Herald's Washington Dispatch. A gentleman who arrived here today from Kansas, states that the rebels Were preparing to make a raid upon that State. They had notified the residents in the son- thern portion of Kansas of their intention. They assert that they mean to be avenged for the treatment which the border ruffians received during the Kansas difficulties. Proper steps will be taken by the Depart- ment of the West in the premises. suffer for- the want of woolen clothes, especially those from the extreme Southern States. Blankets are very much needed at nights, and. it is considered impossible to supply this want. The troops have no shoes but those they brought from home, and most of them are about used up, and there is no possible means of supplying the article. The cotton crop, which has been pledged“- for the Confederate loan, is not to be removed to the sea-board cities until ready for shipment for fear of seizure. There has been pressed into the Confede- rate service nearly all the teams and horses in the valley of Virginia. Farmers are thus deprived of their usual advantage for filling the ground preparatory to sowing ' their next wheat and corn crops. Forage indigo Ethnic.

THE above subject is just now cre- ating an unusual amount of public interest throughout the province, and affords matter for considerable discussion in political circles. In- a degree of importance that it can no longer be ignored by the legis- lature, and will demand serious consideration at their hands on the opening of Parliament. The ques- tion, as to‘whether the province would be justified in assuming the debts of the various embarassed municipalities, admits of some de- bate. The abstract justice of such a transaction may be settled. with- out any great amount of argument. The matter of expediency,however, will present greater difficulties ; as many plausible reasons may be ad- duced in its favor, which, unless re- ceived with caution, may mislead the unwary. It has been argued that the relief sought should be granted, on the ground that the mu- nicipalities were led to take stock in railroadsâ€"the depreciation of which stock has been such a loss to 'tliem‘â€"-by the inducements held out by government, and that the expectations thus raised have not been realized; and consequently Government should bear the losses that have been the result. It has been answered to this, that if the municipalities had been so fortu- nate as to realize large profits from these investments, they would not have been willing to share them with Government,and therefore Go- vernment should not be required to participate in the loss. This argu- ment we deem unanswerable. But there is another reason, equally valid, which appears to have been overlooked. These mu- nicipalities became holders of rail- road stock, either as a more money speculation, from which they ex- pected to derive a profit, or on ac- count of the direct or indirect bene- fits they expected their particular localities to receive. In either case the object was undoubtedly to be- nefit themselves. If this be the case, then, why should the country be called upon to bear the loss. It will be answered, because the whole country has been as much benefitted by railroads as these par- - ~ - licular localities. Now, if this the banks and buried by Col.

The following account of the seige of Lexington is furnished to the St. Louis Republican by Henry Bradburne, one of Col. Mulligan’s soldiers, who left Lexing- ton on Saturday morningâ€"- “The fort was surrendered on Friday afternoon. 'The men fought for 59 hours without water, and had only 3 barrels of vinegar to quench their thirst during'all that time. There were no springs or wells, of water on the camp ground. The sup- ply was from the river, and was cut off after a desperate fight on Wednesday. The camp ground consisted of about 10 Grill.‘ 10 acres, and was located a short distance from the river. There were breastwork entirely around it, with the exception of the portion next to the river. It was here that the hardest fighting took place. The rebels procured a large number of hemp abales rolled them in advance, and under Ziheir cover gradually succeeded, and se- icured a position in the rear. They then cutoff the supply of water and had the forecompletely surrounded. They made but few charges upon the breastworks.

No arguments have yet been adduced in favor of the one, which may not with equal pro- priety be applied to the other. If it be said that the burden bears more heavily on a few individuals than it would upon the community, and that the province, taken as a whole, secures proportionally grea- ter advantages from Railroads, than those towns that. have assisted so largely in building them.

Both parties are much less inclined for war than: they were six months ago.â€"-- They begin to have some idea of its realities, and to know by expe- rience what it costs. Trade pros- tratedt, commerce ruined, and a debt increasing at the rate of over a million of dollars a day, are sa- crifices too great to make for the mere pleasure of fighting; and the nation that will come forward and propose a reasonable basis of settlement, will confer a lasting blessing on the entire American community. each inhabitant of a town should be made to pay an annual tax of a few cents in the dollar, to meet their liabilities, than that one of these should be obliged to forfeit the great- family to want. If then relief should, by. right-,be extended to embarrassed munici- palities, every individual who has taken stock in Canadian Railroads, and sustained a loss by the opera- tion, may, as a matter of justice, claim to be similarly dealt with; and it is not likely that Government from pecuniary embarrassment, a host of railroad stockholders, be- cause they have been so unfortunate to make unprofitable investments.

