its defence, LET WASHINGTON BE DEFENDED! (From the N.Y.Tribune.) While Congress are amusing themselves with propositions vf compromise, which, if they were yet more humiliating to the Free States than they are, some of the rebellious Stats wou'd scornfully refuse; while cowed apparently hy the insult to our flag, and the brutal treatment of Northern citizens, representatives are preparing to yield to threats and vidlence what théy bave heretofore dehied from principlé while they are assuming the right to trample, a8 the servants of the people, upon the verdict rendered by the people in their own sovereignty at the polls; while amid the secession day by day of Southern States, they are drafting bills to introduce new States of extraordinary magnitude, that will possibly secede within a month to join the new Confederacy; while monster petitions from Northern Merchants ready to buy peace at any sacrifice, are being borne to Washington by gentlemen so enraptured with the happy influence of Slavery on our national prosperity as now exhibited to the world, that they would extend it over every foot of Southern territory\u2014by day and night the plot goes on for seizing Washington, for preventing the Congressional announcement of the people\u2019s will, and for proclaiming a Slave Confederacy on the ruins of our glorious Republic.We say to the North and West and East, that there is not an hour to be lost if you would prevent this catastrophe.Let the people, their Governors, and their Legislatures realize the imminence of the danger.Let them insist that Congress shall act on the instant, and make a searching scrutiny into the defenses of Washington.Let them demand that the oath of allegiance be tendered anew to every officer of Government, civil, military, and naval, as was done by Gen.Scott to his officers at Charleston during her first rebellion, when we had a Government and Jackson was at its head.Let every man who hesitates to take the oath be placed in a position where he cannot play the traitor; and let Northern policemen and Northern troops in sufficient numbers be joined to the police and militia of the District, that Washington may be in the hands of defenders whose numerical and moral force will cause the cherished plan of the rebels to be in truth abandoned.Better a thousand times, if it were possible, that martial law should be at once declared at the Capital and every abettor of treason be placed in irons, than that it should be so weakly and treacherously guarded as to invite attack ; for, with tho invasion of Washington will come, beyond all question, attempts at insurrection in Philadelphia aud New-York; civil war in the Border States, sweeping downward toward the Gulf; national convulsion that will shake the world; and perhaps the final disruption of this great Republic, by action more stern than paper resolves and all the by-play of Secession.One would suppose that since the departure from Washington of Senators and Representatives from the rebel States there must be a working majority in both Houses really desirous to preserve the Union; but in the quasi interregnum that now exists in the Federal Government each day brings us news of some rebel triumph over Federal authority\u2014a new theft permitted\u2014an additional fortress betrayed, or some similar outrage meekly acquiesced in.Our national flag trails in the dust dishonored and despised.Mandates from the War Department at Washington are countermanded by rebel guns at Charleston.Federal troops ordered to Fort Sumpter, and, within sight of their destination, shrink froin the fire of Fort Morris.As soon as a Southern Confederacy is formed, hundreds of our military aud naval officers bailing from the South will hold themselves absolved from all allegiance to the Constitution, and will, without warning, array themselves on the side of 1}: rebels, carrying with them soldiers and sailors, fo:- tresses, and ships-of war.A proclamation from a renegade lieutenant was recently published in the papers assuring naval officers that they would earn the gratitude of the South by such timely presents, \u2014war steamers and revenue cutters being especially in demand.We would not impugn the high integrity of the loyal sons of the South, who, like Major Anderson, are maintaining in a difficult and trying position their own honor and that of their country.But withsuck examples of treachery and almost inconceivable: baseness as were presented to us by the President's late Secretaries and their abettors in the Senate ; remembering that those men, on returning home, were not hooted at aslying traitors and thieves for despoiling the country and betraying the Union they were pretending to conserve, but are hailed as gentlemen of honor ; and remembering, too, that the revelations by Floyd of his exceeding meanness were greeted with plaudits by the chivalry of Virginia\u2014no false modesty should deter us from making sure that we are not still in danger of losing by similar treachery the capital and