just now experiencing the tender hospi-
talities of St. Johns Jail. We had a
brief conversation with him during the
day. and learned that he considered this
most important case in its bearings up
on the rebellion. He assured me that
these young men were all Confederates of
the first families in Kentucky, and that
had he known of this raid beforehand, he
would have prevented it because it was
on too small scale. He said Mr.. Greeley
and himself could have made peace in
Is minutes if Mr.. Lincoln had let them
alone. He had no hopes for Mcclellan
election, and thought "Old Abe " would
sweep the Presidential course-but thought
if the Democrats had nominated Peace
man on pace platform. they might
have done something. On Monday eve
ming, Mr.. Sanders had an important con-
versation with an acquaintance of his, a
Vermont gentlemen, formerly leading
Democratic politician and delegate to
the Charleston Convention. 1t was sub
tantially to this effect that !" in the first
place, this raid was merely the starting
point, and that if it had not been for
him, Buffalo would have been burned long
since, and that now there were over 90
900 men of the same stamp of those raid
ers in Canada and that these raids would
continue to take place and our towns
would be burned and pillaged all through
on the frontier. Furthermore, these men
would not be delivered up, and if this
complication would cause war between
Great Britain and the North What did
they care? 1t could not hurt their cause
at all but benefit it.
ANOTHER RoBBER ARRESTED.
On Monday evening Mr.. Lamotte. the
vigilant and energetic Chief of Police, for
the City of Montreal, succeeded in arrest
ing another of the robbers in room on
St. Dominique street, st. Lawrence SUBJ
urbs. He had with him $4,000 in bills
on the Franklin County bank. He claim
ed to have received the money Saturday
evening, from one of the raiders in St.
Johns. He Immediately hired carter
who took him to Longueil, where he cross
ed the st. Lawrence in skiff. closely pur-
sued by two of the government detectives
His hiding place was discovered Monday
evening, and squad of police sent after
him but the "reb" brandishing SEVEN
shooter in each hand threatened to kill
any one who should attempt his arrest
Chief Lamotte soon came on the ground,
and very quietly took the furious brigand
iuto custody. He will probably be
brought here and examined with his COM
rades.

Lributed among the three banks of st.
Adams:

THE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The counsel for the prisoners, yesterday
made motion to have the hearing trans
ferred to Montreal, but it was strenuously
opposed by Mr.. Edmunds, and refused by
Judge Coursol. There are obvious rea-
sons why the hearing and examination
should take place here; both on the
ground of economy and convenience to
the witnesses. and on account of the Sc
we're Confederate pressure that would be
brought to bear against our cause in Mon
treal. The Judge, though at great incon-
venience here, very properly denied the
motion, and here let me say word for
this courteous. able, and upright magis-
trate. a son-ln-law of the Premier of Can
ada, Sir f. P. Tache. He has attained
an excellent standing in his profession,
and some years has faithfully and sue
discharged the delicate and re-
sponsibie duties of his magistracy over
wide jurisdiction. The cause of justice
in this case could not have fallen into
better hands than Judge Coursol's. He
has won golden opinions from all engaged.
