Roffief for Suffering Freedmen.
Very distressing accounts have recently
been sent from the neighborhood of York
town, Virginia, of the dispossession of the
freed people from their lands. After the
Northern occupation of Yorktown, crowds
of colored people, hungering for freedom,
came within our lines and were assigned
lands to cultivate for their own support,
Flourishing villages and thriftly cultivated
farms sprang up. These people believed
the land their own, and after nearly three
years of possession bitterly resent the breach
of faith'which returns it with all their im
provements, their cabins and gardens. to
their rebel masters and turns them out, in
mid winter to starve and die. To the
former slave two ideas are
necessarily connected with his
conception of freedom—the right to 'educa
tion, and the right of ownership. When
these lands were assigned to them, the be
lief that they • their own became the
stimulus to earnest exertion. An anecdote,
related by a teacher who has been much
among them, will best illustrate their feel
ing on this point. She says—"l visited the
cabin of Aunt Lyddy, a hopeless cripple
irem rheumatism, and found her little gar
dtn blooming like a rose. She had trans
planted blackberry bushes from the wilds
and made a hedge; she had roses blooming
and sweetbriar, besides potatoes, garden
vegetables and "garbs." I said, 'Aunt
Lyddy, how do you manage to do
all this and you so lame and suffer
hoe' She answered, 'De Lord helps
me, Missus, and when I 'gins to faint,
I sea, Liddy, dis your garden, and
dat gins me heart to strike de spade deep-
And when my arm grows tired, I keep say
ing, Lyddy, die your own garden, and dat
makes de spade go deeper and deeper.' To
day poor Aunt Lyddy, with thousands of
others, learns that her dream of ownership
was a delusion, and the pretty garden fills
to the possession of one who has dyed his
hands in loyal blood, while old Aunt Lyddy
becomes an outcast and a wanderer."
The Women's Freedmen's Relief Associa
tion, who work especially for the freed
people, are straining every nerve to meet
the great tide of suffering and sorrow, that
this authorized injustice is daily causing.
They appeal through our columns for sup
port; We hope •our philanthropic public
will hold up their hands in so noble a work
of charity. -
CRARrEs H. HART, Esq., of this city,
corresponding secretary of "The Numis
matic and Antiquarian Society of Phila
delphia," is preparing a "Bibliographia
Lincolniana," to comprise the complete
title, viz: every word which appears on
the title page, verbatim et literatini et puitc
tatim, the size, the number of pages, the
text and the number of copies printed, of
every sermon, eulogy, address; etc., etc.,
occasioned by the death of President Lin
coln. It is to be appended to the "Life of
Lincoln" by Hon. William . ' H. Henadon,
and •Mr. Hart is very desirous of having his
work complete and perfect, and would feel
indebted to authors and others knowing :of
anything they might deem ofinterest in the
above line to communicate with him. He
would particularly ask the attention
: of
State and city governments that have pub
lished anything on this subject to his work.
Papers, by copying this notice, will confer a
great favor on Mr. Hart.
RisToßl,—The sale of subscAption seats
for the engagement of Mme. Ristori, at the

ATLANTIC CrrY.—On the evening of the
27th inst., the new Council of Atlantic City
was organized, and the other municipal
officers were duly qualified and entered
upon the discharge - of their duties.—On
Thanksgiving day appropriate ceremonies
were had at the M. E. Church, the new
Mayor presiding, and an eloquent discotirse
was delivered by Dr. Tliomas K. Reed.—
Work has been suspended on the new turn
pike+ connecting the city with the main
land at Pleasantville, for want of funds. As
this road will, when completed,
_be of great
advantage, <the friends of the enterprlee
should take measures to finish it at once.
—Building is remarkably active, and the
structures going up are of first-class charac
ter. More than fifty carpenters have got
work for the winter in that city, and more
will be needed before winter closes, in order
to com plate the improvements contemplated
by the time the season next year opens.—:—
The Union 'League Of Atlantic City have
made arrangements to give a grand supper
on Monday evening next, in honor of their
complete victory at the late election.
"Is understood that
another large . factory is about to be erected
by, the Camden Woolen litUlb3 Manufactur
ing Company, in close proximity to their
present one, on State street. These manu
facturing establishments exert a greater in
fluence in the building up of Camden than
any other single agency.
THANKSGIVING.—Yestezday, in. Camden,
was appropriately observed tin all the
churches as a day of thanksgiving. In each
cnurch a large attendance was present, and
the discourses were able and interesting.
As a general thing business was suspended,
and everything appeared as quiet as a Sab
bath day.
A NEW POST OFFICE hes been establit'3l2ed
at Merchantsville, Camden county, and
Charles W. Stern appointed postmaster.
This postal advantage has been secured
through, the personal influence and exer
tions of Senator elatell.
To BE REBUILT.—The- Saighn's Point
Foundry, which'was recently destroyed by
fire, is soon to - be rebuilt,. arrangementshaving becg conameneed for that purpose,

