Taking advantage of the deeply rooted feeling of
opposition to the doctrine Of the Catholic Church,
so general in State like this, where the people are
so overwhelmingly protestant in North Carolina,
it has been the policy of the advocates of Know
Nothingsm to convey the impression that the Demo-
cratic party is proCathoc in its tendencies, has
connection with the doctrines of that denomna
ton although those who try to create that impress
ion must be aware that such is not the fact. There
is Democratic candidate in the State who is not
Protestant, both by persuasion and early training.
Not who is whit more favorable to the religious
tenets Of Catholicism than the most bgoted Know
Nothing. Nay, we do not know of an organ of the
Democratic party in the State which is not edited
and controlled by Protesants of various denomina-
tons, some being church members and some not as
the may be. But Democrats know that mems
religious beliefs thing with which politics have
nothing to do. That politics and religion cannot be
mixed uPone with the other, without mutual injury,
and that any attempt to so mix them up is against
the intent of the trainers of government, at
with the genius of country and dangerous to the
permanency of our institutions. 1t is religious in
tolerance and prescription that the Democratic party
attacks--not Catholicism that it defends That it
has nothing do WITH leaving such questions to the
parties to whom they belong-the religious denomi.

News FROM EUROPE IN SIX DAYs-The New York
and Newfoundland Telegraph Company of which
Mr. Peter Cooper is President have inst closed a
contract with Messrs. Hustled & Kroehl submarine
engineers. of this city, to the " Merlin Rock,
lying in the centre of the entrance to the harbo of
St. Johns Newfoundland, which is the only OBJ
structon to the entrance of the Collins and other
large steamers into that port There are now eigh.
teen feet of water upon the rock at INV tide but as
the Collins steamers draw twenty feet of water
when loaded the Telegraph Company have contract
ed to reduce the s. Merlin Rock to twenty seven
feet below mean low water.
When this obstacle is removed it is probable that
most ofsthe European steamers will make St. Johns
stopping-place, as it lies directly their route
and about one-third of the distance from New York
to Liverpool; so that steamer from Europe, at ST.
Johns, Newfoundland, may have her news telegraph
ed to New York within six days from the date of her
departure.
The contractors expect to complete the work about
the first of August uext- N. 2. Post.

NASHVILLE, June Goth, 1866.
Mr.. EDITOR Il have heard that report is
rent in your county, that Mr.. Shepard, the Know
Nothing candidate for Congress- will poll some six
seven hundred votes in Nash county. Do you
believe it? Can any body believe it? 1 think not
from the most reliable information I get, and
from the leading politicians in the county. Shepard
will poll the large number of about hundred or
one hundred and twenty, at most; and Branch will
get the remander-about eleven hundred. This, l.
think, correct statement of the parties in this
county. But such is Know Nothingism. They pub
seventy two thousand; and what was the result?
a small mistake of several thousand
We hear of occasional designations in the county,
and think by the first Thursday in August, their
number will greatly decreasd. Know Nothingisp
is doomed to finish the death in the South, it SO re-
luctantly commenced in Virginia.

now eighty-seven years old. She had TWEEN
ty-three living children, and prayed to the
good Lord to give her one more, the round
and goodly number Of two dozen. Besides
these, she raised fourteen orphan children
She has educated thirty children-her own
and portion of the orphaps, and for many
years sent nineteen children to school in Par
