The military news La very scarce tonight.
Col. Baker, commanding the front Of st.
Louis, has just returned from Walt to
Fsabklin County, which is ROW IN his dis
trict, and reports deplorablc state Of affairs
existing in that county, caused BY the 1ste
visit OF the rebe1s. The Confederate soldiers
swept the country like swar1n Of locusts,
aptropriating to their Own use three thon
saId horses and mules, and leaving in their
stead twelve hundred broken down animals,
re-. MAR "crow-baiss." During their occ1,-
patton of the county they killed over sixty
ci.!zens. Cal Gale had called ont every able
b. died man in the county, youths and old
mtn not excepted. But now that the crisis
has nassed, Col Baker has ordered
these who had heretofore been recognized as
txempts 10 be released from military duty,

in part caused By the discomfort in Upper
Cansda, at the inequality Of representation
and taxation existing bttween the Two PROV
irces~ The administration OF the day, like
Ike those preceding It, find themselves an.
able to cs1y On the Government, and they
have therefore, advocated and recommended
the confederation as the only remedy. NeY-
erthelees the French in the lower province
are yer, much opposed to the measure, and
threaten violence rather thao agree to Its
adoption.
AnotbeE cause Is tue confessed Inability Of
The British Government to defend the Can
adas in the event Of ,war With
this country. The London Tss.es has
warned the Canadas that II attacked
they must take care OF themselves, as
all the red-coats Great Britain could sesd to
their defense would be consumed il oae
euch battle as General Grant fights. Gold
w5n Smith and other English writer's have
advocated the ertire separation OF the trncs-
Atlantic colonies from the Mother Country
as an uc,na1 benefit to the latter, aud this
seems . be the dceire OF the British nation.
There is nothing left for the Canadians.
therefore, but to eet mp for themselves. acd
they have reached the first step in " how to
do it." The scheme adopted, as briefly de-
tailed in the dispatch, will assuredly be
fonnd TO bear upon its face points tor bitter
opposition among the people Of Canada, With

Representatives in the lower house Of tue
Fedt1ul Legielature are to be according to
population, periodically re-arEanged. The
Constitution will be such TINT the chief
power Will reside in the Central Legislarure.
The Provinces will have few separate rights.
It 1s decided that the whole scheme shall be
submitted to the existing Parliaments, In all
the colonies, without direct reference to
the people, which is very summary measure,
rs none Of the Parllsments were elected with
l,tures will Lot necessarily be alike In

whether the local Government shall be nom

3ieved that Ottawa will be the seat Of the
