W.# June 6,1807. t fcavi thought it would bo gratify ing to ma ay readers of tho Gazette to bo?1f the kind reception extended in Ghna4a to our gallant and noble chief. Immediately upon the arrival of Mr. Davie at Montreal, Mr. Mneon. now resident in Niagara, accompanied by y.- Col. C. J. Helm of Kentucky, late Coned! of the Confederate States at Havana, weal to Montreal to visit him. After spending one or two daye there, Mr. Devi* came with them to Niag"ra.? Crty came by steamboat op the St. wtldcc and crossed Lake Ontario.^ Along the route, wherever the boat { stopped, he we* received in the most enthusiastic manner. There is usually a delay of two hours at Kingston, and on reaching there, not being aware that their moremeats had been tele graphed from point to point, the party went ashore for a stroll, but were an soon furrounded by a crowd, all press ing around the President with cheers and eergralolations, each begging to I abake hand* with him, (bat there was' no resource left but to call a carriage aod dth* back to tbe boat, jet only to find there a larger crowd than they bad reft. Again on board tbe boat, the Chief of Police of Kingston officiated in introducing to Mr. Davis all who could get near enough for that purpose, while the boat remained at the wharf. It left amid heartfelt cheers. When they arrived at Toronto there were between six and seven thousand persons at the whatf. It wan with dif Acuity that Mr. Davis could reach the carriage that was waiting for liim.? Deing detained for three or four hours waiting for tbe boat for Niagara, be went to the residence of Col. Ilelm, where a handsome lunch had been pre pared, and where all the Confederates in the city, besides large numbers of Canadians, paid tbeir respects to him. Go bis return to the boat be was again raet by an equally large crowd, a large party of Confederates and Canadians accompanying him to Niagara. Avriving there, nearly tbe whole population were at the wharf to meet him, many ddobtles impelled by curiosity to see one not only well konwn to the world from his high public position, but whose croui una oratni treatment uy me enemy after he fell into their power ha* made Itia name a household word in nearly every hut, as well as every palape. There was also a largo propor tion who were anxious to evince their kind sympathy for the fallen chief. At Niagara be was the guest of Mr. Ma con, and the night after his arrival he was serenaded by a fine band belong ing to the town, it playirtg, among olh cr airs, " Dixie " and the " Bonnie Blur Flag." Mr. Mason invited the mem hers of the band into his house to par take of some refreshments and to be presented to Mr. Davis, which they cor dially accepted, all shaking hands with him and heartily congratulating him upon bis presence once inore on a soil where the laws enforce civil liberty.? An earnest deriro being expressed to see him by a large crowd outside, when ' God Save the Queen " closed the ser enade, Mr. Davis went out upon the verandah, and in a few remarks, most happily conceived and beautifully ex pressed, thanked them for the compli ment paid, and the kind welcome ex tended to him. Then, with three hearty cheers for Jiff. Davis, and three more for Mr. Mason, the crowd dispers ed. The next day all the principal cit izens called upon him en masse, being introduced by the Mayor. A large party also came from Toronto to see litm. snendino a few hours, and return ing the same day. Thus be has been trade lo feel (bat, although in the I. n<! < ( strangers, be is in the mid<>t offriendi> de-irous to evince their reaped for the man, and their sympathy for the victim of oppression and tyranny. 1 lis plans for the summer are yet un decided, there being no foundation for the thousand absurd reports of what he has done or what lie will do. If he re mains in Canada he may spend it at this little town of Niagara, where a pleasant Confederate society is spiing. ing up, where the bracing winds from the lake may go far to reinvigorate hii enfeebled constitution, and where he will be accessible to friends from the South, and yet removed from the prying curiosity so characteristic of the Yankee. lie left Niagara on Monday, the 3d. for Montreal, to rejoin his family.

