Tuz Leader has devoted its best energies of late to the discussion of the important question of the establishmicnt» of a through route of travel on Brilis\A merican territory between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans ; amd not unnaturally, for geographical reaâ€" sons, holds that Mr. Cargzor‘s schemeâ€"the Huron and Ontario ship canalâ€"ought to form an important and imdispensable link in that chain â€" of travel. . The Leader is, ‘however, not ungenerous ; it affects, and we believe rsincerely _ manifests, a friendly spirit towards the Oitawa and French River project, which to a large extent must be looked upon as a‘ competing line with the Huroo and Ontario.~ We shall let Ottaws, August:28. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1868. T HE 1,00 a year in The Ottawa Canal scheme does not rest merely on its commercial! merita; though sh?, to Canada, are far in excess of those of‘the Huron and Ontaro; but we admit willingly that from the United States point of view the latter ought to be the favorite. The Ottawas scheme has ‘political, or rather national, claims of the highest order ; and it i3 also of the utmost iimportance as a work of defence. Not only â€"would it connect the St. Lawrence with the Upper Lakes, through The interior of Canads, but it would,. As we have stated on many former occaâ€" sions, if the Hurin and Ontario project is a practicable one; and it aâ€"company can be founad willing to undertake its constrtuction, on condition of obtaining the laund grant, on terms reasonably favorable to settlement, we have not the slightest objection to its construction, nor would we advise that the Legislature should hesitate in granting the required quantity of land on safe terms. No doubt, such canal would benefit the Proâ€" vince of Ontario; but we think it3 construcâ€" tion concerns Oswego and New York, rather than Canadlian interests. â€" Nevertheless Ontario can well afford the land in consideraâ€" tion of the enormous expenditure of torty or filty millions of dollars, the greater part of which would be laid out within the Province; and for this reason, we could wish that . the ‘iwo . projects may not be regarded merely in the light of rivals ;. least of all should we desire to conâ€" vey the idea that tlie construction of one involves the abandonment of the other. â€" " We feel no jealousy ‘of the Ottawa route and have no disposition to disparage it. We look upon all improvements of the channels and highways of communication as calculated to produce the most important and beneficial influences on the growth and advancement of the country, and say, with all earnestness and sincerity, let us have the Ottawa and French River route made thoroughly available for commerce as soon as our circumstances will permit, or the necessary arrangements for its accomplishment can be effected consistently with alil the interests concerned. The only ground on which we are disposed toâ€" take isâ€" sue with our neighbors of Montreal and Otâ€" tawa is when their project is made to stand in the way of ‘ours. We should like to ree both the Ottiwa and the Huron and Onâ€" tario Canals undertaken and completed as early .as <possible, believing that the rapid growth of western production, and the local and forign traffic which these imâ€" provements must develope, will be sufticient to su:tain and make them remunerative, while avy intelligent survey and consideration of the vast and almost boundless regious which will, in all future time, be the prolific feeders of these and other chaunels to the ocean, must shut out all question of their future proâ€" fitableness. If, however, both of them caunot be effected at this time, and one of them must be déterred, let a comparison of their respecâ€" tive merits be candidly and impartially made, and let that one be deciged upoun that is really most promotiveof the broad and general inâ€" terests of tho Dominion, regardless of all merely local, partial and sectional consideraâ€" tions, Wo shall notice some of the pretenâ€" tions put forth by the gdvocates of the Ottawa route, and give our views ofx comparative merits of both, and we desire to do so in a spirit of fairness and liberality." by means of the Rideau Canal, form a connection between the eastern extremity of Lake Ontario and the waters of Lake liuron, by a route the moust inaccessible to any hosâ€" tile foree which could tlreaten the integrity of the sountry. Its construction would, in fact, be only in pursuance of the policy saneâ€" tioned by the Imperial authorities forty years ago, wheun the building of the Rideau Canal was determined on, and the majestic hlufts overhanging the " Grand Riuver," detiapart as the future central seat of British authority upon this Continent. The practicability of the construction of the Ottawa Ship Caral vizFrench R:ver to the waters of Lake Huron, has long ago teen placed beyond a doubt by the explorations of competent and trustworthy engineers. Its chances of ultimate realizaâ€" tion â€"will not be jeoparlised by the success of the Leader‘s _ favorite project for the fuffilment of Mr. Carrzor‘s dreams ; and therefore we think that any friend of the Otâ€" tawa Canal is only doing it an injury when be attempts to disparage the other, or to throw obstacles in the way of any legitimate effort to secure its construction. The Ottawa Canal has scarcely a special Provincial reâ€" commendation in its favor, unless in the inâ€" terest of Quebec. It is