During the past week the piercingtone of the fifc,.and~‘the spirit-stirring drum have been heard almost constantly. Three New York Regiments, one Massachusetts, one from the State of Maine, one from Rhodc Island, and one from New Hamp- shire, have passed through here to the Seat of war. pushed forward with great spirit; the go- vernment have called upon the Governor’s of the Northern States to forward tr00ps to Washington at the rate of 5,000 per day. The Military fever has at last got such a hold on mothers and fathers, that even little children in the streets are dress- ed in the French Zouave style. ' The young ladies are all industriously at work making ‘ havelocks ’ for the volunteers, to protect them. from the heat of the sun; and so fashionable has thisvkind of employ- ment become, that any one who does not belongto these ‘ Hasi‘el'ock. Bees? isâ€"con- sidered wanting. inpatriotism, and showing worse taste than if they had not been at the Academy of Musrc to witness the first performance of a new. opera, or had not readtlie last new tale in the Ledger. During the week all manner of reports of supposed battles have been received, which were in most cases contradicted al- together, or greatly modified: There is no placing. any dependence in these reports, they seem to be got up by the neWSpapers with a money making view; each one stri- ving to cut-do his neighbor with exciting paragraphs. Missouri has played her part in the dra- ma that is being enacted here during the last few days, by being the ground or the battle of Boonville. Here four thousand rebels were routed by the Federal troops, but no authentic account of their killed or wounded has been ascertained; about fifty are known to be killed, and as several shells burst in their midst, it is thought that the mortality list must have been larger; eighty were taken prisoners. On the Federal side three were killed, ten wounded, and one missing. In my last letter I mentioned that there was a compromise movement supposed to be on foot ; this step is gaining consider- able ground. erflCrittcnden, the author of! the resolution adopted by the Peace Conference last March, has been returned for Kentucky, and wilhtny his utmost to effect a compromise. The New York Democratic Press held a conference here on the 27th inst., at the Astor House, to organize a line of action to be pursued by them in the coming struggle. And the IIcmla‘ of yesterday, in speaking of the meeting of Congress on the 4th July, says : “ The idea of a compromise is set on foot “evenmow; and on the authority of an “ organ of the W'ar Department, which “ has its one probably from that quarter; “ a proposition from- the Southern Confe- “ der'acy will settle the whole question in “ twelve days.” And again : “ The coun- “ try. has grownup under the arts of peace, “ from. three millions to thirty millions, and “ with- a prosperity. unexampled. in: the his- “ tory of the world. We do not, there- “fore, desire to/vsenture upon untried ex " pci‘iments, and to launch out upon an un- “ known ocean. We are for: peace, but " not at too great a sacrifice ;, there are “ wurse things than temporary war. If we “ are to have peace we want to see it es- “ tablishcd only on the basis of the unity “and integrity of the Republic. We are “ willing to restore the Missouri compro- “ inise line of36‘30, Which Douglas, Pierce “ and other politicians obliterated. Ifthey “ will submit to the authority of the Uni- “ted States Gorernment, the past shall be " forgiven and forgotten, and the rights of " the Southern States will be secured upon “ an immovable foundation.” The eXpense that must necessarliy attend thetprotrac- tion of this warâ€"which is now- estimated at one million dollars per dayâ€"attracts the attention of a great many who have been carried away by the Military excitement of the day, but who have, now that Con- gress is about meeting, begun to calculate the cost. It is thought that‘ the President, intends asking for three hundred million dollars; and it is well known here that Jed. Davis has agents plotting with the \Vall street Brokers, to cmbarass the gOVernineut; and prevent capitalists taking future loans. The press are speculating as to the best manner the interest of this amount can be raised 3, direct taxation wouldsliow it di- rectly on the loyal States, the government having, as yet, no power to enforce the laws in the Seccding States, consequently that will not do ; so tea, sugar, andfoceign wines, are proposed as. the articles that are to be taxed to meet this demand. It is one thing going to war, but another pay- ing for it. Americans do not like taxes, how this will agree with their views of a heavy debt, time will tell. It was the taxingitea, that formed one of the grie- vances that brought about the Revolution of ’76. - It must be remembered, also, that New York is nothing more nor less than the workshop for the Southern States, and their prosperity is New York’s, and their poverty, consequently, would be greatly felt here. It is estimated that the cotton crop realizes two hundred million dollars a year. The South not being a manufactu- ring country, depend upon the Northern Statesâ€"~New York to a large extent.â€" And as there is every appearance at preâ€" sent of the cotton crop being prevented taken to. market, it has prostrated all kinds of trade here, which is every day getting worse. Thousands are out of employ; and stores, in all parts of the cityare being closed. The press here are calculating with a great amount of care, the chances of revolution in England from the loss of their cotton; but when that takes place» the Northern States will quake for the want of laboralso. ' Glen; Beauregard, commander of the forces of the Paper Government of the South, is at Fairfax Court HOiISe; it is said he has from 100,000 to 130,000 troops u"‘-...-.

