CANADIAN BULL BUNs.-A CORES
pondent of the Boston Journal, writing
from Montreal, says:
In 1861 the people of the Northern
States had to bear the gibes Of England
and Canada because of the panic of Bull
Run. The soldiers who made haste from
that we'll fought battlefield to Centerville,
were called towards and paltroons; and
just now the Canadians are having their
Bull Runs on small scale. The @Queen's
Own" which fought very well for time.
were seized with panic at Ridgeway, and
ran Ia miles to Port Colborne, Col.
Booker leading the retreat, and the Fe-
mans at the same time being on the point
of retreating. Very like Bull Run. The
Canada East has had her Bull Run on a
smaller scale, to be sure, but still run.
/ tell the story as given by member of
Parliament from the Eastern township.
1t seems that the commander at st. Johns
sent out company under Captain Carter,
to Phillipsburgh, to watch the movements
of the enemy, with the instructions to fall
back if attacked. The soldiers were on
the alert, being close to the boundary,
beyond which the invading army under
Gen. Spear was supposed to be drawn up
in line of battle. A horseman appeared.
A scout gave the alarm, and Captain Car
ter, putting his men to the double quick,
ran them IS miles to St. Johns, where
they arrived utterly exhausted, having
thrown away their guns and equipments.
In their haste, they cut across lots, wading
through swamps and miery place, and up
on arriving at st. Johns were in sad
plight. The good people of that town
were in great trepidation. The troops
were put in position of defense; mer-
chants packed their goods; families made
preparations to flee, and the whole sur
rounding country was alarmed. Such is
sfo ssory, wnlcK is exceedingly mortnylng
to the people here, as Bull Run was the
people of the North.

To tho Voters Of the Second Con
gressional District of Vermont:

1t may be proper for me to say that l
respectfully decline to be candidate for
recollection. Proud of my constituency
and profoundly sensible Of their long-con-
tinued faver, it is right that my decision
should be authoritatively announced in
season for them to fix upon some one to
be chosen as my successor. If / have
been able in any degree to be useful in
the public service it is entirely due to the
generous support Of the people of the Sec
ond district of Vermont, who have hon
ored me with six consecutive elections
In retiring from this post of honor, which
have faithfully endeavored to make the
post Of duty also, ] tender to my friends
and constituents the tribute of a grateful
heart. JUSTIN S. MORRILL,.

Counterfeit Greenbacks.

AT the present time, when the currency

On the new series of letter " A." around
the figure of Liberty on the left end is a

CoURAGEoUs.-Now that The Fenians
have left the border, the British Canadian
troops have rushed up to the line with
great valor, and express much buster and
regret that the Fenians did not remain
there till they arrived that they might
have had fight with them! Valiant
chaps! 1t was only a few days before
the Fenians left Canada that whole gar
rison of them at one post took fight and
fed eighteen miles with nothing in pur-
suit In fact the number of Canadian

war just ended, greatly exceeded the pro.
portion of all we had during our four

United States Senators.

We pnblish this week in anolhvr place
the card Of the Hon. JUsrM S. MORRILL,
to the voters of this district. IN which he
declines to be candidate for reelection.
If this was understood to be his retire.
ment from public life, it would be receiv-
ed by the people of This State and the
country with deep regret; but as he will
probably be promoted to q still higher po-
sition, this announcement will not be I'M
expected.
During the last few weeks most Of the
papers in Vermont have discussed the SEN
atorial question, especially in the north
mart of the State, and it is worthy Of no.
tice that they have discussed only the
election Of senator on this side of the
m ountain, though in effect we are to make
three elections. A majority of the press
have expressed themselves in favor of
Mr.. Morrill, and this we believe to be the
sentiment Of the State, especially in this
district which he has SO ably and faithful
ly represented. Judge POLAND, it is
understood, will be his only competition
We would not detract from his abilities
and usefulness as senator in the least,
and do not propose to, and but for the
fact that be is candidate, Mr.. Morrill,
would doubtless be elected V the Senate
without opposition.
Mr.. Morrill, has received six consecu-
tive elections to the House OF Represen-
fstives from this congressional district
He has obtained a position IN Congress
equalled by very few members from any
part Of the country, and through him
Vermont has had corresponding infiu-
ence in the national councils. Now why
not continue this influence by electing
him to che Senate?
Among the most important national
questions which will arise for years to
come, are those of finance; questions up
on which Mr.. Morrill, is thoroughly con-
yersant, and where he has SO much ex-
celled as a member of the House From
being member Of the important standing
committee on Ways and Means he has
become to be chairman of that committee
and is now the acknowledged leader of the
House. He is also member Of the
special committee on Reconstruction. In
national politics he is and always has beer
closely allied to the feelings Of the people
If Vermont always true to freedom ant
democracy. He has been tried by the
people and found true and faithful. ID
has national reputation, such certainl,
n can be claimed for no other man il
Vermont since CoLLAMER and Foo7
have passed away. There is therefore
great propriety and justice to our STATE
that be should be elected to the United
States Senate.

