The following details of this severe en. gagernent are from the letter of an ofiicer in the Wheeling battery :â€" We began to fight the rebels last Sat- urday, the 13th,. The ball was opened by our [centre] section of Battery D, on the. Strasburg road, and, battery L, of the Fifth United States artillery, on the Front Royal Road, the enemy driving us back until four o’clock, when they advanced in line of battle. 15y this time all of Battery D was in position to command the points of advance. The enemy formed on the hill to the right and beyond the Union Mills, and we on the other hill between the mills and the town with the One Hun- dred and 'l‘wenty-thiid Uhio, Eighty-third Pennsylvania. and Twelfth Virginia to support us. They came right at us almost at a double-quick. The first line came through our fire to a stone wall. There they were met by the infantry who stood to the work bravely. The. second line came under fire with a yell. We gave lltetIISrlCll a deadly reCeption that they broke before they met our infantry. Then our men charged the first line, and it broke, and We held the field. The ene- my‘s guns Were oflhe heaviest, twenty and thirty-two pounder rifled guns. We fell back at dusk to our old positionby the fort bringing everything with us out of town). The next morning the ball opened from the tort by our twenty pounder siege guns. but there was little fighting sat-e now and then a few, shots from the skir- mislicrs, until four in the evening. Up to the I‘lth inst. Some days ago, a rather respectable looking man, of middle height and [my complexion, called at the minis ter‘s house and intimated his intention of getting mmried, The preliminaries were speedily arranged, the freense obtained. and the marriage day fixed; the brides- maids were invited, and ‘ all went tnerry as a marriage hell.’ The marriage W215 to be. celebrated on Tuesday morning, a: 8 o’clock.

According~ ly, his reverence returned to his house to discuss the merits of the breakfast which no doubt awaited him. During breakfast. however, a knock came to the door, and announced the arrival of the happy party. The reverend gentlemen coolly said that after breakfast he would be at their ser- vice. Anon he presented himself at the desk, and before him stood the couple who by him were soon to be made happy. He proceeded to read the marriage ser.

The relative strength of the five wards in this township is nearly equal; consequently had the Conservatives been as zealous and indefatigable in their exertions .in the other wards as NO. 2, Vaughan would have polled 375 votes for Thomson, instead of 178. Indeed it is very certain that if Col. Thomson had only been earlier in the field, or any man who would have consci- entiously pledged himself to rep or use his efforts to this end-the Separate SchoolBillâ€"he would have been returned almost unani- mounly, so bitter was the feeling of the Riding against Mr. Howluml yfor deceiving them on this question. There can be no doubt, however, that under the many disadvantages the Conservatives have been labour- ing their successis truly surprising, and only wantediime to be a com- plete victory. But thOugh they have not succeeded in this, the. number actually polled in the brief interval given to Canvass will have agood influence over Mr. How- land ; telling him in. unmistakable language that his Protestant con- stituents will not suffer any undue privileges being conceded to Ro- man Catholics. As regards the Separate School Bill, it so happens that it will only tend to show the weakness of the Roman Catholics ! and their incorrigible grasping for power. Unaided by Protestants. they cannot work 3. Separate School. Protestants will lend no assistance to anything sectarian, unless it is Protestant ; hence their privilege is the tool of their own destruction. But what the voters say and vote against is the principle involved in the dangerous prece- dent of concession. They argue, that as the. Protestants ask for no advantages from the state, the R0- man Catholics have no right to do so either; and to grant them: any is a legal wrougas regards cur cal c regards the education and progress committee then went forward and of Society. Now that the Reformers have gained their end, we wait with pa- tience to see what the result of all their bustle will be.

It will be a happy day for Canada when such a'Min- istry presides over the affairs of our country. lts_capacity to do good will be as unlimited as the need to do good.

A few weeks ago a writer in the London Times attempted to prove that the Province has virtually as- sumed the responsibility of the debt of the city of Hamilton. The argu- ments be adduced to prove that the creditors have an equitable claim upon the Province, are manifestly fallacious with the exception of one. founded on the fact, that the Legislature has recently passed an act which has so changed the man- ner ofasscssing vacant lands, parks, and pleasure grounds as to have materially damaged ‘ the revenues which constituted the securities of the English lenders.’ We look on the statute referred to as the most unreasonable and unjust which has been passed for several years. By diminishing the assessed value of taxable property, it has uecessaril raised the rate per pound, and thus considerably increased the. burdens ol‘tbe poor, while it has lessened the taxes oftbe rich in many cases one-half. Gentlemen possessing large property in our cities are now assessed at less than one-half the amount of former years, while the labourers they employ now pay twenty-five per cent more in tayes. Besides, it is utterly impossible to make any fair assessment as the law now stands, for though it is easy to ascertain the yearly value Of an, acre of cabbage garden, who is capable of deciding the ‘ annual reutul’ which an acre of pleasure ground l'is worth for the purpose for which it is used? The law is specially calculated to benefit the rich at the expense of the rest of the community, and" in: this it sun. coeds admirably, for it relieves the large landowners who are well able to bear any amount of taxation. while it increases the burdens of the poor who are struggling to make. a scanty livelihood. , We believe that this obnoxious measure owes its origin to the Hon. David Reesor, of Markhamâ€"of whom, indeed, nothing better could be expected, as his lack of common sense is very remarkable wherever his interests are involved. He will receive an uneuviable notoriety if his Act is the. means of settling the Hamilton debt, amounting to more than a million of dollars, on the Province. We sincerely trust this may never happen, though nothing an free him from the reproach he deserves as a man who legislates to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. . How a man, capable of such base and selfish conduct, can receive the confidence of the yen- manry of the County of York, we cannot divine. Reesor is truly a patriot of the first water and a moâ€" del legislator ! “new Presentation. On Thursday evening, June 18th, the friends of the Rev. '1‘. A.

There is a great tendency in all our minds to overrule the worth of those who may be inniruinental in otrr spiritual welfare.

He loved the work God had given him to do.â€"â€"lie hopes to be successful in it while he lives, and had no desire to live longer than he could be useful.

He would not forget the kindness of his friends at Richmond Hill. They would cou- tinne to have a place in his heart and an iii- terest in his prayers. ' An address was then delivered by the Rev. MnDean, and a few additional remarks made by Mr. Ferguson, in which, he. took an af- fectionate farewell.