Bat we hope this is not the taaa The South has done nothing t* provoke wrath ainee Congress adjoorned In Marob. Why aboeld tbey after Bps tiding the entire regular Session in preparing their measures and area supplement* Ing them before adjourning, undertake some new dorse. The sayings of the Attorney* (leneral, or of tbe President; cannot Justify new experiments of legislation against the helpless and down-trodden white neonle of the Southern Rut**. Why should they bo punished, because the morn opinions of the President differ with certain leaders of the dominant party in Congress T The Southern people now fWel themselves in a political pandemonium, east down from their fonaer high estate into a bell, baring lower and still lower deeps still opening to devour them. Our Southern Editors of newspaper* ar* proas to srgas and reason and speculate on - the condition in whieb the country is plunged, making effort* to inspiro *o me times a iiule courage by a little hope of a better time a coming, or else nursing the resolution of despair. Reading somo of the lilgbly intellectual and philosophical lucrnbations which we find in several of on* exchanges, we are only reminded of the hapless fate of the fallen Angels as described by Milton. They erssyed to beguile tho sorrows of tbeir state, by many expedients, according to the desires, temper* and dispositions existing. Our editorial brethren may be compared to that part of the unhappy fallen, who in their new abode in tbs Infernal kingdom, | " Reasoned high Of Providence, fore knowledge, will and fate . Fixed fate, freewill, foreknowledge absolute, And found no end, in wandering saaaes lost, Of good and evil, much they argwed then ; Of happineM and Jinml miiery, Paitivn, and npathy, and glory and shame, Vain wisdom all, and false philosophy ; Yet with a pleasing sorcery, could charm Tain for a while, or anguish, and excite Fallacious hope, or arm tbo obdurate breast With stubborn patience as with tripple steel." We are afraid that ull our speculations aro as futilo and unprofitable as those cited from the philosophers, among the evil angels. We would not affirm tho analagy to be complete, by ascribing twrfeel vlidnm I I?? ncss to tho power* that rule at Washington.? To say the least, they are, perhaps, men of like passions with ourselves. Sumo infirmities of temper, and grains of folly might possibly be amongst the leaders there, that the future historian with less genius than Mii.tow, may dot loot and expose. Fume presumptuous persons North and South, even now affect to believo that such men as Tn.\t>Evs Stkpiiexs and Ocncral Bbmjamix F. Hvtlkii, are not really altogether sinless and holy beings, or altogether free from secret affinities with the powers of darkness. It should be remembered, however' that among men there will be evil surmises and uncharitable conclusions. As for our Southern white people, tho annlagy may also fail in some respects, inasmuch as the world has already professed to havo discovered virtues and cxrelloneies in such men as the dead StomkwaM. Jackso*, and in surviving Southern men who once felt nnd acted with him in principle and spirit. Masonic Celebration. Rev. A. II. STs.nir.M8 had prepared an address to bo delivered on tho 24th Juno past, St. John's Day, but the weather occasioned a postponement of the meeting to hesr it, till Monday evening last, when a very largo assembly of Indie* and gentlemen gathered in tho Court IJouse. They were well repaid by the able and beautiful address of Mr. Etki-hexi. Ho presented the character of Masonry in most lovely and attractive colors, and eloquently enforced the great moral and religious truths which he maintained are associated with it; and which wo must toko for granted, not only Ikccuuso Masons say so, but because we know that there now are among Masons, and have been from remote age*, pure end pious men. We bare, however, a peculiar view of Ma" sonry, excellent as is its character anil objects. Highly as we esteem our friends and multitudes of others who are connected with it, still, wo believe that since the general diffusion of Christian knowledge, it is not neccssa, ry, and its influcneo is of doubtftil good among , mon. Paradoxical as it may seem, wo hare an ok. jection to Musonry on account of its very Charities and Benevolences; they are, indeed, a glory to Masonry, hut they, when performed in ih name, do not glorify the great Author and Examplar of Love. Masonry, mystically, teaches the unity of God, and the iminor1 tality of the soul, hut because Masonry re1 ceives alike the Jew and the Turk, and ail 1 infidels, so they be Deists, as well as receives all Christians, they must need, in their fixed 1 formulas, ignore Jesus Christ, as well as Ma1 hornet and Jnpilcr, and bury their dead withI out naming the name of Him who is the reeI urrcction and the life, who brought life an^ immortality to light. This is injarions tr (jDriMianiiy. In the address of Mr. Stefhkxs on Mon1 day last, (litre wu embraced a body oi Christian trntb that no one could object to. Rev.W, B.

"" Blackberries. Novr ia the blackberry season an<l they are plenty as usual. People are finding nnt that there is wealth in blackberries. It is stated that the coun'y of Forsyth in North Carolina last year, shipped $60,000 worth of this fruit, and one of the newspapers of North Carolina, snya that the State ought this year to send three millions of dollars worth of blackberries to market. South Carolina ought to tako a bint from her sister, and ship some, too. It is said I bey can be dried profitably and sent to market in that way. The prepartions of dried blackberries on a large scale would pay some enterprising people. Why not eonstruct drytr*, \ sheltered from the weather and artificially heated ; then let all the small capitalists, tho women and children who gather them, carry the berries to the manufacturer, thus prepared' who might bay them and do a wholesale business.
