SMUGGLING ON THE CANADIAN FRONT.
1ER.-Hardly day passes but somewhere
along the frontier goods are smuggled over.
Silk patterns, laces, shawls, mems broad.
cloths and other fine goods present tempting
bats to smugglers, and large quantities Ger.
tainly find their. way from Canada 70 the;
States without paying duty. Sarnis is Q
favorite point of crossing for smugglers,
but they cross all along the frontier be.
tween Sarnia and Ogsdeubufg. One active
branch of traffic is in liquor, the very high
tax on which offer enormous profits to the
successful parties. Even respectable ladies
are found taking the character of smugglers
and engaging in the work of dsfrauding
the Government. '
The Ogdensburg Journal states that two
most respectable ladies Of that town have
been arraigued for smuggling. The high
prices of clothing in the States are taking
numbers from this city and from other places
near the frontier to Canada to purchase their
winter clothing. Several stores in Hamil.
ton, etc., have enjoyed an extensive patron
age of that character lately. In the little
village of Windsor opposite Detroit, mo less
than eight large clothing stores have lately
been opened. A coat costing SIS here can
be bought in Canada for $50 or sS5 in gold;
ssy s44 or $50 in currency; q suits worth
Si00 here can be got there S46, say $67 in
our money; boots sl2 here, can be had for
s6, say SO of our money, and other things
in like proportion. This being the case, q
considerable saving is experienced by pur-
obasers, after paying their expenses to Can.
ada and back.
The Secretary of the Treasury, however,
seems determined to break up the. SNUG
Cling which is carried on to such large
extent. The collectors have resolved in-
-structions to compel the payment OF duties
on articles of clothing purchased in Canada
by persons. residing on this side, and in case
Of refusal to pay the legal duties to prose.
cute for the penalty. 1t is announced by
telegraph from Washington that in view. OF
the large amount Of smuggling Of silks, Ia.
ces, furs, &c., from Canada into the States,
which is done principally by women, and
this city being the principal depository, the
Government has decided to appoint anum.
ber Of female detectives to search suspicious
women who may arrive from Canada.

Lord Palmerston; and had there not been

thought Of war under any circumstances is

iustitiable to anticipate others and to avert

Hicting it on them.

On the surface of two square miles, it
was ascertaiued that fifty thousand men and
horses were lying! The luxurious crop OF
ripe grain which had covered the field OF
battle, was reduced to litter and beaten into
the earth, and the surface, trodden down
by the cavalry and furrowed deeply by the
cannon wheels, strewed with many a relic
of the fight. Hemlets and euirasses, shat.
tered firearms and broken swords; all the
variety of military ornaments, lance,
caps and Highland bonness; uniforms of
every color, plumes and peuons; musical
instruments, the apparatus of artillery,
drums, bugles; but why dwell on the har-
rowing picture of foughten field leach
and every ruinous display bore mute testi-
mony to the misery of such battle.

scene of death be heightened, it would be

10 many places the dead lay four deep

British square had occupied, exposed for
hours to the murderous fire Of French
battery. Outside, lance cuirassiers were
scattered thickly on the earth. ,Madly at,

That its greatest ravageS and most fearful

ImMIaRAT1oN.-The immigration TO A.
merica from the countries Of Europe, which
experienced little diminution during the
continuance of hostilities between the two
sections of the Union, has, apparently, re-
ceived fresh impetns from the close Of the
war and the restoration Of tranquility. II
We consider the inducements held ont 70
immigrants By the scarcity Of labor, both
North and South, in consequence Of The
destruction Of life during the xsr, and the
vast quantity of cheap land in the South
that has been, and Twill lfheresfter be, thrown
upon the market, il is reasonable to expect
that the immigration Of 1865 will far ex-
ceed that Of this or any former year. There
are homes and remuneratiye work for T.
600, 600 Of industrious foreigners in. the
South, and we hope before the next harvest
to see the great tide Of foreign immigration
setting hitherward. From the general re:
port of last weeks regular session Of the
New York Commissioners of Emigration,
We learn that the number Of immigrants
shas hsd arrived n Now York Between the

The Kansas Baletln is discussing the pr

The Kansas Bulletn is discussing the pro
priety of putting the whites andnegroes upon an
equal footing in the United States, and especially
in the State of Kansas. 1t argues that slave
labor enriched the South. and that the labor Of
the freed slaves and their emigration to the free
States, would necessarily enrich the North. As
an experiment, We would be in favor Of letting
the people of Kansas try it first. Let them
fill up their State with all the contrabands they
may desire, and then give the blacks an equal
show with themselves, for period say of one
hundred years and then if at the end of that
time the system is found to work well. let the
area of freedom, miscegenation and social equal
ity be extend throughout the national domain.
If Kansas, underthis new order of things should
become wealthy, prosperous and happy, she
would stand first in the catalogue of philan-
thropy and greatness and if borne down and
crushed by the weight of a black and iniquitous
system, other communities and States would
not be dragged down to the same condition.
We think these suggestions of ours ought to re-
ceye some degree of consideration by the loyal
press. Several of the Kansas journals are in
favor of this negro and white equality in their
State, and it is probable that majority of the
7eople there are also in favor of it, and if so.
.hy not encourage them to try the experiment
It would be the means Of solving the great
blem of 'Freedom and the universal equality
.eraces"-a question that is puzzling the
ted brains ofall our radical population
", our plan into practice, the world
learn wisdom from it, and if not
o0 .tlarge, then at least that portion of
world which comprises the State of Kansas.
