LEASED:* S:
Mr. Stuart Mulkine-aived in Toronto'
last Tuesday -morning having carne direct
from thescene of troubles f in the North-
West. Mr. hulking was taken prisoner
by the rebelson the 7th of Deaearber, and
remained .in confinement until the•6th of
January, when he was released. His ad-
count of the affair is particularly interest-
ing. He says:
r Were `t aRET
-Proper, is composed of about three sena of
laud, surrounded by a twelve: foot bard
&dace, . two inches thick'. The' buildings.
`within the enclosure are all built, pf, logs
,pr boards; nuns of them, are of : straw:
Within the Fort Mr..- hulking was: c en-
fined. The prisoners were Served with ra=
dens, of Which a strict account hale. been
kept by the 'Hudson Bary. Company, %n -omit
er to charge the Canadian Government with
them. It is the intention of- the • insur-
gents to charge the Cal-aidian `Government
trer everything, used by tate' prisoners, send
with that object in view ,at.�.Riviere .and
they seized GovernorMcDougall's furniture

R 1EL1..
`President Rioll i3 a man standing, abet
five feet eight, • Tile `ie about 25 < years, of,
age ; .has light hair, i.e .clean shaved, and
has a restless eye., From his appearaticfr•. e
stranger; ,would not be Likely to take him
for a half breed When in conversation he
looks his man _straight in the face with a
searching_eye, and it would edifficult to
deceive him. He is smart, beyond a doubt,
but his nature is very changeable. When
-bort harry was captured, he displayed his
want of firmness on several occasions. eAt•
first he ordered the gates of the Fete to be'
'closed, ; but hardly .card the order been' .exe-
euted when be countermanded it, and had.
them thrown. open .again. Another r►inie
he sent a patrol through the Settlement,
but it was. not kept up for many hours, ow-
ing to his want of pluck. ' Like a French•
man, he has a great deal of dish and show
about him and when he doe3 anything lie Iets
the world know of it. She general impres-
sion in the Settlement is that the
ROMAN. CATHOLIC CLERGY.
are at the bottom of the trouble. a One of
the settlers said to Mr. Mulkins that he
eras prepared to take his oath at any time
to the fact; that before -;Bishop Fef 4,44' deft
Rome, he 'totes him that he (Tache] expect-
ed troublesome times in the Settlement,
and that if he could manage to obtain per-
mission to remain away until :it was all.
over, he would , do so. It is generally'
thought that Bishop . Tache could stop the
mavewent'if he pleased, but he had made
nn effort to do 'so yet.,
WIRE -PULLERS.
Every person of intelligence acknowled-
ges that there are others behind Riell who
are urging pita on. •Bannatyne 'and Begg, -
fur dealers in, the :settlement, ,are freely
spoken of as wire idlers. • They have' snot
yet come °pertly in support of him, and Con-
sequently nothing can be .brought ag4inst
them ; but there is no doubt that they are
in his favor. They don't want the cou`htry
settled, because they think it would ruin
the fur trade. The Americans are working
for annexation,! white, the ;Irish want to es-
tablish an Irish Republic.
ANNEXATION
Is out of the question, notwithstanding
that the Yankees are working hard for. it.
The Indians, to a man, are loyal, and de-
test the Americans. The Sioux .Indians
are particularly 'bitter. All the traders
will use their influence against annexation.
It is impossible to say tvha,t the Scotch and
1
English half-breeds will do. " alt, : ,so far,
they have played the parts of 'cowards.
They are perfectly willing to drill for a dol-
lar a day and their rations, but when it
oomes to fighting it is quite another affair..
The French might oppose the English and
Scotch half-breeds, but ifa strong force was
brought against them' they would snake very
little opposition. Some of the Yankee set-
tlers talk of obtaining assistance from the
Feeians, hut this is out of the question,
ai3 it would cost $50 per man for transport,
not counting the cost of provisions which
they would be obliged to supply.
COIONEL RTULTZMAN
is a lawyer and office -holder at Pembina
and intends running for Congress next
election.—He has no lege, but waddles along
on a couple of stumpseabout six or eight
inches in length. _ He is a fire-eater in
spite of his crippled r condition.
BRUCE
has nothing to do with the management of
the movement, now that Riell has been apt
pointed President.;, but Mr..Mulkins could
not say whether he has withdrawn from it
altogether or not.
ROSS AND COLWELL..
Messrs. Boss & Colwell, had completed
their arrangements for issuing the Pioneer,
and had their forms on the press, when
they were seized by the rebels; _ Ross at
first pretended to work for the loyal party,
but he afterwards took the oath. It is gen-
erally believed the!. he is playing a double
game. No one knows much about Mr.
Colwell, as he keeps matters to himself.
He is, veryquiet, but is believed to be on
the square.

THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The Hi*18r p't Ft' ‘Company never=,were
favourably impressed with Mr. McDougall.
He told too mini 'dis$gt eeable truths con-
.oernine tkeom. at the . time of the negotia-
tions in England. It is said that they in-
fluenced the 'prieitss against him, it'd that
the priests incited the hulffbreedss to insut-

formed, they have travelling stones in Ne-
vada. Here is a description :—'• They are
almost round, and a majority of then as
large as a walnut, And pf . an irony. nature.
When distributed about upo>i the floor,
table or any other level surface, within
two. or,4rei flet/Of pack other, they im-
mediately begin travelling toward -a° corn-
moncentre, and then ` d e 'up in a bunch
like a lotirOf eggs in a nest. A single stone
removed to a distance of three and a half
feet, upon beiaig;releated, at once iitaeted off
with wonderful, and somewhat comical
celerity to join its fellows ; tsken away
four or five feet it remained motionless.
They are found in a region that, although
comparatively level, is nothing but barren
rock. Scattered over the barren regions
are little basins, from a few feet tea rod ' in
diameter, and it is in the bottom of these
that these rolling stones are found. They
are from the size of a pea to five or six
inches in diameter. The cause of these
stones rolling together is doubtless to be
found in . the material of which they are
composed, which appear to be loadstone or
magnetic iron ore. , 4 `

dom knows his own Mind for any length of

that he was a strong supporter of Canada
against the Hudson Bay Company ; but
now he can say nothing too bad against
Canada.

In fact nothing is known of 'it except by
tradition. Probably the matter is known
to the explorers, though I have not seen it
adverted to. It would be an "interesting
object for search. The discovery of it
would be one of the greatest which could
be made. I have thought that some of our
readers might know something more about
it than I do.