archives ot our Republic.The nation has a right to require that the defense of Washington be placed in the hands of men as free from sll taint of disloyalty as Gen.Scott himself; no man of them sympathizing with rebellion, or anticipating the day when he shall transfer his allegiance to another and a rival sovereignty.We hear that Gen.Scott declares that he can hold the Capital for twenty-four hours against all comers, and that within that time he can procure from the North fifty thousand men.That a tenth part of this number could be so speedily placed in Washington, even if their passage was unobstructed, we are inclined to doubt.But how if the militia of the District fraternize with the assailants?How if treachery is at work all around him, among those on whom he chiefly relies?How if the bridges of Maryland are broken to prevent the passage of the troops from the North and the telegraph wires are cut, and the mails to the North stopped, while by secret concert the cavalry of Virginia and troops from the South\u2019 géne- rally are concentrated upon Washington ?Are'sich things incredible after our recent experience ?\u201cWill it be much more strange to learn that Washington is in the hands of the rébels, and \u2018Congress dispéried, and a new Contéderacy proclaimed, than it has been to learn one $7 one the stupendous losses we haye already sustained at the hands of a Federal Adminis: tration.by traitors calling themselves statesmen, and thieves pretending to be gentlemen?\u2026 to oi re ca ie = 106 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.FEBRUARY 1, 1861.Terms of Advertising in the \u2018\u2018 Daily Witness.\u201d For Advertisements not exceeding 2 lines, 124 cent.each insertion.For Advertisements not exceeding 5 lines, 25 cents each insertion.;

but will the citizens consent that the community shall be injured for the gain of a few individuals who will not give up their soul and body destroying traffic even on the day of rest and peace?We trust that the inere fact of the tavern- keepers opposing a candidate because of his supporting the Subbath law, will be enough to secure his election, and the mere fact of their bringing forward a candidate will be enough to defeat him.The cases in the Montreal Police Courts, on Monday morrings, have dwindled down from 70 or more, to about a third of that number, under this excellent law, and shall men be put in to repeal it?On this most important question we cannot do better than copy the following article from this morning's Commercial Advertiser :\u2014 We understand that a strong effort will be made by the tavern interest at the coming Municipal Election to procure the return of representatives pledged to a repeal of the By-law prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sundays.We trust this attempt will be defeated.The By-law has done an immense amount of good, and this result is already seen in the improved condition of the lubouring classes, in tbe absence of the noise and profanity which used to desecrate the Sabbath, and in the more regular attendance of the people in the places of worship.We are informed by persons who collect rents in the wards in which the labouring population live, that the improvement in the material and moral condition of this class is of the most marked churacter.The husband and father now spends the day of rest in the midst of his family, his wages are no longer consumed in drunkenness and gambling; and those who were always bebind hand with their rent, now pay it with the utmost regularity.The happiness and comfort which bave been caused by this change it is impossible to estimate, and the salutary influence which they will have upon the rising generation.Repeal the By-law, re-open the drinking shops again on the Sunday, and all that has been gained will be lost, and the ruin and misery of thousands who now commence to hope will be ensured.: However citizens may differ on other points of municipal policy, let us have unanimity on this.On the one side the tavern-keeper pleads for the profit earned by the desecration of the Lord's Day, the misery of bodies and the perdition of souls; on the other religion, morality, and mercy ery out against the restoration of a system which has filled the homes of the poor with wretchedness and crime.Let no mun be elected to the Council who wiill:not pledge himself to resist every at- \\ tempt to repeal this By-Law, ~~.TL 1 120-507 Syrian Funp.\u2014Since our last remittance to the Committee for relief of suffering Syrians, the sum of $61.12 has been received and remitted to the Treasurer of the American Board at Boston.The above amount was composed of the following sums :\u2014 Children of Union Sabbath School, Pakenham,.$19 62 Dr.Christie, Lachutey.eceessssescscnssscsssoncens 100 A Friend.0cccunac.onneasenseessacneuceses 160 Collected at Union Prayer-Meetings, Perth.J.Bonner, Ratho, «ccoeveecierieensoienes veer .Prof.Dawson, Montreal.\u2026\u2026.s P.McLaren, LanarKk,.