On Monday last, after a long desul- tory fight which commenced on Satur- day morning, lliel's position at Batochc . was. carried at the point of the bayonet. ,thc loyal Grenadiers charging in gal- lant style and not a man of them flinch- ing. The rebels, (lrivcn lrom their pits ; and entrenchmcnts, took to flight and ivorc pursued for some distance by the l victorious whites. The latest official report says there were only five killed and fifteen wounded on the government l side during the three days; the rebel loss is not known, but is believed to have been heavy. The steamer North- rule was at Batochc’s on Saturday, but hm] to go down the river for wood, and did not get back again, though she was frcrpicntly heard whistling around a l bend. Though a but live was kept up = on her by the rebels (or a distance ofl six miles, only three of her men were wounded, as her upper deck was aban- doned and she was steered from below. , Six or seven prisoners, all men, escaped from the rebels or were rescued. Neith- er llicl nor Dumont was killed or cup- llll'ctl, and it is believed that they crossed the river and went west. Til-(lay (Friday) about noon a tele- grain from lialtlcfurd was received at thc Falls stating that a train of thirty- onc waggons from Swift Current laden with Winchester rifles, ammunition and provisions, was surprised by Pound- , maker’s Indians ten miles from Battle- i'ord and twenty one of thc tcamstct‘s‘ , made prisoners, the other ten escaping. l 3 This is bad news. as the rebels were: hali'stnrved and badly armcd. and this opportune capture of the supplies they : stand so much in need of will be a great ; efforts put forth.

A tclcgram has since been received to the effect that large numbers of half- brccds are coming in and surrendering to Gen. Middleton, and that an advance towards Prince Albert is to be made immediately. For 'The Volunteers. At a meeting held in Mr. Jordan's hall, Fenclon Falls. on the evening of Thursday, May 7th, a committee was’ ormcd for the purprlsc of devising means for sending aid to the volunteers in the North-West. The following la-i divs were elected oflicc bearers: Mvsfl Watch, president; Mrs. Aylmcr, secre- tary; and Mrs. Kains. treasurer. It; was resolved that Mrs. Dr. l'). S.

Those who seek to train the yoqu aright in this matter cannot re- ceive too much commendation, for the importance of the work is not to be estimated. The ladies of the Union do most earnestly appeal to those in whose hands rc>ts the result of the present ‘ agitation to do their duty to the boys 9 and girls of our village. You, who have «gPitch, Tar, Rosin, Oakum,’ fair sons and daughters growing up around you, do you ever think when you See a wretched drunknrd reeling the streets or per-chance lying in the gutter that he was once as fair and yet step by step he has fallen, through the influence of strong drink. If we were to tell you that some day your boy, >0 brave and noble now, would be such as be, you would be indignant at the If we told you that your be a counterpart of the drunken, brawl- ing, shameless creature from whom you turn in disgust, how you would scorn such an assertion. The angels of hen- ven might well weep as they gaze on those wrecks of humanity, and what have you to assure you that those you hold so dear may not sink just as low ‘3 Are they likely to prove stronger than others when the fatal temptation is flaunted bciorc their eyes. Only one L'lass at a time, but the ruin of body and soul is none less sure and certain. What are you going to do ? Are you quite willing to run the risk ? If your son or daughter, your brother or sister is lost through strung drink’, when you stand at the tribunal of God, what will you say when their blood is required at your hand. I think I hear you, “ Lord, I voted for the saloon. I did not think my children would ever go down to ruin thereby; but it is not my fault. They ought to have known better than to give way to drink; I am sure I tried to give them a good training; I set them a good example. I always quit drinking before I was intoxicated, so I really am not to blame.” Do you think God will accept such excuses ? And if you don't care for their eternal welfare, what about their temporal welfare ? If you love your children, if you have their best interests at heart, vote for the Scott Act. The dangers of intent- peraucc have been sounded in your ears till the theme has become stalc to you. You take this step with your eyes wide open. You cannot plead ignorance, and ’if you vote against the act, following the inclination of appetite, or for love of gain, or because it may hurt your profession or business, and should your own eternal ruin be the penalty, tcm- perancc people canâ€"to quote the words of the salvation army captainâ€"say " :\mcu to your damnation." We would cntrcat our temperance men to come out boldly in this cause. So vast ‘ an i‘.'ll must be met with all our avaih below is shall go down in the Contest. it you art- uot doing your ut- most against the gigantic wrong, you are compromising with the evil by be- ing passive in the struggle. Ask your- selves are you doing :1” you can, and if you can conscientiously say " yes " We are satisfied. The Imagined WdITfiâ€"GWS. We have received the sixth number of the popular Illuslrufcll il'ur Nuns. The front page contains a picture which will be of intense, though mournful, in- terest to Canadians. It represents the l burial of the volunteers who fell at the battle of Fish Creek. A graphic sketch shows the attack of half-breeds on thc steamer carrying the first expedition for the relief of Battlcford. The com- mencement of the fight at Duck Lake is given from a sketch furnished by a North-West Mounted l’oliccmau. The advance guard of the lloyal Grctladicrs passing Humboldt, and the men of '- U " Company, (Infantry School) re- :turning from a rabbit hunt are from sketches froth the samc source. The entertainment of the 7th Fusiliers, of London, at Port Arthur, is shown on 1 page four, also the Ottawa Sharpshoot- ers (ii. iii. F. ii.) at Winnipcg. This number contains the usual two-page srquplement, which is a line one. and represents, in thch sketches, Toronto ‘ ladies receiving and packing contribu- tions for the soldiers at the front.

