RIEL'S REBELLION.
No Very Startling News Reported
from the Northwest.
Canadian Troops Preparing to Leave
for the "Seat Of War;

WINNIPEG, Man, April 2--Advices received
from Gu Appelle state that General Middle
ton has ordered troops at that point to advance
to Touch Wood to-day. The troops from the
East will reach Nepignon tomorrow, and may
arrive at Winnipeg by Friday night or Satur-
day morning. They cannot arrive too soon, as
at least all the Indians in the Saskatche wan
valley are, or shortly will be, in arms. No
news has been received at Winnipeg from
Prince Albert, and it is assumed that the rebels
are In complete possession of all means of
communication.
A half-breed at Morris, named Loville, has
received a letter from Riel, in which the rebel
warns him that he must either join his band
or take the consequences, as with the present
uprising he intends to sweep the country. The
letter was written three weeks ago.
The advance troops from the East are ex-
pected to reach Nepignon bridge this morning.
AT that place General Superintendent Eagan
has special train of II cars and one Pullman
to take them to Winnipeg, distance of 500
miles, thence to Gu Appelle, a distance Of 1876
miles.
TORONTO, April "A despatch reached here
from Colonel O'Brien to-day, ordering the
York Rangers to hold themselves in readiness
to leave this afternoon. Bulletins were imme-
diately issued from the newspaper offices and
the greatest excitement prevailed.
ST. PAUL, MINI. April "A despatch from
Gu Appelle says:
Col. Hershmer is still at Medicine Hat and
will be recalled. Gen. Middleton is afraid he
will be annihilated ii he proceeds toward Bat
tleford. Humboldt Station has been deserted
by the operator and the mail carriers fear q
descent By the rebels The operator at Clark 8
Crossing is expecting hourly to be made a
captive. The Indians have left Battleford,
going in northerly direction and it is sup
posed they have gone to join the Fort Pitt
Indians. No doubt the position at Battleford
is very serious as one third of the whole Indian
population is in that district and Col Harsh
mer will ba unable to render any assistance
with his small force. Riels scouts have been
seen at Humboldt, $50 miles from Qu ADpelle,
but nobody knows just whore the rebel leader
is located.
QUEBEC, April 2.-Col. Turnbull, COM
mander of the cavalry school corps, has just
received orders to purchase all the horses he
requires and prepare 1000 mounted men,
selected from all the troops of the volunteer
cavalry in the Dominion, who will be armed
with Martini-Henry rifles and as these troops
number some 24OO men, splendid selections
will be made. They are mostly all far mers'
sons, will be well mounted and will rendez-

Alex R. Lawion's Nomination Withdrawn
by the President.

by the President.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Considerable discus
sion took place In the executive session Of the
Senate over the nomination of Alex r. Law
tou as minister to Russia. The COMMITTEES on
foreign relations had reported adversely, the
majority being of the opinion that alt housh
Gen. Lawton had received full pardon and
amnesty from President johnson in February,
1857, yet by the l4th amendment he was ineli-
glble because his political disability had not
been removed by Congress. The committee
reported this as the only objection to confrma-
ton. During the discussion a message was re-
ceived from the President asking that action
be suspended and the latter nomination be
Withdrawn. This action was taken on account
OF the commuters adverse report, the Presi-
dent having been of the opinion that President
Johnson's pardon rendered Gen. Lawtop eligi-
BILE. Although the Republicans in the caucus
failed to agree on the party policy regarding
the proposition to make an issue with the ad-
ministration on the question of removals with
out causes, from Office, which are
not covered by the tenure OF Office act,
hey seem to have been unanimously opposed
to such removals, for when the nomination of
McGrow to be internal revenue collector of the
West Virginia district was reached the point
was made that the incumbent was an ex-Un-
ion soldier, and that he had not served years.
lt was argued that though the office had no
fixed term the principles of the tenure of Office
act were nevertheless applicable and the Re-
PupAicauS oApressou themselves as opposed to
making removals of the kind proposed npon
political grounds alone.sA motion was made to
postpone action till after the list of pending
nominations be gone over and upon yes and
nay vote 1t was carried by strict party vote.
Several others Of the committee nominations
were temporarily laid aside on the same ground
and when the list had been completed the sub
]eet was further discussed There being no
prospect of agreement without long debate it
was concluded to postpone action till December

A Kind Voice.

. There is no power OF love so had to
get and Keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in fesh and blood. yet do the work
of soft heart, and do it with soft
touch. But there is no one thing that
love so much peejs as sweet voice to
tell what it feels; and it is hard to gel
and keep II in the right tone. One must
start in. youth. and he on the watch night
and day, at work and play, to get and
keep a voice that shall speak at all times
the thoughts of kind heart But this
is the time when a sharp voice is apt to
be got You often hear boys and girls
say words at play with sharp, quick
tone as if it were the snap of a whip
When one of them gets vcxed, you will
hear voice that sounds as II 1t we're
made up OF snarl, a whine, and bark.
1t is often in mirth that one gets voice
or tone that is sharp, and sticks to him
through life, and stirs up illwill and
grief, and falls like drop Of gall on the
sweet joys OF home. Watch it day by
day, as pearl OF great price, for it will
be worth more to you in days to come
than the best pearl hid in the sea. A
kind voice is to the heart what light is
to the eye. 1t Is q light that sings as
we'll as shines. Train it to sweet tones
now, and il will keep in tone through
life.- Eiha Barriu
