The Winnlpegers.

Our latest advices from Winnipeg point
to the fact that the large force under COM
mand of Colonel Wolseley will not meet
with any serious opposition, for the people
OF that territory are sufficiently aware that
the British government intends the expedi-
ton to be of strictly pacific nature. and
that although its authority will be strictly
enforced, an adjustment of all existing
difficulties will be arrived at by amicable
compromises.
One OF our dispatches announced that Sir
John Northcote proceeded, while another
stated he had accompanied the expedition;
but, be this as it may. that gentleman has
been empowered by the Dominion
government to represent the crown
while etfecting any negotiations
with the Winnipegers. He is
said to be judicious, sensible and shrewd
which is conclusive guarantee
that England, in Offering the olive branch
OF peace instead of British bayonet to
Rel and his halfbreeds, is DESTROYS of con.
before attempting to coerce them.
Just now Winnipeg does not appear to
an independent nationality or
an outpost of the Federal Union.

sELF.AssERTION OF WOMEN.

On all sides and in all ways women are
resolving the problem of destiny for them
selves, and circulating unimpeachable tes-
timony of their courage and intention.
The conflict for womans rights is being
everywhere waged by representative wo-
men, and may be called unilateral from the
fact that the field is being fought exclu-
sively by the fair, whom only the brave
deserve. It is civil strife in which the
sisters imbrue their soft hands in ink, the
brethren holding the light. We look on
barely in this Vienna of the revolution
airy drama, satisfied spectators of whatever
may transpire to make women free and
man her unconditional slave. That the
world is governed too much is an apo
thegm of old, and if it is to be governed
less by all means let the government, like
the toast, be dear woman. Surely, So
ciety will have its way when there shall be
no restraint but kindness, and no account
ability but to the affections.
There is a journalistic feet already at
sea. In the wake of the Revoltion are
many coppered and copper-fastened sea-
going craft, chief of which is Woodruff
and Clafin's We turn her canvas with
the exulting pride of old seamen, conf
dent that no stress of weather will compel
her to lay to, because unlike the Revolu-
ton, she is manned exclusively by women.
Howsoever the little home bodies may
storm or weep, may scream or faint and
IN whatever numbers, the representative
seventy-fours, the men-of-war, will per-
form the work, fighting it out on the incon-
trovertible line of sex if it take century
and quarter. Of this we are thrice as
sured.
Almost daily the bottle-holding, men
manned journals of the North TEEN with
the irrepressible signs Of demurrer, if we
may change our figure, which denote the
conflict as it RACES throughout the social
courts over which woman presides, where
tenderness is irresistible power, and de-
feat is sought as victory. These deny in
Its totality the power of attorney or repre-
sentative mandate. They have armed and
equipped no vessels for ocean strife with
unresisting brethren-who, to be sure. are
quite at sea-and propose to fight out the
problem at their fresides, and not at all
on the sea line. These are the soldiers,
ununiformed and without other arms than
those which love hath shaped for the uses
OF endearment, on whom, at last, success
or failure may depend.
For ourselves, we are prepared for the |
yrandest or worst, as the event may prove;
whether it come on the one hand in the
hape of the sixteenth amendment, own

RESPONSIBILITY OF TIE PRESS.

In former times speech was the only
mode of communication between the dis
tant nations, and owing to its slender means
was necessarily meagre in the extreme. But
now, thought on the wings of the lightning

conveys the Examinations of science, the
benefits of inventions and discovery, and
establish bond of sympathy between the
nations of the earth. Daily upon his
table the Hindoo savant, and Asiatic
scholar, finds the journals of thought en-
anating from the OVERLOOKING press Of Lon
don, Paris and New York. These are
peruaed with intense eagerness. How i'm
portant then that they should contain the
principles of liberty, of justice and virtue?
And at home, in the great cities and the
countries of which these cities are the in
dsx, the whole land is inundated with
newspapers, whose columns are crowded
with every variety of information.
How necessary that it should be health

seized upon with avidity, for the world, and
especially the Anglo-Saxon race are no

ON CARONDELET STREET,

The decision of the United States Dis.
trict Court yesterday, refusing the
prayer of the butchers for a mandamus
compelling the Eighth District Court for
the parish Of Orleans to send up one OF
the leading Slaughterhouse cases, had
perceptible and instant effect upon the
negotiable value of the stock. 1t mounted
steadily and pretty rapidly from s23 until
it touched S24 SO, and stood there until
toward the close of the day, when the de-
cision of his honor, Judge Durell, having
appeared in print, good many parties
became dubious as to the advantage &C.
quired by the bulls, and the stock sub
sided to the opening figure. The day
closed with Slaughterhouse at about s23.
The brokers are more puzzled than
ever at the mysteries appertaining to the
great Slaughterhouse matter. From day
to day, and from week to week, they have
expected an immediate and final decision,
knocking the stock into smithereens or
putting it sky-high. Disappointment has
crowded upon disappointment. The sage
legal conclusions arrived at by our fnan-
ciers one day, have been overthrown,
ripped up and demolished the next,
until they are thoroughly nonplussed,
and have lost all confidence in their
ability to fathom the depths of the
profound matters upon which MesGs.
Bradley, Woods, Durell and Dibble
have exercised their brains during the
past few weeks The brokers are impa-
tiently waiting for results, but yet with
present advantages on the side Of the
Slaughterhouse fraternity.
