After the first few weeks Maine would be as much a battle-ground as any part of this province. [From the Montreal Gazette.] The Times calls upon the people of Canada in be prepared to defend Montreal till the spring. They will do so. Old England may depend on that. Ere this reaches her shore, well-nigh 10.000 men will be under arms in this city alone. Pierer wee there a more united sentiment among men of different languages and creeds. But for the Times' and Daily News' silly clamor against sending out troops and arms, we should have been better able to do it. The New York World, after urging the necessity of preparing for the defence of the sea coast and northern frontier, says : g , We 000 afford, at this time, to put a volun tary affront on England but we can award, at all times, to firmly assert our own national dignity, and calmly face the consequences." They cannot afford to put a voluntary affront on Inland, but they have done so, and must prepare for the consequences And so must we. The World does not exaggerate the powerof the North ern States to harm us; but 200,000 troops have failed to advance twenty miles late l inlaid. They cannot take Canada If we forthwith raise the necessary 100,000 to meet them. And we will do it. [For The Press.] The following is a translation of an article in a Paris newspaper, La Pressc, for November the 16th "Slime Ha &did° Las Leen pled Wass Europa, the Southern oligarchy of the United States has as sumed all furies, and held every kind of speech to secure to itself the favor of the tribunal o; public opinion, which will exorcise, it understands, a dcci sive influence upon the issue of the great conflict which it has aroused. At first, inflexible and proud, it did not understand being questioned, and. bear ing its flag aloft, it announced to the world that slavery was a hoiyi _imitation, which, at length, was about to become the fundamental and respected basis of a whole social system. Gradually, this arrogant pride was lowered ; Europe did not fall -upon its wares before the sovereigntyof Eta& C.t ton, and it viewed with more astonishment than anger the aberration of an aristocracy which had lived outside of the movement of its age, and had just presented the sad spectacle of the wanderings into which human personality can fall when it no longer has for a counterpoise the feeling of justice and the respect fur right. " le-day the defenders of the Southern oligar chy present entirely new versions of the con duct of their patrons. Slavery is no longer in question; according to their account, the lords of the lash in the South have a greater sympathy far the negra, and earn more for his welfare, than the philanthropists of the .North, who say so much on his behalf, and if the oligarchy is dragging the South into a policy of separation, it is because great pecuniary and moral interests are found involved in it ; to prove it these Lind advocates accumulate arguments of facts and statistics which have only one fault, that of not being correct. "We reserve to ourselves the removal at our leisure of all the material errors contained in the defences presented on behalf of the Southern oli garchy; but at present we wish to come to the as sistance of its auxiliaries, and to make them speak quite loud what they are thinking quite low. " The reason for their zeal is not in the motives which they present; they know very well that slavery is an odious institution which must disap pear, and that the South has only to lose by its separation from the North, European commerce itself will be completely stopped as long as the state of actual war lasts ; that is to say, as long as the Union shall not be re-established ; but there is a great fact which troubles them ' which they hope to - dertroy, end against which all their efforts are brought to bear. They advocate the separation of the States because they know that it would be the death of the Republic, and that, in the hour when this young Colossus would cease to form a whole, its succession would be open, and its magnificent patrimony would serve for the formation of two or more monarchies. " The oligarchy of the South has already ex plained itself upon the subject. In MO, at the time of the Presidential campaign, which ended in the election of Mr. Buchanan. it announced that it would leave the Union if the Republican candidate, Colonel Fremont, should he chosen. Its netespa. pers, especially the Charleston Mercury and the Richmond Enquirer, discussed this eventuality, and arrived at the conclusion that, in case Colonel Fremont should be elected, the Cotton States ought to constitute themselves a monarchy, and to offer the crown to the Duke of Cambridge. This idea, abandoned by the oligarchy after Mr. _Daehanan's election, bee been taken up again by the Mae parties in 1861. Mr. Russell being in Charleston in the month of May last, then wrote to the Times: 'I have visited a great number of planters. I have conversed with them freely and thoroughly. I have everywhere met with the same desire, that of ha- Ting a prince of the royal family of England to govern them.' This wish of certain planters of South Caro. line. too much'- generalised by Mr. Russell, and which the real people of SouthiCarolina, the little whites (les petite blancs), or eke white trash., as they call them, would not ratify, has aroused in the Northern States legitimate suspicions which the rumors arriving from Europe have again in creased. Mr. Holt. a very important political per sonage, alluded to these rumors when, in a speech delivered at Louisville in the month of May last, he thus expressed himself Mr. Foetid, that great French statesman. con versing some weeks ago With_ an tlnicricAA Citliell, said to him, 'Your Republic is dead, and it is probably the last which the world will see. You are about to have a reign of terror, and then two or three monarchies.' ti We do not know whether Mr. Fould expressed the opinion which is ascribed to him, but very evi dently it is that of those who make 'themselves the champions of the dissolving and selfish policy of the Southern oligarchy. Thus, the North has un derstood the danger which threatens its institu tions ; it looks with mistrust at every act of inter vention on the part of Europe in the affairs of the new continent. and, also, remembering the truth of the adage, ." If you wish for peace, prepare for war,' it has warmly applauded the recommenda tions which Mr. Seward has addressed to the Go vernors of the States washed by the sea and the lakes. to fortify their ports and to put them in a state of good defence. "No offence to its enemies, the great republic of the United States will not. yet perish. People will think twice, we hope, before attacking it. We are no longer in the time when the partition of Roland was accomplished. Oligarchies may agitate a coun try fora moment—they can no longer sell it or de stroy it irreparably. At present peoples belong to themselves; men govern them