Fort Desaix, where they were to remain
during the time the transport continued
in port, with permission to go into the
town in companies of IS to 80 men. The
Same"dav II the afternoon, the mixed
transport Far from Mexico, with about
go men of various regiments going home
to France, having served their time, also
arrived at Fort de France, and The men
were put in barracks in Fort Desalx.
On the next day in the morning the
Zouavcs began to show signs Of insub-
ordination, demanding leave TO go into
the town all together, and complaining OF
the high price of the wine and charges
in the canteens of the Fort. Later in the
day The dissatisfaction rose TO q mutlny.
The men threw themselves upon the
guard consisting Of a company of the 1st
regiment Of marine infantry, disarmed
the few men taken unawares, and threw
them outside Of the railing of the en-
trance, and shut the gates against them,
thus getting possession of some 20 mus
ktts. The guard fell back upon the
drawbridge, where they held their ground
without their arms, until Joined by others.
An eye witness of what followed says
"the aft .ir seems to have been occasloned
by the refusal TO allow more than 25
men to go into the town at the same
time. Added to this was some complaint
about their pay. The company of ma
rine infantry on guard, having refused TO
allow them to pass, the latter made a
sudden rush upon them, knocked them
down, and forced them outside of the
fort, SEEING about 90 carbines. The
Zouaves then attempted to get out, but
the company rallied outside with the cap
tain at their head, charged them with the
bayon~t, and stretched out a dozen on
the square ; which gave time for others
to come up to their assistance. Had they
used grape, they would have gone back

found which did not leave the mark of nails arranged in a diamond.
Trpddock seemed as badly perplexed from the want of a footprint as did
Robinson Crusoe with the one he pot. We came, here and there, upon
the fns labourers, busIy at work; but Treddock told me they were

observed, and, as I was led to infer, not without a little suspicion, when
I arrived in the forenoon. Negative answers were invariably given to
nv friends inquiries; no strange persons had been seen about the place.
The workmen looked like Jolly fellows, not of the sort to indulge in ma
lice of this kind, and the terms they appeared to be on with their master
seemed very satisfactory; while to judge from their manner when aHud-

himself at this style of doings and any offender who feH. into their hands

treatment.
Treddock showed me the field in which the animals had been killed;
and certainly it was difficult to see how any mScreant could have escaped
being seen eitherin approaching or in retiring, even if not caught the act,

could not help my thoughts now and then suggesting that the enemy must
be among the men themselves, however innocent they all looked, but l did
not mention that idea again to Treddock. AS we rambled about Tom

great dsrespect, declaring they were the pest OF a farmers lie, promls'
ing them traps, ferrets, diggingsout, Shootngs, and l know not what.
The prospects of sport were altogether decidedly better than L had n
icipated, if it had not been for the permrbing affair of these malicious
depredatons, which put thoughts of mere pleasure out OF the question.
But for all of that, Treddock persisted in saying l should ride with MIN

THERE is NO DEATH.

There is no DEATH The stars 90 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens ieweled crown
They shine for evermore.
There is no deathl The dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
10 golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death! The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead"
lie leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose Joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees n smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With Joy we welcome them-tho same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless Universe
Is life-there is no dead.

Britain should only be just to the United States,
Canada will remain undisturbed by us so lorg
as she prefers the authority of the noble queen
to voluntary incorporation into the United

right.") What shall tell the King OF Prussia
will tell the King of Prussia that the Germans
have been faithful to the standard OF the Un-
ion, as his excellent minister, Baron Gerolt, has
been constant in his friendship to the United
States during his long residence in this coun-
try. (Cheers.) To the Emperor Of Austria
shall say that he has proved himself very wise
man, for he told us in the beginning that he
had no sympathy with rebellion anywhere
(Cheers)
do not doubt, fellow citizens, but that at
least you accede to the theory by which l have
governed myself during the war, namely, that
the rebellion will end in ninety days. (Cheers
and aughter.) l have thought this the true
theory, because never knew physician able
to restore his patient to health unless he tho't
he could work cure under the most unfavor-
able circumstances in ninety days. (Renewed
laughter.) Finally, if the American people APP
prove, will say that our motto in peace shall
he what our text has beer in war. Every ma
ton is entitled to regulate its own domestic
affairs in its own way, and all are bound to
conduct themselves so as to promote peace on
earth and good will to mankind.

wicked rebellion, for the continued health of
President Lincoln, and the speedy extinction
of every vestige of slavery from the great

AFRENCH REBUs ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS
A French journal recently exhausted its inge-
nuity by giving its readers what is styled an
"American Rebus," which we translate :
Hurrah for The Old Union
Secession Is a curse
We fight for The Constitution
The Contederacy Is an internal league
We love Free discussion
Rebellion Is treason
We glory in The liberty of the press
Separation Will not be tolerated
We cherish The old flag
The Southern cross Is Haunting lie
Death 10 Jefferson Davis
Abe Lincoln Is our leader
Down with State Rights
Law and Order Will triumph
Long live Universal freedom
Negro Slavery Cannot exist.

creed of the rebels the two read rogether