\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.0essesreseccenss H.Fowlds, Hasting8.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.ssrssessenecacseneuce 00 D.F y St.Mary\u2019syececcccceiserscoiciccnaisese 4 00 $61 12 This sum, added to previous remittances, makes a total of $346 55 received on account of this fund at the Montreal Wiiness Office, and transmitted to Syria through the most safe and speedy channels, NARRATIVE OF THE ESCAPE OF A POOR NEGRO WOMAN FROM SLAVERY.(From the Montreal Gazette.) When some years ago Mrs.Stowe wrote * Uncle Tom's Cabin,\u2019\u201d and the whole world read the story of the wrongs of the black man, some there were who did not hesitate to say that thongh such things might exist in the brain of the novelist, they could nowbere elss be found.We lay before our readers to-day a brief account of the sufferings of a poor negro woman, caused by the brutality of a master, which for hideous malignity and fiendish cruelty were beyond theimagination even of a Legree, and a recital of her escape from bondage, which for a romantic interest is far beyond anything we have ever heard of, and another proof that truth is stranger than fiction.We have the account from the lips of the woman herself, who arrived in this city on Monday last, and we have also the statement, over his own signature, of Dr.Reddy, under whose treatment she now is, which fully bears out every word of hers regardiag the cruelty to which she had been subjected.Her history in brief is as follows :\u2014 Born in Washington of free parents, she was while yet an infant stolen from there, with two or three colored men and thirty or forty other \u201c cattle\u201d by a man named Tom Watson, now expiating the theft by imprisonment for life in Richmond Penitentiary.She was taken down to the neighbourhood of Galveston, Texas, as the property of Wm.Whirl, and whose wife, Polly performed to her the part of a mother.It was from Polly Whirl she learned all these particulars, she being of course too young to know anything.Until she was thirteen or fourteen she was brought up as a \u201cshow girl,\u201d taught to dance, sing, cackle like a hen, or crow like a rooster, so that you could not tell the difference, and perform in various other ways; Whirl always being able to attract a crowd from the country round to see her perform.After that time she was sent into the cotton field with the other field bands, where the treatments were cruelly eevere.Scarcely a day passed without their receiving fifty lashes, whether they worked or whether they did not.They were also compelled to go down on their knees, and harnessed to a plough, to plough up the land, with boys for riders, to whip them when they flagged in their work.At other times, they were compelled to walk on hackles, used for hackling flax.Her feet are now dotted over with scars, caused by this brutality.She often over and over again attempted to escape, but having no knowledge of the way, was easily overtaken and brought back.On one occasion, she and her husband, (if he could be called so) made an unsuccessful attempt to fly.The poor man had on his legs for two years irons which had grown into the flesh; these impeded him in bis flight, and caused their capture.He was then shockingly beaten, and otherwise cruelly ill used, so that he died under the treatment, and she was brought back.Her Mistress, Polly Whirl, at last told her of Canada, tbat refuge for the hunted fugitive, and pointed out to her the North Star as her guide by night.This of course was done without the knowledge of the brute Whirl.She again started ; and travelled on foot without clothing, subsisting on herbs and nuts, sometimes parched with thirst, until she actually reached a place in the State of Mississippi called the * Shades of Death.\u201d Here she gave birth to twin children, one of them dead.The other she gave in charge to a woman there.While at the \u2018Shades of Death\u201d she was arrested as a fugitive, put in jail, and claimed by Whirl who had come in- guest of her, and taken back by him to Galveston.This first regular flight was commenced in March 1858.Ou her return to Texas, her master having had some difficulty in proving her identity swore that be would mark her in such a manner that hereafter there would be no such trouble.He slit both her ears, then branded her on the back of her left hand with a hot iron, cut off with an axe the little finger and bone connected therewith of her right hand, searing the wound with a hot iron, and also branded her on the stomach witli a letter, He heard she had tried to incite more of the slaves to escape to Canada, and tried to force her to tell who had told her anything about Canada, promising not to whip ber if she did so.She with the spirit of a martyr refused to give any information, whereupon he bad her fixed in what is there technically called a ¢\u2018 buck.