Mr.. Banks, in the House CT Representatives
on Monday, reported from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, plan Of voluntary union
between the United States aad British Amer
lea. 1t proceeds on the assumption that the
difference between the Federal debt and tho
Provincial debtmight be recognized and pledged
as an internal im provement fund, securing
ship-canal navigation to Chicago and Superior:
and 4 continental railway from Halifax to Van
couver, by way Of Lake Superior and the
Saskatche1 Fan valley, and that such gigantic
system Of Northwestern development should
constitute the basis Of Union. The bill was
ordered to- be printed and recommitted to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. It is entitled
"a b Ill for the admission of the States of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada East and
Gap.ada West, and for the organization of the
le' rltories Of Selkirk, Saskatchewan, and
Columbis.. We are living in an expansive
as vel! as y progressive age. Certainly mo pent
up Utica is to contract the powers OF those
who are to annex British North America, and
take ano ther huge slice from Mexico.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE MASSACRE.

Upon full survey of all the circumstan
ces preceding, attending and following
the New Orleans massacre several points
are distinctly seen:
!. That the men engaged in the riots be-
long to the party Of the rebellion that in
it they were actuatod by the feelings and
principles in which the rebellion had its
origin and by which it was sustained and
that the object of it, two,fold in aspect,
was one in esstnce-to crush loyal men,
and to keep the control of the State in the
hands Of the enemies Of the Union.
2 That the rioters and murderers are
the supporters, of the Presidents Policy
not because they like either him or the
Union, but because his Policy plays into
their hands, and would enable them to
gather ami repossess on the field of pol
itics many of the advantages they lost on
the field OF battle-and the retention Of
which is in violation Of the public safety
and in contravention OF the rights and in
terests of all men who stood by the gov
ernment in its time of agony.
3 That the sympathies Of the Presiden t
were with the rioters, and that he gave
them assurance he would not interpose by
military force until it was demonstrated
the municipal authorities We're not compe-
tent to deal with the offenders.
V,,t In Ma,,,~ rahnl L.
that most Of the police officers serving un-
der him were rebel soldiers and their de-
sign was not to put down the rioters, but
to suppress the Constitutional Convention.
5. That whatever professions may be
made at Washington of displeasurc at the
demoniac outbreak, the result is not dis
pleasing to the President and his support
ers-except so far as it t, nds to loosen
what hold they had upon the loyal popula-
ton of the Northern States The object of
the mob in defeating the Convention is ac-
complshed.
6. That what has been done in New Or
leans is likely to be repeated III various
other towns of the Southern States. In
deed, it is manifest that the New Orleans
riot is but the outcropping,o ,on large scale,
of the increasing drift Of rebel sentiment
in the revolted States that cases of the
assassination Of loyal blacks and whites
are everywhere common that men of
Northern birth, settled in those State since
the war closed, are exposed to great inse-
curity, and liable at any moment to be
driven out and lhat the whole course of
the Administration tends To encourage
these irregularities and to sEield the per-
pctrators of them.

Mr. DELos ROCKWELL, is chairman of The

test-those who are in favor of the Union oI these

hankerlng after Office. Under the lead OF
pardoned, aud unpardoned, but always un,
repentant Rebels, ID fierce warfare Is to be
made upon the Republican organzatIon.--

in this State.
aea1 1t is announced that President John
son intends to declare Texas tit !or formal
recognition as a member of the American
Union, with ThrOckmorton, the recently
elected rebel candidate for Governor, at the
head of affairs A very timely announce
ment Texas is a fine field upon which to
display the advantages Of "My Policy
1t is stated by Governor Hamilton that
since Johnson has joined the traitors, the
lives Of over six hundred Union men have
been deliberately sacrificed OH various pre-
texts by his secession advocates in that
State, and that although many Of the per-
petratorS were subjected to what were cal
led trials, not one of them has been punish
ed. This revelation is the more appalling
when contrastcd with the fact that although
Johnson sworc at the side Of the dead body
Of Lincoln that treason should be made odi-
ous, and that traitors should die, not sin
gle one of the authors and leaders of the re-
bellion has yet been brought to Justice.
Bag" Andrew Johnson proves himself as
devoid Of consistency as he is Of the COM
monest sort Of honesty. In his action in
louisiana committing the conduct Of ali.
airs to the Attorney-General, instead of
the Governor Of the State, he has gone
back on all his previous professions and
swallowed his policy at single guIp. He
shows himself anxious to do anything
which will comfort and assist the rebels,
and willing to do nothing else.
FOREIGN NEws.-We have European
news by the Atlantic cable to the 10th Of
August.
France has officially asked from Prussia
the restoration Of the frontier Of 1914 which
would involve the cessiou OF the Prussian
towns of Saarbruek and Saarlouis, of the
Bavarian town Of Landau, and Of several
Belgian towns
The Prussian Government officially state
that the States joining the Confederation
will retain their civil Administrations
The session Of the English Parliament has
closed The Queens speech thanks the
United States Government for tue action
taken III the Fenian trouble.
An armistice has been agreed upon be-
tween Austria and Italy OH the basis of
the session Of Neneta.
The FREEDMEN's BUREAU-General How
ard. Commissioner Of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, has written letter in reply to some
inquiries made by the Hon Roswell Hart,
Member Of Congress from New-York, con
cernIng the operations Of lhe Freedmens
Bureau. The General declares the organi-
zation and work of the Bureau, giving its
statistics from June, 1865, to June, 1866.
From these it appears that the number Of
persons receiving ration5 ar decreasing,
and that the white dependent upon the Gov
ernment bounty are equal in number to
the blacks. The letter closes with the
opinion that i'll the present condition Of aft
airs the Bureau is Indispensable
asA. 1t was rumored in Norfolk that the
property OF Henry A Wise had been res
torcd to him. 1t is situated near Drum
mondtown on the eastern shore of Virgin
Ia. 1t Is said that the freedmen occupying
