RED RIVER. Canadian Views of the Insur- rection. THE INSURGENT LEADERS TO BE BOUGHT Coercion by the Hudson Bay Com- pany in Prospect. SKETCH OF GOVERNOR McDOUGALL. MonTazat, Dec. 28, 1962, ‘The Red River insurrection 18 the only topic of general discussion nere; but as yet tle public sgem to regard the subject with remarkable indifference, ‘There is no manilestation of feeling at all, and very Nittle argument is heard respecting the merits of the case, the people treating the matter with littie more interest than that of curiosity. No indignation ‘whatever is expressed at the rebveliioas attitude of the Northwest, uor is there much partisanship shown for Governor McDougall even by his personal friends; but everybody 1s patiently waiting aad ex- pecting an amicabie settiement through new agents of the Canadian government, who in their negotia- tions may set aside the McDougall régime a'together. ‘This state of affairs can be best explained by giving concise review of the events leading to the Red River insurrection, the main features of which were wet forth in the Hera: some days ago. Inthe frst place the transfer of the Northwest Territory carried out by what is known as the “Iu- perv’s Land act of 1863,"’ was conceived and exe- cuted by a few individuals, without the co operation or sympathy of either the people of Canada or of the Reda River country. The Hudson Bay Company Ond- dog that its occapation of the Territory was rapidiy ceasing to be profitable, and that very soon their title would become @ subject of dispute, shrewaly determined to make a bargain with the New Domin- ton government, Which should not only yield them a handsome sum for that which was no louger valua- ble to them, but should give them a good title to a Vast tract to be selected by themseives, The otuer Parties to the transaction consisted of two or three officials of the Canadian Mints:ry, who saw an op- portunity to eolarge the boundaries of their New Dominion and provide a new fidd of reward to favorites, All the energies of the Iiud- son Bay Company and the lifuence of the above Mentioned Canadian oficiala were united in a pow erful lobby, which, after a hard struggle, effected its Purpose and bronght about a purchase of the North. west Territory, the Hudsou Bay Company receiving £300,000 and reserving one-twentieth of tne laud to be selected by themselves, The validity of the Hud- son Bay Company's title to the Northwest Lerritory ‘Was never acknowicdged before. On the contrary, it was held that the company simpiy possessed an exclusive right to conduct the fur trade in the Ter- ritory, and while so engaged to exercise juriadiciion over the people who settled in their ganie districts, and itis now admitied even py the parti to the transfer that the acknowledgment of ownership m the Hudson Bay Company was conceded as a matter f convenience rather than of right. The resolutions Felating to the transfer in the Dominion Parliament ‘Were at first carnestiy opposed, but the lobby baving accomplished go much in England and in Canada towards the transfer, the opponents of the purchase deemed it discretion on their part to acquiesce, In order not to array against thew own national pro- Jects the embittered hostility of tae Ministry, bent upon this acquisition of territory. The people of Canada were idle spectators to ali these transac- tious, and when the matter was supposed to be definitely settied, indifferently onserved the prepara- tions for taking possession and scarcely took we trouble to eXamine wie character of tne newly acquired country. The purchase money was to be Paid on the Ist of December, 1469, and in the mean- time the Canadian Ministers, who had brought about the iransfer, appointed their favorites in advance to go out and govern tue new Territory. ‘The Hon. Wiliam McDoagall, one of the Ministers engaged in the negotiation, aud said to have been the brains of the Wrausaction, was made Lieutenant Governor, and, with his family and retinue, set ont for Red river last fall, As yet, however, he had pot Teceived Is commission, but went out taking it for granted that his authority would be recognized at once, He has not yet been fuily empowered to assume the Goveruorship of ibe Territory, and is at preseat acting upon his appoimtment without having received lis commission or having any authority to enlorce his wisies. Mis political unpopuiarity 1a Canada, BO doubt, has a great deni to ay with the indifference manifested here respecting the success Of ine mission, and there 13 no nttie chuckling ove the sudden check which the indignaut Ked kiver peo,se bave given his. ‘Tne Canadian ometals, the press and the people are unanimous in disayowing all “tatcntion ana @ertre to force upon the Nortuwest Territory an un- welcome Governor. No one ever suspected thas tie Rew relations about io be imposed upon that coun- try would be objected co,by the Ked Kiver people, and Governor MeVougali went out ivere a8 unapprehei- Bive of opposition as auy Governor procceds from Wastungton to take charge of a Verritury in the United States, Now that such Serce opposition has been met with there 1s every tidication ot a spirit to conciliate the imsurrectionary seitiemenis. The press is severely criticising the Canadian side of the Question, and judging irom the tone of popular sen- tment there Is every reason to believe that no atcem pt wili be made to coerce the insurgents into Obedience to Governor McDougall. Indeed itis re- ported and universaly believed that the Dominion government wil: recall Governor McDougall, aud re- quire the Hudson Bay Company to effect a peace ful transfer of the Territory, These leas are lersely expressed im the iviiowmg lauguage by tue Moun. treal Guzele of to-day: Wehave now, from an auth thal Mr. MePoutatt has taken transfer to tie Don torfos, Upon what Canada Gazette and, on the subject.