\u201d This was doubling her in two, until ber legs were passed over her head, where they were kept by a stick passed across the back of her neck.This violence was the cause of the distortion mentioned in the doctor's statement.While in this position, several panels of \u2018a board fence were raised, a notch cut in the boards and her neck placed in the notch.She was then whipped to such a degree that the overseer, more humane than the master, interfered to prevent a murder.The wouuds caused by the lash were ruhbed with salt and water, and pepper, to keep away the green flies.After this, on one occasion, Whirl struck her on the head with a hoe-handle a number of times, and actually broke her skull.She says herself that a silver plate had to be put in, and that her master afterwards told her, cursing her, that she had * a dollar in her head to pay her way to purgatory.\u201d At another time she was left for a number of days without anything to eat or drink.Still later, for some disobedience on ber part, they hoisted her into a tree, locked a chain round ber neck and bandeuffed her wrists, the marks being yet visible.There she was left for two days and nights, without a morsel to eat, being taunted with sugh questions as to whether she \u2018was hungry, and wonld like something to eat, &c., &c.she never giving the satisfaction of answering a word.She succeeded at length, by spitting on her hands, in slipping off the cuffs, with which she wrenched asunder the locks of the chains around her neck, and then fell exhausted to the ground.At another time several of her teeth were knocked out by a hammer, she having bitten off a part of her master\u2019s nose, \u2018and at another time she was knocked down with a whip, leaving a scar of more than three inches in length on her cheek.: For more than another year she remained in Texas, when she again escaped.She crossed the gulf in a steamer, hiding amomg some barrels, and when the Captain discovered her and interrogated her as to who she was, she answered him in unintelligible gibberish, so that he could make nothing of it.She was quite naked, and one of the passengers gave her a blanket to throw around her.When they arrived in Louisiana, she went ashore, and commenced her course Northward.She was recognized, however, before long, and pursued.\"She escaped, she says, by plunging into a river and swimming across\u2014her master having taught her how to swim like an eel.The river was full of alligators, but they never touched her.She then went through hardships similar to what she had endured the previous year, made her way to the ¢ Shades of Death,\u201d got her child, started again, and, travelling by theaid of her heavenly beacon, reached Warren County, Illinois She was now on free soil, but she was doomed to still farther sufferings.A negro there, by artful means, entrapped her and sold her for $250 to a resident of Natchez, where she was taken.After six or seven unsuccessful attempts, she reached Canada but without her child.Her object now is, if possible, to earn money tosupport herself, and to raise enough to purchase the freedom of her child, the property of Anu Choil, Boydstown, Kentucky.$250 is the amount necessary to restore the child to his mother.Need we commend the poor woman to the citizens of Montreal for their practical aid, after the history we have given of her?We feel that there will be an immediate response from all.The following is the statement kindly furnished to us by Dr.Reddy, he having been called in to see her by Cook, the man who has so humanely sheltered her :\u2014 MONTREAL, January 28, 1861.I was requested by Mr.Cook to call and see a negro woman who had arrived the previous day in Montreal, be telling me she was very ill from injuries she had received while a slave.On visiting the woman, she complained of severe pain in her right side, caused as she said, by a violent wrench which she received at the hands of her owners.On making examination I found her body very much distorted, her spine curved towards the right side, and the ribs forced completely in the same direction, having a very bulged appearance.I also found the following marks of ill treatment on her person :\u2014A V shaped piece has been slit out of each ear; there is a depression on the right parietal bone, where it had been fractured, and is now very tender to the touch ; the corresponding spot, on the opposite side, has a large scar uncovered by hair; there is a large deep scar, 31 inches long, on the left side of the lower jaw ; several of her teeth are broken out; the back of her left hand has been branded with a heated flat-iron ; the little finger of her right hand with a portion of the bone that it connected with, bas been cut off; the abdomen bears the mark of a large letter 4 inches long in one way and 2} inches in another, also branded io with a hot iron; her ankles are scarred and the soles of her feet are all covered with little round marks apparently inflicted by some sharp instrument, which she accounts for by her stating that she was obliged to walk over hackles used far hackling flax ; her back and person are literally covered over with scars and marks, now