INTERESTING ACCOUNT BY .ONS or fart .AE-
LEASICD PlititioNtR8.
Mr, Stuscrt Hullo arrived in Toronto.
last Tuesday too int ` ` having coins direct
from;thesceue'of tr Voles in `thee North,`
West, Mr. Mulkins was taken ,prisoneat'
by the rebels on " the 7th, ofr pace ber, and
�i % F k
remained in con imilien�t until tai 6th `of
January, when he was rebased. His ac-
count of tlie-alfair is p u ticiilarly interest-
ing. He sap 7-
r ` f FOitT `t3AR '!' .:
Proper, is composed of about thre4 acres of
land, surrounded by a twelve foot board
fence, two inches thick. The buildings
within the enclosure are all built of logs
or boards; none of them are f straw.
Within _the Fort Mr. Hulking as con-
fined. The prisoners were nerved with ra-
tions, of which a strict account as been
kept by the Hudson Bay Compan, in ord-
er to charge the Canadian Govern ent with
them. It is the intention ` of t e insur-
gents to charge the Canadian Go ernment
for everything used by the prisoners, and
with that object in view at Riviere Sale
they seizedG ►erne M 1's`furniture'
as collateral security.
&IEI.L.
President Riell is a man standing about
five feet eight. He is about 25 ears of
age ; has light hair, is clean sba ed, and
has a restless eye. From his a r ranee a
stranger would not be likely to oke him
for a half breed. When in conversation he
looks his man.stra<ight•in the face with a
searching eye, and it would lie difficult to
deceive him. He is smart, beyond a doubt,
but his nature is very changeable. When.
Fort Garry was captured, be displayed his
want of firmness on. several occasions. At
first he ordered the gates of the Fort to be
closed, but hardly had the order been exe-
cuted when he countermanded it, and had
them thrown open again. Another time
he Gent : a. patrol through .the : ttlementr,
but it was not opt up fonatiany• h Vis, Ow-
ing to his want of pluck. Like a French-
man, he bas a great deal of dash and show
about him and when he does anything he lets
the world know of it. She general impres-
sion in the Settlement is that the
i ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY
are at the bottom of the trouble. I One of
the settlers said to Mr. Mulkins that he
was prepared to take his oath at ny time
to the fact, that before Bishop Tache left
Rome, he told 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 ` enerally
thought that Bishop Tache .coald top the
movement if he pleased, but he had made
no effort to de. so yet.
WIRE=PULLLRS.
Every person of intelligence ac nowled-
ges that. there are others behind R4eli who
are urging him on. Bannatyne a4d Begg,
fur dealers in the settlement, a e freely
spoken of as wirepullers. They ave not
yet come openly in support of him, and con-
sequently nothing can be brough against
them ; but there is no doubt that hey are
in his favor. They don't want th 'country -
settled, because they -think it wo Id ruin
the fur trade. The Americans are working
for annexation, while the Irish w nt to es-
tablish an Irish Republic.
r
, A11NEXATI<6N
Is out of the question, notwithstanding
that the Yankees are working bard 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 what the Sc4ch and
English half-breeds will do ; bu, so far.
they have played . the
-arts .of cowards.
They are perfectly . willing to drill for a dol-
lar a day and their rations, but when it
comes to fighting it is quite another affair.
The French might oppose the -English and
Scotch half-breeds, but if a strong force; was
--brought against them they would make vet y
little•OipP�-
tion. Some of the Yankee . sol-
ders talk of obtaining assistance ram the
Fenians, hut this is out of theq uestion
as it would cost $50 per man for: _
not counting the . cost of provisio
they would be obliged tie supply.

is particulaily hot against Canada. He sel-
dom knows his own mind for any length of

THE CAUSE OP 'tete TROUBLE.
The Hudson's Bay Company never were
favourably impressed with Mr. McDougall.
He told too many disagrees ble truths con-
cerning them set ..stip° < e negotia-
tions in Enghitiv b iiiiintrahat they in-
fluenced the priests against him, and that
the priests incited the half-breeds to insur-
rection,

relied upon as favorable to Canada should
their services be required. Many of the.
Indians have medals presented to them by
Great Britain, and these they value beyond
estimation. It would be impossible to pur-
chase one of them for a gallon of the best
rum, and. that , irk the greatest temptation
an Indian can be offered. - -

Black and Gardner are in the Settlement.
Mr. Gardner said that he always though
thatthere were some fighting men in the
place, but pow he c oulslaio itqarstand the
turn affairs = hacl talon: ` Airtdis time
that volunteers were called for, Mr. Gat d-
ner tells a story of three great stalwart men
who took their horses -anti made- for the
bush, where they concealed themselves
until they th gught the danger was over.
THE TRANSPORT OF TROOPS
from Canada`s the Settlement could easily
be accomplishd in the spring. is only a
twenty-one lbs' march from Foft'.William
to Fort Garr'`i'and there would belno diffi-
culty in sendin `-a couple of re ` vents on
the opening fifnavigation. It *snot like-
ly that the people would ;fight a nst troops
if they werekaent up in the stating. The
troops oncein this country would make
short work oil pit. The " Fortsy'!ht are so
often spokent,,about, amount to'Wing, as
a well dreeted v' shot from a si:>;pounder
would demoliob• any one of them •' The re-
bels have seine 50 or 60 breech -loaders
but all the either arms they ` have are old
flint and peroiion locks. Some deserters
from the American army have recently
taught the half -Breeds bow to fire off the
big guns. The half-breeds are afraid of an
Indian war, and as the India4s,are to a
man with the Canadian Govet t4ment, it is
not likely they will risk the cgt4aequences
of opposln ` ,ny force sent frow Canada.

TYAVELLI tci STONES. -They have walk-
ing stonestliet Australia, and, as we are in-
formed, they'ave travelling stone$,in Ne-
vada. Heim' -is a description :--"whey are
almost round; and a -majority -ofethem as
Iarge as a walnut, and of an irony nature.
When - distributed about upon` `the floor,
table or any, other level surfei within -
two or threefeet of each othee'' they im-
mediately begin travelling tow'iml a com-
mon centre, and then huddle up inn a bunch
like a lotjof eggs in a -nest. A single stone
removed to a distance of three and a half
feet, upon being released, at once started off
with wonderful; and somewhat comical
celerity to join its fellows ; taken a way
four or five fet it remained motionless.
They are found in a region that, although
comparatively ,level, is nothing ;'bait` barren
rock. Scattered, over thel barren . regions
are little- basins, from a fe4v feet to 9. rod in
diameter, and it is in the bottoni -.of these
that these rolling stones ai'e form '. They
are from the size of a pea to 'five or six
inches in diameter. The cau t of these
stones rolling together is doubtless to be
found in the material of which tlrey ale
composed, w)1nch' appea r to be l oatl stone or
magnetic iron ore.
-THE ARK or THE COVENANT. -A new -
paper correspondent says : In connection
with the exploration now going on in Pal-
estine, I wonder ' whether it -has occurred
to those who are so much interested in the
•
matter, that there is a Jewish tradition
that, at the time of the captivity, Jeremiah
concealed the Ark of the Covenant in a se-'
cret chamber underneath the tet 1ple. Noth-
ing seems More probable. There i4 no
mention of the;ark, which was overiaid with
gold, having been carried with the rest 'of
the sacred:v; s els and utensils Co Babylon ;
or 'taiying been brought back from, thence.
Infect nothing. is known of it, except by
tradition. Probably the matterc:is known
to the explorer's, though I have riot 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 ha -'e thought that some of =our
readers might know something more about r.
it than I do.