It is now believed that the Canadian government contemplates negotiating with the insurrectlouary leaders through new agents, and that an attempt will be made Co mduce submiswion to Canadian au- thority by liberal offers of position or money to provisional Governor Bruce and General Rielle. If these two officials can be allenced im this manuer, the government will then undertake some-great ro: or internal improvement in that country, and by the Prospect of fat contracts, Aperenees business and Temuuerative labor tempt the subordinate oMccrs and the people to quietly accept the jurisdiction of the New Dominion.

In 1865 ne en- tered the Legisiature, and during the interval be- tween his discontinuance of bis paper and 1869 he acted a# political writer Jor the Glove, and at times conducted its political department. From Jo62 to 1864 be was Commissioner of Crown Lands in the liberal administration, and in the latter year he toon the post of Provincial Secretary in the coalition ad- miniatration of Sir E. P.

In addition to. the above pubiic duties he was chairman of the convention appointed in 1865 to open trade wit the West Indies, Brazi! and Mexico, and a member of the Charlottetown and Quebec Union Conference; and tn 1866 he proceeded to Engiand ag one of the delegates from Britian America, appointed to confer wita the imperial government im the framing of the Confed- eration act, He nas a brillant reputation ag a jour- nalist, and has beev remarkaoly successful as @ poil- ficlan.

Its Climate, Soil and Advantages for Scttle- ment. To THE EDITOR OF TRE WASHINGTON CuzON:CL The region of Northwest liritish America, which now excites so much attention as the gcene of an insurrection against the extension of Canadian juris- diction. has hitherto been occupied by a fur trading corporation interested In repressing any movement for its colonization. Great stre:s has been laid by publications in the interest of the Hudson Bay Company upon inundations of the Red river valley, an occasional Incnision of grasshoppers or excep- tional irosts and droughts during the summer months—events which, occuring elsewhere in the great interior basins of the continent, are recognized as casuaitics and permanently impairing the pros- pects of agriculture, Regarding it as quite :mpor- tant that the peop'e of the Unite 1 States should not, especially at the present juncture, underrate the natural advantages of the Red river and Saskatche- wan districts, a citizen of St. Paul solicits a brief hearlag for authorities whose testimony is fayorabie to the country. There is atmndant evidence that the Red river country is no inhospitable desert, repngnant to the increase of the humanrace, Mr. Lorin Blodgett, in his standard work on the ‘Climatolozy of North America,” has pointed out the existence of a vast wedge-shaped tract, extending from 47 degs, to 60 ge. of northern Jatitude, 10 degs. of longitads deep ai the pase, which may be denominated the Winni- peg basin. It contains 500,000 square miles of habit- able Jand, and ts subject to few and inconsiderable riations of climate, This author gives a summer ot ninety-five days to Toronto, and of ninety days to Cumberland House, on the Saskatchewan river, 1 latitude 54 degs, A Canadian engineer, Mr. Simon Dawson, from personal observation, compares the climate of Fort Garry to that of Kingston. Protessor Hindes, in an etaborate report to she Canatian gov- ernment. places the mean teniperature of Red river Jor the three summer months at 67 degs, 76 min., nearly three degrees of heat more than is neces- sary for corn, while July has four degrees of heat more thaa is required for its best development, Mr. Blodgett ciaims that the whole Saskatchewan valley has a citmate very nearly as mild in its arnua ayer- age as thatof St, Paul, which would give it a wine ter mean of fifteen degrees and an annual mean of forty-four degrees, representing the climate of Wis- consin, Northern lowa, Michigan, Western Canada, Northern New York ant Southern New England, In a report of the Treasury Department upon ‘For. elga and Domestic Commerce of the Unttet States,"?

