The panic in England about Canada. This panic appears to us to be more utterly ridiculous than anything we ever heard of. The English Government can build enough iron gunboats in Canada, in six months, to send all Abe's navy to Davy Jones, and render it impossible for the Yankees to cross the Lakes of the St. Lawrence. At the same time the Yankees have some four or five times as much as they can do in conquering us. They could do nothing in Canada if they were on foot there to-morrow. Let John Bull put an iron fleet at once upon the Lakes, and he will have no cause to fear. Doubtless secret fears for Canada have had their effect in preventing our recognition, although we believe we should not have been recognized though Canada had never existed.

lf-loading artillery that will fire a hundred times a minute, titles that are a sure shot at a thousand yards, and pistols, with a dozen barrels, that will shoot as far as rifle, almost invented. Cannon balls that will pierce any thickness of iron, and iron plating that will resist successfully any cannon ball, are plenty as blackberries. But the greatest of our inventions is the iron ram, the pets of the nation, one of which, barring unfortunate accidents, would suffice to butt down to Davy Jones's locker the whole of the Yankee navy. Barring accidents, wouldn't the Manassas, or the Merrimac, the Louisiana, the Mississippi, or the Arrases, have done all this? And won't the Richmond do it when she is finished?--when she is finished! We must be patient, and recollect that Rome was not built in a day, and "that Nosh was a hundred years in building the ark" For our part, we should be quite satisfied that our folks should be as long in building the Richmond, for we have some misgivi

Resistance to the enrolling officers — man killed, &c. Patrick C. H., Va., Oct. 10, 1862. We have considerable excitement here. The enrolling officers in making an arrest last Sunday night, were resisted. A pistol was snapped by a man by the name of Jack Bryant, at one of the officers, Jones, who fired upon Bryant, inflicting a mortal wound. The two prisoners arrested by them, Moore and Roarer, were started for this place in charge of one of the party, (Mr. Hatcher,) when near the top of the Bull, mountain, he was fired upon by a party of two men in ambush. He returned the fire, dismounting and taking advantage of his horse, but was forced to save himself by taking to his heels; his horse having been so badly wounded that it was with difficulty he could be gotten from the field. Young Hatcher escaped unhurt, except the effect of the race. The prisoners escaped. One of them, Rorer, is said to have received a severe wound from his friends in the bushes. The county is t

llandigham being a passenger. It is, of course, impossible to say upon what grounds that expectation ascertaining ceeded in communicating with this city since his exit to Dixie, but this much you may rely upon: Preparation have been made to receive him in a public man or should he arrive in the British Queen. I must not be supposed that all Democrat concur in the propriety of a demonstration of that land, in favor of such a man, at such a time. On the contrary, many of them wish him in Davy Jones's locker; or, it not there, that he will go from Nassau to Halifax, or anywhere than to New York, though, at the same they say that if chance should really back here they would have no to "stand by him." The reception are understood to be in communication with a high official functionary at Albany on the subject, but his views as to what ought to be done when Vallandigham arrives have not yet been disclosed. The action of Governor Parker of New Jersey, in recalling the regiment d

Federal port that a Federal war, vessel would exercise in the case of a ship carrying contraband of war to a Confederate port; and if not, whether such partiality in favor of one of two belligerent powers is reconcilable with the strict neutrality professed by her Majesty's Government." The very cute reply was that the Confederate cruisers had the same right as Federal cruisers, but that vessels thus captured must be taken into a port for condemnation before a prize court. As we lave no ports that are not blockaded, and English ports are closed against us, the concession of the right amounts to nothing, unless our cruisers choose to capture the vessel, and, if they cannot find a port, furnish her with one in Davy Jones's Locker. That portion of British profits which is made from contraband of war ought to be disposed of in the most summary manner. The Irish emigrant ships come under this head, and ought to be overhauled by our cruisers, and sent back to their place of departure.
