Neutrality.

Our neutral neighbors" in Cana
da are pouring "their Walls of wrath
and Indignation" on the American
people with all the vehemence in their
power. They visit upon our Govern
ment the responsibility of the Fenian
organization upon this continent, rs
well in Canada as upon our own soil.
They certainly ought to be able to
discern "the beam" in their own eye
before pointing out "the mote" in
ours. Should the Canadian Govern
ment ever be subverted and new one
built upon its ruins, it will be
done by the immediate influence of its
own subjects who have wit
messed its ingratitude and its atroc-
tiles towards the United Statesmen
who have despaired of ever elevating
it to the standard of mediocrity
among the nations Of the earth, and
especially men who have all the nee
essary qualifications, but never have
been able to avert "the strong arm
of British oppre ,sion and tyranny and
to occupy positions which their excel
lence and otherwise commanding tai
ents would entitle them These men
are not so foolhardy as to pirate OF
their strength or even declare theil
real sentiments until the time of ac-
ton comes. Then the monster will
show itself. Then "the house" will bC
divided against itself. The soldiers
alike with the civilians will remember
their fatherland. They will cling t,
each other with the same affection
and the same tenacity as members c
the same household. They will re
member the inflexible cords that hav
bound their countrymen sin duranc
vile," and, with Herculean strength
will strive to sever them.
John Bull may "roar and below
but he cannot intimidate. He ma
shake his "bovine head" and exhib
his lofty horns, but he can do II
harm when they are liable to be di.
severed by the discordant elemer
around him, which is grasping thei
'as with n giants might" There
no danger of any breach of neutralit
on the part of the United State
That Government cares nothing f
the Canadas. That is "a clever dodg,
to undertake to revive the old pref
dices between the United States al
Great Britain, and thus undertake
allay the excitement BY what ,
have ventured to say, we do not met
to express an opinion that there W
be any serious rupture in Canada

RE-ORGANIzATION OFTHE "BLUEs.'
James A. Saunders, ESQ.,, has received
authority and instructions from the
Governor to re-organize the Light rtil-
lery Blues of this city, under the militia
ref equations adopted for the state by His
Excellency; and we understand the re-
organization will be perfected as speedi-
ly as possible. This is a very old mill
tary company, and served in the recent
war with distinction, under Captain
Grandy. Many of the former members,
1t is expected, will enroll themselves for
duty in the new organization.

ALMOST A FIRE. Yesterday after
noon, about 8 o'clock, q dense volume Of
smoke was discovered issuing from the

vas done to the premises, a policeman
on duty a the place, entered and ex-
tinguished some light wood which had
been imprudently placed upon the stove
to dry. The lire Department turned
out with their usual promptness, but no
necessity was found for their services.
