THE INTEROCEANIC RALILWAY AND | BRITISH COXNECTION. The Ottawa Cimes. There were two very important and noteworthy features connected with the opening of the Canada Central Railway to which we desire to draw attention ; one was the unanimous conviction that seemed to be impressed upon the minds of every one present that an . Interoceanic Railway was an absolutg, necessity of our immeâ€" diat» future, the second was the desire exâ€" pressed with equal unanimity for a mainâ€" Honu.

The annexationists in disguise who talk Independence, would have been considerably disgusted had they been prééent at Snd Point on Thursd :7, for they would have found that the people of the Ottaws valley appreciate and unâ€" derstand how much grander and more briltiant a future lies before us, if we sucâ€" ceed in dereloping the resources of the northern portion of this continent as a porâ€" tion of the British Empire, th-mldpu-‘ sibly be ours if we were nominally * independent," but in realty dependent for our national existence upon the genâ€" erosity and forbearance of the American Republic. ® ‘The two questions, British connection and the construction of the Interoceanic Railway, are very intimately connected ;â€" we believe that to a greater or less extent they are dependent one upon the other, When we go to British capitalists and ask them to furniszh the necessary funds for the construction of a rowl through our territory across this contiment, we shall not only beable to offer them a certain amount of land as security, but also the â€" means of _ controlling . the Chinese and Japanese trade with more certainty than they cin at present hope to do. We can offer them a secure road to India and the East, which would be available at all times" when the overâ€" lind route, by way of Alexandria, might way of. the Cape of â€" Good Hope attended with dangâ€"rs and delays. ‘Thus the capitalists of Engind when they are asked to furnish means {or the construction of this road, are offered something more thin a mere ordinary investment with a fair prospect of direct pecuniary return ; they are at the same time afforded an opporâ€" tunity of conferring a substantial commerâ€" dlal and political benefit upon the Mother Country. a We are convinced that if this matter could be placed before the people of Engâ€" land in its proper light ; if they could be made to understand the faot that we own the shortest route from the Atlantic to the Pacilic ocean, even the London Times would cease to urge the abandonment of Canvia to its own resourses, and would reâ€" asognhouclurly.'.wodo,\hiw lof preserving the. col.nial commection. \Canacla must either remain British, or she imust become American..

No doubt an Inter colonial Rulway will be built at some time or other whether we remain as we now are or become annexed to the Republic. The advantages which .the Canadian route of. fers are so considerable, and the necessity West is so . obyious,, : that it may . be _ regarded, humanly <â€" speakâ€" ing.. as a certainty of: the future. It is for the British people to decide thereâ€" fore whether they or the Americans shall obtain the control of the Asisatic trade by means of this road. _ It is for them to say whether "this Canala of ours" the future home of many milions of the English speaking race, shall become, a« far as they ure concerned,a foreign country, or remain as now, as thoroughly British as the Moth erâ€"land . _ Mr. Giraves in the course of his very eloquent speech on Thursday told us t the people of the United Kingdom appreciate the connection lwitb Canada, and so far ag the great majority are concerned we believg that his opinion in correct. t let him ond those Englishâ€" men who like him hqve had an epportuni ty of seeing what thisg country is, and what are the feelings which animate its people, } tell the e of England whait they havre heard and geen,and then they will learn to believe, as we do,that the future glory and welfare of England depends as much upon the retention of Canada as an integral porâ€" tion of theEmpire, as it dges upon the deâ€" fence of Cornwall or of Kent. We cannot conclude this brief notice of this important question withous thanking Mr. Graves for his cordial expressions of sympathy and good will, and for the assurances which he gare us of the kindly and fraternal feelings with which we are regarded by our fellow subjects in Britain. We would that those words of his could be heard or read in every Canadian home, so. that the peo ple of this country from Halifax to the Pacific, might know, that in spite of the teachings of doctrinhaires, the hearts of Englishmen still beat in unison with ours, and that they are yet animated by feelings ‘of pride and affect.on for their kinsmen across the sea. «omm &A > UNCALLED FUR ATTACK. $ for the construction of the line in order to the adequate development of the North West is _ so _ obyious, â€" that it may . be regarded, hu.htn‘ly :p‘tk Our contemporary the CÂ¥fizen has boi indulging,in strictures upon some remar on Republicanism which appeared in the Truzs a few days since.‘ The Citizen quotes the two following scparate paragraphs from our columns : | 4# Republican revolutionists are‘ bloodthirsty and brutal." f" in b believe * It a dozen or two of blackguards were to congregate at any point in London, &c., &o., it is highly probable that a mixedâ€"up crew of Fenians, pickpockets, Westend tradesmen, &¢., &o., may hare met together, &o.. &o.