healed, evidently produced by the lash.Altogether, she presents a most pitiable appearance, JonN Rebpy, M.D.The pcor woman, who has, since she left Texas travelled under the name of Lavina Bell, (the name first given her by Polly Whirl) is still very ill, but is receiving every medical attention from Dr.Reddy, who will continue his attendance as long as necessary.And now, Canadians, what say ye?shall the man Anderson be given up under the requirements of a code which throws the cloak of legality over such acts, for slaying the man who would stay him while escaping from a bondage so fearful.MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.CrowN Laxp Revenue \u2014The complete returns of the Department for 1860, are not yet quite made up.Meanwhile, the Journal gives as the net revenue for 1860, $1,338,136, of which $966,235 are from land sales, arrears.&c., and $371,901 from timber and slide dues.The collection of this enormous sum-\u2014nearly twice as much as was paid into the Treasury in 1859\u2014is due in great part to the mild yet energetic course of the Commissioner, Hon.Mr.Vankoughnet.\u2014 Pilot.Nearo BAPTISM AT Winnsor.\u2014On Sunday last, about one o'clock, p.m., a large crowd of people congregated on the bank of the river, immediately below the Custom House dock, to witness the ordinance of baptism, administered by the Parson of the Colored Baptist Church.Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the weather, about thirteen colored men and women submitted with exemplary courage, to be immersed, thereby conforming to the particular tenets of their faith, The proceedings were conducted by the colored people with marked solemnity.A number of colored persons were also baptised on the Detroit side of the river, attended by a large crowd of people anxious to witness the ceremony.About seven bad been immersed, when the ice gave away around the hole cnt for the occasion, and a number of the spectators were precipitated into the river.This caused some excitement, but, luckily, beyond a ducking, no one got hurt.\u2014 Windsor paper, \u2014Mr.Phelps, a shingle manufacturer of

are very great.Rents are enormous; .a house which could be bad in 1843 for forty or fitty dollars, would now be considered cheap at five or six hundred.The Russians have purchased and enclosed a large tract of land, outside the Jaffa gate, in a fine position for battering down the walls of Jerusalem.In this place they are building a Hospice, or resort for pilgrims, a church, consulate, &c., and are protected by a wall, which, if not as high, is perhaps as strong as that of the city itself.We have here six consulates, English, French, Russian, Prussian, Austrian, American.The city is crowded, and many of the inhabitants are so filthy, that a miasma arises, which, with the bad quality of the water, causes fever ard dysentery.\u2014 When Lola Montez went to California as an actress, she engaged

a distant State, where he was detailed for public duty) until a recent period, when she met her walking down Broadway, in company with a lady of the highest ton.With her usual impulse, Lola rushed to

indications of more snow.The country roads are nearly impassable, being completely drifted up, and communication with the city is almost suspended.Railway travelling is again impeded, and all the efforts that can be put forth are scarcely sufficient to allow of passenger and mail transit.Between Sarnia and Montreal there are more than 300 car-loads of produce, at various points prevented from coming forward to this city; and we hear, besides, of two very large consignments of Wheat from Milwaukee snowed-up somewhere between that city and this.The snow-storms of the past month have impaired the trade and commerce of this Province to an incalculable extent; and the loss sustained by the G.T.Railway alone must be very great.We are again without our regular commercial advices fiom the South and West.\u2014 There is, we understand, a vacancy in the important office of Harbor Master for the port of Montreal, which we hope will be well filled.In an office like this, requiring experience, ability and energy, it will not do t¢ pursue the same policy as was done in the Montreal Post Office, namely, to appoint an old gentleman because of the excellence of bis character and his supposed claims on the Government, but who had no special fitness for the office.We need, for Harbor Master, one thoroughly acquainted with the business of the port and river, and in the full vigor of life.Such an one, we believe, is Captain Rudolph, long and favorably known as Muster of the steamer \u201c Quebec.\u201d ForeigN MARkETs.