The Disfranchisement Bill. (From the Toronto Ncws.) Seldom has public opinion condemned any measure introduced into Parliament as decidedly and unequivocally as it now condemns Sir John Macdonald's ll‘uu- chisc bill. No one outside of the vcriest party hacks who are prepared to support the administration through thick and thin, has a single word to utter in its favor. The more closely its provisions are scrutinized the worse do they ap- pear, and the more evident is the sinis- ter motive influencing its promoters. It is a deliberate scheme to secure : Tory majority irrespective of popular senti- ment, and to prevent the expression of the will of the people at the ballot-box. The public have not asked for this measure. It was not made an issue at the polls at the last general election. It was not discussed in the press prior to its being sprung on the house and the country. There has been no opportunity for the people to pronounce upon the question. No public meetings have been held demanding such legislation. No petitions have been signed in its favor. It is wholly and solely an emanation. from the scheming brain of the leader l of thc got'crnlncnt in his own interest and that of his party, conceived in the spirit of an .‘lbwlllltl ruler rather than that oflhc servant of the people under represcutativc institutions. liven were the measure as liberal.just, and states- maulikc as it is rctrogn-ssivc, unfair, pic have llCVl'r demanded or pronounced it as superfluous and uncllled for. : lint there are pu‘itit‘c reasons. of the gravest character why the bill should be dctcrmim-dly opposed in the interests of lo the first place, so far :15 Ontario and some other provinces are concerned, it is a rcoctioncry step, narrowing the ba- thc ballot-box large classes now in the ship. It is considerably in» liberal in ; its [)I‘Ot‘l~lul)5 than Mr. Mowat's act ofé last session. which virtually establishesl manhood suffrage, and which. but for: the Conlempiutcd interference oi the lb ’ miniou government. would regulate elec- tions for the house of commons.