SINCE the commencement of’ the present American war, although livmg on the borders of the country in which it is going on,and“ although every faculty exists for the rapid transmission of news,still our means of procuring reliable information are exceedingly limited. In fact, so far as regards accurate details of any important event, we might as well be thousands of miles disrant.â€" Every circumstance is so horribly distorted, according to the fancy of the writer, or the party to which he belongs, that their accounts of battles fought, of killed and wound- ed, or of the bravery of their soldi- ers, are to be received with extreme caution. Reporters are sent out who have never seen a battle, and'who are quite ignorant of military affairs. They are required to fill a certain space of their respective journals with ‘ important news from the seat of war.’ The dry realities will not satisfy the people, and therefore the imagination is drawn upon to meet the demand for ‘ sartling intelli- gence." Their inflated style of re- cording, events of minor conse- quence complete-1y exhausts their vocabulary, when it becomes neces- sary to describe those of real im- portance. Every soldier is a hero, every officer a Napoleon. If both officers and men do not turn their backs on the enemy, they possess undaunted courage; if they stand half an hour‘s fighting their bravery is unparalleled. Some three weeks after the battle of Bull’s Run, we were enabled to obtain, through Mr. Russell, the cOrrespondent of the London Times, the first correct account of‘the enw gagement ; and it is chiefly through the same source that we have hiâ€" therto become acquainted with the actual state of the country, the strength of the respective belliger- ents, and the real nature of the question at issue between the North and South. According to Mr. Rus- sell, whose opinions are formed on the spot, and evidently drawn from the most reliable data, the present struggle will ultimately merge into a contest between Slavery and Abolitionism. Now, although not avowedly, this has been indirectly the case since the commencement. Ever since the declaration of inde- pendence this strdggle has been go- ing on, and the U. S. Government has been carried on to the present time by a system of policy, the basis of which has been compro- mise. Wise politicians long ago foretold,that sooner or later a system so unsound would terminate in an open rupture. Should the late Union be again restored,it can only be maintained by a compromise that will include some scheme for the liberation of the slaves. It can- not be imagined that the North will become a partyto "any compact, by which the iniquitous system against which they have contended for nearly half a century, shall be con- tinued. On the other hand, none but fanatics would propose to abo- .' CHARGE OF TRESPASS.- James G. Moylan, Esqt, Editor of the 0m nadian Freeman, appeared to prefer a, charge against Henry 'l‘hompson,.a bailiff, for trespass committed under the following circumstances '.. It appears that Mr. Moylan’s policy during the Catholic supporters satisfaction. Among those who took exception to the course of the Free- man were Messrs. John Shea and'Jamos Stock.- It happened that Mr. Moylan selected. these parties as Trustees of a deedof trust which he executed in favor of certain friends who en- dorsed for him when he purchased the Free- man into his own. hands, This he did under the impression that they were his most reliable fiiends. It would seem that they have turned out quite the reverse. The recent contro- versy which Mr. McGee forced upon. the Frec- man would seem to have aroused Messrs. Stock and Shea to a keen sense of their responsibility as trustees. Accordingly. on Monday,the 23rd instant. they illegally. andviirogularly undertook to place a Bailiff'in possession of the Freeman office during Mr. Moylan’s temporary absence at dinner. This course, we understand, was taken. in direct opposition to the other par- ties, whose interests are scoured by the trust deed. Mr. M'oylau made the following statement: Yesterday, between three and four o’clock in the afternoon,on_ returning tomy office, I found the defendant there. I asked him his business, when he replied he was in possession. asked him- if he was a Sheriff’s officer. and he replied that he was not, I again inquired about his authority, when he showed me a pa- per. saying it was signed by John Shea and James :tock I repudiated such authority and told him to leave, but he declined. I'tlien went and consulted my counsel. Mr. M. C. Cameron, and on returning, in presence of a witness, after denying defendant’s authority, ordered him to leave the promises. I was about to put him out, when we, caught hold of each other. After much resistance on his part, I put him out of mv office, but he re- mained on my premises, and I sent for a constable. to whom I gave the defendant in charge, During the struggle and before the constable came, I got him down and kept him down for some time with my foot OII him, I let him up on his promise Of becoming quiet and leaving the premises. He did not do so, but challenged me to fight him. first for $50 and then for $30. which I declined. When he told me he was in pessession he did not state the grounds upon which he was acting. The Magistrate. after hearing Mr. Cameron, who appeared for Mr. Moylan. determined to dismiss the case, on the ground that it. did not come within his jurisdiction. Mr. Moylan was then charged on informa- tion with assaulting Henry Thompsomwhile in the execution of his duty as a bailiff, by seizing hold of him and farcibly ejecting him from his promises. and also with throwing him down, seizing him by,the throat, and tramping on his chest with his foot. As the charge had arisen out of the other case. it was als dismissed. ‘ -._.___.â€"m’â€"â€"â€"â€" Auction Sales.