\u2014In reviewing the British Grain trade for the week ending 12th ult, the Mark Lane Express says :\u2014 The continuance of severe frost throughout the past week has almost limited agricultural labours to the thrashing of corn.The late thaw has left much of the wheat exposed, which was previously protected by snow, and therefore liable to injury.On the other hand, slugs and vermin, which were very prevalent, will be nearly destroyed, and the frost better prepare the land for seeding than the plough.But in many parts of the country, as in Norfolk, the snow still lies thick, aud no barm in such localities will betaken.We have heard with concern that in Northumberland there arc yet corn sheaves in the fields ; and that some farmers there have actually sold their stooks, consisting of six sheaves, at hal a crown per stook, for feeding game.An early and prosperous spring was never more wanted, and without it there cannot be a good wheat crop this year, as little more than half is yet sown.In consequance of the frost more wheat has been thrashed in the country, and markets have lost rome- what of their toue, while larger deliveries must be expected should the sharp weather last.All foreign advices have rates.France, Belgium, and Holland were culm.The German and Baltic markets rather higher, as well as Odessa, which has been influenced not only by the more favourable accounts from this country as to prices, but by the demand for the Adriatic and Mediterranean.Messrs.Kenneth Dowie & Co., in their Circular of 161h ult, say :\u2014 ¢ We have again had another week of severe frost, and the Canals still continue frozen as previous! noticed ; the railways are unable to forward half the produce seut to them\u2014 and not only does the Corn trade suffer severely from this misfortune, but also all kinds of business.Farmers have been enabled to thrash out much more of their Wheats, which have been greatly improved in condition, and the country Corn markets have had a larger supply, so that they have lost their tone, and in some instances reported 18.to 2s.per qr.lower.\u201d .ot They quote the Ashes sales at Liverpool, for week ending 16th January, as being 200 barrels of Pots at 293.to 29s.6d., and 50 barrels Pearls at

Montreal market presents no new feature.In Dressed Hogs there has been a little more activity, but no advance in price ; receipts light.We hear of one or two farmers who have had their hogs slaughtered for about four weeks ; they are keeping them back from market, in the expectation of a risein price.The pack- ing-houses are busy at present, but there is no immediate outlet for the product, and consequently, no sales to quote.There is little or no demand for Butter.Asues.\u2014The market for both sorts has advanced; Pearls are scarce, and very firm.The following statement is for

stand-stil], there are some commercial topics of interest which business men migbt appropriately consider just now.Here is one to begin with :\u2014 Ought not the Board of Trade to take steps to bring the subject of the currency of the Province specially before the commercial community, the Banks, and the Government?Our legal currency consists of dollars and cents, hut there is a greats scarcity of these coins.Canadian cents are rarely seen, and when they or American cents are offered, they generally pass only for coppers.Canadian shillings (20c.pieces) are few and far between, while a flood of depreciated English shillings and sixpences\u2014old, worn, detaced, some of them almost undistinguishable\u2014are almost the only The public need, first, an abundant supply of silver and copper coin, Secondly, all the old copper should be called in, while the English shilling ought to bave a definite uniform value, say for instance 24 cents, in all the British American Provinces.The Eoglish shilling is current in New Brunswick, at 1s.23d.; in Nova Scotia, at 1s.3d.; while here, with exchange much lower than in any of the Lower Provinces, it is 1s.3d.-or (nominally) 25c., to the great detriment of the trade of Canada.Another important point to be considered in this connection, is the annoying similarity in size and appearance, of the Canadian 20c.piece and the English shilling.Common sense might have dictated at least a difference in size\u2014it should have been distinguish- ably smaller.One side of the existing piece is almost a fac simile of many of the English shillings ; trades people and dealers are frequently deceived by them; and unthinking persons, most probably too those who could ill afford to lose the small sum of 5c., are easily cheated by the designing.\u2019 Such an arrangement as our suggestions involve, would be for the immediate benefit of all classes\u2014 bankers and merchants, the employer and the employed.A general assimilation of coins\u2014the adoption, not in name but in fact, of a decimal eurrency\u2014 throughout these North American Provinces, appears to be an essential matter, and one that might very appropriately engage the earnest attention of the Montreal Board of Trade, as bearing upon the commercial and manufacturing interests of Canada.If « Confederation\u201d is desirable, the adoption of a uniform currency would be a step in the right direction, \u2014 The following items are from the circular of Messrs.Taylor Bros., of 31sf ult :\u2014 STOCKS.\u2014Bank of Montreal\u2014There are buyers at 1165 to 117,
