I had gone out to ‘lfii‘y :‘nl‘fiiake myabihisvful, in company {villi Jessie Brown, lhe Wife of a corpora; in my husband‘s regiment. Poor Jessie had been in 'a state at restless excitement all through the siege, and had fallen away visibly within the last few days. A con- stant fever consumed her. and her mind wandered oceastonally,especially that day. when the recollection of home seemed powerfu'ly present to her. At. last,ovcr- eime witl‘ fatigue, she lay down on the ground, wrapped up in her plaid. I sat beside her, promising to awaken her when. as ,she said, ‘f her father should return from the plowing.” She fell at length iotmmprofoualeumbeLmtionh-wd. apparently, breathless, her head resting in my lap. I myscll could no longer resist the. inclination to sleep, in spite of the con- tinual roar of tlzc cannon. Suddenly l was aroused by a wild unearthly scream close to my ear; my companion stood up- right beside me, her arms raised, and her ll (1 '. bent lorward in the attitude at listen- ing. A look ofintense delight broke orer her c'untenanct', she grasped my hand, drew me lnwatds her, and exclaimed, “Diuna y.e hear at? dinna ye bear it? Ay I’mâ€" no dreainin,’ it’s the slogan 0’ the "Hiehlanders! \Ve’re saved," \vE'i’e saved 1" Thén llin‘ginz herself on her knees, she thanked God with passionate fervor. I felt utterly bewildered: my English ems heard only the roar of artillery, and I thought my p00r Jessie was still raring. but she darted to the batteries, andI heard her cry incessantly to the men, “ Courage! courage; hark to the sloganâ€"to the Mac- gregor, the grandest of them a.’ Here 5 help at lastl” To (lt‘SCl‘IbC the cheat 0! these words upon the soldiers would be impossible. Fora mrment they ceased firing, and every soul listened in intense anxiety. Gradually, however,there arose a murmur of bitter disappointment. and the W‘tiling of the ‘women who had flockâ€" el to the spot burst out anew as the 'Jol- ouel shook his head. Our dull lowland ears heard nothing but the rattle ot the musketry. A few moments more of this deathâ€"like saspense, of this agoaising hope. and Jessie who had sank on the ground. sprang to her feet, and cried in a voice so clear and piercing that it was heard along the whole lineâ€"“\R'ill ye no believe it pool The slogan has ceased indeed, but the Campbells are comin’! D'ye hear. d’ye hear 1” At that moment we seemed ind8ed to hear the voice ofGod in the dis- tance, when the pibroch of the Highland- ers brought us tidings of deliverance, for now there was no longer any doubt ofthc fact. That shritl,penetrating, ceaseless soundI could come neither from the ad- vance ofthc enemy, nor from the work of the “uppers. No, it was indeed the blast of the Scottish bagpipes. now shrill and harsh, as threatening vengeance on the foe, then in softer tones seeming to promi~e succor to their friends in need. Never flurely wasâ€"tâ€"horn suehâ€"zksceneâ€"asâ€"lhat which followed. Not a heart in the Re- sidi-ncv of Lucknow but bowed itself be- fore God. All by.one simultaneous im- pulse, fell upon their knees, and nothing was heard but bursting sobs and the mur- mured voice of prayer. Then all arose,‘ and there rang out from a thousand lips a great shout ot‘joy which resouadcd far and wide, and lent new vigour to that blessed pibmch. To our cheer of '-’ God save. the Queen,” they replied by the well-known strain that moves every Scot to tears, “ Should auld acquaintance be forgot. Etc.” After that nothing made any impression on me. I scarcely remember what followed. Jessie was presented to the General on his entrance into the fort, and at the of- ficers’ banquet. her health was drunk by all present. while the pipers marched around the table playing once more the familiar It? of“ Aulll lang syne.” TH E: The following is an ext‘rac! of a letter from DeEhi, Writte'u Sept. 2311: : No less than (vulva carts full of musâ€" letsaml other arms came in yesu-rday, a prool thxtlmuv of our late antagonish 81"? tll'f’JWin; awxrlheii' 5‘r‘ms‘in’ the hon 0f gaining their villages unubserved.

