The daily phoenix. (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, December 05, 1865, Image 4
Thomas Darcy McGee, in a speech,
at Montreal, a short time since, said
in favor of British confederation :
Tho text of the Union is taken tip
for us not so much by men as by
events ; every thrill of the telegraphic
wires gives us a reminder not to delay
our Union. I speak on this subject
without exaggeration when I say that
in my deliberate, settled opinion, the
question before all British Americans
at this moment is, "Will you unite,
or will you give up your country to
another people, and another form of
Government ?"
On the other hand, the Montreal
Herald, which reports tho speech,
says editorially :
That there can be any identity of
views between the Fenians and the
members of her Majesty's Canadian
Government may seem at first sight
a paradox almost too absurd for
belief. Nevertheless, we have often
pointed out that tho end of confed?
eration, should it ever take place,
involves as a necessity the destruction
of the present connection between
the mother country and thc colonies,
of which most of us desire the con?
tinuance.
The English army is chiefly com?
posed of quite young men. Of the
50,420 mon serving in the regiments
at home in the year 1863, thc returns
of ages are as foilows : G,01G were
under twenty years of age : 19,775
were twenty, but under twenty-five ;
13,615 were twenty-five, but not thir?
ty ; 6,911 were thirty, but not thirty
five ; 3,280 were thirty-five, but not
forty ; 823 were forty and upwards
Of the recruits inspected in the same
year, nearly three-fifths were under
twenty, 1,003 were boys under seven?
teen, 1,573 were from seventeen to
eigteen, 7,7C>4 from eighteen to nine?
teen. 4,697 from nineteen to twenty,
3,221 from twenty io twenty-one,
2,035 from twenty-one to twenty-two,
1.854 from twenty-two to twenty
three, 2,736 from twenty-three to
twenty-five, and 634 above twenty
five.

MESSRS. HERRING A- Co.-GENTLEMEN:
Though the destruction of the American
Museum has proved a serious loss to my?
self and thc public. I am happy to verify
the old adage, that "It's an ill" wind that
blows nobody good," und, consequently,
congratulate you that your well known
safes have again demonstrated their supe?
rior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal of un?
usual severity.
Th?' sab' you made for me some time
ago was in the office of the Museum, on
the second floor, back part of the building,
and in thc hottest of the tire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
found among the debris, and on opening
it this day has yielded np its contents in
very good order- -books, papers, policies of
insurance, bank bills, all in condition for
immediate use, and a noble commentary
on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire?
proof Safe Yours truly, P. T. BARNUM.
