[" COMMERCIAL AND SHIPPING GAZETTE.Volume* U' JLi !L\u2018., » TH* MOaTH WKST.-,J^- .dtgrfles and sorely to be left lo\"bhift for oar* selves as an independent state, can we antici* The news lately racaiTed, althoogh no doobt pate more brilliant fate or aiuc^ak^Mn Bull\u2019s greatly exaggerated, are of such a nature as to Bona or Ridgeway\u2019s, Ifwe have^^^Rg wbat- i\teaer to reree as backbone and sinew to onr force attention and create uneasiness io the Volaototr Mliltla ,yis«ra ?If onion be strength, and organization be of any avail against obstacles, military or otherwise, what better organisation or more perfect union can one realise than the one offered by a body of troops, the atoms of which are linked together by the strong are of discipline, and giving the directing head the united efforts of the whole.As regards Red River, soldier labor seems the only one available under present clrcum* stances.In bis report on the North-West, the eminent civil engineer, S.J.Dawson (no advocate of military labor) states It as bis opinion, based on experience of the place, that if contract work be resorted to in the rainy lake section, a military force will be required to protect the workmen.Now, wbat would be the pay of Independent laborers as compared with soldiers\u2014two to one at the lowest co-estimate ! That the men working on this section, and, in fact, on the whole of the route from Lake Soperior to Fort Garry since the late uprising will have to be well kept in band and subjected to some kind of discipUaarseems beyond-question, and itap-pears equally clear that soldiers would be the cheapest, quickest, as well as the most relia-able workmen.?very few changes in organisation, the better to adapt the system to the end now in view,would be necessary.It is evident that weak companies would bo useless expense, as needlessly swelling the superintendence and consequent larger salaries, at the expense of the working material.Companies of say fifty men would give little over eight men to each officer or sergeant.Large companies of one hnndred and fifty to two hnndred men, having in the ranks a proportion of skilled labour of the different trades, well selected and officered [among the latter two or three competent civil engineers] would seem a more practical and advisable establishment.Seven of these companies, under a Lieutenant-Colonel and two Maj ors, would cost considerably less than the same force on the present establishment, and be equally efficient for all purposes.The men might iu the first instance be engaged for one year, with power to Government to discharge after six months, or keeping them another year should circumstances require it, thus making this Force susceptible of being reduced iu autumn and increased again in spring, as necessity arose.In winter none but wbat should be absolutely necessary, and such men as could be employed in a paying manner should be kept on the strength with the exception of the eadrts, who conld be employed surveying or otherwise In that or other parts of the country.Such a Force, it ia confidently anticipated, would open communication between Lake Superior and aorth west angls of Lake of the Woods for considerably less than the estimate ($126,000,) and wonld then have acquired the necessary knowledge of the intervening conatry, be ready trained, disciplined in the hands of Government for far more serious work should the French half-breeds still bold ont, and sbonld the Canadian Government, after trying their best in vain, come to the decision that recourse must be had to the sword.\u2014 ComtmunicaUd.QUBBŒÎO, WEPISiESSPAY, 29tl» » EOE i*f.jaER, 1869.Wo.«307 public mind.If M latest intelligence'* ia to be railed upon, people would soon come to the oonclosion that the atmosphere of Red River is of each a nature as to imperiously call for the establishment and endowment of an immense asylum somewhat after the plan of Bedlam or Beau port, as the one thing neceesary for tome time to coma.While Mr.Lonis Riel and his few 1 and red followers think nothing of open armed rebel-Ik\tr a republic, or gaaiaing a P laws aad proper respect foe Canadian authority without the aotaal presence of a public fore# of segm sort.If our ambition has prompted us to sxtsad \u201cfrom Atlantic to Pacific,\u2019\u2019 it ia obvious our mesas of governing mast be of a different stamp and efficleucv than sufficed In the Principality of Monaco, or bleesed the swarms of petty G^rmin independent States.If the peaceful and civilised population of this province cannot do without its \u201cpolice kill,\u201d and the skip-asrpenfors nod laborers bave at times rendered the presence of a military force rather welcome than otherwise, it cannot be supposed that the half-breeds' present sxhTbKfon and the Indian^ wholly untutored Ideas will make It easy to altogether d(«pease with some means of preserving peace and enter within the territory.The truth of this once admitted, the question resolves itself loto one of what our parliamentary friends would call wayt and meant.The way of organising sack e force as would bp required to meet the exigencies of the present or some other orisis.The menus to pay It or rather to make it pay the greater part of If not the whole cost of its maintenance.