THE FEELING IN CANADA.

hardly think there is quite so strong
feeling for giving up the prisoners here.
as appeared Saturday. Many of the
leading citizens of st. Johns secretly and
some openly sympathize with the raiders
A Mr.. Mcdonald, belonging to one of the
wealthiest families, is reported to have
said yesterday. that "all he was sorry for
was that the rebels did not burn st. Al
bans" On the other hand, such well
known and energetic citizens as Chas. 5.
Pierce, Geo. I. Morehouse. A. B. Chaffee
Nelson Mott, C. Wilkerson and j. L. Ho-
gle ale loud in their condemnation of the
outrage, and being warm sympathizels
with the Union cause, fervently hope that
the robbers may be given up. Montreal
is full of the Confederate "softer sex. !"
They eviuced their sympathy for the
young desperadoes in confinement by
sending them out last evening some forty
or fifty boxes of delicacies, liquors, &C.,
all of which will no doubt, contribute to
make for the raiders, very respectable
Confederate jollifcation.
In delightful contrast with these mis-
cradle tokens of secession sympathy in
Canada, is the out-spoken manly tone of
Hon. James O'Halloran, M. ?. P for
Mississippi County, an old Burlington
boy" and graduate of the University
Of Vermont Mr.. O'Halloran is an at
torney of fine talent and enjoys very
lucrative practice. In reply to query
the other day as to whether he would not
be retained as counsel for the raiders, he
said, The scoundrels have not stolen mon
ey enough yet from the banks, to get me
to plead their cause"

1t is stated this morning by reliable
gentlemen, well informed, as to the state
of affairs in the provinces, and knowing
the plans of the Confederate agents,
that about ttUo thousand of the most
trusty and efficient soldiers have been de-
tatched from the various veteran rcgi-
ments of the Confederate army and made
their way to Canada to- participate in
guerrilla expeditions which are now pre-
pairing within its borders. G.. H. B.

LARGE SHEEP.-We are informed that
Washington Blake, of Wolcott, killed a
year-old eve sheep, last week. The
carcass weighed 100 lbs, and the tallow
after being strained weighed 40 IL lbs.
The pelt sold for $3.50.
A butcher in this town doubts the
above, but we have good reasons for be-
lleviug that ALI true.

THE COMING ELECTION.

The most important presidential election
that the people of the United States ever
held, will take place on Tuesday next.
The issue, as it seems to us, is union or
disunion; for the platform and creed ad-
opted by the so called Democratic party
at the Chicago Convention breathes no
, loyal sentiments or anything to indicate
that union loving men were the trainers
Of that document, or were leaders in the
movement. Some Of the leaders are meD
who have come out and openly avowed
that they never voted for man or a dol
lar to put down the rebellion, and that
they never would. Of such men and such
sentiments, let all who do love their coun-
try, and love to seeit prosperous and hap
by, beware. There are men in Vermont
who uphold the infamous scheme of ruin
ing our country, and one, our acomld be
democratic governor, when, on being tele-
graphed to for counsel by band of MUIR
derers and bandits, was so much inclined
to act in their behalf that he started and
would have gone had he not changed his
mind on arriving at the depot. This was
a gross insult to the State that Yer
monter should be even asked to suecor
and keep from the hand of justice, men
who committed such damnable crimes as
those which transpired at St. Adams two
weeks since ,... ,
,. What a contrast there is between the
men who uphold, and the platforms which
represent the conventions held at Balti-
more ,anl Chicago, One is striving to
force upon the people an administration
E, that will carry out the scheme of disolv-
! ing the Union; while on the other hand,
the manifestation at Baltimore expresses
fundoubted fidelity to the Union and
strong loyal sentiment
The men nominated at those conven-
yentions are men calculated to uphold and
carry out the doctrines and platforms they
were placed upon, else they would not
have been nominated. But we will not

New YORK, Oct. 29th.

New YORK, Oct. 29th.
Gen. Dix has issued an order stating
that satisfactory information has reached
him that rebel agents in Canada design
to send into the United States large num-
bers of refugees, deserterr and enemies of
the government to vote at the Presiden-
tial election, and it is not unlikely that
they will subsequently be organized to
shoot respectable citizens and plumber
public property. He says such persons
are liable to punishment. and no efforts
will be spared to arrest them. All pro-
vost marshals and deputies are charged
to detect such parties, and electors are
recommended to take measures for their
own security and to aid the authorities
in bringing rebel emisaries to Punishment
Effective measures will be taken to pre-
vent their return into Canada.

THE ST. ALBANS RAID.

most maze THIS quaint Canadian Vlllag'
worthy of place alongside of such hubs
Of the universe as Boston, Essex Junction
and Port Kent Every hotel is running
over with guests, and even the citizens
have opened their doors to accommodate
strangers, judges, attorneys. bank officers
Federals, and Confederates are all gath
cred together here, watching with intense
interest the progress of the hearing il
the case of the st. Adams robbers.
The preliminary inquiry into the facts
in connection with the raid, commenced
in the Court House. at 10 A. NJ, Monday
The first and only witness examined was
Cyrus N. Bishop, Teller of the st. Adams
bank. His direct examination occupied
the entire day. He identified two of the
prisoncrs-Collins and Spur as among
the parties who entered the Bank.
THE IDENTIFICATION.
Yesterday, a large number of witnesses
arrived from st. Adams for the purpose
of identifying the prisoners as being con-
cerned in the raid. Though the examina-
ton for Identification was of strictly
private character, none being admitted
but the Judge and the counsel. we were,
through the favor Of Judge Coursol, per-
mitted to be present.
At IL A. NJ, the 18th. prisoners were
brought into room near the gaol proper,
and being arranged in sort of semi-cir-

them the witnesses we're introduced one

In no instance did they fail to identify at
least two of the parties, save one, Nj.

sisted that one of the worthy constables
was a raider" A hearty laugh followed
the blunder of the over-con6dent Mr., Con-
ger, whose discomposure was evidedent-
ly relished by the very jolly prisoners.
APPEARANCE OF THE RAIDERS.
The appearance of the prisoners them
selves, as soon as we had good view of
them, dispelled all ideas we might ever
had of their being Federal deserters, bent
on murder and rapine. They are all
manifestly Southern in looks and hehav-
ior; all young men, the oldest not over
%; good looking and seemingly happy
and careless; they could be very we'll tax
en- for band of " college boys" on a
"bender," hauled up before justice for
reprimand. They looked frank and mus
cular enough to be worthy sons of the
Hunters of Kentucky" and it hardly APP
pears possible that they could have been
engaged in the nefarious work they had
just finished. Not one of them shows
the least sign of dependency. They are
all confident that English law will soon
release them from the felon's cell. and
even as we approached the Court House
in the morning, we could hear them sing
ing loudly, "Annie of the Vale" and
kindred melodies.