His lan- uuge on the latter point 1s as follows:— Bat without casting more than @ passing glance on the ag- ricultural capacity of remote Peace river, we cone down to the fertile vailey and plain of the great Saal Wat, the Mississippi of the North, which pours ita waters fromthe Rocky mountains over more than 1,000 mites of agri« culturat territory toeming with coal and other mineral treas- ures, into Lake Winnipeg: and we may note thi fertile and desirable lands of its south or Bear river branch, the winter home in its wooded valleys of the buffalo and myriads of othor game; as far north as these region 8 are, actual experiment has sown then to be capabie of rals- ing’successfully nearly every cereal, hardly excepting corn, and every vegetable tliat can be e produced fn our lands of the temperate zone further south. what I have seen of the land fn that section, and from what I learned respecting its capaciiy, and making every allowance for its climate and for ite exteaardinary fertility also, I hesitate not to ascribe to the whale of the wper plaine on both branches of the Saskalcheican river an agricuttural value superior naturally to the fie! of our Neo England in their primitive eomutition, nnd though lack of Umber might be an objection to some portions of the Sas- Katchewan territory, yet, it bas niineral coal in abundance, which may be easily to supply fuel for « population of the densest character. The foregoing extracts are from an address of Governor Ramsey before the Minnesota Agrical- tural Society, e date of his trip to Selkirk was 1851. The italics occur in the original pubiication. The Selkirk people auring the subsequent penod of eighteen years have extended their settiements west of Fort Garry, more than fifty miles along the valley of the Assinivoin, and have sent numerous colonists to the vicinity of Fort Edmonton, on the North Saskatchewan, 1,000 miles distant. In this new settlement, four degrees north of Fort Garry, the writer has authentic toformation from a Mr. Christe, in command of the Hudson Bay Company’s post of Edinonton, that large quantities of wheat and other grains, besides herds of cattie, are pro- duced for the supply of the trading posts sttil further north. All these facts have become very familiar to the Canadian pubiic, and have induced a strong demre to obtain possession of # country so desirable as a flela of English and Canadian coionization—the Great West of the Dominion. The purpose of this communication is not to criticise the wisdom of the Mieasures to that end, or to comment on the events at Pembina, which have interrupted the progress of the Canadian representatives. but to caution’ the American public not to accept obsolete or preju- diced conclusions iu r¢aer .o the value of Central British America.

The animated and bopefui feeling which prevailed throughout the State prior to the meeting of Con- gress haz since its adjournment given place to one Of universal disappointment. No one then doubted that the State would be promptly admitted; but when the advances of committees were repelled, new exactions demanded and conditions sought to be imposed tbe people were Oiled with disgust and they relapsed seemiugly with one consent into that masterly state of inactivity so characteristic of the South since the close of the war. Even republicans, and radicais at that, opened tneir eyes in blank astonishment and asked with apparent dismay, “What more do they expect the po ple of Vir- ginia to do?’ Every single requirement, both of Congress and tne administration, bad been rigidly complied with, fuciudmg the adoption of both the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, as specified in the legal opmion of Attorney General Hoar. By @ larze majority vote the people had pleagea themselves to carry out the newly ad »pted constitution in leiter and spirit, and supplant com- mittees, self-constituted, however, repaired to Wash- tugion to assure Congress of this determination on the part of the Legislature. All this was without avail, and to-day, thougi most of the people are evi- dently anxious for immediate adiniasivn on almost any terms, yet there are many who would vastly prefer remaining under the present military govern- ment than to enter the Union with an “iron-clad’? Legisiature and conditions which. after their mant- fold professions, they would consider degrading. ‘The latter are an extreme class whose organ is the Eaguirer, which, in reply to the statement of a radical joarnal that Virginia was cringing at the feet of “A man once so abborred an denounced by the Richmond press” (Ben Butler), craving the boon of aplace in the federal Union, replica savagely as ollows:— © We never craved a place in the federal Union.

As in times gone by Virginia was the market for tho siave labor of the South, s0 now has sie become the field from which the Gulf States procure their free colored lubor. During the past three months nearly 1,0C0 negroes have departed southward, and if this emigration is kept up at the same rate for a few yeara the State will soon become depopulated of its best laoor material. Instead of increasing, as formerly, under the caveful treatment they expert- enced as slaves, the negro race is now rapidly de- creasing, and there 1s no imm:gration to aupply the ciency created, so that ere long darkies will be exceedingiy scarce in Virginia.

Men, women and children who are healtity and able to work are taken at a word, their expenses paid to their new homes and’ their wants supplied on the way. As a conse- quence of this system of emigration, having once got an impetus, most of the young and able-bodied portion o1 the colored population will rapidly foilow, leaving oniy the old, infirm and decrepit benind them, exceptin rare instauce2; for the negro 1s not attached to imeambrances which he can readuy shirk. ‘Thus im less than ten years there will be a dectded dearth of negro iavor In tis State, and in the meantine from what source 13 It to be replen- isheay All the efforts to induce foreign immigration to any portion of the South have proved comparative faiiures, and the on’y influx has been from the North—farmers who themselves purchased lands and consequently require labor.

