What though the crowds who shout the word Pervert the meaning it should bear, ; And feel their hearts with hatred stirred, E'en while their plaudits load the air; Yet shall not we, thou mighty thought, Despair thy triumph yet to see, Nor doubt the good that shall be wrought In thy great name, Fraternity! By prophets told, by psalmists sung, Preached on the Mount by lips sublime, The theme of every sage's tounge For twice a thousand years of time; What happy progress hast thou made!

The last section of the Province (of Can- ada) within the valley of the St. Lawrence and its Lakes, is that on the North side of Lakes Huron and Superior, extending from the mouth of French River to the east, to the source of Pigeon River to the west. Its length from east to west is 110 miles its ex- treme breadth northwards to the sources of the tributaries of the lakes, is probably 160 miles; and its area about 48,000 superficial miles, being more than one half greater than that of the State of Maine. Tt has a coast of 180 miles in length on Lake Huron and River St. Mary, and 420 on Lake Superior--in all: 600 miles. The Canadian-shores of lake Superior have been described by Sir Win Logan. as presenting a bold rocky coast, diversticd in the character of its scenery in accordance with the distribution of the geological forina- tions: cliffs and eminences rising up toheizh's varying from 300 to1,800 feet, close upon its margin, and this deeply indented insome parts with extensive bays,and in others presenting clusters of islands, is in multitu les of places carried out in well sheltered coves alfurdisg innumerable harbours of a safe and commod- ious character, destined greatly to facilitate whatever commerce may hereatter be estab. lished on the lake, wheiher in the produce of its mines or its fisheries. Ife speaks more favourably of the north shore of Lake Huron, describing it as present- ing an undulating country, rising in hills which sometimes attain the elevation of 400 and 700 feet above the Jake. 'J'hese, he says, occasionally exhibit ruggad escarp- ments and naked rocky surfaces; but in gen- eral their surfaces are rounded, and their flanks, with the valleys separating one range from enother, are frequenily well clothed with hard and sof: woods, often of large growth and inuch of such species as are valuable in commerce; in many places giving promise of a good arable soil. Many of the slopes are gentle, and many of the valleys wide. CAUCHON ON THE RED RIVER AND SASKA- TCHAWAN COUNTRY. As public attention has oflate been much directed to the Red Fiver and Saskatcha- wan Country, and we may have ere long to take action for its developement, and as ap- parently offering a favorable field for set- tlement, with that easily cultivated prairie land so desirable to many, it seems appro- _attention to business, he will be able to please. - Windsor, C. W., Sept. 9, 1854. 25 Chatham, C. W,, Feb. 13th 1856. 40-ly priate here briefty to notice it. at Including in this territory the valleys of the Beaver River, the Peace River and the River Arthabaska,as having a common character with it, the whole presents an area of nearly five hundred thousand superficial miles. Its extreme length from the Lake of the Woods westward to the Rocky Moun- tains is about nine hundred miles, and its breadth fram. the northern boundary of the United States to the mounruf Peace River about seven hundred miles. This territory, though forming but one- fifth part of that heretofore rendered avail- able for the purpose of huuting only, a lit- tle exceeds the Empires of France and Austria added to-gether. he isothermal positon of the greater part of it resembles that of Poland. A territory so extensive naturally presents a considerable variety *n surface, soil and climate. It has some stirkingly differnt characteris- tics from the valley of the St. Lawrence and the eastern part of the continent gen- erally OUR PRAIRIE LANDS. The most prominent of these is its prairie character, which presents the greatest facil- ities for extensive farming without the labor of clearing off woods and for the expansion of settlement; the great expense of grubbing out the timber in opening roads (which is the chief hindiance to it in wooded countries) being there unnecessary not that it ts entirely destitute of fwood, there being clumps and grovesof timber chiefly along the streams where the best lands are to be found and where settlement will first prevail besides wooded tracts of cunsiderable extent on the upper waters of the Saskatchawan. OUR COAL FIELDS WEST. The next characteristic of importance is the immense coal fields which extend across the territory near the base of the Rocky Mountains. 'The large rivers whose bead waters intersects this deposit of coal apparen- tly present the readiest means of transport- ing itforthe use of the settlements along their banks. The celebrated Liebig in explaining the impossibility of certain interior countries of the old world competing successfully with England in manufactures, attributes it sole- ly to the want of coal, notwithstanding the low cost in tnem of manual labor and pro- visions. Tris territory ~vill be under no such disadvantage; its coal beds and its other mineral resources will, at some future time give rise to manufacturing towns of an imj;-ortance commensurate with the vast re- gions they will have to supply. "There is another peculiarity to be observ- ed of this territory--the comparative mild- ness and shortness of the winters in the west ern part of it. According to the highest scientific authorities the line of equal w nter temperature with Kingston in Upper Can- ada, and the vicinity of Sheboygan on Lake Michigan, crosses the Saskatchawan half way between its forks and its sources and continues northerly even beyond this terri- tory, giving all the country between it and the Rocky Mountains a winter like that of Chicago. Though isolated it has a connected