rmy. But I will no longer indulge in this strain; it makes me sad, and it is my duty to give at least the meed of cheerfulness to our kind friends; in truth, we have a right cheerful household. It would be amusing to an observer to see us on mail days. The papers are read aloud, from Terms to finis, by N., who, being a good reader, and having the powers of endurance to a great degree, goes on untiringly, notwithstanding the running commentaries kept up throughout from many voices. October 5, 1861. M. P. and myself drove to Millwood yesterday, and heard various rumours of victories in Western Virginia, and in Missouri; but we are afraid to believe them. At home we go on as usual. October 8, 1861. At church yesterday; the services interesting; the Communion administered. Rev. Dr. A. delivered an address, perhaps a little too political for the occasion. The news from Western Virginia not confirmed. Another rumour of a fight on Cheat Mountain, in which General Jackso

Some of the companies were raised in other states; two came from New York, one from Iowa, one from Ohio, and one from New Jersey. It organized at Philadelphia, October 5, 1861, and the same month went to Virginia, 1130 strong. After a month's stay in a camp of instruction it proceeded to Fort Monroe, where it spent six months, or more in drill and light duty. Active service commenced in May, 1862, some of the companies doing duty near Suffolk, while five companies served with General McClellan's Army on the Peninsula. In 1863, the regiment was employed on scouting and outpost duty in the vicinity of Suffolk and the Blackwater, during which several minor af

United States steamer Louisiana, Chincoteague Inlet, Va., October 5, 1861. this morning at nine o'clock we had a sharp conflict with the enemy, who, three hundred strong, attempted to cut off two boats from this vessel and twenty-three men, all told, which I had despatched to take or destroy a fine schooner which, I had reason to believe, was being converted into a privateer. Fortunately I had gone in with the steamer at the same time, it being high tide, and was enabled to cover the return of the party. The boats, after passing through a terrible fire, finally reached the schooner; but, finding her aground, made a breastwork of her and opened a deadly fire, which, with the assistance of a few shots from our long-range gun, drove the enemy back to a distant cover with loss, and the boats, after firing the schooner, returned without further molestation. Acting-master Furness estimates the loss of the

M. we discovered several sailing vessels over the wood-land Kine Keet, and at the same time, a regiment marching to the northward, carrying a rebel flag in their midst, with many stragglers in the rear; also two tugs insid

Doc. 84. National Enlistments in Canada. Letter from Arthur Rankin. Mr. Rankin was arrested for an alleged violation of the neutrality laws, and bound over to take his trial at the assizes in Toronto; but he explained his position in the following letter addressed to the Toronto Leader, in which he makes a strong point in reference to the enlistment of Englishmen in foreign service, and the proper interpretation of the Queen's proclamation: Toronto, October 5, 1861. To the Editor of the Leader: sir: No one could be more willing than I am to concede to the journalist the right to comment upon the current events of the day, or on the conduct of public men, in so far as that conduct has any bearing upon public interests; but there are limits within which even the members of the privileged fourth estate ought to confine themselves. That you have overstepped those limits I shall endeavor to show. On the arrival of the Leader of the 3d inst. at Windsor, my attention wa
