 British Columbia. San Francisco journals bring further evidence on the subject cul- led from the Victoria papers, which discuss it's merits with freedom and friendship to this country rare among the British Col onial press. The Colonist, the oldest Vic toria paper while recognizing an alliance with ''the Dominion of Canada" as not improbable alternative, declares that is discussed at every corner; that 'the people desire to come under the Stars and Strips, and that the change would be an immense benefit to the colony" The Morning Ners, another Victoria journal, pronounces decidedly in favor of the move ment which derives strength from the de- pressed condition of the colony the bank ruptcy of its local government, and the persistent neglect of its wants and wishes evinced by the Imperial authorities

 Our readers probably remember the ac- cusation made against Gen. Banks year ago, by those who were opposed to his nomination, of having been shamefully in- toxicated- during 8 visit to Portland, Me. In spite of the charge and the pertinacity with which it was urged, Gen. Banks was renominated and reelected, and he then insisted on rigid investigation into the charge. A committee was appointed, the inquiry was had, and we learn from the Portland Press that the committee unani- mously report that the charge was utterly false. This is certainly personal triumph for the General, and it may possibly teach politicians the impolicy as we'll as the shameful in0ecency of attempting to de- feat political opponent by personal cal umnies. The instances are very rare where all such attempts do not react with fatal ef- feet upon those who make them.