The Tribune wants 'tliem to be sent to the Penitnntiary for life; the Herald to be sent to work in the trenches; and others, for them to be exe~ cuted as pirates. \Vhat the President will do it is hard to say; but I am inclined to think that they will not recciVe what they deserve, if the manner the Government have already acted is any criterion, by the oath of allegiance, instead of holding them to exchange for their own soldiers, :should any of thcmbe taken prisoners, and thereby save them'from being thrown into some Southern prison, or perhaps worse, hanged“ _ It is not expected that any. movement will be made by Gen. Butler fcomFortress Monroe, for some time. Two soldiers, natives- of New- York and h'lainerwliohad been pressed into the service in Georgia, escapedifrom'the rebels. They‘say tliere iare six' hundred men at Sewcll‘s Point; and there are a great many who have been pressed into the service. They also say that the Southern army is badly off for rifles and small arms. Such accounts as these are frequently brought to the Fede- ral authorities,and tends to show that it will be impossible for them to stand any length of time. But in some instances where the projectiles have been examined, that have been thrown from. some of their batteries, they have rather astonished the authorities to know how the rebels come by them, being of the most approved kind, and no doubt importcd from Europe. I see you are in the midst of a General election in Canada. The Canadians will do well to study the cause of the revolu- by electing a set of penniless politicians, instead of men of honor and integrity. " Men of North, East and “feet.

Council adjourned to meet on Saturday, 13th July next. Mr. Milne too Gritish. THE Economist its its desperate cf- forts to support the declining for- . tunes of its favorite candidate, makes an ingenious attempt to in- jure the cause of his opponent, by proclaiming that Mr. Milne’s plat- 2 form is ‘far more gritish than any- thing advocated by the Reform party as a body,’ Well, really, the charge deserves the credit of origi- nality at least. If true, of course the Grits will vote for him to a man ; and as liberal Conservatives and moderate Reformers will sup- port him. also, we can see no possi- bility of his being beaten. ‘ If it is not true, which we think. will be found to be the case,,â€"â€"it shows to what extremities Mr. Milne’s op- ponents are obliged: tea-go in order to find accusations against him.â€" Thc Economist proves too much. The edit-or of that paper certainly cannot entertain a very high opi- nion of Grit doctrines, when he considers it a crime in. Mr. Milne to profess them.

' premises \VCI‘B @Ol‘l'CCl. .:.;..,, The University Queston. â€"._ To the Editor of the York Herald. Sunâ€"{ii my last letter upon the above subject, I intimated. that. I. should comment upon some of the resolutions passed by-the District meeting of members and other re- presentatives of the Wesle an body, held at Richmond Hill in the month of March last. The first one is a direct endorsement of the declaration of the Conference in fa- vor of denominational colleges, and affirms that they are to~ be supported by voluntary contributions, ‘ and a proper distribution of sue/t funds as are or may be set apart for superior education.’ To what sum these ‘voluntary contributions’ would amount, in case the supporters of Victoria. College and other denomi- national. schools were allowed to. dip their hands into ‘such funds as are or may be set apart,’ &c., any one who is acquainted with human nature can readily imagine; and it is enough to startle any true well- wisher to his country, to think of the inauguration of such a system, especially when he comes to reflect that the ‘funds’ once opened to any one denomination could not be closed to another, and a dozen oth- ers, who might with equal justice urge. a similar claim; and thus the endowment, which. is- a‘mplc, if confined to one, would be frittered away among so many institutions. that it would ultimately fail com- pletely in accomplishing the benefi- cial results to superior education for which it was originally intended This argument must appear of some I force to any man who is sufficiently versed in economy to know that it is. better to spend ten pounds wisely than to throw away one. But, sir, the demand's-‘ofthe Wes- Ieyans would be in some degree reasonable, if the allegations of their spokesmen could be sustained by any proof. Their argument is this: “Some 200,000 acres of the “public lands have been set apart “for the purpose of contributing to “ the cause ofsupcrior education in “Canada. Have those colleges “which were first in the field in “ none in their efficiency and use- “fulness, a right to share in any “portion of this fund? We think “they have, 82.0.” Now this would be very powerful reasoning if the [am will~ ing to concede to Victoria College the credit of having been ‘first in the field,’ so far as time is concerned ; but that it holds the first or second, or any respectable rank as a univer- sity, is an asser'tion,\vliicli in minds capable of pronouncing an opinion upon the subject, only produces a sense ofastonishment at the sublime. impudence of the men who can venture to make it. I shall never seek to decry or underratc the be- ‘nefit which I hope the young stu- dents of Victoria College receive from the -moral and religious in- structions there imparted; or to throw any imputation upon the usefulness of the college in this re- spect; but when its advocates at- :tempt to claim for it the credit of ‘cfficrency’ in the legitimate ob- jects of a university, they simply make themselves ridiculous. Who are the professors and tutors in Victoria College? Where were they educated? Where can they point out a single polished scholar who is indebted to that college for his attainments? It was ‘first in the field ;’ it is time for it to show some of its work. Sir, the president of that institution was educated in one of the American collegesâ€"a class of schools remarkable for con- .