The Fenians in Canada.

There is much excitement in Canada at the
present time in relation to the movements of
the Catholics. Many fear mobs and RIO 8,
whilea few timid ones think there is some dan
ger OF arevolution; we are not aware that
the French Catholics are active in these move
ments. They are not fighting characters, bnt
| quiet and easily manipulated by the priests in
TO almost any form, and the priests are not
very bellicose. They like peace, good living
and the control of their followers. But the
Irish Catholics are more restless, not SO easily
controlled and have more fight in them. s9ao ai
No doubt they have secret organizations
and George N. Sanders and Jacob Thomp-
son and other secessionists have been at work
with them, and endeavoring to make them in
struments in their hands, ofgetting up war
between this country and England. In such
a war at this lime they are told that "Ould
ireland" could obtain her Independence
Such appeals stir the blood Of Young Ireland
make it rush furiously through their veins.
Besides. Irishmen have been taught to hate
the negroes, especially since they left their ma
tive land and came to this continent. No
doubt Sanders and others have sexhansted all
their resources Of statesmanship," to rouse
Young Ireland to lighting pitch. They are
quite ready to enter iRto any kind of an i'm
practicable plot, but "iuvenile Pat usually
breaks down when he comes to put his plans
in execution" Such is one Of his peculiar
characteristics, and we believe Sanders and
company will find it 30. Matters have now
arrived at such pitch in Canada, and public
opinion has recently become so much enlight-
! enea on certain subjects that the danger from
Tue remains, is not SO alarming as many have
feared.

Froceedings of the Rebel Cofgress-Speech
~ Senator FOotc.
NUxr- Tlon IN
NEW YORK, Dee. 2


In the rebel House of Representatives on
Saturday, resolutions were offered in favor of
sending commissioners to Washington for the
restoration Of peace. 1t was stated that Gen.
Grant had granted permission to such commits
sioners to pass his lines. nv ~
Mr.. Foote, In the rebel Senate, in speech
on the currency bill, announced his withdraw
al from that body in disgust. Hesaid that the
Confederacy was on the verge OF ruin, and
that Congress was building up an irresponsi-
bic military despotism, the ike OF which was
never before seen on earth. s Its policy seemed
to be to crush out dissatisfaction By armed vi
olence. Ten days hence freedom of delibera-
ton would be effectuaiy extinguished In that
body. The unjust, unwise and criminal dis
placement of Johnston from the army of the
Tennessee, and the transfer of the army to
Nashville, have opened all southern Georgia,
South Carolina and Alabama to the army OF
Sherman. Fort McAllister has fallen, Savan-
nah is about to fall, and the fate of Charleston
only seems deferred q few days latef.0 Hoods
army had already met with disaster at Frank
lin, and in his (Foote's} judgment, was fatally
compromised The Presidents Interference
was the cause ofiall these dire misehefs, and
is the result of the unfortunate battle of Muir
freesboro', and the more disastrous one of
Missionary Ridge, Should Hoods army, be
destroyed, an event which he feared was too
probable, and Sherman come round to this vi
cinity 10 ships, which he Foote) did not doubt
he intends, what wi be the fate of Richmond.

A Splendid Demonstration.

4 City Hall was crowded last evening to its
utmost capacity. The Ladies' Christian Com
mission and Maine Camp Hospital association
gave our citizens last evening an entertain
nent which will not soon be forgotten, and its
good effects win reach far into the future.-
The spirit of true patriotism animated the
Ladies first and then the masses were awaken.
ed, purses were opened and thousand fiecked
to the hall to do something for our brave
soldiers who are battling for the Nations life,
and they are bound to save It under such lead
ers as they now have. God bless the Ladies.
1t was "big thing "a very big thing-the
biggest thing we ever saw In our City Hall.
The proscenium was filed with boys and
girls, some six hundred, under the lead of Mr..
Gardiner. The girls made brilliant appear
ance In their white dresses and wreaths, and
the music they discoursed was excellent. The
young lads also performed their parts in fine
style. and the waving ofhundreds of miniature
flags showed the spirit that animated their
young hearts.
The Kitchen--what shall we say of that ?
There were old heads and young hearts. We
were most politely and graciously served by .
young lady whose dress. was ancient, but beauti-
flu, and her symmetrical form and graceful mo-
lions made us thank Heaven that woman was
made. We call no names. And there was d
tall lady whose costume was rich, ancient and
bewitching. And then the powdered hair SO
gracefully rolled up over a fine Grecian fore
head, and the sparkling eyes, and teeth white
as pearls, but we call no names. While drink