only on condition of listening to the interests, and laboring for them, that is to say, on condition of carrying out the prin ciples of democracy A war with America, what ever mi g ht he the peat eat for it, would be dleaeteatte to all those who should take part in it. During a long time it would be the entire destruction of all inter national commerce with that country, and America would And even in the reverses which would pro bably accompany her first conflicts a new stimulus, which would make her energetically seek for and make fertile the immense resources which she pos sesses. By compelling her to know herself better and to use her strength better they would aggran dize America instead of weakening her. "JULES JIREF2' The Postponement of the Homestead MIL In the House of Representatives, on the 18th instant, when the question of postponing the home stead bill was under consideration, Hon. Wm. D. of this city, said The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Potter) con cluded with the remark that this vote would show who were the true Emends of the homestead bilt. do not agree with him in that remark, for I Atoll vote for the postponement, and I am fully com mitted to the homestead policy in heart and mind. I am pledged to support it, and every constituent I have who has ever heard me on the stump, or dis cussed the question of a land policy in private with me, knows it; but I am not prepared, in the face of endangered public credit and in the peculiar ex igencies of the country, to hurry through a bill with unbecoming baste, appropriating our immense pub lic domain. The great question of the day, as the gentleman from New York (Mr. Roscoe Conkling] has said, is the financial question. Impair the public credit, and you impair the energy of your army and your navy. Why, says one of the gentlemen ; we have put this policy in our platform, and have pledged ourselves to the people over and over again to give them the measure. sir, I tell you one thing we did not put in our platform, and that was the speedy suppression of this rebellion. We did not put it in because we did not dream that the rebellion would occur; and in the fact that we need all the re- Mines of the oottritry to put down that rebellion, wo have a sufficient excuse to present to the pa triotic people of the country for postponing a mea sure that may—l say that rimy—affect the public credit. Some gentlemen may doubt whether it will; Lut if it be possible that it may affeet it. our duty is to pause. There is another reason, connected with the exi gencies of the country, why I am opposed to the speedy passage of this hill. Pennsylvania has one hundred thousand of her hardy men In the field and I want this law to go into effect when they sball have an equal chance with the drones at home to select homesteads for themselves and their chil dren. The answer to that may be, Well, this war is not going to last forever, but there will be time enough hereafter." Mr. POTTER. I wish to say to my friend that the Committee on Public, Lands—most certainly its chairman —have no objection that Pennsylvania shall have a fair chance. Mr. KELLEY. I am willing to say that every man who has gone into the field, whether from Penneylvani or eLlOirhere, bold Lava an equal chance; but I do not see, while the chief business of the army seems to be to construct sheds for win ter quarters, that they have any promise of even a remote chance of selection when they shall have served their term of service and closed the war. If we could have an order, in the spirit of a letter, a copy of which I hold in my hand, we might pass this bill, in order that our armymight next spring select their homes. But we are waiting to get six hundred %bound men in order to fight. I nek that the louse will hear the letter, to show what used to be military communication-1; and if they will guarantee that I shall hear an order to our army in the spirit of that letter, I am ready to pass the homestead bill, even though it miiiht slightly affect the public credit.

Court Illartial in the Case of Col. James E. Kerrigan, Twenty-fifth Regiment, N. Y. Volunteers. WISHE,TOTON, Dec.l9, 1861, The court martial reassembled this m 'ruing, pursuant to adjournment on Tuesday last. The accused was pre sent with his counsel, Judge Edmund L. Hearne. After reeding over the proeecat..., or vosterd.y, the ease or Colonel Holstead was continued, and Colonel Kerrigan dismissed for the present. Oliver Holstead, Jr., sworn—l made out the account for My, at the veiniest of Cu!. Roktiad, sometime early in November; 1 put the credit for forage on his account at his request—after handing it to him—he instructing me that that deduction was to be made; I showed the account to Major Newell • he said he could not examine it at that time, nor could ' he pay the colonel, as ho had not yet been put in funds—that I must call again t I stated to him that this was merely a guide or direction, by which he should make out the account; I called on 'Major Newell the second time, but cannot so. I had the account with lilt; filligee2i9U is that I returned the account to the colonel, and until yesterday, I have no recollection of seeing the paper; I informed the colonel that I showed the paper to the major. By tie Court. How long after this paper was present ed was the colonel paid I A, I can't say exactly when lie wan paid; think it was about the first of November. The tcetimouy for thedefence hero closed, and the accused antimitted his ar gument, contending that he had signed the cenificate dispute, without proper exandnation, and that while the facts contained in the charges preferred against him were substantially trui, he most solemnly denied any intention to defraud the Government. iz e trusted that the time would speedily come when the foul movers of the conspi racy brought against him would be exposed and punished for their attempt to injure and dishonor an officer who had left the comforts of home and friends, and abaudoned a lucrative profession, for the hardships of a winter cam paign, and from a sincere desire to serve his country in this dark hour of its peril. Colonei Holstead was much affected during the dellveir of Ida brief ;tegument. Ile was formerly a member of Congress from the State of New Jersey, and untilreeently occupied a prominent po sition as a member of the bar. The decision of the court was reserved for the present, and the case of Colonel Kerrimln was resumed: non, Reverdy Johnson was in attendance. The Judge Advocate stated that an important witness for the prosecution on the first set of charges had been summoned, but not heard from. In his absence there. fore, it ins determined to proceed with the additional charges. The court was reconvened and sworn accord. ing to form. The additional charges, as will be remem bered, are— Charge 7th. Shameful abandonment of his post. Charee fith_ Withdrawing the pickets without orders. Charge 9th. Communicating with the enemy.
