The following is good thing. A
correspondent OF John Hughcs's New

that paper as follows:
"All the Catholic papers note tho
fact that Sebastopol was taken on the
Feast Of the Virgin. but none save the
Leader observes the coincidence, that
il was just nine months after the pro.
mitigation OF tho Dogma Of the I'M
maculate Conception. In the coaci.
dences. and in the rcpulses of the
English from the Redan, while the
French leaped gloriously upon the
Malakof, we see the interpositicn Of
Mary the Virgin"
The Rochester American" thus
fills up the shading of the beaatiful pic
ture
ut Is another equally remarkable
fact that Sans victory In New York,
Massachusetts, and Maryland, was just
"ninc months" after the election o.
Mr.. Seward to the United States Sen.
ate. We see in II plain 'in,erposi'