‘ferring degrees upon persnn-s who would attempt in vain to matricu- late with honors ,in a British uni- versity; and among its tutors and professors, not a single man can be pointed. out who has ever gained the Iaurels of scholarship in. one of those. time-honored seats of learning ‘ral education. in the mother country, which have ‘ been for ages the standards of libe- Now can it be ex- pected that such a college will ever be able to confer a degree that. will pass as a guarantee of scholarship among men who know what a scholar is? Imagine the chagrin of a young. man who, full of confiâ€" dence in the ability of his instruct- ors, having passed through their prescribed course of study, and pluming himself with the degree I which they have conferred,attempts to associate as an equal with men of thorough education, and finds that they regard his literary accom- plishments with contempt and pit}, and how humiliating the discovery which. he will make when it is too late to remedy the evil,vthat their estimate of his attainments is cor- An honorary degree is not only of no service, but in reality a ridiculous superflurty, if the source from which it emanates does not possess the confidence of educated- men; and that such is the estima- tion its which the degrees issued from Cobourg are held among such persons throughout the province, is ‘ or 15 feet. .‘ 4.“ _,.‘ 3‘32» . 1r tisfy himselfwho will take the pains to seek for information. in the pro- per querrter. Now the Methodists have an equal interest with all other classes of citizens, in seeing that degrees are what they ought to be, and the misfortune will only fall upon the heads of their own poste- rity, if through a mistaken course of action in the present question they lower the standard, and that such would be the effect of taking all,or the greater part of the endow- ment from University College,is.un- deniablc. The professors of the last named college are, almost Without exception, men of mark from the universities of Great Britain,l. cloud and the continent; and it is con; ceded by the best scholars in the country that its course of study and severity of examination are equal in thoroughness to those of any similar institution in the old world, and that its alumni take equal rank with those holding the like degrees from Oxford and Cambridge. Sir, this is the kind of university that we need, if we pretend to cultivate the highest branches of a liberal education, or to send forth men whom we desire the world. to recog- nize as men of learning. And if the University of Toronto is the only one in the country in which this high standard is adhered to, so also is University College the only one in Canada where a young man can hope to receive that eflicicnt instruction which will fit him to- pass his final ordeal with success. How different is the case with Vic- toria College, and the university connected therewith. I will admit, that if a high-sounding curriculum (on paper,) and a long list of books, which it is alleged are all comâ€" prised .within its course of study, constituted the standard of efficiw ency, there would be nothing more i) desire. These things look extre- mely captivating to the uninitiated ; and when the champions of Victoria College proclaim to their church and to the c0untry, that their insti- tution is ‘ second to none in effici- ency,’ many whose habits of life and association have not been such as to fit them to investigate the truth of such assertions, believe them. But, sir, lknow men who hold the degree of B.A., from Vic- toria College, who could not, iftheir lives depended on it, pass the ‘iirst year’s’ examination in Toronto Uni-s versity ; and it is only a few days since mail was informed ofa young man; who is a regularly matriculated student at Cobourg ofthc Freshman class, and who, as such, obtained , his status'in Toronto, where he found to his surprise that he was so seriously deficient in the subjects of study, (although he had held a good standing in his classes in Cobourg) that he Was compelled to give up the attempt for that. year, and re- tire.to one of the county grammar schools to begin his preparation afresh. The truth is, that men, whose. judgment is worth anything in these matters, laugh at the idea of degrees from Cobourg, and con- sider them as so much worthless parchment. The 'Wesleyans have expressed their desire that there should be in the country ‘ one cenâ€" tral, non-denominational university for examining students and confer- ring degrees;’ but, sir, what be- nefit can arise from such an ar- rangement, it there be not at the same time a university college of the same character to prepare stu- dents for a rigid university exami- nation. \Vithout this, the only way I can. see of maintaining one ‘ cen- tral university,’ is to lowcrits stand- ard of requirements to meet the abi- lities of such schools of preparation as Victoria College.