Morse fired his pistol in the air, but this
did not hinder the parties from attacking
him. Alter more threatenings, without
effect, Morse fired his pistol in the midst
of his assailants, who ran, with the ex-
ception of CONFESS, the keeper of the
house where the disturbance took place,
who fell, having been shot through the
body. He died almost Immediately. Mr.
Morse secured his two prisoners and gave
himself up, but was told thas his conduct
was justified, and his arrest would not be
ordered.

Execution of Probst.

Anton Probst, the murderer OF the
Deering family, was executed on Friday
last. He maintained hisusual Indifference
to the last, and professed repentance OF
his crimes, but there was nothing very
deep in his feelings. AT least it appeared
so. The execution was very quiet and
only witnessed by few persons. The
murder was committed on the 9TH day Of
April, and he was hanged June 9Th, be-
ing nine weeks from the day the crime;
were committed.

End of the Fenian War.

The Fenian war has come to an end,
and their troops are going back to their
homes. The promptness with which our
government seized their arms and other
munitions of war entirely paralyzed their
efforts, and to-day Canada is indebted to
the United States for their own existence
as a government. for in anything like a
fair fight during the last week, the Cana
dams flew from the Fenians like chaff be-
fore the wind. The Canadians no doubt
would make gold soldiers, after due
amount of experience. but they are not
used to being under fire, like most of the
Fenian soldiers who have served in the
Union army, and hence they generally
skedaddled, especially when charged up
on with cold steel. So intense had be-
come the feeling among the Fenians and
their friends, that but for the restraint i'm
posed upon them by the U. S. government
there is little doubt they would have made
short work in capturing Canada, unless,
perhaps, we except the stronghold Of
Quebec. The Fenians are naturally very
indignant at the government for having
frustrated their schemes. They denounce
Mr.. Seward and the administration in
unsparing terms, and declare that if they
intended to interfere with them, to such
an extent, they ought to have given them
notice of such intent before they (the Fe-
nians) had commenced operations.
After all the government has done moth.
ing but its duty, and if there is any fault
it is the fault of the laws not Of the gov
eminent. The President has simply per-
formed duty required Of him by the
laws of the land, duty which if any
President shall fail to do, might keep our
country constantly embroiled in war
with other governments, and this is one
of those cases in which the government
must necessarily take the unpopular side.
The Canadians have been taught good
lesson by the late Fenian raid, but wheth-
er they will profit by it remains to be
seen. They have been taught that our
government can observe the international
laws Of neutrality even if they don't, while
the Fenians have taken the starch out Of
them on matters of incipient courage, like
Bull Run, &c, as witness Ridgeway
though it would be too much to expect
them to acknowledge this last with mucl
alacrity, but their chagrin and mortifica
ton is evident enough to establish tina
fact.

The TRICHINA AGAIN.-A correspon-
dent of the Hartford Times, writing from
Marion, Linn Co., Iowa, June 3, says
that of the family of eight or nine persons
of Mr.. Bemis, respectable clothier
dealer of that place, all but one were Ia
ken sick a few days before, from eating
dried and smoked ham in its raw state,
and that one died on the LIST, another on
the second, and that ON the Sd, three were
in very dangerous state, while three were
convalescing. The only member of the
family who was not sick was one who did
not partake of the ham. Before death the
victim becomes bloated in the face and
limbs, throwing up bloody mucus, and they
die delirious. A microscopic examination
was made of the flesh of one of the young
men that died, and the muscles appeared
like good sized caterpillars or bag worms,
and lay coiled up and crossing each other
in all shapes and directions. In piece
of muscle about the size of half a kernel
of wheat were counted twenty three
worms. There was naturally much ex-
element in the vicinity, and we shall prob
ably have a new panic about eating pork.
1t will be noticed, however, that the pork
| in this case was eaten raw. No case OF
trichina has ever resulted from eating
properly cooked pork, and those who
ought to know say there is no danger.

Bridgewater, where certain persons were
engaged in drunken orgies, and proceeded
to the place. When he got there two per-

seized and started for the lookup; but
the cries of the men were heard by those
within the house, who came out and COM
menced to attack the constable, with a
view to the rescue of their associates
Morse told them of their danger, and that
he would fire on them if they did not de-
sist, but they disregarded his statement
and seemed determined TO make rescue.