Hence the prodigious efforts made by him to secure the return of Mr. Doner, another‘blunt-cdgedtool,’who could be used in any way the Markham ‘village Philosopher desired. How- ever, notwithstanding the hundred and one malicious slanders circu- lated by the Economist and lustin echoed by Doner’s friends, to preju- dice the eleétors against Mr. Trud- geon, it was only by the most superâ€" human exertions,prosecuted through anxious days and sleepless nights, that the above numbtr could he in- duced to face the music and vote for Reesor’s pet candidate. The result, therefore, is jusin regarded as a grand triumph of honest prin- ciples over the chieanery and deceit brought to bear in this particular Ward, and Mr. Trudgcon may well feel proud of his victory.

Mr. Reesor, on finding the suc- cess of 'Doner ratlzer doubtful, and fearing himself plat-ed in the. same position, immediately gets up a re- quisition to himself, and declares to his confidants that he feels amply rewarded for his humble exertions in the Township and County Counâ€" cil, and that he is willing to serve them again to the best of his ability; and that they would have to deter- mine as to whether he should serve them in the Township Counvil. But the County Comm! is another thing that must be determined by the people of the whole Township“ Our opinion is that Mr. Recsor’s1 expectations in this respect will meet with a little trouble; we need not tell him, he knows it.

The semi-annual examination of the Vaughan School Section, No. 6, took place on Saturday last at Mam Thefisteesaind several gentlemen were present, and the various exercises were sustained throughout in a manner which re- flected great credit on the master, Mr. MeClennan. The pupils ans- wered the several questions in an easy, ready and intelligent manner, which proved clearly the superiorim ty of the. Normal School system of teach ng, viz.: to cultivate and draw out the intellectual facilities ofo'rilC- en, in preference to the old fashion- ed style of whipping in stubborn facts, which only make a superfi- cial impression.

Done cleverly and wiIh the requisite degree of vagueness, it is probably a safe method of wagâ€" ing party warfare; but when pre- cision is attempted-«when events are definitely predicted, and [heal- legcd grounds of the prediction are precisely stated-«the thing becomes specially dangerous to those who handle it. What shall be said, then, of the Globe's oracular utterances concern- ing the character of the new parlia- ment and its relation to the present Cabinet? Simply, that they come under the latter category, and really reveal the hollow-ncss, the worth- lessncss, of the Clear Grit cxulta- tion. ‘Ve grant that if the public ‘could be coaxed into reliance upon tthe falsified exhibits of electioneer- ing results-«above all, if the repre- sentatiic: all'CLdLClIOSM Upper Canada constituencies could be per- suaded to occupy the positions as- signed to them by the would-be dic- tator, and none elseâ€"~a fair cue might be made out for the contemâ€" plation of Ministerial changes as an occurrence inevitable. But herein lies the key to the Whole question. Herein consists the primary poir.t at issue between the parties engag- ed in the present contest. And 1ch more closely the returns now pub- lished are ithsigaled, the more conclusively will they be found to establish the unreliability of the establish tlic unreliability of the premises on which all the Clear Grit logic is predicated, and the ab- Solute soundness of the opinion-30 often expressedwthat Mr. John A. Macdonald, in his capacily as l‘rc- mier, will be sustained by a large Parliamentary majority. At the present moment, and con- fining our View to Upper Canada, the Macdonald Ministry have a small majority over the combined forces of the Opposition. This es- timate does not include the Con- servative members who are deemed somewhat doubtful, but who are rather more likely to sustain than to oppose the Administration. Nor does it embrace any reference to Opposition divisions, which are too notorious to be altogether overlook- l ed. For let it not be forgotten that a line may properly be drawn be- tween the section of the Opposition- ; ists led by Mr. J. Sandfield Mac- donald, and the section led by the As it is and as 11: W111 be. From the Coloni~t. senior member fox- Toronto.

And their disunion largely augments the Upper Canada strength of the Go- vernment. But we' cannot consent, atMr. Brown’s bidding, to ignore the Lower Canada representation. It is an awkward obstacle in the path of the Clear Grits, undoubtedly; but is there, nevertheless, and neith- C" by threats nor prophecies can it be annihilated. Well, extending our estimate over Canada as a \t‘llOlC ---disregarding the miserable sec- tional antipatlties which constitute a large portion of Clear Grit. capit tal---\\‘e have no hesitation in de- claring that, in the next session of Parliament, the Moderate party will command an aggregate majority ex- eeeding forty.
