now encircles the velvet limbs OF the gay dan

heavily laden, and every thing seems to say that
the season is over. Transient visiters still com
thickly from the far North anu the Canadas-stop
for a moment to plume their wings, and then, as
if the demon of the cold was pursuing them, con-
tinue their migration toward the soft regions of
the sunny South.
The sweet sea breeze that has been our kind

The Catholic Chaplainx.
BALTIMORE. Auoust 81


From private letters received here. we learn
'hat tue jesuit fathers are winning laurels, never
fading laurels, every day.
lhe greatest part of the army is in favor of
them, and many of the general officers are study
ing the spiritual exercises Of Saint Ignatius with
deep attention and devotion.
You may look out soon for a batch of converts.
These priests, as well as the Mexicans, prefer to
have the ten millions of Mexicans with their cathe-
dras, nunneries, converts, their archbishops and
bishops, and their seven thousand priests, united
TO the Catholics of the States, rather than be as
they are now, as this union would entitle them to
twenty-eight Senators, and to one hundred and
forty Representatives in Congress; and. if added
TO the three millions OF Canadians, would give
them such preponderance, protection and Sc
curity on this hemisphere, as they could never
expect while separated.
The union of Mexico and Canada will put an
end to all hostility against the Catholics in the
Union. Yours, r.

" Divorce of Government and
Banks"

Ever since this dogma was proclaimed to
be an article of the Democratic creed, we
dare say that every one Of the rank and file
of the party has placed implicit confidence in
its real practical existence. We would COM
mend to all such the perusal Of the annexed
statement from the New York Courier and
Enquirer of the 8th instant :-Nati0nal In
telJigencer.
The Secretary of the Treasury was an
unsuccessful suppliant yesterday to our City
Banks for loan of their notes, or credit, up
on deposite of the notes of the United States
Treasury bearing an interest at per cent
The proposition of the Secretary was, that
the banks should place some three or four
millions to the credit Of the Treasury of the
United States, and accept as security there
for like amount Of Treasury notes, bearing
per cent interest; in other words, the organ
of this hard-money Administration offered to
the banks-complete separation between
which and the public moneys was one Of the
axiems of the Baltimore Convention, and is
the main foundation of the Subtreasury BILL
with all its apparatus Of iron safes, Receivers
fatty paid, and penal bonds-that if they
would advance to the Federal Government
some three Or four millions Of paper, bearing
no interest, the Government would give for
such advance their own paper bearing per
cent Interest.
"And the banks refused With good rea-
son they refused; for if such an amount of
their ordinary capital were lent to the Gov
ernment, it would be SO much distracted from
the city-unless, indeed, the Treasury notes
deposited as a security should be Immediate
ly put in the market by the banks which, in
the present diminished receipts at the custom
house, could not probably be done, without
causing a decline in the value Of such
notes.
The Banks, however, offered to make
the loan at per cent, at which rate they
can freely lend upon good business paper all
the funds they have. Mr. Walker refused,
alleging that he could elsewhere obtain at 5
per cent what he required.
"It is absurd to suppose that the banks
will lend to the Government at 5 per cent
when they can get per cent from their Gus
toners, upon short business paper-and ev-
cry one conversant, as a Secretary Of the
Treasury ought to be, with such matters,
knows that it is so-and therefore the wrong
of putting the Treasury in the attitude Of a
supplicant to the banks for favors. This is a
wrong to the public In the particular rela-
ton in which Mr.Walker and the Administra-
ton of which he is the organ stand to the
banks it is an Inconsistency exceedingly ri
diculous"

NOT ALL ALONE,

Why weep you thus, my friend, and mourn
And sigh, and say you are all alone,
Because your loved ones die?
In Natures works which you can see,
Uniting with such harmony,
Is their no company?
Is their no voice, nor music sweet,
Among tho Feathered tribes who meet
And cheer us with their lays?
No language in the ripping rill,
The torrent rushing from the hill,
And onward blend their ways?
Is their no language in the Sun,
Which round and round its circles run,
So faithful to obey?
And in the Moons pale, lesser light,
Which cheers and beauties the night,
Has it not aught to say?
If all things living, here were dead,
Had found at last their resting bed
Within the graves recess,
Still--still, there would be company,
Enough to cheer the lonely way,
Enough the heart to bless.
Are YOU alone? All, no my friend,
For does not Nature condescend
To be your company?
All no. for your immortal mind
Which is implanted, you will find
From you will never stray.
Alone! not all alone art thou!
Then why does grief sit on thy brow,
And why detected weep?
Why heaves your bosom with sigh?
Why falls the teardrop from your eye?
When peacefully they sleep,
Cannot you hold communion sweet,
And with your unseen Friend oft meet;
Unbosom all your cares?
Pour in his bosom your complaints,
Heloves the voice of all his saints,
Remembers all their tears.

of the wind and noise ascending from the
streets so that the Bell on the Hall strikes

rection from the fire. As the expense is tri-
fling, we would recommend our City Fathers
to run additional wires over the City-say
one in the vicinity of the Dry Dock, and one
towards Yorkville; we should also think it adj
visable to connect all our Public Institutions,
such as Bellevue Establishment and Black
wells Island with the City Hall it certainly
would be great saving ofmoney to the City,
as it can be used for many purposes, such as
the Police, Watch, and Fire Departments, as
well as be in constant communication with

Triumph of Woman's Rights.

We have matter for joy and congratula-
ton in one of the last acts Of the State Con-
yention that which proposes to secure to
woman her Independent right, in whatever
property she may inherit or acquire; which
will prevent its being plundered by the for
tune hunter-dissipated by the spendthritt-
squandered by the debauchee, or lost by the
gambler.
How many thousands Of women, for the
want of such laws as are to be passed under
this new section of the Constitution, have
been reduced from affiuence to beggary !
How many, whose honest industry and care
full savings have given them a modest compc-
tence, have seen it squandered by drunken
husband, and their children reduced to dis
tress and starvation by the power which our
absurd laws give him, to spend and lose what
never was by right his own.
Generally and proverbially, women are
more saving and careful than men. 1t seems
to be the law of nature, that men should get
and women save and when women are eX-
travagant, it will generally be found, either
that this disposition is connected with other
vices, or that they have never cen trus
with the management of their affairs.
But however this may be, the property
which woman inherits, or which she ac-
quircs by her own industry and talent should
be secure. No honorable man would youn-
tariy squander it,-and because all men are
not honorable, nor all honorable men prudent,
they should not have the power of spending
that to which their right is equivocal, and
where the wrong is SO apparent.
We rejoice in the hope that this reform so
long needed, will soon become the law OF our
State and it must tend in no small degree to
its rosperity. The law when passed, should,
we think be mutual; for there is no reason in
a mans property being taken to pay the debts
contracted by his wife before their marriage
Though a man takes his wife "tor better or
worse it does not follow that he should as
sumo her liabilities Or pay her debts to those
who have been fools enough to trust her
Let the private debts of each come out Of then
own property, while they mutually pay then
mutual expenses.
This is one important step gained in the re-
forms for which we are laboring and there is
a brighter prospect of woman's becoming free
from the shackles which have bound her SO
long, the remains of the slavery which state
of barbarism SO long imposed upon her.
We have the advantage Of partial organ
iration. That carried out and perfected,
and our work will in due time be accomplish