THE PRISONERS AT TORONTO
Exci' eraent at Mon.treal
[porreepondance of the N. Y. Herald.]
Tonnwrci, Nov. 29.—As it - was generally
expected that judgment would be delivered
in the Court of Queen's Bench or Common
Pleas on the, application of Mr. McKensie,
on behalf of the Fenian prisoners - for a new
trial,a large number of people attended, and
at time the- court opened scarcely a seat
could be obtained. They anxiously waited
until near two o'clock, when it was inti
mated that tbe judges would give no deci
sion, thoSe,in the Queen's Bench differing
in tot* with - the opinion of their brethren in
the Common Pleas. • • ,
At Osgood Hall it is said that the judg
ment in the Common Pleas will be adverse
to the applicants, while, in the Queen's
Bench, Judges Efagarty and Morrison are
of the opinion that the grounds urged jus
tify them in granting the rule. Only two
days new remain for them to: express their
views. If adverse to law they may possibly
satisfy public opinion; but it is doubtfal
whether it will prove of ultimate benotlt.
'As regards the Rev. Mr. M.cMabon's case,
it would amount , to nothing short of
murder if liaeyi carry out the, ,sen
tence. The evidence against him was
of a nature which would convict no
man in a free country, and it is much to be
deplored that religions and party motives
have so - much to do with influencing a jury.
It is but just to add that Messrs. Morphy
and Meßensie have been unceasing in their
efforts to do all in their power - on behalf of
their unfortunate clients. Not a atone has
been left unturned; and if their discharge
depends upon legal acumen, better men
could not be found. To my own knowledge
McXensie has not beenin bed for two nights
—devoting the entire time to earthing au
thorities for his clients' defence.
MONTREAL, Nov. 29, 1866.—The dspatches
to the Herald by the Atlantic cable, an
nouncing the outbreak in Ireland, is the
only topic of conversation in the province,
The Canadian government are willing to
discharge the Fenian prisoners * confined
here, if the United States government will
guarantee that Roberts shall not attempt to
make another raid on the province.
The Fenian prisoners are to be removed
on Sunday morning at three o'clock, under
a strong guard. Their removal at so early
an hour is done in order to prevent any at
tempts of their Mends in getting up a riot
between the ditizens smiths military. At
Sweetsburg it is impossible to secure lodg
ings, as all the hotels are crowded with
strangers from the United States, who have
come to witness the trials.
The sixty witnesses for the Crown arrived
to-day and were ordered to 13 weetsbarg.
The Hon. B. Devlin, Queen's counsel, in
tends to make an applicationon the . . • . .g
of the court to have the prisoners d : ed
on the grounds of some informality in • e
indictments.
About four thousand stand of rifles, simi
lar to to those captured at Fort Erie from
O'Nejl last June, have been brought into
this city by a person who states that he
purchased them in New York and brought
them here as a commercial speculation.
They have been offered for sale, but at such
a high figure that it is rumored the govern
ment intends to inquire into the matter.
The work of housing the gunboats laid up
in the province will be completed this week.
The following will be the distribution of the
boats for the winter: The Heron at Toronto,
the Cherub and Prince Alfred at Goderich,
the Britomart and Rescue at Dunnville, the
Hercules and Royal at Kingston. The
crews are to be formed into a marine bri
gade. At a meeting of the Executive Coun
cil yesterday they decided that some of these
boats should have been 'kept ready for ser
vice during the winter.
The time of a large number of the regulars
now stationed in the Province expires
(luring the coming, month. The govern
ment has ordered that the men be detained
until the country is in a more settled con
dition.
Sixteen pieces of artillery and a large
quantity of amniunition was forwarded to
day to St. Catharine.
The members of the Canadian Cabinet in
England to arrange the details of confede
ration don't agree, and it is likely they will
return without accomplishing their mis
.
Edon,
Governor General Monck is to be recalled
immediately for permitting Lamirande to
be delivered to the French authorities with
out consulting the home government.
MoNTREAL, C. E., Nov. 28, 1866.—This
morning an excited crowd gathered about
the Post Office corner, Great St. James and
St. Francis XaVier streets, on receipt of the
news from Ireland. and the general opinion
was that Canada would now have to look
out for trouble with the United States, as
the British Government will not pay the
claims for the Alabama damages; and it is
now thought that the late telegram to the
Governor General was to warn him of the
coming danger. The hope is expressed
among the English party that France may
be involved at the same time in a war with
the United States. It is not very long an
that the French Government intimated a
readiness to assist in the defence of Canada
in the event of a war with the United States,
if the British naval forces _would co-operate
in the Gulf of Mexico with the'French force,
with the object of defeating any attempt
upon Mexico by the United States.
An effort will now be made to revive the
I old entente cordiale of 1854-56, that the two
old . nations may fight as one against the
young giant of the New World.
Major-General Stisted is to come out here
to replace General Lindsay. Thesetwo offi
cers are "six of one and half a dozen of the
other" in their military merits.
There is no officer In Canada fit to com
mand 20,000 men operatingagainst a United
States force., •
+lt is only an Englishman who could con
ceive that the 12,000 men now in Canada
would'make anything like a defence of the
province.
_ As to France sending troops to Canada, the
English would be too Jealous of it; for they
(the French) might do as at Rome—that is,
ocenny Canada, in, the east of which they
would be received with , open arms and en
wuraged to stay. In such a case the acqui
sition of; Canada would '.be 'a goad set-off
against the loss of Mexico: Indeed, a: lead
ing man in Canada has advised that Lower
Canada be given - to the French, and Upper.
Canada to the Americans, that there mint
be perpetual -war between the two peop, e
over the Ottawa river.