^ , .Among tbe chief beosAts which the progress of modern olvilizitioa, aided bp steam, rails and telegraph wires, has conferred on our times, mast be reckoned the strongly practical and eminently utilitarian teadiucy of ideaa that is now struggling lor the mastery and leadership of human scolety.Tbe enthusiast on his bobby, the ous-idea man harping on Vs solitary string meet with a meaning rafle or the move open, short and derisive \u201c No go\u201d rod-tapism, made to mean something Ilka Mlotey, and old systems devoid of adaptability are eqaally tabooed.The time fs far gone when people were satisfied to demurely run In the old groove, and conld afford to wait for and disease for years some promis'd improvement neesssitated by their altered condition.A thing ones naderstood, agreed upon, cannot long be withheld by the powers that be, and exaggerated conservatives are foand on the losing ride, and are the best promoters of whnt they most strenuously opposed.Long wiaded empty appeals to pnrty spirit or patriotism are sore to prove of no avail, aad the education of the masses has )'d to a craving for someth! a g more than plaoslblepbrSara and special pleading.Something tangible must be done, and pratty close cyphering is sure everywhere to test the value of the scheme propeaed.\u2022 Of the aaay escient feudaUdeas likely to explode under the pressure of this ever applied test of practicability and adrisibflity, tbe one longer to resist as well ss most certain of total uprooting is that which goes for to deny to nfrii when employed in s eertria way the amount of intelligence and usefulness, all aye agreed to confer op brute creation and the animals intended for man's nse.A set of ideas Inherlt-gS from former ages and which meant, If spy-tbiusr.thata man, If a soldier, was fit for and shooMhe employed on nothing else than flgbtitg.while the disoastsd troopers horse might draw a cargos plough, seems doomed to be pat by with other carious relics of bygone days.The 1st.Napoleon with his prac tka! genius aad ckamterlstlc contempt for \u2022Id things aad systems whose age was their only recommendation, was the first monarch to show that a toldienr* \u2022 fc a mam for a\u2019that\u201d by axtensively countenancing soldier labour.Since Algeria has, litterally, been made what H Is Py the work of tbe soldier, and pow ye see the Press of Kegland discussing something mare than the mere , working of the soldier L s.his reclaiming of waste lands sad giving at one aad tbe same time imereased vaine to property hitherto va-laelea% pud a reliable, easily t'onad reserve to ËYphd fbr her possible day of trial.If Ma-llefg's plan for the reclaiming, by the y, of waste lands ia Ragland will be ultimately adopted lo its present or some amended shape, we are nnabfe to say, but, the camps at Levis and (fa other colonies,) other instances of the soldier being employed as the cheapest aad vary often the most efficient and reliable laborers is a sufficient proof that Rug land has acknowledged the value of soldier labor.Were It not for tbe fear of glutting the market with underpaid labor, there is reason to believe that ail old conn tries would by this time have there armies usefully employed.Although the fear of promoting pauperism i a densely populated countries jostiflea old countries, the problem for Canada seems to be such a« a child might solve, ft it better for the Pub-l\\( iforfo Depftrtnymt (a difrag a great port of military expenditure, or for both Departments to go to eatridera on their own book and enrich contractors.Most men of the present day in Canada are familiar with the name# of some persons who, after working on Government works, are in possession of large fortunes.What, If that money has been employed la defraying part of the expenses of Sir George Cartier's rather unpopular department, and giving It a jtemioa and means' of'e&oiaacy it eaaoot hope for under the present system?It
