LETTER FROM THE PoPE.-- letter
from the Pope, addressed to the Arch
bishop and Bishops of the province of
New York, dated in January last, has
just been published in the Frceman's
Journal. The object of the communica-
ton is to recommend the friends Of the
church in New York to cooperate in the
establishing at Rome, of college for
the education of American clergymen.
The letter, after suggesting the estab-
lishment of the proposed college, says:
For your wisdom will instruct you
how great advantages may rebound to
your dioceses from an institution of that
kind. Because, by shis arrangement,
youth chosen by you, and sent hither as
the hope of religion, will grow up as in
a nursery, and imbucd here with piety
and with an excellent education, and
drawing from its very fountain doctrine
incorrupt, and learning the institutes,
and the rites and holy ceremonies in the
method ofthe church which is the moth
er and mistress of all others-when they
return TO their country, will be able
perfectly to discharge the eiiice OF par
ish priest, or of a preacher, or of pro-
fessor, and to shine as an example oflife
to the people, to instruct the ignorant,
and to bring back the erring tothe paths
of truth and justice, as well as by the
armor ofsound doctrine, to confound the
madness and rcfute the fallacies of men Of
guile, If you viii ratify this our de-
sire, which looks into the spiritual good
of these regions, We certainly, as much
as lies in us, will not omit to assist you
with all diligence, that you may estab-
lish the said college"

SOLDIERS OF THE LATE WAR.-These
veterans held meeting in Philadelphia
on Tuesday evening, to make the neces-
sary arrangements for sending delegates
to Washington, D. c., on the anniver-
sary Of the battle of New Orlans.
Among the resolutions adopted by the
meeting were the following:
Resolced, That we urgently invite
our associates in arms. in every section
of the Union, to send delegates to the
National Convention, to be held at
Washington on the coming anniversary
Of the battle of New Orleans.
/" Resolved, That, as the widows of
the defenders of our country in the war
of 1872 cannot personally meet our con-
vention, we invite "a son of every de-
ceased soldier to represent his widowed
mother in our convention.
Rosoired, That it be recommended
to Congress to grant 100 acres of land
to any of the defenders of the country
in the war of 1912, who were confined
in any foreign prison, and, in case of
the death of such prisoner, the land shall
go to his widow if alive, and if not, to
his heirs.
Resolced, That Congress be re-
quested to so modify the bounty-land
act as to allow parol testimony of asso-
,ciates in arms to be secured to prove the
services of those who were in the war OF
1872.
/" ReSo1red, That our friends in Wash
ington be requested to procure suita-
bic place for the assembling of the con-
vention, and to make the necessary ar
rangements for their associates during
their stay.
I" Resotcetl, That we earnestly recon-
mend that the salaries of the Commits
sioner of Pensions, and the Commits
sioner of Public Lands, be increased
as we believe the enlarged and extra
duties of those Offices entitle them to au
enhanced compensation.

WALKER's PLANS IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
"A plan (says an exchange) has al
ready been started for the revival of the
old Central American confederation,
which is likely to be successful. Hon
duras and San Salvador have, on the
invitation Of General Walker, sent COM
missioners to Nicaragua inviting propo-
sitions to that effect, and Walker has
accepted them. This invitation. is to be
extended TO Costo hica and Guatemala,
and, unless they accept it, the forces of
the three other combined States, it is
said, will be used to compel them. 1t is
to be regarded as an act of hostility if
they refuse. Walkers plans already ex-
tend to all Central America.
