Women were compelled to get out of bed in their night clothes that their beds might be searched for money, or other ' valuables. Pistols were held to their heads with threats of instant death if they did not strip the-jewehy from their persons and hand it to the robbers. . Their clothing was taken andtorns to shreds, and then burned. Men were stopped ttt the streets in daylight, their watches and money taken from them, and turned loOse after suffering terrible indignities Deserted houses were entered and the con- tents stolen and destroyed from pure malici- ousness. Pianos were demolished with axes, in the presence of their owners, until scarce- ly a piece a foot square was left of the whole instrument. Libraries were scattered in the metal! over ten were lots. These and count- less other outrages have thus far been com- mitted with impunity t y Federal soldiers, whoarepmfessedly fighting to maintain the Uniondhe constitution and the laws.

STANTON- l At about three p. m. on Tuesday, January 11, whena vessel hove in sight south-east, we were signalled from the Brooklyn to give chase. As she came in sight she appeared to be endeavoring to escape. Just after dark we were able to discover that she was barque rigged, and set atop gallant sail. After darl we gained on her last, and we got up. fouzv her lying to under steam. We had been a (éuarters about 20 minutes. As we came it aptain Blake hailed and asked what ship i Was. The answer was Her Britanic Majesty’ ship Spitfire. Captain Blake said, ‘~’ I wil send a boat abroad.” The boat being lower ed away, I was order to take charge am board. Before we- went one-half the ship’ length away from the side, the stranger open ed fire. It was returned by the Hatteras, an. both. started ahead under a full head 0 steam, exchanging broadsides as fast as the; could and fire for about twenty minutes, wit. big guns, and then with musketry from bot vessels. All the time I had been trying t board my vessel, but could not come up. Alter the musketry ceased I discovered ti: that the Hatteras was stopped, an blowing off steam with enemy alongside ft: the purpose of heading I heard the enem; cheering, and knew the Hatteras had been captured. I though it no use to give myself up as a prisoner. and therefore rowed back to the fleet under cover of the darkness, in the * hope of giving information of the affair. The .

In 1859 an act was passed revoking the proclamation and authorizing the Governor in Council to ascertain rthe wishes to give efiect to them. The question was again taken up by the Provisional Council of Bruce, and resulted in favor ot Walkerton over all other competing places. This action :the Governor very properly regarded as an expression oft'ne will of the people, and sup plemented it by a second time proclaiming' Walkerton as the County Town of Bruce.â€" The dissatisfied have, until the 2nd instant: succeeded in keeping the matter in abeyance, to the no small injury to the peace and material prosperity of the County.

The work to be done for that purpose consrsts mainly in gravelling, extra culverts. and some road formation. We have no idea of the probable amount which may be necessary, but we are aware that over $13,000 was deducted for un- finished graveiling. That amount under good management will go far towards completing them, especially now that no necessity what- ever exists for the employment of an En- giueer. nearly two years, has been continued at an expenditure of much time and money by the respective litigants. . The proceedings (tithe County Conncil at its recent session, will be regarded on the whole as of a satisfactory nature. The settlement. made with the Road Contrators is based upon the admeasurements and reports ofthe En- gineer of the County; the latter showing, as we have been given to understand, a balance of about $20,000 as due to them (the con- tractors), and they claiming upwards of $200,- 000. The offer to pay the former sum in lO-years debentures at par, in full of all liabilities, has been accepted. From the published report of the proceedings it would ‘, appear that the Warden tendered his resigna- ition, which was not accepted, and that im- imediately thereafter the Council ad0pte'd a, ‘ resoiution to offer $20,000 as a settlementsâ€"l Although the report furnishes no evidence of the precise reasons which induced Mr. Jack» son to attempt to withdraw from the Warden- shipto which, but a few days before, he had been eiected by a large majority over his predecessor, there can be no doubt but that it arose from a determination, on his part, to terminate a dispute which, for a period of nearly two veal-8. has been nnnfinnofl of an County Council.
