WARLIKE CANADA NEws.-An Otto
wa special says the excitement is in
creasing. Aprivate meeting of the Min
listers has been held in connection with
leading members of both Houses. 1t
is intimated that facts have been pre-
sented to them showing the existence
of a secret society of desperadoes sworn
to summarily put out of the way ali
members of Parliament broadly Anti
Fenian in sentiment.
Information is also in possession of
the members that grand Fenian out
break throughout the Dominion is imm:-
nent. In this, it is stated in addition
to Fenians, will be engaged forces OF
the many Canadians who are dissat-
iSfed with the Government on general
grounds. 1t has been ascertaiped by
the authorities that the murderer of Nc
Gee is n. Y. Fenian, who it is said has
been detailed by secret society for the
purpose-the duty having been decided
by drawing lots. 1t is rumored that
a French revolutionary society in the
lower province is acting In concert with
the Fenians. Threats OF retaliation up
on all known Fenians are openly made
by members of the British party, and it
is feared other assassinations will follow.

Alfred Townsend. applied to Senator Wade for
ticket of admission to the reporters gallery
in the Senate, and was met as he asserts, with
coarse profane and ungrammatical language
from Mr.. Wade This charge Mr.. Wade brands
as false, and adSiucss witnesses to prove it, but
the charges are reiterated, and the Leader
makes il the occasion of rough dscathing at
tacf1s from day to day, and alleges that it has
been threatened with lawsuit for SANDER
This, too, has been denied upon good authorl-
ty, and the evidence seems to be, that the Lead
er is doing an enormously ferocious business,
upon a very slender foundation in capital.
THE Impeachment QUESTION is mov-
ing along. The prosecution has rested,
and the defense, it has been given out,
would call but q halfa-dozen witnesses.
We may, therefore, hope for an early
submission Of the case, and if the popn-
lar hope and expectation are not dis
appointed, Andy johnson will not be
lett long in doubt as to his fate. With
Senator Wade in the White House, and
true sense of his character before the
minds of those incarnate devils of the
south, the progress Demonstration will
be more steady and certain, and personal
safety and security better guarded than
under the malign influence of the present
occupant of the executive mansion.
CONNECTICUT ELEcT1oS.-Th election
in this state came off on Monday last,
and proved little worse for the Repub-
licans than was generally expected
Our friends were prepared for nearly
even thing, but the result shows about
1 800 majority for English, with a few
small towns to hear from. The heavy
colonizing OF foreign voters from New
York in various towns along the shore,
particularly at New Haven, will account
for this result. Although this vote
swelled the majority for English, it could
not effect generally, the Legislature, and
in that body the republicans have
wholesome majority. Of the 81 Sena-
tors, the republicans have II, while in
the house they have some 80 or 40 ma
jority, which will secure a sound man in
the place of Dixon, whose course, and
mediocrity of talent have been no credit
to the state he represents. We shall
hope for man of full mental and moral
stature as colleage of Ferry, when
Connecticut will, in her Senatorial dele
cation put herself in the light of former
days. We ought perhaps to be willing
to tolerate, if so it must be, English for
one year, if VIC can only get rid Of Dix
on and his ilk, for six. .t
The Republicans of Connecticut have
fought gallantly and done nobly. They
have not carried every thing at this tri-
al, and they had good reason to appre-
hend that they would not. With GRANT
aG their head next November, their tri-
umph cannot be doubtful. Naturaliza-
tion must now be done up for at least
two years ahead, and nothing can pre-
vent steady increase of Republican
strength he-ceforward to the Presidcn-
tial election.

PARAGUAY.-Thef fortress of Humaita,
theNicksburg of Paraguay, has been Ia
ken by storm, and fifteen large guns,
with large qr antilles Of stores and ammu-
milton, have fallen into the hands of the
victors. AT the same time the Brazil
ian fleet has forced passage past the
land batteries and occupied Asuncion,
the capital of the Republic.
This is by far the heaviest blow which
has yet fallen upon Paraguy, and may
soon prove to be the fatal blow.
According to all probabilities the Par
aguayans will now succumb to the over
powering forces of the Brazilians. Their
strength is exhausted in consequence of
the unparalleled exertion which they
have had to makcto Fill up the gaps in
their army. While the strong places,
and with them their capital, are falling
into the hands of the Brazilians in the
Southwest another Brazilian force is in
vading Paraguay from the north, and
there is not sufficient troops at the dis
posal of President Lopez to arrest their
advance. We may, therefore, soon hear
of the submission of Paraguay. Accor-
ding to the provisions of the triple ALI
ance, the first condition upon which the
conclusion of peace will be made depen-
dent is the removal of President Lopez.
This efectad, Paraguay is entirely at tn he
mercy of the victor. 1t will have to re-
linquish all claims to disputed territory,
and pay all expenses of the war.

