G0nn FRIDAY.

This day, eighteen hundred and thir-
ty-three years ago, was enacted drama,
compared with which the most awful
deed of crime invented by widest fic-
ton, loses all its horror. On that day,
most stupendous, most memorable and
most inconceivable to created intelli
gence, the Eternal Son of God redeemed
sinful world by the shedding of his
blood. Well might the spirits of the
heavenly hierarchy stand appalled,
around the Thronei we'll might the
voice of lamentation be mingled with
the everlasting chorus, "Holy, holy,
thrice when the foundations of
the illimitable beneath and above were
shaken to their very centre, and earth,
guiIt-stained earth, felt all the throes of
a mortal agony.
In every land where the Cross is the
symbol of faith, in every region, from
the home of the frost-bound Icelander
10 the myrtle groves of Andalusian
chimes, over the vast expanse of ocean,
in the solitude of the desert, everywhere
throughout the length and breadth OF
the globe, wherever the Gospel of the
Crucified has reached, this day is sancti-
fed as day apart,-a day of solem unity
and deepest gratitude. 1t is a conse-
Grated season, full of mysteries, best
learned and appreciated in silent COM
munings Of the soul with Heaven, 1t

Senator Solomon Foote is dead. He
had represented Vermont, in the Senate,
for some sixteen years, and was an en-
lightened statesman. In 1850 he was
complimented by Daniel Webster for
his answering devotion to the Union,
and the ability with which he enforced
his patriotic sentiments. Mr.. Foote was
born in 1902, and was consequently ga
years of age. His death had been ex-
pected for several days, and cur previous
advices from Washington represented
that he had prepared for his departure,
by making his will and giving his final
orders, as will be seen by the following
extract from Washington paper:
Senator Foote Oh Tuesday made his
will, dicta' ed all details for his funeral,
where and how he should be buried, &c.
then sank into state Of quiet uncon.
seriousness. Senator Poland was with
him during most of the day. At late
hour of the night he still breathed, but tho
hopes were entertained that he could
survive many hours.

CHIvALRIC. The Richmond corre-
spopde9t Of the Alexandria Gazette re-
lates the following knightly incident OF
the war
1t was Immediately after the engage
ment in which Ashby lost his life that |
had the pleasure of .neeting Col. Kane,
the officer who commanded the Federal
troops on that occasion. He was on his
way home, lying langpidly on his couch
and suffering greatly from the wound he
received in the encounter. From Col.
Kane's own lips l obtained full and
modest account of the whole affair. As
1 parted from him he called me back, aud
1 never shall forget the earnestness with
which he said to me: "Whatever youdo
sir pray deal gently with the memory
of poor Ashby. He was noble fellow,
brave soldier and gentleman
need not say that so noble and chivalrous
a thought, so earnestly expressed, affect
ed me deeply and raised that gallant of
ficer, Colonel Kane, greatly in my esti
nation. That officer, too, be it remem-
bered, is Pennsylvania.
w hat far nobler illustrations is this of
American honor and American chivaIry
than the vindictive hatred that would
follow brave and open foe beyond the
precincts of the grave.

The Criminal Court of Washington
on Monday commenced the trial of
General La Fayette g. Baker, on the
charge of robbing, preferred by Mrs.
Lucy L. Cobb, well known as pardon
broker. The specific charge by Mrs.
Cobb il that General Baker, while she
was under constraint from him, robbed
her of two hundred dollars, which she
had received from a man named Hine,
or Howell, for procuring him pardon.
This is the second trial of the accused, it
will be remembered, in connection with
this case, he having in January been
tried and convicted of false imprison-
ment. There yet remains to be tried the
charge of the false Imprisonment Of
Joseph II. Cobb. The accused demurred
to the indictment, pleading former con-
viction. This point was argued, and
the Judge said he would give his decision
the next day. aEa a..

The following singular paragraph we
clip from an editorial article of the New
Berne Times, on the question of recon-
struction. We fear that editor did not
duly weigh his words, before he gave
them utterance:
We sometimes think that if Andy
Johnson could only accidently die or get
killed, so that 1.-THE right man could be
put in his right place." it would not take
a fortnight for these constitutional doe
tors to end the great struggle and restore
our members to their seats upon the
floors of Congress. These may be wicked
thoughts in US, but for the life of us we
cannot prevent them from rising up oc-
casionally.

A Montreal dispatch says the Government
has received letter from an official in
| Windsor, c. W, stating that the Mayor of
Detroit informed him he had caused inquiry
TO be made into the extent of the Fenians
movement in that city and discovered there
was a likelihood of an attack from that
point.
The Government has also been notified
that the L. S. Government sent troops to
Buffalo to prevent any attack on til at
quarter.
| am informed by an officer Of the Royal
engineers that orders were sent 70 England
five weeks ago for 10000 troops They will
land at HALIFAX and march from thence to
New Brunswick, where the vulnerable point
is feared to be.
These troops are expected IN ten days and
on their arrival, New Brunswick it is con
sidered will be safe.
Two ships Of war, the Ariadne and Py- |
ladies' are even now in the Bay of Fundy.
Sir Frederick Bruce has ordered the West /
India squadron 10 sail Immediately for Hall |
fax with all disposable troops in the West
Indies
The excitement here is being much abat-
cd. The Montrealers generally believe that
the Roberts and Sweeney faction must give
their supporters something for their money,
bpt that the attack will be IN the Upper
Province and New Brunswick, but not here,
or at Quebec. They deem it utter madness
to attempt the capture Of either Of these Ell
ties. They are however actiy " arming 50
that they may guard the city in the event Of
troops and volunteers being needed else
where.

The world is so inundated now with medicines Of
every description which are warranted cures for
every known and unknown species OF disease, that
the sufferer finds 1t almost impossible 10 distinguish
between good and bad. Some Of these wonderful
fluids profess to cure every complaint known to the
Materia Mediea. In speaking Of HosrETrER's BIZ
TIERS, We refer to preparation which limits itself
to one department Of the body-the stomach-the
irregularities and disorders Of which It not only
claims to cure, but does. Its reputation has be-
come worldwide, and from the Pacific to the At
lantic, in both hemispheres and in every latitude
and Eones, 1t is known and employed As . remedial
agent.
Persons who have been repeatedly deceived,
perhaps, cannot be convinced that Hostetter's Bit
tiers will effect sure, rapid, and permanent cures.
But this assertion is confirmed by testimonial let
tiers from the most distinguished men In the coun-
try. AL who have once used these Bitters keep
them now by their side tafe- guard, believing
that ian ounce OF prevention is better than .
pound Of cure.n

Anti Fenian fever broke out alresh with
great virulence on Saturday night, under
the influence of rumOrs placing Gen. Sweeny
with large force both at Detroit and
Niagara. In Toronto the alarm was great,
the troops being under arms all night, and
everything held IN readiness to repel attack.
That the Fenians certainly mean business
and that little hindrance to their plans is TO
be hoped for from the U. 5. Government is
said to have become the settled belief ef the
Canadians.
Troops are still moving to the frontier
from various points and the organization OF
new companies continues.
A plot to blow up the Toronto drill sheds