It cannot be supposed that ,therewore five people We. sent who took the trouble to follow hi3, V through the labyrinth ot-aoitibmetical prov bleins, regarding the debtor. and creditou account of the country, with which licbe‘; ' ‘i wildered the electors. Mr. Denison' fol- lowed, explaining, clearly that he did not’I come before the electors as a thick and ' thin supporter of the present ministey, But on the contrary was determined to seek it even handed justice for Upper Canada on. all occasions, and especially “ Representa- ation by Population.” He was repeatedly inturupted by bursts of applause, especially when he turned the tables on M r. Howland who had stated, that “ as Mr. Denison and his friends made So much fuss about loyal!» ty supposed Mr. Denison had imbibed it! i with his mother’s milk.” r Mr. Denisom acknowledged that he had imbibed loyalty to the mother country, with his mother’s milk, and he must naturally conclude that Mr. Howland had imbibed loyalty to his mother country in the same way. As the matter continued in Mr. Denison's speech: . is principally enunciath in his address, which is before the public, it is needless to recapitulate it. Mr. McNabb then gave a specimen of the eloquence for which he is so highly distinguished as a special plead- er,' but winch was completely foreign: to the subject before the electors, as it was . almost entirely concerning the Georgian Bay Canal, and then retired in favor of.. Mr. Howlanrl. Mr. 1’. Bull, who, as well as the last“ speaker was .imited by the Returning Ofliv cer to ten minutes, gave a short but effect- ive speech condemnatory of the rash policy of the Grits, and pointed out the absurdity of stigmatizing every man who did not: pledge himself to support the Brown-Ma..â€" ’ Dougall clique, as a Ministerialist, and as such to tax him with the faults of the pre- sent Adminstration. Mr. Bull retired inI favor of Mr. Denison, The most unfair part of the proceeding was, that Mixlrl'ow; land was allowed to answer Mr. Denison's speech, whilst Mr. Denison was_not allow- ed to say a word in reply. The vote was then taken outside the hall, and the words A of the Returning Officer were, “if there is any difference it is slightiy in favor of Mr.~ Howland.” A Poll was then demanded by Mr. Dcnison. The result surpassed. the expectations of Mr. Denisons’s friends, who had not taken the slightest precaution to ensure a majority, whilst Mr. Howlands party brought down wagon loads of people. from Kleinberg and its vicinity, and law- yers from Toronto. From this we must cuticlude, that strong as Mr. I-Iowlandt thinks hiinSelf, he will find that this elect-â€" ion is not quite so easy a matter as he sup- poses. MR, DENISON’S CANVASS,__Qn Man. who have votes in the \Vest Riding would day, at 2 p.m., Mr. Denison addressed a largeand influential meeting at Thornhill. At 7 p. m., the same day he held a meet- ing at Richmond Hill. At both these places he explained his views on the great questions of the day, in a very becoming manner. >0< \YEST YORK NOMINATION. From the Leader. .The nomination for the \Vest Riding of 'York, which took place on Saturday at Weston was, take it altogether, a greater success than Mr. Denison’s friends who were there anticipated, as none of the usual plans had been resorted to, to ensure a victory on his part. At about one o’clock, P. M. the candidates with their friends, being in attendance, the proceedâ€" ings were opened in the hall adjoining the Eagle Hotel. Abot three hundred elect- ors from various parts of the Riding were present, together with sundry Clear Grit lawyers from Toronto, who went out to astonislr the country peOple with their brilliant eloquence. The proclamation having been read by the Returning Officer there was an amusing delay ofsomc min- utes occasioned by the unwillingness of have turned the scale on Saturdays. And it is certain that all necessary steps will be taken by Mr. Dcnisbn’s friends to secure his trihumpant return. BIRTH.

A Procession will‘bo was even some prospect of an adjournment of the meeting to Monday.

Mr. Tyrrell, of \Veston, se- conded the worthy M. P. P., and took oc- casion whilst doing so to praise the loyalty of the West York electors and apologized for Mr. McDougall’s annexation policy. Mr. J. Gemble then proposed Mr. Denison, and pointed out clearly to the electors how much better an agricultural population would serve their own interests by returning to Parliament an agriculturalâ€" ist of the honorable character and inde- pendent pesition of Mr. Denison, than a gentleman who was pledged to support George Brown’s policy through thick and thin, no matter to what lengths Mr. Brown and his henchmen McDougall might go. He also reminded the electors of the fact that although the public debt was large, yet it was not as if we had nothing to show for it, f0i we had in Canada public' wm-ks equal to those of any country in the world, one indeed, the Victoria Bridge,- that is the admiration and wonder of foreigners of every nation. Mr. Gamble was received by the electors with that reâ€" spect which his well known character and long services entitled him. Col. Thomp- son seconded Mr. Denison, aml made a‘ few remarks showing the want of men of Mr. Denison’s upright and determined character in the House of Assembly. Mr. J. McNabb, one of the lawyers Irom‘To- ronto, was then proposed and seconded by two stead’y looking individuals whose names we could not ascertain and whose ed'u-r cation in the mother tongue had evidently not received that” attention which is so re- quisct for a public sf writer, Mr.J.