Finally the Cliizen quotes from the Tiucs as follows : It is quite possible that ghe attack» -mm"im Times hns lately chosen to make upon her (the Queen) may have turnished arguments for social misrule and political dis order, the very things which the mv‘w ,llmy which th« 7 imes wmuum." On this the Cifizen remarks «"Why, the dickens, then, did the Times (i. ¢. the Lonâ€" don Times) do it?". We can only account for it on the supposition that large journals «s well as small ones are lisble to make mistakes, as we‘cannot help thinking our city contemporary did when he gare place to such «n aimless attack upon us as that to which we have just referre i. We notice that it is published as a communi¢ation. For the credit of the Canadian press we are glad that no member of it was the author of‘an uncalled for attack of this nature, in which vuigarmty and stupility are so equalâ€" ly blended,; but "why the dickens," our contemporary inserted it is more than we can understand. We hare no doubt that the result of the hbyulbostmowfllmmfldonbk( disappointment in Canada, because a maâ€" jority of the native born Canadians, while regarding the Tynedale men with naught but the most kindly feelings, could not help wishing that in this friendly contest with the Mother Land, Young Canada would be able to give Old England the go by if only by half a boat‘s length.. There is no reason for any ongito feel sore, howâ€" ever; the race was manfully contested throughout, and the St. John‘s men rowed with a pluck and a determination which would have certainly given them the vic. # BLUE AND CHERRY. to Which they were oppossd. Canada has been beaten, but not by a foreign crew ; she only yields the palm of supremacy to that people whose & 4 March is on the mountain wave, Whose path is on the deep." We hope that this will not be the list of these @©squatic tournaments," and that next year we shall once more see the blue and cherry câ€"loured favours Auttering upon the banks of the :St. Lawrence, and the representatives of British pluck in the Old and New Worlds aguin contending for the palm of victory. l .

They pulled up amid great cheering from the thousands of enthusiastic throats on the banks, steamers and barges ; and leayâ€" ing their boat embarked on that of their ump re, there pulling off their blouses and disclosing themselves in their pretty scar |lot and pink ; the transformation being greeted wth: hearty lopat cheering, ‘J\'exz the Tyne meon, as if fully &wake t>o the work: before them, $ a OM +_a1 FEL We are mainly indebted to the Montreal | Gazet‘e of yesterday for the following :â€" * TIIR START. wept profusely, THE COME .

As they passed our boat profusely decorated with St. John colours, Renforth found time to chaff the press on board, and asked jauntily, " How is it now, St. John men ?"‘ From thet moment there was no longer a race. There was nothing worth looking at. For except close at hand the form we so much admired is scarcely an object of engrossing attraction. Bo, waiting only to give one cheer to the beaten crew, we paddled gentâ€" ly down stream and in among the . maze of boats of every ‘kind, and out on the loose shingle opposite Hanna‘s Hotel, while cheers were echoing in the air, and the weak ones were busy cha.nfiing their colours as the Chameleon, to blossom in blue and white where they had budded in pink and scarlet.