inter- nal water system that may become of much value. The RedRiver, which falls into lake Winipeg is by the best American authorities stated to be navigable upwards for good sived steamboats far into Minnesota. From the boundary of the United States, north. ward, it isnavigable to Lake Winipeg which at about two hundred and filty miles, recni- ves on the west side of the Saskatchawan, a river thirteea hundred miles in length. Iax- cepting for twenty iniles from its mouth up- wards, where it is obstructed by rapids, this great river is navigated by batteaux without interruption tor about a thousand miles, to Fort Edmonton, near the base of the Rocky Mountains. At three hundred miles from Lake Winipeg the Saskachawan divides into two branches each about a thousand miles in length and both navigable, 'The Red River, Lake Winipeg, and the Saskatchawan therefore present an inland navigation of at Jeast thirteen Lundred miles, commencing only three hundred and _ fifty mies from Lake Superior and terminating at put little over five hundred miles from the Vacilic, and very near the head waters of the itiver Columbia. lu describing a portion of the country westward of Lake Wintpeg, as large as Great Brttain, Sir Alexander Mackenzie says, "All Unis country to the south branch of the Saskatchawan, abounds in beaver, m ose deer, fallow dser, elks, bears, buffaloes. &c. 'The soil is good and wherever any attempts have been made to raise the esculent plants, &c., it has been found productive." Speaking of the northern extremity of the terrritory, after mentioning that vegetables bad been cultivated with successin latitude 58 © , he says, "here is no doubt the soil would be very productive ifa proper atten- tion were given to its preparation. In the fall of 1837, Mr. Pend was settled on the banks of Eik River, where be remained for three years, and had forised as fine a kitchen garden as l ever saw in Canada. At Lati- tude 56 9. be says, Snow feel on the I1th | vast herds, groves of treesin full bloom,open December, animals having been grazing in the meadows previously. On the 5th April the snow wasall gone, and flowers were in bloom,andthe trees were budding on the 20th of that month, and on the 25th the ice had disappeared from Peace River." As- cending it he fonnd in latitude55 . 58, on the 10th of May, exuberant verdure, buffa- loes grazing with their young, and elks in TAWnS~arrd-mesnifceht scenerys Sir John Richardson gives latitude 00 7 O1-the Dix. | er of the Mountains a tributary of the Mac- kenzie River, far to the north of this ter- ritory, asthe limit of economical wheat cultivation; oats and barley, he says, yield good crops, and the latter can bo profitably cultivated five degrees father north. The plains in many parts of this gteat territory have a sandy and gravelly soil, else- where they present extensive tracts of fer- tle alluvial land. In regard to the fertility ot the soil, we have the testtmony of Sir John Franklin: -- "The land is tertile,and produces, with little trouble, ample returns of wheat, barley oats, and potatoes. 'The ground is prepared for the reception of these vegetables about the middle of April; and when Dr. Richard- son visited this place on the 10th of May, the blade of wheat looked strong and heal- thy. Sir George Simpson gives the following description of the country betwen Lake Superior and Red River:--The river which empties ac la Pluie into the Lake of the Woods, is in more than one respect decided- ly the finest stream on the whole route. Form Fort Francisa stretch of nearly 100 miles, it is not interrupted by a single impediment, while yet the current is not strong enough materially to retard an ascending traveller. Nor are the banks less favorable to agricul- ture than the waters themselves to navigation resemblin in some measure those of the 'Thames near Richmond. I*rom the very brink of the river rises a gentle slope of green sward crowned in many places with a plen- tiful growth of birch, poplar, beech elm, and oak. Jsit too mueh for the eye of philan- throphy to discern through the vista of fu- turity this noble stream, connecting as it dose the fertile shores of two spacious lakes, with crowded steamboats on ifs bosom. and po- pulous towns on its borders?" LAND ON LAKE SUPERIOR. Sir:--It gave me much pleasure to hear Mr. Jos. Wilson of your intention to sur- vey atract of the country lying N. E. of Goulais Bay, L.Superior, as [ intend to be a purchaser of some of that land as soon as it is intmarket. In September last, I took a party of three men out with me in'o that re- gion,and made an extensiv exploration there; having carried my pack for 18 days through those hils and valleys, [ travelled nbout 70 miles back into the interior, the trip cost me something in money as_ well as in toil and exposure, but I felt myself well repaid by the beautiful country I bad passed through. So different from the dreary Jstorm beaten shores of the Lakes and of the River St. Mary. In fact it is completely sheltered from these cold dampwinds by the lofty range of mountains lying to the N. W. which act as both screens and reflectors, throw- ing back the concentrated rays of the sun in- to the valleys along the southern banks. The face of the country is undulating, for- ming level plateans. sloping ill sides and extended valleys running far back into the mountains. 'Ihe timber is nearly all MAPLE the largest and the finest Ihave ever seen. The soil is what is called valeanic; being for- med chiefly from the detrituz of decomposing traprocks, with a deep layer otf vegetable mould on the surface. 'The place is adinir- ably adapted to farming and grazing pur- poses. Jam an old farmer myslf, having been 33 years in America; and seen the whole country from New Brunswick to Mis- sourl, so that I can speak from experience; but the place will not wholly depend upon its agricultural resources--it 1s rich in minerals. 