essentially a Dominion project, and one which, if rightly understood, would be held as of no less importance to } (?uuda, and to the Empire, on national grounds, than the Intercolonial Railway. We should liketo see the Leader espouse these views ; but in the meantime we must give it credit, above the great majority ot its confreres, for treating ali questions of public improvement in the light of general rather than of mere local integests. . our contemporary state its viewsa in its own words. â€"It says : * s These liberal â€"sentiments would have pleased us somewhat betterâ€" hal not the Leader followed them up‘ by the recital of some specious, and some entirely unfounded, objections to the Ottawa project. «To the former, it is hardly necessary to make a repiy, and to the latter, it ought to be enough tor our contemporary to remind it of the fact that Warrer Sgqaxt‘v, Eâ€"q., C. E., estimates the cost of copstruction at only some twenty millions of dollars, whereas even Mr. Kivas Trrry, C. E., puts the estimated cost of the Huron and Ontario at twice that amount. It is nunsense, therefore, to speak of the conâ€" struction of the O:tawa canal as " all but impracticable"‘ in the face of such estimates, from the surveyors of the respective canal routes. # ~ Tus Montreal Gazeite of yesterday says :â€" ‘We regret to learn of the death of Mr. Geo. Van Felson, Private Sécretary to the Licutenâ€" antâ€"Governor of Quebec. Hedi#d, deeply and wide‘y regretted, at the age of 41. The following letter was published in the Harifax CAronicle of the 25th, and telegrapbed to the Gilobe. Mr. Hows maintains the honorâ€" atle course laid down in his previou«s letter, when the infnri:fid Recorder insinuated the propriety of treating the Canadian Ministers with discourtesy. The revival of the stayâ€" awayâ€"frofaâ€"Ottawa cry is but the repetition of the attempt made last winter, to magnify some of the more ambitious of the local members at the expense of the representatives of the Proâ€" vince in the Canadian Parliament, but it sigzmally failed then, and is not likely to be successful now. Mr. How_r‘s tone is manly and outspoken : To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle. Siz,â€"A writer in the Recorder of the 21st inst., who signs himself " Oue of the People," makes a sort of personal appeal to me by name, and wishes me to tell him whether 1 intend to "go to Ottaws." . He commands me to speak out, in something of a dictatorial tone, intended, I assume, to be offensive and insuitâ€" ing. Hoe does not spemk out himself, but writes under an anonymous signature. i‘lll not follow his example, but write under my HOoN. JOSEPH hHOWE AGAIN 1X PRINT. "We insert elsewhers a letter from Mr. Dunscomb, the efficient Collector of Customs of the Port of Quebzc, on the subject of Cusâ€" toms Regulations, as they relate to tradse with the Marittme Provinces. This letter contains the important announcement that the Coastâ€" ing Regulations lately promulgated relieve cargo, unless in bond, from any examination between the ports of the Dominion. Mr. Dunscomb does not state the date of these Regulations, but we know that it must be very recent, The Regulations themselves ars all that can be desired. They contain the precise » ground that we indicated, and cannot fail to . I again mean to "speak out," but upon anâ€" other subject. . When the members of the House et Commons presented themselves on the lu«tâ€" ings at the last election, not a man of them was asked to pledge himself that if elected he should not go to Ottawa, and not one of them tendered bis services on these terms or proâ€" posed any such policy. When the" members .of both Houses met at Halifax, it was deterâ€" mined that an appeal should be made to the Imperial Parliament for a repeal of the Act, and pending the issue, all the gentiecmen elected should discharge their legiglative duties. In November, the members of the House of Commons went to Oitawa, and for forty days they conducteg themselvés like men of spirit and integrity. < By their abilify, firmness, and gentlemanly manners, they won the respect of the members to whom they stood oppos=d. ‘The blandisnments of gociety, the resources of patronage, the influence of theâ€"Executive, whatever they were, were exâ€" haustsd upon these gentlemen and wéere reâ€" sisted. ‘They performed their Guties under piotest ; they refused to connect themselves with cither of the Canadian qparties,; they neither asked nor expected any favor at the bands of the Dominion Government.| They returned pure‘and stainless to their country, and disregarding the illâ€"considered opinions expressed in some sections of it in violation of the agreement come to in October, they teâ€" turned to close the session, and came back in the) spring to Nova Scotia with heads erect and pure and stainless still Are these the men upon whom doubi and suspicion are to be cast by anonymous scribblers inâ€"the newsâ€" papers, or by blind leaders of the blind, who: baving no practicable or iutelligible policy to | propose themselvres, are auvxions to throw doubt and blame on those by whom it is least ‘ deserved, and who are the men that it is thought politic by some persons just now ‘to doubt and to malign ? McDonald, whostruck . the first blow at Confederation, when others faltered and held:backâ€"who won a noble county to our cause by great personal exerâ€" tion â€"and whose able speech delivered in my hearing in the House of Commons challenged