From the Lynchburg Virginan.
Honor to whom Honor is Due.

Mr.. EDIroR:-In your paper Of this morning ap-
pears a laudatory article upon what is termed the
Ericsson discovery, in which much credit is claim
ed for this country for furnishing the capital to de-
velop the discovery. AS it was in the days of old
so it is now; prophet is not without honor save
in his own country. The alleged discoverer ofthis
great improvements foreigner. and he commands
the plaudits and the capital of the Countrywide
native who invented the identical same thing, for
want Of capital compelled to relnquish the
invention, for another, stranger, to reap the har-
vest of his tolls. A man by the name Of Prouty,
born and raised in the city of Richmond, learned
the Gunsmitns business in the armory, removed to
Augusta, Georgia-where he constructed and put
into operation the very engine. about which there
is at present so much noise. HIS machine was pub
licy exhibited at the Bell tavern, in Richmond, in
1882 at which date a patent was obtained, and an
engine was constructed in Augusta, Georgia, which
drove pair of mill stones; but for want of capita
the continuance was temporarily made and had TO
be abandoned. So much for the encouragement of
native genius in preference to strangers.

Resignation of Bishop Ives.

The following letter from Bishop Ives, who has
lately joined the Catholic church, is addressed to
the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
in the Diocese of North Carolnu:
ROME. Wednesday, Dec. %, 1852.
Dear Brethren: Some of you, at least, are aware
that for years doubts of the validity of my oi.ce as
Bishop have at times harraSSed my mind and great
ly eneebled my action. AT other times, it is true,
circumstances have arisen to overrue these doubts,
and TO bring TO my mind temporary teief. But it
has been only temporary for, in spue OF resolutions
10 abandon the reading and the use of Catholic
books; in spite of earnest prayers and entreaties
that God would protect my mind against The dis
tressing influence of Catholic Truth; and in spite
OF public and private professions and declarations,
which in times ofsuspended doubt1 sincerely made
to shield myself from suspicion and win back the
| confidence OF my diocese, which had been we'll
nigh lost-n spite OF all this, and of many other
considerations which would rise up before NE, as
the necessary consequence of suffering my mind to
| be carried forward in the direction in which my
doubts pointed, these doubts would again return
with increased and almost overw helming yigor,
goading at times to the very borders of derange-
ment. .-. - .-Er
Under these doubts, desired temporary relief
| from duties that had become disquieting to me,
and determined to accompany Mrs. Ives, whose
health demanded change of climate, in a short
| absence abroad. But absence has brought no relief
| to my mind. Indeed, the doubts thai disturbed it
have grown into clear and settled convictions; so
clear and settled that, without violation OF con-
science and honor and every obligation of duty to
God and His Church, can no longer remain in my
position.
am called upon, therefore, to do an act of self
sacrifice, in view of which all other self sacrif-
cling acts of my life are less than nothing; called
upon to sever the ties which have been strength
ened by long years of love and forbearance W hich
have bound my heart to many of you, as was Da-
yid's TO that of Jonathan and make my heart bleed
as my hand traces the sentence Which separates all
pastoral relation between us, and conveys to you
the knowledge that hereby resign into your hands
my Office as Bishop of North Carolina; and further,
that am determined TO make my submission to the
Catholic Church.
In addition (my feelings will allow me only 10
Say) this act is earlier than any perception of
my own, and antedates, by some months, the ex-
piration of the time for which asked leave of alb
sence, and for which so promptly received from
members of your body an advance of salary, here
by renounce all claim upon the same, and acknowl-
edge myself bound, on an intimation of your wish,
to return whatever you may have advanced to me
beyond this 22d day Of December. t'
With continued affection and esteem. pray you
to allow me still to subscribe myself,
Your faithful friend, etc.,

APPLICATION TO RELEASE CAPTAIN scHAuMnrRo

APPLICATION TO RELEASE CAPTAIN ScHAuMBERG.
The National Intelligencer says:
The favorable reports gwen of the condition of
Mr.. Edw. H. Fuller having induced the friends and
counsel of Jas. w. Schaumberg TO solicit from
Hon. Judge Crawford, of the Criminal Court, that
their client be allowed the privilege of bail, Gin
view of the commitment of the magistrate,) he was
yesterday brought before the Court on writ of ha-
beas corpus.
Testimony was heard from the attending physi-
clans, Drs. Miller, Royle, Holmead, May, Saun-
ders and Spence, to the amount of probability in
respect to Mr.sFuler's surviving, and also from
Messrs. Holbrook, Berrett, Gary, Morsell, Mark,
Tochman, Linton, Radcliffe, and DR.. Spence touch
ing the main circumstance of the charge against
Schaumberg and sundry secondary facts bearing
thereon.
The medical attendants, though all agreeing in
the present apparently favorable progress of Mr..
Fullers case, could not commit themselves to the
future; it quite too early yet to pronounce an
opinion. In the case of Skidmore, shot in the fall
OF $780, DR.. May attested that, at the end of week
after the shooting, Skdmore's condition was high
ly encouraging, and yet in another week he died.
The same might take place now; so that it would
be improper to infer too much from existing APP
pearances.
The application for bail was zealously supported
by Hon. Senator Cooper, TO whose argument the
District Attorney ably replied which reply was fol-
lowed by Richard S. Coke, Esq, in answer, and
strongly in favor of the application. The Judge,
after patiently hearing all that could lie urged,
deemed an opinion at the present time MS to the
survival of Mr.. Fuller altogether premature, and
therefore remand Schaumberg TO prison.

An EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-Mr. Weber has re-
ported bill in the Senate of Maryland "explana-
tory Of the act of 17l7, chap. 49, relating to SER
wants and ssves,'' to meet most singular case
the particulars of which correspondent of the
Angus thus relates:

person found guilty Of marrying what Is commonly
termed colored person, the parties are liable TO

believe seven) into servitude, and their issue, if
any, as slaves for life. The referred TO is
somewhat after this fashion narrated: white clti.
zen ct this State, some years ago, married female
whom he believed to be of pure white descent.
The woman is said to be handsome, of excellent
est marks indicative OF her being otherwise than OF
the purest Anglo-Saxon race. The man hos ac-
quired fine property and is held in great respect
by all who know him and his family. They have
three children. Some person having undertaken
to trace out the pedigree of the wife, alleges that
her blood is tainted-some of her grand or great
grand parents probably have been of the colorel
species; and the parties have accordingly been it,
dictated in one of the circuit courts ofthis State.
tainture of blood works the serious penalty men,
toned. The indictment is said TO be the result OF
malice. The neighbors, all who knew the family,
have taken deep interest in their behalf. 1t is
SAID that Governor Lowe, upon due representation
of the case, has offered 10 grant mile prosegui-
which would relieve The parties of the process OF
the court; but the parents, feeling anxious to re-
leem their offsprings from all STAN in pub est-
nation. have preferred standing trial, and hence
the present action of the legislature. This is moi
only novel but most severe case.'
