RESULTS UP TO THE PAISSITT TIME OF THE
AMERICAN Wam—Lee us for a meson remember what
has occurred ewe this war begat. Shortly after the
Limited Stales troops surrendered to Beauregard in Fort
flumter, the Confederacy flew its flag from Brownville on
the Rio Grande to Alexandria on the Potomac. Maryland
was heart end soul • Southern slat. Beyond the Mimis-
sip* Adman and Miesonri were ooesidered as certain
auxiliaries. The stare and stripe did not fly on a single
point south of • Baltimore except Fortress Monroe,
Pickett; and the Tortugas. Since that time Virginia
lise been unconstitationally divided into two Skates,
of which ass has been appropriated by the North.
Maryland is bound feat in the Federal Union ; Keutucky
is is the heeds of a Federal governor; Tennessee makes no
effort to shake off the firm grasp which holds her aa
Northam date ; New Orleans has fallen ; Pensacola is under
the Oars and stripes again ; the Miesissippi is a Cajon river ;1
Missouri and Arkansas are Federal states. The waters of
North Carolina are sealed, with the exception of Wilmington.
The mouths of e.arleston Stvannah. and Mobile have
fallen into the Louis iif Mr. Lincoln's forces. Every city
on the banks of the Mississippi is in his power. latest
Britain in the great war held a Urger part of the
revolted colonies ; but she waged war with Freon
and the thirteen states. She hod one enemy within sight
01 her shores, and the other she sought to force back to its
was 3,000 miles away. The North is limitrophe
triliElTSouth. There is no foreign war to distract the
amnion of her people, ant she bag made just enough
to encourage her to make fresh efforts. Should
Savannah fall, en sits* on Charleston by land will no
doubt follow ; and with the possession of the forts at the
entrance to Cape Fear River secured, the work of dosing
the Southern Stake in a receiver will be accomplished.
Whether the North can exhaust the receiver or not, is
the next problem to be determined, bat it is evident the
effort will be lonrcontinned and ssvere.—Arml and
Nary Gazette.

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF ROCHDALE AND THE
TOES COUNCIL.—On Thursday, at the Rochdale town
council meeting, Mr. E. Taylor, the chairman of the ceme-
tery committee, moved that • mortuary chapel be erected
at the cemetery for the use of the Roman catholic, when
the town commit think a sufficient sum of money for the
has been subscribed. In the course of his speech
C.PTssaylor stated that 2351. bad been subscribed in the town
towards the erection, and he was sure the commit would be
madman is pluming the resolution. During the last year
951 persons bad been interred in the cemetery, and out of
that number 124 were Roman catbolics. He had ascertained
from the Rev. Mr. Dowling that there were in Rochdale
from 5,000 to 6,000 Roman esthetics, and them facts he
urged u • reason why they should build them a chapel in
theceenetery. Mr. AUerman Steward seconded the motion.
Mr. Booth objected to the council spending a single shilling
la supper: of any religious permission. If the Roman
eatiohes were prepared to erect a chapel in the cemetery, he
less prepared to vote to give them the ground, bat nothing
she. Aldermen Brierley contended that as the Established
Church and the dissenters had buildings in the cemetery
meted for them, it was nothing but right but one should be
meted for the Roman catholks, and not to be asked to
seetnbute towards the Impetigo. Mr. Dewburst was um
rind to bear Mr. Booth pass the rensetka he had, and if
Wry adopted his advice they would only be adding insult to
ilium Mr. Alderman Healey said that gentlemen sot of
the Roman catholic faith had subscribed the mosey for the
election of the chapel to settle this vexed question, and they
would be doing an injustice to those gentlemen if they did
at accept their offer. Councillor Brierley moved as ea
onteednmat that the cemetery committee be requested to
Wean plans for the erection of a mortuary chapel for the
us of the Roman catholies, and pelmet them to the oast
nesting of the council, and the cost thereof. Mr. W. Saha
