The Catholic Church.

Mr.. Editor IL aW credltably m
formed that the ladies' forming an AS
ISOLATION for the Catholic Church,
held meeting on Tuesday last, and
decided that the amounts raised by
Fairs, Concerts, &c., in May 1851,
should be appropriated for the pur-
chase Of an Organ, instead Of giving
it to the purpose for which it was
raised. 1t was understood by our citi-
zens generally, that it was to assist in
the building of new Church. They
say the amount which they have in
hand, was raised for the purpose of
purchasing an Organ; to this Mr..
Editor I beg leave to differ with them.
If any one will take the trouble of re-
ferring to the files Of the Baton Rouge
Gazette, they will find a communion
ton signed FAIR GoERs, who first
suggested the propriety Of giving a
Fair or Concert. Who says: mot
long since, we noticed a paper going
the rounds for the purpose Of procur-
ing subscription for the building Of a
new Church." &c. This, Mr.. Editor
does not seem to me, that the funds
they have, was raised for the purchase
of an Organ. You will also find sew
eral articles from the pen Of the Edi-
tors of the Gazette at that time, stat
ing that Fair and Concert was to be
held at the Harvey House for the ben
eft of the Catholic Church, that is for
the bulldog of new Church.
l trust Mr.. Editor, that the ladies
will reflect for moment and at once
appropriate the amount which they
have in hand, to assist the object for
which it was raised.
Twill do justice, however to some
who were present. They opposed the
retaining Of this fund, for they were
we'll aware too, that this fund was moi
raised for the purpose for which some
of them think it was. There was also
several ladies who were absent, ifpre'
sent, would have done what some few
have done, appropriated it for the plr'
pose for which it was raised, to the
building Of new Church. wv.

! ~ On yester day morning an Off
Ger from Louisville, brought to the
Jail at this place, young man, upon
whom is fixed the crime of numbering
two men on fat boat, near the mouth
of Black River, some time since, and
about which 80 much has been said.
1t seems that he was employed on
the boat as q hand''-that as soon as
he became apprised Of the amour: Of
money on board he resolved to do the
deed. To this end he watched an op-
portunity at nighs. when he took a
hammer and killed them whilst asleep,
After the murder was committed he
went to Vidalia-crossed the river to
Natchez-purchased sundry articles of
clothing and a trunk in that city-took
a boat for Louisville where he was ar
ested. His own guilt convicted him,
this is the substance of his confession.
He has been brought here on requisi-
ton from the Governor, the Jail in the
Parish where the murder was COM
mitted, was not deemed secure enough
for the safe keeping of such desper-
ate villain.
