ington we repaired to our reception
camp, and thus ended our last raid.
As matter of course we were al
very tired, having been in the saddle
constantly from the 2lst of Nov. S64
to the End of Jan. 1865, during which
time we had marched, climbed, slid
waded and charged no less than zoo
miles; and this through the rough and
mountainous country of Eastern Ken
tuoky and Tennessee and West Virgin

whole year, an average of % miles a
day, Our men stood the trip remark
ably well. Col. BROWN and DIR. WooD-
MAN both stood it well, rs did also the
balance of our officers. / fatted on it,
as weigh ten pounds more now than

Our proceedings will speak for them
selves. All that took part in the expe-
dition, now that we have returned. are
well satisfied with the results. Every
man, from the Generals to the last prii-
yatc, deserve the thanks Of the nation.
Some are paid in a more substantial
manner, as the annexed copy of doc
ument received by our worthy Col, will
prove. 1t is as follows: ~

Scalded Meal.

The nutriment afforded to animals
by seeds and roots, depends upon the
rupture of all the globules which con-
stitute their meal or flour. These
globules vary in different roots, tuhers
and seeds. Those of potato starch,
for instance, are usually from fifteen
ten thousandths, to the four,thousandth
part of an inch; those of wheat rarely
exceed the two-thousandth part of an
inch, and so on. From experiments
made on those globules by NJ. Raspail,
the author of "Organic Chemistry"
and NJ. Blot, of the French Academy
of Sciences, the following conclusions
have been drawn:
/. That the globules constituting
meal, flour and starch, whether CON
tanned i'll grain or roots, are incapable
of affording any nourishment as ami
NAL food until they are broken,
2. That no mechanical method of
breaking or grinding is more than par
TALLY efficient. g.
3. That the most efficient means
of breaking the globules is by heat, by
fermentation, or by the chemical agen-
cy Of acids or alkalies. sr,
A. That the dcxtrine, which is the
kernel as it were, of each globule, is
alone soluble, and therefore alone nu-
tritive. f... .,
s. That the SHELLS of the globulcs,
when reduced to fragments by mocha
nism or heat, are insoluble, and there
fore not nutritivc. .t
6. That though the fragments of
these shells are not nutritive, they are
to digestion, either from
their distending the stomach, or from
some other cause not understood; it
having been found by experiment that
nourishment, such as SUI
gar, or essence cf beef, cannot long
sustain life, without some mixture Of
coarser or less nutritive food.
z. That the economical prepara-
ton of all food containing globules or
fecula, consists in perfectly breaking
the shells, and rendering the dcxtrine
in them soluble and digesti-
BILE, while the fragments of the shells
are at the same time rendered more
bulky, so as the more readily to fill the
stomach. Mass. Ploughman, 7

a music hall, in Dundee, Scotland, by
which about 90 lives were lost, was the
result of an insufficient entrance to the

door to gain sdmission. The hall was
at the bottom of a flight of stairs, and
the gate at the head of the stairs being
forced open by the pressure, the people
,noxt to the gate were pushed in mess
down the stairs, and those behind pres
tsed upon and overthrow them. Be-
fore the pressure could be stayed, con-

The hurley Case. &.
The Judgment Of Recorder Drusgaa-The
Tei onto Globe on the Question.

A. . 4. ---I 4
The Toronto Globe uses the follow,
/ ing sensible language in reference TO
the late decision in the Burley case:
"The judgment Of Mr.. Recorder
Duggan having gone against the pris-
oner Burley, the pro-rebel prints and
sympathizers in this Province have be-
come seriously alarmed for the safety
of his clients. 1t looks veryl mach in.
deed as though the whole lot of'treach-
erious murderers and robbers were to
be surrendered to justice. They do
not like the appearance oftlings at all.
They had persuaded themselves that
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, might, avail, him-
self of our territory to make depreda,
ton on the neighhoring states when-
ever he pleased, and that We were pow
erless to prevent him. But they find
out their mistake. They-aie preparing
for tho worst and their tactics are easy
to be perceived. They labor hard Of
course to persuade Canadians that it is
their duty to protect the men who have
SO grossly violated the laws of hospital
ity, to their own dishonor and to our
great 'detiiment They would raise if
they could, a false public sentiment in
their behalf, akin to that which made
of common cut-throats and thieves like
Jack Sheppard and Claud Duval, he-
roes and martyrs. They hoped the
law would be on their side, or that the
judges, by the force Of public opinion,
would be coerced into selvioe under
them. Having failed in this, they take
desperate measures. If they can only
make the people believe that these raid
ers are the victims Of oppression, that
our Government has been frightened
by Mr., Seward, and that, they in turn
have frightened the judges, then there
is still hope that His ExcelIency the
Governor General may yet beprevent
issuing his warrant ordering the ex-
tradition. Mr.. Recorder Duggan nat,

Special Dispatch to the Advertiser and Tribune.
TORONTO, G. W., Jan.G27.-lThe fin
al decision was given in, the Burley
eXtradition case to-day. His counsel,
rs your readers have already been in-
formed, obtained a writ Of heJeas corpus
w hhOii was llldic TcJtTudulc DeIOrc tn6
Court Of Queens Bench on Tuesday
last. On this day the case was argued,
the speeches occupying six hours. The
Court reserved its decision till to-day.
The case created considerable excite
ment, and large crowd assembled to
hear the opinion of Chief Justice Dra-
per, who presided. There were present
Chief Justice Draper and Justice Hag-
gerty, and two Judges of the Court of
Common Pleas. JrYsbuqu.e
The opinion of the Chief Justice was
rendered about IL O'clock, and he held
that Burlev was guilty of robbery, and
should properly be tried for that crime
in the United States. The other Judg-
les unanimously concurred in the rdecis-
ion.
Burley was remanded to Jail to
await the action Of the Governor Gen.
eral, who will of course order him to be
sent across the border for trial. linn
The decision had manifest effect
upon the cOuntenances of the many
rebels who thronged the Court Room,
and they were naturally very indignant.
