After the first twenty-four hours, for two or
three days, the general fighting was mere boy',
play The men would stand behihd the corners
Of The squares, where they were stationed, load
their pieces, pop their heads around, and blaze
away, when perhaps there Was not finger cf am
enemy in sight. AT Tie expiration of that time,
they began to erect brcastworles of bags of sand
protected by which they have since fired more
regularly aud with greater precision.
The unoiending citizens seemed to be the
greatest sufferers; for, friend or foe, il made no
difference with either party-all who came in
their way were sure to have a volley. Several
of the most respectable ladies eli the city, while
standing in their balconies, have been killed by
chance balls.
It is wonderful how the men sustain themselves

their guns nine days They have had no sleep
I but such as they could snatch by turns, lying OH
the stone pavements, and have had but little to
eat, During the day they are exposed to burn

And yet, night and day, with occasional inter

BISHOP ENGLANp,s LETTER.

As was to have been expected, Bishop Eng
lands letter is the subject of much conversation
and we regard it as favorable indication, that
there are some who are apprehensive that our
remarks will prejudice the Wing cause. We
are told that, among other devices OF the enemy,
they have got up hand-bill, containing our ar
ticle, with the original notice of the Wing Cen
trail Committee recommending our paper to the
patronage of the party, and are circulating it
among the less intelligent Catholics to prove
that the Wing party are opposed to the Catholics
that our remarks were published under the
sanction of the Central Committee, and that
they are, therefore, responsible for them. Thi
is of piece with the rumor that it was written
by MIR. Breckenridge.
In recommending the PILOT, the Wing Central
Committee did no more than bespeak share of
the public patronage of independent press
They are net Consulted individually or collec-
lively, about what appears in its columns, and
are no more responsible for our article in reply to
Bishop England than Mr. Van Buren, is.
Sc much as to the Central Committee. A
word to those who are attempting TO construe our
reply to Bishop England into an attack on the
Catholics, and are endeavcring to mako political
capital out of it, by appeals to the Catholics, and
especially to the less informed Catholic voters,
Have they no fears that they will arouse the in
tslligent of all parties to dsnounce atte0pt to
control an election by such means?
Is it true that the Catholic voters IF this city
are to be carried for Mr.. Van Buren, by such
means, And if they can, is it not time that ali
who love their country should be awakened to
the nature and tendency of introducing such an
influence thus to control our elections?

The Sun complains that, in speaking of the
insertion of Bishop England's letter in that pa
PEI, we did not say that it was inserted as an
advertisement. Our object in speaking of it
was to show that the partisans of the Admins
tration Were using it as a means Of operating on
Catholic voters, and it matters net whether i
was paid for as an advertisement or not. If it
be true that it was inserted by partisan of the
Administration, and the insertion paid, it goes
the more strongly to show the ipproEriety Ct
Bishop England's course. If the editors Of the
Sun think what we have said will injure that
paper, and will say so, we will copy into our
paper, or insert at their request, any statement
that may be necessary to .disabuse the public iH
relation to it.
