ted in the usual course of business. Perhaps we had best look into the Massachusetts Charter before we come to a decision, said one of the Administration. No! cried Lord Townshend. Let us deliberate no longer; let us act with vigor, now, while we can call the Colonies ours. If you do not, they will very soon be lost for ever. Lord Mansfield W. S.

Johnson's Journal, 10 April, 1767; De Guerchy to Choiseul, 11 and 13 April, 1767; Horace Walpole to Mann, 17 April, 1767; Walpole's Memoirs, II. 454. spoke in the same strain, descanting upon the folly and wickedness of the American incendiaries, and drawing an animated picture of the fatal effects to England and to the Colonies, which the deplorable event of their disjunction must produce.

itness that the Journal man's report of the same, which followed on March 25, is correct:— West Medford Christian Union. The annual meeting of the West Medford Christian Union was held in Mystic Hall last Monday evening. Mr. A. B. Morss was elected Chairman, and S. S. Leavitt served as Secretary. The report of the Clerk and Treasurer was presented, showing the society to be in a sound condition financially. The report was unanimously accepted. Messrs. Farwell, Stevens, McLean, Mann and Ritchie were elected to serve as an Executive Committee for the ensuing year. It was voted that the thanks of the society be presented to the Pastor, Rev. Mr. Charpiot, for the able and faithful manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office, and that he be invited to remain with us another year. The Executive Committee were instructed to confer with the proprietors of the Smith Estate in regard to the land which they had kindly offered to donate to the society to build

The annual meeting, January 19, came in the wake of a blizzard and deep snow. Favorable reports of officers were received—our home free of debt and practically a clean slate on current expenses. The election made no change in personell of Executive Board. Vice-President Ackerman was chosen President, succeeding Mr. Mann, who was chosen Librarian to succeed Mr. Remele, who succeeds Mr. Ackerman as Vice-President.

elves, I may mention Capt. Gregory and Lieut Rogers of the 44th, Lieuts. Burslem and Chaplin of the 67th, and Lieut. Kempson of the 99th, who is Aidde Camp to Brigadier Reeves, of the Fourth Brigade. Some of these officers, I believe, have been recommended for the Victoria Cross, and certainly deserve it well. The gallant old Brigadier Reeves was wounded in four places, I hear, but refused to be removed to the rear, and still remains with his brigade. Col. Travers, of the Royal Marines, Col. Mann and Major Graham it is superfluous to mention, as the dispatches will doubtless do them all justice. Young Lt. Pritchard, of the Royal Engineers, also behaved with conspicuous bravery. To Sir Robert Napier and his staff we are chiefly, however, of course, indebted for the success of the day. They were always where they were wanted, and conducted the operations with an amount of coolness and intrepidity that called forth the admiration of all who saw them. Sir Robert Napier had his spygl

Philadelphia, to consider the present state of the Union, was held at the Board of Trade Rooms at noon to-day. The Committee to whom the coercion and non-coercion resolutions were referred made no report, and there being an evident determination on the part of many present who did not participate at the last meeting to force the passage of the non-coercive resolutions of Judge Lewis, which was resisted by prominent Republicans, an exciting scene of disorder occurred, during which District Attorney Mann showed a willingness to fight on the spot. On the motion of a Republican, the meeting adjourned, but another was immediately called at the same place, and Judge Lewis placed in the chair. Resolutions were then unanimously passed denouncing the Personal Liberty bill, &c., and approving the Crittenden resolutions. The Republicans refused to participate in the second meeting, and manifest much ill-feeling at the conduct of their political opponents in overriding them.

Miscellaneous war items. The First New Hampshire Regiment, under command of Col. Mason C. Tappan, who is about as well qualified for a Colonelcy as a dog is for a preacher, passed through Baltimore on Friday last, on route for home. The regiment numbered about 850 men. New Hampshire has furnished but two regiments for the war, and a portion of one of them is in duress at Richmond. Colonel Mann's Pennsylvania regiment is thoroughly demoralized, according to Northern accounts. On Friday, 350 of the men passed through Baltimore for home, and the remainder will probably be disbanded. It will interest the reader to learn, on unquestionable authority, that only about 8,000 troops passed through Baltimore last week for Washington and the upper Potomac, while not less than 10,000 returned home, their term of service having expired. The Northern papers inform us that a flag of truce has reached the Federal headquarters from General Johnston. It is surmised that is relate

From Washington. Not much news.--a soldier shot. Washington, Oct. 21. --There is but little news of note stirring this morning. The army on the other side of the Potomac still maintain the position which they took on Saturday. Some little skirmishing has taken place among reconnoitering parties on the outposts, but nothing serious has resulted. Gov. Curtin, of Pa., has not yet forwarded the three companies from Harrisburg; which are necesary to fill up Colonel Mann's regiment. A soldier belonging to the 1st Pennsylvania cavalry was shot while on picket duty yesterday. Steam floating battery. From information received here it is believed that the armored ship or floating steam battery now being built after the Ericcson plan, will be completed before the other two are finished, the work upon it being of less magnitude. A large surplus from the sum appropriated by Congress remains. Return of the Secretary of war. Secretary Cameron returned this