HUNTON, SHOOLBRED & CO. The Great Race. composer, denies the In my last letter some of the news in which will be probably anticipated by the â€" remarks I am about to write, I told you of the great impression produced by the news of the evacuation of Chalons, and of the arrival of the King, attended by Count Bismarck, yesterday at the Crown Prince‘s‘ head quarters, en roule to Barâ€"leâ€"Duc. The | account of the state of things inside the works at Metz is pitiable. _ The town is filled | with wouned ; hOIpitll gingrene, that dreadful‘ addition to the torture of the wounded, has im de its appearance, and . typhus rages in the camps. The bitterest enemy must pity the condition of brive men in such a state. To complete the misery of the inyested army there is a scarcity of good . food. Fresh meat must be impossible. This‘is what I hear of the one bundred thousand. men, and of the twelre thousand or fift en thousand wounded, shut up in thke great French ‘svronghold. The imagination cannot dea«l with the details of such wretchedness, and 1 almost hope the picture is evercharged. The franceâ€"liveurs have m ide their deut. They have shot four men belonging to the 4th Cavalry Dirision near Chalons _ inâ€" structions have been sent to the Corps Commander to deal with them most severelyâ€"in other words, they, will be shot it taken with arms im their hands:. No doubt the French will retaliste, insisting on the _ legitimate character of france tireurs when a levy. en masse has been ondered, and thus we may drift into a war of reprisals, which, again, may become a war of "no quarter." _ This, however, is an anticipation of the worst, and the two leaders of civilization in Europe will surely st«y their hands. _ The shooting of a few dragoons cannot decide the war. It may do much to render it ferocious. . These franceâ€"tireurs have a uniform ; a blue kepi, a blouse of any colour, with a red worsted sash ; trowsers with a stripe of any colour, and white gaiters ; ‘and they are armed with a‘rifle a l« tabatiere, something of the Remington pattern, I think. _ *Â¥ * I write in a house which is of some fRisâ€". torical interest, for Djebitech occup.ed the room in which I live, and the venerable: Father Larcher, cure en retra/te, whose maison paternelle it is, well remembers the Russian Generalâ€""u . bel homme, tres dis tingue, qui parlait Francais, parfaitment‘â€" and tolls us hew he saw the allied soverâ€" eignsâ€"the Emperor of Austria in the midâ€" dle, the Emperor of Russia on his right, the King of Prussia on his left, riding into the Market place, long in advance of a a whols squadron of Princes, Marshals, Generals, in order, who h«lted and reguâ€" lated their pace in unison with that of their masters. â€" In those days franceâ€"tireurs were not, and war was left to soldiers, nor was a levy en masse resorted to in case of invasion. _ In most of the towns I have passed through, numbers of fine young men,â€"in and out of blouse, have been seen lounging about in the streets and oy\eins the foreigners inho:p‘tâ€"blyâ€"the very stu for Garde Mabile and rfranre tireurs and levee en ss*+. _ Whilé they were }delibenting in | Paris and framing rules and regulatio there caino on the Prefet, mousâ€" Préfet, and Muire a strong and a stern hand, and a voice,. ?ich was more potent thin any Senatus Consultum and regulation} there caino on the ‘ Prefet, Nousâ€" Préfet, and Muire a strong and a stern hand, and a voice,. ?ich was more potent thin any Senatus Consultum or Imperial decree, said, " If any one of you attempt to enforce a conscription or to enlist men for any military service you shall be at onee deprived of your functions (de titue) and sent of to Germany." _ The authorities have gonerally behaved with dignity, remaining at their posts and actâ€" ing as mediators betwoen the military auâ€" thorities and the people. ‘The Maire of Vaucouleurs «*bouded" n little, and he was at once reminded that he was only a Maire and that for him the Empire FranSals exâ€" isted no longer. _ Last.n ght there was an indescribable calm in Ligny ; after nine o‘clock a silence as of the grave fell on the townâ€"not a light twinkled in the winâ€" dows, not a lamp shone, and the only bright spots visible were the spikes of the seniinel‘s helmets as they paced up and down before the Crown Prince‘s quarters, and caught the one ray of a eund(le which glimmered in a military lantern above the courtyard. | What a contrast to the tumult of the Bavarian march, the emd of which only came with a‘ vast string of waggons at sunsel. f * I have already in the leiter of yesterday said a few word»> about these troops, The French are very angry with them. "They say it was @unnatural for the Bavarians to ally themselves with those who fought against them in ‘66, that a Roman Catholic people should aid a Protestant King in an invasion of France. And the Bavarians lna cogent arguments in reply, the most potent of which is, perhaps, that they are in ‘France, and (that Prussia was thei: neighbor. Bavarian officers are not quite satisfied â€"with the condition of their own army and its appearance, and certainly they do not bear favorable comparison beâ€" side the Prussians ; but they look better than the Wurtemburgars. ‘The Badenders I have not seen, but they will soon be reâ€" lieved at bmubouz by the Landwebhr, Phalsbourgâ€"the and guns and gearriâ€" son are all that remain of itâ€"still holds out. So does Bitche,. So does Toul, alâ€" though it has suffered a cannonade, and is the worse of it. The latter place interâ€" rupts the completion of the railway from Nancy, the other two are very much in the vn(, and heavy guns will be brought up to reduce them if their commanders do not listen to proposals which are about to be addressed to tLem, explaining the hoc lessness of aid, and the futility of f resistance." OJne dirision of Landwebr, about 14,000 men, have, I think. arrived before Strasbourg already. _ _ _ i When the King came to the L’my yesâ€" } terday, no doubt he recognized 1 he visited so many years ajo, for it changed but little. The old castle ~of the Montimorencys, where Luzxemburg was born in a stonemcashot during a siege by the "damoiseauz‘ of Commercy‘; the houses where the allied Sovereigns lodged,â€"what reflections must have passed through his mind as he found himself i after tbo&l;'[:o of so many yeas, agai ranceâ€"a& » eign dono’â€"’tbo ‘n:Lu:f the German peoâ€" ple, warring against another Napolean? His Majesty looked in very good spirits, although he feels, and repeatedly laments, the drewiful losses which have occurred before Metz. _ As to Count Bismarck, a few weeksâ€"nay, days I should writeâ€"of camâ€" paigning havre produced on him the effect of a draught from the fountain of youth. He wore the undress of a Major of Cuirassâ€" iersâ€"great jackboots, dark frock with yéllow facings, and flat white cap with a band of the same; his eye is even keener and more "twink!y‘" than usual ; his â€" mariner _ gayer and lifh“r. When the. King had embraced his son affectionately, he walked with him & part, and conversed in the midst of the circle of officers before the Crown Prince‘s quarters for some time, while the great Count strode about ‘amongst lus friends, chatting and laughing cheerily, receivi their congratulations, shaking kands with Dr. W.