The Principal entablature af the exterior walls will ve singularly effective in detat!, uvon which will be seated one of the most conspicuous roofs yet intro- duced upon any structure, public or private, erected in this country. In the several faces of the strect sides of this roof are placed highly burnished dor- mer windows, Intended to be constructed of stone or tron, above which the top of the roof will be finished with cornice and facta forming the seating of the bronze grille intended to inclose the entire upper section or fat of the roof. Iu idealizing the roof of the structure the architect has mtroauced several exceedingly novel and expressive features of finish, avoiding, it is believed, the sameness of ex- pression which too often chsracterizes the “Louvre” and Mansard roofs. ‘The Devonshire street fagad is sub-divided into flve compartments hy a “central projection” flanked by two ‘‘curtains,’’ finished at the corners of Water and Milk with “pavilions.’? The ‘central projection” and the two pavilions are respectively sabdivise. in thelr heignt by ordera of pilasters, colutana, ecutablaturea and balustrades, and the curtain finish ia dependent for its effect upon the window dressing aud attached entablatures and balustrades, excepting in the first or street story, whero the order of the first ov street story be- fore referred to is carried uniformly through the eu- ture length of the three strce: fayades. The principal centre entrance in the Devoushire street fagade com- municates with a broad staircase, located in & novie hall commuaicating directly with the second, third and fourth stories. The remaining entrances of this wide of the building give acceaa to the Post OMce corridor, designed to be twelve feet in height, above waich the strong light to be secured by the liberal window Speniahs the first story. will insure the fuil lighting of the Post Oflce apartment behind the corridors of this and the other two streets on which the butiding bounds, Both the corner pavil- lons of the Devonshire strect side are repeated on the Milk and Watey screets side3, and the architecture of these last will correspond in detail and flaish with the Devonshire street frout aforesaid. Two groups of @tatuary are designed m the coutral projection of Devousaire street side—one of them to crown the principal entrance and tno other group to surmount the fine atone “attic” which covers tne central pro- jectien, and faces the more elevated portion of tie roof over that side of the structure. The central group of siatuary, on the attic, is flanked by scuip- tured eagles, respectively ‘ocated over the two cuter corners of the attic. Approacning the siructure from either of the principal thoroughfares surrocuding it— Whether from State through Devonshire street, Franklin and Milk through Devonshire street, Wash- ington through Water street, or Washington through Mik street—the enect of this monumental mass to the eye will unquesuonavly be must harmonious and gratifying. EDWIN M. STANTON. A Southern Obituary. {From the Memphis (Tenn.) Avalanene,) Abad man has gone to his long account. A vil- 1am has shumied off this mortal coil. A despot has kickea the bucket, There was great rejoicing in Pandemonium yesterday, Since that eventiul day when Adam and £ve manufactured clothes out of Og-ieaves, there has been many large gatherings 1n bell and on earth, But the cavaicade that turned out in the infernal regions to greet Edwin M. stan- ton, who died yesterday, was, im all probability, tue largest that ever paid trihute io a congenial spirit. Stevens had been awarded the premium for bemg the biggest sinner: ail purgatory, and he is no doubt now jealous of Stanton, wio he Knows will putin forthe medal, with @ good prospect of win- ning it. That mawkish sentimentality which would throw the mantle of oblivion over the mis- deeds of dead rascais caunot be observed in chronicung the death of Edwin N. Stanton. The most exquisite tortures served stanton enjoyment. Tue tyranny of ‘Tiberius was lorgotten In his enormitie:. He revelled for several yeara in tormenting all over whom he had power, but wnen he oifended heaven and earth by hanging an innocent woman like a dog, God visitea him with Hie righteous anger, and since the consummation of this atrocious deed Stanton’s physical system com- menced decaying and breaking up, and witheut a siugie tie on earth, desutute of a:1 belief in the Chris- tian religion. he died, aud @ litte soul, steeped in sin, went to the devil, In nature he was revengeful aud malignant, and 40 stubborn in opinion that he rarely changed his views or reiinquisned a@ purpose. He Was Qs reinorecless and cruel mn disposition as 9 Camanche Indian, and joyously and without a shud der would have turned the Southern peop ¢ over to massacre and their homes to desvlation, He was serene, pot froin philosophy, but from temperament and torpor. He beionged eminently ty the animals Known as cold-bloods, No impuises ever stirred the feeble and sluggish currents of bis moral or meutal nature. To cali