We have received a copy Of the
first number Of the New Nation,
the organ Of the rebels of the
Prince Ruperts Land difficulty.
The New Nation is published at
Winnipeg, and from It VIC make
the following extract;
Something as to our policy will
DO expected from US 10 this NUM-
Der and We proceed briefly to de-
fine our position. In common with
the majority of the settlement, we
regard tho Hudson Bay Company's
government as AbsOlete and never
to be rcsuscitated. The Dominion
government, by It's criminal blum
ders and INJUSTICE to tho peo-
pie, have forever alienated them I;
and by It's forfeiture ofall rights to
rrespect win prevent us In future
from either receiving or permitting
its protection. The Imperial gov
ernment we consider 10 he too far
distant intelligently to administer
our affairs. The question arises,
then, what form Of government Is
best adapted for tho development
OF. this cOuntFy2 and we reply, un.
hesitatingly, that the United States
republic offers to-day that system
Of government which would best
promote order aud progress IN our
midst aud open up a country OF
magnificent resources. But in our
present dependent condition we
cannot obtain what we need in
that direction, aud hence wo viii
hold it to be our duty TO advocate
independence for the people Of
Red River as q present cure for
public ills. Cur annexation 20 the
uuited States will follow ln time
and bring with Il The advantages

THERE is an outrageous crime
perpetrated daily in this city,
to which we desire to call the at.
tention Of the police If they are
not already fully aware Of the ex-
tent of its practice. We refer to
the exhorbitant charges made by
hackmen. The regular price al
lowed is fifty cents for each pas
senger to any part OF the city /;
double price after night. All over
this is an extOrtiOn, and there Is an
ordinance which attaches q punish-
ment fora charge greater than this
Yet strangers are daily. made to
DayIdOuble,and very often ten times
moro than the amount allowed.
Such extortiOn will bring disCredit
upon the city and injurc 1t TO q very
great extent. Not a great while since
We desired to take passage on the
earlymOrning train ;by arrangement
a hackman came foT us. For this
service he took eight dollars out Of
a ten dollar bill given him to
change, and when demonstrated
with refused 10 restore a part Of II,
and threatened to call the police II
we annoyed him any longer. He
was a stranger and did not know
us. He supposed that we were
compelled to leave on that train
not to return, and that therefore
he would be safe A.; but learning that
we were n resident Of this city he
finally concluded to restore a roas-
enable share Of tho money
Strangers, however, are aeeced In
this manner every day, and we
demand that the police cause il to
be stopped.

Of, the finished scholar, the pol
ishcd gentleman, the military &c.
MUS and the christian. We couple
the names Of Horace Greely and
those Of "Stonewall" Jackson on
this occasion from the following
cause
An effort is being made TO raise
a monument to the memory Of
General jackson at the Virginia
Military Institute, in which college
General Jackson was professor
for many years. 1t will require
about fifty thousand, dollars to
defray the necessary expense. To
raise this some kind wealthy gen,
tlemen in New York city, have
subscribed about ten thousand dol.
lars. The name Of Horace Greely is
on the list. This is the way IN
which to reconstruct. This is the
only way to wipe out the bitter
recollections ofthe past. To the
North has been accorded victory (;
to theSouth humiliation and defeat.
Where is the philanthropy Of which
that land is so wont to pirate ? We
have failed to see 1t in the action
of Congress, but it is shown in
the disinterested kindness of such
men as Horace Greeley, as shown
in this act and many others which
might be enumerated. In Phila.
dclphia the sum Of five thousand
dollars has been subscribed.
Shall the South, set by
