S"u,hern u. fuse '- in Canad :.

The carouse held by Southern ref
ugees and sympathisers in the chief
hotel mt Toronto, on the reception of
the news of Mr.. Lincoln's assassina
tion, ha, been appropriately rebuknd
by the Canadian press, with but Il
very few disgraceful exceptions. 1t
appears that clergyman was among
their number, and that he openly ex-
ulted in the murder. This infamous
conduct has gone far toward opening
the eyes of the Canadians to the real
character ol the rebel emissaries and
agents in that province, and these
persons now stand exhibited in their
real character. The Toronto Globe
says of them:
"They have abused the asylum af
forded them by plotting and execu-
ting raids into the United States -
They have thereby involved us in u
world OF trouble and vast expense.
Not satisfied with the evil resulting
to us from the st, Albans raids, they
have had during the whole winter n
scheme in progress to fit out from a
Canadian port vessel armed and
equipped for the work of destroying
American vessels upon the lakes. 1t
is but few days since arms and other
warlike stores were found concealed
in the house of one of these fugitives
in Toronto. II their plots should
succeed, they would involve us in
further expense and further trouble
with our neighbors. When we know
that Southern refugees are engaged
in such mischief, we do not feel hound
