theflouthern part of the colony might feel the
effect of a slight drawback, but that'could not
possibly be helped, for what was good for the
goose was invariably considered good for the
gaMer. The general welfare was the main
object to be considered.
The Victoria Shanghai moved an amend-
me.nt that the words "on the' day of" be
struck out, and .that .the: words " six months
after the day of" union be iriserted.
yThe Cariboo Rooster hopped up in support
of the resolution as it, read.,. He, said, the
question of tariff was a veryimporfcont one,
and any delay on the part of tbe people of
BritiBh Columbia in holding on to the existing
order of things, even for one day after Confederation, would be a political weakness.
and. would also be the cause of a great deal
of political controversy.   He remarked that
on British Columbia joiningCanada'ahe would
go in on equality with other provinces in the
Dominion.
The amendment was put and lost, all the
Roosters constituting the Vancouver delegation voting in the affirmative.
Theresolution was then put and canned.
The Kootenay Cock-a-dobdle then moved
that the resolution be made unanimous ���
Carried^ without a dissentient voice.
After a vote of tb ante to Cocli-of-the-Walk,
Convention adjourned���three crow3 and three

ROOSTER CONVENTION.
Ayi".LTTToVi August 14,1870.
British Ooiumbia Roosters in Convention,
^assembled at the Turkey cock TayemV tytton;.
"Uth Aiigusi,.A.p: 1.870.'���" >V
At G p.m., Cock'Of-the-Wallc".wft called;to
1 thechalr, Ilooster Boboyappointed Secretary,
und Jemmy the half-breed Master-at^rnis.*-
Thefhairraah, Ina "very ^*%ti^tdisbourie��
explained the;caufee for whichfrtie Convention
1 wascalledf The question of tariff was-a very
'   important one to the������Roosters,' and particularly to all the old Hens of British Columbia.
. lie dwelt at some jength on the sound policy
of Hiuoks' tariff and the domestic blessings
poultry in general would receive from'there-
dnced duty on chickeu-fced and the free importation oi eggs as per list.
The Kootenay Cock-a-doodle moved that a
committee on credentials be appointed by the
chair.  Committee appointed accordingly*
After one hour's adjournment, committee
. reported progress as follows :  The Rooster
representing Omineca not eligible, being an
alien from Alaska,   Report adopted as read.
The Lytton Irish Chicken-Cock moved the
first resolution: .
Resolved.���That it is the 'opinion of this
Convention that the abolition of the existing
tariff of British Columbia and the adoption of
. the Dominion tariff ail over the colony on the
day of the consummation of union be estab-
* lished, such a change being intimately connected with the welfare and prosperity of
British Columbia and the future progress-of
domestic fowls.
The.IrishCock,insupfortofthereac)lntion,
said that eggs were exempt from duty, and
that-was everything for the roosters |j-said,.
that perhaps a few Ghick;ens and old hens in
......i" telegrams state" that the Vaptnre of
Saarbrucken by the-French was an important
success owing to  the strategic  position ob-
:ttcited.::.Amsterdam dispatches,1 on the contrary, say that Is without military.; value. .
Hard-fighting took place at-\��eissenburg.
and the P russi a as, gained a decisive v icto ry.
A Portugal has .proclaimed neutrality'and the
Hungariaalegislature has decided in favor of
neutrality;;; 'X.uy.
Unofficial reports state that the Freuch took
Saarlouis after a "great battle.
���   Sweden and Norway��� have decided for neutrality. '.  '...';'"' ZZ
���A Paris-telegram.says that 100,000 Italian
soldiers would soon be fighting on the French
side. ��� -���;. ; y'yxy...... . ���   k'.( .;.
Dispatches from Napoleon say that comriju-
nicatioh [ w i tii ficMali on had . ��� b een ��� cu toff.
ifcMahon's loss was great, but his retreat was
effected jn*'g6od order.   :. Z .y y
Dispatches from the Crown Prince of Prussia state that McMahon was .defeated in a
battle fought near Worth.  - ,- ���;���.
;';English, dispatches state that the contest
between the Crown Prince of'Prussia and
Marshal McMahon was only the beginning of
a great struggle which ended in favor of the
French.
Later despatches via Berlin than the above
state that the French Emperor had withdrawn
his entire force, which he was concentrating
for the defence of Paris. The Prussians overtook the French at a position west of Weissen-
burg,-from which the latter were driven at
the point of the bayonet.
The Prussian King reported haviug captured 4,000 prisoners, 30 guns and six revolving cannon.
After this victory thc Prussians crossed into
France for an advance on Paris. Another
groat battle was expected.
The prisoners taken by the Crown Prince
and Gen. Goelzer number 8000.
McMahon reports his headquarters at Sa-
verne, and that his corps suffered less than
reported.
The whole French army was driven back
and. is supposed to have taken position between Mete and Nancy.

