| ROME IN New YORK--THE FREEMAN's JOUR
NAL AND TIE CRUsApER.--For long time past
we have had in this city newspaper--tirst
weekly and then semi-weekly -called the Free
mans Journal, which may be considered to be
the organ of Rome, under the Pope, or of New
York under Archbishop Hughes, in maintaining
| all the dogmas of the middle ages, all the phi
! losophy of the propaganda, and all the miracles
| of all the saints in the Roman calendar, from
the time of John the Baptist down to the recent
miracle in France, in the appearance of the Holy
Mother. This journal was conducted by de-
voted Catholic convert by the name of McMas-
tiers, and generally, too, with a great deal OF
spirit and talent, Notwithstanding that it does
maintain some very queer old doctrines. How
ever, it has had the field to itself, and has been
beating about the air. in the domains of politics
and religion, in pretty much the same way
that Don Quixotte went out in search of adven-
lures, attended by Sancho Panza. At last we
perceive that a regular combatant has appeared
in the feld-an organ Of young Italy" under
the name Of the Crusader, and conducted by
Secchi de Casali. The first number OF this jour-
nal appeared the other day, full of life, spirit,
intellect. talent. and modern philosophy, with
very little credulity of any kind derived from
the middle ages.
The two journals may be considered the bane
and antidote to each other and in that respect
they fill up vacuum in the amusing weekly
journalism of New York. The Holy Fathers at
Rome. all the Cardinals, the Society of Jesus,
the Propaganda, the Archbishop of New York,
and all the Catholic institutions Of the city, arc
taken in charge by the very reverend McMas-
tiers, Of the Journal while young Italy. Father
Gavazzi, Mazzini. the remains of the Roman
republic and the hopes Of the Italians in the
peninsula, supported, calculated, illustrated
and enforced, with great skill and adroitness by
the paladin of the Crusader. We hope. there
fore, that the daily and weekly journals Of the
day will form ring and allow the bull-fght to
60 on between the two combatants in question.
McMasters has hard head, and Secchi de Ca
sail. when the Popes are concerned has hard
heart and { no compunctious visitings of con-
science" We expect to see great fun in the con-
flict between these organs of old and young
Italy-the Holy Father on one side, and Father
Gavazzi and the republic on the other.
OLE Bulls COLONY IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND
Music IN GENERAL---We give elsewhere in our
columns, a very curious, but, we believe, re-
liable communication from a member Of the new
colony Of Ole Bull. in Pennsylvania, whose posi-
ton and knowledge Of the facts warrant the in
ference that the statements made are correct and
uDdoubted. We believe they come from one of
the medical men Of the community which has
been formed on the property in question. One
thing appears evident on the representations
made by our correspondent--thath however meri-
torious and active Ole Bull may be in getting
up concert, he does not exhibit an equal
amount of talent in getting up colony The
great error of germs is, when it succeeds in one
pursuit, that it imagines that special intelli-
gence is universal in its application. Ole Bull,
when he first made his appearance in this
country as an artist, had awarded to him great
applause, great popularity. and great attention.
But it seems he was not satisfied with the repu-
'tation acquired as an artist--he must needs
seek all sorts of admiration. personal, intellec-
tual, and historical. He must needs be great
republican, a prodigious patriot the father of a
new colony, the rival of De Soto the compecr
of Washington the wonder Of the world. The
outside ambition, INDUCED in hey ond the limits
Of his talent as an artist. has almost ruined his
standing before the world, and even affected his
still undoubted reputation as a violinist and q
musician. All this, however only shows the
wisdom Of the vulgar adage, that every shoe
maker should stick to his last"
MOVEMENTS IN AusTRALIA--We call atten-
ton to the correspondence and documents
which we publish in our columns to-day
from the Australian continent. They will be
found to be generally Of an instructive and
interesting character. The most important of
the subjects referred to in them is that Of the
new movement set on foot in Melbourne, with
the object of inducing the colonial govern
ment to establish, and the home government to
cooperate in maintaining, three lines Of postal