The tables didn't they groan under the
weight of baked beans, brown bread and boiled
victuals? They did SO, and the ladies in
their grandmother's costumes with smiles and
pleasant speech drew the currency from many
wallet, while the old lady was making the
old spinning wheel discourse fine old fashioned
music, and twisting out some excellent stock

Death Of DR.. Winslnw.

Intelligence has been received of the death
OF Myron Winslow, D. D LII. D. He sailed
from Madras, India, last summer for this coun-
try via England, and died at the Cape OF Good
Hope, aged SO. Both his brothers have died
within few months. Rev. Gordon Winslow
was drowned on the Potomac last Summer.
and Rev. Hubbard Winslow died In New
York city last August For 45 years DR.. Nv
ron Winslow has been in the service of the
American Board Of missions and has long
filed positions of trust and honor in India.
His scholarship and lahors have rejected
much honor on his native land. His greatest
achievement, the Tamil Lexicon, stands at
the head Of all missionary literary labors.-
Te accomplish this work he devoted several
hours day for nearly thirty years. 1t is
printed In fine style, contains one thousand
pages quarto, and sikty-eight thousand words
translated into English. "This language is
exceedingly beautiful; possessing different
shades OF meaning, richness, imagery and
sharpness almost unknown to the Western

From Havana.

4 kRs5c raA = New YORK, Dec. o. A
The steamer Columbia brings Havana dates
of the I7th. The steamer Alexandria, now
called the Mary, has been seized at Nassau for
violation of the neutrality laws, being an
armed vessel, but she would probably be re-
leased. saqegq ggs-aisaeian 10 sbAiA ~ paagi
President Lincoln's message is criticized
unfavorably by the Havana Diario. The block
ade runner Ptarmingan which went out of Ha-
vana, broke down and was obliged to return
for repairs.
The Houston telegraph announces officially
the seizure of the u. S. steamer Sonora, while
on her way to New Orleans from Santiago, on
the 18Th ult. The English blockade running
schooner alabama was captured OFF Calves
ton on the 7th inst. Eight vessels were block
aiding Galveston. Negotiations were going on
there for the exchange OF 500 Union prisoners
at Camp Grace, Texas.

Passports,

The system Of requiring passports from all
travellers entering the United States by land,
will greatly interfere with intercourse on the
canadian frontier. Such is the opinion Of the
EDITOR of the Montreal Witness, and yet he
says the people OF Canada cannot complain of
Fsucn restriction on travel and the business
'faoSae'ions on. the borders, seeing the dan
ger OF just such raids as that on st. Albans,
and the IMMUNITY of raiders when they return
to Canada, the base of their operations. Thus
Ii ever is in this world, thousands are CON.
PEELED to suffer Inconvenience, tropble and loss
for season, from the evil conduct of afew dis
contented and unprincipled men. And this
EDITOR remarks, "the strangest thing is. that
there Is 9 class among us who sympathise
w'sh' applaud and defend those individuals!

The Herald has details of Sherman's grand
march through Georgia. His army moved
800 miles, devastating forty. two counties, and
capturing 1000 prisoners, 10, O0O negroes, 10.
600 horses and thirty pieces OF artillery. He
lost not a gun, and his entire casualties are
only 1900 men. Fitzpatrick defeated Wheeler
in 2 skirmish near Macon and would have
easily taken that city had Sherman desired it.
The rebel resistance at 0conee Bridge
caused but few hours delay, AT Griswod-
vile. where the rebels were reported to have
repulsed US, one of our brigades, Walcott's, of
the 18th corps, defeated three rebel brigades
under Gen. Phillips, we losing only thirty
seven men and the rebels nearly 400. The
rebel militia stood fifteen minutes, though the
battle lssted four hours, our forces constantly
following up the flying toe.
There was not real serious battle during
the whole march. Oar cavalry was not at
any time repulsed, nor was Fitzpatrick hurt
He had several small fights, but still wears
the same hat with which he started from At