A Coon JokE.-We learn from the
CoRneaut Reporter, that some practical
wit conceived the idea of perpetrating a
joke upon one OF the members of the So
cietv of Second Adventists, of Saybrook,
where there is goodly number of them
who are strong in the faith of the sec
ond coming of Christ. His plan succeed
ed admirably. He took an egg, wrote
upon the shell in red ink, ''Cbrist ap-
pears upon this earth May Is, 1861"
and placed it in the henery of his in
tended victim. The egg was carried to
the house, and the message thereon re-
ceived with due credence by said faith
full He then communicated it to his
brethren, and many of them regarded it
also in the light of revelation. In the
midst of the excitement, caused by the
''cackling Of this hen," the joke leaked
out, much to the annoyance and discom-
future of the faithful. And "May 1868"
is all that is at present required to cause
frown to gather upon the face of this
Second Adventist. ... ....

GENERAL LEES ''LoYAL INSTITUTION. :"
Facts are being daily developed which
pove that Washington College, Lexing-
ton, Va, of which General II. Z. Lee is
President, is one of the most virulent
rebel institutions in the land-a school
for the propagation of hatred to the Gov
ernment and its loyal people. From the
Principal down to the humblest tutor,
the Faculty are throughly rebel in senti-
ment, and act accordingly, if we may be-
lieye a Lexington correspondent of the
New York Independent. 1t is only
few weeks since that Mr. E. G. Johnson,
a merchant of Lexington, who unfortun-
ately hailed from the East, was attacked
on the North river, while skating, by
seventy-fve young sprigs of chivalry,
students at the College, and severely
beaten, simply beeaue he was cyan
kee:" Mr.. johnson applied to General
Wilcox for protection, and the latter
called on General Lee, who promised to
prevent further outrages, and General
Wilcox was satisfied. The students,
however, gave Mr.. johnson notice that
if he did not leave Lexington within
specified time, they would hang him,
and through the counsel of his friends
he did leave. In view of such facts as
these, is it not astonishing that Henry
Ward Beecher, Horace Greeley, Gcrritt
Smith, and other Northern men will
lend their countenauce and give of their
means to support such hot-bed of pros:
cription and embryo treason? .

Capt. Frederick Windsor, the son of Mr.
Richard Windsor, of HayfeId Fairfax comfy.
lett here yesterday to embark in the new busi-
ness OF bringing from Texas beef cattle 10 gra ze
for this market. He has made all his arrange
ments TO ship his stock directly through by the
Southern railroads 10 Alexandria. 1t is aston
IshIng that this has not been done before, when
we take into consideration the immense ady van
tages of this route over the ST. Louis and
chicago route, In point Of time, distance, &c.
Our railroads are, we understand. alive TO the
importance OF directing this valuable trade over
Their roads The present moment Is pTOpitiOps
for this movement, as We see the Western
papers hlled with accounts of disease anon gst
the cattle driven through that section. TINS
may be the means OF directing the transporta-
hon over Southern roads, and through coun-
try where 10 such diseases are likely TO occur
We opine the disease IN the Western cattle
orgInates in what Is well known 10 practical
cattle raisers as one that is produced by travel
ing so many over the same pastgr3ye. The
grass becomes short or stubbleu, aud, when the
cattle attempt 10 bite the stubble site ks them
on the nose. producing an irritation, resulting
IN an Inflammation that finally diseases the
whole frame, ultimately killing the cattle, or

tent amongst the buffalo and deer in districts
IF country that have been burned over, anu
the poor animals are compelled to feed on the
vast district OF county. as IL often isl no 9TH
ct alternative than 10 ear what IS left.
Mr.. Windsor deserves great credit in being
the pioneer IN what must result in great profit
10 our railroads and country. Once this trade
route is adopted, aud the cattle are brought 10
Virginia grazing ground (and where can bet
ter be found,) we will. TO large extent, sup
ply the more Northern demand for beet. We
pronounce this movement as one in the Fight
direction. and wish Mr.. Windsor all success in