An energetic business man, with business relations ex- tending over a large part of the Division, with an aptitude for canvassing. and strong local influence arising from other causes, Mr. Flint was, perhaps, the best nominee the Opposition could have selected. His shrewdness led him, moreover, early in the contest, to disavow alliance with Mr. Brown, and to rejoice over the ex-leader’s defeat; and thus he had the rare advan- tage of fighting the Opposition battle un‘ encumbered with the Globe or its proprie- tor. He had an abundance of coadjutors in the conduct of the campaign. With the exception of Mr. Brown, all shades of the Opposition entered the field in his behalf. The Tory VVallbridge co-opera- led with the most rabid Gritâ€"excelling him, indeed, in the rudeness of his manner and the recklessness of his statements. From high and from afar, the Opposition vultures congregated in the Trent Division --â€"-pursuing Mr. Smith with a fiendish rifl- .lice, coming and retailing the filthiest slan- der, and fighting inch by inch as though the fate of parties and the Province de- pended upon the defeat of the Postmaster General. , Mr. Smith, then, may well be proud of the result. THE NOVA SCOTIA GOLD DIG- GINGS. From the Halifax Express. Sept. 14. We learn from a gentleman who has been on a visit to the Luneburg gold dig- gings, that the parties engaged there are dping remarkably well, especially those en- gaged on the shore claims. Instead of the washings being confined to a few claims it appears now that they extend round into the back bay for nearly a mile. Some of the parties engaged at the washings make their half ounce a day,.while others are not doing quite" so well. On the upland claims a number of men are at work, and some very fine specimens of gold have been taken out. At the present time there are about five hundred men at work, and We are pleased to learn that everything is con- ducted in an orderly manner. We have had no intelligence of late from Tangier, but at late accounts everything was going on satisfactory to the miners. The New York Scientific American, a work that can be relied upon, makes the following remarks about the Tangier gold quartz :â€" NOVA Sco'rIA Gor.o.-â€"â€"We have late. ly seen a sample of gold quartz from Tanâ€" gier river, N.

Quite a number of persons have gone to the gold diggings, and as this province is known to abound in coal, iron and other valuable minerals, it has become Of still greater im~ portance by the discovery of the precious metal. speak to a friendâ€"Dr.tHairy.

It appears that deceased had started late on Monday evening ‘to walk to Toronto,. but having imbibed freely during the early: part of the evening, he wandered down as- far as Mr. Vick’s Sash Factory, and; walked upon the platform? in front, pro- bably to rest himself, and in his stupor’fell: over backwards, falling a distance of nine- feet upon his head into quite a narrow place, where he was found the next morning, resting nearly his whole weight on th back of his head, with his face pressing i I to his chest. It is supposed that in the fall: {he was so much stunned as to be unable to- extricate himself, and was consequently ' soon suffocated. Deceased had been. working in the neighborhood with the farmers for about six weeks, and had! borne a good character and possessed con-- siderable intelligence. He was rather below middle size, forbcad rather high. hair nearly black, whishers long, dark anth a little inclined to auburnâ€"Economist. THE EXHIBITION.â€"The London Exhiâ€" bition is a great success beyond doubt. The number of articles shown is large and the attendance of visitors in proportion.