'Those explorers who have spent their time and money in searching for treasures along the lake shore made a great mistake. Along the coast of Lakes Huron and Superior, the rocks are all confusion; so disturbed and dislocated, that it would be impossible for a good vein to exist in them; for if it be ever so good in one rock, it is speedily cut off by another, and their is the end of their vein. But back in the interior the roeks are set iled, every thing is in place. The veins are regular and well defined, and may be traced continuously for miles, without a single break. In the part of the country that I passed over the rocks in places are all a compact gray trap; intersected by numerous quartz vines remaining systematically about east and west and many of them richty charged with ores of copper and lead, During my late explora- tion [ found a number of beautiful lots, which [ intend to secure as soon as your De- partment will give me a chance to pnrchese onreasonable terins. Tbe ores of copper which I saw, were yellow pyrites with now and then some very rieh varjeties of purple and gray sulphurets. 'The ore of lead that I found is galena, and bears every appear- ance of being argentiferous. 'he river! Sears a banks, which flows thogh this tract of country is just about the size and volume of the Thames in the Western district; it is navigable for a small steamboat, a distance of 18 or 20 miles from the mouth at the head of Goulais Bay, and by an improvement of some trifling ra- pids it conld be made navigable much further It is a most beautiful stream, and the scenery on its hanks is magnificent. This river I found nameless; the Indinas simply call it "See beeh,'? 'the river'? So as I was the ite man who bad. ever explored its named TENE ony Oa oer around 'Avondale.' I found after Thad got back a couple of days jounrney from the lake shore, that the country abounded in large game, such as carabo and red deer; and I am going back on snow shoes, to spend part of the winter in their pleasant company. Trevelling back far into the interior, and whilst engaged in the pursuit of wild animals, I shall keep a memorandum ofthe general features of the country. and as this is the country through which the projected railroad (that we all hope to see crossing the frontier at the Sault] must pass, some know ledye of its topogra phy may be useful to the public,--Should you let out the Survey of Avondale, by con- tract, it will be a fuir competition amongst surveyors A friend of mine, Coatsworth, now residing at the Bruce Mines, is an accom- plished Surveyor, an able Mathematician and an excellent Draftsman and Sketcher, particufarly clever with the pencil; and J, he ; shopld be a successful bidder, { should: assist : him; and we should carry with us a good Camera Lucida, to take landseape views, mountain and forest scener}, water falls and other grand scenes with whicn that ~ region abounds.

W. HH. PALMER Sault de Ste. Marie, 17th Nov., 1856: TIE CONDITION OF THE PRIS ONS IN CALIFORNIA.-- The California Democrat comments onre- cent disclosures about the prison discipline in California, and says--*We have in our youth read tales of dark barbarities in the middle ages, and of the brutal treatment of prisoners in Russia, but we never dreamt of such things in free America; yet we. must confess that our constitution has become a mockery, that certain strata of society are wholly destitute of any ideas of right, and that absolute barbarism is their uormal con- dition. Those without means among the criminals who have been condemed to prison are horse-whipped and obliged to sleep. on floors covered several inches deep with water they have insufficient food, covering, and raiment; the keepers hold them in prison at will long after the legal time of incarcera- tion has expired, and practise upon them the obsolete system of torture. The: doctor who visits them when sick has no sympathy for their sufferings; he does not inform the autliorites of their condition, but divides with the keepers their gains, and thus the eom- plaints of humanity are prevented "Fhe same keepers whu so maltreat the poverty= stricken prisoner, who may be there for some slight misdmeanour, give to the hardened criminal of means the widest possible pri- vileges. "They open to him the door of the prison atnizbt, and thus a stream of crimin- als is poured into our city. Burglary, lar- ceny, and murder are the ordor of the day, and the prison is the refuge of crime. Who can prosecute the crim:nalsin prison? What proof can be brought against people, (of whom they were safely kept under Io:k and key 2 When the crime has been successful the spoils are brought to the prison and. the keepers receive theirshare. From the State Prison also the criminals come out during night in order fo return at daybreak for a safeasylum. We complain of the increase of criminals, but we encourage them daily by our courts and our prison system.' --| = a 8 -@ Tus Pro-Stavexy Parry 1x New Yore. According to the census of 1855, the city of New York contained 46,113 native, and 24, 704 naturalized voters. Ten thousand men naturalized between 1855 aud the Presiden- tial election of 1856. Phe Trish vote of New York is estimated at 35,000, 'hese went in a body for Buchanan and slavery: 7000 other persons, native and foreign, also voted for him. Of the whole native-born vote, scar- cely one in ten supported the pro-slavery ticket in the city of New York. Nine-tenths of the natives divided their support between Fremont and Fillmore. 5 Arriva oF BririsH Capirat.--On Fri- day morning nearly 150 persons from the old country reached and passed through Teron- to to their various destinations at Galt, Guelph and Goderich. 'This may be looked upon as the first fruits of the through-ticket system so wisely in-auguarted by the Garnd Trok Roilway Company, through whose agency Canada is daily and hourly increas- ing to wealth and inportance.-- Torenlo LS
