THE TEMrEANoR CAUSE In NEW Yoa4.
The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes in q manner indi-
eating that there are some sober people
in the metropolis. He says 'There is
quite q revival Of temperance in all this
region. The temperance men here have
gone back to old principles. Letting
the law take care of itself, all parties
have gone to work to induce men to be-
come temperate. Crowded meetings
are held in churches and a great deal Of
interest prevails. The old friends Of the
cause who have stood aloof for some
time are coming on to the platform
again; the pledge is being circulated
and freely signed"

If the condition Of England were to be
estimated by the criterion which the journal
istic Thunderer-to which the Johnny Bulls
are meekly submissive on home and foreign
matters-sat up in its judgment of American
affairs, the United Kingdom must be in bad
way. 1t must now be the " Disunited y
Kingdom, and the right of the Fenians to sit
up an Irish republic should be conceded at
once.
Here was the Times logic on the 9th Of
July, 1862. Then our administration for the
better aud prompter suppression Of rebellion
had suspended the habeas corpus At such
a radically revolutionary measure, subversive
of the liberties of the people, the Times was
duly alarmed and indignant, and in behalf Of
lis southern friends, entered violent protest
against the measure. Here is what it said
then concerning us:
At home no mans life, or liberty, or
property is secure, for how can life or liberty
be secure IN country where the hdbsas cor
pus act is suspended indefinitely where cti-
zens have no redress against unlawful impris-
onment, and no available means of obtaining
u pubic trial and how can property be
secure when money is no longer thing of
intrinsic value, and when confscation and
taxation are becoming words of similar
meaning? This is the happy Union which
the Americans are now making for them
selves, and 10 which they expect that, when
il is completed, all mankind will flock They
have but to add to it. as they are now doing.

life, and they will soon have TO negotiate q

That was English logic when the unity of
our government was threatened. Does it
follow IN practice those precepts now that
the unity Of Great Britain is threatened by
Feniaua? Not bit of it. Ere there has
been any overt act on the part Of the insur
recionists-iu mere anticipation of strife,

concerning our sad abuse of liberty and pop

may be Of interest to you to know something
of the hardships to which we in this latitude
are subjected from the same influence, though

long journey southwark. This Fort is situa-
ted $40 miles n. W of ST. Paul on the Coteau
des nrairies, an elevated tract of land, sew
eral hundred feet above the surrounding prai
ries, rolling and almost destitute of timber so
that the winds sweep unimpeded from every
point Of the compass, and think .Eolus must
have established his headquarters somewhere
in this vicinity and that we are in the track
of his messengers, for hardly day passes
that the wind does not blow with more or less
violence. The winter has been quite cold.

three OF the FIVE horses with them have come
in without saddles.
The Indians. near the Fort and West on
the James river. have suffered severely from
scarcity Of provisions. as the snow has pre-
vented them from hunting buffalo, almost
their only means of subsistence, and but for
rations issued by the Commissary they would
have been reduced to starvation.
Furs are scarce here, and nothing seems to
thrive. except the buffalo, for which the, al
most bonndless prairies, stretching westward
to the Black Hills. are an inexhaustible pas
ture. Fuel Is almost entirely wanting and il
must be many years before settlements of any
size can prosper. The outbreak of the Sioux
has obliged the Government to establish posts
in this region which would otherwise for a
long time have been left to the Indian and the
buffalo. Yours truly,