Great Floods and Loss of Life in Faiglaild.
A great flood, caused` by two 'days' inCes
' sant rain_, took place in Yorkshire and Lai
cashire Englend,--a—fartnight ago. -. The
Leeds /ffercury says:„ '
' It is long since Leeds presented Scenes so
singular as those which were to be witnessed
yesterday in the streets adjoining the river
and the becks flowing through the town.
The appearanceof the streeta adjoining the
river last night was very remarkable. 4d
venturous passengers seeking to advance
along them were constantly istoppeti by po
licemen carrying flaming torches, from
whom they received an intimation that
their firther
.progress was' arrested by the
water. Then, when • they peered out into
the darkness beyond they saw broad sheets
of water. smooth and black, in place of the
uneven pavement. Occasionally, a resident
in the neighborhood might be seen seeking
his home, wading. barefooted,' through the
flood until he reached his' door. At the.
junction of Hunslet Lane and Meadow
Lane, the water was about two feet deep,
and was therefore impassable to foot p:as
sengers. But as that was the principal ap
prc nth to Hunslet, the traffic could not be
entirely stopped on account of the flood,alid
a system of ferries was consequently es
tablished, the ferries consisting of carts and
omnibuses, which plied to and fro across
Leeds Bridge and through the' lake
which lay beyond. It was a singular
Eight to see the crowd ofworking men ,hang
lug about the bridge and waiting for their
turn to cross to' their homes in this novel
'manner, and equally singular was it.to See
the carts and wagons entering the sheet of
water, the legs of the horses churning , it
into foam as they passed onward, and the '
vehicles leaving a brOad track in their
wake, not unlike that left by a steamer. An
accident of a serious nature occurred at
one of the buildings erected by the side of
the dam. A large chimney connected with
tbe corn mill occupied by the executors of the
late Mr. Edward Hudson, soddenly fell.
The cope stone, a huge piece of masonry,
was projected across the dam, and striking
the roof of one of the buildings in School
close, completely demolished it. The build
ing was at the time occupied by the wife
and son of Mr. Thompson, one of the con
tractors for the new railway works. They
were both buried in the ruins of the house,
and when rescued were conveyed to the In
firmary. The son's injuries were found to
be of a very slight nature, but Mrs. Thomp
son was suffering from a fracture of the
right arm and from concussion of the
brain. She is, however, expected to
recover. At Wakefield several persons
were drowned. In the Wigan district scores
of acres were submerged, and along the
banks of the river for miles, and more parti
cularly in the precincts of the town , mills,
factories, shops, foundries and other' build
irgs, including dwellings, were flooded, and
although the damage has not been con
siderable, the alarm created is great. It was
found prudent to call out the colliers in one
of the chief pits of the Ince-hall Coal and
Cannel Company, to guard against any
irruption of water into the workings. Nine
teen years ago this mouth aJrire catastrophe
was caused by the breaking in of the river',
to some of these workings.

having a good time of it on the bridge
leading from that place' to l'rankfOrd,
when Dollard requested the colored boy to
dance. Taylor declined on account , of
frosted feet. -Dollard was not to be:put off
in that way. He accordingly , pinned 'a
,paper to the jacket of Taylor and set it
on fire, intending, no doubt, to accele
rate his locomotion, after the manner of
placing alighted'coal on the back of a tur
tle: Taylor objected to, this fiery proceeding,
and called upon the bystanders for protec
tion.'- No one heeding him, he ran towards
hislOme,'and was met by Mr. and Mrs.
Rogan, with whom he wasliving. Repair
ing to the scene_of conflict, the,boy, Taylor,
arming himself with A pistol, fired at the
crowd. A running fight was now keptup

uninjured. Not Jso with Mrs. Hogan, for
Dollard planted a well directed blow on the
face of Mrs. Hogan, closing up one of her
eyes, felling her to the ground. Dollard and
his friends then kicked her in a shameful
manner. The parties were arrested and