DALâ€"Friday of la-t vvcck : The pnqosed enfruuchiscment oi the} lndiansua dangerous and subversive scheme. There are no doubt individu- ‘ :15 among the Indians still retaining their tribal associations who are intelli- gent and independent enough to exer- cise the franchise. But they are the exceptions. The majority of these wards of the nations are ignorant, imâ€" provident and slothful. They have not the qualities necessary for citizenship. . They feel none of its responsibilities. undertake none of its duties, and ought uot to be endowed gratuitously with its rights. They are not identified with the progress of the white Communitiesl around them. As regards thusc whol are educated and fairly civilized, thei law already provides a means by which l they can divest tllcmsclvcs of their sta- l tus as Indians and take their place as ‘ l l citizens along with their fellow~Canadi- ans of other races. If the conditions , are too onerous, that may be good rea- son for relaxing them, but it is no reason at all for throwing open the polls . indiscriminately to ignorant and bru- l talized barbarians, who know and care nothng about our politics and will be ready amenable to the influences ol bribery and government courcion. l But all other objections are triflingl and insignificant as compared with the outrage on popular rights and free in-l stitutions by the creation of "‘ revising barristers " having not merely, as their title would indicate, the revision, butl the preparation of the voters’ list cn-i tircly in their hands. The designation is taken from English legislation, but the mode ofappointmcnt and powers of this new brood of officials differ widely from those of their British prototypes. The latter are appointed by the judges and removable by them. The creatures upon whose work Sir John depends to secure the triumphs of his parzy at the polls next election will be appointed by the government. That they will be ex- treme partizans and use their power unscrupulously for party ends is a mat- ter of course. The character and work of the men appointed as license commis- sioners sufficiently forcshadows the man- ner in which this new machinery will be worked. It need not be supposed that wholesale disfranchisement of Grit voters, or enormous additions of Tories to the li~t will be resorted to. That would be unnecessary us well as danger- ous. Where parties are so evenly bal- anced as they are in most constituen- cies, a few votes will suffice to turn the scale. It. will be the place of the re- vising barristers to create these few, by quietly dropping a Grit here and there from the list and putting on now and then a Tory having some colorable pro text to a vote. There are always doubt- ful casesâ€"men whose qualifications are just above orjust below the mark. The revising barristers, active politicians, knowing evcryone, and acquainted with their circumstances, can easily contrive so as to let the Tories qualify and strike off the Grits, and still maintain a show of fairness. The task will be all the easier. because the lists are not used for assessment purposes, but simply for voting, and if a few men in each divi- sion are rated at a high enough figure to give them a vote no one is interested in raising any objection. If those fairly entitled are dropped from the list, they alone are likely to complainâ€"the com- munity will be apatheticâ€"the omission costs them nothing. The bill must be defeated. The time for action is short, and it must, there- fore, be all the more decisive. Now or never let the people show, by even" means in their powerâ€"by agitation, petition, rcmonstrancc in every form available, that they regard this measure as corrupt, dangerous and demoralizing, and opposed to the spirit of free insti- tutious. The Scott Act Petition. Mr. J. It. McNeillic, general secre- tary of the county association, has com- pleted the petition for the submission of the act, and on Saturday of this week it will be deposited in the sheriff's oliicc for public examination. It is a formid- ablc document, by actual count there being 5,6181mmcs on the petition. This is 500 names more than the numbcl‘l required to secure the submission of the act. The cam'assers‘havc done their work intelligently and with great thor- I oughness, as is shown by the fact that out of so great a number of names not. l more than thirty have been struck off by Messrs. Smith and Dean, the solici~ tors ofthe as~ociation, who have com- pared cvcry name with the revised < voters' list. The list covers 120 sheets prepared for that purpose.

While reading Bunynn's ” Holy War” and trying to pass away one of our late warm spring days in reading and meditation, the occupation and weather alike proved too much for me, and I fell asleep. And as I slept I dreamed that 1 was wandering in a land strange to me, and yet runny things were remarkably familiar. The place was very beautiful, and to the casual observer there seemed no hint upon the fuce of the land. The men were industrious and the women thrifty, the young men and maidens lair and beautiful and the children lmppv Yet as I gazed upon this beuuteous land-I became conscious that there was one thing in particular that greatly marred the peace and happiness of its people. While some ubhorrcd this, others tolerated, runny warm- ly upheld and thousands clasped to their bosoms the destroyer that frequently left them lower than the beasts of the field. And 08] thought ofull that this fair coun- try might be if freed from this ill-busing thing, my heart nclled within me, for 1 saw no deliverance. And as 1 sorrowcd, one came tome and said, “ Sister, why wcepest thou ? ” And I said, “ Sir, l grieve that so many of my fellow-mortals are going down to eternal destruction,” and I bowed mv head and wept again. And he said, “ Lift up thine eyes and tell me what thou scest,” and [obeyed him. “ I see,” said I, “ a vast. multitude of women, and they are going in Man open door.” “Raise thine eves," said he, “ and tell me what is written ribovc the door." Andl looked, and behold a pledge was written there, and all who passed lic- ncnth were pledged neither to touch, taste nor handle the uccursed thing. And I said, “ Sir, what menu these things '3” “ I will tell thee,” he replied. “ The women thou secst are those who hnvc handed themselves together to use their utmost endeavour to banish the evil from among them.” And 1 said, “ To what are they looking tor strength '3" And he said “ A slur has arisen in the cast, and the name thereof is ‘Seott Act.” And in: said, “ 'l‘uru thine cst in another direction and look towards the south," and I looked, and behold the men in vast numbers hall gone in together for the purpose of consulting upon this tnomcutous question. Then was my heart glad within me. And hr.- took me by the hand and he said, “ Let us go and son and hear whereof they are speaking And We entered in with the women first. "nil lll'lltllll they did talk together about nmny things, but I heard not the sound of that which had grieved me so.
