To APRIt, 24, 1885. men accustomed to good living and plenty of food -whenever they -felt like taking it, this sudden change to short and unusual rations was a pretty. sharp One. Howeyer, we got two good square meals at Winnipeg ancl I can tell you that to appreciate a Meal of this kind you want to go without, for a while. The cars on which we travelled from Port Arthur here were toe' closely crowded for comfort, but we had to live and sleep in them as best we could, and I daresay we will be more uncomfortable i yet before we are through with this I business. The -most disagreeable part 1 of the journey, se far, has been the all- night ride on the flat cars and the 20 or 22- miles march the following day over the ice. We reached the Qu'Appelle this morning, and are new partly in• barracks in the immigrantesheds, and partly encamped in tents outside. Nos. one and two corps are in the sheds, Nos. 3 and 4 are intents. Here we found B battery in waiting, A battery being at Touchwood Hills, some little distance away. The 90th (Winnipeg) battalion is at Fort Qii'Appelle, about 20milesfrom here. It is hard to say what may be clOrle with us, but the gen- eral impression seen's to be that we will ft -embark on the train and proceed to Swift Current, and thence take the boat for Prince Albert or wherever the seat of thetrouble may. be. Swift Current is about 150 miles further on from here, so that we are not nearly at the' front yet.- The only suspicious looking char- acters I have noticed so far have been two Indians and a couple of squaws here at Qu'Appelle, and more miserable objects surety never met the gaze of man. If these are the creatures we are to fight againgt the warfare will be scarcely human. The Grenadiers are' , some distance behind us, I don't know how far, .and the Montreal troops are behind them again.. The Grenadiers were delayed considerably on the route for want of sleighs. The country through which the Canada Pacific rail- way runs north of Lake Superior, is surely one of the mostthescaate and k - r, hospitable at the sun shines on. • Hundreds of miles of rock succeed to hundreds of miles, and through there the railway track is blasted and hewn at what must have been an enormous expense. Where there is not so Much rock the land appears to be so miserable. that nothing but scrub pine and tamar- ack will grow upon it. I would not give much for a 10,000 acre farm along the line of the Canada Pacific railway north of Lake Superior. The prairie round Quaappelle seems to be more rolling than that 'just west of Winnipeg, which is comparatively flat. I like the Look' of the country here and the soil seems black and alluvial. It is frozen hard as yet with a• thin coating of dry prairie grass above it. There is no tellhow long we may be kept in this country -omit some say there is a likeli- hood of' our being here'- most of the summer, which I most sincerely hope is not the case. Notwithstanding all thei warlike preparations, however,.I do not think there will be much actual fighting. The reason for which we, are being pushed on to the front is in order to overawe and frighten the rebels. . I do not think this will require much fighting as they will probably submit to the inevitable when they see they must do so. What I_ fear is that we may be ordered to stay here most of the suni- men, or until, at all events, quiet has been taornughly. restored. I shall try to keep you posted as to how things go from time to time. So far, I can say, I enjoyed the trip. r , -G.. The Northwest Rebellion. ' In the House of Commons on Wed- nesday Sir John Macdonald made nn announcement respecting Fort Pittt Be 'said: "I beg to state that there is too much reason to believe that the rumors of the disaster at Fort Pitt are true, but they. are not fully confirmed. They , come from Battleford. They are vague in their nature, and therefore I do not think it will be well, from con- sideration ef the feelings -of those who are interested in the various people wao are there, to speak niore specifically, because all the reports are rumors ag yet. But they have conte from various sources and therefore we must believe that a calamity has occurred, but to what extent I am not able to form an, opinion. !The moment I yeceive ferthet inforntafion it will be laid before the House." - eROM COL. OTTER. The latest dispatch from Col. Otter, who with the Queen's Own Rifles and - other troops, left Swift Current a week ago- for the relief of Battleford, is dated Wednesday and is as follows : We are now on the trail to Battleford, 65 -miles north of the Saskatchewan Crossing,and have just halted for noon rations. The . column advaneing steadily, and all con- ,tinues well. As we near the Eagle Hills vigilance is increased though there is .not the slightest appearance of hostili- ties. If the fotage holdSout we should relieve Battleford by the 28th inst. The impression in camp is that the march will be unobstructed, but of course that is only an. impression. The country supposed to be occupied by the enemy should be reached on Saturday. The trail improves as we advance. • FOM COLONEL MIDItLETON. Colonel Middleton and his forces are still at Clark's crossing where they have been for about a Week awaiting the receipt of supplies befoiT marching on to Week the enemy. The forward march was tosha,ve been yaade yesterday and it is likely before the close of the etveek it will be kpowii whether Mon - sem. Reil will run or fight The latest despatch from Clarke's crossipg 'dated april 22nd, says : A reconnoiasance of scouts and a few of Boalton's troops un- der Lord Melgund chased two tebels on the west bank of the - river for fifteen miles to -day-, but did net capture them. They came upon a small party of rebels who fired. The scouta replied, but no one was hurt on either 'side., The rebels .took to the woods, and the scouts fear -- leg an ambush did not follow owing to the sinallnese of the force. FROM BATTLEFORD.. A despatch from Battleford dated April 22nd says : Five Mounted Police- men have arrived to -day from Fort Pitt. They report that in the attack by the Indians one policeman , was killed and one wounded. All the rest of the people have taken refuge in the caiiip of friend- ly Indians.