him a brute would be a bel upon the dog. Of humanity he was desti- tute. He was serviie, he was cowardly, Fer of his deati suows tie finger of retribution. He hungered for bivod, fora position that would enabie him wo bedevil a aefenceiess people, A President as mean and ma‘ignant as himself appointed him United States Supreme Court Judge. This power caused the ftlend to Durst into wild, demiomac laughs. But that God who would not permit the butiders to occupy the impious tower on tae plains of Shinar smote the unctious scoundrel go that he died. Nearly all the conspirators against the life of Mrs. Surratt have been biotted irom tne world they disgraced. Conover was sent to the Penitentiary aud Andrew Johnson was cbnsigned to private lite, Holt still lives, but still prays for death. Stanton has gone aud Holt wiil s00n follow, for not more cer- tainly is be burned who puts bis haad in the fames than 18 he punished wao commits a moral wrong. Tue wicked man’s “sins will find him out?’ It is not an agreeable duty to inscribe the true character 01 an infamous public nan on his tomb; but it 1 an imperative duty. Speak nothing but the truth of tae dead, Stanton, the imiamous, 18 drinking moiten ion, trading in pjrotecinics and broiling in a neated furnace and the people rejoice. A LEAP FJ3 DEATH. Miraculous Escape of a Would-Be Suicide at the Massachusetts State Prison. {From the Boston Jouraal, Dec. 29.) A poor fellow named Thomas Coyne, sentenced to the State Prigon for life, to whoge heart hope has been for s1X years a s.ranger, attempted to end his earthly existence faesday Pea by making a desperate plunge, head iordémosi, from the tourth corridor in the south wing to the solld granite pave- ment, nearly forty feet below. Miraculous as it seems, he was in no way injured, and literally es- caped without @ bruise. A sma:l wooden stool happened to stand on the spot wiere he tell, and his bouy, turning in the descent, was precipitated upon it, crashing It to splinters. - The stool saved his life, for if ne had falien upom the stone floor every hone tn his body must have been shattered, taken up in an unconsctous condition aud carriéd to the hospital, where he sgon revived and {a a short time commeénced to waik about, ouly complaining of a slight lameness in his legs, The prisoners were marching out m division at the time—about seven in the morning. Coyne attempted to excuse himself by Saying that he silpped off tue edge of the corri- dor, Dut this 18 ao absolute Impossibility as there are horizontal Irou guards every two feet on the outer edge of the corridor from the floor to ceiling. He has been very down-spirited for so:ne days and took this desperate method to rid Limself of ais despair, He is an Irishman by birth and has always borne @ good character in the prison. He was a sailoz, and the crime for which he recetyed a lite sentence was the murder. of a Mau with wiiom he had some trouble and whom he followed here tron New York for this purpose, He 1s thirty-four years of age and has jastcompieted the sixth year of his term. Having not @ friend in the world and with a tuture almost a blank, it 13 no wonder that he cared nothing for life. THE PROBABLE ERROR IN THE SUN’s DIsTANCE.— In order to give au idea of the extraoraimary interest that dy attached to the next iransit we give the re- suits of the two last 1 regard to the sun’s distance. In Ferguson's Astrouomy, written avout the middie of the last century, the exrth’s distance Irom the sun is given as 82,000,0.0 miles. The transit of 1763 gave A Lesuit Of 95,000,000 miles. The same result was ob- tained by the transit of 1769, We are not now de- pendent alone upon the transit of Venus. The base ine syztem has been applied to Mars, aud even the velocity of light has been made to Dear on the prob- ‘The resuit of modern investigation shows an error of 4,000,000 miles. Tos might appear to bea great fauit in asironoimicai calcuiations; out even this error in the sun’s angular diameter, if it de an error, is no greater than the breadth of a human hair seen at the distance of 125 feet Moreover, @ Mr. Stone, of the Greenwich Observatory, Las dis. covered a mistake in the calculations of the transit of 1769 which brinza the snn’s distance dowa to 91,000,000 miles. For his .r has been awarded to him by the Royal Geozraphical Society. The next transit of Venus wu therefore be anucipated and observed in every inhabited quarter of the globe, witi aa intensity of interest which no natural phenoinenon has ever excited, Distant stations have aiready deen chosen; the most accurate Instruments ace beiag constructed; ar- rangements for the outfit of expeditions have been cominenced; it is nearly the for those designed for the Aatarciic regions to commence their lon, journey. ‘tbe Engish astronomers have selecte their stations and have petitioned Pariiament for a grant of $60,000; the French academy is vigorously at work; tue German “Bunds” are wealousiy im the feild, and the other European societies will contribute their share to the greet objec.
