in whatever direction their
sympathies may go in the American quarrel,
are unanimous in the determination to act in
fair and friendly spirit towards our neigh
bours, and to prevent, as far as In us lies, at
tacks upon them by persons who claim the
shelter OF our flag. =

William Pitt Fessenden.

Notwithstanding the interest, everywhere
telt in the dread issue now before the Ameri-
can people, which is to determine the fate of
our children's children forever, there are 9th
er questions constantly springing up, which
cannot be overlooked.
Our national credit is one-but as that is in
good hands, and all the signs are propitious,
we may well afford to give it the go-by till af-
ter the eighth of November.
The true character of Abraham Lincoln. as
man and as a statesman, is another. 1t Is
beginning to be looked into and understood
as it never was before, and the people are now
ready to acknowledge that he is too near for
us to see him in his true proportions. But
history will do him justice, and after another
term, the greatest men of our day will won
der that they have SO misunderstood him, and
perhaps moderated him.
But there is another question which cannot
De set aside, nor postponed. 1t lies at the
very foundation of our strength, come ,chat
may Of the election. 1t is this: Who shall be
the Chief Justice of our Supreme Judiciary?
Many candidates have been mentioned, and
all, without exception, able and worthy men.
or late, however, there is ripple in the cur
rent of public opinion, which is setting this
way. Our townsman, William Pitt Fessenden.
is not only mentioned, but strongly urged up
on the Presidnet; and even the Portland Ad-
sertser, we see, is magnanimous enough to
scsnowiedge his high qualifications for the
office.
oue ior his position at the head of the
Areasury-irom which he cannot well be SPAR
ed-there would be still stronger cnrrent
setting in his favor. But can be not,ho snor-
edP And if so, does he not well deserve tn
be translated for the sacrifice he made =, 10.
cepting that office, against all his incl;n.,;ons
and purposes? And when we consider NJ.
legal qualihcations-his large experience
the comprehensive grasp, and judicial clear
ness, and uncommon strength of his UNDER
standing, ought even his great usefulness in
the position he now occupies, to stand in the
way of still greater and more lasting useful
ness in still wider field?
As amember of the Supreme Executive, as
part OF the great system of checks and bal
1uoeS' whereby the strohgholds of our gov
- .n' are made safe and lasting. whatever
changes may happen through wars. or poll
IcS' Ut nnance, we need just such men in
just such places, however great tho soor;eoo
In some other direction; we need tbar, -
breakwaters; we need them for b.Io,aol
wheels; we need them for refuge in the dav
of calamity, when whatever is not anchored
by the Rock of Ages will be found driftine

BArH.-We have received communica.
ton from an esteemed friend in relation to
"Spurwink's" notice of the School difficulties
in that city. We think he will, upon second
thought, agree with us that it is better not to
further disturb an unpleasant matter which
has been amicably adjusted. While he thinks
"Spurwink" out in some of his statements. we
happen to know that he is not entirety correct
in his structures upon that correspondent.
The "rule" of the school as he gives it, of it.

sion. The Interpretation of the rule may
have made the mischief. He is mistaken, also
in relation SO the Portland schools.

REBEL oRDER.--On Tuesday, the day of
the elections in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyiva-
mia, the Rebels hung out huge placard at a
point in their outer works before Richmond,
Inscribed, "vote for Mcclellan" and fired a
blank charge to call attention to it. It got at
tention speedily-good Union attention. A
concentrated discharge of shotted guns knock

suit:
For Mcclellan, 43
For Lincoln, 100
On one seat sat two persons presumed to be
army officers, from the fact that they had
swords in their hands. Their overcoats con-
cealed their shoulderstraps If they were adorn-
ed with such badges. One of them promptly
said he should vote for Lincoln. The other
was at first Roncommittal, but finally said
when asked if he should vote for Lincoln,
tnat he would sooner have his head cut of,
ana that if he was in favor of Lincoln he should
be ashamed to own it'll
we Will wager small trifle, If that fellow
IS an officer, that he is either a coward. that
his ambition has received check. that be has
been dismissed from the service. or that he
ought to be. We do not predicate this iudp-
ment on the fact that he is Mcclellan man
or that he is opposed to Lincoln, but on the
manner of his putting his objection. No low

or appreciation of his position, will speak

mander.

Thanksgiving Day.


Our citizens generally observed
this time-honorcd festival day by
closing their places of business and
attending church.
The various congregations united
and held service in the Presbyterian
Church. The sermon was preached
by Rev Imhof, who, in clear and
mastery manner demonstrated the
fact that an over-ruling Providence
is guiding and controlling the affairs
of this nation, and that out of all our
present difficulties He will bring us
peace and greater stability, because
we will be freed from the curse and
blight of human slavery, and thus
have the greatest obstacle to our
prosperity and happiness removed
He very clearly showed that if we
only do right and follow out the man
ifest will and design Of the Supreme
Ruler, and purge our whole land of
this the cause and support of the
rebellion; then will we lead by him,
so much the quicker to successful
issue, out of all our troubles.
At the close of the sermon col,
lection was taken up for the Christian
Commission, which amounted to two
hundred and sixty dollars. A col
lection was also taken up at Thomas
Church, in Marion township, amount
ing to ten dollars aud fifty cents,
which was paid over to those having
charge of the funds here, to be sent
directly to the proper officers of the
Commission for their benevolent pur-