Cut; no wheats or very little���������  not enough for chicken-feed���������was grown, and  the spirited mill owners have be^ri ciamoriri"-  for. two years for a/reductionof the duty ou  wheat.   Now, if the disadvantageoris condition' o f tb e fanners, i u tb e I o wer co un try is  such that they cannot compete against foreign  p rod n cers, an d I hat was 'Aim main a rgn men t  for their protection, ifc would be absurd to  demand the present tariff to be con tinned under Confederation, when it has bren shown  that'll does not prodiicO^lltl^fesired effect.  A - u n i fo rm. ta riff is one of Tbie$M*&ij ia 1 f e a-  tures of a federal .iinioh;; arid must ;jjje made  general in its application,, or every part of  ���������the union might claim.the privilege'of exceptional tariffe, and  there would be no end of  legislative squabbling.   A tariff framed:especial !y for p rotec (ion never succeeds iu establishing a permanent homo; indnsfrv, because tbe Qpurse of legislation never* runs  smooth, and capital will not venture on iri-  ,?i vesiing in industry 'which cannot without le  gislaitvo  fnvour   be  made   Belf-iupporii/ig.  The Un Red States are a notable e.vamp Ie of the  impossibilUy of making protection tlie panacea lor a healthy h.omcindusiry.   Proteclion  to one is ruin to another branch of industry;  according lo the experience of the Unil*:d  Slates.   It is not proteclion which makes tlie  United States the granary of the world; but  the cneapnessaud extent of land.   In nevvly-  Betiled counlries, however, it is advisable to  jncourage  home   industry,  and   especiallv  farming, arid  Ihh can  be and generally is  done by raising (he bulk of the government revenues from duiies on imports,   if a homo  industry does nofgrow by means of ihe advantages which a revenue tariff and nearn������*s.s  lo market give then it is evident that ihe Ibne  has not arrived when that branch of.industry  which requires au extra degree of protection  can  be saMy conimericed.   But surely this  cannot be the case  with farming in British  Columbia, where  the. prices of all kinds of  farm produce are higher than in any other  country; and plenty of good land can be obtained for a dollar an acre.   Although it may  be advisable to continue protecting the farmers of tbe lower country, for indeed it was  forthem ihe liigli dutiesy were levied. It is a  ridiculous notion that the consolidation of the  Brit ish empire should have its progress ar?"  res te don t heir h ceo u nt.

Perhaps ihe temptation has not been  so great. Two of the Cornish co.'s boxes  were, cleaned up a few days ago without tbe  permission of the foreman, Capt.

He is descended from an  ancient Irish Catholic family, who took refuge  in France with the Stuarts.   In 1855 his command assauUed and carried the Malakboff, in  which, notwithstanding the desperate assaults  and self-devotion of the" Russians, he maintained himself and virtually decided the fate  of Sevastopol.   He distingulslied; himself in  the Algerian iampaigia of 1857,', commanded  the- second Corps in - Ii^^md^on^e battle  of Magenfa, which" gave ;;hlm; his "flame, and  ijatpnas Marshal of. France., A.

In the French-Austrian war he was  at the .bead of thc Third Corps.   He was at  Magenta and Solferino.  The history of Marshal Changamier is well  ' known. Born in 1793, he graduated from St.  Cyr in 1815, and from 1823 until 1843 he was  constantly on active service, principally in  Algeria. ; He is a declared adversary of republican institutions.  Marshal Bazaine ia now 61 years of ag<\  He has the high reputation of being one of  . the bravest officers in tho French > army.   He  ,: rose from the ��������� ranks,-, and in five years from  his;enlistment gained his sub-lieutenancy and  bia cross on the field of, baltle.   He commanded the French contingent in Mexico,  after Gen. Forey, where his success was brilliant.   Bazaine, in council, advised Maximil-  "lian that empire in Mexico was impossible.  ��������� The Count de Falikao was born on the 24th  -of June, 1796. Ho wa9 employed at an early  age in Algiers, and distinguished himself there  as a cavalry officer, aud subsequently in  China.   In:18C(>, when he was given the grand  ���������/ ..cross, he could count 42 years of effective service, 28 campaigns and one wound. ���������  Y TUB PRUSSIAN GENERALS.  Amongst these may be included the King  of Prussia.. William Frederic.      .  His eldest soil, the Crown Prince, Frederic  . -William, commanded the Army of the Oder  at Sado wa.  Prince Frederic Charles is another of the  ." Prussian commanders.   He is 69 years of age  ;; and commanded the Army of the Elbe at Sa-  .   dowa.  Gen. Manteuffei entered the army when 17  years old.   He has accomplished many di-  ��������� plomatic missions, especially in Austria:.

His high-  :. est  abilities  were  not exhibited until the  ��������� breaking out H of war between Prussia and  ���������. Austria's/;.His knowledge;of technical detail  and the science of war enabled him to take  part in drawing up with Bismarck the: plan of  tbat wonderfully successful campaign, and he  ; exp ressed himself as never for. am 6 m e n t lack -  log confidence in it. He took a personal part  in the battle of Sado wa, and arranged thesu1 -  , sequent hegdtiatioris which resulted in peace.  Gen. yon / Kdon. the,. Prussian General.  statesman and miiifcary writer and minister,  born in 1803, entered the army as an officer  In 1821. He has published a number of works,  Rome of which had a great circulation. To  him was confided the direction of the military  education of Prince Frederic Charles.. He  was called on the IGth of April, 1861, to the  Mm is* ry of the Marine. His name is prominent in the history of the extensive raodifica-  , turns of Germany, accomplished to, the profit  rof Prussia by the force of her arms or the  adroitness of her diplomacy.  ��������� Ifc will be seen from the foregoing that all  the Generals are aged men, some of them foe**  ing past seventy years of age, and all having  seen sixty. As a rule, it does not seem wise  to employ, in the rapid military operations of  the present day, men who have already exceeded the generally allotted span of human  yiife.