by its style and manner the involuntary admiâ€" ration of a great audience who could not share his opinions ? Is McLennan to be lecâ€" turedâ€"the worthy soun of a worthy gire, in whom love of country and sturdy indepenâ€" dence aPe hereditary, and who is second to no man in this country for originality, skill and integrity in debate, and who defeated in his ‘stronghold the delegate from Colchester? If I knew anything of that gentleman, I ‘kunow that ° he is about the last man in Nova Scotia who would submit to be schooled by scribes who bave ro such record to show, and who do not even give their names as a guarantee to the public that he would suffer by comparison. (Hugh Macdonald.is, I suppose, another of these men who is to be improved and rendered faithful by this sort of discipline. This gentleman gave wany months of his time to the cause as a delegate to England, with no recognized official position, with no money compensation for his time or practice ; and coming back from England, as he came back from Ottawa sternly upright and personally pure, he def:ated the Attorneyâ€"General under circumstances that all of us know to have been peculiarly tryidg and difficult. I migbt complete the list, but trust T have said enough to illustrats the folly of attempting to shake confidence in such men as to dictate to them what they shall do or leare undone. Of my own claims to some share of confidence in the trying and difficnlt circumstances in which this country is placed, I shall say nothing more than this, that I shall act in the future as in the past upon my own independent judgment, irrespective of clamor or dictation from any quarter. Having disâ€" charged my duty as a delegate and as a memâ€" ber of the convention, I am content for the present to let others discharge theirs who are called to act in a different sphere, â€" Whether I Shall or shall not go to Ottawa again will deâ€" pend upon circumstances ‘of which I shall judge when the time comes. Parliament .will not meet till February. We have all got six months to think about the matter, and before they are expended, there will be ample time to try any experiments which others are suggestâ€" ing or may suggest, and to enable the country to judge of the value of the results.

When discourteâ€" ous and rude behaviour towards the members of the Canadian Government coming bere was suggested, I spoke out again, and rebuked, as I believe, with the approbation of all rightâ€" thinking men, a spirit which, if indulged, would have disgraced our country, Those who have attended the Convention| know whether I concealed my thoughts from that assambly, but as it chose to deliberate with closed ‘doors, I shall make no reforence to what passed within its walls. _ a To the Editor of the Gazette. ow i.

She was cut short, however, by being desired to take " the book" and kiss it, but it being doubtiful whether she did so or not, she was requested to do it again. Then she plunged into the grievance anew and told how Maggie threw big stones at her and gave her the black eye which she exhibited, and all for nothing at all. When she had finished all that was deemed by the court relevant to the question at issus, Maggic was let loose at her by being told she might â€"ask Bber any questions slhie thought proper.

One of the Directors, G«0. D. Dickson, Esq., went out omm Wednesday of. last week for the purpos: of superintending the crushing of a f:w tons of wore. ‘The «ore put through the mill consisted of #even touns which was a poition of that rejected from previous crushings, and yiclded $10 per ton. The experiment was made under the direction of Mr. Dunstan, the process being the old one of sluices and blankets, a very simple and cheap one. The mill and the amalgamating process worked satisfactorily, and it is felt confident that whatever improvements may hereatter be made in the separating process, that now used demonstrates the fact thet the rock in which gold is not visible will pay to crush. \ feeling has been provoked already, owing to _ The arrival of Mr. Davis at Liverpool has naturally excited a good deal of interest and attention. Nor is there any reason to wonder at the warm reception he has met with ; tuough there is much.cause to rejoice at the quiâ€"t and unostentatious character which the demonstrations of respect and sympathy bave assumed. Indeed, wherever he may show himself among Englishmen, Mr. Davis is sure to be welcomed with every mark of csteem and admiration. The heroes of an unfortunate cause are always popular with us, especially when they bave struggled and suffered on beâ€" half of a people struggling for national indeâ€" pendencé. Kossuth, fresh from a Turkish deâ€" tention and from the Hungarian rebellion, was greeted with enthusiastic applause by every class of the community ; even Mazzini‘s name was popular until the recollections of the galâ€" lant defence of Rome was effaced by other and less bhonorabl= associations. | Political exiles always find us predisposed in their faver, whatever their party and whatever the cause for which they suffcred. But zo mau could appeal more strongly to English sympathics than Mr. Jeff Davis. In the first place, he reâ€" presents a kindred people, a nation of English blood and English speech, whose asse:â€"tion of their independence was based on principles thoroughly congerial to our own, andâ€" whose gallantry in the field and fortitude in enâ€" durance awakened in the heasts of Enelishmen the