TIE SUCCESS or SHERMAN AID TIE RoUT OF
HooD-CAEADA.
From The London News, Tee. e.
The American intelligence contained
In our columns this morning may be
considered, as regards the questions
which for the last month have been Of
most pressing interest as of decisive
character. It reports at once the ad-
mitted safety, If not the success Of
Sherman, and the rout of Hood : =
That these achievements should have
altogether turned away the attention of
the public from the result Of the hber-
alton of the raiders" IN Canada, was
however, not TO be expected There is,
in the comments of the American pa
pers on the subject, some Of that hasty
generalization Of which our own press
has not been guiltless, in which the I'M
authorized and unapproved act of an
Individual is imputed to the nation and
to the Government Gen Dix who is
IN command of the military defence,
has re-issued sefor7nal order, authors
ring his troops 10 shoot any persons who
may attempt to make again such an
attempt, and If they should escape, to
pursue and seize them in Canada. The
former part Of the order We are not
concerned with, though We may Oh
serve that ii Ia one fully justihable if
the raiders" are regarded as belliger-
ents, but quite contrary to Law and Gus
tom if they are looked upon as mere
robbers. The second part Of the order
we may hope will not be sanctioned by
the superior civil authority. That plea
which could alone warrant 1.-THE re-
fusal of the Canadian Government to
administer justice and observe the
duties of allies-has happily no foun-
dalton IN fact The Ministry has, on
the contrary, lost no time in dis
ayoWing the decision Of Judge Coursol
The Attorney-Ge General has issued fresh
warrants, and the police are again en-
desvoring to arrest the discharged
criminals The Government is report
ed to have appointed stipendiary mag
istrates on the frontier, expressly to
take cognizance Of the breaches of in
ternRtional law, and 10 have furnished
them with sufficient police force to sup.
port their authority. The Legislature
has also been summoned TO meet on
the 18th Of january. These measures
will probably, az soon as they are known
10 the American public, suffice to re-
move natural irritation But We
must repeat that their vigorous execu.
ton is a duty we owe 20 ourselves even
more than 70 our neighbors We are
bound 10 show the example of doing
a. we would be done by, and as ne
have in former times uttered keen re-
monstTanoes, and even resorted to &C
tual force, when an enemy used neutral
soil 20 prepare Vaccinations against US,
it IS imperative that we should now
vindicate our fair dealing and main
tain eur friendly character by prohib
iting absolutely the abuse Of our pro
lection for the purpose of directing
treacherous violence against the inhab
itsnts of bordering and allied State.
We should expect France to do thus
much for US II we were unheppily at war
with America, and Americans plotted
and directed from Calais expeditions
TO sack Brighton OF burn has ingsi
And it is clear that what we should
regard - the duty Of France in such a
case, would be still more her duty If the
war were made upon our seaboard, not
by a foreign nation, but by our own
subjects in revolt This is the Ameri-
cvn case a. present, and there must be
10 hesitation in our doing to them the
justice which we should look for from
every friendly Power if the case were
our own.