strongest feelings of affection and admiraâ€" tion that were ever excited in this country by any foreign people or party. Again, the southâ€" en cause had a peculiar bold on our symâ€" pathies becatie it was, to begin with, the cause of constitutional right and | established law againet the domination of a mere numerical majority ; and because it was the cause otthe weak against the strong, of eight millions against twenty. That hold was constantly decpencd by the heroic counage and brilliant chivailry of the Southerners, and by the splenâ€" did achievements and admitable qualities of their readers. i â€"Mr. Dickson, in company with some other gentlemen, extended hbis observations to an examination of the ‘mine, and on Saturday afternoon put ina blast on the floor «of the " stopeing,‘" about 25 feet below the surface. The csult of the blast was thi discovery of the lost lode ofrich rock, with the slate wall on the south. Seywral large piecces of a greyish rose color were thrown out by«this blast, some of which Mr. Dickson brought down with him, and which can be seen at his tfiice.> These specimens, weighing fiom thrce toâ€" thirty pounds, are richly impregnated with gold, seams of the precious metalâ€"running the entire r10ck. â€" They are some oi the finest «pecimens of quartz with visible gold which we have ever seen,. The "stopeing" extends 60 fect east, and 40 feet west from the downward or main shaft, and from the extreme cast of the "stope" a panful of dirt strap«d out from an ochreous seam (which is visible the whole hâ€"ight of the person, of the cause for which he labored and the gallant people who had entruste4 their fortunes to his hand. His subsequent sufferâ€" ings and the cruel wrongs he bas endured with such unbroken spirit and such undaunted forâ€" titude, have attracted towards him a still deeper sympathy and respect ; and, out«ide of a small sect of fanatics whose sympathiesand wishes are olways on the opposits side to those of their countrymen, there is no Englishâ€" man who would not pay to Jefferson Davis the tribute of reverence due to a great nature and a great calamity. > © stope,") yielded, when washed, geveral shows of gold. Pans of dirt and broken quartz taken from the bottom of the shaft also yielded rich shows. A.G. Northrup and Reuben Paitterâ€" son, Esqs., two other directpre, went out on Monday, and, after an examination of the proâ€" perty, «cxpress their Conviction that the mine is exceedingly rich, and they too are fully satisfied that it will turn out to be all that they expected, and recommend thos> interested who have any doubt about it to spend two or three days in making a personal exauijuation. These exp:riments are hbighly satisfectory, confirming, as they do, the existence of gold in paying quantities, and it is to be Loped that the temporary embarrassments of the company may speedily lLe removed, so that the reâ€" sourtes of the mine msy be thoroughly deâ€" veloped. The Directors bave commenced sinking a new shaft on the top of the hill, about a h«nâ€" dred and twenty feet noitheast of the old shaft, from which three pans of dirt were taken, at a depth of three fect from the surface, every one of which gave good shows of gold, and,the surface inaications go to show that the shaft is avove the main lode,. Experiments were also made with the pan from two other koles on the hill, and with quartz <taken therefrom and crushed in a mortar, all of which yiélded gold in paying quantities, Moreover, Mr. Davis commands our symâ€" pathies on his own account. ; Little known to us when he first took his place at the head of the Confederate Government, his character, as it was displayed underall the trials and resâ€" ponsibilities of that high position, under the vicissitudes of war and in the darkness of the final catastropheâ€"bis sutes:nmhip, his adâ€" ministrative skill, his unbâ€"nding courage, his unswerving rectitade, kis unfailing resolution «â€"â€"won for him individually a}regard only secâ€" ond.to that felt for his country, and made him appear a worthy represectative, in his own [From the London Morning Herald, August 12.

The peasants of the valley were rushing to and fro, drivingâ€" the catgle into safe quarters, and then ail the eyes were awatching one of the most glorious and overwhelming sights the visitors to Chamounix could desire to see. My pen is too ‘weak to describe the commotion this mighty avalanche created, every moment adding fuel to its course, tos<ing up clouds of sprey, bringing with it pine treos, hbuge bowiders, rude bridges, and deserted chalets, until it reached the pretty Cascade dua Dart, when the noisewas most deafening. The fallâ€" ing mass here, filling the gully and gaining speed at every exertion, left the course the stream usually *takes, and tearing down pize trees, opened an immense tiack and ove;â€" flowed the meadows and gardens of the Hotel Royal, destroying whole fields of barley and potatoes, and, after spending its fury for twenty minutes on meadow and peasant land, the muddy mass formed itself into a large lake, which will remain sometime to be reâ€" garded by toyrists as an event that is very rars in the valley of Chamounix."‘ . the cure of rheumatism, pleurisy, neuralgi1, tooth . ache, headâ€"ache, sprain:, bruises, bowel comâ€" plzints, &c, Sold by alt medicine dealers, Wuo Wournp se Wirwour t.â€"None, we ure ::n. ;’r they knew the 'hOIIMIl effect the ©Canaâ€" an Pain Destroyer" has upon all kings of and pains.
